Chapter 115: My purchase of crude oil was exposed to the world

 After the signing was completed, the representatives from various countries did not stay much and took the nearest flight directly back to their home countries.

After they returned to China, they naturally would not hide the news, but directly went to their country's largest media to break the news.

After all, these are all political achievements.

Energy countries rely on selling energy. If crude oil is sold, the national treasury will become richer.

When Su Cheng signed the contract with them, it didn't say anything about keeping it secret. It was just that the price couldn't be disclosed to the outside world, but there was no special limit on the purchase quantity.

Because he knows that keeping the purchase volume secret is meaningless.

Later, he will also sell these crude oil.

Now that everyone knows that he has so much crude oil in his hands, it is simply a free advertisement. Why should he keep it a secret!

Soon, the trade leaders of these countries were interviewed by the biggest local TV news.

Kuwait National Television: "my country successfully sold a crude oil deal with a total volume of 14 million barrels, and the buyer came from Sioux City, a mysterious rich man in Hong Kong."

Abu Dhabi TV in the United Arab Emirates: "Buyers from Xiangjiang have reached a 15 million barrel crude oil deal with my country."

Brazil's Globo TV: "From Xiangjiang on the other side of the world, a mysterious rich man has reached a cooperation with my country's largest crude oil production state-owned enterprise to purchase 28 million barrels of crude oil. The contract has been successfully signed."

……

As national television reports were broadcast one after another, newspapers and media also paid attention to these news.

Each of these contracts is enough to make them sigh.

For example, Kuwait's total crude oil production last year was only 718 million barrels. This was a whole year's production, and this time it reached 14 million barrels. Although Kuwait has a small land area, it is still full of oil.

A major crude oil producing country.

Brunei's crude oil production last year was only 50 million barrels. This transaction directly reached 8 million barrels, which is equivalent to their country's production of almost two months.

The reason why Sioux City's news is so outstanding is not only the large purchase volume, but more importantly, his personal identity.

Because some countries’ crude oil purchases will be larger.

Of course Sioux City cannot compare with the purchasing volume of a big country, but in this transaction, it is not the country that is the buyer, but individuals.

Tianwen Petroleum Company is a company that was founded less than a month ago.

News that a relatively unknown rich man purchases crude oil in large quantities will naturally arouse the curiosity and attention of many media.

Soon, the internationally renowned British media BBC calculated the total purchase volume of Sioux City.

Ordered 14 million barrels of crude oil in Kuwait; 15 million barrels of crude oil in the United Arab Emirates; 32 million barrels of crude oil in Iraq; 34 million barrels of crude oil in the Maple Leaf Country; 8 million barrels of crude oil in Brunei; and 13 million barrels of crude oil in Oman;

Ordered 26 million barrels of crude oil in the UK; ordered 28 million barrels of crude oil in Brazil; a total of 170 million barrels of crude oil ordered!

As soon as this number came out, it quickly spread throughout the world's mainstream media.

170 million barrels of crude oil, what is this concept?

In 1978, the price of crude oil was stable at 12.5-13 US dollars per barrel.

In other words, this businessman from Sioux City, who is not well-known internationally, actually ordered crude oil worth more than 2.1 billion US dollars this time.

The total amount of this transaction absolutely shocked the world. Even in Europe and the United States, such a huge investment is rarely seen.

In order to determine the authenticity, Reuters, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, CNN, The Times, BCC and other media made calls to the trade ministries of these eight countries.

After receiving a very positive answer, various media outlets sent reporters to Xiangjiang.

Compared with the previous reports on the acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa and the groundbreaking ceremony of the Xiangjiang oil base, this time it is even more shocking.

After all, the acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa is just an acquisition of a Hong Kong company, and its influence is not enough to alarm the whole world.

As for the Xiangjiang oil base, there is no actual amount of investment, everything is fictitious, just a little hype and it will be over.

But this time it's completely different. Real money and money will be invested in nearly 10 billion Hong Kong dollars.

They received news from the trade ministries of various countries that Tianwen Petroleum Company had paid 30% of the total purchase amount.

Although the specific funding is unknown, it should be very similar to the international crude oil price.

As a result, reporters from powerful and well-known international media flew to Xiangjiang from Japan, South Korea, Europe, America, Australia and other places.

They hope to dig out specific information about this super-rich man who suddenly appeared in Sioux City and why he bought so much crude oil.

The news naturally reached the Hong Kong Governor's Office, and MacLehose directly called Su Cheng.

"Mr. Su, when you talk about investing tens of billions to build the Xiangjiang oil industry chain, don't you mean buying crude oil?" MacLehose asked very directly on the phone.

He even thought that he had been deceived.

Buying crude oil to store, what kind of investment in the oil industry chain is this?

Su Cheng quickly guessed what Mailihao was worried about, so he smiled and said: "Mr. Governor, please rest assured that the construction of the Xiangjiang oil industry chain I am referring to is not simply buying crude oil. This will not contribute much to Xiangjiang.

I will gradually invest in the oil industry in Xiangjiang and speed up the construction of the refinery area in the later period. However, these must be done step by step. Mr. Governor, don’t panic. My roots are in Xiangjiang. How can I joke with the Xiangjiang government!"

"In that case, I'm relieved. I've received news that the world's major media have recently come to our Xiangjiang. You'd better be mentally prepared." Mai Lihao reminded.

"Thank you, Mr. Governor, for the reminder. I will pay attention to it," Su Cheng said.

In fact, he had already obtained the news about the appearance of reporters from major media outlets at Xiangjiang Airport through Brother Wu, and their target was him, the Hong Kong rich man who shocked the world.

Su Cheng even considered whether he should take a yacht to Lamma Island to avoid the limelight.

It’s not a big deal to be stared at by paparazzi from various media.

However, this idea was soon interrupted.

Zhang Qizheng called, and many media stayed at Tianyuan Building and refused to leave, just to interview this crude oil buyer in Su City.

Even if the police came, there was nothing they could do. Among these reporters, some of the most powerful media reporters in the world, such as BBC, CNN, and The Times, came all the way from the headquarters. Even the Hong Kong Governor’s Government would not dare to provoke them at will, let alone

These are the police.

"Boss, you'd better come out, otherwise these people will really stay here and seriously affect our normal work." Zhang Qizheng said helplessly on the phone.

"Okay, I'll go over and have a word with them." Su Cheng also smiled helplessly.
