Chapter 766: The Troubles of the Kozmo Oil Company!

Lin Yu knew in his previous life that Americans' hobby of airplanes is also world-famous, because of the vast territory, even in a country like the United States, where the highway is high, there are many places that are difficult to reach, because this kind of aircraft has the characteristics of lightness, safety, low use requirements, can take off and land on grass, easy to operate, low price and other characteristics undoubtedly meet this demand. (1_1) And this light aircraft can be widely used in private flights, business flights, commercial transportation, air tours, aerial photography, emergency rescue and so on. Plus flying clubs in the United States are spread all over the country. Thousands, many Americans, are qualified to fly small aircraft, and the number of such light aircraft in the United States is considerable. Some farmers, corporate magnates, and business tycoons even use these light planes to commute to work. ，

Lin Yu shook his head, there is a large amount of free airspace in the sky of the United States, which can be used by pilots. But in China, this kind of aircraft has become a complete ornament, and the sky belongs to the aviation industry and the military. For any flight, it is impossible to get approval for the route without applying for a route ten days and a half months in advance. And there has to be a way to do it. Moreover, the import of business aircraft, various taxes and fees are also extremely high, plus the number of domestic airports is limited. So until 2,000 years later, there are very few people who actually own private jets in China. Lin Yu was not interested in bringing back an ornament. Moreover, Lin Yu has his own special plane, so he is not interested in such an aircraft. However, looking at Cameron's appearance, he seems to be very interested in this light aircraft. If this is the case, in the future, it is better to give him a business plane such as "Gulfstream" or "Challenger", which can not only satisfy his self-piloting**, but also facilitate his travel in the United States.

Lin Yu remembered that this kind of business jet ranged from three or four million yuan to hundreds of millions of yuan, and he didn't have to be too extravagant, just buy him about 10 million yuan first. For a person who can bring himself billions of dollars in profits, it is not okay to be too stingy. Just wrap him in. It's a cash cow! In Lin Yu's mind, there are several classics that can be directed by him.

Cameron didn't know that Lin Yu was having such a thought in his heart, and he still showed him the attractions outside the window with great interest.

……

The next day, Lin Yu flew from Los Angeles Airport to the Middle East.

}

October 1991. After receiving Lin Yu's support, Iraq launched another war of invasion of Kuwait on October 27, turning Kuwait into the nineteenth province of Iraq.

At the end of July 1991, negotiations between Iraq and Kuwait were halted, and Iraq stationed a large number of troops on the Kuwaiti border. Hussein summoned U.S. Ambassador April? Glasspi had a four-eye conversation. In this conversation, Saddam Hussein expressed his anger at Kuwait, but said that he would not use force against Kuwait until further negotiations were held. Glaspi said the United States was concerned about the concentration of Iraqi forces on the Iraqi-Kuwait border, but some Iraqis misinterpreted Glaspie's remarks as the United States allowing Iraq to invade Kuwait, and Glaspi said the United States was "neutral to intra-Arab disputes, such as the border dispute between Iraq and Kuwait." To emphasize this. She also said "(U.S. Secretary of State) James? Baker instructed our spokesmen to emphasize this".

Although Glaspie left the diplomatic community shortly thereafter, the United States stated that she was doing everything by the rules and that she had not complained to Saddam Hussein? President Hussein expressed the United States' approval of Iraq's invasion of Kuwait. But Saddam may have misunderstood the American point of view at this time. Shortly before that, the United States had agreed to German reunification, and for Saddam Hussein, it was also the removal of an inherently erroneous domestic border. Other analysts argue that this delusion does not exist. Saddam simply underestimated the strength of the United States and therefore did not seriously consider the attitude of the United States.

In November 1989, CIA Director William ? Webster meets with the head of Kuwaiti agents. Following Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, it claimed to have obtained a memorandum of understanding for the meeting. The Washington Post reported that the Kuwaiti foreign minister fainted when he saw the memorandum at the Arab summit in August '90. The memorandum was later used by Iraq as a justification for alleging that the CIA and Kuwait were plotting to destabilize Iraq's economy and politics.

Iraq's invasion of Kuwait has once again caused the international crude oil price to rise, and. The supply of crude oil to countries around the world has also been reduced a lot, after all, Kuwait is now at war, who has the time to take care of crude oil.

