Chapter 558 The Trip to Asia Officially Ends
[What does this little guy mean? Do you still want to corrupt me in this way? It seems that this little guy has completely Americanized both his mind and thinking, as well as his ideas. Alas, this matter is so troublesome, you are my nephew. 】
Li Hong obviously had some wrong ideas, thinking that Kim Hyun-tae, like some Americans with ulterior motives, wanted to win over and corrupt Chinese people (himself) in a special way.
Therefore, she was even more convinced that her big nephew living in a foreign country was really a banana person through and through.
But Li Hong really had a wrong idea. The reason why Jin Xiantai said this was really for the sake of the Huaxia Special Intelligence Bureau.
This department has little oil and water, and the work is hard and dangerous. Many times, the credits and even the sacrifices will not be known to the outside world.
Because of their special nature, they need to transfer funds from the state to maintain them, but some tasks and tasks require a lot of financial support, so how do they open up financial resources?
At the very least, if a colleague sacrificed, he must be given a settling allowance.
Although the meritorious medal is of great significance, it cannot be eaten after all, and the wives and children left by the victims have to live.
If the Ministry of Special Affairs has its own source of funds, this matter will be relatively simple.
They can completely pay a sum of money by themselves to sacrifice to the family members of the same family, so that their lives will not be so hard.
As the saying goes, don't let people bleed and shed tears, that's what it means.
So many thoughts flashed through Li Hong's mind, and there was one aspect of it.
Is the $20 billion crude oil list big?
To be honest, the list is really big.
If your department wins this list and at least doubles the net profit from resale, it means that your department will have 20 billion US dollars in funds, which will make many things much easier to do.
You must know that most of the tasks on the special front require the support of a large amount of funds before they can be successful in the end.
So if Li Hong said that he was not moved, it would be a lie.
"How do you want to cooperate?"
In an instant, Li Hong made a decision,
Now that Kim Hyun-tae has said so, it would be wrong for her to pretend to be stupid. Besides, she has some position in the special affairs department, and she still has some decision-making power on this issue, so ask yourself what "nephew's" means. Not a big problem.
"The contract of 20 billion US dollars of crude oil is sold to you. As for how much money you make after getting this batch of crude oil, it has nothing to do with me. At the same time, transportation is also your business, and how to deal with this batch of crude oil is also your business."
Kim Hyun-tae expressed his thoughts to Li Hong in a very relaxed tone.
[I sell my crude oil to the Special Intelligence Department. As for how much the Special Intelligence Department earns from this batch of crude oil, I don’t care. Yes, Kim Hyun-tae was relieved. 】
Li Hong stared at Kim Hyun-tae for a long time, and after confirming that Kim Hyun-tae would not put forward some unreasonable conditions and demands, he was really relieved in his heart.
To be honest, she is also really worried that Kim Hyun-tae will make some unreasonable demands. If that is the case, it will make it difficult for her to do so. At the same time, she has to be on guard against Kim Hyun-tae, even if he is her own nephew.
Fortunately, this kind of thing did not happen. It seemed that Jin Xiantai was really just selling crude oil, which made Li Hong relax a lot.
What Jin Xiantai bought from Alexander was 20 billion US dollars of crude oil, and now he wants to sell it to Huaxia at more than three times the price, of course he wants to make a fortune.
Therefore, the 20 billion US dollars of crude oil he told Li Hong was only less than one-third of the crude oil in his hands. After all, his purchase price was 8.5 US dollars, and what he wanted to sell was 30 US dollars.
At the same time, Jin Xiantai didn't want to sell all the crude oil to Huaxia at once. He wanted to make a steady flow and gradually establish a trust relationship with people like Li Hong through several transactions, so that he could invest in Huaxia in the future.
Jin Xiantai's plan is very shrewd. The crude oil in his hand is divided into three batches, each of which is 20 billion U.S. dollars. In this way, he can make a net profit of 40 billion U.S. dollars. A good friendship can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Of course, this is just Kim Hyun-tae's personal idea. As for whether he can succeed or not, it depends on Li Hong's attitude, and the price is also a factor.
