"Tianyu, what's wrong?"

Qiao Dahua, who was drowsy on the side, was also woken up by Little Fat Face and Qiao Tianyu, and he glanced out in a daze, "Oh, it's a crude oil ship from Huaxia." ”

However, it didn't seem surprising to see Qiao Dahua's reaction, it was obvious that he should know what was going on.

Seeing this, Qiao Tianyu hurriedly dragged Qiao Dahua and asked him what was going on with these Huaxia crude oil ships, why did they come so many at once.

"Hey, what's so strange about that. Qiao Dahua said lightly, "Recently, international oil prices have plummeted, from $23 a barrel to $12. ”

"Oh, I see. Qiao Tianyu nodded, it seemed that it was just an ordinary international oil trade, he thought about it too much.

According to OPEC statistics, the Middle East's oil reserves account for 61.5% of the world's proven reserves, with a total of about 742 billion barrels (about 100.2 billion tons).

The countries around the Persian Gulf are also the places with the largest concentration of major oil producers in the world, among which Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates rank second to sixth in the world in terms of oil reserves.

Dubai is located on the coast of the Persian Gulf, and is a natural deep-water port, which is convenient for docking hundreds of thousands of tons of giant ships, so every year countless black gold - oil is loaded from here and shipped to the world, which also establishes Dubai's status as an oil export center.

In China, although many large oil fields have been surveyed in China in recent years, oil production has not been high, coupled with the rapid development of the economy after opening up, the demand for petroleum products has skyrocketed, so it needs to import a large amount of crude oil from Russia, the Middle East and other countries every year.

"Uncle, how much fuel does such a big ship have to carry?" asked the little chubby face with a wink, curious.

"This kind of crude oil ships are all super large tonnage, at least 100,000 tons of bottoming, I think these ships outside, it should be 250,000 tons. Qiao Dahua explained.

"Oh my God! A ship can carry 250,000 tons of crude oil, I roughly counted it just now, there are dozens of them, this time Huaxia can be big!" exclaimed the little chubby face.

"Hair big?" Qiao Dahua sneered, a strange expression flashed across his face, but it quickly disappeared, "I hope so!"

However, this scene was captured by the careful Qiao Tianyu, and he chuckled in his heart, what did Qiao Dahua's sneer mean?

"By the way, uncle, why are you so familiar with the crude oil business?" The little chubby face is like a child who has no experience in the world, and he keeps asking questions without heart and lungs.

"Haha, Ke Ying, you can be regarded as asking the right person!"

At this time, the business class they were taking happened to pass by an endless area of huge white oil storage tanks, and Qiao Dahua pointed to those oil storage tanks and said proudly.

"Ke Ying, Tianyu, have you seen it? This large oil storage tank farm, the total reserves can rank among the top three in the world, hehe, most of them are mine, your uncle and I are in the crude oil business!"

I see!

Qiao Dahua is actually in the crude oil business, no wonder he is so rich!

Seeing Qiao Tianyu and Xiao Chubby Face's shocked appearance, Qiao Dahua began to show off again, saying how he did his best to do the right oil business after coming to Dubai, which led to today's achievements and so on.

Seeing that Qiao Dahua was so familiar with Dubai, Qiao Tianyu suddenly had an idea, why not ask him about what he saw at Dubai Airport at noon to see if he knew the inside story.

When Qiao Dahua was almost bragging about it, Qiao Tianyu hurriedly interjected, otherwise Qiao Dahua would talk endlessly, "Uncle, there is something I want to ask you about." ”

"What's the matter, you say?" said Giodahua, with great interest.

Qiao Tianyu told Qiao Dahua everything that happened in the three hours from the time the plane entered Dubai at noon today to the time they got off the plane.

"This ......" Qiao Dahua suddenly lowered his voice after hearing this, and said mysteriously, "Tianyu, you haven't told anyone else about this, have you?"

"No, we were picked up by you as soon as we got out of the airport, and we didn't mention it to anyone. Qiao Tianyu was a little curious, what could make Qiao Dahua so nervous.

"Tianyu, in Dubai, there are a lot of taboos, and this is one of them. Qiao Dahua lowered his voice vigorously, as if he was afraid of being heard, "Do you know what those Mi-26 helicopters are transporting?"

"What?" Qiao Tianyu and Chubby Face's eyes widened and asked curiously.

"Gold!" said Qiao Dahua nervously.

"Gold?" Qiao Tianyu and Little Fat Face were dumbfounded, what about dozens of Mi-26s, how much gold do you have to transport?

"5,000 tons!" said Qiao Dahua in a low voice.

"5,000 tons of ?!!!" Qiao Tianyu went crazy on the spot when he heard it.

What does 5,000 tonnes of gold mean?

In 1994, the world's total annual gold production was about 2,000 tons, and this time 5,000 tons of gold were transported, which is equivalent to the world's total gold production in two and a half years!

Oh my God!

Now Qiao Tianyu finally understands why he has to use so many military aircraft to guard against it, that is the world's total gold production in two years!

"Dubai is the world's freight hub, and Dubai's largest cargo in addition to crude oil transportation is gold transportation. Qiao Dahua then explained.

"However, in the past, the amount of gold transported and transferred was only a few tons, and at most dozens of tons were up to the sky, but this time it is 5,000 tons to be transported, which is simply explosive news in Dubai!"

"I heard that after the news leaked out, many non-** armed forces in the Middle East are coveting the gold, and countries around the world have also sent intelligence agencies to fight the idea of the gold, so the seller has no choice but to spend a lot of money to send mercenaries to protect the safety of the gold. Qiao Dahua said.

"Uncle, 5,000 tons of gold, converted into nearly 70 billion US dollars, who has the strength to buy so much gold at one time?" asked Chubby Face in surprise.

"I don't know. Qiao Dahua shook his head and said.

"In the business of buying and selling physical gold, the buyer generally does not show up, otherwise it will be known who bought so much gold, and he will not be comfortable with showing his wealth?"

"Oh, too. Chubby nodded in agreement.

"Haha, okay, okay, let's not talk about people, let's get to the ground, kids, get off!"

As he spoke, the business class had stopped in front of an office building, which seemed to be the office building of the oil storage tank farm.

After Qiao Tianyu and the others got out of the car, a staff member took them into the office building, and after a careful body search, they came to an elevator room in the innermost part of the building.

Swipe the card to enter, the elevator went down, ran for a while before stopping, and at this time the elevator showed that it was already 56 meters underground.

"Haha, Tianyu, welcome home!"

The moment the elevator door was opened, Qiao Tianyu was completely stunned by the scene in front of him......
