Rebirth of Military Workers

Chapter 881

“General, this is to fully consider the risk of oil being shipped from the Persian Gulf and the cost of transportation to our country. In addition, you have to consider how much crude oil your country can give every day.” Xie Kai said slowly, “If you can, As long as you ship out of the Gulf of Oman, even if it enters the waters of Pakistan, we can agree to your country’s price.”

“Dreaming!” Ibrahim jumped up.

If the Persians knew that the Iraqis themselves were transporting oil, they would sink their oil tankers in ruins.

“This is not a dream, it is the case. General, unless you can change the president’s decision to stop the war with the Persians.” Xie Kai said, “If you can’t transport it, no amount of oil will be used for transportation. It can be transported. , Then I don’t know how high the risk is.”

Both the Iraqis and the Persians attacked whoever’s cargo ship was caught.

The Persian Gulf is now causing the global economy to collapse.

Because Europe and the United States are worried that the Soviet Union will die and break their nets and use global wars to solve their domestic serious economic problems, no escort fleet has been dispatched until now.

Even the north and south Yemen are already doing it.

“We can provide 1 million barrels of crude oil a day!” Ibrahim said, “Xie Kai, your price is too low and you are not sincere. Now our funds are also very tight, you know.”

“$11.” Xie Kai’s reserve price is not unchangeable.

There is still a full price difference of 2 dollars.

If he didn’t think it would be too much to ask for 8 dollars a barrel, he would be embarrassed, and he would give this price at the beginning.

Talk slowly anyway.

He really didn’t have time to slowly polish prices with the Iraqis, everyone was very busy.

“Minimum 16.” Ibrahim also has a reserve price.

If you can ask for an extra dollar, that’s tens of millions of dollars.

“General, this price is too high. If you factor in the risk, and leave the transportation cost aside, there is not much profit.” Xie Kai reminded Ibrahim again, “What’s more, these oils should not be in OPEC’s quota. Right?”

Not in the quota, unless a buyer can be found.

The Iraqis dare not transport oil in an open manner. Exceeding the quota too much will suppress international oil prices. What’s more, their oil is currently exported from Turkey through oil pipelines.

Ibrahim was a little embarrassed.

Indeed, as Xie Kai said, these oils are not in the quota. If you want to increase production, OPEC must agree.

Iraq now owes a large amount of debts to the major oil-producing countries in the Middle East, and these debts are all exchanged for oil export quotas.

Anyway, they usually fight with the Persians, especially the Baizul oil field, the largest oil-producing area next to the important southern town of Basra.

“15 dollars, it can’t be lower.” Ibrahim did not explain anything, and lowered the price by 1 dollar.

“Twelve dollars. General, if you think you can accept this price, sign a contract. Supply 1 million barrels a day. After paying the advance payment, if you still think it can cooperate, we can talk.” Xie Kai and I don’t want to sign too many contracts.

Ibrahim did not agree with this price at all.

too low.

He took the international market price as an example, but was despised by Xie Kai.

The price that can really be sold in the international market, Iraqis will not talk to Xie Kai like this.

“General, it is impossible for us to sell these oil at national prices. In order to sell it as soon as possible, it must be lower than the market price. Otherwise, tens of millions of barrels of crude oil will flow into the international market, which will also have a big impact.” Xie Kai knows that Iraqis are already very tight now, and it is impossible to give too high a price.

He believes that the reserve price of Iraqis is not that high.

Silly Damu maintains good relations with many countries. The key is that oil cannot be shipped from the Persian Gulf now.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“You have a good relationship with Persia, and there are deals. They will not attack Chinese merchant ships.” Ibrahim was not satisfied that Xie Kai kept the price so low.

“We have no very large ocean-going merchant ships entering the Persian Gulf at all!” Xie Kai was not happy.

The Iran-Iraq War entered the stage of assault on ships. Not a single ship in China was sunk. It was not because of good relations with Persia and Iraq, but because China did not have a few large ocean freighters.

The only ship that was bombed, the “Sea Giant”, could barely be regarded as having something to do with China, because Hong Kong is Chinese territory, and the point is that it has not been recovered at this time.

Even if China has a large ocean-going cargo ship entering the Persian Gulf, the Chinese Navy will not be able to escort it without an ocean-going fleet.

Therefore, for the two warring parties, China has always called for a peaceful settlement.

“General, whether it is you or the Persians, you are driving large cargo ships and oil tankers to explode. International oil prices have risen to such an extent, and you have contributed the most. Moreover, large international oil tankers are entering the Persian Gulf, whether they are transporting your cargo or crude oil. , Or transporting Persians, will face serious danger…”

Everyone on earth knows that about the Persian Gulf.

The Persians not only bombed the Iraqi merchant ships, but also the merchant ships that transported the Iraqis. Countries such as Kuwait were on the list of Persians’ attacks.

