Chapter 1109 "North Atlantic Energy Transport Agreement"

The moment he heard Andre's words, Fangran's eyes widened slightly for a moment.

Last night....we were invaded! ? ?

I roughly calculated the longitude difference between here and myself on the Atlantic Ocean. It's only two or three time zones, and it's basically the same night. That means...

While he was repelling the attackers on the oil tanker, the headquarters of Esenkefume was invaded by someone! ?

He is not slow, he can figure out such things in an instant,

At this moment, Fangran finally understood what was going on with the opponent's mediocre fighting power in the previous three nights...

The other party wants to contain themselves at sea.

After thinking about this, I glanced at Adeline and saw her cold face that would not change even if the sky fell. She had no intention of speaking at all. Her attitude was that it was all up to you, young master, to make the decision.

Helplessly, at the same time, I felt a little heavy. This time, a crisis suddenly occurred not long after the incident began.

Fangran was silent for a second and then took a deep breath before speaking quietly, taking the lead to walk forward. A certain quality of reality that had been tempered by incidents in the medical field appeared in his words.

"Postpone the meeting and explain to me in detail what is going on."

ten minutes later...

In a small living room on the upper floor of the headquarters building, Fangran listened to the reports from the administrator and department heads. The content was as simple as imagined.

Essenkfume's top-secret information and valuable documents were all kept in a separate area of ​​the large database, and then the administrator discovered traces of being opened there during a routine inspection this morning.

After making a panic report, he and the person in charge discovered that all the information in an internal safe was missing.

[Scale Card] When activated throughout the process, no one lies.

Nodding to indicate that he had nothing to ask, he raised his hand to let the supervisor, who was particularly nervous for some reason, go out first. Fangran looked at Andre who was sitting in front of him.

"Have you confirmed that there is only one problem in the entire company, and what are the stolen data?"

"Since I got the news just now, I have asked the entire company to investigate. Although the results have not yet come out, it seems that that is the only one that has the problem."

Looking at the young man sitting on the sofa in front of him with an inexplicably powerful aura, he felt as good as the executive on his side.

It felt awkward to face a superior who was about the same age as his own son, but Andre still responded in a mature and reliable voice,

"As for the stolen information in the safe..."

But when he mentioned the stolen items, there was still a hint of anxiety in his expression and he spoke heavily:

"It's our oil drilling contracts in the Middle East."

Mining contract! ?

Frowning at the answer, Fangran looked to Adeline beside him and asked,

"Is there any serious impact if the contract is lost?"

"At most, there will be some legal disputes over rights and obligations, but it won't necessarily happen if someone makes a fuss about it."

The cold beauty was calm, and Adeline explained briefly and concisely.

And listening to them communicating in Chinese that he didn't understand, he didn't pay attention. Andre just suppressed his anxiety and spoke in a solemn voice:

"Without the mining contract, the agreement signing meeting in a few days will inevitably be affected. It is impossible for the consortium to miss such an opportunity in the future,"

"From the beginning of the war to now, our situation in terms of raw materials has been precarious."

In the eyes of outsiders, Essenkofme, which still has huge assets, only its top executives know what a severe crisis it is facing.

In fact, if it weren't for the batch of crude oil that Fangran safely transported back a few nights ago, the entire company would have been deeply involved in problems such as non-delivery, liquidated damages, etc. due to insufficient raw materials.

This is fatal when its stock is massively shorted.

"If the signing of the agreement fails..."

It is conceivable that if Esencofme cannot present its oil exploration contract in the Middle East at the signing meeting, it will definitely be questioned by other energy companies and affect the signing of the agreement.

Make it clear that the current situation is serious,

Andre spoke with difficulty as he couldn't imagine the consequences.

"Wait a minute, I have something I want to confirm,"

But at this moment, listening to his words, Fangran raised her eyes to look at him and suddenly asked a question,

"So what caused this crisis just because we lost those contracts last night?"

It's just?

Listening to his strange question, looking at the executive who seemed inexplicably calm, and wondering if he didn't understand the seriousness of the situation, Andre emphasized a little heavily:

"No, Mr. Executive, you must know that those contracts are to us now...."

"Well, I know, I know the importance of those contracts, so we have to figure it out now,"

However, after interrupting, Fangran simply expressed that he understood, and then he quietly stood up from the sofa to make arrangements.

