100 million barrels!

The word "Hundred Million" exploded like a bomb, startling Satmuzi, the white turban on his head seemed to arch towards the sky, and his eyes widened.

Not only was Satemuqi's heart beating suddenly, but even his bodyguards and David beside Wu Qian were stunned.

This amount is really amazing, even if a country wants to reserve so much oil, it needs to make careful planning around this project, and it may need to be laid out years in advance.

"Haha...... Haha, hahaha......"

Satmuzi smiled unnaturally, his cheeks twitching and the corners of his eyes jumped.

"Wu, do you know what 100 million barrels of oil is?"

A little bloodshot appeared on Satmuqi's eyeballs, and he didn't know if it was because there was big business coming to him, he was excited, or he was angry by the other party's "ignorance".

Wu Qian didn't know why Satmuzi reacted so much, he spread his hands and said: "I just saw a news that the world's consumption of about 110 million barrels of oil a day is just this concept. ”

"Oh, it's not much, 100 million barrels is enough for our country for seven or eight days, it's nothing. ”

Wu Qian said angrily.

"Uh......"

Satmuzi was really speechless this time, he regretted a little why he didn't bring a negotiator here, and met an unreasonable and inhumane guy who actually wanted to reserve the crude oil used by the whole world for a day.

The International Energy Agency has long proposed that a country's oil reserve security line is 90 days, that is, if all import channels are cut off and self-sufficiency, it must meet the supply of crude oil for 90 days.

And the Celestial Empire has not yet reached this standard and is working towards it.

Wu Qian looked at the news released to the public in 2018, the reserves of the Celestial Empire are about seventy days, slightly lower than the ninety day safety line, this is not the most important, the most important thing is that the island country in the neighboring position, the strategic reserve of oil, actually reached one hundred and fifty days!

It's very annoying.

"Wu, my friend, if you have difficulties at hand, or don't want to help me, you can just say, I don't mind, we are still good friends, there is really no need to make such jokes......"

Satmuqi felt that his mind was in a mess, he didn't know how to proceed with the negotiations, and he suspected that Wu Qian was deliberately finding fault and making things difficult for him.

Wu Qian frowned and said, "Satmuqi, do you think I'm joking?"

Satmuqi smiled and said: "Wu, even if you are not joking with me, do you know how big a place is needed to store 100 million barrels of crude oil, it is a huge project, could it be that you have already bought a few islands and are ready to use them to reserve oil?"

Wu Qian shook his head and said, "When did I say I was going to store it myself?"

As Satmuzi said, without strong strength, where can we hold this kind of energy that is coveted by all countries.

Wu Qian is planning to cooperate with the country, so he must get enough amount, otherwise the country will not look down on him.

"Satmuzi, I repeat, I'm not joking, not the slightest bit of a joke. 100 million barrels is not too little, 200 million barrels is not too much, cash payment, no delay, no arrears!"

"If you don't believe me, I can ask the housekeeper in England to send me the shares of Harrods and Thames Water, which are valued at about 9 billion pounds in the market, and can afford to buy 200 million barrels of oil!"

100 million barrels of oil is only 6 billion dollars, which is only more than 4 billion pounds sterling, as for the joke?

Satmuzi waved his hand repeatedly, muttering words like "sorry" in his mouth, but he was shouting in his heart.

"It's oil, oil! not olive oil, peanut oil!"

Saudi Arabia now produces about 10 million barrels of oil a day, and according to Wu Qian's intentions, it wants to take away 10 days of their country's output......

How much oil is produced per day, who is sold to whom, this is all planned and deployed, if the supply is suddenly cut off for ten days, it is unimaginable!

Those countries must not make a fuss!

"Wu, it's me who is wrong, I believe you are not embarrassing me, but I think you definitely don't understand the specific concept of 100 million barrels of oil, let me tell you about it. ”

Satmuqi decided to teach Wu Qian a lesson, correct Wu Qian's ideological concepts, and not make decisions too arbitrarily.

"The 'Ocean Symphony' is the largest tonnage sightseeing cruise ship, but it is not the largest tonnage transport tanker, the largest tonnage tanker is the 'Nock Nevis', which can hold 650,000 cubic meters of crude oil when fully loaded, that is, more than a fraction of four million barrels. ”

"100 million barrels will take 25 'Nock Nevis' to be able to transport them all! But there is only one 'Nock Nevis' in the world, that is to say, more than 40 supertankers with a load of more than 160,000 tons are needed to transport 100 million barrels of oil!"

As he spoke, Satmuzi turned on the projector with a remote control, and then paused the scene in the opening scene of the blue sea.

"Wu, imagine what kind of picture it is to have forty or fifty supertankers with a body length of more than two hundred sailing side by side on this vast sea, isn't it too outrageous......

"As another example, last year, your country imported only 400 million barrels of crude oil from our country...... Do you understand what I mean?"

Like a good teacher, Satmuzi looked at Wu Qian with sincere eyes, hoping that Wu Qian would change his mind.

"I see. Wu Qian put down his wine glass and said: "Satmuzi, we are good friends, even if you refuse to help me, I will not stand idly by and watch your difficulties, 'Ocean Symphony' I will pay 800 million US dollars." ”

Satmuqi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, thankfully, the other party finally stopped dwelling on the issue of crude oil, but unfortunately he couldn't be happy in the face of the price given by Wu Qian.

"800 million is too low, Wu, don't let me lose so much, I'll make the biggest concession in one step, one billion dollars, how about it?"

The price of a billion dollars is indeed fair, and if it were not for the possibility of jail time due to debt, Satmuzi would not have been able to sell the "Ocean Symphony" at this price.

Wu Qian nodded and said, "You sell me 100 million barrels of oil, and I will buy your cruise ship for 1.2 billion dollars!"

Satmuzi's temples jumped suddenly, he almost jumped up, didn't Made, didn't Mad, why did he turn it back again, endlessly!

He thought that Wu Qian was grinding foreign workers, but in fact he was not.

Wu Qian put down his wine glass, picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, stood up, and said: "The price difference of 400 million US dollars, Satmuqi, for every 10 million barrels of crude oil you sell me, I will increase by 40 million US dollars in cruise ships, where can you find such a good business!"

"As far as I know, Lennon Sergei also exports a lot of oil from his country, and maybe if I cooperate with him in the arms business, he will be happy to find someone to sell me crude oil. ”

"If you have money in your pocket, you can always buy what you want to buy, don't you say?"
