Many so-called hardcore dog legs are secretly sneaking around and making small moves.
The ball has entered this big reshuffle because of this crude oil crisis.
The major crude oil producers staying in Chang ‘an are also looking for the Hope Energy Alliance to give them a chance to live.
It was not until February 17th that May Company received the notice from the Energy Alliance and agreed to their meeting request.
Chapter three hundred and sixty-one Interest quality
When chairman Arthur, president A Min and senior consultant Dowling of Aramco stepped into the headquarters building of the Energy Alliance.
The three of them have an illusion of being separated from each other. They actually witnessed the fall of the pole 20 years ago. Twenty years later, this blue planet returned to the era of bipolar hegemony.
And this time it is the re-emergence of the ancient world hegemon, a world hegemon with great resilience.
Gently pushing the door, Arthur saw Luo Tuo, the rotating chairman of the Energy Alliance, and Li Yangling, the president of United Petroleum.
At one time, the two sides also sat at the negotiating table many times. During the negotiations, it was Aramco that held the initiative to unite oil, which was very passive and resistant.
At this moment, the negotiations between the two sides have been completely reversed, and the energy alliance holds the initiative, while Aramco has fallen into a passive and tyrannical situation.
Whether or not Arthur, A Min and others can accept this reality, this negotiation.
"May company, what do you want to talk about?" Luo tuo casually asked
Arthur also knew that he would always come and said, "President Luo and President Li, our company came with sincerity. For a misunderstanding, our company is willing to compensate you for 50 thousand tons of crude oil to make up for your losses."
"50 thousand?" Li Yangling was noncommittal
Apparently, Aramco got some information about Lucia Oil Company and planned to break the financial disaster, but the Energy Alliance did not give a reply.
A little anxious, Arthur said again, "What about President Li’s 60 thousand tons?"
"I’m a little uneasy about your sincerity. After all, some things are always full of surprises," Li Yangling said coldly.
Arthur, A Min and Dowling discussed it for a while before they blurted out another condition: "We agree to make Huayuan settle some crude oil and natural gas."
"How much is part of it?" Luo tuo eyebrows a pick.
"Up to about 3%" A Min replied.
Roto shook his head "too low"
With a wry smile, A Min explained, "President Luo is also very difficult for us. After all, if the ratio is too high, North America is not easy to deal with."
Luo Tuo, Li Yangling and others naturally know that Aramco needs to take great risks to settle some Chinese dollars while continuing to settle rice dollars, so that they can continue to ride the wall.
After discussing for a while, Luo Tuo nodded, "3% is also acceptable, but should you prepare some money?"
Arthur immediately smiled and said, "We will buy a batch of debts amounting to 300 million yuan and prepare 1.5 billion yuan in foreign exchange."
The two sides talked for a long time. On behalf of Saudi Arabia Kingdom, Aramco compensated the Energy Alliance for 60,000 tons of crude oil, purchased 300 million yuan of bonds, and exchanged 1.5 billion yuan of crude oil for foreign exchange reserves.
In addition, there are many conditions attached, such as allowing the energy alliance to develop oil fields and gas fields in sandy land.
Then, the seawater desalination plant project, which has been dragging on for a long time, was signed, and five projects were all seawater desalination projects with an annual output of 500 million cubic meters of purified water.
And signed a 30,000-mu desert reconstruction contract with the grain alliance to prepare the Saudi kingdom to develop desert agriculture.
The basic plan even includes a 3.5 billion yuan arms sales contract.
After the news that the Energy Alliance resumed the quota of crude oil import in Saudi Arabia, the price of crude oil futures rose immediately.
On the same day, the price of Dubai acid crude oil futures on the Lion City Exchange soared from 642 meters per barrel to 331 meters per barrel.
London Brent crude oil also soared to 315 meters per barrel.
Finally, the New York Stock Exchange, but the price increase here is not fast, which may be related to the recent high margin of the NYSE’s overseas account restrictions. On the same day, the price of new york crude oil futures rose to 267 meters per barrel.
For more than a week, the energy alliance negotiated with crude oil producers all over the world and allocated them some quotas.
Although the import volume of 2.5 billion tons in the peak period has not been restored, the purchase volume has reached about 1.6 billion tons one after another, and the price is 15~25 yuan per barrel.