"You deal with the group's problems first. I will take charge of this matter. I will also ask someone to take us to the data room. I want to see the scene where the safe was stolen."

And when he heard what he said, he felt uneasy but had no choice. Andre, who also stood up, had no choice but to nod solemnly:

"I'll let Danny lead the way for you two."

Following the supervisor who just left the small reception room, Fangran glanced at the iceberg beauty walking beside him, knowing that she must know clearly and asked softly:

"What was the signing of the agreement he just mentioned?"

Even though it was clear that no one here could understand the Chinese they spoke, the light of [Jing Pai] flashed at the fingertips,

Fangran was still extremely careful and careful to eliminate the sounds that could be heard.

"It was promoted by Esencoform and several large energy companies in North America, such as Xuelong and Royal Shell, to jointly transport oil in the Middle East on the same route to reduce ocean shipping costs,"

Her face was cold and white under her silver hair. Adeline looked at the calm explanation in front of her:

“The signing meeting of the North Atlantic Energy Transport Agreement.”

North Atlantic Energy Transport Agreement?

Hearing this seemingly powerful thing emerge from Adeline's words, Fangran turned to look at her in surprise in front of the elevator:

“Is this agreement important for the energy sector?”

"At the scale of Esenköferme, the loss of one or two chemical plants or power stations simply doesn't matter, so in order to shake our foundations,"

"They are targeting the upstream industry, that is, constantly disrupting the transportation link and attacking the overall industry in the energy field from raw materials,"

"Just like they do in the medical field."

Following the supervisor into the special elevator, I heard Adeline talk about the troubles encountered in the energy field, and recalled the busy days of the past few nights.

Fangran suddenly remembered that during the first meeting at Cosi Group, a female senior executive mentioned the problem of raw materials.

So this is what I was talking about at that time...

"So you want to use that agreement to tie the interests of other energy companies to yours, so that the association will give up action because it will cause huge social problems if it attacks so many companies?"

Listening to her explanation of the crisis and the cause-and-effect connection, Fangran suddenly understood the reason why Essenkfume wanted to sign this agreement.

No wonder the man just now was so anxious about the stolen contract...

But regarding Fangran's speculation, Adeline raised her cold and beautiful white face towards him and calmly denied:

"No, that's just an explanation for people inside Fiseld who don't know the underlying truth. Our real purpose is to use other energy companies to share the cost of changing transportation routes to avoid losses."

"Huh? Change course??"

Wei Wei was startled and unexpectedly made a sound. Fangran was puzzled and wondered why the purpose of blocking the transportation of raw materials was not to solve the problem of the association, but actually to change the route...

So what else is important about this agreement?

"Because of the cost of port calls, canals, etc., the oil extracted by Esencoforeme in the Middle East has been bypassing the Cape of Good Hope with a loading capacity of more than 300,000 tons,"

"But if the agreement is signed successfully, Middle East crude oil can then enter the Mediterranean Sea from the Arabian Sea, the Red Sea, through the Suez Canal, and pass through the Strait of Gibraltar and the Atlantic Ocean,"

"Finally arriving at a Texas port on the Gulf of Mexico."

Listening to Adeline casually speaking out a long list of place names this time, Fangran tried hard to roughly outline the route in his mind, using his geography knowledge that he had learned well in junior high school.

Then he discovered that some memory modules were aging and he rubbed his forehead and sighed:

"So what's the point of switching to this line?"

"If we switch to this route, our oil will pass through Europe. If there is a problem with the oil passing through Europe, then the Night Palace will have enough legitimate reasons to intervene in the investigation,"

"The association probably doesn't want to see this."

In the spacious elevator going down, Adeline looked at him calmly and said:

“That’s why we’re pushing for the North Atlantic Energy Transport Agreement.”

After listening to her words with a look of surprise and confusion, Fangran blinked blankly, and then he realized the reason why he was a little sensitive to the "Mediterranean" just now.

Isn't that underneath the sky castle? ?

Are you planning to drive under the Evernight Palace's hometown and ask the Queen to support you?

The association was unwilling, because Heel knew that those zero riders would not just check the crude oil and then go back obediently...

Looking dumbly at the cold and white imperial administrator in front of him, he calculated the relationship between the two overlords, the situation, and the curved way to save the country based on various factors.

Fangran was just astonished for a moment and didn't know what to say. He remembered their previous plan to move the industry to Europe.

No...Are you businessmen so good at hugging your thighs...
