"The factory director, the exploration team of Wajima, has been captured by the Hazas."

Xu Fei arranged for people to pour the crude oil, returned to his temporary camp, and summoned engineers to continue building fortifications.

Radars, bunkers, watchtowers, fences, ......

In the busyness, I received the report of the third secretary and was slightly stunned.

"And this good thing?"

"Shall we contact the Mullahs of the Hadza and get them out?"

"It's my business."

During this period, Afghanistan was the most dangerous area in the world.

Although the whole is divided into the Northern Alliance and the Southern Tully, due to different races, different beliefs, and different interests, the two groups are also full of various strife.

And for outsiders......

All pagans are invaders.

Including Lan Feng running to sell cars, if it weren't for Harden to take care of him, and there were fifty Navy SEALs around him, it is estimated that the grave would have grown grass.

It is precisely because of this war and extremism, coupled with the lack of local resources, that there are no peacekeeping corps, no humanitarian aid, and no embassy in Afghanistan.

If outsiders go here to explore, in addition to bringing their own weapons to defend themselves, they also have to say hello to the destination and the big and small forces along the way, and pay a huge amount of money as a deposit.

When Lan Feng came, he met Mullah Baldik, a Hazar man, through Harden, and was able to enter Hazara to do business.

The Wajima exploration team, including the exploration teams of other countries, came in a hurry, and there was no pier, so they were naturally taken captive.

And his own "plan out of nothing" is a big deal, one is not good, Director Xu is very likely to be ruined, so he didn't dare to bring "Renip" to play together.

Now the Wajima experts who came to explore have been taken captive......

"What I want!"

The third secretary clenched his fists slightly, "Does the lord have any orders?"

"Invite the exploration team of the South Stick here, it's our own people."

"Whoa!"

On July 10th, the high school entrance examination has just ended, and major TV stations have opened their summer files, taking turns to broadcast Water Margin, Journey to the West, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and the newly released "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom".

The industrial park is full of televisions, and the employees suffer from it, and there is a faint tendency to go back to the past in social interactions.

Of course, this is just a spice in a boring life, just for entertainment.

As for returning the pearl or something......

Xu Shuji spoke, who would dare to broadcast?

A moment later.

The South Stick Exploration Team, which was lucky enough not to be captured by the Hadzas, entered the TEP temporary camp.

Three geologists, five exploration engineers, and seven bodyguards and coolies.

"Mr. Xu, Ron ordered when he came, let you arrange everything."

Ron is the liaison of the Navy SEALs, and in the past six months, he has been promoted to the head of the Humphreys base and promoted to the rank of major general for bringing out two batches of "invincible battalions" and significantly reducing the expenses of the Humphreys base.

The people in front of him are the official exploration representatives of the top prosecutor from SK Group, the largest energy company in Nanbangzi.

Xu Fei took out fifteen bank cards, "In the future, you will be TEP researchers stationed abroad, and you will be sent to Boston to study at home with Ron's help take care of your family's affairs, and school-age children."

"Thank you, Mr. Xu."

"Call me Commander."

「！」

"I have several exploration data here, including oil test reports, which you can send to SK Group and Nambangzi official ...... within 10 days in the normal workflow."

Early the next morning.

SK Group's internal employees leaked the latest exploration data of the South Bangzi exploration team in the West Asia-Afghanistan area......

Relevant data shows that not only oil, but also TEP drilled out!

The reporter took the opportunity to post photos of black liquid everywhere outside Hazara......

10 a.m.

The Enamel exploration team was also captured by the Hadzas.

The German exploration team was personally received by Director Xu.

"Mr. Xu, Mr. Foreman specially instructed us when we came, and everything is up to you."

Xu Fei also took out a stack of bank cards, "In the future, you will be a member of the TEP energy project, and you will have Forman to take care of your family's affairs, so you don't need to worry, the school-age children will be arranged to study in Boston, and after graduation, you will also enter the TEP, and you will not have to worry about food and drink for the rest of your life."

"Thank you, Mr. Xu."

"Call me Commander."

「！」

"I have several exploration data here, including oil test reports, which you can send to the German authorities within 10 days in the normal workflow......

Around noon.

An employee of the German Energy Research Institute revealed the latest progress of the German exploration team in the West Asia-Afghanistan region.

