Chapter 375 The Oil Business
Upon hearing this, Chen An's expression shifted.
Oil is a hard international currency. The reason why Saudi Arabia and the UAE are so rich is because they have so much oil.
These two countries account for nearly 21% of global oil exports, meaning one in every five barrels of oil comes from them.
It looks like we might make a profit this time.
Their gazes turned back to the shooter.
After Takra finished speaking, Karim added again, "This is just the surface. In fact, our two royal families have been at odds for a long time and have often clashed. This time, the oil interests were the fuse that completely ignited the conflict."
"Carit's second son was shot and killed a few days ago, most likely by the Felia royal family."
Upon hearing this, the archer pondered for a moment before saying, "It seems your feud with the Felia royal family is irreparable. What were your original plans?"
When asked, Karim did not hide anything, saying, "If the Felia royal family can know our movements, so can we."
"Recently, the Felia royal family has recruited many mercenary groups, including several four-star ones. Our plan is to eliminate them on their way to the oil fields, and incidentally, avenge Karit's son!"
Club King asked, "A four-star mercenary group? Is that a ranking?"
It was Takla's brother, Duka, who spoke: "Pretty much. The strongest are the five-star mercenary groups. There are only a handful in the entire Middle East. These five-star mercenary groups have an amazing track record and have never been defeated."
"Of course, the Twelve Constellation Mercenary Group has also reached this level, but it is not certified, and the information is somewhat fantastical, so the level is very vague, but the strength is still there."
"Actually, they're similar to security companies, ranging from one to five stars."
"However, a five-star mercenary group is completely outmatched by a five-star security force. Even if the numbers are equal, the coordination, teamwork, and equipment of these mercenary groups are all superior. Therefore, royal families like ours usually maintain good relations with these mercenary groups."
"However, because the harm caused by five-star mercenary groups is too great, the royal family rarely hires them. Unless they are forced to, they would be considered shameful by all royal families. At most, they would hire four-star mercenary groups."
The archer and the King of Clubs nodded.
Chen An was also surprised. He didn't expect that there were such rules in the Middle East. Five-star mercenaries sounded impressive, but they were still not enough for assassins.
He then thought about it and quickly decided on the price for the reward, which he then transmitted to the archer.
Upon learning this, the marksman on the other side looked at Karim.
"In that case, we've decided on the compensation. Would Mr. Karim like to hear it?"
Karim nodded. "Go ahead."
The archer said, "We'll protect the oil for you, and we might even take down the Felia royal family, but we'll take five percent of the value of the oil produced from this extraction as payment. How about that?"
"What! Do you want to hear what you have to say? Five percent, do you know how much that is?!" Carrit exclaimed angrily. These people were simply asking for an exorbitant amount.
Karim glared at the shooter. "You should know that this is a medium-sized oil field, producing 20 barrels per day, with an annual output of about $17 billion."
"Five percent, that's over eighty million US dollars a year. Isn't your Twelve Constellation Mercenary Group asking for a bit too much?"
Upon hearing this offer...
Chen An was shocked. As expected of Saudi Arabia, where princes are as plentiful as dogs and oil is as plentiful as water, a medium-sized oil field can bring so much value. And this is only the annual output value. An oil field can be mined for at least more than ten years.
Perhaps the oil field business has potential.
So he ordered the archer to rephrase the sentence.
After hearing this, the archer looked at Karim and the others, smiled slightly, and said, "If you're not satisfied with this reward, there's another one."
"Oh, tell me about it," Karim said.
If anyone else had offered this reward, Karim and his group would have kicked them out long ago. But since the other party was the Twelve Constellation Mercenary Group, whose strength was equivalent to a five-star mercenary group, they still had to give them some face.
"How about this, we don't want any payment?"
Upon hearing this, Takla, Wang Anquan, Karit, and the others all showed expressions of surprise.
Does this archer have lost his mind, refusing payment?!
Karim frowned; he felt things weren't that simple.
"If you don't want payment, then what do you want?"
The archer chuckled, "After we help you deal with the Felia royal family, you'll need to give us five percent of the annual revenue from each of their oil fields you acquire. How about that?"
A brief silence fell over the surroundings.
Carit scoffed, "Anyone can talk big. Do you think the Felia royal family's oil fields are so easy to take? Do you think the laws of this country don't exist?"
"Although all the princes of the Philia royal family are engaged in business, they also have connections in the government. Mr. Archer, this matter is not as simple as you think," Duca said in return.
Club King said, "That depends on you. Your Batara royal family has connections in business and politics, right? As long as the prince of the Philia royal family disappears inexplicably and no one inherits the oil field, you will be the first to know the news and will naturally be able to get the oil field."
Karim's pupils constricted: "What do you want to do! Wipe out the Philia royal family?!"
His heart was pounding. He couldn't understand how the occupation of the oil field had turned into the destruction of the Philia royal family. If this were discovered, it would be a matter of life and death, no longer a trivial matter.
Wang Anquan nodded to himself. Sure enough, he was Mr. K. He either did nothing or he did it to the extreme!
"I'm just giving you some advice. You can't bear to touch the Philia royal family, but they've already killed your people."
"Carit, aren't you going to avenge your son?"
Upon hearing this, Carit fell silent, seemingly lost in thought.
"Mr. Archer, Mr. K, are you so sure you can take down the Philia royal family? You should know that the strength here is different from that in Southeast Asia. Years of war have made the forces here even more ruthless. Sometimes, even fighter jets are not out of the question."
The Archer and the King of Clubs remained unmoved, their faces calm. "We won't agree to a mission we're not confident about."
The surroundings fell silent again, and it was clear that Karim and Karit were somewhat moved.
Finally, Karim said, "Here's what we'll do: fifty million US dollars as payment for completing this mission. As for what happens after that, I'll think about it some more."
"After all, this is a big deal, and it's not something I can decide on my own."
The archer knew he couldn't rush things, so he nodded. "Okay, give me the information about this mission, and I'll send men to ambush them. We won't let them get near the oil field."
"No problem, I'll have Takra tell you when the time comes," Karim smiled.
