Chapter 538 [Petroleum Middleman]
Early June, Hong Kong.
In the reclamation section of Central Ring Road (the location of the ferry terminal), two buildings have set off!
One building resembles an oil drilling platform, one building resembles a big blue pillar, and two buildings have become landmarks of the island;
The building that resembles an oil drilling platform is naturally the Global Building, while the sky-summit blue pillar is the Cheung Kong Building, which was completed last year;
Cheung Shi Building is 55 stories high and is the tallest building in Asia;
From a distance, Cheung Kong Building looks like a cylinder, and the external structure uses a blue glass curtain wall, so it is called "the sky-summit blue pillar" by Hong Kong people.
The floor area of the entire Cheung Kong Building is 500,000 square feet. The first to sixth floors are shopping malls, and the seventh to fifty-fifth floors are office buildings, hotels, hotels, etc.
As the tallest and most luxurious building in Hong Kong, it naturally attracted many multinational companies to rent office buildings;
At this time, the Cheung Kong Building has been rented out.
However, due to the impact of the Hong Kong stock market crash, the rental price fell by about 20%;
The shopping center on the first to sixth floors has a shop area of 60,000 square feet;
The average rental price of shops is HKD 15 per square foot per month, with monthly rent of HKD 900,000 and annual rent of HKD 10.8 million;
The area of the seventh to fifty-fifth floors is 440,000 square feet, the average rental price is HKD 4 per square feet per month, the monthly rent is HKD 1.76 million, and the annual rent is HKD 21 million.
The current annual rent collection of the entire Cheung Kong Building can reach HK$31.8 million, while the total construction cost (including land price) is HK$600 million.
It seems to take 20 years to recover the cost, but in fact, it is not the case. Once the housing prices rise later, the cost will probably be recovered in ten years.
The Rolls-Royce convoy slowly drove into the basement of Cheung Kong Real Estate, and Wu Guangyao was sitting in the car;
The first floor of the basement is a restaurant, a place where snacks gather, the second floor of the basement and the third floor of the basement are the parking lot;
There is also a government-managed parking lot next to Cheung Shi Building, so those who come to Cheung Shi Building Shopping Center don’t have to worry about parking spaces at all.
After the Cheung Kong Building was put into use, the Wu family finally owned a shopping center in Central;
You should know that every inch of land in Central is impossible to have a separate commercial complex, so the shopping malls are all on the lower floors of the building;
Wu Guangyao is not a person who is tempted by money, so although many buildings have been completed before, considering that they are the headquarters of various group companies, they are not rented to shopping malls, hotels, hotels, and entertainment venues.
Wu Guangyao positioned Cheung Kong Building as a building that integrates high-end office buildings, high-end shopping centers, high-end hotels, and high-end hotels;
At the same time, the "Guangyao Family Office" also chose the top two floors.
Four Rolls-Royce drove into the second-floor underground garage and arrived at a dedicated parking space;
Before Wu Guangyao got off the car, the bodyguard had already carefully observed the surrounding environment and blocked the outside.
It seems that Wu Guangyao's bodyguard team is a bit of a big deal, and some people may say that Wu Guangyao shows off or something;
In fact, Wu Guangyao never cared about the details of the bodyguards. He just spent money to provide positions, and the rest was the team's business;
Others think that they are showing off things that they are used to, which means that everyone looks at them from a different perspective!
A Rolls-Royce stretched out a "long legs" and saw the shiny black leather shoes and flat black trousers.
Then a charming man with a big back head came out;
Needless to say, this is the protagonist's appearance!
Wu Guangyao walked towards the elevator entrance with confidence.
Top floor of Cheung Shi Building.
In a very luxurious conference room, Wu Guangyao, Morse, Rong Bensheng, Hollande, Jonas, Gao Ke, and Li Ming were having a meeting.
This combination is a little strange. Morse, Rong Bensheng, Hollande and Jonas are Wu Guangyao's personal consultants, and Gao Ke and Li Ming are the heads of Global Shipping and Global Pier.
Actually, it’s not surprising at all, because Wu Guangyao is planning a big plan!