Relevant data show that the amount of crude oil stored is not 1.2 billion tons, but 2.4 billion tons!

A global sensation!

Afternoon.

The exploration teams of Ingerrot, Idoli, and Austria were captured by the Tully Ruthless gang supported by Harden.

After Xu Fei's lunch break, he met with the Canada exploration team who had escaped by chance.

James's investment in the tower project in Canada is now beginning to take shape, and he has some control over some things.

Although the Canada explorers did not arrange it by themselves, James followed the phone line, touched the other party's home, and talked to the other party in person.

There was no surprise, more than a dozen bank cards were scattered, and the official of Canada quickly confirmed all the news broadcast today.

The Hazara oil field has instantly become the hottest topic in the world.

And with the rotation of the home star, when each region ushers in a new day.

Asia-Pacific crude oil prices plummeted.

Crude oil prices in Europe plummeted.

North American crude oil prices plummeted.

International crude oil prices plummeted to $23 per barrel!

Xu Fei looked at the news around the world, and suddenly realized that he was a little cowardly in his heart.

"If the matter is revealed, should I be hung on the gallows?"

"I don't think ......."

"After all, there is no such punishment in the country."

In contemplation, the encrypted phone rang.

Xu Fei glanced at the caller ID, armed old man.

It is estimated that the large oil field of nonsense alarmed the board of directors.

"Crooked, Uncle Sun!"

"Congratulations to your company's energy project on its prosperity, our general manager has said, what does Director Xu do, toys, cars, electrical appliances, foreign trade, hey, now a blind cat has met a dead mouse and dug out a big oil field!"

"I always feel that this is not like a good word."

"The general manager is really complimenting you."

"It's an honor."

If there really is an oil field, Xu Fei will definitely be proud, but the Hazara oil field is nonsense......

"Xiaofei, the general manager reminds that although this project is TEP, you are our person, if you can't do anything, take a small road back, and the team that trained in Daze will pick you up at a specific location."

"Thank you leaders for your concern."

"The words have been brought, you pay attention to safety, and we will talk again when we come back."

"No, our camp, don't plan to invest?"

"Afghanistan, maybe there will be a war soon, if we throw foreign exchange into it, is there any difference between it and meat buns and dogs?"

"That's what I think, old man......

The price of crude oil fell to 23 US dollars per barrel, and the sellers' quotations will basically not be adjusted downward.

Because big oil farmers also have times when they feel sorry for money.

In particular, there is an "OPEC" that coordinates oil prices, and maybe prices will rebound soon.

To this end, Xu Fei prepared the second phase of the plan.

Lay the oil pipeline!

Ten years later, the company was transporting crude oil, grain, and so on to China from various "resource points".

Therefore, from now on, it is necessary to consider abandoning the Malaysia-6 route and purchasing crude oil from West Asia in the form of a land pipeline and then transporting it to Tibet.

Even when the time comes, it will connect with the two oil pipelines in Asia and Europe and pump back the crude oil in the European region.

Of course, the amount of work is too large, and Camp Chief Xu can't even be busy with the project at hand now, and it is estimated that he will not be able to contract it until Xu Dashuai comes out.

But you can lay the domestic market first, make a show, disguise the whole plan as the "Hazara Oilfield Pipeline Project", and then launch low-cost, high-quality "crude oil" to disrupt the international crude oil market and attract customers from the Asia-Pacific region to come to us to purchase cheap crude oil!

In the words of the expansion, this is called rhythm.

As long as the rhythm is good, it may be able to pull the international crude oil price to $10.

"Uncle Sun, the Hazara oilfield project does not require domestic investment, but the annual output of the Hazara oilfield is as high as 45 million tons, and TEP is transported by tankers, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and very dangerous, especially when it comes to resource strategy, after I discussed with Strauss, I plan to build an oil pipeline to solve the procurement + supply."

"You mean, through southern Xinjiang, through the Pakistani Corridor, to the Afghanistan region?"

"Yes, you tell your superiors that TEP pays for it, the pipelines are shared, and the superiors only need to provide the land."

Hearing this, the old man thought for a moment, "It is estimated that the superiors will agree, but this project is equivalent to strategic planning and needs to be discussed in detail."

"Excuse me."

Xu Fei hung up the phone and took out a map of the world.

