"Manager, if we charter a ship, the loss will be even greater!" Yang Jiayan was anxious.

What kind of joke is this?

Originally, he was looking for a transportation company to pass on the risk, but now it's good, Zhao Linchen actually wants to rent a ship to transport oil by himself.

Whether it is transporting Iraqi crude oil or Iranian crude oil, their ships cannot escape the fate of being bombed.

Saudi crude oil?

They are all controlled by European and American oil companies, and most of their tens of thousands of barrels of crude oil per day are transported back from the Red Sea.

"Do you have any other way? In the absence of a transportation company, we can set up a transportation company ourselves!" Zhao Linchen did not want to do this, "Most of our crude oil is transported back from the Persian Gulf. If we ship back from the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico, the cost will make us much less competitive. ”

When the procurement department of Singapore Petroleum Company was in a dilemma with the directors, Xie Kai was also very embarrassed after learning about the situation here.

The other party needs a lot of crude oil, but he has no way to connect with the other party now.

"Well, let's go directly to the people in their company tomorrow morning, and don't have to go through any other channels. Xie Kai thought about it, and said to Zhang Rui, who had a much better attitude, "It's not a shameful thing. Moreover, such a large-scale transaction cannot be completely confidential. ”

"Mr. Xie, it's not a question of whether there is crude oil or not. PetroSingapore is not short of crude oil, but lacks access to get it out of the Persian and Gulf of Oman. Zhang Rui looked at Xie Kai, and the situation had been introduced very clearly.

"Just tell them that we have the ability to transport it safely. And the price is much lower than the international one. Xie Kai naturally knew about this.

From the very beginning, he never thought of trading with users with international crude oil prices.

In such a situation, it is possible to trade with the refining company at a higher price.

Zhang Rui wanted to say something, but was stopped by Tan Lin.

"He clearly didn't know the situation. ”

"You're the one who didn't figure out the situation. He has the ability to transport crude oil safely. Tan Lin shook his head, "Don't go back to your house at all, I'll stay here tonight." ”

After speaking, he pulled Zhang Rui and walked to his room, but Zhang Rui did not object.

"Aren't we going by ourselves?" Mo Qi couldn't guess Xie Kai's thoughts, this kind of thing, it would be more appropriate to talk about it by himself. Tan Lin's trading company joined in, and the commission was one dollar per barrel, which was also tens of millions of dollars. ”

Xie Kai shook his head, "In this case, it is not appropriate for us to come forward on our own. ”

These crude oils were originally traded in arms, and they had to be transferred through multiple parties, making it difficult for people to find out the situation, not to mention that there were many leather bag companies registered in Tan Lin's hands, which were specially used to do these things.

With tens of millions of commissions, there is nothing wrong with that.

Early the next morning, Tan Lin took Zhang Rui and the two to the Singapore Petroleum Company.

The front desk lady hadn't even had time to put down her bag.

"Please find the person in charge of your purchasing department, I have a big business I want to talk to your company. ”

"Do you have an appointment?" The beautiful front desk lady looked at Tan Lin, she didn't look like she was here to talk about big business, if it weren't for the fact that Zhang Rui, who was following him, was dressed like an ordinary person, she had to ask someone to blow Tan Lin out.

Tan Lin shook his head.

Is there a reservation?

"Then are you the person in charge of the transportation company? How many oil tankers does your company have? If there are oil tankers, you can directly transport crude oil to our terminal...... "There are always many small boat owners who have the mind to take risks, and this kind of small boat owners and small transportation companies, that amount of oil can not meet the needs of the company at all.

"No!" Tan Lin was a little angry.

"It's not that you're here to worry about what's going on?" The front desk is also on fire, and there are always some people who have nothing to do.

Running early in the morning to find trouble.

Zhao Linchen almost didn't sleep all night last night, and today he made an appointment with the heads of several transportation companies to talk about things together.

Even OOCL and Universal, two of the world's largest shipping lines, will be participating.

Thinking about how to negotiate with these carriers, knowing their situation, the price of the carriers, will be difficult for them to afford......

"What's wrong?" Zhao Linchen frowned and walked over, is it a small shipping company again?

"Mr. Zhao, this person has not made an appointment and wants to see you......" The front desk lady hurriedly explained.

This kind of thing happens a lot.

Zhao Linchen looked at Tan Lin, "If you want to get our company's transportation contract, please contact our relevant departments directly......"

"I don't want your transportation contract, I have a batch of crude oil in my hand, I don't know if you are interested, it is much lower than the international price. Tan Lin said.

Zhao Linchen couldn't help but be happy.

Smuggled crude oil?

How much can this be?

"Not interested. If it was another time, Zhao Linchen would ask how much the other party had in his hands.

Tens of thousands of barrels of crude oil, what can be done?

It's still smuggling, and if the source is too big, it will cause a lot of trouble for their company.

"We have a way to get crude oil out of the Persian Gulf safely. Tan Lin saw that the other party was leaving, and he didn't care what the other party was the general manager of, so he said directly.

