Manhattan Reborn 1978

Island country, Tokyo.

[-]:[-] a.m.

In a luxury hotel in Ginza [-]-chome.

Mag Ludwig took out a portfolio he had just received this morning from his briefcase, placed it in front of several people, and said with a smile.

"In May 1965, Xiong Daguo discovered the Samotrol oil field in the Nizhnyvartov area of ​​Tyumen Region in Western Siberia."

"This is the discovery of five third-level uplifts on the Talkhov dome."

"The first exploratory well drilled on the top of the Samote Lore III uplift blew out oil, announcing that the largest oil field in the bear country was found here, and it is also one of the few large oil fields in the world."

“Its original recoverable reserves are expected to exceed 16 billion tons. Three-quarters of the oil field is located in swamps and lakes up to 6 meters deep. The crude oil burial depth is shallow, the oil quality is good, the sulfur content is low, and the daily output of a single well is extremely high. high.."

"In 1969, Xiong Daguo officially began to exploit the Samoterol oil field. The annual oil production as of the end of 77 was 1 million tons!"

“The crude oil it produces passes through two large-diameter oil pipelines from Samotrol to Alimetyevsk and Angelosuzhensk, leading to the Volga-Ural oil area, Omsk, Angarsk, etc. The temporary storage of crude oil is continuously transported to crude oil refineries near Moscow and the Black Sea crude oil export port southwest of Moscow."

Mag Ludwig glanced at Toshiki Wada, the representative of the Yasuda family, Galid, the agent of Davis Leahy, as well as Marat, Yuri Orlov and Nobunari Kihara. He walked slowly to a world map on the wall, pointed at the center of the country with the largest territory on it, and said.

"The Samoterol oil field in Western Siberia, its approximate location... is here!"

Mag slid his finger on the map to the upper left: "This is the Volga-Urals oil producing area."

"These two oil-producing areas with astonishing reserves alone can produce more than 2 million tons of crude oil every year."

"Last year, Xiong Daguo's total crude oil exports and domestic crude oil consumption only accounted for about 82% of the total crude oil production."

"In other words, last year, Xiong Daguo had at least tens of millions of tons of crude oil stored in various places, and it has not yet refined and processed the finished products or found a buyer."

Mag moved his finger to the right on the map and landed on Nakhodka, the largest commercial port and Vladivostok (Vladivostok), the largest commercial port in the Far East, and said with a smile.

"This area consists of Vladivostok, Khabarovsk (Kaboli) and Nikolayevsk, the three major cities in the Far East. It is home to the Pacific Fleet of the Great Bear Power and hundreds of thousands of army mechanized troops deployed in the Far East. .”

"The total amount of refined oil they consume every year accounts for about two-thirds of California's annual refined oil consumption."

Mag moved his finger to the lower center of the Xiong Daguo map and said: "Here, Xiong Daguo will conduct a large-scale military exercise with the participation of more than 30 troops later this month."

"Before that, a batch of the latest crude oil output will be shipped to the Far East as a reserve for the bear country to implement its Asian crude oil export plan."

"By then, the major oil reserves in the Far East will transport a large amount of crude oil accumulated last year and the year before to the reserve near Nakhodka, waiting for export~"

Mag looked at Mr. Galid, one of the main "targets" today, and asked: "Your friends in the military, don't you know anything about the military exercise that the Bear Power is about to conduct this month?"

"...Hmm!" Galid looked down at the information in his hand, nodded and said nothing more.

Mag looked at the other main "target" Toshiki Wada and asked with a smile: "If the crude oil import channel between Toyama City and Nakhodka Commercial Port is maintained, you will be the party that benefits the most!"

"Although our boss has reached a verbal cooperation agreement with representatives of Vitol..."

"But this does not prevent you from establishing a preliminary friendly trade and cooperation relationship with Nakhodka~"

"Because crude oil is only one of the most profitable commodities exported by Xiong Daguo!"

"The Far East is very rich in minerals. It supplies nearly a quarter of the mineral raw materials of the great bear country, including gold, silver, diamond, tungsten, tin, mercury, antimony, germanium, fluorite, boron and other minerals, as well as a large amount of wood. , coal and other natural resource output..."

"The island country's local mineral resources are very poor. After the Meiji Restoration, they began to develop and utilize these resources on a large scale, until they were basically exhausted before and after World War II."

"Therefore, there are currently very few mines that can be exploited throughout the island country, and most of them are listed as strategic reserve resources."

Mag looked directly at Toshiki Wada, who lowered his head and remained silent, walked slowly to sit next to Yuri Orlov, crossed his legs, and said.

"Last year, the island nation's total consumption of coal, iron ore, copper, lead, nickel and other metal minerals ranked second in the world."

“岛国的总人口只占直接总人口比例的1．5％左右，石油、煤炭、天然气、铁、铜、铝、镍消费量占世界的比例依次为5％、4％、3％、5％、6％、4％和10％左右。。”

"Among them, the main importing countries of coal are Australia, India and Brazil."

"The coal sales prices implemented by these importing countries will be affected by price fluctuations of international traders and international commodity markets, and the positive correlation is extremely strong!"