First, use pencil to trace a route from Tibet → Pakistan → Hazara, and then a route of Hazara → Persia→ Tuji → various Leahs, Vias→, Austria→ Germany.

The former is easy to say, and the latter is terrible.

Moreover, there are many war-torn areas in the places where the latter passes.

"Forget it, let's get the West Asian side up first."

July 14th.

Strauss spent 200 million US dollars and advanced oil production equipment purchased from oil kings to arrive in Hazara.

On the barren and vast land, more than a dozen "kowtow machines" have been built one after another.

However, Director Xu's gold version of the Gulfstream V-shaped business jet went straight to the east.

Jingcheng Airport.

After receiving the news of Director Xu's return to China, countless overseas reporters blocked the terminal building.

When a young man in a clean white suit walked out with a vicious dog wearing sunglasses......

"Mr. Xu, may I ask how much you spent to buy the Hazara Oil Field?"

"Mr. Xu, the Hadza people kidnapped the Wadao exploration team, did you send someone to rescue you?"

"Mr. Xu, what do you think about the fact that the Tully ruthless gang kidnapped the explorers of Ingrean and Yiduli and demanded a ransom of 100 million US dollars?"

By this time, no one doubted the authenticity of the Hazara oil field.

The North American Congress, which includes meeting to discuss, vote and discuss, and find a white house to discuss, is also struggling with whether to send troops.

Xu Fei motioned to the security guards to separate the crowd with an expressionless face, and quickly stepped into the big red flag that had been waiting for a long time.

The gas turbines roared and arrived in the General Assembly Hall half an hour later.

The reporters who heard the news and surrounded the ...... again

Xu Fei glanced at the supply and marketing headquarters, the main body has been built, and the appearance needs to be improved.

After that, enter the conference room and meet with the general manager and commercial manager of your camp.

For the oil pipeline project, TEP pays for it, and the official land comes out of the land, there is nothing to discuss, just do it.

However, the higher-level leaders still have doubts about whether there is oil in Afghanistan.

Because many scientific research departments all patted their chests and assured that there was absolutely no oil!

Two hours later.

Director Xu walked out of the Great Hall satisfied.

Next.

* Xia Petroleum announced that it has commissioned Huangnigang Development and Construction Company to build an oil pipeline → Pakistan in southern Xinjiang to reduce the cost of crude oil transportation.

The announcement was very simple, without explaining the reason or revealing the investor

or collaborators.

But everyone understands that Director Xu wants to use pipelines to transport crude oil!

In the afternoon of the same day.

The senior management of Nambangzi SK Group arrived in Dongshan and planned to sign a crude oil supply contract worth 5 billion US dollars with TEP (Dongshan) Energy Company at a unit price of 14 US dollars per barrel!

Wajima Energy followed closely behind, with a TEP price of $22 per barrel.

This displeased the chief of Ushima and lodged a written protest with Strauss.

However, it is OPEC and crude traders who are more uncomfortable.

Oil prices have fallen, and OPEC will raise oil prices by cutting production as usual.

However, the Hazara oil field, with a preliminary estimate of 1.2 billion tons of reserves, is expected to extract 45 million tons per year, about 328 million barrels, which can be exploited for almost 20 years.

This means that Afghanistan has more annual mining than the whole of West Asia, and OPEC has an even more competitor in the next 20 years.

If OPEC cuts production, it is equivalent to sending customers to TEP.

If OPEC cuts prices...... Oil prices have been cut in half, and you think this is a no-cost stock?

The big oil farmers are particularly entangled, and many countries have even suggested that they send troops to Afghanistan and grab the TEP oil fields.

Unfortunately, TEP now belongs to North America, and Strauss is also looking for partners to jointly extract crude oil, and at present, General Motors, Oil King, Boeing, and ExxonMobil all want to take a stake.

As a result, North America remains on hold.

Dispatch troops?

Why send troops?

The oil fields are already North American.

Therefore, Strauss heeded the advice of North American parliamentarians, and in order to guard against OPEC and other forces, he once again sent two additional emergency rescue teams to the Afghanistan area, expanding the number of security personnel to 1,000.

This includes 50 M8 vehicles, 100 infantry vehicles based on the Bradley platform, evacuation vehicles, catering vehicles, and more.

Raymond even proposed to deploy 10 B2s at the Diego Garcia base in Sangeyang.

