On the way to The Peninsula Excelsior Hotel in Singapore, Lu Jing and Guan Ning had a phone call. It's already a cold winter in the capital, but it's only raining lightly here in Singapore, and the temperature is suitable.

The Peninsula Excelsior Singapore is located in the heart of the city's CBD, lined with skyscrapers. The bar on the top floor offers a beautiful view of the Singapore River in the light rain.

The bar on the top floor was chartered by Lee Yi-je. When Lu Jing, Song Yuqi, Yu Le, and Thirteen came in, only Li Yiji, Xu Yangcheng and their entourage were inside.

"Mr. Luk, let me introduce to you, this is Singapore's Minister of Trade and Industry, Lee Yee Ji. Minister Li, this is Mr. Lu, the decision-maker of Hehua. ”

Xu Yangcheng introduced the two groups of people to each other. After a moment of greetings, everyone sat down. Lu Jing and Li Yiji sat alone in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. Rows of skyscraper rooftops appear in view, varying in height and height.

The waiter at the bar brought twice as much wine.

Li Yiji smiled slightly and shook the wine glass in his hand, "Mr. Lu, this is the first time we have met. But your name is thunderous. This time, Mr. Xu met with you because Mr. Shunzhao Muto of Mitsui & Co. had something he wanted to convey to me. ”

Lu Jing nodded with a smile and took a sip of wine.

Lee Yiji smiled, "President Muto hopes that the Fourth Oil Singapore Company will drop the charges against Mitsui & Co., Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, and Jerun. The conditions, Mr. Lu can be prescribed, and I will convey them to him. ”

Lu Jing smiled, "I'm afraid that President Muto won't accept my conditions, and then I'll have to trouble Minister Li to pass the word." ”

Li Yiji's eyes narrowed slightly, it was expected that Lu Jing wanted the lion to open his mouth, and said with a smile: "It's nothing to trouble." From my point of view. I welcome investment with Hualai in Singapore, and I hope that you can reach an understanding as much as possible. ”

Lu Jing smiled. said indifferently: "Minister Li, my conditions are very simple. The purchase and sale of the debts owed by Fourth Petroleum Singapore to Mitsui & Co. and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation. I think President Muto knows how these debts came about. Minister Li must have heard of it, right? ”

The debt owed by Four Petroleum Singapore to Mitsui & Co. and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation is US$165.7 million. Sumitomo Mitsui Bank owes $22 million. Mitsui & Co. owes $143.7 million.

Li Yiji smiled slightly awkwardly, indicating that he did know. What happened on the land of Singapore, how could the Lee family not know? Lu Jing's negotiation style is sharp.

I silently calculated in my heart, this price is only afraid that Mitsui will have a long time of pain, which is equivalent to spitting out most of the profits eaten from the Fourth Petroleum Singapore Company. However, according to his speculation, Mitsui will most likely not refuse.

If Lu Jing released the mail in his hand to the public, it would be much more lethal. Mitsui has a lot of investments in the republic.

But. It is certainly impossible for Mitsui to pay Hehua for these mails. Mitsui is unlikely to be able to pay for it. Lu Jing's bite was appropriate.

Li Yiji immediately said: "Mr. Lu, I will convey your conditions to President Muto, whether it will be successful or not depends on his meaning." ”

Lu Jing smiled and thanked him and asked, "Minister Li, I learned that the progress of the Fourth Petroleum Singapore Company's acquisition of Singapore Petroleum is a bit slow. Is there a reason I don't know? ”

Li Yiji snorted, "Mr. Lu, I need to understand the situation before I can give you an answer." "He is just here to be an intermediary today, and he has no intention of negotiating with Lu Jing.

Lu Jing smiled and nodded. The ability of the bureaucrats to play Tai Chi. It's the same in all countries of the world.

In fact, as far as Kuài comes to an agreement, there is basically not much room for bargaining. Otherwise, the time to bargain back and forth a few times will be gone. Lu Jing was sure that his offer would make Mitsui agree.

Of course, if Mitsui wants to make a counteroffer. Lu Jing is also willing to drag: you can't pay back the money you owe. I don't believe it, under the current situation, Mitsui dares to sue Fourth Petroleum Singapore in Singapore for not paying its debts.

We're done talking. Li Yiji stood up and shook hands with Lu Jing and said goodbye: "Mr. Lu, I still have some official business to deal with. I beg your pardon. I'd like you to have a drink at my Australian estate another day. ”

Lu Jing also smiled and said, "Okay." Minister Li is busy with official business, so we'll talk about it another day. "Li Yiji is now going to do his best to report the results to Mitsui. Where is there time to make small talk with him. Lu Jing understands this. He also hopes that before returning to the capital, it is best to have a result.

Li Yiji smiled heartily, and walked with Lu Jing to the position where the attachés were sitting, and said meaningfully as he walked: "Mr. Lu, you are very low-key." You can't see any messages from you in the media. ”

In the news that Fourth Petroleum Singapore almost collapsed due to huge losses in oil futures derivatives trading, the name of Hehua Company did not appear many times, but only appeared as an investor.

There is not a word in the report about Lu Jing. It is impossible for people who don't know the inside story to know that the real helmsman is the young man in front of him.

