Winner Takes It All, Resurrection 2009

Chapter 755: The ship sets sail

“Buy in, no matter how many orders there are, take them all.

Yes, buy all the January and March half-yearly purchases for me. Don’t be afraid to spend money, just eat as much as you can.”

Lin Wenhui once again transformed into the Roaring Emperor. Facing reports and consultations from investment teams distributed all over the world, he just said one sentence: Get them all!
"I'll say this one last time. Don't take it lightly, because if you're held accountable later, it could be a serious matter that could cost you your life!

The boss has only one sentence: the initial target is $100 per barrel. No matter how much it costs, the price must be below $100 before the end of the year. Do you understand me? "

He heaved a sigh of relief after getting a definite answer, and then discussed with Yao Xiangjun who had hurried over, "How are your arrangements going?"

"What else can we do? We have even placed an order with the financial institution we contacted. Don't worry, we have sufficient funds and the first mortgage fund has already been in place."

Yao Xiangjun did not let down his guard at the critical moment. "The U.S. stock market pledged an additional $15 billion, plus funds controlled by nearly secret funds and shadow institutions that were prepared in advance.

The scale has exceeded 350 billion US dollars, and this money can be poured into the New York and Chicago exchanges at any time. "

"This amount of money is not enough, and it is not yet a critical moment, so it cannot be used for the time being."

Lin Wenhui refused without even thinking, "Where's Xiao Chengdong? And let Wu Yibin, President Wu, quickly mobilize public opinion, so that everyone can participate and discuss it, and let the whole world know about it.

People all over the world have suffered from high oil prices for a long time, and it would be best if everyone could punish the manipulators behind the scenes! "

"It's already being done, but Xiao Chengdong has gone to West Asia. The boss has asked him to cooperate with the China Merchants Group to rush to transport oil from Persia and the big households."

Yao Xiangjun is knowledgeable and experienced, and he has invested hundreds of billions of dollars frequently. But this time he was shocked by the huge investment of Dongda Capital.

The scene was like thousands of ships setting out to sea, on an unprecedented scale.

In the two years from 11 to 12, the group's first chess piece to break the deadlock, the ship transport tonnage ordered to major shipyards in Dongda finally came in handy, and COSCO Shipping was the only one.

At one time, 110 crude oil tankers with a deadweight of more than 6 tons were deployed. Since the signing of the secret agreement in November, the faster ships have made six or seven trips back and forth.

There are five or six slower ones. In short, on the transportation route from West Asia to the eastern coast, there are oil tankers manufactured by Dongda or leased by Dongda enterprises sailing against the wind and waves almost every moment.

The transport resources of some European transport companies were also attracted and they worked overtime to transport crude oil reserves to Dongda and Southeast Asia.

Everyone knows that this is the last chance before the war. Although the cost of storing crude oil is not low, the capital led by Qingyun Group is the main force in suppressing oil prices.

It is said that it is a waste of money to stockpile crude oil at high prices in advance and then suppress the oil price. Oh, buying at high prices in advance and then lowering the price later is just a waste of money.

But in actual practice, this seemingly self-contradictory economic behavior is the truly effective means.

The logic is very simple. In the supply and demand relationship, the party with demand should reserve a large amount of inventory in advance so that it can make targeted layouts with confidence in the subsequent price war.

Want to sell at a high price?

sure!
I have four or five months of inventory reserves, so I just don't need to buy. What's more, oil-producing countries have asset investments in consumer countries. You want to use oil as a weapon for blackmail, right?

If you impose sanctions on them and they still refuse to back down, don’t blame the consumer economies for taking direct action, arresting people, freezing accounts, imposing huge fines, or even eventually driving them out of the market!
Even if the oil-producing states are backed by U.S. capital, so what? Haven’t you seen that all the major economies are now attacking U.S. capital as well?
I dare to say one more thing. If several major economies unite, they can even send powerful forces to the borders of oil-producing countries and conduct powerful exercises.

Does American capital dare to continue protecting oil-producing countries at the risk of going to war with the world?

The few large companies that have lost the protection of American capital are no match for any powerful economy at all, and can be completely controlled in minutes!

So putting aside the last resort and only considering the economic decision-making stage, fair trading will benefit everyone. Since consumer countries have sufficient reserves, oil-producing countries will lose the largest market demand in the future.