You know, when doing business, many times it’s not a one-off price, and if you make an offer, others will counter-offer, right?
$30 is a secret price, not the current price in the international crude oil market, so how could Li Hong accept it.
"If it's just like this, I don't think it's a big problem. The Secret Service that I'm in charge of can complete your order without even having to report it to the headquarters for approval. My department has special handling rights. At the same time, I also hope that A little treasury."
Li Hong, who was relaxed, spoke half-truthfully in front of Kim Hyun-tae, and kept observing Kim Hyun-tae's reaction after she finished speaking.
Kim Hyun-tae is obviously not interested in what Li Hong said. He doesn't seem to care about Li Hong's identity and the unit he works for, and he doesn't even bother to explore it. This makes Li Hong, who is observing Kim Hyun-tae's reaction, very upset gratified.
"The price of US$30 is too high. Now the international crude oil price is US$4.73 (barrel), so don't you think this price is ridiculously high?"
After the observation did not find that Kim Hyun-tae had the kind of reaction he did not want to see, Li Hong, who was relaxed, began to bargain with Kim Hyun-tae.
Obviously, Li Hong cannot accept the price of 30 US dollars (barrel).
However, this was all expected by Kim Hyun-tae, so he responded: "I'm not afraid to tell you that the U.S. Congress and the oil-producing countries in the Middle East have reached a secret agreement. If sold to others, it will be secretly imported by the United States at a price of 30 US dollars, so apart from the crude oil in my hand, Huaxia will not buy a little bit of crude oil in the international market, unless the Soviets are willing to sell crude oil to me at my price. You, but I think with the personality of the Soviets, this price is very difficult for them to accept."
Although the agreement between the United States and the oil-producing countries in the Middle East is a secret, Kim Hyun-tae is not at all worried that this secret will be leaked out by himself, because this matter will not be hidden for too long after all, and he can just find an excuse to fool it up.
Besides, who can guarantee that the countries in the Middle East will not disclose this news to China by themselves?
A smile bloomed on Li Hong's face, and she was very happy that her nephew could reveal such a small secret.
It doesn't matter how important the secret is. The important thing is that this nephew is not all for the United States. This is the most important issue for Li Hong.
She was worried that her "nephew" would be brainwashed by American ideas and become that kind of radical American hawk, and then become hostile to China.
You know, there are quite a few Chinese-Americans like this in different time and space.
Even in the original time and space, there were many such Chinese Americans.
But looking at it now, Kim Hyun-tae is obviously not that kind of Chinese. Even if he is a banana man, he is not so unacceptable compared to the Chinese who are hostile to China.
"$30 is really unacceptable. If the price is lower, maybe I won't be so embarrassed."
Li Hong is in a good mood, and I hope that Kim Hyun-tae can relax the price a bit, and don't set it so deadly.
Hearing this, Jin Xiantai thought about it in his heart.
[The total value of the batch of crude oil I won for 8.5 US dollars is 20 billion US dollars. If it is tripled, it is only 25.5 US dollars (barrel), and I don't necessarily have to settle for 30 US dollars, and it is easy to settle accounts at the price of 25.5 US dollars. 】
Therefore, Kim Hyun-tae quickly made a decision, which was to lower his offer according to the trend.
"Well, who told me that I am also Chinese. Even though I am American now, I am a descendant of Chinese people after all. My final quotation is 25.5 US dollars (barrel) and I will not lower it. If this price is not satisfactory, I I can only go to Koreans or Japanese, I think with the high demands of these two countries on crude oil, maybe they can accept me if I raise the price a bit, right?"
Kim Hyun-tae gave Li Hong his final quotation, and at the same time mentioned two other countries as "threats", which in Li Hong's view were just tricks.
However, the price of 25.5 US dollars is indeed not bad, at least it is a price that Li Hong can accept.
Taking over Kim Hyun-tae’s crude oil at such a price, and then selling it to PetroChina through a special channel, it should be no problem to set the price at $35. It is not too easy to make billions of dollars just by changing hands.
And with this money, the benefits of his own department can be increased, and at the same time, there is no way to continue the experiment due to lack of funds.
