Vol 2 Chapter 95: BP in trouble
In April this year, when the Yushu earthquake broke out, there was actually something more eye-catching in the world.
That is the famous oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
On April 20th, a violent explosion occurred in a maritime explosion in Louisiana in the southern United States.
Since April 22, there have been reports successively showing that oil spills have occurred in this area.
At that time, no vigilance was aroused, but by the beginning of May, oil spills continued to expand, and the number and speed of oil spills reached new heights, and they continued to increase sharply.
Shooting down from the sky, the entire area is full of black oil pollution belts, which is shocking.
This offshore oil mine and the nearby mining area belong to British Petroleum.
BP may not be familiar to everyone, but when it comes to their abbreviation bp and their most famous sun flower logo, everyone will suddenly realize.
This is the world’s largest oil company and the largest group company in Europe. The stock value has reached 150 billion US dollars. It has a very high position in the oil field. The oil companies that often beat the United States can’t touch it. It can be regarded as a sunset. The British exhaled fiercely.
Their business spreads all over the world, and they have huge cooperation interests even in China. Even the Japanese in this field in China can only withdraw.
Although they are not as scary as the one or two hundred billion network companies are now, but in terms of actual social influence, these network companies together are not as good as the bp company, and even Xiao Qi’s fairy company may not be able to. Row.
This is the same as the industry and technology industry of a country. You see that it is not so valuable and not so profitable. But this is the most important foundation of a country, and it won't work without it.
These values are simply not measurable by money.
bp company is relying on its own influence. Layout in the global petroleum industry and petroleum derivatives industry, and continuously integrate into the industrial production of each country. Get the benefits of this and that.
The interests of those companies that extend through its subsidiaries and holding companies are as high as tens of billions of dollars and have an influence of more than 100 billion dollars. The value of this part, but not many people can calculate it clearly.
But they were still planted this time.
The oil spill in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico went beyond everyone's expectations. In mid-May, instead of controlling the speed and quantity of the oil spill, it soared again. The coastlines of the five states of Louisiana, Florida, Mississippi, Texas, and Alabama in the southern waters of the United States have all been severely affected.
Now the problem is really big, and the entire United States has begun a crusade against bp oil.
In fact, there are a lot of oil spills in offshore oil drilling and production, but that is in other countries, not in the United States, and the oil spill on our Uncle Sam’s side is not OK!
The Obamas of the United States personally called the British Prime Minister to put pressure on the British Prime Minister, and the U.S. congressmen even threatened to kill BP. This made BP even more embarrassed, and he became even more frantic in dealing with leaks.
So until July 15th. bp oil announced that the new oil control device has completely blocked the oil spill site, and no more drop of crude oil has flowed into the Gulf of Mexico.
This is how the first stage of the matter ended, and the rest is the question of how to compensate the Americans. According to the temper of the Americans, this time bp oil will peel off if it is not dead.
If it is the bp company before April, it is not a big problem for them to cope with such compensation.
But in just three months, the market value of bp has plummeted by more than 70%, leaving only a market value of about 40 billion U.S. dollars.
Calculated from the estimation that Americans must at least demand 5-10 billion U.S. dollars in compensation for the big opening of the Lions. In this way, bp will have to sell a lot of company rights and interests. Under the looting of others, bp may not be able to continue for 20 to 30 years Rejuvenate.
The most hateful is the Yankee.
Originally for such an oil spill. The US law stipulates that the maximum compensation is 75 million US dollars, but it will be on July 16. The US Senate held a meeting the day after BP Petroleum announced that it had blocked the oil spill. Voted to pass a specific bill, announcing the abolition of bp oil compensation this time, until it is unlimited.
Awesome, right?
Americans who keep putting pressure on China and asking China to act in accordance with the law can pass specific bills to change the law at will!
Such shamelessness, China should study more in terms of foreign trade and economic sanctions!
The British have nothing to do with the shamelessness of the Americans. They can only swallow their breath and prepare to negotiate with the Americans slowly.
On the one hand, it can reduce losses a little bit, on the other hand, it can also delay more time, so that BP can recover more vigor and have money to compensate.
