Rebirth of Military Workers

Chapter 880

Xie Kai didn’t have much contact with the mercenary group.

The development direction of mercenaries was determined by him alone, and Liao Dong is not a person who has personal desire to express himself.

The Chinese people these years are far from being poisoned by individual heroism in American movies, and they will not seek to save the world by any individual. Teamwork is the opportunity for development.

Therefore, the mercenary regiment has been developing very smoothly so far.

Xie Kai doesn’t worry about foreign affairs. Now he just wants to rush to get the Iraqis settled. In the past few days, he has paid little attention to the economic situation in Europe and the United States.

The farther behind, the more impatient he is.

Even if he knows that the US stock market crash in 1987 will only happen in October, and now in August, there are still two full months, but the later, the greater the pressure on him.

Fortunately, the stock markets of various countries that had been soaring all the way have already begun to fall, and those that have not fallen can also not rise.

Otherwise, Xie Kai really can’t hold it.

300 million dollars.

“The Iraqi contract is ready. Xie Kai, Director Wang, they are worried about whether the Iraqis can afford it under the current situation.” Mo Qi saw Xie Kai rubbing his forehead and sighed. He didn’t want to disturb him.

But for cooperation projects with Iraqis, contracts must be signed as soon as possible.

The Iraqis are waiting, and Wang Guilin and others are also waiting.

“Is there a problem?” Xie Kai turned to look at Mo Qi, “Isn’t it all done?”

“They demanded payment in accordance with the total contract value. 100 Feidun-359, with a total contract price of US$960 million; 120 Super-7A plus 120 spare engines, US$1.4 billion, plus US$200 million of graphite bombs and electromagnetic Bombs, etc., there is also a $80 million aircraft engine overhaul line…” Mozi reported the total amount of the entire contract, “Excluding the supporting equipment for the fighter assembly production line, the total contract value is 2.44 billion US dollars.”

“No problem.” Xie Kai puzzled.

“Iraqis are only willing to pay an advance payment of 500 million US dollars in advance, and the remaining 20% ​​of the advance payment will be paid with oil…”

“Too much!” Xie Kai patted the table and stood up.

No wonder Mo Qi came to find himself again.

Do the Iraqis not follow the talk and do not want to cooperate?

“Not only do they want to pay with oil, but we also have to transport it out of Iraq ourselves!” Mo Qi was afraid of Xie Kai angrily.

Not to mention, it is absolutely impossible.

“They did a good job with this abacus. The Persian Gulf is now expanding the attack on ships. The Persians have begun to mine the waterways in the blind area and block the Persian Gulf!” Xie Kai was almost amused.

How can the Iraqis do so?

The oil tankers they transported are now more and more sunk. Not only are the Persians attacking the oil tankers of various countries, but even Iraq is also frantically attacking oil tankers and cargo ships of various countries.

Ibrahim, the bastard, has a good calculation.

“How did Uncle Wang think about it?” Xie Kai suppressed his anger, and asked Wang Guilin what their attitude was.

Mozi said, “Uncle Wang and the others are a bit entangled. The price per barrel of oil in Iraq is much lower than in the international market.”

Xie Kai’s thoughts changed, the Iraqi’s offer should have caused Wang Guilin and others to entangle.

This profit will never be too low.

“How many?”

“The FOB price per barrel is US$17, and the international crude oil price is now fluctuating between US$42 and US$44. If we transport it ourselves, we can double the profit regardless of the cost.” Mozi said.

The price is high.

Xie Kai instantly realized that the opportunity to make a fortune was coming.

The relationship between China and Persia is not bad. They 404 have a weapon deal with each other. If they attack a Chinese cargo ship, they will directly seek compensation from the Persians.

“Uncle Wang have ideas? There are not a few large oil tankers in our country.”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

There are fewer and fewer oil tankers coming out of the Persian Gulf. Even if they only ship oil to Singapore, they can make a profit of more than $10 per barrel, which is already very good.

According to the entire contract, US$2.44 billion and an advance payment of 40%, Iraq is only willing to pay US$500 million in cash, and the price paid for oil will be as high as US$496 million, which will be tens of millions of barrels of oil, and the profit can reach nearly 500 million dollars.

That’s pure profit.

Who can not be tempted?

“Oil tankers are trying to find a way. The situation in the Persian Gulf now is that large oil tankers have to leave their posts cautiously. Many large oil tankers even dare not enter the Persian Gulf.” Mo Qi introduced the situation.

“How many barrels of oil are the Iraqis planning to provide for payment?” Xie Kai is very concerned about this.

The southern region is at the core of the battle between the two sides.

Iraq’s access to the sea is narrow. Although it can be shipped via Kuwait’s oil pipeline, Iraq’s daily oil production is low.

And they are all transported to Turkey through domestic oil pipelines, and then exported from Turkey.

“I haven’t talked about it. It’s not yet certain whether or not to agree to this payment method.” Mozi said. “Director Zheng is here too.”

