industrial maniac

Chapter 131 Everyone buys crude oil together
The mechanical chaos of the Three Kingdoms lasted for half a month.

The ever-changing events, complex and bizarre gameplay, ingenious collocation, and up to 120 kinds of mechanical characters have attracted thousands of fans.

The regional championship game is over, and the TEP exhibition will start.

Wushuang Meng Zhang Fei, who had stockpiled 15 sets, was evenly distributed to [-] venues in Wajima, and was snapped up by the audience who were enthusiastic and impulsive over reason.

Also on sale are:
A metal booth with spotlights added at the bottom;

metal desk card with mechanical alarm clock;
A mechanical character propulsion device embedded with a miniature turbofan and button battery;

A small heavy metal speaker with surging sound effect and vibration;
Independent and complex gyroscope ornaments with purely mechanical structure;

The recording magnet can be replaced, but it is only a miniature player the size of a thumbnail;
Cloaks, war horses, cold weapons of many mechanical characters...

As well as grand ceremony-level characters, prefabricated characters, and the Gua Dynasty that are gradually accepted by the Washima market.

Even the electroplated iron badges, special wide-format posters, albums of characters from the Three Kingdoms, and storage boxes for mechanical toys were all cleared.

And Dongshan, the little friends who had been waiting for half the winter vacation, finally got the lucky money on New Year's Eve.

Either running wildly, or running wildly all the way, or being chased by parents scolding and scolding, happily rushing to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Of course, there are also stupid children whose New Year's money was confiscated, who rolled all over the floor, played tricks, and howled for Zhang Fei.

Xu Fei watched the video all morning in the workshop office, had dinner at noon, ran to Zulin with Old Xu, and remitted several trillions to Old Master Xu.

Back in the reception area-1, the couple chatted while pasting Spring Festival couplets and hanging lanterns.

"The Lincheng community covers an area of ​​300 mu, including 18 six-story residential buildings, 56 sets of two-story shops facing the street, and a small playground. The project is progressing a bit fast, and it is expected to be fully completed in the middle of the year."

"Wait until everything is finished."

"I see that other developers can apply for a pre-sale certificate after obtaining a construction permit. Before the basic project is completed, the building is sold out. Should we do this?"

"Our old Xu's family are all real people. Daze real estate development is also owned by me. I will sell the existing house after the completion of the real estate and the greening."

"Alright."

Old Xu was only in charge of construction and didn't know much about sales and properties. After talking about things, he looked around and said in a low voice, "Xiao Fei, let me tell you something rather weird."

"What?"

"I don't know what's going on. There are suddenly more comrades who have come to defect to me recently."

"Good thing."

"I mean, there are some things that I may or may not have experienced, or in other words, I seem to have an impression of the scene where many comrades-in-arms fought with me, but I don't seem to have an impression... How should I put it, just It's like a memory loss."

"Old Xu, don't think too much, just be happy. Just like me, I entered a foreign company for no reason, became the director of the factory for no reason, made a toy for no reason, became popular for no reason, and built a power plant for no reason. I opened a power company, and recently became the director of Hongqi factory for no reason... The experience of these two months is like a dream, but I can see it well, eat well, sleep well, look at this head, it is 1.8 meters Three."

"Yeah, it's so tall. If you run around at 23, you might be able to surpass your grandfather."

"Forget it, [-] is too scary. Holding your wife's hand, from a distance, looks like carrying a bucket... Why are you staring at me?"

"Your grandma is not fat."

"I definitely don't mean that."

…………

evening.

Xu Fei walked around the production workshop and mechanical laboratory.

The crash test is still going on, 79 rounds have been carried out, and 200 rounds are expected to end.

Moreover, each experiment will record a video and record detailed data as an audit file.

Other projects that have been carried out include chip transplantation in combat vehicles, simplification of radio installations, and design of car seats and ergonomics.

The streamlined shape and exterior design of the car shell, as well as the overall layout of the vehicle, need to be handed over to the Daewoo team, which will arrive tomorrow afternoon.

In general, before the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, I can get at least one head-of-state bulletproof prototype, one executive-level high-end prototype, and one business-level classic prototype.

Having a prototype means that it can be mass-produced.

Then develop a diesel engine version of a high-torque luxury car and start exporting...

