Chapter 387 Crude Oil Price Rise
Since 99, Uncle Sun has secretly hoarded crude oil with Xu Fei.
Now that three years have passed, the amount of crude oil accumulated is very considerable.
But recently, the board of directors had to pay attention to the issue of loan repayment.
Originally, the loans in November and December 01 were overdue, and everyone didn't feel much.
After transferring the Bashu-Sologou gold mine and repaying someone's installment loan and liquidated damages, 02 will be ushered in in the blink of an eye, and the principal and interest for January will have to be prepared.
And transfer several coal mines and highway toll projects, get the loan in January, the Spring Festival is far away, now it is February 1, and in another week, the bill for February will still be considered.
Moreover, while repaying the loan, borrowing at the same time, wait until March, including the customization costs of the M3/M2 Bradley Fighting Vehicle production line, the Red 3 fighter jet production line, and the Himalayan project, which accounts for 1% of the shares, the future loan interest will be higher.
The board of directors discussed for a long time and decided to throw away the troublesome crude oil storage to reduce the pressure on repayment.
Logically speaking, these crude oils are not stocks or futures. If you want to sell them, you have to find a buyer in advance, and then discuss transportation and other issues.
Coincidentally, the 'Bingxiong → Nanbangzi' gas pipeline taken over by Daze Construction Engineering was completed, and Cui Dayong of KS Group visited Dongfang to discuss issues of natural gas investment and natural gas import and export.
Therefore, the board of directors led CNOOC to reach an agreement with KS Group. First, a batch of crude oil was exchanged for the three-year gas supply in the northern region, and then the price of 20 dollars lower than the market price, about 265 dollars per barrel, was sold to North Industries. All the crude oil in hand was exchanged for 2000 billion U.S. dollars and 49% of KS Group's shares in the Eastern Branch.
Earning must be earning. In 99, I purchased crude oil with the adults, and the price was only 14 dollars/barrel. The total cost was less than 160 billion dollars.
If there was no foreign exchange at that time, and due to OPEC production cuts and various wars during the period, our camp could not buy crude oil, maybe we could earn more this year.
The deputy director secretly sighed "I lost my life, but I gained it", and was extremely satisfied with Mr. He.
But this kind of satisfaction can't be shown, otherwise it will be troublesome to turn your nose into Dorgon with an adult.
"Comrade Xu, do you have any other questions?"
"Leader, you are so confused!"
Xu Fei knew that Uncle Sun was hoarding crude oil with him, so it must be a good thing to throw it away now, otherwise Iron Sheet Energy and TEP Energy would dump a large amount of crude oil in their hands, and the world crude oil price would plummet, and our camp would definitely suffer huge losses.
But follow orders in all actions, dare to act privately without nodding to the adults, you must educate the board of directors, and let the board of directors know that in terms of business, following the adults is the right way.
When the deputy director heard the words 'confused', his heart skipped a beat, "How do you say it?"
"Sold early!"
"Ok?"
"Don't you know that North America attacked two giant freighters in North Germany, which blocked the Maliu waterway?"
"I haven't heard of it."
"Also, recently, used car dealers in Jamaica dumped used cars to the west coast of North America in order to get subsidies for scrapped vehicles in North America. Two freighters transporting vehicles accidentally rear-ended in the Panama Canal, crashed the engine, and blocked Panama. channel."
"I haven't heard of this either."
"Isn't your news too well-informed? Wait a minute, at eight o'clock tonight, in the morning of North America, the news will definitely come."
The deputy director understood that the price of crude oil will skyrocket soon.
But not everyone dares to earn this kind of money.
However, when he rejoiced that his camp had cast it early and avoided helping Mr. He to take the blame, he only listened to Mr. He continue:
"Leader, you still don't understand. When the price of crude oil soars, if you hand over the crude oil to the Iron Sheet Company, won't there be more debts that can be deducted?"
"???"
"Confused!"
"..."
