Chapter 321 The Japanese suffered heavy losses
Life and death matter, and Sioux City cannot control casualties abroad.
"Xiao Ai, did this happen yesterday in another world?" Su Cheng asked Xiao Ai curiously.
“Although similar things happened in another world, it was not as serious as yesterday’s incident. Because of your appearance, the price of oil skyrocketed to today’s price in a short period of time. This also happened. The direct cause of the oil theft incident;
In another world, although oil prices have begun to rise at this time, they are still rising towards US$20 per barrel and want to rise to US$40 per barrel. , it will take a few months.”
Xiao Ai quickly answered Su Cheng.
Su Cheng was speechless. Unexpectedly, the culprit of this incident was actually himself.
If he had not changed the history of the crude oil market, then this thing might not have happened.
However, Su Cheng did not feel guilty about this. After all, he was not a Virgin, and this did not happen to a Chinese.
So, Su Cheng chose to pretend that this matter had nothing to do with him. Anyway, those who died were all the criminals who wanted to steal the oil.
Su Cheng could only recite silently: Amitabha!
The news of the sharp rise in international crude oil prices has naturally spread to Japan.
When the heads of six petrochemical companies including Japan Shinichi Mining Group and Japan Idemitsu Kosan Co., Ltd. saw the news, they were dumbfounded.
They can ignore the news, but they have to ignore the oil price!
When the price was 40.8 US dollars per barrel yesterday, they still thought it was expensive.
But today, what happened? In just one day, it rose to 44.9 US dollars per barrel?
In just one day, a barrel of crude oil has increased by US$4.1 per barrel. This is a big loss!
Looking at the latest international crude oil prices, the six heads of petrochemical companies remained silent for a long time.
The six petrochemical companies originally planned to purchase a total of 2 million barrels of crude oil this time.
However, yesterday, the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry issued an order to them, requiring their six petrochemical companies to collect 12 million barrels of crude oil as soon as possible.
This is why their person in charge in Hong Kong was so anxious to find Li Yihui yesterday evening.
As the six largest petrochemical companies in Japan, they almost monopolize most of the domestic petrochemical industry.
Therefore, the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry distributed this request directly to these six petrochemical companies.
12 million barrels of crude oil, each petrochemical company needs to find a way to purchase 2 million barrels of crude oil.
Only through large-scale procurement can Japan's economy be stabilized. Otherwise, Japan's economy is bound to suffer heavy losses this year. Economic regression is certain, but it just depends on how much. The current Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry The person in charge also needs to be in control and try not to go backwards too much!
If the deal was completed yesterday, they would be able to purchase these 12 million barrels of crude oil at a price of US$40.8 per barrel, and the final total price would be US$489.6 million.
But today, just one night later, the price has risen to 44.9 US dollars per barrel, 12 million barrels of crude oil, and the final total price has reached 538.8 million US dollars!
The direct price paid is an extra US$49.2 million!
Doesn’t $49.2 million seem like a lot? But if you convert it into Hong Kong dollars, you will find that this is a loss of more than 230 million Hong Kong dollars!
With more than 230 million Hong Kong dollars, you can already buy a large listed company in Hong Kong similar to the former Su Group.
Fortunately, this is the total number of six oil companies. If it were just one of the oil companies, they would not be able to accept it.
What a heavy loss!
The order issued by Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry was an official order, so naturally they did not dare to disobey it.
So, this crude oil must be bought. "Hey, Mr. Tomoko Hedo, you go to Tianwen Oil Company as early as possible today and purchase 2 million barrels of crude oil. Try to trade at yesterday's price. Please!" The president of Japan's Shinichi Mining Group called the person in charge of Xiangjiang, Bian The second son of Duyou.
"Mr. President, what will happen if Tianwen Oil Company disagrees?" Tomoko Hatatari asked directly.
He didn’t want to take the blame. In fact, the biggest reason why the transaction failed yesterday was also the order issued by the head office. Tomoko Hatatari just followed it. He had not yet made a decision. right.
The president of Japan's Xinri Mining Group was silent for a long time, and finally said: "If it doesn't work out, just agree to them. It is impossible for the international crude oil price to come down in a short period of time."
Japan Xinri Mining Group also has a think tank, and they have naturally been studying the future trend of international crude oil prices.
The results of the research are very consistent, that is, once the price rises, it will not fall significantly for at least one year.
After hearing the words of the president of Nippon Mining Group, Tomoko Hatatari hung up the phone with satisfaction.
As a witness to yesterday's negotiations, Tomoko Hatatari knew that it was basically impossible to get Tianwen Oil Company to make concessions.
So, the president of Japan Xinri Mining Group hopes to buy crude oil at yesterday’s oil price. After all, it is just a dream and it is impossible to realize it!
At the same time, in addition to Japan Xinri Mining Group, the same is true for the other five petrochemical companies.
In the morning, at 8:30, Li Yihui once again received the six heads of the Japanese petrochemical company Xiangjiang in the conference room.
"Everyone, I am very sorry to say to you. I stayed at a friend's house last night because I had something to do, so I didn't know why you called me." At the beginning, Li Yihui smiled and apologized to everyone.
Of course, he was actually at home all the time.
It’s just that he didn’t answer the phone calls last night or the unfamiliar numbers!
"Mr. Li, the boss of our company has agreed to your company's trading conditions, but we hope to trade according to yesterday's oil price, and this time our demand has been increased to 2 million barrels!" Dongying Xinri Mining Group Yujiko Hewatari stood up and said.
Whether it works or not is one thing, at least he wants to talk about it.
Otherwise, if the head office knew that he had never mentioned this, he would definitely become the scapegoat.
"Yes, Mr. Li, our president has also agreed to your company's trading conditions, but we hope to trade according to yesterday's oil price, and the purchase volume will also be increased to 2 million barrels!"
"So are we!"
The six responsible persons stated their requirements one after another. These were naturally made by their boss.
After hearing the conditions they proposed, Li Yihui was already mentally prepared.
When he came up to the third floor, he had already guessed what these people were thinking, but he didn't expect that he really guessed it.
“I’m very sorry, gentlemen, our boss has emphasized that our crude oil price can only follow the international oil price. If you think the price is too high, we will not force you. You can find other sources of supply!” Li Yihui Said very forcefully.
Want to negotiate a price? It's impossible!
