In Tokyo, even the most fierce dragon is afraid of the hatchet

"Baga! Sakai, you idiot, do you have any manners?"

"I'm sorry! Because... the matter is too serious... the war is over, so the blockade of the Gulf region is over..."

"Nani?"

"Sakai, what are you talking about?"

"Didn't they just start fighting two days ago?"

"Has the news been confirmed?"

"It's confirmed, but the crude oil market has also collapsed. When I just came here, it had already fallen to 28 dollars..."

Twenty-eight dollars?

Sakata Hidetake was overjoyed when he heard this.

Sumitomo was able to launch a price war simply because it relied on the blockade of the Gulf region and its control of resources to launch a large-scale market impact.

Now that the price has come down, Sanhe can also engage in a price war!

"Haha! That's great! This way, we don't have to worry about price wars to grab the market. And Sumitomo has signed a three-year purchase agreement with Nagano-kun. They're going to be in big trouble this time!"

"What are you so happy about, you idiot?

Now that the Gulf blockade has been lifted, the current crude oil price will collapse and a price drop is inevitable.

Sumitomo only signed a three-year agreement, but did you forget that we signed a five-year agreement? "

"..."

Yes!

What the hell was I so happy about...

......

Just one hundred hours.

Iraq, which claims to be the world's third most powerful military country and has a fully mechanized force, was forced to withdraw its troops from Kuwait and give up the Gulf shipping lanes.

After such results were broadcast live or rebroadcast by TV stations, countless people stayed in front of the TV.

No one expected that Iraq, with more than a thousand fighter jets and more than five thousand tanks, would be so vulnerable.

The day.

Crude oil prices plummeted by 30 percent.

The final closing price was 27.35.

But that's not the end of the story.

weekend.

Standard Oil and Rockefeller Oil issued a joint statement.

In four decades of technical research.

The Petroleum Institute has made tremendous progress in shale oil and gas technology.

In various basins in the United States, shale oil reserves are several times higher than the world's proven oil reserves.

Relevant people said.

The United States has always been a major oil importer, and its dependence on oil has often caused damage to its economic and technological development.

Breakthroughs in shale oil and shale gas technology will help the United States get rid of its excessive dependence on imported oil...

Chapter 298 My Friend's Ship Arrives Again

It’s cold at the end of the year.

The sudden drop in temperature made many places become cold, and the snowflakes were flying, covering all the dust under the vast snow.

There was talk of the Gulf War everywhere.

It was thought that with Iraq's home advantage and a million-strong army, the war against the multinational forces would inevitably be a protracted and evenly matched war.

I never expected that the war had just begun and then it came to an end.

It's like a dream.

Many people even suspected that this one-sided war was another movie made by Americans.

after all.

Where to put the Star Wars example.

Americans are really good at acting.

However, soon after the air strike began, Baghdad's external communications were completely cut off. Instead, three reporters from CNN, including Bernard John Herriman, reported on the air strike from Baghdad for 17 consecutive hours.

numb!

this moment!

The American cable TV network was completely numb to receive the honor.

this moment.

There was a hairy bear drinking vodka in big gulps, and his head was numb from drinking it.

this moment.

The rabbit with red eyes and long ears was smoking a cigarette, and his hands were so numb that he could no longer feel the heat of the cigarette butt.

Kyoto.

A heavy snow came, and the whole city was covered in silver.

Under the eaves of every household hangs a rare long string of icicles, as thick as a baby's arm, crystal clear, and refracting the light into colorful colors.

The air was freezing cold and the wind was howling.

In this kind of weather, drinking a cup of hot tea is definitely a rare enjoyment.

Nao Nagano holds a cup of tea.

As soon as boiling water was poured into the cup, a cloud of white mist rose into the air.

The tea leaves in the cup float in the air, and the tea leaves dance in the water, just like souls wandering in the water.

After a while, it slowly sank again, falling slowly like the snowflakes outside.

Light smoke is floating.

The fragrance fills the cottage.

Stretching my lazy body, I take a sip and immediately feel a rich fragrance, like acacia red beans, sweet and delicate.

Honestly.

I used to drink tea.

tea.

It's tea.

After taking a sip and quenching my thirst, I couldn't find any trace of the Tao.

Now!

After taking a sip of tea, I feel my body and mind are purified.

Filter out the impetuousness, and what is left is deep thought, a kind of mood, a kind of cultivation.

"Tea is a precious herb, and its reputation is in the cup. This is the glory of tea."

“Strong tea soothes the body, light tea nourishes the spirit, scented tea soothes the stomach, and clear tea clears the heart; this is the virtue of tea.”

"Oolong Dahongpao, Huangshan Sumaofeng, Tieguanyin in the south, Qishanyun in the north, Longjing Green in the east, Huangxianglin in the west, this is where tea comes from."

"Tea comes in six colors, and its taste can be evaluated in thousands of ways. Drinking it in large quantities can relieve dryness, and sipping it slowly can entertain you. This is the fun of tea."

"This tea is of the highest quality that I bought from China at a high price. It is so interesting and can improve your mood. Sakurako, why don't you have a cup?"

Nagano Nao offered him a cup of tea and said calmly.

Ikeda Sakurako gritted her teeth secretly.

She was also a tea lover, but she had never found the tea ceremony to be really annoying.

Damn it!

This guy's serious look is really disgusting.

Harmful!

Things like pretending to be cool.

Nagano Nao is actually not good at it.

I saw those beautiful eyes staring at me with anger.

then.

Nagano Nao said seriously: "The silence of wanting to speak but not being able to; a kind of loneliness after the bustle. Tea is a collection of memories. Drinking tea in any season can remember everything in the past. Sakurako, you don't drink, are you afraid that my majestic figure will occupy your heart?"

Can't I drink?

Ikeda Sakurako rolled her eyes secretly, picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.

"Tea should be savored slowly. Sakurako, you are drinking it like a cow chewing a peony!"

"You are not surprised at all by this result?!!!"

"What do you think?"

"..."

Ikeda Sakurako used the gaze skill, and her cold temperament and deep eyes came over with a huge sense of oppression.

But Nagano Nao didn't seem to feel it at all. He picked up the teapot and poured water. The series of movements were so smooth and flowing that there was a wonderful charm.
