"Mr. Yao, if our company purchases 11 LNG ships, can we get delivery priority?"
As soon as Yao Yuan walked to the door of the banquet hall, he was stopped by an Arab. He looked at Yao Yuan with a faint smile and asked, "This Arab showed the kind of "I am rich" kind of momentum, which is in line with the people in the Middle East who get rich by selling oil.
Rich style.
Nakirat Shipping Company, from Qatar.
Because of the Sedan Oilfield, Yao Yuan needs to underwrite the natural gas in the United Arab Emirates. These natural gases need to be transported by LNG ships, and most of them have to be transported back to China as a fuel source for pipeline gas in Guangdong Province and the eastern coastal areas.
The volume is large and the management is full. Therefore, Sedan Oilfield has cooperative relationships with many shipping companies that own LNG ship fleets, entrusting them to transport or rent their LNG ships. In fact, this is one of the reasons why shipowners give priority to shipbuilding.
Both Sedan Oilfield and Fangxiang Shipbuilding have the same owner. One place places an order to buy a ship, and the other side uses the purchased ship to receive orders from Sedan Oilfield. If nothing else, it is just for a good impression. Shipowners cannot build ships for Fangfang.
wishes are ignored.
This is also an advantage that other shipyards do not have. Hyundai Heavy Industries currently has oil fields, but they are all in inland areas. To transport across the ocean, you must first transport by land and then by sea. Where can the Sedan Oilfield be as efficient as directly berthing for loading?
high.
Qatar Nakirat Shipping Company is a new enterprise established in recent years. It currently has only three LNG ships, all of which are employed to transport liquefied natural gas for the Sedan Oilfield.
However, behind Nakirat Shipping are the wealthy Qataris who are extremely rich and have endless money to spend. They have long been disgusted with the monopoly of European and American companies on the LNG shipping market, and decided to set up a "Middle Easterners' own LNG shipping company"
Operating Company", thus the birth of Nakirat Shipping, a shipping company specializing in the transportation of liquefied natural gas.
Yao Yuan knows that with the full support of the local tycoons in the Middle East, Nakirat Shipping will sooner or later become the largest LNG ship operator in the world, probably no one else.
Look, there are 11 LNG ship orders at the outset. Maersk Line needs to carefully consider this.
"Mr. Hamad." Yao Yuan nodded slightly, "The delivery time has a lot to do with the tonnage of the ship. I don't know how big of an LNG ship Nakirat Shipping wants to purchase. Should it be built according to the design drawings you provided or will we provide design services?
?”
Hamad smiled and asked, "Does Directional Shipbuilding have the qualifications to design LNG ships?"
"We have an internationally certified design agency, and we can provide a full range of services to Directional Shipbuilding, from design and construction to subsequent maintenance, improvement and even recycling and dismantling. Of course, we can also provide a series of consulting services including business."
When Yao Yuan said this, he looked around with a smile and said, "We can provide a complete set of solutions. In fact, ship owners only need to spend the funds to purchase LNG ships and they can enjoy the benefits."
Everyone smiled slightly and were quite interested in the "complete solution" mentioned by Yao Yuan.
Hamad was very straightforward, "Entrust Direction Shipbuilding to design it. We want a 260,000 cubic meter LNG ship. Mr. Yao, how long will it take for the ship to be delivered?"
He didn't ask about the price, which shows his wealth.
The 260,000 cubic meter LNG ship is currently the largest LNG ship in the world. The tycoons in the Middle East are the tycoons in the Middle East. Regardless of the price, they want the largest one, or in other words, regardless of the size, they want the most expensive one.
Yao Yuan glanced at the anxious Oster and said fairly, "Mr. Hamad, on a first-come, first-served basis, if Nakirat Shipping submits an order for 11 ships of 260,000 cubic meters to Direction Shipbuilding... 260,000
cubic meters, this is the largest LNG ship in the world... We will build your company's order immediately after completing the orders of Evergreen Shipping and Maersk Line. Well, we will complete the construction of your company's 11 LNG ships within six years.
No problem."
The representatives of Oster and Evergreen Marine were relieved that their order priority status was maintained. Just now they were really worried that Yao Yuan would be defeated by the money offensive of the Middle Eastern tycoons.
Khalid hesitated for a moment. He was not a professional shipping person. Although he knew that completing the construction of 11 260,000 cubic meter LNG ships in six years was already very fast, from his perspective, it still seemed a bit slow.
.
Yao Yuan knew that Khalid would not be satisfied. Nakirat Shipping was very, very short of ships. There were only so many LNG ships in service in the world, and there was no place to rent them. Many shipyards' orders have been scheduled for two years.
, the wealthy shareholders behind Nakirat Shipping are impatient and unhappy.
The emergence of Oriental Shipbuilding, apart from its technical advantages, the mere ability to build LNG ships is enough to make the world's shipowners flock to it, because it is equivalent to the sudden appearance of an LNG in the world's shipbuilding industry that has not accepted any orders.
Shipyard!
At this time, Yao Yuan smiled and said, "Of course, we can build a new branch factory for the order of Najirat Shipping to specially build your company's LNG ship. This is a high-end exclusive service. However, in this case, the cost will increase."
Relatively high…”
High-end exclusive service?
Yao Yuan looked at Khalid with burning eyes, his expression seemed to say, come and pay the high membership fee, customer, all the high-end private customization and exclusive super platinum services will be provided to you!
"Will it be expensive?" The Middle Eastern tycoon read something in Yao Yuan's eyes that showed a strong desire for money that made him uneasy. He was actually worried that he would not be able to pay!
It is an illusion to make the wealthy people in the Middle East feel worried about not being able to pay!
Yao Yuan gave Khalid reassurance, "Nakirat Shipping's financial strength is absolutely no problem."
Under the leadership of the debt-phobic Yao Yuan, Dongfeng Group did not start large-scale borrowing until the first half of this year. Even so, the debt ratio did not exceed the red line of 80%, which is incredible in the eyes of most Western companies.
, the larger the company, the higher the debt ratio, and it is normal for the debt ratio to exceed 100%.
Many companies are even highly indebted, and at the same time transfer a large amount of funds to build "clone". Enterprise groups with traditional ideas and cautious styles like Dongfeng Group are too rare.
But Yao Yuan knows that compared with Nakirat Shipping, Chunfeng Group is considered radical. Regardless of the scale of the company, although Nakirat Shipping is a new shipping company that was established not long ago, its current scale is still small, but
There are billions of dollars in cash lying in people's business accounts!
That’s billions of dollars in cash!
Just put it in your business account without doing anything!
This is typical shitty thinking. Which company would tolerate such behavior?
But Nakirat Shipping doesn’t care at all about the billions of dollars in wasted profits lying in its account, it’s just so willful!
Looking around the world, how many shipping companies can put out billions of dollars in cash? I’m afraid even Maersk, the world’s largest shipping company, can’t do it.
The richness and wealth of the Middle Eastern tycoons are fully demonstrated.
In another decade or so, when the tycoons in the Middle East hire a large number of Western financial elites and cooperate with various Western investment institutions, huge funds from the Middle East will flood into various markets, including many illegal markets.
After the tycoons in the Middle East learned how to invest, their brutal style was even worse than that of the coal bosses.