The extra profit of 500 million US dollars will definitely allow Zheng Yucheng to get up here.

You can let go of any work at hand.

Xie Kai didn’t care about studying the information that Mo Qi had collected for him. If Iraqis could provide millions of barrels of crude oil a day, it would take more than a month to get the money back.

In any case, the oil had to be shipped out before the U.S. stock market crash.

There are still two months, the possibility is not impossible.

Otherwise, the stock market crash will hurt the global economy, which will cause oil prices to fall sharply.

It has been a long time since the world has maintained high oil prices.

“This is too much. All the oil tankers in our country have been mobilized, and they can’t be transported much.” Zheng Yucheng was very distressed.

I saw a piece of fat, but couldn’t eat it.

“Don’t stare at our oil tankers. There are many giant oil tankers in the Arabian Sea outside the Persian Gulf.” Before huge profits, Wang Guilin felt that the risk was worth taking.

This is not illegal.

Although the Iraqis’ crude oil production is not low, it can only be transported from Turkey through oil pipelines.

The Persians continued to bomb the oil fields of the Iraqis and at the same time bombed the ports. Nowadays, very little oil is shipped from Iraqi seaports.

“Xie Kai, what do you think of this?” Zheng Yucheng asked Xie Kai without saying a word.

“What I want to know is how many barrels of crude oil they can provide us with every day. In addition, the price is too high.” The departure price is not the CIF price.

In the Persian Gulf, the attack on ships will become more and more serious. It is precisely because they cannot be shipped, the international oil price will be so high.

“Isn’t the price high?” Zheng Yucheng felt that the price was really not high.

International crude oil prices are more than 40 US dollars a barrel.

The Iraqis offered $17, which is already very low.

“It must be or less. Many of their refineries have restored their oil production capacity, but they are unable to transport it.” Xie Kai knows why Iraq wants to pay for it with oil. “There is no at least twice the profit. Once the Persians sink a tens of thousands of tons of oil tanker, the loss is not small.”

What’s more, these oil productions are outside the quotas given by OPEC.

“It’s hard.”

The international crude oil price is more than 40. The Iraqis proposed that the settlement price is only US$17. Now Xie Kai has to press it to US$12. Both Zheng Yucheng and Wang Guilin feel that Xie Kai is a bit greedy.

“It’s not difficult. I’ll talk to them, and if we give it this price, we will accept it, otherwise, all the cash.” Xie Kai thought about it. “This matter can only be done for a month or two. Put the money in our hands as soon as possible.”

In two months, more than 30 million barrels of crude oil were shipped from the Persian Gulf, and an average of at least 500,000 barrels of crude oil must be shipped out every day. Otherwise, the US stock market crash would cause a sharp drop in crude oil.

“How? We don’t have many tankers.”

“Sell the crude oil to Singaporeans. They are making money now.” Xie Kai was already thinking about it when he saw a profit at the beginning.

Following Rotterdam in the Netherlands and New York in the United States, Singapore has become the world’s third largest oil refining center.

Even if Jurong Island, which later occupied 25% of the country’s refining capacity, has not been reclaimed from the sea, its daily crude oil refining capacity exceeds 2 million barrels, and the oil transported back through the Red Sea cannot meet their domestic needs.

“How to solve transportation?”

“Look for a transportation company over there in Singapore. At least 500,000 barrels have to be transported every day. Even so, the previous month basically just earned back our principal.” Xie Kai explained, “What is the transportation cost? , All have to be deducted, and for such a large quantity, if it is not lower than the international market price, we can’t sell it at all. The journey from the Persian Gulf to Japan or South Korea may be too long.”

“Going to Singapore again?”

“Not only to go to Singapore, but also to Iraq and Persia.” Xie Kai said.

In the whole process, the most important thing is the Persian side.

If they attack a Chinese oil tanker, this is really not a problem.

If the oil cannot be shipped out, it’s all in vain.

“There is a war over there, and you…” Wang Guilin was a little worried.

For this matter, Xie Kai really needs to go.

“Allah!” Xie Kai looked at Wang Guilin’s worried eyes, “This time you find someone to arrange the itinerary, but you can’t interfere with my contact with each other.”

Xie Kai didn’t actually say that the Iraqis did not agree to the price, and the two parties could not reach an agreement. It was all in vain.

“10 dollars a barrel?” Ibrahim took out his ears with his little fingers, “Xie Kai, are you kidding? How much is a barrel of international crude oil, do you know?”

This low price makes them unable to even get angry.

“It’s because of understanding that I proposed this price.” Xie Kai didn’t care about Ibrahim’s attitude. “You know better than who is the situation in the Persian Gulf. Once you end the war, the international crude oil price will drop immediately. …”

“But your price is too low, apart from the cost, we don’t have much profit.” Ibrahim felt that Xie Kai had no sincerity.

In the case of high international prices, they actually gave a low price of 10 dollars a barrel, which is lower than they did before the war with the Persians.