Zhao Linchen stopped and looked at Tan Lin with a serious face, "Really capable?"

The front desk lady laughed, but she didn't say anything, but she just felt funny in her heart.

The Persians were enemies of the whole world, and Iraqi warplanes were also indiscriminately bombing merchant tankers transporting Iranian crude oil and cargo.

"If not, will we come here? Of course, we only have enough capacity to ship our own crude oil. Tan Lin said.

"Please come with me to the office. "Zhao Linchen doesn't care if it's true or not, he always feels that it's right to talk about it first.

From the other party's accent, he heard that the other party was from Chinese mainland, maybe there was really a way.

"I don't know if you have any way to safely transport crude oil out of the Persian Gulf, if the plan is feasible, our crude oil can be handed over to you for transportation. Zhao Linchen made tea for the two of them in the office and went straight to the point. "The price of transportation per barrel can be increased to 80 cents. ”

The situation in front of him, there is no time for him to waste.

"We are not a transport company. Tan Lin smiled, really slamming the door.

Didn't you see, Xie Kai is willing to give a high price of 2~3 US dollars to the transportation company?

Zhao Linchen squinted, looked at Tan Lin, did not speak, but waited for him to continue to explain.

"Iraq's crude oil is in large quantities, so I'm afraid you won't be able to eat it. Tan Lin didn't explain too much, "If you can swallow it, we can deliver it after it is transported out of the Gulf of Oman." ”

Transporting out of the Gulf of Oman and through the Indian Ocean into the Strait of Malacca is risk-free.

Of course, the entire voyage is more than 6,000 kilometers, more than 200,000 tons of large oil tankers, the economic speed is generally in 12~16 knots, even if it is the fastest speed of 16 knots, the sailing speed is only 29.6 kilometers per hour, the complete distance, it takes more than 203 hours, calculated, at least 8 and a half days.

If you add the refueling, the journey through the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman, which is thousands of kilometers, takes at least 15 days.

What's more, not all tankers can run at this speed all the time.

Xie Kai is unlikely to have signed a CIF with PetroSingapore.

Time is already short.

Only in this way can profits be ensured.

"Our refinery needs more than 800,000 barrels of crude oil per day!" Zhao Linchen smiled, "Although the refining capacity was not high before, our new plant will be put into use in less than a month." ”

If not, how could they be so stressed?

Refineries that process more than 500,000 barrels of crude oil per day have a demand for crude oil that keeps executives across the oil company awake at night.

"Really?" Tan Lin also smiled.

Xie Kai demanded that all 36.6 million barrels of crude oil be shipped out within 40 days, and even delivery should be completed.

Aside from the preparation time, at least 1.2 million barrels need to be transported per day.

"1.2 million barrels a day, can you eat it?" Tan Lin's words made the smile on Zhao Linchen's face stiffen.

"Impossible!" Zhao Linchen shook his head, "You can't have the ability to transport so much crude oil." ”

"That's our business. Of course, I'm just an errand runner. Mr. Zhao, if you are interested, you can talk to my boss, and he will tell you whether you have the ability. And this price will be much lower than the international crude oil price. ”

In this case, if Zhao Linchen doesn't know how to decide, he will be a little sorry for his current position.

The first time he saw Xie Kai at the hotel, he felt that he had been fooled.

Xie Kai is too young!

"I'm sorry, I'm busy and don't have time to joke around with you. He laughed in his heart that he was sick and rushed to the doctor.

"Mr. Zhao, you're here, don't you plan to listen to it first?" Xie Kai asked in Mandarin.

He doesn't hide his identity at all.

The translator next to him translated Xie Kai's words in English.

"I don't need a translator, I can understand Mandarin. Zhao Linchen looked at Xie Kai, eager to slap himself, he was played by the other party, who used this way to play himself?

Yang Jiayan?

"36.6 million barrels of crude oil, delivered within a month, price, $38 a barrel. Xie Kai knew that the other party didn't believe in him because he was too young.

Whether he can seize this opportunity or not, let Zhao Linchen make his own choice.

"How did you get it out safely?"

"This is our business, the oil tanker will be delivered when it leaves the Oman Sea, and your company will pay for it!" Xie Kai said calmly, "How about it, can you eat it?"

This is 4~5 US dollars a barrel lower than the international oil price.

It's impossible to say that you don't want to be tempted.

"Internationally, they are all delivered to Hong Kong. Zhao Linchen shook his head, "When we arrive at Hong Kong for delivery, we can deliver it at $40 a barrel." ”

"If that's the case, then there's no need to talk about it. Xie Kai shook his head, "Either we will settle overseas in Oman, or we will not cooperate." ”

When it arrives at the port for delivery, it is simply impossible to sell all the crude oil at a high price.

The crash is less than two months away, and before that, in late September, the US stock market will fall slightly, which will affect the decline in global oil prices.

"Can you eat it?" Xie Kai asked Zhao Linchen again.
