Village chief, your township enterprise sells laser cannons?

After babbling on and on, Amal noticed that Lin Man didn't react, and his excited face instantly turned anxious.

The already anxious hands transformed into an accordion, gesturing wildly at Lin Man. Lin Man quickly dragged the chair back, afraid that the fist from the other side would hit him.

After retreating to a safe position, he then looked at Rajad:

"What did he say?"

Rajad did not respond to Lin Man immediately. He first pressed Amar back into his chair, talked with Amar for a while, and then repeatedly gestured with his left hand in front of Amar, spreading his five fingers.

Amar nodded repeatedly as he looked at his hand. On the fourth nod, Rajad finally turned to look at Linman and gestured with his left hand.

"Mr. Amal said we need five laser defense systems!"

After mentioning the number of laser defense systems, Rajad paused for two seconds, then added:

"It's not your so-called 'full-blooded version,' 'pure-blooded version,' or any of those other versions. It's the one you just mentioned, the one that can be integrated with other air defense systems, can melt a 10mm thick steel plate in 3 seconds within a 5km range, and has a 500kWh high-capacity battery."

Hearing his additional explanation, Lin Man couldn't help but laugh; he'd probably been tricked again.

However, it has nothing to do with me; my goal is to sell laser defense systems.

Five sets, that's $2500 million.

If you export this product, the export value-added tax can basically be refunded, leaving only the company's operating income tax.

$2500 million, at the current exchange rate of 6.3, is equivalent to 1.5 million yuan.

As for the product cost, one set costs around one million, and five sets cost around five million.

After deducting corporate income tax, they can make at least 100 million yuan.

We still have to sell these kinds of head-threatening products!

However… after a brief moment of excitement, Lin Man remembered what Wang Ju had said earlier. He grinned, took a deep breath, and asked Rajad across from him:

"Five sets, $2500 million, how do you plan to pay?"

"This is no small sum."

Rajad turned his head, and Amar next to him started babbling again. After he finished speaking, Rajad held up two fingers on his right hand: "We'll pay 1000 million in US dollars, and the remaining 1500 million will be paid with oil!"

"This is our first collaboration. To ensure smooth cooperation in the future, we will use $1500 million worth of oil to pay the remaining $2000 million."

"Of course, you'll need to find your own ships and people to transport this oil."

"Since you can sell these things, I believe you should be able to find someone."

Lin Man opened his mouth, silently displaying the elegance of Cantonese opera, then punched Wang Ju with his left hand before turning and walking towards the balcony.

Wang Ju understood immediately and followed Lin Man to the balcony. The two leaned against the balcony wall, and Lin Man looked at the people in the room and whispered something:

"How much oil is in 2000 million?"

After tilting her head and thinking for a while, Wang Ju gently shook her head: "If we calculate based on the WTI international benchmark crude oil price of $107 per barrel, then it would be around 19 barrels."

"But they are Iranians, and Iranian oil prices need to be pushed down. How much they can push them down depends on them."

"Moreover, 19 barrels of crude oil is a bit small. Even if the price is lowered, it will not exceed 25 barrels at most."

"The Afra cargo ships, which are commonly used internationally for short-distance transport, can carry 50 barrels at a time, even the smallest model."

"During this period, the daily rental fee for such a dilapidated ship has reached $30."

"As for larger ships, they are even more expensive."

"Then comes the delivery. The simplest and most effective way is to directly resell the bill of lading and let the person who bought it pick it up themselves. This way, you earn less money, but it's more convenient and you don't have to worry about it."

"The troublesome part is that you have to rent a boat yourself to pick up this batch of goods. Right now, many boats are stuck in the Strait of Hormuz and can't get out. If you have enough goods to get out, you can resell them to other people outside and the price can be raised to about 130 per barrel."

"It's just a bit troublesome."

Having learned of the two delivery methods from Wang Ju, Lin Man clicked his tongue and said, "Then let's just sell the bill of lading!"

He stretched and was about to walk into the room when Wang Ju called out to him:

"But as I just said, even if we try to lower the price, it won't exceed 25 barrels."

"What do you mean?" Lin Man pulled back his leg, looking at Wang Ju with a puzzled expression. Meeting his gaze, Wang Ju held up four fingers:

"The Aframax tankers I just mentioned are short-haul oil tankers."

"If you're shipping from Holmes to India, you can choose this type of ship."

"Because of their small tonnage, India has fewer port requirements, making it a very suitable destination for them."

"If you want to ship to Europe, you need to choose a Suezmax tanker, which can carry about 100 million barrels at a time. A tanker carrying 100 million barrels can just pass through the Suez Canal."

"Then there are very large crude carriers (VLCCs), which can transport approximately 200 million barrels. These are the mainstay of global crude oil transportation and also the most economical vessels."

"Finally, there are supertankers, which can transport 300 million barrels, and currently only a few ports in the world can accommodate them."

"25 barrels of oil need to be shipped together; it's a buyer's market."

"My idea is to make it as big as possible, to reach one or two million barrels."

"We have one or two million barrels of oil, and it's 100% from the Strait of Hormuz. We just need to spread the word, and there will be plenty of people wanting it."

One or two million barrels...

In just a few seconds, Lin Man calculated the approximate value.

$ 2 billion.

This……

We still have to make money by selling oil!

After frowning and thinking for a while, Lin Man turned to look at Wang Ju:

"What about domestically? I recall that Shandong province seems to have similar services?"

Upon hearing Lin Man mention China, Wang Ju immediately shook her head:

"They have a fixed business, their prices are very stable, and they might even get a lower price than you, so your order isn't attractive to them."

Having grasped the intricacies of oil trading, Lin Man gritted his teeth and pondered for a moment before looking at Wang Ju:

"Try to confirm the identities of these people."

He then nodded, left the balcony, and went straight to Rajad and his men in the room.

He sat down in front of Rajad and the others, and asked bluntly:

"What price are you going to offer me for $2000 million worth of oil?"

"Will it be in line with international oil prices, or lower?"

While Lin Man and Wang Ju were discussing things on the balcony, Rajad and the others were laughing. But now, Lin Man's sudden question made Rajad's smile vanish instantly.

He quickly turned around and spoke to Amar.

Although I couldn't understand what they were saying, I could tell that their exchange of opinions was very intense. Two other people joined the discussion, and within seconds, the group was arguing heatedly, looking just like typical American rednecks.

After arguing for two or three minutes, they ended their argument with a long sigh from Amar.

Immediately afterwards, Amar spoke a few more words gently to Rajad, who turned around:

"Mr. Amar means that the current international crude oil price is $107 a barrel, and we will give you $87 a barrel."

"200 million barrels of light crude oil, totaling $1.74 million. For the convenience of delivery, we will give you a bill of lading. Anyone can take this bill of lading to any port in Iran and pick up the goods."

"And we will arrange for someone to escort them out of the Strait of Hormuz."

"Next is what you need to deliver to us: the laser defense system we just discussed, upgraded to 15 sets."

"However, we need a trial version before the official delivery."
