Chapter 318 Reasons for the Japanese opposition
"You can think about it in private, I will give you another half hour, and we will not force you to buy it or not." Li Yihui stood up and looked at the nine oil people below. The person in charge of the chemical company smiled.
After saying that, he left the conference room directly, leaving them to think about it themselves.
As for whether Japan’s oil companies will eventually buy it, Li Yihui doesn’t care at all. In his opinion, it’s best if Japan’s economy collapses!
As for South Korea, it’s a small country, a typical arrogant country, let them do whatever they want.
The reason why Li Yihui is confident is that not only 13 petrochemical companies from Singapore, South Korea, and Japan want to buy oil from him in the past two days!
Yesterday, he also received inquiries from Australia and Southeast Asian countries.
Sooner or later, these countries will have to look to him to buy oil, because the international situation is like this, with less oil and more customers
South Korea, like Japan, is a typical resource-deficient country.
So, South Korea’s current situation is not much better than that of Japan, or even more serious.
After all, Japan is much stronger than South Korea in terms of economic strength, so they originally had some oil stored.
However, the amount of oil stored is not large and can only be used in important places.
South Korea, however, does not have this awareness.
So, in South Korea, even if the oil price rises to sky-high prices, these oil companies will not be able to produce oil, and the economy will suffer losses every day.
The most important thing is that their source of crude oil is mainly from the Middle East, and the distance from the Middle East to South Korea is farther than to Xiangjiang. Even at the fastest speed, it will take nearly twenty days. Shipping to South Korea.
And the crude oil they obtained there was simply not enough.
So, seeking new sources of oil from Tianwen Oil Company is a very important matter for South Korea.
In fact, whether oil prices are high or not has little bearing on petrochemical companies like them, because in the end, it is only the people who pay the high prices.
In the conference room, three South Koreans secretly discussed privately in South Korean how to handle this matter.
The final conclusion is: Oil must be bought. If Li Yihui does not relent, then they will have no choice but to accept it.
On the other side, the six Japanese people also chatted privately in Japanese.
South Koreans and Japanese people have always been hostile to each other, so they can't talk together.
The reason why Japanese companies have developed so well internationally is that, in addition to other factors, there is another reason that is also indispensable.
That is, no matter how they compete domestically, they will be very united internationally!
This is also why Japan has given birth to world-class companies such as Liben, Toshiba, Sony, Mitsubishi and so on.
Now, they are also very united, discussing how to deal with this situation, trying to make progress and retreat together!
"Kawaguchi-kun and Masano-kun, it seems that their attitude is very tough. Should we agree to them? There is a lot of criticism in the country now." Yujiko Hatatari, the person in charge of Xiangjiang of Nippon Mining Group said.
"Do you think he is just bluffing? Everyone should know that Tianwen Oil Company's oil storage capacity now reaches 170 million barrels. This amount is very huge. If it is not handled well, if the oil If the crisis ends quickly, the oil in their hands can only be disposed of at a low price, so they are actually eager to sell it. After all, they have already made a lot of money at the current price." Toyo Idemitsu Kosan Co., Ltd. Said Masano Kazuki, the person in charge of Xiangjiang.
“Yes, our ship was hijacked by a pirate team on the Luzon Waterway. Not only did they lose dozens of crew members, but they also stole 200,000 tons of crude oil, so it’s best Let Xiangjiang bear the transportation risk. We will pay you when the crude oil reaches Japan safely!”
“We are not the same. Two years ago, a 100,000-ton oil tanker was robbed. Although The person is fine, but it took a huge amount of money to redeem it.”
The six people kept discussing how to deal with this matter. For them, saving on shipping costs is second, and when the money will be settled is the most important.
Because in this era, everyone pays attention to cash on delivery. They pay before the goods are received. In their view, the risk is very high.
What if something goes wrong at sea while the cargo is being transported?
They do not bear this responsibility!
They transport oil from Xiangjiang to Japan, and usually transport it back through the Luzon Waterway.
The Luzon pirates have a characteristic, that is, the pirates are very rampant. They once suffered very serious losses in the Luzon waterway.
If you want to pay on delivery, you actually want Su City to bear the risk!
For example, when they buy crude oil from Middle Eastern countries, the crude oil is basically brought to Japan before the payment is settled to the cargo owner.
"Otherwise, we will make a concession and we can bear the freight, but the payment must wait until the payment is settled!" Yamaguchi said!
"Okay, I think so. The distance from Xiangjiang to Japan is not too far, and the freight is much cheaper than coming from the Middle East. We can accept this, but the oil must be settled after we arrive in Japan. Our president has emphasized this issue, and we represent 6 companies here. If we take it seriously, they should not dare to offend us."
Not far away, there are three South Koreans. One of them, because he could speak Japanese, naturally overheard their discussion.
So, the results of their discussion were directly told to the other two South Koreans.
“Do you want to be like them?”
“I don’t think so. The payment will have to be settled sooner or later. Although we also want to pay cash on delivery, the situation is not good for us now. We are arrogant on the surface, but in fact we should know the situation deep down. I think we should agree to Mr. Li Yihui’s conditions, negotiate early, and bring the crude oil we need back to China as soon as possible.”
"I also think this is better. Instead of going crazy with them, like the people in charge in Singapore, we should finalize the matter as soon as possible. And I guess that the oil price may rise again tomorrow. If we delay it for one day, we will have to pay The cost is higher, there is no need!”
“Yes, our waterway is different from theirs. We are taking the Gulf Strait, and there is no risk of piracy!”
Japan! The people and the South Koreans just decided the matter.
The South Koreans decided to agree to the conditions mentioned by Li Yihui, just like the people of Singapore.
The Japanese decided to take a gamble and let Li Yihui bow his head!
In the eyes of the Japanese, the Chinese are inferior. They once ruled these places, whether it was Xiangjiang or Singapore!
Half an hour passed, and Li Yihui walked in again.
"You should have decided, right?" Li Yihui said with a smile.
Everyone nodded.
"Then, if there are no objections, everyone can go out first and sign the sales contract together at 12 noon. Those who have objections will stay." Li Yihui said directly.
After hearing what Li Yihui said, three South Koreans stood up directly. One of them, a South Korean who spoke very good Chinese, said: "We all agree to sign the contract according to your method, so let's go out first!"
"Okay, thank you for your support and wish us a happy cooperation!" Li Yihui nodded with a smile.
South Koreans also have an arrogant character. For Li Yihui, they are not enemies, so he has no prejudice against South Koreans.
"What about you, do you have any questions?" After the three people went out, Li Yihui turned around again and asked the Japanese people.