"Confused!"
"..."
"Why did I do everything possible to get my own camp to borrow money, isn't it just to take advantage of the skyrocketing crude oil and wipe out the debts my camp owes Germany at once? It's all right now, and my god-level operation for so long was wasted in vain."
"..."
Seeing that the deputy director continued to remain silent, Xu Fei was worried that his immediate boss would be too sick, so he quit immediately, "In the future, in terms of international trade, we must follow orders in all actions, and the overall situation is the most important thing!"
"..."
"Well, leader, you are very busy, so I won't bother you."
Xu Fei coughed and quickly hung up the phone.
With this lesson learned, it is estimated that the board of directors will consult us about foreign trade in the future.
Invisibly, the status of He and the adults rose several heights again.
"Ah bah, I'm not Mr. He, I'm Zheng Chenggong!"
Xu Fei said to himself, put away the communicator, and looked at the world map.
The Malayalam Canal is blocked, the Panama waterway is blocked, and the Pacific Rim is equivalent to losing foreign trade channels.
Some countries without resources and crude oil, considering the complex international environment, are bound to buy crude oil everywhere for emergency needs.
Now the board of directors has sold its own crude oil to KS Group, and Nanbangzi's demand is saturated.
Then, I can only talk to Wajima.
The problem is, I borrowed 2000 billion US dollars from others before, and sold tens of millions of tons of grain to others at a high price, and now I have to sell crude oil to others...
"The wool can't be picked up by one, otherwise it will be bald."
After Xu Fei finished speaking, the image of the person in charge of the Japanese island council appeared in his mind, "It seems that the other party has been bald by North America."
Then make a phone call.
"Xu Sang, happy Lantern Festival."
He Daren is well-known all over the world. As early as during the Spring Festival, influential people from all over the world have already called He Daren to congratulate him.
Xu Fei had nothing to discuss with the other party, so he cut to the chase and said, "I have a batch of crude oil here. I wonder if there is any demand from Wa Island?"
"Xu Sang, what's the price?"
"320 dollars/barrel."
"Hiss... so expensive?!"
"The Libyan war broke out, and the demand for crude oil in the world increased. What's more unfortunate, North America attacked two giant freighters in North Germany, which blocked the Maldives [-] waterway. Two freighters from a Jamaican second-hand car dealer rear-ended, causing Panama to be blocked."
"Xu Sang, this price is really ridiculously high, please allow us to study it seriously."
"Not in a hurry."
North American fuel reserves can support 150, but Wajima fuel reserves can support 190 days.
This is closely related to its strategic location, including Nanbangzi.
Only when Wajima's fuel reserves decline sharply, and even North America feels dangerous, Wajima will purchase crude oil on a large scale.
Therefore, my next task is to wait.
Unless an earthquake and tsunami erupted on Wajima, or a volcanic eruption accidentally flooded the place where the fuel was stored.
Xu Fei put down the communicator and stared at the world map in a daze for a long time. After recovering, he picked up a pen and made a plan after selling crude oil.
The U.S. dollar is linked to crude oil. This link does not mean that the U.S. dollar is directly proportional or inversely proportional to the value of oil, but that the international crude oil trade must be settled in U.S. dollars. On the contrary, holding U.S. dollars is equivalent to holding crude oil.
In this way, the U.S. knife and crude oil are equated, and North America no longer has to worry about military expenditures, no money to buy crude oil, and no need to worry about inflation caused by excessive currency issuance.
Therefore, once North America encounters economic problems, it will send troops to countries with crude oil.
In other words, the more crude oil held in North America, the less depreciated the super-issued U.S. dollars will be, because the world needs crude oil, and naturally it also needs U.S. dollars.
Then, the sale of crude oil by Tinhide Energy seems to have boosted the US dollar, but the opposite will happen when the supply exceeds the demand, and no one in the world needs crude oil anymore, so naturally there is no need for the US dollar.