The other is publicity.

Normally speaking, red flags do not need publicity.

But ask the masses their impressions of Hongqi Automobiles, and Xu Fei can assure you that nine out of ten cannot tell.

In other words, when you mention Audi, you will think of four laps.

When it comes to Mercedes-Benz, you will think of a circle fork.

When it comes to BMW, you will think of BMW.

When it comes to red flags, you will think of picking red flags with microphones.

But the microphone cannot be installed casually, and you can also choose other brands of Hongqi.

The word "red flag" on the back of the car is generally outdated.

Therefore, Hongqi needs publicity and creates a fresh brand impression for people.

Xu Fei sat in the workshop office thinking for a long time, but finally found nothing.

Just when he was about to leave and went home to watch the Spring Festival Gala with Lao Xu, an email popped up from the computer.

Open it and see, it turned out to be a sales report summarized by the operation center.

Today's global total sales exceeded 10 billion red notes.

Received 2600 million red notes, 130.6 billion Japanese coins, 76.2 billion won.

Since Wajima’s foreign traders moved to Nanyang, TEP (Nagoya)’s directly-operated store will distribute the goods for this sale, and sell them on-site in various regional championship games, and Iron Sheet Company will also receive the same amount of foreign exchange.

Remove the rebates and rebates, and leave enough operating funds for TEP (Japanese Island), leaving 100 billion Japanese coins and 70 billion won as a guarantee.

And, today is the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, New Year's Eve, February 2th in the Gregorian calendar.

There's still a lot to sell before the Mechanical Three Kingdoms 'National Championship' kicks off in mid-March.

However, Wajima and Nanbangzi also have foreign exchange controls, and these funds cannot be converted into US dollars in a short period of time.

If it is an ordinary enterprise, it is estimated that it will purchase electronic equipment and audio-visual products from Wajima, import them, exchange funds for goods, bring them back to China, and then sell them for money.

But Ironhide does not need Wajima's electronic equipment, let alone audio-visual products.

Xu Fei pondered for a long time and thought of crude oil.

Logically speaking, Wadao and Nanbangzi belong to 100% crude oil importing countries.

Looking for the other party to purchase crude oil, the price must be higher than the international oil price.

But there is one thing involved.

Huaxia is also a crude oil importing country, but it will export crude oil to Wajima.

The main reason is that Japanese island merchants made money in Huaxia, and were subject to foreign exchange controls, so they could not remit it out in a short period of time. They could only sell goods with red notes and bring them back to Japanese island.

However, there are very few goods that Huaxia can export to Wajima.

In the end, 'necessities - crude oil' became the first choice.

Moreover, in order to obtain high-tech and attract investment from Wajima, the price of imported crude oil is high, but the price of crude oil exported to Wajima is very low.

It roughly means: Look, I sell crude oil cheap, come to my house to earn red money, and then use the red money to buy crude oil back.

In this way, Japanese capital came in.

And not only crude oil, minerals, rare earths, etc., the same is true.

Therefore, in our own camp at this stage, the streets are full of Nissans.

As for my family, if we use TEP (Japanese Island) to operate, replace this batch of crude oil with Japanese currency, and complete the transaction in China, not only the price is lower than the international oil price, but also a transportation fee can be saved.

After all, Japanese companies bought crude oil back with the intention of selling it to the Japanese island officials in exchange for funds.

Xu Fei took out a notepad, carefully calculated the total, and contacted Takeuchi Rano to inquire about the feasibility of this operation.

After getting a definite answer, he contacted the armed old man again.

In China, neither private enterprises nor joint ventures are allowed to purchase crude oil privately.

In the past, Xu Fei planned to ask the old man in military equipment to match up and contact Huaxia Petroleum or Huaxia CNOOC to discuss cooperation.

Unexpectedly, Huaxia Weapons' crude oil allocation quota is actually the largest in China, far exceeding Huaxia Petroleum and Huaxia CNOOC. It can even be said that as long as you have spare money and the price is right, you can buy unlimited.

If you think about it carefully, Huaxia weapons are related to the national defense industry. Once there is a war, maybe two barrels of oil will be confiscated unconditionally, and then military diesel, military gasoline, and aviation fuel will be refined...

