Rebirth of Xiangjiang: Across the World

Zheng Yaoyang waited in Shanghai for two days, and finally waited for the mayor of Shanghai.

If he remembered correctly, the other party will probably be transferred in the middle of next year to be the director of the Economic and Trade Office.

After a few years, he served as the head of the People's Bank of China. After that, his career progressed all the way, and he finally became the second in command in the second year after Xiangjiang returned to the motherland.

Including the development of Pudong, the magical city in April this year, he was almost in charge of it. Zheng Yaoyang thought of him immediately when he wanted to cash in crude oil.

The two agreed to meet at two o'clock in the afternoon.

The mayor arrived on time, dusty and dusty, with a tired face, and asked with a smile, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zheng, for making you wait so long."

Zheng Yaoyang hurriedly said: "Mayor, you are welcome. You usually have a lot of things to do. I have something to ask for, so I should wait."

He didn't say too many polite words, and bluntly said that he came to Shanghai this time to ask for help.

The mayor was surprised, and took up the quarrel, and continued to ask: "There are really not many things that can stump Mr. Zheng."

"You think too highly of me." Zheng Yaoyang smiled wryly, and then briefly explained the purpose of this trip.

They hold about 7400 million barrels of crude oil in their hands and asked if the mainland is interested in taking over.

The mayor opened his eyes wide and estimated slightly: "The total value should be close to 26 billion US dollars?"

Zheng Yaoyang replied: "According to the latest price, it should only be 25.85 billion US dollars."

Since the price of crude oil rose and fell that night, it has been hovering at the price of 35 US dollars.

They were originally worth 29.25 billion contracts, and currently only have 25.85 billion US dollars left.

"That night, were you manipulating the price of crude oil?"

The mayor frowned, and immediately thought of the abnormal price of crude oil some time ago.

It's just that he didn't expect Zheng Yaoyang to be behind the international oil price surge.

Looking at him, his eyes were full of admiration. This 20-year-old boy, whose business is getting bigger and bigger, dares to grab food from Lao Mei now.

Zheng Yaoyang nodded with a wry smile, and at the same time told the truth about the predicament he was facing.

He can't sell this batch of goods now, so he can only find someone to help sell them on a consignment basis. If the mainland is willing to take over, it only costs US$30 per barrel, and he will sell it first and then pay.

In the early 90s, although the development of the mainland was not very good, it was still the largest oil importer in Asia.

Last year, the import volume of crude oil reached 292 million tons, equal to 149 kilograms per barrel, totaling 1959 million barrels.

They hold 7200 million barrels, and even if the mainland does not sell them, they can consume them internally in the future.

And this price is also very low, not to mention the current value of 35 US dollars per barrel, just reselling it will make a profit of several hundred million US dollars.

Even if you don't sell it now,

You will never lose money if you hold it in your hand.

Because next year's Gulf War will not only conquer Iraq, but also let the Arab countries see the strong military value of the old United States, and worship the bald eagle as their godfather.

It coincided with the disintegration of the Soviet Union, and the old United States became the hegemon, holding the power to price crude oil, based on the idea that the price of oil was too low, which was not conducive to the struggle of developing countries.

So after the end of the Gulf War, until the Millennium laundry powder incident broke out, the price of international crude oil has been stable at more than 30 US dollars.

The mayor pondered for a long time: "This year's domestic crude oil imports should not be enough. Let me inquire and see if I can help you solve part of it."

"If you trust the country, we can help you sell it for free without taking any money."

There is a special office in Beijing, which specializes in researching the situation in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and organizes information.

A few days ago, almost all the bosses in Xiangjiang were dispatched, and this news quickly spread to the capital.

Coincidentally at this time, Zheng Yaoyang came to the Devil's City to look for him, and told about this incident again.

It is not difficult to guess that it is not Zheng Yaoyang's personal behavior to be long crude oil, and it is possible that all the bigwigs in Hong Kong have participated.

