Chapter 142 - Chapter 142: Advancing To Retreat And Earning An Extra 4 Billion

The lunch was very sumptuous!Probably to take care of Zhang Heng, there were many dishes, all of which were domestic dishes. I think in the palace of the Great Camel Kingdom, there must be a domestic chef in charge of cooking, and his level is not low, and he is also a chef-level existence.Naturally, such a reception must also have the characteristics of their Great Camel Kingdom, and most of the local dishes are also local dishes, and the two account for half.Formal occasions are all some etiquette things.Until after lunch."I once again represent the royal family of the Great Camel Kingdom to thank Mr. Zhang for his contribution to us!"The king has expressed his gratitude once, and now he expresses it again, showing his solemnity and true gratitude from the heart.There must be verbal gratitude, and there must be substantial benefits.He also went straight to the point: "I heard that Mr.Zhang has a mining company, and the company's business also includes crude oil and natural gas?""Yes, Your Majesty!"Zhang Heng nodded with a smile, his face was very calm, but in his heart he said that he was finally talking about business, and he also gave a brief introduction: "In our country, our Hengyuan Mining Group has built a giant oil depot storage area with more than 110 million tons of gasoline and about 130 million tons of diesel.""At present, this oil depot area has been fully built. At the same time, a natural gas storage area of ​​more than 20 million cubic meters is being built, and a small crude oil processing and refining base is nearly completed.""Energy is also a part of mining resources, but crude oil and natural gas are too important. They are industrial necessities and are closely related to daily life. Energy is indispensable, and the core business of Hengyuan Mining Group is everything related to mineral resources."Zhang Heng rounded it out. Most mining companies do not interfere in the energy sector. There are separate energy companies, but he has both.Speaking of which, in China, there are not many private enterprises in the energy sector. Some companies invest in some oil wells abroad, but rarely transport the crude oil or natural gas extracted from the oil wells back to China. They are all sold on the spot.There is only one reason!Energy is the lifeline of industry this time, and it is also closely related to daily life. It is absolutely extraordinary. The two domestic oil companies are mainly energy. They are two giants and are absolutely state-owned enterprises.In this case, how can domestic private companies compete with the two giants? There is no advantage at all, and they are not as anxious as them. There are some private companies that sell the crude oil and natural gas extracted from the oil wells to the two oil companies.In short, there are very few private companies that transport their own goods back, and even if there are, they are only a small amount."Since Hengyuan Mining Group has energy business, we can further cooperate." `!"The king nodded.He had made a start and was waiting for now.He was more serious and dignified.He said slowly: "My brother promised you in your country that he would give you a 10% preferential export price for crude oil." "We in the Great Camel Country pay the most attention to promises.To use your language, it is to keep our word."The king seemed to know the culture of the country very well.He paused for a moment and then continued: "I can formally promise you here to keep the 10% discount unchanged and give you a priority supply share of 50 million tons of crude oil every year. "At the same time, the crude oil exported to you is the best quality light oil, without a drop of heavy oil."The king smiled and said to Zhang Heng. "Thank you, Your Majesty!"Zhang Heng still kept smiling, calm and unperturbed.He said thank you, but in fact he cursed the king in his heart.His words were very nice, elegant, and artistic.He said that 50 million tons would be given priority.This is to block him in front and block his way back, that is, to prevent him from asking for too much. What if he becomes powerful in the future [in the next ten years, he will buy hundreds of millions of tons of crude oil from the Great Camel Country?Their annual oil production is also about 450-500 million tons. If it is hundreds of millions of tons, it will account for about one-fifth of the total production capacity, which is really scary.If he is really generous, he should not take the initiative to bring it up, but he should bring it up himself, so that both sides can show their sincerity!But then again, he is the king, considering the problem from the overall perspective, and preventing loss of control, and not wanting to break his promise, so there is nothing wrong with such a move.But even if he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, he changed his original plan after thinking for a while: "Your Majesty, with my ability, there is no way to import 50 million tons of crude oil per ton. 30 million tons a year is the limit of my future development and growth of the company."Taking the initiative to reduce 20 million tons shows that he is not greedy, and he is always thinking about others. Of course, he is also playing a little trick.As expected!His move still won him favor, but giving in made the king feel guilty."If that's the case, then our country also has huge reserves of natural gas, and the annual production is also huge!"The king thought for a moment and made a decision: "Then I will give you another 500 million cubic meters of natural gas every year, and the offshore price will still be 10% lower.". Your Majesty,"Mr. Zhang, your contribution to our country is outstanding, especially to our royal family. You pay attention to repaying kindness, and so do we.The king interrupted and continued with a smile: "Please don't reject our kindness.This is our best gift to our friends, and it is what you deserve. "Okay, thank you!"Zhang Heng agreed with a bitter face.As for what he was thinking, only he knew it.In such an occasion, he could not show his true thoughts on his face. "You have won the friendship of our Great Camel Country.We are always warm and generous to our friends!"The king hinted.As the head of a country, wisdom does not need to be said.He will consider everything comprehensively and must have his purpose. "I also cherish every friendship!"Zhang Heng naturally took the opportunity to express his opinion.There are many benefits to making friends with local tyrants.His move just now was to take advantage of the situation.After that, he retreated.Wouldn't there be subsequent returns?500 million cubic meters of natural gas per year, and a 10% discount.This is definitely not a small amount.At the current international natural gas price, one meter is nearly 250 yuan. 10% is a preferential price of 25 yuan per cubic meter. 500 million cubic meters, if he works to the full amount, the net profit of this preferential price alone in a year will be as high as 12.5 billion.This does not count the difference between the FOB price and the current price. If it is calculated, 500 million cubic meters can definitely bring him tens of billions more net profit.In other words, just these 500 million cubic meters of natural gas can bring him at least 15 billion net profit every year.This calculation is Qin!He cut 20 million tons of crude oil by retreating to advance, and got 500 million cubic meters of natural gas as compensation. He did not lose money, but made more money, more than 4 billion more than before.Somewhat incredible!Zhang Heng had never thought of it, but the fact was right in front of him. It was outrageous that his mother opened the door for outrageous things. It was outrageous to the extreme.