Besides, Li Hong didn't want to gamble. He bet that his nephew was not trying to scare him. If he really wanted to sell to Koreans and Japanese instead, it would be a bit of a waste of money.
Besides, my nephew also revealed a piece of information to her. Huaxia can't buy a barrel of the crude oil in the international crude oil market now. Those are actually smoke bombs, and they have actually entered the pockets of Americans. .
So in this situation, not to mention the crude oil in Jin Xiantai's hands, buying it can alleviate the recent domestic oil shortage in China, and at the same time open up a source of income for his own department. Why not do it.
"Cash transaction?"
"Yes, cash transaction. This is my Swiss bank account. As long as the funds are in place, I will give you the bill of lading, and your people can pick up the goods at the port of Istanbul, Turkey."
After the two had a conversation, Li Hong stretched out his right hand to Kim Hyun-tae, and Kim Hyun-tae also extended his right hand when he saw this, and then the two shook hands.
Li Hong said with a smile: "Then it's a pleasant cooperation. I hope there will be more transactions like this."
Jin Xiantai was also happy when he heard it. After all, the crude oil in his hand was divided into three shares by himself, and now only one of them is sold to Li Hong, so he also hopes that this kind of transaction can continue to be done several times.
Therefore, upon hearing what Li Hong said, Kim Hyun-tae responded, "This is only the first transaction, and there will definitely be a second and third transaction."
Well, the crude oil in Jin Xiantai's hands can actually only be traded three times, so there is no loophole in what he said.
It can be seen from this that Kim Hyun-tae is also quite a chicken thief.
However, Li Hong was not clear about this question. She just heard that there would definitely be such a deal, and that Jin Xiantai still had a lot of crude oil in his hands, so the smile on Li Hong's face became even brighter.
However, Li Hong also had a headache. Where should he get such a large sum of money for crude oil?
Her department doesn't have a lot of funds, otherwise she wouldn't have used her special relationship to get a batch of real estates of corrupt officials investigated for sale some time ago, so as to obtain funds for her department.
And now it's really embarrassing for her to let her 20 billion US dollars to buy crude oil all of a sudden.
But Li Hong is not an idiot, after all she thought of a good way.
It's very simple, empty-handed white wolf chant.
Go to the people of PetroChina and tell them that you can get crude oil in stock, and you can also tell them what is the reason behind the fact that Chinese people can’t buy crude oil in the international crude oil market. Of course, the price of crude oil you got is 35 Or 36 US dollars, this price will make the officials of PetroChina who are struggling with the oil shortage be moved.
25.5 US dollars (barrel) was taken from Jin Xiantai, and then transferred to PetroChina at a price of 35 or 36 US dollars. It is not easy to make billions of dollars at once.
Li Hong, who has always been troubled by the lack of funds in his department, suddenly felt a little dizzy, and flashed [Is this too easy to make money? 】The idea made her feel like she was dreaming.
Of course, Li Hong was not dazzled by this kind of happiness. She was not doing this for her own personal gain, so it was necessary to report to her superiors and then file for the record.
Otherwise, this matter will make her very troublesome.
So how could Li Hong, such a fine woman, make such a mistake.
So when she made an agreement with Jin Xiantai, as soon as she left Jin Xiantai's side, she contacted the old leader of the special affairs headquarters, reported the matter to him, and got approval.
At this point, all that remains is to wait for the funds to be in place, and then Kim Hyun-tae will give her the bill of lading.
After Li Hong left, Kim Hyun-tae also began to prepare to leave Dragon City and return to Los Angeles.
As for Thailand, Kim Hyun-tae doesn't plan to go there, after all, school starts soon.
Kim Hyun-tae, who had prepared everything, took advantage of the free time of the day to continue to take his daughter to wander around Longcheng City, and let Xiao Keke eat a lot of good things. The next morning, the group of them arrived at Longcheng Airport and boarded the airport. Get on the plane and leave Dragon City.
So far, Kim Hyun-tae's trip to Asia can be regarded as a real short-circuit.
And his life will continue to return to the previous one, the two-point-one-line model at school and at home... (To be continued.)
