Chapter 596: The Oil Merchant Who Repented of His Intestines
Hundreds of large oil fields in the world's major oil-producing countries have been hit by hurricanes from seamounts, and hundreds of hurricanes over category 13 have wreaked havoc on major oil fields. ±.
Because the oil fields are drilled in plain areas or at sea, there are no mountains or hills around them to block the degree of storms, so this directly leads to the unhindered arrival of a Category 13 hurricane on the oil fields.
The most damaging thing is that in order to maximize the power of the hurricane, Hilong used his soul power to fuel the flames, so that the thirteenth hurricane completely turned into a tornado.
Some time ago, I saw a news that there was a ten-level tornado somewhere in the magnesium country, and the towering trees that required three people to pack were uprooted, and the houses made of reinforced concrete were completely destroyed.
Nowadays, the hurricane manufactured by Hilong is thirteen, and it is also a tornado, which is more powerful, on the other hand, the equipment on the oil field is not as stable as the adult tree rooted in the soil, hundreds of pumping units are all over the plain area or the sea, and the staff dormitory built of cement and concrete is on the side.
As the tornadoes passed in various places, all the equipment was destroyed, but fortunately, it was the time to get off work, coupled with the timely notification, the personnel evacuated the scene early, so that there were no casualties.
Listening to the sound on the radio, the faces of many oil merchants on Anthony's ship turned dead, the dead and the undead had nothing to do with them, they only cared about themselves.
At this time, the tanker had already come to the Persian Gulf, looking at the tornado raging in the bay, not to mention replenishing oil, it was impossible to even dock.
Looking at the completely destroyed oil field equipment in the distance, this group of oil merchants only knew that something really happened to them this time.
Anthony also saw this situation, and now all the oil merchants are looking at themselves, and Anthony knows that they want to make themselves clear, except for Saudi Arabia. The severity of the damage to the oil fields in other areas, and whether the oil can be supplied.
Anthony said to the crowd, "Everyone, don't be impatient, I'll call and ask." After speaking, Anthony took out his mobile phone and called the oil tycoons of various countries.
Despite the hopeful gaze in the eyes of these oil merchants, their dreams were doomed to be shattered, and when Anthony had called everyone, every oil tycoon apologized to tell Anthony that the oil fields had been completely destroyed. In the future, even if the hurricane stops, it will take a lot of time to rebuild the equipment in the oil field if you want to resume production.
Unexpectedly, such a situation would suddenly appear, Anthony raised his head helplessly and said to the people in front of him: "I'm sorry, the world's oil fields have been destroyed, and none of the oil fields can still provide oil." ”
Hearing Anthony's words, everyone sat in their chairs, not knowing what to do. The oil fields are all tornadoes, what are they talking about buying oil, if they can't buy oil, how can they explain to their next family. You know, most of them are just middlemen, buying oil from all over the world and shipping it to other countries to sell.
There is also a sale and purchase agreement, if the oil cannot be transported in accordance with the contract. They also have to pay liquidated damages, which they have just paid once in Somalia and are already stretched thin, and they will pay liquidated damages again this time. The amount of money paid is definitely not as humane as Somalia, and it can be settled by only giving tens of millions.
The reason why they left Somalia is because as a middleman, the price difference is too big, and they feel that they make too little money, so Anthony is just a little flirtatious, and this group of businessmen can't sit still.
Seeing the price difference of more than 2ooo US dollars per 100,000 tons of crude oil, who can sit still, they all think that Somalia is making money and is black-hearted, so when they leave, the oil merchants ridiculed Somalia.
It's just that this group of oil merchants didn't expect that after they offended Somalia severely, the final result was like this, and now everyone's intestines are repentant.
If it's just an oil field, the key is to listen to the radio in your hand, the announcer said that all the oil fields in the world have been hit by hurricanes of magnitude 13 or above, so where do they go to buy oil?
Just when everyone didn't know how to face it, suddenly a businessman said in surprise: "Everyone, pay attention, did you hear it just now, although the announcer said that there are hurricanes in many places, but in Somalia, everyone has noticed, there are no hurricanes in Somalia, we can still go back to Somalia to buy oil." ”
Hearing the words of this businessman, everyone's hearts sank to the bottom, if they really want to go back to Somalia, how can they have the face to go back, when they left, the cruel words of their own people and the angry expressions of Somali high-ranking officials after hearing the words, as if they had just been born, how could the Somalis sell them oil again.
