Chapter 778
The narrow sea area between northeastern Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. The area is about 450,000 square kilometers. The Red Sea extends southeast from Suez, Egypt to the Mande Strait, about 2,100 kilometers long. The Mande Strait connects the Gulf of Aden and then leads to the Arabian Sea. The widest part of the Red Sea is 306 kilometers. Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia, Saudi Arabia, the east coast, and Yemen opposite each other across the sea. At the northern end, the Red Sea is divided into two parts: the northwest is the shallow Gulf of Suez, and the northeast is the Gulf of Aqaba, with a water depth of 1,676 meters.
The Red Sea is located between the northeastern Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. It has a narrow shape, with a length of more than 1,900 kilometers from northwest to southeast, with a maximum width of 306 kilometers and an area of 450,000 square kilometers. The northern end of the Red Sea forks into two small coves, the Gulf of Suez in the west, and is connected to the Mediterranean Sea through the Suez Canal running through the Isthmus of Suez; the Gulf of Aqaba in the east. The Gulf of Aden is connected to the south through the Mande Strait and the Indian Ocean. It is an important channel connecting the Mediterranean Sea and the Arabian Sea. It is an important oil transportation channel. It has strategic value.
Lin Yu is not familiar with the Red Sea, nor can he be said to be unfamiliar with the Red Sea. It should be said that Lin Yu has no research on these geographical locations. If Lin Yu had not been very energetic in this life, he would not even know that Kuwait belongs to Asia.
"Over the other side of this place are Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia and other countries in Africa. It is an important channel connecting the Mediterranean Sea and the Arabian Sea. There are many boats passing here every year." Yang Zhigang sighed and said, "Mr. Lin, you came at the right time. Now it is a good time to dive. November is the most suitable time for diving here. Not only is the weather cool, but the visibility in the sea is also high. The wind and waves in the sea are relatively large, so it is not very suitable for diving. The Red Sea has the most beautiful corals in the world, colorful fish and various rare marine life."
It is necessary to participate in water-friendly activities such as sightseeing, diving, fishing, and sea sightseeing. The waves and sand along the Red Sea are soft and the waves are calm. It is an excellent place for water leisure sports. Coastal cities such as Hurghada and Sharm El Sheikh have many excellent beach beaches and sea amusement venues. In addition, the Red Sea has many beautiful corals, colorful fish and various rare marine life. It has rich sea resources, clear sea water and high visibility. It is one of the most suitable places for diving sports in the world.
The best time to travel to cities along the Red Sea coast such as Hurghada and Sharm El Sheikh is from October to May of the following year. This is the most suitable time to dive in the Red Sea. The weather is cool, the sea water visibility is high, the water temperature is suitable for diving, and other times the wind and waves are relatively strong and the water is colder. You need to wear a thicker diving suit when diving.
Lin Yu smiled. Before coming to Saudi Arabia, he also knew that the Red Sea had many well-known tourist areas, famous for its shining beaches, beautiful coral sea, rich marine life and first-class hotels. It is a paradise for Europeans to take vacations, and it is especially suitable for water sports. Moreover, it has sea water and black mud beaches with high salt content, which can treat rheumatism and skin diseases. It is one of the most suitable resorts for recuperation and vacation in the world. However, he did not have so much time to stay here.
There are still a lot of oil futures contracts in Hong Kong. There are a lot of things waiting for me in China. Cameron is urging me to go to the United States again and to meet a few people in Europe. It is almost the end of the year again, and all these things need to be decided by themselves, so there is no extra time to spend here.
Several people found a place by the beach, set up sun umbrellas, set up beach chairs, and after breakfast, they lay on the chair, enjoying the cool sea breeze in the morning. Lin Yu couldn't help but feel a little sleepy again, and just lay on the beach chair and fell asleep.
When he woke up again, the sun was almost rising to mid-air, but there was one more person on the side. It was Dudley!
Yesterday, as soon as Dudley returned to the hotel, he didn't have time to rest and immediately contacted the headquarters of Fudi Petroleum Holdings and reported his guess to the headquarters. The headquarters attached great importance to his news and gave him authorization. He represented Fudi Petroleum Holdings to negotiate with Lin Yu, and it would be best to buy all the remaining futures contracts in the other party's hands. Since the contact with the headquarters was already twelve o'clock in the evening, Dudley didn't know if Lin Yu and the others had already rested, so he got up early this morning and drove to the car, fearing that Lin Yu would go out. Who would have thought that when he arrived here, what he saw was Lin Yu sleeping soundly on the beach chair, and Yang Zhigang and a few people were sitting aside and chatting without saying a word.