However, because of the expectation of huge compensation, how did you make bp oil's stock price rise?
If there is no other way, BP Petroleum will look for help from all over the world to see if anyone can help raise the stock price and pull them.
Now the evil results accumulated by the British shit-chucking stick have been reflected.
The Dutch Shell Petroleum and the French Total Petroleum Company, these well-known oil companies in Europe, simply ignore their share swap agreement.
The oil companies in the United States are willing, but they offer a super low price that all British people want to hit them, so this business still cannot be negotiated.
Japan and South Korea are also similar. They not only offer low prices, but also want to intervene in oil exploration and exploitation in Africa and the North Sea region of the United Kingdom. This was also directly rejected by the British. If you buy it back, if you sell the oil rights in these areas, the BP will have to break at least one arm, and it won't be worth it.
The oil giants on the Chinese side are a little softer. They want to buy the oil interests of the British bp company in South America and Australia. This is not enough for the British to break an arm, but it is also a break. A few fingers.
After bumping into walls everywhere, the brokers invited by bp company thought of Xiao Qi.
If the world’s richest man announces the purchase of bp stock in a high-profile manner and expresses his confidence in bp oil, then the stock price of bp oil will increase by at least about 20%, and with the continuous development of other businesses of bp company, the stock price will follow benign The rise of the cycle is a good way to do so.
Xiao Qi is not very interested in bp oil, but the price given by Goldman Sachs is very attractive.
bp company is going to ask Xiao Qi to buy about 5% of the stock at the market price, and then they use it to speculate, and Xiao Qi will therefore have the ability to buy 3% of bp oil stock at the current price within the next 5 years. s right.
Calculating it is equivalent to Xiao Qi buying 8% of bp oil company's shares with almost 3.2 billion US dollars, becoming the company's fifth largest shareholder and second largest private shareholder.
Calculated at the normal price of bp oil, this transaction is actually a very cost-effective deal, which Xiao Qi can obtain about US$12 billion in assets.
But there is also a certain risk here, that is, within five years, if bp oil cannot return to the normal price, then Xiao Qi will not necessarily exercise the right to buy 3% bp oil stock, which means that he will lose the benefit fee.
But no matter what, the price of bp oil shouldn't be around 40 billion US dollars now, so in fact Xiao Qi's business is at least doubling to make money.
Taking into account the stable profitability of bp oil and their various oil rights around the world, Xiao Qi finally agreed to this condition, but it needs to be changed. He will directly buy 8% of bp oil shares in the market, and bp The advantage given by the oil company is that at the price of 50 US dollars a barrel of oil, 20 billion US dollars of oil was sold to Xiao Qi. The entire transaction was completed in three years...
When bp company heard this, it was naturally very stable and could not ask for it!
With Xiao Qi's investment vision, since he dared to buy so many stocks of bp oil company, it proves that he is optimistic about the future of bp company.
The purchase of oil is even more welcome. Although the current price of oil has rushed to 65 US dollars, the price of 40 US dollars is less than the normal price by %, but considering that the most lack of bp oil company is cash, if it is 20 billion US dollars more The super-large order of BP can create a good performance and offset people's worries about bp company paying huge indemnities.
Anyway, oil is available everywhere~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and it can be dug out. BP's mining cost in Africa is terribly low, and they all earn 40 dollars!
They even actively proposed that the 20 billion U.S. dollars of oil don't have to be taken back to China. Didn't you, Xiao Qi, buy oil for Xiaoyao Express, Xiaoyao Logistics and Qiwen Airlines?
We will refining all kinds of fuel for you in our own refinery, and you can just extract the refined oil and go back.
Xiao Qi laughed blankly at this, and the British could see stitches.
Buying oil is a piece of money, and then refining oil is another piece of money. Although the profit will not be too high, the sales and turnover generated as a result are tangible results, and it can also promote production more. It's more than one stone with one stone!
In the end, the young man would naturally not agree to this proposal. Although the refining standards in China are a bit worse, the gap is not that big. It is not the aviation industry, but civil oil products. There is still not so much attention to detail.
How can it be better for the British to promote production circulation than to provide more orders to factories in your own country? (To be continued.)
