Chapter 537 Finalizing the Crude Oil Order
There is no reason to come to visit empty-handed. Wu Qian also brought a bottle of Romanée-Conti winery not for sale when he attended the party he held, so he naturally had to express it.

It just so happened that he had a box of such pearl products beside him, which was considered a special product of their country, and it was the top-notch one, which was exclusively for the royal family, so he brought it here, which was considered appropriate for the occasion.

"Sartmucci, I've made up my mind, thank you."

Wu Qian took the small gift, admired it in a decent way, and then put it aside. He really didn't dare to eat this kind of weird nutritional food, but he couldn't deny his kindness.

The price of pearl powder is not so expensive, even if it is a fine powder of less than ten microns ground from deep-sea natural pearls, one gram is only fifty or sixty soft sister coins.

The box that Sartmuzzi gave Wu Qian must be better than the commercially available ones. After all, it is exclusive to the royal family, but the price is about 20 per gram, or [-] per kilogram.

But someone specially sent a gift to the family to express their condolences. The gift is light and the affection is heavy.

Wu Qian knew why Sartmucci did this. He remembered that Yao Xinlu was still staying up late in the distant capital waiting for news, so he said directly: "Sartmucci, if you don't come to see me, I just happen to have to call Looking for you, I have made arrangements for the crude oil reserves."

"An oil storage base has been approved, which can store at least 8000 million barrels of crude oil and can be stored at any time. I wonder if it is convenient for you to start trading?"

Sartmucci was picking up the black tea brought by Wu Qian's servants. Hearing Wu Qian's words, he hurriedly put down the teacup and said repeatedly: "Convenient, very convenient. Although domestic crude oil production capacity has been reduced, there are still 900 million barrels a day. Yield."

"Wu, during the time you deploy the tanker, I will order people to prepare the crude oil and wait quietly in Dammam Port in the Persian Gulf. It will definitely not exceed ten days!"

Dammam Port is an important port of Saudi Arabia in the Persian Gulf. It was a port that emerged with the development of the oil industry in the 40s. There are very developed roads and railways leading to the capital and the center of large oil fields.

The main export goods of Daman Port are oil and some oil-related products, and most of the imported goods are industrial equipment, vehicles, cement, grain and department stores.

Wu Qian believed that Sartmucci would not let him go, but he still hoped to get an affirmative answer. After getting the definite news, he stood up and said, "I'm going to make a call and talk to the subordinate who is helping me with this project. .”

After all, Wu Qian went to the window and called Yao Xinlu.

"General Manager Yao, that friend from Saudi Arabia happened to come to me. I have already confirmed the crude oil transaction with him. 4000 million barrels of crude oil will be ready within ten days. How do you arrange the transportation?"

Yao Xinlu helped her forehead, she just said that she doesn't have a professional title, why is this so.

Well, well, let’s call it a professional title when talking about business.

"I have calculated before that if you want to transport it back to China at one time, you need at least [-] Aframax tankers, which are the most widely used in China, and there are only a few domestic shipping companies that can carry them."

Wu Qian didn't intend to worry about these trivial matters, he tapped his fingers on the window sill, and suddenly remembered something.

"Yao Xinlu, I remember you told me that your parents are the directors of a multinational shipping group, right? Can the shipping group your parents work in mobilize [-] tankers like the one you mentioned?"

Yao Xinlu didn't expect Wu Qian to remember what she said earlier.

For this business, she has no selfish intentions, but Wu Qianneng mentioned that she was very happy in her heart.

"I suggest that you check the price first in the market before making a decision. In the past month, shipping prices around the world have been soaring, which is very unstable. I heard from my dad a few days ago that shipping from the Middle East to China cost a barrel from $1.3 went up to $6."

Yao Xinlu has a thin skin, she is embarrassed to accept this kind of thing, and she deliberately explained the reason. According to her opinion, it is a business, and whichever is cheaper should be used.

"Hey, it's interesting. As the price of oil drops, the shipping cost will rise. Anyway, if you buy it together, it won't be much cheaper. Okay, go and inquire about the shipping cost. We'll make a decision after reading it."

Wu Qian knew in his heart that there was a high probability that this order would eventually fall on the shipping group of Yao Xinlu's parents.

However, price comparison is still necessary. If Yao Xinlu's parent's group is rashly allowed to take over the big order, if there is something tricky about the price, Yao Xinlu's face will be unsettled, and the relationship between him and Yao Xinlu will be tense.

The idea in Wu Qian's heart is that I can take care of your business, but everyone is open and honest, I will take care of you, so don't cheat me.

Yao Xinlu was able to roughly understand what Wu Qian was thinking, and Wu Qian's ability to tell her father to take care of the order fully demonstrated Wu Qian's trust in her, and she would naturally not live up to this trust.

On this matter, she and Wu Qian have a high degree of agreement. She also wants the shipping company run by her parents to take over the order, but it must be based on the price advantage.

"By the way, say hello to the Energy Bureau, and ask some experienced people to follow, and nothing will happen. That's it, good night."

After speaking, Wu Qian was ready to hang up the phone.

Yao Xinlu also seemed to know about Wu Qian's habits, so she hurriedly said, "Wu Qian, pay attention to rest on the plane, and have a good trip!"

Wu Qian was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Well, I see, you should take a rest too, you will be busy tomorrow, so hang up."

After he finished talking on the phone, he then discussed the details of crude oil transportation with Sartmucci, and they chatted on the cruise ship.

Of course, it was under the deliberate guidance of Sartmucci.

Wu Qian knew that the other party was anxious, and the crude oil had reached this point, so it was time to solve the other party's problem.

"Sartmucci, where is 'Symphony of the Sea' now docked?" he asked.

"The cruise ship is still operating normally, and it should be sailing the route from the island country to Australia. I can ask for the detailed latitude and longitude..."

While talking, Satmuzi ordered the people around him to call the staff on the cruise ship.

Wu Qian waved his hand, stopped the opponent's movements, and said, "Don't worry, Satmuzi, I have a suggestion, listen to me."

"I believe in your sincerity. If you also believe in me, the cruise ship will berth at a certain port in China after this voyage. When the crude oil trading contract is signed, I will immediately solve your difficulties, how about it?"

All the conversations between Wu Qian and Satmuzi can only be regarded as verbal agreements, and if there is a transaction of 4000 million barrels of crude oil, there will be a very standardized legal process.