Wu Guangyao took the lead and said: "Gao Ke, how are the preparations for the oil tanker?"
Gao Ke quickly straightened his body and said, "Global Shipping can draw a total of 12 million tons of oil tankers in the four months from August to November."
"Doesn't the shadow affect the normal operation of the company?"
"There may be a little!"
Wu Guangyao nodded and said, "It's okay! After this time, it's time for Global Shipping to slowly reduce ships!"
Everyone was shocked and felt a little incredible!
Gao Ke said: "Boss! There is no need to reduce the ship. Our ship has no loans, so we can rent it out at a lower price! At least there will be a lot of profits, and so many seafarers are reduced..."
Upon hearing this, Wu Guangyao said, "Don't panic, reducing ships is a slow process. My plan is to allow Global Shipping to retain only 3 million tons of oil tankers and 3 million tons of container ships before the 1980s. As for the way out for seafarers, other factories under my jurisdiction will give priority to their reemployment!"
Gao Ke said unwillingly: "Boss! Although shipping is on a downward trend, our global shipping is very competitive. Both the price and the quality of seafarers have great advantages..."
Wu Guangyao waved his hand and said, "Listen to me! In the cold winter of shipping, these advantages cannot be changed; if most of the ships are empty, the salary of the seafarers, the maintenance fees of the ship, the parking fees, and the loss fees, all require a lot of funds to fill in."
Gao Ke was shocked. The boss predicted that the cold winter of shipping was coming?
However, everyone didn't ask the boss after all, because these may just be the boss's predictions!
Wu Guangyao then said: "Onasis also promised to rent me a 2 million tons oil tanker (3 months). I also rented a 3 million tons oil tanker from other ship owners of Hong Kong Island. Gao Ke, you go to Japan, Europe and the United States to rent and lease oil tankers. I need a large number of oil tankers from August to October. I will rent it in the name of my Wu family office, and I will ask someone to cooperate with you!"
Although Gao Ke was puzzled, he nodded first to agree.
Looking at everyone's puzzled expression, Wu Guangyao smiled and said, "The price of oil may be rising recently, and it doesn't matter if it doesn't rise. I will sell it to European and American oil merchants and will not lose a penny!"
this!
Everyone thinks that the boss always does something incredible, but in the end it proves that the boss is right!
So, since there is no risk, no one has advised you!
Morse said worriedly: "Boss, we may not be able to buy 20 million tons of oil in three months!"
Indeed, the output of oil-producing countries in the Middle East is based on demand. The annual output of the entire Middle East is only about 4.2 million barrels (600,000 tons), and the monthly output is only 18 million tons.
Wu Guangyao wants to buy 20 million tons in one go, so European and American countries should be anxious!
"The last time I went to Saudi Arabia, I had already negotiated! The Saudi king helped me coordinate and supply 20 million tons of oil from Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait and other places."
At this moment, the king of Saudi Arabia was the fourth prince who asked Wu Guangyao for the Eagle Falcon. Since Wu Guangyao knew that he would become the king, how could he not invest?
So, the two of them have always been in love over the years!
In addition, Wu Guangyao bought oil at $3.3 per barrel this time, which means that the price per ton is 2.1 US dollars higher, and 20 million tons is 42 million US dollars more. Even the Saudi king is willing to help this little.
For this plan, Wu Guangyao started making plans half a year ago;
To make this ticket, you must first have an oil tanker, and secondly, you must purchase 20 million tons of oil in two months (August and September).
Finally, it is the docking of the oil tanker. After all, if you buy oil, it is impossible to sell it immediately, and you have to go to Europe and the United States to sell it;
However, Global Shipping's global container terminals can naturally come in handy.
Wu Guangyao reminded Li Ming: "All the piers in Europe, America and Japan should arrange one to two months for our ships; we should give full play to the role of computer scheduling, which will not affect business, and can also arrange my oil tanker reasonably. If there is not enough location, arrange it nearby."
Wu Guangyao's arrangements are in order, and everyone no longer thinks about whether the boss's big move will be in vain!
Chapter completed!