In recent years, the price of oil has soared from more than 3o dollars a barrel to 1oo dollars a barrel, and the value has tripled.
Seeing such a huge profit, the oil merchants will only buy more ships and load more oil back to China, and what to do if they have no money, of course, they will go to the bank for a loan.
We all know that the price of doing this business is high, and the bank is naturally willing to lend, but who can imagine this sudden situation, the oil merchants can't imagine it, but the banker thinks of it, and there is a clause on the loan, if you can't repay the loan on time, you can use the oil tanker to pay off the debt.
If you can't repay the loan, the bank will not talk to you about the favor, detain your oil tanker according to the requirements of the contract, and then hold an auction, and in the end the bank will never lose money, and after the wind and waves can continue to do oil trading, and then lend the money to other oil merchants, so that you can make a profit, more cost-effective.
In the end, it was only the middlemen who suffered from these loans, and there was no way for everyone to blame Anthony for this matter, after all, Anthony was also kind, and there was cheap oil for everyone to buy, and if they complained, they could only complain about natural disasters.
The many oil merchants on Anthony's ship looked at each other, completely unsure of how to deal with such a situation.
An oil merchant said helplessly: "Everyone said, we are going back to Somalia now, is it possible for Somalia to sell us oil?" ”
If you think about it with your cerebellum, it is impossible for Somalia to sell them oil anymore, after all, it is these mercenary businessmen who tear up the contract, and it is also these untrustworthy villains who let go of cruel words.
None of the businessmen sitting on the boat answered the culture of the oil merchant, and everyone bowed their heads and muttered for a long time, and finally, one of them said: "Let's go together, let's go to Somalia together, go to ask for a seamount, maybe there is still a chance, otherwise, we will really go bankrupt, and I would rather not have this face than bankruptcy." ”
Listening to the oil merchant's words, everyone nodded together and said, "Okay, then let's go back together." "At this time, even Anthony has no way to dissuade these businessmen from buying oil, after all, the world is big, and it is not as good as his own interests.
Anthony did not persuade these people, and let these businessmen fly to Somalia, looking at the group of people who were far away, Anthony had a solemn expression on his face, but he laughed in his heart.
Anthony thought in his heart: "A bunch of fools, it's just to scold when you go, since the world's oil fields have problems except Somalia, then Somalia's oil is the focus of the world's scramble, this time is already a game between countries, you small businessmen are going to make do with something, looking for death." ”
Shaking his head helplessly, Anthony has already swung his role to the extreme, but there is such a natural disaster**, it is not something that Anthony can control.
Since he couldn't control it, Anthony didn't care about that matter, and happily returned to the magnesium country with the ship.
Just as the president of the magnesium country, Obama, was happily dancing with the beautiful president of Chile in the ball, a bombshell hit, and the intelligence minister received the information from the secretary, and looked at the dancing Obama with complicated eyes.
This dance has just begun, and if it is to end, it will take at least twenty minutes, and the Minister of Intelligence really can't wait, just as the Minister of Intelligence is about to go to the dance floor to pull Obama away, but he is blocked by the Minister of Defense next to him.
Looking at the Minister of Intelligence with an anxious face on his face, the Minister of Defense said with a smile: "Beautiful lady, don't worry about this matter, since we are born, we just have to face it bravely, and it will not be short of twenty minutes." ”
Hearing the words of the Minister of Defense, the Minister of Intelligence reacted that he must not enter the dance floor at this time, otherwise, something would happen, and he glanced at the Minister of Defense gratefully and quietly said thank you.
With the end of the last action, Obama happily danced this ballroom dance with the beautiful president of Chile, and when the two released the hand held on each other's waist, Obama said to the beautiful president with a charming smile: "Beautiful young lady, you are really charming today." ”
The beautiful president smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment." After speaking, her pretty face turned red for no reason.
Although she is over 4o years old, the beautiful president of Chile is like a girl less than 3o years old, especially the blushing face, which makes Obama lose his mind for no reason, which directly causes Obama's hand on the other party's waist to be withdrawn for a long time.
When he heard a heavy cough, Obama noticed his situation and embarrassedly pulled the beautiful president back to his seat. (To be continued!)
