After a thousand years of trading, start a million barrels of oil

Chapter 27 The Opponent's Conditions

Facing the high-level personnel who came and what he said, everyone in Jiang Fan couldn't understand why he made such a remark.

90 US dollars per barrel, which is 28 US dollars cheaper than the international one.
If it is 5 million barrels, it is 140 billion U.S. dollars, which is a huge sum of money.

Everyone was silent for 5 seconds, but the oil team leader was the first to react, and asked in a deep voice, "What's the condition?"

In fact, it should also be thought that the other party's sudden willingness to make such a large profit must be accompanied by other conditions.

For example, we hope that we can help with infrastructure construction, or build a high-speed rail or something,

These can be considered, and they are our strengths, which can be regarded as mutual benefits.

The other party smiled and stretched out 5 fingers.

Jiang Fan and the others don't quite understand what this means, 5 high-speed trains?
The cost of a high-speed rail train is about 1.7 million yuan, and 5 trains are only 8.5 million yuan, which is a bit too much.

Of course, if you build railroad tracks or something, it's almost the same, and that thing still burns money.

But they are just guessing in their hearts, before the other party sells the psychological price, they will not reveal the bottom.

Seeing that Jiang Fan and the others were silent, the officials on the other side didn't give a shit, and said directly: "5 J20s."

Good guy, Jiang Fan and the others call him good guy, these people really dare to think about it.

The cost of the J20 is rumored to be about 1.1 million U.S. dollars, and 5 is only 5.5 million U.S. dollars. Compared with the 140 billion U.S. dollars offered by others, it is indeed not expensive.

But can that thing be measured in money?Even if you give 500 billion U.S. dollars, it is impossible to sell you one. It is related to national security.

"Sorry, we can't agree to your conditions. J20 is not for sale and will not be sold." The oil team leader flatly refused.

The person on the other side was not angry, obviously thinking of this result, and then said:

"It doesn't matter if you don't sell the J20, then let's change it to something else."

"What?" asked the oil team leader.

The person on the other side smiled and said, "Atomic D, how about it? I heard that your neighbor picked it up in the desert. We also have a desert, and I want to pick up a few. I wonder if it's possible?"

The oil team leader, the petrochemical team leader, Jiang Fan, and other team members were also stunned for a moment, and then laughed. They were waiting for them here.
For these oil-producing countries, wealth is huge, but if they can better maintain their own security and protect this wealth, it is what they desire.
After all, everyone is innocent, but pregnant is guilty.

And if it can have a strategic level of deterrence, it will undoubtedly be perfect.

It's just that this kind of thing is not something that can be created, nor can anyone who wants to have it be able to have it.
So they want to use oil as a lure to reproduce some past situations.

It's just that the idea is very good, but some things cannot be reproduced.

Of course, this kind of thing cannot be answered at their level, so the oil team leader asked them to wait a while,

It was quickly fed back to the country and asked if there was a possibility.
If it is possible, it is not at their level to talk, but to arrange a diplomatic meeting with relevant personnel,

To put it bluntly, they are just a microphone. Maybe others just considered this matter.
It just so happens that Jiang Fan and the others are talking about the oil issue, so let's find out in this informal way first.
If it doesn't work, it can be regarded as a casual chat among ordinary people. Anyway, they are just enterprises in name, and they don't represent the government.

Otherwise, if you directly communicate with the staff of the embassy, ​​it will become a formal diplomatic act, and the various properties and influences will be completely different.

And the domestic feedback is also very fast after being conveyed layer by layer. Simply put, it is impossible.
After all, the past situation was more out of geostrategic considerations, and it also involved some other situations at that time, including the default attitude of major countries in the end.

But their request this time does not meet these conditions at all. It is of course difficult to accept a temptation purely out of their own interests.

Therefore, after receiving the domestic feedback, the oil team leader also truthfully conveyed: "Sorry, there should be no such possibility,

Or we can switch to some other projects, such as civil-related projects, which can all be considered. "

The high-level personnel of the other party were not in a hurry after hearing this, and added another condition:
"Or you think 90 dollars a barrel is still too expensive, and we don't mind if you pick up 5 million barrels of oil directly from the desert, or even 10 billion barrels. You should be very short of oil now."

5 million barrels is 590 billion U.S. dollars, 10 billion barrels is 1180 billion U.S. dollars,

Moreover, the other party pinched Huaxia's current weakness in urgent need of oil, so it was quite accurate.

But others will follow, but this thing is not a joke.

Moreover, the team leader of Petroleum received feedback from the country that it was not a one-off, but that no matter what conditions the other party imposed, it would not work.

The words are dead.

So it is actually simple for him, the oil team leader continued to shake his head and said:

"Sorry, this is a matter of principle. I think apart from these two items, we still have broad prospects for cooperation and mutual benefit in other fields."

The other party's senior staff finally lost the patience they had before, and became a little impatient.

The voices of the replies were somewhat annoyed: "Since this is the case, then I don't think we need to talk about our oil business.
120 dollars a barrel, we will ship after full payment,

If you accept it, do it, if you don't accept it, please find another master. "

After the senior staff said this, they got up and left the conference room.

With his addition, an additional $2 per barrel is added, which is equivalent to an additional cost of $10 billion.
The most important thing is to add a condition of full payment first, which is a bit disgusting,

The 5 million barrels of oil is a strategic contract, and it will take several months to ship the oil back in batches after it is concluded.

And the payment is usually paid in advance for each batch. It is impossible to pay all the money in the first batch.

This is unacceptable no matter from the perspective of capital cost or risk.

So the other party suddenly added such an item, which seemed to be an act of haste.
In fact, they are still exerting pressure. I hope that Jiang Fan and the others will give in because of this.
After all, the initiative is still in their hands.

But for Jiang Fan and the others, the pressure is great, and they are not in the upper hand in the situation themselves. Others have superimposed two harsh conditions.
Even if we continue to work on the conditions, we can still grind down a little bit.
But with the situation here, it is estimated that the other party is only willing to make one condition at most, and the remaining condition is still a big burden for them.
And they don't have much time, and it will only become more and more unfavorable if they drag it on.

So after continuing to make some attempts, they decided to come here first for this negotiation,
Go back and discuss countermeasures first, and then make plans.

The three negotiating team leaders returned to the hotel, closed the door, and began to think about the countermeasures.