So this is a very good opportunity for them, because he can guarantee that few countries in the world dare to take over this contract.

Making money is a small matter, but offending Lao Mei is a big matter, but they are not afraid, and it's not like they haven't dealt with Lao Mei head-on.

Properly lending a helping hand now can make Xiangjiang's business leaders feel grateful, and let them know that returning to the motherland is not a bad thing. At least others dare not offend Lao Mei, but they dare.

Zheng Yaoyang pondered for a long time, and wanted to understand the mayor's true intention: "Thank you for your kindness, then I will not shirk it."

He came to Shanghai this time to ask for help. Anyway, this favor will be owed sooner or later, and it is not a bad thing for someone to share the burden.

A smile appeared on the mayor's face, his eyes were soft, and he admired Zheng Yaoyang more and more.

Through this incident, it can also be seen that Zheng Yaoyang fell out with the Wall Street group.

It is also good news. If he is in charge of Xiangjiang's business in the future, at least there will be no major troubles.

Because Zheng Yaoyang is very young, it is not a problem to live another 57 years, and he can directly solve the problems of the next generation in advance.

The two chatted happily, and the secretary of the mayor called to inquire that there was still a shortage of 800 million barrels of crude oil this year.

Considering that the Gulf will not stop for the time being and the price of oil will rise in the coming year, it is finally decided to purchase 1000 million barrels to help solve one-seventh of the problem at one time.

At the same time, Zheng Yaoyang received a call from Li Jiacheng. They had successfully arrived in Xiangjiang, but as soon as the plane landed, someone wanted to take Wade away.

Zheng Yaoyang frowned and asked, "Who is it?"

Li Jiacheng replied: "The General Administration of Police said that Lao Mei issued an international arrest warrant, requesting the British Hong Kong government to assist in the extradition of criminals back to China for trial."

Lao Li also said that fortunately they ran fast. He heard that just after they left London, Wade's temporary residence in London was caught in a fire.

"You didn't let them succeed, did you?"

Zheng Yaoyang fell into deep thought, the matter has come to this point, Lao Mei should know that there is nothing he can do to turn back the sky, the purpose of doing this is probably to give him a bad impression.

"How is it possible, they all come to Xiangjiang, how can it be their turn to be presumptuous." Li Jiacheng said.

"Okay, I'll go back right away."

Zheng Yaoyang asked the mayor to bring a message to Liang Xiaonian. If he thinks about it, after a while, Heung Kong Telecom will send people to Shanghai to discuss cooperation.

After finishing speaking, he also apologized, and hurried to the international airport in Shanghai, planning to take a plane back to Xiangjiang.

The mayor watched, but didn't say a word. Zheng Yaoyang came to Shanghai to ask for help. It was his personal behavior, and it could also be regarded as a commercial behavior.

The person was arrested at Xiangjiang Airport, regardless of whether he agrees to extradition in the end, it is Xiangjiang's internal affairs.

They cannot help, and will not help, because it will destroy the deep friendship between China and Britain.

Zheng Yaoyang also knew this, so he didn't seek help from the mayor of the magic city.

Two and a half hours later, Zheng Yaoyang returned to Xiangjiang, Li Jiacheng's eldest son Li Zheju was waiting for him at the airport.

On their way to the Police Headquarters, Li Zheju briefly described what happened in the past few hours.

The General Police Department requested to arrest Wade, but Li Jiacheng did not agree, and the two sides had a stalemate at the airport for more than half an hour.

In the end, each took a step back and went to the General Administration for a detailed discussion. Li Jiacheng also sent a team of lawyers to accompany them there all the time, so as not to be taken away suddenly.

Zheng Yaoyang pondered for a moment and asked: "Brother Li, what is the current direction of public opinion?"

"Aside from saying things that please people's hearts, what else can they say." Li Zheju couldn't help but sneer.

As soon as Dad and his plane landed, the police officers came over, and the news spread quickly.

Some people who didn't know thought that the Li family would declare bankruptcy tomorrow.
