"Don't worry, boss, I'm very familiar with these operations. I guarantee that I will absorb the stocks of Hong Kong Electric Group without anyone noticing." Zhang Qizheng promised confidently.

In this regard, Su Cheng still trusts him very much.

Zhang Qizheng completed the previous Wharf stock acquisitions, Hutchison Whampoa stock acquisitions, etc. very beautifully.

Nowadays, it should be easier to win over Hong Kong Electric Group, a company that few people are interested in.

According to the historical process, if Sioux City had not interfered with the HK Electric Group, it would have taken until April 1982 for the HK Electric Group to be taken over by Jardine Matheson Land in the "dawn raid" operation, which massively absorbed HK Electric's stocks in the market and eventually sucked it into the market.

bought 220 million shares of HK Electric, accounting for 34.9% of the shares, becoming the largest shareholder of HK Electric Group and the controlling shareholder of HK Electric Group.

Until 1985, Land fell into a debt crisis and finally had no choice but to sell Hong Kong Electric to Li Chaoren.

However, in this parallel world, the history of Xiangjiang is destined to be changed. Jardine Land will no longer have the chance to win over Hong Kong Electric Group, and Li Chaoren will not be able to sit back and enjoy the success.

Because, Hong Kong Electric Group is being targeted by Sioux City.

Can the company favored by Su Cheng escape? Of course it’s impossible!

……

Time soon came to August 5, 1978.

Today, eight heads of state from oil-producing countries gathered at the Hilton Hotel in Hong Kong Central.

They were naturally invited by Zhang Qizheng to sign the contract.

When signing a contract with such a large sum of money, it is naturally impossible for Su Cheng not to come, and the contract will be signed by him personally.

Also coming at the same time was Mr. Shen Bi, the senior manager of Huifeng Bank.

At this time, in a conference room at the Hilton Hotel, there were heads of commerce and trade ministries from eight countries including Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Iraq, Maple Leaf Country, Brunei, Oman, the United Kingdom, and Brazil. The heads of big countries may be more calm, while the heads of small and medium-sized countries

The people in charge are all excitedly waiting for the arrival of 10 o'clock in the morning.

Because the signing time is at 10 o'clock in the morning on August 5th.

Almost all of these people in charge arrived in Xiangjiang more than one or two days in advance to wait, and those in charge from Brunei, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates had already arrived in Xiangjiang on August 2, waiting to sign contracts.

Although the crude oil sales market seems to be very stable, in fact, every crude oil producing country has more or less inventory.

Now, if this deal is negotiated, their inventory will be reduced a lot or even emptied, which will also earn a considerable amount of revenue for the national finance.

A total of 1.859 billion US dollars in transactions, converted into Hong Kong dollars, is 8.7 billion in funds.

This amount of money is a very large amount of money in this era.

For example, Brunei's GDP this year is only 1.942 billion U.S. dollars. After signing a contract with Tianwen Petroleum Company in Sioux City today, they reached a business of 84 million U.S. dollars. This is relative to their GDP.

4.3% of the value.

At 9:50 in the morning, Su Cheng and Zhang Qizheng belatedly entered the conference room.

Seeing Su Cheng, all the responsible persons immediately became energetic and began to deal with Su Cheng one after another.

Although they secretly laughed at Sioux City's behavior of hoarding oil, it did not stop them from wanting to make money from Sioux City at all.

"Welcome to Xiangjiang, everyone. I apologize if I didn't greet you well. Then let's just go ahead and sign the contract." Su Cheng said to everyone with a smile.

In front of the round conference table, everyone sat down with an empty chair separated from each other. There was a contract in front of them.

Of course, the contracts between each other cannot be read, and the price must be kept strictly confidential.

The contracts in each country are basically the same except for some price deviations. For example, after signing the contract, Su City needs to pay a 30% deposit to their account. After the crude oil is shipped, Su City will

Settle the remaining funds.

If one of the parties to the transaction breaches the contract, it will be required to compensate 50% of the total transaction amount.

Therefore, as long as the contract is signed, Suzhou City basically has no worries about this deal.

Are you worried that these countries will break the contract and default on the debt?

Don’t worry, if they default on the money, their reputation will be ruined. Therefore, no country will break the contract just for this small amount of money.

Su Cheng also has 8 contracts in front of him. After he signs them, he will exchange contracts with the trade leaders of the 8 countries. At that time, he will sign and stamp the other contracts, and the contract will be considered completed.

The contract signing went smoothly, and Su Cheng took photos with them one by one.

"Mr. Shen Bi, your Huifeng Bank will be responsible for the 30% deposit." After signing the contract, Su Cheng said to Shen Bi with a smile.

"Mr. Su, please don't worry. I have called Huifeng Bank and they are already carrying out the transfer operation." Shen Bi nodded and said.

These were all agreed in advance. For the sake of safety, Huifeng Bank will be responsible for the transfer of the 5 billion Hong Kong dollars in Sioux City loans.

Of course, Su Cheng didn't care about this, but found it convenient for him.

Soon, the heads of trade departments in various countries received notifications that they had received the deposit.

In this way, everyone said goodbye to Su City happily. The mission of coming to Xiangjiang this time was considered completed.

Sioux City, with 8 contracts in hand, also left the Hilton Hotel in Central with a happy mood.

After signing the contract, their cooperation was officially concluded.

In other words, Sioux City can ask the chartering king to help pull crude oil.

At noon that day, Su Cheng contacted the charter king again.

Still in the reception room on the 18th floor of Wheelock Tower in Hong Kong, Su Cheng met the charter king.

"Mr. Bao, I will leave the crude oil transportation to you. Later on, I will ask Mr. Zhang Qizheng, the general manager of Tianwen Petroleum Company, to sign a cooperation contract with your Global Shipping Group on my behalf." Su Cheng said directly.

.

"Mr. Su, please rest assured that we will transport your crude oil to its destination quickly, safely and completely," the chartering king assured happily.

After negotiating a business worth hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, the chartering king is naturally happy.

"Then I wonder how long it will take you to help me complete the transportation task?" Su Cheng asked.

"In the past few days, we have also calculated the time. Since the oil pulling places are not concentrated this time, and hundreds of VLCC ultra-large oil tankers need to be loaded for transportation, it will definitely not be completed in a short time. I think

The fastest speed requires very precise tanker dispatching.

After a lot of calculations, we have come up with an accurate time, which can help you bring back all the crude oil within 75 days!" The chartering king was obviously well prepared and gave Su Cheng a detailed answer.
p>

75 days, today is August 5th, which means that all crude oil can be brought back before October 20th.

This time is enough for Su City.

So, he directly said to the charter king: "Okay, then I'll trouble you. I hope our cooperation will go smoothly!"

"Good cooperation!"
Chapter completed!
