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

Chapter 4
"Xiaojiang is here." Zhang Feng was quite satisfied with Jiang Fan,

Although it is the first time to join his group, he is more active in all aspects.

"Team leader." Jiang Fan also greeted: "How is the conversation going?"

After the negotiation was over, Zhang Feng stayed and chatted with the leader of the other party's negotiation team for a while, so Jiang Fan asked to see if there was any progress.

Zhang Feng shook his head: "I won't give in."

"Then what are you going to do now?" Wang Hai also asked, and at the same time passed a cigarette to Zhang Feng.

Zhang Feng took it, put it in his mouth, and borrowed Wang Hai's lighter to light it up.

He took a sharp breath, exhaled a large cloud of smoke, and then said:
"What else can I do, submit it to the headquarters for approval, and just pay the other party's price."

The indicators given above cover this price, but they want to control the indicators at all levels.
So when it comes to their negotiating team, the price will be a little lower than the market price,
But it’s not a big problem. Make a report. If it’s a big deal, let’s pay according to the market price. It’s not that it can’t be solved.

It’s just that when CNOOC submits tasks to its superiors, it will save face a little. After all, the other two companies have negotiated some discounts.
But who told them that they are not in the land oil industry, and the purchase volume this time is small,

Originally, it was to pull down the average and avoid unnecessary problems caused by excessive purchases by a single company.

Wang Hai also understood this reason, and started talking about other topics, not talking too much about this.

Back to the place of accommodation at night, the hotels in the Middle East are similar to those in China,
Ordinary express hotels are more than 20 square meters, with a bed, a table and a bathroom roughly like this configuration, and the hygiene is also acceptable.

The negotiating team did not specifically go to live in a luxury hotel, just such an express hotel,

However, each person is in a single room, and the negotiation must ensure adequate sleep.
But the actual situation, in the past few days, everyone was able to sleep on time every day, and they were all staying up late preparing materials for the next day's negotiations.

Now that the big results are finalized, I don't think I can get too many discounts. Although I am helpless, I don't need to stay up all night to prepare materials.

It's just that the task was completed so-so, no matter from the overall benefits or their personal bonuses and promotions, it was not a particularly good result.

But Jiang Fan is not thinking about this now, what he is most concerned about right now is the bracelet and the trading space inside.

Jiang Fan sat on the bed, fiddling with the blue-black bracelet on his wrist,
No matter how you look at it, it is just an ordinary bracelet, and it is also a rubber strap with a ring core in the middle.
It’s just that the design sense of this ring core is indeed better, which is why he fell in love with this model in the street store at that time.

The boss is also honest, saying that this bracelet is not purchased from the channel, but it appeared in his store one day when he opened the store.
He tried it, and the functions and everything are good, because there is no packaging, so it is cheaper to sell in the window.

Jiang Fan liked it so much that he bought it for 200 local currency.

You can't tell anything strange from the outside, let's go in and have a look.

With a silent recitation in my heart, I entered the space again,

The starry sky is still so deep, and the dark ground is still as clean as a mirror.

The holographic panel on the side was summoned, and it was still the list of [traders].

But the sharp-eyed Jiang Fan suddenly noticed a small question mark in the lower left corner of the panel, which usually means that there is a text description inside.

Click it, and a dialog box pops up, with a set of text in it:
[The ancestors who received this bracelet thousands of years ago, we are your descendants 1000 years later.

This bracelet is specially made by us and delivered to thousands of years ago through the crack of time.

As for why we do this, we have special reasons, and for some reasons, we cannot explain here,
But believe, our wise ancestors, you will find its correct usage, bless you!

In addition, a small reminder, if the object of the transaction is a country, the bracelet will give you a gold reward of double the amount of the profit after the first profit transfer~]

Jiang Fan looked at this text and fell into thinking. Judging from the text, this bracelet is also a product of technology after a thousand years.

And coming here is not accidental, but the future human beings specially delivered to this era through the time rift,
As for why they did this, they seem to have unspeakable reasons.

As for the correct usage mentioned in it, it confused Jiang Fan the most. Is it the correct usage for me to trade oil with it now?
"I'm most afraid of talking halfway." Jiang Fan hated this kind of behavior,

I was able to sleep well at first, but now I have something on my mind, so it's hard to say whether I can sleep well.

But what caught his attention the most was the last sentence, which gave a reminder that for the first time trading with the country, it is suggested to give up a little profit, and you can get a gold reward that doubles the amount of the profit.

What does this mean and what message is it trying to convey to me?
Hinting me to trade with the state?And don't hold the attitude of a pure businessman?
Jiang Fan thought for a long time and really couldn't figure it out.

"I don't want to think so much." Jiang Fan felt that for the time being, there is no harm anyway, so let's get the 100 million barrels of oil first.

So he directly withdrew from the trading space. As for the use of these oils, Jiang Fan had already thought about it.
Isn't it planned to purchase 300 million barrels of oil, of which 100 million barrels are traded with wristbands,
And this also coincides with the last sentence of the prompt text of the bracelet. When the time comes to sell it, the real transaction object is the country.
Trading with the country in this way, and making a little profit can get double the gold income, which is cool.

As for why he didn't talk about it with Zhang Feng and Wang Hai in the office today, because he didn't dare to say it rashly before he actually got the 100 million barrels of oil.
If the 100 million barrels of oil are not obtained in the end, and then the report and follow-up negotiations are disrupted, it will be troublesome, so it is better to be cautious.

After Jiang Fan's plan was finalized, he turned off the lights and went to sleep.

On the second day, according to the agreed time, the members of the negotiating team set off directly from the hotel to the negotiating place.

The team leader Zhang Feng had asked for instructions last night, so he bought according to the international oil price.

300 million barrels, 112 U.S. dollars a barrel, that is, more than 3 million U.S. dollars, equivalent to nearly 20 billion soft sister coins.

Entering the negotiating room, Zhang Feng still fought for it again, but the other party still refused to give in.
With no other choice, Zhang Feng had no choice but to show his hole cards and agreed to the other party's price.
When the two parties celebrate the conclusion of the negotiation and prepare to sign the contract,
On the other side, a person suddenly came over and whispered a few words in the ear of the other party's chief negotiator.

Then, the chief negotiator of the other party put down the pen he was about to sign, and said to Zhang Feng in English with a slightly regretful expression:
"Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry, we have just been notified,

We may not be able to meet the first batch of purchases of 300 million barrels you requested. The instruction I received is that we can only sell you 200 million barrels. "