"However, the latest coal export price implemented by Xiong Daguo..."

"Hehe~"

Mag winked at Yuri beside him and said with a smile: "I heard that your supermodel girlfriend Ava Fangtian led you to visit all the major shopping malls in Tokyo?"

"Yeah..." Yuri showed a helpless smile and spread his hands.

"Can you help me tell my boss to advance my salary a few months in advance?"

"Hahaha~"

Mag laughed heartily and shook his head: "You can only talk about this kind of thing yourself ~ I won't wipe your ass for you!"

"..." Yuri blushed and lowered his head amidst the laughter of Mag, Marat and Kihara Nobunari, and also laughed.

. . .

After about ten minutes.

Toshiki Wada put down the information in his hand and stared at Mager with burning eyes.

"Even if we withstand various domestic pressures and continue to maintain this trade channel..."

"Who will communicate with us at Nakhodka Commercial Port?"

"You!" Mag pointed at Toshiki Wada with a smile, and the upturned corners of his mouth became wider and wider.

"Our boss's attitude towards establishing this trade channel is...it doesn't matter~"

"It's done, that's great."

"If it doesn't work out, he won't lose anything~"

"Because his main investments are in cities with the most developed international financial industries, such as New York, Chicago and London."

"Commodity trading, he never paid much attention to it."

"Had it not been for the recent continued rise in oil prices, he would not have accidentally reached a cooperation while chatting with Mr. Davis Leahy in Hawaii, which led to last month's crude oil transaction."

Mag's smile slowly faded, his eyes grew colder, he stared at Toshiki Wada and said.

"When you and Kagyichiro Yasuda went to Hawaii, you were definitely not going on vacation, right?"

"When you and my boss met in New York before, we got along quite happily~"

"We are all smart people. There is no need for me to explain everything clearly, right?"

"..." Toshiki Wada subconsciously avoided Mag's gaze, then immediately "awoke" and looked at Mag and Yuri Orlov again.

"What happened to Miss Ava Fangtian at the airport..."

"I'm sorry I couldn't take care of it in time!"

"But I hope..."

"No, no, no!"

"It doesn't matter what you wish for!"

"Understand?"

Mag waved his hand towards him, the coldness at the corner of his mouth became more obvious, and he turned his eyes to Galid and asked.

"Is this the result of your discussion?"

"..." Galide turned to look at the silent Toshiki Wada, thought about it with a cold face, and sighed.

"Sorry, I promise there won't be a next time!"

"Hehe~"

Ma Ge sneered and raised his eyebrows, stood up and said, "We have been in Tokyo these two days and had a great time."

"It's time to go back now."

"Kihara Nobunari, you still have to accompany your girlfriend to visit relatives. You can return to New York later."

"Marat, Yuri, let's go!"

"ok~"

. . .

Mag Ludwig led Yuri and Marat away.

Wada Toshiki looked at Kihara Nobunari without any emotion and said nothing.

Galid looked back and forth between the two of them, put away the materials in his hands, put them all into his briefcase, and left.

Kihara Nobunari watched his back disappear from the door, took a deep breath, looked at Wada Toshiki and said.

"You are self-defeating!!"

"..Yeah?"

Toshiki Wada frowned: "Have you already made your choice?"

Kihara Nobunari smiled ridiculously: "I have never wavered!"

"It's just that you all hope that I can change my stance and stand on your side~"

"But you have never thought about why I left here for New York...right?"

"..." Toshiki Wada showed a clear expression, nodded and said nothing.

Kihara Nobunari did not intend to continue playing riddles, and said directly: "When my fiancée Moriyama Tomomi decided to follow me to New York, she had already told her everything clearly to her family."

"Even if her family no longer recognizes her, she will not use this kind of thing to influence me to make the right decision."

"David Coleman is my boss."

"He doesn't have the deep-seated condescension you have~"

"He will not use some unreasonable means to force me to face difficult choices."

"So I have made a decision since I was in New York, and you can't succeed!"

Kihara Nobunari quickly packed up his personal belongings, put his coat on his left arm, and sneered as he felt an unprecedented sense of joy in his heart.

"Times have changed~"

"Open your eyes and see the world!"

"This sentence was said casually by the boss when he was on vacation in Hawaii..."

"Now, I give it to you!"

"Mr. Toshiki Wada!"

"If you are still living in a dream, you will be eliminated."

"..."

Toshiki Wada looked at Nobunari Kihara who had "wind blowing under his feet" as he walked out of the door. The corner of his mouth slowly raised a "weird" arc and murmured to himself.

"Have times really changed?"

"Hehe~"

"You just saw the other side of it!"

----

Southeast Texas, Houston.

19 Piney Point Village, Piney Point Village, Memorial District, west of downtown.

night~

David, who had dinner with his mentor, held Elena in one hand and Lilith in the other, sitting on the sofa in the living room, casually telling relaxing jokes.

Odis Parker, who rushed back from Los Angeles after dinner, very wisely and quietly took out a few portfolios from his briefcase and placed them next to him. He looked at the "transparent girl" Ada Pushk curiously for a while. I don’t know what I’m thinking about again. .