The North American Congress thought that the guy wanted an arms order and rejected it on the spot.

…………

West Asia-Afghanistan region, Hazara.

The noisy month of July is gradually fading away.

With the arrival of August, the construction of the double-track railway invested by TEP has begun.

In order to achieve an annual production capacity of 45 million tons, the project does not conflict with the oil pipeline.

At this time.

Director Xu, who had returned ten days earlier, squatted near an oil well, watching the tanker truck load water, and fell into deep thought.

That's right, fill it with water!

It was real to dig an oil well, and at the same time a water well was drilled next to it.

Oil is known to float on water.

The tanker trucks that came to transport were first filled with water and then poured a little bit of the first 200 tons of crude oil.

So, take a look from the top......

A full tank of oil.

In this way, it can also avoid being seen when the tanker truck is empty when it comes, and empty when it returns.

Arriving at the harbor, the pumping equipment pumps water and oil into the tanker......

Oil floats up again.

As for whether it will be detected by the detection device......

The Navy SEALs drove Bradley armored vehicles to escort the convoy to the harbor, a kilometer radius where anyone who dared to approach would be killed.

Now the question is.

OPEC's crude oil quotation has remained at $16 per barrel for half a month.

Prices in North America, Canada and other places remained at $17.5 per barrel.

Obviously, this is already the limit.

"Do you want to place an order?"

Xu Fei's psychological expectation is 14 US dollars per barrel, but no one has trouble with money, and if the price of TEP is lowered again, it is estimated that it will soon arouse suspicion.

In addition, the purchase of crude oil worth 20 billion US dollars this time is huge, even if it is divided into 30 offshore companies and looks for oil companies around the world

Placing an order will also lead to investigation.

At this time, the third secretary trotted all the way and presented the folder.

"Factory director, after the operation center asked TEP to purchase crude oil in the name of an offshore company, Bingxiong contacted the offshore company."

"We're an American company, and we can't buy the crude oil of Bingxiong."

"Ice Bear offers $8 per barrel."

"Hiss......"

Xu Fei stood up reluctantly, "Really?"

"They made a request to let the offshore companies mine themselves."

"Ahh

In the field of foreign trade, if the third brother does not give money for picking up the goods, Maozi is the person and the goods are all left.

Offshore companies run to build oil production wells, and when they are finished, they are afraid that they will not be occupied by oil oligarchs, and then they will throw people in the woods to feed the bears.

Xu Fei picked up the document and put pen to paper to refuse the application, but saw that Bingxiong had purchased 100,000 sets of microwave ovens, electric ovens, and so on from FMC Oriental Company.

These products are not prohibited and, like Coke, can be sold to Ice Bear.

But......

"As far as I know, Bingxiong's foreign exchange reserves are not as much as our family's pocket money, so what do they pay for?"

"FMC's food business needs a lot of potatoes, and Bingxiong arranged for the locals to lease 1 million hectares of land in the Amur Region to FMC for 10 years."

"100,000 sets of electrical appliances are worth about $30 million...... That's equivalent to $3 per mu per year?"

"Ice Bear also gave two transport planes, Yin Er 76."

"It's not a loss."

Xu Fei temporarily retained the 8 US dollars per barrel crude oil self-production project, and decided to "finish the nonsense Hazara oil field" first.

"Notify the operation center to start the ...... of the 20 billion crude oil procurement plan"

Before the words fell, the big secretary called.

"What's wrong?"

"OPEC decided to increase crude oil extraction, and international crude oil quotations fell, 13 US dollars per barrel."

"So what are you waiting for? Grab it!"

After Xu Fei finished shouting, he hurriedly found the World Clearing Bank to apply for a loan again.

The 3 billion US dollars that were loaned out before had been repaid as early as when I returned from North America, and now that I am refinancing, the TEP is no longer the original TEP, and the other party gave a credit limit of 5 billion US dollars on the spot.

In addition, China Tower Company borrowed US$2 billion from Bank of Boston, TEP Deutsche Energy borrowed US$1 billion from Deutsche Bank, and Hongqi Automobile borrowed US$200 million from Efargoku Bank.

Subsequently, Xu Fei borrowed 200 million from Pop, 1 billion from Raymond, 500 million from Romney, and 100 million from General Motors Smith.