At this time, US knives are oversold, US knives depreciate, and the purchasing power of US knives declines.
Therefore, after selling crude oil, the Daze Industrial Complex will raise prices for all products exported to North America.
An increase of at least 20%.
In other words, the monthly income of North American people is $2000, of which $1000 is used for fuel expenses and $1000 is used for living expenses.
With crude oil plummeting, people in North America only need to pay $800 for fuel. If the living expenses are still $1000, wouldn’t the standard of living be better than their own?
Therefore, the living expenses have to rise to 1200 US dollars to maintain the gap between the two sides.
Of course, economics is not that simple. Who knows what chain reaction will happen if crude oil is thrown away.
This is just the expected goal of Director Xu.
Prices in North America rose by 10%, while the prices of our own camp remained unchanged. In addition, our camp accelerated the promotion of employment, so that everyone can enjoy the 'time dividend'.
After Xu Fei briefly summarized his ideas, he sent them to the Military Advisory Group, and asked them to work out a more detailed implementation plan with the operation center.
Then, looking at the dark sky, he left the village chief's house and came to the Xujia Village Square.
Daze Industrial Park implements rotations this year. Many employees take advantage of the off-duty time to travel to various factories and transport the goods directly supplied by the manufacturers back to their hometowns in batches with the help of Kirov airships.
There are no middlemen "supply and marketing cooperatives" and "consignment stores" to make the difference, and the employees have made a lot of money again this year.
As the Lantern Festival approached, the busy days gradually faded away, and everyone returned to Daze Industrial Park one after another, and began to prepare lanterns, floats and other celebration paraphernalia.
Affected by the expansion of Central Street, this year’s celebration moved from the south gate of Dongchang, which used to be the South Gate Square of Daze Power, to the auxiliary roads and sidewalks on both sides of Central Street, and extended eastward to Huangnigang Cultural Street, to Pass through the upper and lower entrances of the expressway in the west, and go directly to the west gate of Xichang.
The total length is 15 kilometers, or 1.5 meters.
It looks long, it sounds long, and it takes longer to walk.
But a production workshop in Daze is 1000 meters long, plus underground rail cars, and a population of up to one million, such a scale is only a little bit stronger than the National Day.
The area along the road is divided according to the length. For example, the Xujiacun Square section is about 800 meters long. It was contracted by Leizer Technology Group and placed a series of lanterns, floats and LED billboards made of Leizer Technology product models.
On the east side is Lei Xiaze Technology Group, which mainly imitates and is used to carry patent lawsuits.
On the west side is the contracted road section of the Erya Farm, including a pedestrian bridge, which is covered with various lanterns such as big roosters, old hens, little chickens, and big eggs.
further west.
Daze Group, Iron Sheet Company, Hongqi Industry, Leifei Technology, General Electric, General Motors...
further east.
IBM, Hewlett-Packard, Dell, appo mobile phones, Amoi mobile phones...
Looking across the road.
You can also vaguely see oriental-style lanterns made by multinational companies such as Morgan Stanley, Morgan Bank, Carlyle Investments, Bain Capital, Bandai, KS Group, and Old Walker Manor.
And many auto parts cities, parts factories, food factories, etc., and celebration props made by large and medium-sized domestic enterprises.
According to incomplete statistics, the Daze Industrial Research Office and Huangnigang Township Compound jointly initiated this celebration, and Daze organized the celebration spontaneously. About 490 companies with assets exceeding [-] million yuan participated.
There are 31 of the world's top [-] companies.
And there are as many as 6 of the top ten in the world.
Therefore, elites at home and abroad who want to join these companies, and business executives at home and abroad who visit and study, come to join in the fun.
Xu Fei boarded the watchtower in Xujia Village, looked around, and saw the Ferris wheel that looked like a flame wheel. He simply contacted the control department and asked the other party to replace the blessings that were broadcast in turn with the current passenger flow of Daze Industrial Park.
