I, the savior of the earth
Page 55
These big dogs just sit back and enjoy their success, without doing anything, they can get a small half of the world's wealth.
Dashiguo is the leader of these big dogs.
In the past two days, Qin State needed to hoard a large amount of resources to prepare for the alien invasion, and placed a large oil order for the big dogs.
The international oil price was suddenly raised to an astonishing level!
Chapter 98
It used to be $36 a barrel of oil.
And now, due to the large number of orders from Qin State, the international oil price has soared to 50 US dollars a barrel.
Such a terrifying rate of price increase, under normal circumstances, Qin would definitely not buy it.$50 a barrel of oil is clearly a rip off!
But now Qin Guo actually accepts that.
The reason is simple. If aliens invade the earth, the logistics of the earth will be greatly damaged.
Moreover, although those big dog countries are rich, their national defense strength is not worth mentioning, and they are likely to perish directly under the attack of aliens.
At that time, if you want to buy oil, there will be no place to buy it, so it is necessary to reserve a large amount of oil in advance for emergencies.
Furthermore, once aliens invade the earth, the U.S. dollar will become a pile of waste paper from an international currency, and Qin's large amount of foreign exchange reserves has no meaning for existence, so it is better to spend it first.
So Qin State accepted the oil price of 50 US dollars a barrel, and placed massive orders to all oil countries.
It stands to reason that such a high oil price is enough for these oil countries to make a lot of money, but the greed of the people is endless, and the big dogs don't know how to write the word contentment.
Seeing that Qin State is so eager for oil, many big dogs feel that raising the price of oil to $50 a barrel is not enough.They can earn more dollars from Qin Guo.
Many big dog owners have this kind of greedy idea, so they decided to sit on the ground and raise the price.
And the leader of this incident is the boss of the entire oil dog country, the chief of the big food country, Apu III.
The capital of the Great Food Kingdom, the city of New Babylon.
In the majestic palace, the giants of the oil-producing countries gathered together.
"The State of Qin really believed in the rumors that aliens were going to invade the earth, and began to hoard a large amount of resources, and oil is the most important thing." Apu III glanced at the giants of the oil-producing countries, "International oil prices are now 50 A bucket of dollars, what do you think about that?"
"I think $50 a barrel is still too cheap, not enough!" said the Saudi chief.
"Yeah, it's only 50 dollars a barrel, which is too much for Qin to take advantage of!"
"According to commercial principles, monopolies have pricing power, and all of our countries together can monopolize the earth's oil. Oil prices have to go up!"
The chiefs of the oil-producing countries have echoed.
Ever since they discovered Qin's desire for resources, they have been thinking of raising prices. They have indeed earned a lot, but they still want to earn more!
Even if they have already signed a contract with Qin, they still have to take the initiative to tear up the contract and raise the price on the ground.
"It seems that everyone's opinion is the same." Apu III was overjoyed, "How much do you think the price of oil should be raised to?"
If only Apu III's family wants to increase the price, it will be difficult to negotiate with Qin Guo.
But now all oil-producing countries are willing to raise prices. If they unite, they will be a strong party, and it will be easy to force Qin to bow its head.
"Sixty dollars!"
"Seventy dollars!"
"Ninety dollars!"
"Hundred dollars!"
All the chiefs showed greedy eyes, vividly explaining what it means for a lion to open its mouth wide.
If the price of a barrel of oil rises by ten dollars, they alone can earn an extra $100 billion!
This is not a small amount, they are naturally crazy!
However, they also knew that although Qin State looked a little taken advantage of, he was not really taken advantage of. If the unrestricted lion opened his mouth, Qin State would definitely not agree.
The price increase has to be just right.
Finally, after their deliberations, a preliminary consensus was reached.
"The price of oil is US$100 a barrel, and our bottom line is US$70 a barrel, and the price must be increased by at least US$20 per barrel." Apu finally announced the resolution, "Let's talk to the Ministry of Commerce of Qin State together, now it's a seller's market , I believe they will compromise!"