And at this time in the spacious office of the purchasing department of Kozmo Petroleum. All the members of the office looked at the minister's office like frightened birds. Shimoji Sato was roaring loudly inside. Although they couldn't hear what they were talking about, they could guess from the constant "Yaga" in Sato's mouth that it was definitely not good news.

Since the invasion of Kuwait by Iraq in the Middle East, Shimoji Sato, who was originally polite to his subordinates, seems to have changed as if he has changed a person, not only has a lot of temper, but also has a much harsher requirements for these subordinates. Even Sato Shimoji has always been fond of them, the flower of their office. The famous beauty secretary of the Kozmo oil company, Satomiko Matsushita, was also severely criticized by Shimoji Sato the day before yesterday because of a trivial matter, according to relevant sources, the day before yesterday Satomiko Matsushita. However, Minister Shimoji Sato worked overtime until late at night before he was allowed to go home.

As for what exactly was done overtime, the men in the office all had a lewd smile on their faces.

"You know, when Satomiko came home, she had a hard time walking. So the next morning, I didn't come to work on time," a female employee said to her companion mysteriously.

"It's not to blame the minister, I heard that the president is very dissatisfied with our procurement department not being able to purchase enough crude oil this month, and Minister Sato must be under a lot of pressure." Some people don't think so.

"It's not just a lot of pressure, have you heard, our competitor, the head of the purchasing department of the oil company, was kicked out of other departments the day before yesterday because of poor procurement." There are well-informed people.

"Really?"

"Really?" Everyone asked in surprise. For refiners like theirs, a purchasing department. A sales department, that is a good position that can not be fatter, and there is a vacancy in the upper level of a county, and the leaders of these two departments are the easiest to promote. If you say that if you are transferred to another department, even if it is the name of an ordinary vice president, it may be a demotion in disguise.

"Of course it's true, the oil company is miserable this time, not only did it not get enough crude oil contracts, but what is more troublesome is that a considerable part of their original contracts were supplied by Kuwait Oil Company, and now Kuwait is occupied by Iraq, and there is chaos there. Who has the heart to fulfill a contract? So it is said that the gap is quite large! The man said proudly, "This is inside information, and the oil company has not officially announced it yet." ”

"What are you all doing together? Don't hurry up to work, oil, immediately find me oil! Whoever can't find enough oil will have their salary halved this month! Sato Shimoji roared like thunder in the minister's room, and immediately everyone in the office scattered like birds and beasts.

In the past few days, Sato Shimoji has been driven crazy by this oil, seeing that the price of this oil is the same every day, but the amount of oil sold in the futures market every day is a drop in the bucket! That little bit of crude oil is to be eyed by the world's major refining companies, and Kozmo Petroleum is only the third in Japan, and it is easy to imagine how difficult it is to pull teeth from the tiger's mouth. These days, I have only grabbed a few futures contracts with a total amount of only more than $30 million. The procurement department and Southeast Asia and China import oil negotiations are still ongoing, from the current situation, want to obtain a large amount of oil in a short period of time, the situation is not optimistic, today's crude oil production enterprises, generally reluctant to sell, no contract, want to get an extra barrel of oil from them, it is not easy. But this is also a normal thing, as long as you hold the crude oil in your hand for a few more days, you may sell for one to two dollars more per barrel of oil, this kind of beautiful thing, who wouldn't do it!

He had already heard that the purchasing director of the Japan Petroleum Corporation had been transferred to the propaganda department, and although his rank had not been reduced, everyone understood that he had been thrown into the cold palace and his future was worrisome. If you can't change your current situation in the near future, then your present is your future.

Thinking of this, Shimoji Sato walked around the minister's room like a hungry dog in distress. He had to find a breakthrough and buy enough oil as soon as possible, otherwise his future at Kozmo Oil would be at the end of it. I am already nearly 50 years old, and once I am adjusted to an irrelevant department by the company, it is more difficult than climbing to the sky. And in that case, it will also have a great impact on your retirement income in the future. So he couldn't allow that to happen!

But now he is full of strength, and he doesn't know where to go. The United Nations has already adopted a resolution on imposing economic sanctions against Iraq and immediately began to implement it, and in the future, there will be no oil supply from Iraq and Kuwait, and the oil supply in the world oil market will be greatly reduced, while Saudi Arabia and other OPEC oil producers are still chattering about whether to immediately increase oil production.