The bodyguards will never leave Lin Yu's side. Even if Lin Yu is sleeping there, they must ensure that they can rush over immediately when they are in danger.
After looking around, Lin Yu stood up and stretched, saying, "When did Mr. Dudleyway come? Why didn't he call me?"
Dudleyway smiled and said, "Mr. Lin, it's not their fault. I asked them not to wake you up."
Dudley thought about it all night. At this time, when the world's oil prices are still on the upward trend, it is a strong atmosphere for selling. It is not easy to buy an oil futures contract from Lin Yu. Therefore, the most urgent task is to use the help of contacting Prince Abdullah yesterday to establish a good relationship with Lin Yu and the others. This Chinese person pays attention to personal relationships. If you can make friends, it might be easier to deal with. Moreover, Dudley also realized that this person's wealth is probably not comparable to that of him. The Lin Consortium is such a mysterious existence. Even if he is an advisor, he must make more money than he does. He is not qualified to show off his own characteristics in front of others. Therefore, Dudley has put his attitude very low this time.
Lin Yu moved his body and looked at his watch. It was already past ten o'clock. He yawned and his eyelids were still a little heavy. Although his soul was almost fifty years old, this body was a young man. Moreover, Lin Yu liked to take a nap when he was fine. In addition, he was very busy in Saudi Arabia these two days, so he didn't have enough rest.
"Mr. Lin, coffee, black tea, or juice? Mr. Dudleyway, but I have been waiting here for nearly two hours." Yang Zhigang asked with a smile.
Following Mr. Lin, it was indeed extraordinary. Now even the Arab prince's ride and villa have enjoyed it, just having a tea on the beach, and there are people serving him.
Lin Yu shook his head and waved his hand at Yang Zhigang, and then he came to his senses completely. He looked at Dudleyway. The ancestors of China said that they would be diligent in their hearts for nothing, either traitors or robbers. Dudleyway waited here for nearly two hours, but he still didn't let Yang Zhigang wake him up. Eighty percent of the time he had to use him. Thinking of him as the representative of the British Fudi Petroleum Holdings Company in Kuwait, An Mingyuan had already felt a little clear about it, and Eighty percent of it came for oil.
But this is good. The world's oil prices have gradually begun to stabilize. Even if the United States officially launches military force against Iraq, it will rise once. However, it will never cause a rapid increase in world oil prices like Iraq's entry into Kuwait. Moreover, Lin Yu remembers it very clearly that in his previous life, in about a period of time, other oil-producing countries organized by the OPEC will increase production, and the United States will also use oil reserves to suppress oil prices. The possibility of oil prices rising to more than 50 US dollars is almost negligible. These oil futures contracts are held in their hands and the possibility of greater benefits is not high, and they will bear the risk of downward fluctuations in oil prices.
However, even if you want to suppress oil prices, these oil tycoons will definitely notify them. If you don’t notify them, you will suppress oil prices or raise oil prices without authorization. Not to mention these oil tycoons, even Rockefeller and Morgan will not provoke them like this.
Although Lin Yu has hardly attended such a meeting, he still has to keep his face.
However, this time, Lin Yu made a lot of money in the futures market, at least adding tens of billions of dollars to himself. You should know that Lin Yu's industry can increase tens of billions of dollars a year, but this time it directly increased by tens of billions, which can be said to be a rapid growth.
In addition, those speculative funds from Europe and the United States, which one is not counted in hundreds of billions of dollars, can even disrupt a country's normal financial market.
However, Lin Yu is not short of oil. His own oil field can now produce a lot of oil every year. However, most of these crude oils are sold to China at the international price of crude oil in exchange for the Lin Group's position in the Chinese political arena.
Therefore, Lin Yu is not short of oil. If there is a suitable price, it is not bad to sell these futures contracts.
However, the British have always been very cunning in the business field, and it is not so easy to take advantage of them. Judging from the news we learned yesterday, although Fudi Oil Holdings is not a top oil company in the UK, it is also quite large in scale. From the fact that it imports millions of tons of oil from Kuwait every year, it can be seen that it is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp to be sent to Kuwait in such a large company.
"During the hasty leave yesterday, I didn't have time to thank Mr. Dudleyway. Thanks to your help, I successfully completed the mission to Saudi Arabia this time." Lin Yu smiled and took the coffee pot from the servant beside him, helping Dudleyway fill the coffee.
"Mr. Lin is so polite. My Fudi Petroleum Holdings Company has a lot of business dealings with Lin Shipping Group and is a commercial partner. It is a great honor to be able to help Lin Consortium and Mr. Lin this time." Dudleyway said sincerely, "I am also very happy to learn that Mr. Lin and Lin Consortium have successfully achieved their goals."