After everything was agreed upon, the giants of the oil-producing countries summoned a delegation from the Ministry of Commerce of Qin State in the city of New Babylon.
The delegation of the Ministry of Commerce of the State of Qin is the real high-level officials of the State of Qin this time, and the leader is Lin Fei, Minister of the Ministry of Commerce of the State of Qin.Such a lineup also shows that Qin State attaches great importance to this business.
As soon as Lin Fei entered the palace, he saw that almost all the giants from oil-producing countries were there, and he knew that something big must have happened.
"I don't know why the chief suddenly summoned us, what's your business?" Lin Fei asked politely.
Apu III said: "Recently, a very unfortunate incident happened in several of our countries."
Lin Fei asked: "But I don't know what happened in your country?"
Apu III didn't blink his eyes, and lied directly: "The oil production bases of our countries have all been attacked by terrorists, and the losses have been heavy!"
"Ah—" Lin Fei pretended to be surprised, but in fact he didn't believe it at all, but said, "There is no such news in the international news!"
Apu III continued to lie and said: "Because this matter is too embarrassing, several of our countries decided to conceal it, so we did not report it to the international community. On the other hand, we do not want this matter to cause huge fluctuations in international oil prices."
Apu III looks like he has the world in his heart.
Lin Fei instantly understood the meaning of Apu III and the others, pretended to be confused, and said: "I express my deep condolences and sincere condolences for the misfortune that happened to your country, and hope that your country can recover from the pain as soon as possible. "
Seeing Lin Fei and himself pretending to be confused and only speaking in official language, Apu III became impatient and decided to speak out directly.
"Because of this incident, our oil production has been affected, and the cost has been greatly increased, so the oil price of 50 US dollars a barrel can no longer be maintained." Apu III sees it.
"Then what are you going to do?" Lin Fei felt helpless.These big dogs are so short-sighted, and they don't hesitate to offend Qin for money.
But they don't know that once aliens invade, Qin will be the mainstay of mankind, and most countries will have to rely on Qin in the future.It is really unwise for them to offend Qin for such a small profit.
"Although it's a pity, we can only increase the price." Apu III said with a little embarrassment.
"Yeah, if we don't raise the price, our life will be difficult!"
"Now that the US dollar has depreciated, the oil price of 50 US dollars a barrel cannot support our lives!"
"If this continues, our countries will only be able to drink northwest wind in the desert."
All the chiefs poured bitter water on Lin Fei one after another, as if their lives were already beyond their reach.If it wasn't for Lin Fei's startled glance and seeing that the Rolex they wore on average was so boring that it could cover his ten-year salary, Lin Fei would have almost believed their nonsense.
$50 a barrel of oil, they will lose money?Will life be difficult?I am afraid that even a three-year-old child cannot be fooled by such words.
Chapter 99 Asking for Instructions, Su Mu’s Opinion
We must know that oil-producing countries in Central Asia are not the only oil-producing countries in the world.
However, these oil-producing countries in Central Asia have unique conditions, so they monopolize the world's oil trade.
First of all, their mining costs are too low. Their oil is buried under very shallow sand, and they can be dug out as soon as they are dug.
So they only need nine dollars to extract a barrel of oil.
Although the country of Luo is also a big oil-producing country, the cost of a barrel of oil is close to [-] US dollars.
Zhao Guo's recent shale oil technology costs even more, approaching [-] US dollars.
In terms of mining costs, big dogs have the greatest advantage.
In addition, some countries in South America also produce oil, but South America is far away from the world island, isolated overseas, and the transportation cannot conveniently link major industrial countries.
The only industrial country in South America that is close is Zhao Guo, but Zhao Guo itself is one of the largest oil-producing countries in the world and does not need to import oil.
Therefore, although South America has oil, it is only supplementary and cannot become the mainstream of world oil trade.
The Central Asian region where the big dog family is located is precisely the core area of the World Island, linking the Eurasian continent, passing through the Strait of Malacca, and directly reaching the country of Zhao.