Naturally, the price has to be lowered, which will achieve the commercial purpose of various countries shorting crude oil, before the US capital can offer enough benefits to buy off the division.

They also dare not overly stimulate the alliance of economies that are close together, otherwise, if it is not handled properly, it will cause huge trouble.

Therefore, the rush to transport oil is still going on. Taking Ningbo Port as an example, at most one 100,000-ton giant oil tanker docks every hour. In Shanghai, Yangcheng, Zhanjiang, Huangdao, Lushun and other oil refining and storage bases.

Every day, there are a steady stream of fully loaded oil tankers docking to unload oil.

On land, a steady stream of oil resources is rapidly transferred from port cities to inland areas through oil pipelines and other land transportation methods.

The two oil giants plus CNOOC also received clear orders from above that from January 2013, 1, in addition to the strategic reserves of the National Strategic Resources Reserve Administration, the three oil giants must guarantee a minimum market demand for 1 days.

All additional storage, transportation and procurement losses will be fully funded by the central bank, finance department and financial institutions, and additional special subsidies are allowed from the profits invested in energy futures.

All chemical energy and refineries are operating at full capacity to ensure domestic energy security at all costs. At the same time, unlimited quantities of refined oil from stockpiles will be supplied to Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand to help allies survive a possible oil trade war!
At the same time, crude oil and natural gas extracted from Brunei, Indonesia, Luzon, Siam and other places are transported by offshore ships and quickly arrive at the Guangdong East Refining and Chemical Base.

After production, it is supplied to the Southeast Asian market as soon as possible, and a strategic reserve system is established for it. At the same time, Singapore's refining capacity is also fully utilized, and it begins to supply its allies in unlimited quantities.

In short, all parties are working hard, but the Koreans, who are slow to realize the situation, are suffering, because at the same time, it seems that everyone in the world is rushing to transport oil and shorting energy futures.

Even the neighboring Jiaoben Chicken secretly transported refined oil from eastern Shandong and Liaodong to their home by shipload (part of the energy agreement. After all, Jiaoben Chicken is nominally controlled by American capital and dare not openly oppose it.

But there is no problem with Dongda supplying part of the crude oil and a small amount of refined oil. After all, the bulk of it is still supplied by American energy companies and big cat Far East Petroleum).

When the Korean came to his senses and wanted to rush the oil home, a strange thing happened. Every day the crude oil price dropped a little, the Korean became more anxious.

Otherwise, you would say they are mentally ill. With the drop in crude oil prices, the Koreans, who rely entirely on imports, are not only unhappy, but are also angry and cursing at the department responsible for specific affairs.

They even went so far as to publicly abuse the Qingyun Group internationally, accusing it of being a shameless thief that had stolen shipping resources that should have belonged to the Koreans.

The Qingyun faction was not willing to tolerate this and immediately cursed back, making the Korean so angry that he threatened to sue the United Nations and make the Qingyun faction pay the price it deserved. Why?

It is true that the price of crude oil has fallen, but we can buy it in Korea but we cannot transport it back!
Don’t ask, the answer is there is no boat!

Even the shipping resources of its American father were snatched away in advance by Oumeng and Jiaobenji Enterprises. If they want to wait until the contract expires and a vacancy appears, they will have to wait at least four or five months.

By then, it will be too late to develop. South Korea’s core industries such as shipbuilding, automobiles, and semiconductors are all based on petrochemicals. Without energy and electricity resources, there is no point in developing them!
Ou Meng, the Koreans don’t dare to mess with you.

Chicken in a basin, the Koreans are a bit timid.

Dongda, the Koreans who had to bow their heads under the eaves at this time, no longer had the arrogance of the past. They could only humbly beg for several ships to transport resources for emergency relief.

However, South Korea became nervous when it came to the Qingyun Group. It launched an investigation, threatened to impose fines, and even instructed South Korea's domestic ocean shipping companies to secretly breach contracts.

But upon closer inspection, wow, they are all leased by shipping groups from Hans, America, Gaul, Daiying, Switzerland, Big Cat, and Singapore. None of them are people that the Koreans can afford to offend.

Li Zehua is so smart. Although the Qingyun Group is powerful in the business field, it is still a little bit short of being able to deal with South Korea, an economy ranked among the top ten in the world.