David glanced at Toby Olga, who was still sitting at the dining table, struggling, and Laura, the "little tail" who was crying and eating fruit salad, and smiled at Lilith beside him.

"When did she start learning to lose weight?"

Lilith rubbed her belly a few times with her hands and sighed helplessly: "If a girl wants to maintain a good figure, she has to keep her mouth shut..."

"It's not like you men, you can eat whatever you want all day long~"

"Tsk tsk tsk!"

David smiled and touched Lilith's belly and teased: "Come on, let me touch it...how many months has it been?!"

"Go~"

Two blushes appeared on Lilith's face, and she opened David's hands: "Touch your Elena!"

"Hehe~"

"It's so sour!"

David turned to look at Elena: "What about you? How many months have it been?"

Elena generously took David's hand, pressed it on her lower abdomen and smiled: "You think about it for a few months, it will be a few months."

"Hahaha~"

David pinched the flesh on her lower abdomen with his hand and said with a smile: "You have also gained weight recently~ Not bad! Very good!"

"what?"

"Do you like fat girls?" Elena asked in a very cooperative manner.

"Well...not counting."

David turned his head and glanced at the "tangled" Toby, and smiled: "A little fatter, a little thinner, it doesn't matter to me~"

"As long as you can stay healthy and satisfied with yourself, that's fine with me!"

"How can this work!" Elena did not agree with him "without any bottom line" this time, she shook her head and laughed.

"If a girl can't maintain a good figure and can't even wear the dress she likes, it would be so embarrassing..."

"Wow~!!"

"Are you losing weight just to wear beautiful clothes?"

"if not?"

Elena asked "full of energy": "Don't you men like to see girls wearing beautiful clothes?"

"Hehe~"

David smiled evilly, shook his head in disapproval and said, "We men all like to see girls like those in Playboy magazine..."

"Hahaha~" Elena laughed when she saw the "obscene" look on David's face.

Lilith pinched his arm hard and whispered in his ear: "Ada is still here! Don't talk nonsense."

"Ah...oh!"

David then remembered, looked at Ada Pushk sitting on the carpet in the corner, and asked.

"Your brothers, why haven't you come to take you back yet?"

"..."

"Come over and sit here with us. It's starting to cool down outside and the ground is very cold."

"..."

David looked at Ada who was hiding her head in a football cap and couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"Why did you change your hat again?"

"Who likes to play rugby?"

"..."

"Whose is that hockey stick from last time?"

"..."

"Ada!"

"You know clang, clang clang, clang clang...?"

"..."

David felt a bad taste in his heart, cleared his throat, and sang in the voice of "Apply".

"Dang, Dang Dang Dang, Dang Dang~ That's it. Only you, can make all this world seem right.!"

"Onlyyoucanmakethedarknessbright~"

“Onlyyouandyoualonecanthrillmelikeyoudo!”

"And fill my heart with love for only you..."

"Ah only you..."

"It sounds awful! Stop singing~"

Laura, the "little tail" sitting at the dining table, covered her ears with her hands and shouted when she heard David's "heartbreaking" singing.

"Hahaha~"

David glanced at Lilith and Elena, who were almost laughing beside him, and smiled helplessly at little sister Ada, who had fallen into some unknown state.

"Look~ I can't fully explain it to you... Dang, Dang Dang Dang, Dang Dang~"

"But the meaning of this old song from more than 20 years ago must be made clear to you."

"it.."

"Okay!"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Laura couldn't bear it any longer and trotted from the restaurant to David, made a "hungry tiger pounces on a sheep" stance, gritted her teeth and pounced on him. .

"fxxx!"

"What are you going to do...?!!"

"Ah~" (Wail...)

"Ah!" (Shouting in horror...)

"Ouch~!!" (Painful cry~)

"..." (I can no longer make any sound)

. . .

ten minutes later.

Feeling relaxed all over, Laura walked up to Ada Pushk "domineeringly", raised her head, waved her little fists, and smiled proudly.

"did you see it?"

"It's useless to sit in a corner and act like a turtle like you all day long..."

"You have to learn to solve problems with your fists!"

"Whoever disobeys you, or whoever makes you feel uneasy... just beat him up!"

"The annoying boys I met at Yale, I gave them a few slaps and they all pissed their pants and ran away~"

"You are taller than me...what are you afraid of?!"

"..."

The look in Ada's eyes when she looked at Laura, the "violent girl with a small tail", was filled with confusion and confusion.

She opened her mouth slowly and said in a very small voice: "My mother told me that it is wrong to hit people."

"Cut~"

Laura curled her lips indifferently, turned to look at David, who was "shameless to see others", and sneered.

"It's certainly wrong to hit someone."

"There's nothing wrong with beating up bastards and bad guys, right?"

"As long as you think he's a bad guy or a bastard who makes you feel annoying or unsafe, just go up and beat him up!"

"..." Ada looked down at her little fist, then at David who was covering his face, and nodded subconsciously.

David saw through his fingers that Ada seemed to have really listened to Laura's "wrong reasoning", and felt that all the words he had said to her before were in vain. .

Could it be that. . ? !

Emm. .