Such convenient transportation, coupled with low cost, has created the monopoly position of the big dogs in the oil industry.
$50 a barrel will lose?With their unique conditions, a bucket of $20 is a big profit, and $50 is a big profit!
If 50 dollars is really not enough for their cost, then when the international oil price is 36 dollars, wouldn't they have gone bankrupt and begged for food?
But the reality is that when the oil price was 36 dollars, they still enjoyed the food and drink, scattered money everywhere, and had a good time. They never saw a little bit of embarrassment, but they were rich and powerful.
It can only be said that these countries are unsatisfactory and only want to make more money.
Lin Fei was very angry in his heart, but he could only remain polite and said, "We have already signed the contract."
Apu III said: "At this time, at that time, when we signed the contract, nothing like this happened."
Lin Fei said: "So are you planning to reject the contract?"
Apu III said: "We really hope to cooperate with Qin, but Qin must give us a satisfactory price, otherwise..."
Apu III did not continue his words, but the meaning was already obvious.
"Otherwise, what will happen?" Lin Fei asked holding back his anger.
"Otherwise, the Central Asian oil-producing countries will not have a drop of oil flowing to Qin!" Apu III said lightly.
Threat!
Naked threats!
But such threats are very effective.Qin is in urgent need of a large amount of oil, and in a short period of time, only Central Asian oil-producing countries can provide so much oil.
Once they don't provide it, Lin Fei will not be able to complete the foreign trade mission assigned to him by the state.This foreign trade task is related to the country's major policies. If Lin Fei fails to complete the task, Lin Fei will become a sinner of Qin.
So even though Lin Fei wanted to point at Apu III's nose and call you a bastard, Lin Fei couldn't, he had to restrain his temper.
"I see. You are determined to increase the price. How much do you plan to increase?" Lin Fei said.
"One hundred dollars a barrel!" Apu III demanded a lot.
"What?!" Lin Fei was dumbfounded, "Did I hear you right?"
One hundred dollars a barrel, that's double the price!
This is more than just a lion's big mouth, this is simply blinded by greed and madness!
If Lin Fei really agreed to this condition, Qin would have to pay hundreds of billions of dollars more.Although Qin's foreign exchange reserves are abundant, they are not so wasteful!
"Our Qin country's money didn't come from strong winds, one hundred dollars, it's impossible!" Lin Fei flatly refused.
"There is no room for negotiation?"
"It's not negotiable."
"Then we can give in, how about $95?"
"It's not good, your asking price is too exaggerated."
"Then how much do you want?"
"$55."
"Are you dreaming?"
Lin Fei and the other party began to quarrel fiercely, and both sides' tongues were worn out, and finally discussed the price of seventy dollars a barrel.
Lin Fei also knew that seventy dollars a barrel was the bottom line for these countries.
Although this is not as exaggerated as a hundred dollars, it is already very scary.
Historically, international oil prices have never been exaggerated to such an extent. This is simply slaughtering Qin as a pig.
"I have to ask the high-level officials of our country for instructions." Lin Fei said, "This matter is too big, and I can't decide on my own."
"Go." Apu III showed a victorious smile, "I believe that the high-level officials of your country will give in, because I can see your Qin State's desire for oil. I guess, your Qin State is going to war ?Ha ha……"
Lin Fei left temporarily with a dark face.
……
Qin State.
Su Mu was instructing Xiao to organize everyone to practice, and suddenly received a notice from the king and other high-level officials, saying that there was an important matter and Su Mu's opinion needed to be consulted.
As Su Mu's achievements became greater and his performance became more and more reliable, Su Mu's position as a national appraiser has gradually been recognized by the senior management.
Therefore, whenever there is any major movement in the country, high-level officials have to consult Su Mu's opinion, which is also one of the tasks of Jian Guoshi.
The job of Jian Guoshi is to check for leaks and fill vacancies for the country's high-level officials, and to put forward his own constructive opinions on the country's major politics.
Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish.
A country master is like a gourmet, appraising the effectiveness of the ruler's governance, and making suggestions to make the other party improve.
