680. Intentions of unconventional means
"Dirham Petroleum Co., Ltd.? What kind of company is this?"
A company like aed oil is not even considered a root hair in the oil kilometer world, and it can even be said to be nonsense. A small company with a scale of only tens of millions of Australian dollars so far can be said to be as numerous as a bull's hair in the oil industry. In the eyes of many big players, such a small company is simply not even considered a mosquito leg.
Not to mention Annie Li, who can earn hundreds of thousands of yuan in a minute now, even she felt strange when the name of such an unknown Australian company popped up from Li Yifan's mouth. Where did Li Yifan know about such an unknown small company, and how could he be sure that such a small company can make money?
"It's just an Australian local oil company, which is not large in scale and is not very good now. The oil exploration work I just did on the offshore near Darwin failed and owed a lot of money from the bank. Now they have mortgaged the most valuable pipelines in their hands, as well as more than 20 gas stations in Melbourne in Sydney. This time they plan to continue to explore offshore in Australia!"
Li Yifan smiled and reported the origin of the Dirham Oil Company, and Annie, opposite him, almost jumped up after hearing this.
It is easy for you to get this money, but you can't spend it like this. Isn't this money thrown into the water? People can even hear it at least, but what are you trying to do?
"Yifan... Australia is an oil-poor country, which has been a conclusion in the oil industry for a long time. If you are really interested in the oil industry, I think you might as well try it in Canada. Although there has not been a large-scale development of oil sands, I think there is still a lot of potential for investment in some places."
Annie Li's meaning is very clear. Li Yifan, if you want to conduct oil exploration in Australia, I think you should stop as soon as possible. There is no soil suitable for oil here.
Li Yifan smiled bitterly. He didn't know this, but he couldn't tell Li Annie about the explosion of Dirham's character. It's the most appropriate thing to do now.
This time, Dirham was very hard to raise funds. They mortgaged several pipelines and gas stations in their hands to the bank. On the one hand, they paid back the previous loan, and on the other hand, they wanted to borrow some money from the bank.
But the vampires in the bank are not so easy to fool. Fortunately, Dirham has a few half-dead oil fields in their hands, which can bring them certain economic benefits every day, otherwise the banks would have stripped them of skin and bones and swallowed them clean.
In the end, if the Americans hadn't fought with Iraq in Afghanistan and led to the rise in international oil prices, this oil company would have long since disappeared.
However, it was also because of the surge in oil prices this time. The company regained its vitality by resuming its oil surge two years later, so that it could once again borrow from the bank and then find two offshore oil fields off the coast of Perth.
However, in the original history, it happened six or seven years later.
This time, Li Yifan planned to take action in advance. If he could acquire this company, he would inject capital into the company so that they could drive out the two offshore oil wells during the craziest period of international oil prices after the outbreak of the Iraq War.
By then, the international oil prices will remain high, and the market value of this company will definitely be even more crazy. Originally, their price increased by twenty times within a month. Now Li Yifan believes that if he uses his own means, the market value of this company may increase by forty times.
Hehe, as long as it is operated properly, it is quite profitable. Then, when the company's market value is at its highest, it will be a great deal to sell the company to those giants in the oil industry.
The key is to see how you operate. This is definitely an opportunity for Li Yifan, but for Annie, it is an extremely bad investment decision.
Australian oil-poor oil has long been defined by oil exploration experts from all over the world. It is not only because of those people in the early years, but later, after various energy satellites were able to enter the sky, people can explore underground resources through very clear satellite pictures, and they can see more clearly.
Those geographical and mineral experts have long concluded that there are no large-scale oil fields underground in Australia. Even if there are, they must be buried in very secrets or very difficult places to mine.
So it is absolutely unwise to invest in such a company at this time. She really can't understand why Li Yifan, who always seems extremely smart, made such a stupid investment decision.
What Li Yifan was also very upset was that he could not tell Li Annie what he knew.
"Listen to me, Anne, the reason I invest in such a company is not because it can find oil or something in Australia, but because of the assets, pipelines, and gas stations in their hands. Americans may still use force in the Middle East in the next few years. Afghanistan alone cannot satisfy their appetite, so the oil price is likely to continue to rise. On the other hand, you also know that I know many senior officials in the domestic petroleum and petrochemical system. Now the domestic oil and petrochemical systems are in the stage of wanting to expand externally. No matter whether oil fields can be found abroad, as long as they can acquire some of the high-quality assets of foreign oil companies, for them, it is a political achievement. You also know that more about politics is involved..."
After Li Yifan said this, Annie Li didn't say anything. Although she didn't like Li Yifan's investment decision very much, if it was involved in politics, there would be nothing to say.
After all, once business is related to politics, it is not impossible to make even a funny business decision.
Although Li Yifan didn't say it clearly, he had already understood what he meant just now. It seemed that he wanted to acquire such a high-quality oil company, then whitewash and package it, and then sell it to some state-owned enterprises in China. In this way, those state-owned enterprises can get face and he can afford it. And maybe he can also get a relationship with the senior management of oil or petrochemicals. In this way, this seemingly ridiculous investment is reasonable.
Annie Li sighed and stopped talking. Li Yifan also felt a cold sweat at this time. It was really not easy to convince this woman. Fortunately, she fooled her half-truely, otherwise it would be difficult to convince her. After all, she was the executor who was pushed to the front desk by herself, and she was also a very responsible executor.
"So Yifan, what are you going to do with Rio Tinto? Japanese people are not that easy to deal with, and even if you go to Japan, you may not be able to find the right way."
Annie Li remembered the Rio Tinto they mentioned before. When it comes to this company, she seems to be the big one. They are very optimistic about this company, but they can't get involved when they see it, which makes her very annoyed.
"Hehe, you'll be relieved. I'll go to Japan in a while. Then you ask Lao Tao to bring a few people to help me, preferably the kind of person who knows Japanese. If legitimate methods don't work, then we have to use some unconventional methods."
Li Yifan sneered and said to Annie Li, and Annie felt a sudden blow.
"Yifan, don't mess around. It's not Japan, not Indonesia. The situation in their country is even more complicated. Moreover, their police are not as useless as Indonesian police. If they cause trouble in their country, it will not be so easy to end."
When Annie Li saw the sneer on Li Yifan's face, she certainly understood what he meant, but she was very worried that Japanese people are not that easy to mess with.
What's more, not only the Japanese policemen are rampant in Japan, but also the Japanese ya pants. These guys are always known for being ruthless. Their reputation is not only spread throughout Japan, but also world-famous.
She was really worried that if Li Yifan was messing around in Japan, he might be able to do it well and he would be able to break it.
After hearing her concern, Li Yifan felt a little warm, but he still said to her confidently.
"Don't worry, I'm free to do it, and do you think I'll fight an unprepared war?"
Looking at Li Yifan's confident smile, Annie suddenly felt a sense of confidence in her heart for some reason. Indeed, this guy valued and liked to turn the impossible into the possibility. He did have a magical ability.
But Li Yifan sighed in his heart. He originally wanted to go to Japan a few years later. He originally wanted to wait until the situation in Japan became more complicated. The person he wanted to find was coming to the door when the change was more thorough, but he didn't expect that the plan had to be carried out in advance.
But that's good. Now that person may be in the most depressing stage. At this time, he will reach out to help him. It may be better than waiting a few years later and after his own power has begun to become successful!
