Thank you for the reward from the book friend China Raul.
I beg you for the February monthly pass.
Also, for the sake of the Lone Wolf to accelerate the update, let's give more recommendation votes! Another, I from.
The point began to be uploaded, but the result was that the point had not been uploaded yet, and it was very depressing.
In the spacious office of the purchasing department of the Scomo oil company, all the office members looked at the minister's office like frightened birds.
Nakaichi Sato was roaring loudly inside.
Although they couldn't hear what they were talking about, they could guess from the constant "eight ga" in Sato Naka's mouth that this was definitely not good news.
Since Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in the Middle East, Nakaichi Sato, who was originally polite to his subordinates, seems to have changed as if he has changed a person, not only has a lot of temper, but also has a much harsher requirements for these subordinates.
Even Sato Nakachi has always been fond of, the flower of their office, the famous beautiful secretary of the Scomo oil company, Satomiko Matsushita, was severely criticized by Sato Nakaichi because of a trivial matter the day before yesterday, according to relevant sources, the day before yesterday, Matsushita Satomiko, but Minister Sato Nakaichi and Sato were allowed to go home until late at night.
"You know, when Satomiko came home, she had a hard time walking.
So the next morning, I didn't come to work on time," a female employee said to her companion mysteriously.
"It's not to blame the minister, I heard that the president is very dissatisfied with our procurement department not being able to purchase enough crude oil this month, and Minister Sato must be under a lot of pressure."
Some people don't think so.
"It's not just a lot of pressure, have you heard, our competitor, the head of the procurement department of Shikoku Shifa Co., Ltd., was kicked out of other departments the day before yesterday because of poor procurement."
There are well-informed people.
"Really?" "Really?" Everyone asked in surprise.
For refiners like theirs, a purchasing department.
A sales department, that is a good position that can not be fatter, and there is a vacancy in the upper level of a county, and the leaders of these two departments are the easiest to promote.
If you say that if you are transferred to another department, even if it is the name of an ordinary vice president, it may be a demotion in disguise.
"Of course it's true, Shikoku Oil Co., Ltd. is miserable this time, not only did it not get enough crude oil contracts, but what is more troublesome is that a considerable part of their original contracts were supplied by Kuwait Oil Company, and now Kuwait is occupied by Iraq, and there is a shortage of soldiers there.
Who has the heart to fulfill a contract? So it is said that the gap is quite large! The man said proudly, "This is inside information, and Shikoku Oil Co., Ltd. has not officially announced it from time to time." ”
"What are you all doing together? Don't hurry up to work, oil, immediately find me oil! Whoever can't find enough oil will have their salary halved this month! Sato Nakaichi roared like thunder in the minister's room, and immediately everyone in the office dispersed like birds and beasts.
In the past few days, Sato Zhongichi has been driven crazy by this oil, seeing that the price of this oil is the same every day, but the amount of oil sold in the futures market every day is a drop in the bucket! That little bit of crude oil has to be eyed by the major refining companies in Shijie, and Scomo Oil Company is only the third in Japan, and it is easy to imagine how difficult it is to pull teeth from the tiger's mouth.
These days, I have only grabbed a few futures contracts with a total amount of only more than $30 million.
The procurement department and Southeast Asia and China import oil negotiations are still ongoing, from the current situation, want to obtain a large amount of oil in a short period of time, the situation is not optimistic, today's crude oil production enterprises, generally reluctant to sell, no contract, want to get an extra barrel of oil from them, it is not easy.
But this is also a normal thing, as long as you hold the crude oil in your hand for a few more days, you may sell for one to two dollars more per barrel of oil, this kind of beautiful thing, who wouldn't do it! He had already heard that the purchasing director of Shikoku Oil Co., Ltd. had been transferred to the propaganda department, and although his rank had not been reduced, everyone understood that he had been put into the cold palace and his future was worrisome.
If you can't change your current situation in the near future, then your present is your future.
Thinking of this, Sato Nakaichi walked around the minister's room like a hungry dog in distress.
He had to find a breakthrough, to buy enough oil as soon as possible, otherwise his future in Scomo Oil would be over.