Just because Qingyun can't deal with it doesn't mean other economies can't control it. Just spend some money to get these big groups that the Koreans can't afford to offend to intervene, and they will be forced to swallow their bitterness in no time. If you have the ability, break the contract with the European and American big cat super group, and see who pampers it!
The Koreans begged and pleaded but got no advantage. In the end, they could only watch with tears in their eyes as the whole world rushed to transport energy resources, while they could only envy and drool.

Finally, they were left with no other choice but to make up their minds and buy out part of the transportation contracts at a price 30-60% higher than the market price, which was enough to barely meet the minimum domestic demand.

What can Qingyun do?
Of course I will collect the money with a smile. It would be a waste if I don’t make any money. I will just get scolded a few times. How can it compare to the cute green cash of US dollars?
Traditional American energy groups are also being fed at this stage. On the surface, they say they are moving in tandem with Wall Street, but in fact, both domestic and overseas energy companies are opening their doors and providing unlimited supply.

Because they don't sell, the big oil-producing countries in North Africa and South America can't stand the pressure and continue to exploit oil recklessly. Everyone knows that this is the last wave of high oil prices, and whoever can sell first will live a good life.

Wall Street has no way to stop it. Unless they demonstrate their ability to maintain high oil prices, they will not be able to force oil-producing countries to give up their huge immediate benefits.

But they can't even hold the first line of defense at 130, what else can they say? Now the oil price changes almost every day, and it's not far from 120 US dollars. Even if they sell it at a discount, it's better than selling it after the plunge...

"We must hurry up and prevent Wall Street from taking revenge."

In the Qingyun headquarters in Shanghai, Li Zehua is personally in charge of the command. His office has now been transformed into an energy strategy command room, with several brand new large electronic screens replacing the original expensive antique landscape paintings.

One screen displays the real-time energy trading prices around the world, while the other screen flashes densely packed red dots. Each red dot represents an oil tanker moving forward.

The storage data of major oil refining and storage bases in Southeast Asia and Southeast Asia will also be summarized and displayed in real time for reference.

The most exaggerated thing is that the financial institutions controlled by Qingyun will update the existing amount of funds, the amount of invested funds and specific market changes every minute and every second, allowing Li Zehua to know what is happening in the world without leaving home.

Members of the group's decision-making committee, members of the strategic analysis office, and senior executives of friendly business groups can discuss specific matters in the conference room outside the office at any time, summarize the information and report it to him, so that he can make accurate judgments in a timely manner.

And now, the special liaison sent by the Five Military Governor's Office is communicating with him on how to prevent any accidents that may occur.

"It is unwise to engage in direct confrontation. Although the newly launched Type 052 has been equipped with the latest radar detection and avionics propulsion systems, its new long-range anti-ship and air defense weapon system is currently being tested.

Once we come into confrontation with the Fungus Fleet in the Indian Ocean, far away from our homeland, it will be difficult for us to send sufficient reinforcements in the first place."

Mai Sui Er, who was sent by the Five Military Commandery, said in a deep voice: "Especially since there are hundreds of oil tankers passing through this sea area every day, the marine fleet cannot cover everything, and there is no sufficient reason to take the initiative to attack in advance!"

He was also anxious because according to internal professional judgment, Wall Street would certainly not sit idly by and wait for death before deciding on measures such as blowing up oil extraction equipment and forcing oil-producing countries to tear up established supply contracts.

After it becomes impossible to get oil-producing countries to collectively make a decision to reduce production (raise prices), US capital will definitely take risks and make direct threats to companies directly involved in transportation, and even to the tankers themselves.

This includes but is not limited to sanctions and fines, and even the arrest and threats of the actual controllers. No one can guarantee what will happen in the end.

After all, in the face of huge interests that are often calculated in hundreds of billions or trillions of dollars, all the rules are meaningless. No one wants to lose, and no one can afford to lose!

At the last moment, American capital may even take the initiative to provoke a war for the sake of profit to ensure that their core interests in the energy futures market are not damaged!
Given the nature of American capital, this kind of thing is likely to happen.

But it is not clear who the victim is. Maybe it is in North Africa, or maybe in West Asia. In short, this place either threatens the interests of European meng or the interests of big cats.

