Chapter 657: Still Oil

The lanterns come on and the night falls. Darkness always comes earlier in this winter season, unlike in the summer when you can still see a trace of light in the sky at seven or eight o'clock in the evening. Bayi Chinese Literature Network ★ ★★√ ★ く

At about 17:30, Li Hong and Jin Jianshe came to Nanluogu Lane and found Jin Xiantai.

Although it was getting late at this time, the flow of people in Nanluogu Alley was still so dense, and the northern and southern style restaurants on both sides of the pedestrian street were also full of customers. Perhaps it was because New Year's Day was about to pass, and the entire Nanluogu Alley was crowded. Red lanterns hang on the doors of every shop and house, which adds a bit of joy in this cold season.

Without exception, two large red lanterns were hung on the door outside Jin Xiantai's residence, symbolizing prosperity and good fortune in the coming year.

After Li Hong and Jin Jianshe met Jin Xiantai, the three of them exchanged greetings with each other. Then Li Hong entered the topic and told the important thing he mentioned before coming to Jin Xiantai.

Jin Jianshe accompanied Coco to the study room to play games. The little guy didn't notice Jin Jianshe at all and didn't treat Jin Jianshe as an outsider at all.

Andrew brewed a pot of black tea and did not serve Li Hong and Jin Jianshe with coffee or anything else. It seemed that this was considered as doing as the Romans do.

"How's it going? Are you satisfied with this house? I've told the people from the Forbidden City that they won't work hard, otherwise they won't be sorry for the large sum of money you gave them. They do this kind of work But it’s hard to get.”

Picking up the exquisite teacup and taking a sip of black tea, Li Hong had a comfortable look on her face, and then asked Jin Xiantai if he was satisfied with it.

Jin Xiantai smiled and nodded repeatedly. Of course he was satisfied, even so satisfied that he couldn't be more satisfied.

Speaking of which, this three-in-one courtyard house had been renovated to this level in just a few months. There was nothing he could find fault with.

Besides, he is not the kind of boss who is difficult to serve and insists on being picky.

"I'm very satisfied. I can own such a mansion in this area of ​​Yanjing City. What else can I be dissatisfied about?"

Li Hong smiled, as long as Jin Xiantai is satisfied.

Gently putting down the teacup, Li Hong began to mention the main topic: "The quality of the three batches of crude oil you sold me is very good, but the quantity is a little small. After all, you also know that China has a large population and today's domestic economic conditions are also hungry. Things have begun to improve, and people have some money in their hands, so many people have bought private cars, which has led to a surge in domestic demand for crude oil..."

Jin Xiantai listened quietly to Li Hong talking about this matter.

And he also understood the meaning of Li Hong's words, which was that he hoped to get more crude oil back, and the more the better.

Of course, Li Hong will also satisfy Jin Xiantae in terms of price.

Obviously, she had tasted the sweetness in the first three oil transactions between Jin Xiantai and Li Hong.

Jin Xiantai obtained crude oil from Alexander for US$2 billion, divided it into three batches and sold it to Li Hong for a total of US$6 billion. As for what Li Hong would do with it, Jin Xiantai did not ask and would not ask, but he was certain that Li Hong Hong definitely made money too.

Although the international crude oil price is very low today, the problem is that the oil-producing countries do not sell to others at this price, but secretly sell it to the United States at a price four or five times higher. Therefore, in different time and space, the international market of crude oil is It is very strange and unreasonable to judge oil prices by price.

The crude oil price that Jin Xiantai sold to Li Hong was only double the international oil price. This was an absolutely conscientious price, and Li Hong could not be unaware of this.

Therefore, with such cheap crude oil, why not buy more?

In fact, such weird and unreasonable things happened here in different time and space, mainly because the United States and other countries wanted to suppress the Soviet Union and punish the Soviet Union for invading Afghanistan.

Therefore, the United States and other countries hope to lower international crude oil prices to impose economic punishment on the Soviet Union. After all, the main pillar of the Soviet Union's domestic economy in different time and space comes from crude oil exports.

Now the international crude oil price has fallen below 4.5 US dollars a barrel. If you sell it at this price, you will not even be able to recover the cost. It is absolutely impossible for the Soviets to do such a loss-making business, so they have a large amount of extracted crude oil in their hands. .

The military invasion in Afghanistan also reached a stalemate. The Afghans resisted very fiercely. The Soviet army suffered heavy losses and military expenditures expanded accordingly.

In addition to Afghanistan, people's livelihood areas in the Soviet Union must also be taken into consideration, but these require a large amount of funds to support, so the Soviets are now very short of money.

But when the Soviets secretly contacted the buyers, they found that no one in the world who needed oil was willing to pay attention to them. Even if they contacted them, they would ask for the purchase and sale of Soviet crude oil based on international oil prices. This made the Soviets Embarrassed.

The furry bear wants to imitate the bald eagle in raising secret prices, but the furry bear is different from the bald eagle. The bald eagle is bought with real gold and silver at a price several times higher than the international crude oil price. The furry bear wants to buy it at a high price. The price of international crude oil is several times higher than the price of foreign crude oil, so how can a furry bear be the same as a bald eagle?