At present, the radar communication integration project in the Daze area has tended to be perfect.
About every 100 square meters, there is a radar module hidden on the roof, or hidden on the top of the bus station.
The radar waves generated by these radars are interspersed with each other, and the signals will be fed back when they touch objects, and the powerful base vehicle will analyze and organize them.
Then, in the computer that comes with the radar module, a 3D-like holographic map will be displayed instead of the previous flat map.
Xu Fei went to the Engineering Academy for the first time and demonstrated this function to seniors, but it is impossible for his own camp to spread radar modules all over the east, so this function is limited to "important areas" or used in the military field.
And with this 'real-time function', as long as the scope of action does not exceed the upper limit of the supercomputer's tolerance, they can know how many 'living people' there are in Daze.
Of course, the small map in the field of view can also display specific values, but the staff does not have a "miniature map of field of view", so they can only use the radar communication integration project to realize statistics.
Soon, the Ferris wheel with halo flow showed the current population of Daze Industrial Park: 297 million.
"It's still too small. As Kitakami Ze Hiroshika, the population should exceed tens of millions."
"How else to build the world's largest underground shelter."
"But in an industrial city, one more population means one more job. If there is no job, people will definitely not be able to come in."
Xu Fei walked down from the watchtower in Xujia Village, found a seat in the square, and thought hard about the countermeasures.
At this time, a young man in a suit and tie strode over in the cold wind, "Sir, do you know about life insurance?"
"Sorry, I'm afraid your company won't be able to pay for my insurance."
"Just kidding sir, our company is very powerful."
"Okay, what kind of risks are there?"
"Life insurance, accident insurance, compulsory traffic insurance, property insurance, commercial insurance...even return shipping insurance."
"Is it so full? Then I was bitten by a dog, can I pay for it?"
"It is recommended that you buy medical insurance and accident insurance."
"How much can you pay?"
"It depends on your injury, but what is certain is that the RNA slow-release agent and blocker produced by the non-imported Daze Medical Devices are free of charge. In addition, you will be compensated for a loss of work according to your income."
"How many times can I be reimbursed?"
"In principle, once."
"Too little. What if I was bitten by a dog today and received an injection, and bitten by a dog again tomorrow?"
"This……"
"Forget it, in fact, there are wages for lost wages, which is already very good."
"Yes sir, this makes you more debt resilient."
"Give me a copy, credit card, transfer, or cash?"
"Our official Daze company only accepts credit cards and accepts them in real time."
"Thank you, Director Xu, for providing us with such a convenient settlement platform."
"Yes, thanks and my lord."
"..."
Xu Fei took his power bank with no expression on his face, swiped his card, authorized his signature, and obtained the electronic insurance policy, "Is this all right?"
"Yes sir, there is no waiting period, from now on, once you are bitten by a dog, you can contact me... No, I mean, accidentally injured."
Before the words were finished, a 'stray dog' the size of a calf popped out of the intersection and bit down on Xu Fei's calf.
It looks fierce, but it's actually a light touch.
Xu Fei embraced his calf, "I want insurance."
"???"
"I estimate that I won't be able to work for ten days and a half months. You should contact your company quickly and calculate my lost wages based on my annual income."
"..."
"If your company is unwilling to take responsibility, or fires you, you can contact me."
Xu Fei just tested the domestic insurance, worried about losing the salesman's job, and at the same time he walked to the civilian hospital, he gave him a business card of the person in charge of the labor dispatch agency.
And at this moment, the bus stop sign broadcasts real-time important news.
Two torpedo boats of the North American Fifth Fleet accidentally hit a giant cargo ship in Germany, causing the latter to run aground in the Maldives Channel.
At the same time, two freighters carrying a large number of used cars rear-ended in Panama.
I don't know if the disaster came too suddenly, or Wajima was unlucky.
An earthquake of magnitude 6 occurred in the Hokkaido area, and fires broke out in two crude oil warehouses...
