Six Hundred and Twentieth Chapter Helpless and Handle
"Hi, dear, good morning." Waking up under the warm sunshine, lying next to the person you love the most, with a perfect face and figure, is undoubtedly the happiest.
"Are you leaving?" Mary lay on his chest with some reluctance. She was so touched last night.
When the video was played, countless rose petals floated down from the sky.
When a necklace with the width of an index finger and studded with yellow diamonds slowly falls from the center, all the fantasies of a woman come true at that moment.
So Mary let go of her restraint last night, and took the initiative to get into the bed to take a bath for Banana, which made Li Zitao almost laugh with pride.
"Well, see you tonight." Li Zitao kissed her fair face, got up and opened the closet, only to find that the gray T-shirt had been worn out.
"Ava, ask Harry to send some gray ones, I like that color." Putting on a head-to-toe black suit, Li Zitao left the hotel with his secretary.
"BOSS." As soon as he left the house, he saw Tia rushing over, wearing a white V-neck sleeveless lace shirt, pink trousers with a clear British style, crystal lace high heels, perfect.
"What does the customer service specialist say?" As a boss, of course I let the secretary do the work.
"She will choose the most suitable property for you in the Upper East Side, the top floor, double floors, direct elevator access, strict management, I told her all these." Tia said quickly.
"Very well, when will the interior decoration of the castle begin?" Li Zitao was still thinking about when all his collections would be moved in.
"In August, it is expected to be completed by May next year." Regarding the progress of the Dream Castle, Tia has been in charge of following up.
It just happened to be the same month that Morgan Stanley officially opened, which is a lucky sign.
"Rush, Arrante, sit down wherever you want." Seeing the two of them in the restaurant, Li Zitao took the coffee from the waiter's hand, and got to the point vigorously.
They are discussing the new trend of Mobil's development. As for the negotiations with Mitsui later, they already have a draft in mind.
The agreement with Dutch Shell was reached by reducing the price of crude oil by 25 cents per barrel, which is not a small amount in today's market dominated by bulk transactions.
1 million barrels is 250,000 US dollars, 10 million barrels is 2.5 million US dollars, and a 2-year supply contract of 8 million tons is expected to lose 12.5 million US dollars.
To be able to obtain the approval of Mobil Standard Oil's board of directors, in addition to the future interests of East Asia, we should also thank them for having enough oil fields in their hands.
Large quantities of oil reserves are mainly supplied to the federal government to stabilize international oil prices and ensure the speed of industrial development in the United States.
But if the quantity is too large, it will cause a lot of pressure in terms of funds and risks, which is why they will dump Europe at a low price and reach an agreement by the way.
With so many countries on the European continent, the production of Dutch Shell has been saturated, and it still cannot meet the needs of various countries.
Numerous small oil factories and crude oil black markets have been born in the blank market, and Dutch Shell has been seeking solutions to this.
After all, no one thinks they have too much money. Although it is the largest brand in Europe, Dutch Shell is still not satisfied.
Now, with the supply of Mobil standard and the new discovery in the Persian Gulf, Dutch Shell is doing its best to suppress the living space of small companies and the black market.
It won't be long before the European market will be occupied by it, but Mobil Standard is also not idle.
The Soviet Union and China are their new targets, and Indonesia, where AD-B is gradually expanding its influence, is waiting for their occupation.
For the exploration and mining of the Soviet Union, Mobil mainly provided personnel and technical guidance. As for how much profit it can get, it still depends on the upcoming negotiations.
Huaguo is simpler, just export crude oil directly, and the benefits are astonishing. No wonder Dutch Shell entered the Huaguo market early.
Money under the flames of war is the best way to make money, especially when the Red Party and the Fine Arts Party are split, and the occurrence of civil war is unpredictable.
The United Party has also embarked on the old path in Li Zitao's memory, corrupt to the point of insanity.
Perhaps the other party felt that foreigners recognize money but not people, so they explained the plan clearly on the phone.
The current price of international crude oil is US$5/barrel, and their purchase price is US$4.8/barrel, which sounds like a discount of 20 cents.
but……
Crude oil will be settled in silver dollars, 1 US dollar is exchanged for 3 silver dollars, yes, it is 1;3.
At the moment when countries are abandoning the gold standard, Washington is aggressively manipulating the price of silver in the London market. The interest groups with the Nevada Banking Group as the core united with the government to raise the price of silver, causing the price of silver to rise steadily in the international market.
Nowadays, the exchange rate between silver dollars and U.S. knives among the people is 1.8:1, which is much higher than 2 years ago.
Under such circumstances, the other party proposed a 3:1 exchange rate.
According to the exchange ratio they gave, the price of a barrel of crude oil is 14.4 US dollars, and if the refund is 4 US dollars, there will be 10 US dollars left, which is twice as high as the international crude oil price.
This is not doing business, it is simply printing money.
As for where the silver dollars come from, you will know when you think about it. It is nothing more than collected from the people, pawned, or plundered with various bills.
It is said that the Xijing government cannot withstand the economic pressure, and will abandon the silver standard, limit the amount of silver circulation and export, and prohibit private transactions.
In addition, seek the help of the United Kingdom and the United States, prepare to issue new currencies, and join the increasingly fierce currency war. In the future, legal currencies that will fall below the pants will soon appear.
Although Li Zitao had a dark heart, he did not express any opinion on this matter.
What did he say? What can I say?
"You don't want to make money from the Chinese people, you have to be conscientious in doing business? We voluntarily lower the price, so come and buy it?"
Not to mention the shareholders of Mobil, they could immediately throw themselves into the arms of Dutch Shell, "You don't want to make money, but I still want to make money, you idiot."
Based on these circumstances, Li Zitao said that there is no need to report to him about the transaction between Mobil and Huaguo, and he does not have peace of mind.
The reason why I know this news is because the banking group and the Ministry of Finance abruptly transferred the working capital to Wells Fargo Bank for operation.
Li Zitao guessed that this was Roosevelt's decision and an explanation to the outside world.
It's a warning and a handle!
Regardless of whether he was involved in the scheme to drive up the price of silver, he was already involved in the circulation of the money from Wells Fargo to London.
This is a powder keg, as long as it is detonated, Li Zitao will be immediately nailed to the rack of shame as a 'traitor'.
The ID of the United States made a fortune in the United States, took a foreigner, and helped foreign capitalists loot the wealth of the motherland, causing the motherland's economy to fall into turmoil.
The public will not understand Li Zitao's helplessness, and it is impossible for him to stand up and explain. Even if the people above understand it, they will resist public opinion for him.
This is to completely cut off his retreat and let him stay in the United States obediently.
"It seems that this action still annoyed some people, and I owe Uncle John and Roosevelt a favor." Li Zitao shook his head with a wry smile.