I am already nearly 50 years old, and once I am adjusted to an irrelevant department by the company, it is more difficult than climbing to the sky.
And in that case, it will also have a great impact on your retirement income in the future.
So he couldn't allow that to happen! But now he is full of strength, and he doesn't know where to go.
The United Nations has passed a resolution on imposing economic sanctions against Iraq and immediately began to implement it, and in the future, there will be no oil supply from Iraq and Kuwait, and the oil supply in the Shijie oil market will be greatly reduced, while OPEC oil producers such as Saudi Arabia are still chattering about whether to immediately increase oil production.
In the near future, the oil shortage can be said to be a foregone conclusion.
In Japan, there are a large number of oil reserves, but the Prime Minister is not ready to approve the use of the country's oil reserves.
Scomo's own oil reserves alone will not be able to meet the company's long-term needs.
Now he can only hope that his friends can find out from those who are engaged in futures trading who the account that has been absorbing oil futures since four months ago is from.
If you can get in touch with this mysterious person, then maybe there is a chance that Sato Nakaichi will be struggling with this.
Looking forward to the response, Fang Mingyuan had already stepped on the passenger plane to Saudi Arabia.
Fang Mingyuan really took a lot of words to persuade Old Man Guo and Su Huandong to agree to go to Saudi Arabia to find members of the Kuwaiti royal family.
And it was with the assistance of Su Huandong and Mr. Guo that he was able to successfully obtain a visa to Saudi Arabia.
Sitting in the first class, he was looking through the information in his hand to learn about Kuwait and Saudi Arabia... The old one is the latest one.
His main purpose was to meet with Kuwaiti Governor Yan Ba Yun and donate another amount of money to them to win some favor and lay a foundation for further contacts in the future.
As for the Saudi Arabian royal family, he has no plans to contact it yet.
Although it is said that with his current net worth, he can be regarded as quite a wealthy person in Shijie, but compared to these Arab royal families lying on oil, it is definitely a small thing! I remember in my previous life, Fang Mingyuan once heard that in the seventies, the rich Arab royal family went to London to look at the house, pointed to the fancy and said, "I want this, I want that." ”
Usually "this and that."
Refers to an entire street.
Moreover, the wealthy people of the Gulf like to buy real estate in Europe and travel to Europe for vacation.
It is said that a Saudi prince tasted all his dishes at a well-known restaurant in Paris, threw down a dozen bills as a tip, and went away satisfied.
After counting the tips, the attendants who served him were surprised to go crazy and tip more than they earned in a year.
There is also a royal family for his birthday, and his family gave him the latest Boeing as a birthday gift.
The Kuwaiti royal family is the Sabah family, who have ruled Kuwait since the mid-18th century AD.
Kuwait declared independence in 1961.
The patriarch of the Al-Sabah family became the Emir of Kuwait.
The Sabah family was divided into Jaber and Salim, and the patriarchs of the two branches took turns to inherit the throne of Kuwait.
The current emir is Jaber III, also known as Jaber al-Ahmad Sabah, a Kuwaiti monarch who will not die until the next century and reigns for nearly three decades.
The reason why Fang Mingyuan remembers him so clearly is because his heir, Saad Abdullah Salim Sabah, the emir of Kuwait, is a famous person in the history of Shijie.
He ascended the throne in the year of the blade jade, and was forced to abdicate in the same month, and only became the monarch for ten days.
He is the shortest-reigning monarch in Kuwait's history and one of the shortest-reigning monarchs on Shijie.
Saad served as Prime Minister of Kuwait until he became the first emir of Kuwait and, after the Gulf War, Commander-in-Chief of Kuwait's armed forces.
It was only when Ebimi Jaber III died, he had already contracted bowel cancer and had to attend the funeral of the former emir without being in a wheelchair.
Prime Minister Sabah al-Ahmad Jaber Sabah, the half-brother of King Jaber III, took the opportunity to lead the cabinet to initiate the constitutional process, forcing Saad to abdicate and be succeeded by Sabah on the pretext that he was old and sick and unable to govern.