Roughly calculated, 20 billion deposits + 10 billion debts, a full 30 billion US dollars!

After the fact, crude oil skyrocketed, even if it only rose back to $30 per barrel.

This crude oil, worth 30 billion US dollars, will also double to 60 billion.

Plus the previous inventory......

Xu Fei didn't want to work hard.

But considering the consequences that he will face when the matter is revealed, he cheers up again.

"By the way, the director of the plant, Wajima wants us to act as an intermediary and redeem 20 explorers from the Hadza."

Xu Fei rubbed his fingers.

The third secretary understood in seconds and said softly, "They have paid 100 million Japanese dollars."

"How many knives are there?"

"Divide by 15 equals red bills, and divide by 8.15 equals US dollars."

"How much?"

"I'm not good at arithmetic."

"So stupid, 15x8,=,=2.25. 100 million divided by less than 800,000 US dollars."

"How do you do that?"

"100 million divided by 100 equals 1 million, minus 0.2 discount, and it is the approximate result."

"Can that still be counted?"

"There are errors, but the approximate results are just the approximate results, and this is a large number of hearts that the factory director himself pondered

Algorithms are very unscientific."

「……」

"In other words, 800,000 US dollars will send the director of the factory?"

"They said, "I don't dare to give too much."

"How much can you take, even if you come, no one really dares to close the factory director now...... Also, how much is the ransom?"

"$100,000 per person, $20 for 20 people."

"The price is okay."

Xu Fei spoke, contacting the Mullah of the Hadza people, and the moment the phone was connected, he was the first to speak, "May peace come to you, Mr. Baldick."

"Uh...... Good afternoon, Mr. Xu."

"The Wajima exploration team is still alive, right?"

"Help us shear the sheep."

"Let's put it down, considering their food and lodging expenses during this time, each person will calculate 100 US dollars, 20 people, 2000 US dollars."

"Thank you, Mr. Xu, for your kindness."

"It's a pleasure to work with."

Xu Fei hung up the phone, returned to the base, opened his laptop, connected to the radar network, and found that it was only a local area network.

Immediately contact the Boston Police Department, access the communication satellite, and log in to the office platform.

Half a day has passed, and the 30 offshore companies operated by the operation center have successively found crude oil suppliers.

There are also 20 fictitious companies that have signed an additional $15 billion worth of crude oil purchase contracts with TEP Energy, and the related transactions will continue until December.

A large amount of crude oil was sold, causing international oil prices to fall again.

Many experts are also worried that international oil prices will enter a very sluggish stage, perhaps lasting 3~5 years.

Relevant statements have appeared in major newspapers, news, and forums......

Investors have sold crude oil stocks, crude oil futures, and switched to other industries.

As a result, the stock of the swishing fox soared a lot, and the stock of General Motors, which was cut in half, also faintly revived, rising by more than a dozen dollars.

It can only be said that there are too many people who play "crude oil".

Ten days later.

On August 11, offshore companies signed crude oil purchase contracts one after another.

Xu Fei walked out of the tent and looked around at the fortifications that looked like a fortified city.

At the same time, gather all your personnel, wear all kinds of weapons, and wait for the "Armageddon".

At 8 a.m., 100 million energy is consumed.

An oil production well far away in the northern mountain col instantly became a "high-tech oil production well".

Recently, after the Hadza were captured, the Tully ruthless people placed in it also became a "technology unit".

Almost at the same time, their own tanks, which were on a 100-kilometer cordon, were shelled by the opposing side.

The German exploration team, as well as the redeemed Wajima exploration team, including the Enamel exploration team that was rescued with the help of Director Xu some time ago, heard the movement and ran out of the camp one after another.

"Mr. Xu, what happened?"

"There are unknown armed elements, grabbing TEP's oil production wells, our casualties are heavy, you are ready to evacuate."

After Xu Fei finished speaking solemnly, with a wave of his hand, the entire camp's M8 chariots and Bradley armored infantry vehicles rushed overwhelmingly towards the "neutral camp" in the north.

Artillery fire roared, and gunsmoke filled the sky.

Soldier to soldier, artillery to artillery, the battle situation was extremely fierce.

Director Xu even rushed forward in person with M 6 in his arms.

Then he was recoiled back by 20 strange enemy chariots.

"Retreat, retreat, the enemy is strong!"
