Chapter 6953
The biggest cost of long-distance transportation is fuel oil.
A 100,000-ton freighter requires dozens of tons of heavy fuel oil every day.
It can refill thousands or even thousands of tons of fuel at a time.
If the price difference is several hundred yuan per ton, then adding fuel once can make a difference of hundreds of thousands.
Many ocean-going freighters like to refuel in Singapore,
Mainly because the oil prices there are cheap,
And filling them up can save a lot of money.
If Hamid had oil, he wouldn’t have had to struggle to find any buyer at all,
He would just have to sell the oil to Cataclysmic Front at a lower price,
And Cataclysmic Front would sell the heavy oil to ISU Shipping at a lower price,
And this line of business would be considered a runaway.
When the time comes, Hamid can make money,
Cataclysmic Front can make money,
ISU shipping can save part of the fuel cost.
The fleet size is there, and the cost savings in a year may be hundreds of millions.
This is definitely a win-win situation.
Moreover, Cataclysmic Front relied on the foundation of escorting this route,
And carrying out refueling business for ISU Shipping was nothing more than a matter of carrying hands.
Although Syria’s oil reserves are not as rich as those of the wealthy countries,
Charlie does not expect Hamid to get a large oil field that can make tens of thousands of dollars a day.
As long as there is one that is about the same,
It can be digested internally by Cataclysmic Front and Yisu Shipping.
This matter is worth getting into.
Moreover, Charlie didn’t want to save himself money,
Mainly because Hamid, a big boss, was usually bored in that poor ravine and had almost no source of income.
If he hadn’t assisted himself, his base would not be where it is today.
But if he can’t make ends meet for a long time,
It’s like a company that has been losing money all year round.
Overall, it’s a bottomless pit, forcing him to make money.
He doesn’t have the ability, and he has to subsidize him by himself.
Or just give him up.
So for Charlie, the best way is to be able to help Hamid find a stable channel of earnings.
“Syria is a place where wars are raging all year round, and the land is barren.”
“Even if you grow food, you may not be able to achieve self-sufficiency.”
“Let alone make money here to feed a huge army!”
To say that you want to make some money locally,
The best thing you can do is to extract oil.
If Hamid can’t get himself a piece of land that can produce oil,
Then Charlie even considers asking him to find an opportunity to grab one.
Otherwise, with such a big stall as he is now spreading out,
He may well not be able to hold out once he terminates the aid himself.
Hamid also roughly understood what Charlie meant.
Now that the stalls are large, not only are there more people,
But there are also many more permanent fortifications under construction and needing maintenance than before.
The overall operating costs have doubled several times compared to before.
Plus, Charlie has been letting himself hoard enough supplies,
And those reserve supplies also require a large amount of funds to constantly replace them.
In this case, one’s own deficit will only grow worse.
If you don’t hurry up and find a way to get some money,
It will later become very passive.
So, he said to Charlie, “There is an oil field more than 40 kilometers away from me.”
“Which has been controlled by the opposition.”
“It can produce about five to six thousand barrels of oil per day.”
“This is the oil field closest to me.”
“In addition, within a radius of 100 kilometers,”
“There are three or four oil fields, all controlled by the opposition.”
Charlie calculated the score and said:
“Five to six thousand barrels a day, that year would be two million barrels,”
“About two to three hundred thousand tons,”
“Which is equivalent to an annual output value of more than one hundred million U.S. dollars.”
“Excluding various costs, the net profit shouldn’t be a big problem to make tens of millions.”
After saying that, he warned again:
“Brother, you have been talking to the core members of the opposition recently.”
“And you have a showdown with them directly.”
“Just say that they must give you a certain amount of compensation for this matter.”
“If he asks you what kind of compensation you want, just tell him that you want the oil field closest to you.”
“If they give you the oil field and all of them are at peace,”
“You are still a nominal part of them.”
“And foreign enemies appear, you will fight alongside them.”
“If they don’t give it, you don’t need to say any nonsense.”
“Just lead your troops to attack all the other oil fields within a 100-kilometer radius except this oil field!”
“How to beat up, brother?”
Hamid exclaimed, “Have you directly led the troops to fight over?”
“Right!”