For Chinese people, the more familiar is Prince Fahd of the Kuwaiti royal family who died in the Iraq war, he is the youngest brother of King Jaber III, has held a number of important positions in international sports, and was the president of the Olympic Council of Asia at that time.
In 90, the 11th Asian Games will be held in the capital of China, which is the first time that China has hosted a large-scale sports event since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
However, due to last year's turmoil, many Western countries took the opportunity to encourage the countries of Asia to boycott the Asian Games and even lobbied Prince Fahd, but Prince Fahd believed that politics and sports should not be mixed and insisted on holding the 11th Asian Games in the capital of China.
According to his relatives later, Prince Fahd originally planned to attend the opening ceremony of the Asian Games, and specially asked the staff of the Chinese Embassy in Kuwait to translate a few sentences of the speech into Chinese for him, so as to pay tribute to the Chinese people.
And this time, Fang Mingyuan came to Saudi Arabia to look for the royal family of Witt, and he also planned to take the line of King Fahd.
The middle-aged man sitting next to him, named Lu Zhengde, is the British-Chinese that Mr. Guo found for him in Hong Kong, and is the overseas manager of the Kwok's Shipping Group in charge of the Middle East.
happened to go back to Hong Kong for a vacation, and was sent by Mr. Guo to help Fang Mingyuan.
"Mr. Fang, have you remembered all the precautions I told you?" Lu Zhengde told Fang Ming to go from afar, and along the way, he had said these matters many times.
Some of them were originally known by Fang Mingyuan, for example, alcoholic beverages or pork cannot be brought into the country, and once the goods are found to be confiscated and destroyed, the carrier will be arrested and subject to a high fine; Audio-visual and printed materials with exposed and obscene content cannot be carried; The passport cannot be stamped with an Israeli visa, otherwise it will be barred from entering the country; No photographs of people, especially local women; What other women can't go out alone, they must be accompanied by family members, etc.
But there are some things that Fang Mingyuan didn't know in advance, for example, in Saudi Arabia, not only is drug smuggling a capital offense, but even if you bring Chinese patent medicine or a larger dose of personal medicine into the country, you must also provide a doctor's prescription, otherwise you will also be in trouble; Moreover, it is forbidden to take photos in public places and scenic spots in Saudi Arabia.
You can't take photos of people without your permission, and smoking is prohibited. Men are not allowed to go out in public places with their chests and backs bare-chested or wearing shorts."
Fang Mingyuan nodded, this time when he came to Saudi Arabia, in order to avoid trouble, Fang Mingyuan didn't bring anything that was forbidden in Saudi Arabia, so he didn't even bring a camera when he went to an Arab country for the first time.
Even Lin Lian stayed in Hong Kong and did not follow him, only Chen Zhong accompanied him.
Originally, Old Man Guo planned to send a few more people to protect him, but Fang Mingyuan refused.
Today's public security in Saudi Arabia is not as chaotic as in the previous life, and there is a big difference between Saudi Arabia and China's national conditions, and there are many people, which may be more eye-catching.
"But you don't have to be too nervous, although the mainland and Saudi Arabia have only established diplomatic relations in eight or eight years, but the relationship between the two countries is quite harmonious, as long as it is not a heinous mistake, under normal circumstances, Saudi Arabians will not be too difficult to comfort our people Lu Zhengde.
This mission came quite suddenly, and it was also quite mysterious.
The dignified representative of Huaguo's Shipping Group Company in Saudi Arabia returned to China for only a week's vacation, and then accompanied Mr. Fang and his entourage to Saudi Arabia.
So far, he has not figured out why Fang Mingyuan came to Saudi Arabia for.
But the company asked him to cooperate with Fang Mingyuan as much as possible, and this order was given to him by Guo Tianyu personally.
The other party is Mingyuan, and Lu Zhengde naturally doesn't dare to be a little lazy.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the plane is about to arrive at the destination of your trip, please fasten your seat belts, put down the small table, and the plane is about to land! Have a great trip! With the sweet voices of the flight attendants, everyone fastened their seat belts, and the plane began to prepare for landing, and their first stop in Saudi Arabia was the port of Jeddah!