As for Tokyo University, I'm sorry, American capital should just pretend not to see it for now, because playing a tentative friendly match with Tokyo University at this time will not help American capital solve its predicament at all.

Their goal is to separate Ou Meng and the big cat, and to dismember Ou Meng. Only by solving this serious problem can they turn around and deal with Dongda wholeheartedly.

The water here is very deep, so deep that no one dares to mess around easily.

Li Zehua did not want to rashly break the balance, but the energy layout had entered the most critical stage, and Dongda could no longer hide its shortcomings in many things, even if the Five Military Governor's Office did not want to take risks.

Dongda Capital must also give it a push.

Several key figures, including He Zhongping, stood up and said: "Madagascar and Somalia can both make some moves. The two Type 055s are still in the testing phase.

As long as they can ensure that there are no problems with the power system for ocean voyages, they will set off immediately, along with four newly launched Type 052s, a dozen Type 056 frigates, and a large comprehensive logistics supply ship.

Even if we adapt to the situation in the southern waters first, it is better than being helpless when something really happens."

Li Zehua also nodded, "Siam and Indonesia have agreed to open ports near the Indian Ocean and provide all necessary logistical support and maintenance resources. What about the 052s with mature technology?

Release them quickly, as long as we have our rumbling fleet in the Indian Ocean, the fungi will not dare to act recklessly."

As they were talking, great news came from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs: after the efforts of the department and the influence of the adjustment of energy interests, Baixiang and Babuti agreed in principle to provide logistical support for the Dongda fleet.

Soon after, Yan Jing called and said, "You can go to sea, but all parties should exercise absolute restraint and never let the mold catch any handle.

At the critical moment, everything will be handled by Yanjing."

Mai Sui Er, who was in charge of coordination, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Facing the collective pressure from the aggressive leaders of the core group of Dongda Capital, he was also in a difficult situation!
On the one hand, Dongda Capital is actively exploring external markets, but on the other hand, Dongda’s strength cannot keep up with the development and is unable to safeguard Dongda’s core interests thousands of miles away.

If something really happens and the losses amount to hundreds of billions or even trillions of dollars, it would be strange if these people didn't kill people!
Now that there has been a breakthrough, he immediately stated: "Please rest assured that our team will always fight for the core interests of the University of Tokyo!"

This time I really didn't lie.

On the day when the international oil price broke through the 120 USD mark and stabilized at 119 USD, Dongda conducted oil trading at night in the special terminals of the four port cities of Lushun, Huangdao, Zhanjiang and Modu.

Dozens of fully armed destroyer, escort, comprehensive supply, medical, electronic countermeasure and communication support ships set sail quietly under the cover of night.

The only large fishing boat was also fully loaded with carrier-based aircraft and sped towards the southern waters. Within a hundred nautical miles around it, dozens of cutting-edge ships that were launched in batches in 11/12 and have not yet been delivered to the ocean fleet all made their appearance.

Including the first 055 used for testing, and the second 055 equipped with special equipment, both were fully loaded with technicians and set off on board to make improvements while sailing.

They will conduct joint exercises in the southern waters for several months with the maritime formations of Southeast Asian economies that will join them.

If nothing happens, it's normal training.

If any accident happens to the old 052 and 056 formations that are heading out to the Indian Ocean, this force, which is still in the running-in and improvement stage, will rush out of Malacca without hesitation.

Provide the strongest security guarantee for every merchant ship and tanker flying the red flag.

And in the invisible deep sea, several nuclear-powered whales, regardless of the risks, are heading towards the deep sea on the east side of the Pacific Ocean. If necessary, they can go to the Port of Chancay in South America for emergency stops and supplies.

This is a competition that is doomed to have no way out. Disputes involving interests worth millions of dollars between ordinary people may lead to shocking incidents.

The same is true between large economies, not to mention that this is not just a battle for trillions of dollars, but also a battle for the future destiny of several economies.

Even Jiaobenji and Ou Meng had nothing to do, and they sent the Rumbling Formation out for a wander intentionally or unintentionally, which was enough to explain everything.

Only the third sister-in-law was very depressed, because their large fishing boat, which did not have carrier-based aircraft, had to be towed back to the dock for repairs after just 50 nautical miles due to a gas turbine failure... (End of this chapter)