The same is true for Iraqis.

In history, even after the Americans began to escort, the Iraqis’ Mirage F1 launched two flying fish anti-ship missiles, causing serious damage to the USS Stark missile frigate. 37 people were killed. In the end, the Iraqis said it was bombed by mistake, the Americans. There is no accountability.

The parties know the specific situation better than anyone else.

Just to keep oil prices!

Even American warships dare to explode.

Xie Kai is now not afraid that the Iraqis dare to bomb their tanker, nor do they worry that the Persians dare to bomb. When the time comes, whoever bombs will be compensated.

An agreement must now be reached.

“So, 12 dollars is already very high. Otherwise, you pay in cash!” Xie Kai killed 12 dollars without letting go.

Ibrahim even lowered the price to $14, but Xie Kai disagreed.

“Xie Kai, or else, we would each back down for 13 dollars, and sign the contract according to this. No matter where the transportation is, the transportation cost of 2 to 3 dollars per barrel is already very high.” Ibrahim said .

This is one dollar lower than their reserve price.

He understands the character of Xie Kai, and he is afraid that it will affect the arms trade between the two parties, so he does not negotiate the price of a few cents like in the world.

Xie Kai has watched Ibrahim for a long time and knows that this is the bottom line of the Iraqis. He has to find buyers and transportation companies. All of this must be done in the shortest time. The longer the time, the less profit will be. .

The Americans have not yet begun to escort due to accidents. Even if they escorted, they will not be able to bring oil prices down in the short term because of the hostile relationship between the Persians and the United States.

In the global stock market crash, it is unlikely that oil prices will continue to rise.

“Okay!” Xie Kai was too lazy to say, “But General, this probably requires you to talk to Director Zheng and the others.”

Xie Kai must get out as soon as possible.

Ibrahim also knew that Xie Kai would not sign a contract with them. Anyway, it would be useful to talk to him.

“Mo Qi, you ask Tan Ge if he knows a company that owns a large ocean tanker.” Before Xie Kai came out and reported this to Zheng Yucheng and the others, he asked Mo Qi to contact Tan Lin.

Tan Lin was originally engaged in import and export trade, and now he has set up an ocean shipping company to transport domestically produced equipment to Tanzania, and then to transport concentrate ore back from Tanzania.

“He doesn’t have an oil tanker in his hands.” Mo Qi also gradually grasped the resources available to Xie Kai.

Tan Lin used to engage in smuggling, and now there are ocean shipping companies, which are only for transporting African resources.

“He doesn’t have a tanker, he has something to do.” Xie Kai didn’t explain. “You contact him. His way in Singapore is also wild. It’s best to let him go with us.”

In Singapore, Xie Kai really doesn’t have many ways.

The relationship between the government and there is not very good, even if Singapore is also a Chinese country, those people are mixed with European and American countries.

“US$1.3 billion? Even if you give a shipping cost of US$3 a barrel, you can get twice the profit!” Zheng Yucheng’s saliva flowed down.

The old guy’s heart was so excited that it almost stopped beating.

“Thinking too much. Even at this price, regardless of various costs, a profit of $20 per barrel can be considered a high fragrance.” Xie Kai looked at Zheng Yucheng, dumbfounded, “It is impossible to use the international oil price. Transaction. We must transport this batch of crude oil in the shortest possible time, or even sell it.”

“The international price is there!”

“These are not the output planned by OPEC. Whether it is Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, or even the Soviet Union, all major oil-producing countries are desperately increasing oil production.” Xie Kai explained, “If it weren’t for the outbreak of the Iran-Iraq War, Iraq and Iraq The oil production of the two major oil-producing countries in Iran has dropped sharply, and the international oil price will not be so high.”

Investing in oil fields and increasing production are not something that you will see benefits tomorrow from today.

The construction period of the oil field is not short.

There is only this opportunity, and it depends on whether you can grasp it.

“What price do you plan to sell this batch of oil?” Wang Guilin asked Xie Kai.

“35~36 dollars.” Xie Kai said, “a total of 36.6 million barrels, one million barrels a day, it takes more than a month. Moreover, in the early stage, it was impossible for us to transport millions of barrels of crude oil a day.”

Xie Kai was anxious.

“It is not easy for us to transport 500,000 barrels a day. There are not many large oil tankers in China.” This is what Wang Guilin is most worried about.

“For this kind of thing, we can’t use our domestic oil tankers at all. We don’t even need to transport it ourselves!” Xie Kai said, “What needs to be done is to safely transport the oil from Iraqi ports and cross the Gulf of Oman. , Even if you get the money.”

“It’s so easy?” Zheng Yucheng didn’t believe it. “If it’s so easy, why should we make twice the profit?”