Therefore, TEP (Dongshan) signed an 'Affiliation Contract' with Huaxia Arms Dongshan Branch.

TEP uses its own money to import crude oil, guarantees that it will not be refined, will not participate in sales and other businesses, has the ownership of crude oil, and can export it.

Huaxia Weapons provides allocation quotas, helps reduce relevant taxes and fees, and charges a small amount of handling fees from TEP. However, during special periods, including but not limited to wars, TEP crude oil can be collected unconditionally, and the market value can be compensated afterwards.

The additional condition is that Huaxia Weapons will purchase 1500 Grizzly Chariots (underlined, key note: not M20) at a price of 8 million U.S. dollars, and then apply for interest-free installment payments.

If you use weapons to prepare the old man, Huaxia Weapons will have no money.

Not even going to procure a decidedly high-tech horror robot.

As for where the money went...

How do we know.

The call is connected.

"Crooked, Uncle Sun, happy Chinese New Year."

"Is it so early to pay New Year's greetings?"

"Ha, I was just about to go back to watch the Spring Festival Gala, and suddenly found that there are some business needs to be dealt with on Wa Island."

"Tell me, what can I do for you?"

"It's like this. I have a sum of money in Wadao and Nanbangzi respectively, and I plan to purchase the crude oil that Huaxia exports to Wadao..."

Xu Fei expressed his thoughts one by one.

The armed old man has already gone to Beijing to learn the professional knowledge of 'radar communication integration' around the clock, waiting for Strauss' secret visit.

As for where did the Huaxia Weapons money go?
The cooperation between TEP and Carlyle, regardless of the relationship between the two parties, just investing 18 billion US dollars to raise dogs is outrageous.

And Xu Fei immediately took out 10 billion US dollars to buy crude oil, combined with 900 M8s, and the information provided by the inside: B-2 reached 4, and North American arms manufacturers also received orders...

War, crude oil price rise!
The armed old man made a decisive decision and bought it together.

Although he still doesn't know the relationship between TEP, Carlyle, and GM, he can keep up with the thinking of the big team now.

Xu Fei buys it, so do we.

Xu Fei throws it away, so do we.

No brains, but also make a lot of money.

If you are cheated, the big deal is to confiscate Daze Power.

Anyway, our side will not lose.

Therefore, there are some things that cannot be overthought. If you think about it too much, you will have a headache and you still can’t understand it.

But now I received a call from Xu Fei...

The armed old man finally understands TEP and Carlyle's hidden plan.

When these two companies plan to beat people in North America, they are speculating on crude oil.

One starts with real objects, the other starts with stock futures, and spends money on it, aiming at Wajima!

First buy at a high price to reduce Wajima’s crude oil reserves, while Carlyle Investment buys a large amount of crude oil stocks, and waits for North America to beat people, Carlyle Investment finds a way to cut off Wajima’s crude oil supply line, TEP then sells the crude oil it holds to Wajima at a high price island……

'The way of overseas capital is really wild! '

"No wonder Lanfeng also started to snap up crude oil..."

The armed old man pondered for a moment, "Xiao Xu, don't talk nonsense about some things, you have to learn to keep them secret, otherwise outsiders will know, how can we make a lot of money?"

"Ok?"

"However, we are all on our own. We are all prosperous, and we are all lost. If you need weapons at that time, remember to let me know."

After the armed old man finished speaking, he confirmed that the mobile phone is an encrypted channel, "It's a big deal, let's block the waterway on the other side of the Red Sea."

"???"

What do you say?

Xu Fei was stunned.

"Okay, I will help you with the purchase and export of Wajima crude oil, but you need to take care of Wajima."

"That's not a problem, but what do you mean by blocking the waterway?"

"Little Xu, in the past, I didn't know what happened to Lao Xu. Now that I know, I will do my best to help, such as asking the old political and legal leaders of Dongshan to come forward to deal with Zeng Dahe's father-in-law... So, we are really not outsiders, you also You don't need to be sloppy with me."

"Grandpa Sun!"

"Hey!"

"Look, you've caught up with my grandpa, I'm sure I won't hide it from you, so can you tell me what it means to block the waterway?"

"..."

beep...

Holding the phone, Xu Fei took a deep breath.

Big loss.

Shouting grandpa, I couldn't figure out what happened.