In fact, China has never given up contact with the Soviets, but Mao Xiong has always been very tough. Anyway, I just won't lower the price. The price is here, whether you want to buy it or not, it makes China feel helpless.

But the appearance of Jin Xiantai suddenly gave the Chinese people an opportunity.

It seems like he can get cheap crude oil from the Soviet Union.

It is true that corruption was rampant in the Soviet Union, but not everyone dared to take money.

At least the Soviets did not dare to take bribes from the Chinese. Who knew that the Soviets and the Chinese in different time and space had fought a few years ago.

But taking bribes from Americans is fine.

Although the Americans and the Soviets are also hostile, after all, they have never fought with real swords and guns. It is just a cold war.

That's why Kim Hyun Tae was able to get in touch with Alexander, and after paying a large sum of bribes, he obtained a crude oil contract from the other party that was only slightly higher than the international crude oil price.

After understanding what Li Hong meant, Jin Xiantai thought about it in his mind and felt that it seemed like he could agree to do it.

Anyway, it was the Soviets who were tricked. Alexander, a genuine second-generation Soviet power, didn't care about them, so what did he care about?

Besides, the crude oil obtained was also sold to China in another time and space, and Jin Xiantai was not opposed to it psychologically.

Although Kim Hyun Tae does not have a high level of identification with China in different time and space, after all, he is still closer to China than all other countries in different time and space.

"I can give it a try, but I may not be sure. After all, this matter is not that easy to handle. I can only say that I will try my best." Without patting his chest to guarantee, Kim Hyun-tae is not that bad. Now he is also good at learning. .

Although Jin Xiantai himself was very confident in this matter, he also knew that in front of Li Hong, he had to show that it would be difficult to do this.

Only in this way can we hook the other party without causing any trouble.

That is to say, when it comes to Li Hong and Kim Hyun Tae's confrontation, if someone else comes, Jin Hyun Tae will have to argue with the other party.

After all, he is Li Hong's relative, and Li Hong will certainly not treat him like an outsider.

Therefore, when Jin Xiantai said these words, Li Hong smiled and nodded: "Just try your best. After all, I will appreciate whether this deal succeeds or not, and I don't have much benefit from this deal. I am also entrusted by others." Come and ask."

Li Hong was tantamount to telling Jin Xiantai that there would be no benefit to her if this thing was done, and she herself was asked to ask, and there was someone else who benefited.

Jin Xiantai was not stupid, and immediately asked: "Aunt Li..." Jin Xiantai was disgusted with this title, so he hesitated for a while before saying it.

After all, in terms of actual age, he is much older than Li Hong.

But he happened to be younger in another time and space. His American ID card says he is only 17 years old, right?

Kim Hyun Tae was very helpless about this.

Aunt Li heard this and Li Hong's face lit up. She looked at the coquettish Jin Xiantai and smiled in her heart.

Jin Xiantai, who was in embarrassment, didn't pay much attention to Li Hong's reaction. He tried hard to suppress his inner embarrassment and continued to ask.

"Can you tell me who is buying crude oil?"

Jin Xiantai felt that he needed to figure this out, because only by figuring out who was behind Li Hong could he protect his own interests.

Besides, if Li Hong hadn't wanted the crude oil himself, the price would definitely not be the same as before, right?

"Huaxia Petroleum Group." Li Hong didn't mean to hide it, and directly said the force behind asking him to ask Jin Xiantai about this matter.

Hearing this, Jin Xiantai understood that this was one of the two barrels of oil in China in different time and space.

Okay, as long as you know who will benefit, basically Kim Hyun Tae already knows it.

Li Hong seemed to know Jin Xiantai's considerations, so she smiled and said to Jin Xiantai: "You don't have to worry about anything, just do whatever you want to do. In business, you are all about seeking money."

Li Hong didn't say it clearly, but Jin Xiantai also understood the meaning.

Li Hong's words were nothing more than telling him that he didn't need to take into account all aspects of things. He could do whatever he wanted to do in business. The important thing was to make money.

Kim Hyun Tae has no psychological pressure on this matter.

He is an American national, and Huaxia Petroleum cannot suppress him, so he knows what he should do.

"Okay, I'll give you news within three days."

Jin Xiantai happily gave Li Hong a word so that she could also give an explanation to the person who entrusted her.

Of course, it won't be that simple, but there's no need to go into details right now.

Kim Hyun Tae had to contact Alexander to see if this guy was still willing to continue poaching the corner of Soviet socialism with him.

The glass sliding door of the living room was pushed open, and Li Baoying, wearing a black Korean sweater and jeans, showing off her body curves, walked in.

"When are we going to have dinner? I'm going to starve to death."

After the girl came in, she naturally started to act coquettishly.

After Li Hong took a look, his body suddenly trembled.

As the head of the Sixth Division of the Chinese Intelligence Bureau, it was impossible for her not to know who Li Baoying was.

Li Baoying also saw Li Hong at this time, and then the girl was stunned. (To be continued.)