Lu Jing smiled, "I'm looking forward to becoming friends with Minister Li, so that we can get to know each other without going through the media." ”

Both he and Lee Yi-ji have investigated each other. It's just that Li Yiji can't investigate much of his information. After all, he is not the son of a family that is active in the political arena.

Li Yiji smiled and said, "I'm also looking forward to becoming friends with Mr. Lu." ”

Overall, the first meeting with Li Yiji was very pleasant. Li Yiji only acted as an intermediary, but Lu Jing hoped to establish a personal relationship with him in the future. After all, Lee is likely to be the future ruler of Singapore's government.

"How did you talk to Xu Yangcheng?" In the business car leaving the Peninsula Excelsior Hotel, Lu Jing asked his assistant.

Song Yuqi had a bad impression of Xu Yangcheng, and said softly: "Slippery one." ”

Yu Ledao: "Although Xu Yangcheng is the executive director and vice president of Temasek, I think that if Hehua wants to invest in Singapore, this person is not worth befriending. Because he is not a member of the Li family, he has no responsibility to do things. ”

Lu Jing smiled and nodded, "This opinion, you file." Go back and give a copy to the heart blue hair. This old friend of hers is not a friend. It is better to keep your distance. ”

After pondering for a while, Yu Le asked, "Lu Jing, what's going on with Jierun Company?" Does Fourth Oil Singapore need to drop the prosecution of it? ”

"There's no way around it if you don't give up. We don't have Goldman Sachs in our hands. The evidence found now is only Mitsui's. As for Zhong Sibo's recording, because some time ago the media focused fire on Mitsui. Goldman Sachs still has a lot to do to deny it. Lu Jing said with some regret.

Song Yuqi smiled and said: "I see, Mitsui wants to take the matter of prosecuting Jierun as an add-on, and it is estimated that it is also to curry favor with the Americans." However, the acquisition of Singapore Petroleum by the Fourth Petroleum Singapore Company was a bit troublesome. ”

Lu Jing smiled slightly, and said confidently: "It's not much." Assuming that PetroSingapore does not sell its shares, it is only a matter of time before PetroChina Singapore can develop the upstream and downstream industries of oil refining. ”

Yu Leshun Lu Jing's words smiled and said, "So, Sister Yuqi, the key question now is that Mitsui and Goldman Sachs have suffered such a big loss, what is their reaction?" ”

Song Yuqi smiled and said, "Isn't this obvious? The oil futures contracts in the hands of the Fourth Petroleum Singapore Company, Goldman Sachs and Mitsui will definitely not let us close the position. ”

Lu Jing smiled and sighed, "So, if Mitsui & Co.'s Muto Shunzhao agrees to my terms, at most, the crisis of the Fourth Oil Singapore Company will be resolved." The real battle has just begun. I went back to Beijing to attend a friend's wedding. ”

Song Yuqi and Yu Le both laughed. Then, Yu Le deliberately lamented and said: "You can still go back to the capital to rest for a few days, but unfortunately we still have to work overtime in Singapore." ”

Lu Jing smiled, "Isn't Kou Xiaoman coming to Singapore to see you soon?" I'll give you a few days off. ”

"Don't, you better arrange for me to work overtime." Yu Le hurriedly waved his hand, with a tangled expression.

Song Yuqi held Lu Jing's shoulder and giggled: Yu Le and Kou Xiaoman are happy enemies, and they will definitely quarrel when they meet, but the two have never broken up, but there is a tendency to get married.

Lu Jing shook his head with a smile, Kou Xiaoman's temperament..., Yu Le, this kid has suffered in his life, and asked, "Yuqi, when will Fu Jie arrive in Singapore?" ”

Yesterday, he asked Song Yuqi to contact Fu Jie. If Chen Jiulin leaves the Fourth Petroleum Singapore Company, the first name that can really make him feel at ease to take on the heavy responsibility is Fu Jie, who used to be the general manager of the Third Petroleum Group.

"Mr. Fu's plane arrived in Singapore at about five o'clock this afternoon."

Lu Jing thought for a moment and ordered, "Yuqi, hold an internal drinking party in the Lido Hotel tonight to entertain Fu Jie." By the way, let everyone relax too. It's been a hard time. ”

…

…

In the office of Mitsui & Co.'s Singapore office, Muto Shunzhao looked at the blank paper in front of him with a sad brow.

Li Yiji had already conveyed Lu Jing's conditions to him. On the white paper, he enumerated the impact of accepting and not accepting the conditions of peace on him.

No, once Lu Jing publishes the content of the email in the media, Mitsui & Co. will definitely become a scapegoat for the heavy losses suffered by Mitsui & Co. in the Republic. Of course, Lu Jing's choice of this plan must be a lose-lose situation.

Accepting that nearly $170 million in debt will be forgiven in this way, he is unwilling to say that his performance this year will be greatly affected. It is likely to affect his position within Mitsui & Co.

After pondering for a long time, Muto Shunzhao still had no clue, and walked around the office irritably. Suddenly, his eyes fell on the word "Jierun" on the white paper, and his heart suddenly opened, and he said excitedly: "Yo Xi." Jierun, how can you stay out of it? ”

Muto Shunzhao dialed the phone number of one of the original founders. (To be continued......)
