Don’t panic if you get scammed, give him a Desert Eagle instead.

"Everyone, tell me, what should we do? If this situation continues, once we are discovered by the European region, they will definitely not cooperate with us anymore."

Indeed, the energy shortage in Europe is well known.

In order to solve the problem, they had to buy energy from Atlantis and other countries at high prices.

Even in some gray areas, they began to conduct private transactions with the Great Bear Country to obtain the necessary supplies.

However, it is counterproductive.

The Big Bear is very cunning, and because these countries have been singing the opposite tune, they chose not to sell oil directly. As a result, there are fewer and fewer places in Europe that can use natural gas.

Pros was willing to cooperate with Atlantis because he wanted to see how to deal with the current predicament. Anyway, he had been sanctioned, so he was willing to try any method as long as it could increase income.

As a result, there are more and more transactions in the gray area.

It is said that in the beginning it was mainly merchants from Europe who bought oil here.

However, many businessmen across the region are now finding that this grey area market is undersupplied and that a mysterious force is buying up oil in large quantities. But the true identity of this force is still unclear.

In the meeting room, the board finally understood the whole story. "So, our task is to join this group as soon as possible, right?" someone asked.

"That's right. Pros has said that as long as we purchase these energy sources, he will meet our needs as soon as possible. In this way, Atlantis can only watch helplessly. Moreover, all countries that have not participated in the sanctions can purchase them openly." The situation began to change.

"I see, you want us to take the money and buy oil, and save it for a rainy day, right?"

This is the most worrying issue.

However, the board of directors voted unanimously to pass the proposal because it would benefit them in every way.

"In this case, there is no reason to refuse this matter. Since everyone agrees, let's act quickly. But everyone must remember that we cannot relax on our current tasks." Jiang Chuan knew very well that this incident would be a huge blow to the country of Atlantis.

He attended high-level meetings and received similar information as Chen Guodong.

The No. 2 figure personally talked to him and said, "Jiang Chuan, we all know the situation of your company. You can rest assured that as long as you don't do anything illegal, nothing will affect your company's profits."

"As long as we follow everyone's lead, there will be no problem."

Facing the second-in-command, Jiang Chuan appeared quite calm.

But this is just a new beginning and they still have a lot of work to do.

"Then let's get started." Things have come to this point and there is nothing more to say.

Pros is waiting to hear from them.

"I never thought that you, the boss of a private enterprise, could become the leader of the entire purchasing group. I really want to thank you." The two have established a deep friendship.

"No, no ...

At the same time, Bais was watching the live broadcast, feeling conflicted.

"Why does this Jiang Chuan appear again? Hasn't he behaved himself after being taught a lesson by us before?" He was always full of hostility towards Jiang Chuan.

"Mr. Leader, I understand what you mean. In that case, let's give it a try. I also want to know how they will react after we sign the order."

So they signed a huge order in public, which shocked the Atlantis nation.

The entire Western world also began to get nervous, because once this order was signed, it would mean that they would have priority in obtaining large amounts of oil supplies every year.

Pross said calmly: "In fact, we all know that there are still many people in the world doing business with us. Although they impose sanctions on us on the surface, they can only turn a blind eye when it comes to energy.

I can also tell you that there is a grey area where oil is being traded, and we are forced to do this.”

Pros's remarks attracted worldwide attention, and people were surprised to find that many Western countries, including Atlantis, were also engaged in such transactions.

When he made that statement, European leaders immediately fell into anxiety, and they finally understood why oil was so hard to buy recently.

These leaders began to meet frequently to discuss countermeasures.

There is an unprecedented atmosphere of fear within the alliance, and they have no idea how long the current situation can last.

Despite the hot summer, they shuddered at the reality of the approaching winter.

"Today, many of us cannot even have basic food and clothing. Most restaurants rely on natural gas, and now, due to the interruption of natural gas supply, we are forced to use that extremely polluting coal gas." A regional representative said angrily. They were furious about the unwarranted "gas cut-off" treatment.

"I want to ask the person in charge of the rotating country, what should we do next? If the situation continues to deteriorate, we may have to return to our primitive way of life. Moreover, the pollution problem of coal gas is serious. What's worse is that we are now even short of coal."

In Europe today, prices of all kinds of things closely related to people's livelihood are continuing to rise.

People are finding that the cost of cooking at home is now about the same as eating out, while restaurant prices are also rising.

This situation has led to inflation, and people are powerless to stop it.

"If the energy crisis continues to escalate, our entire European region will be in trouble. Perhaps we have to consider lifting sanctions on them." The leader of the British Empire admitted in a speech that although they are an island country, they are closely connected with the European continent, and many energy pipelines pass across the border.

"We were the first to be hit. After the previous head retired, many people went to his doorstep to ask him to come back. How shameful! Moreover, they said that when he was in office, all kinds of equipment in our country operated smoothly, but when I was in office, we encountered the difficulties of water, electricity, gas and oil outages."

The current head is miserable. He is worried that if things continue like this, the country’s support rate will continue to decline and even his own position will be lost.

This country was one of the first to refuse cooperation. It originally thought that it could develop steadily by relying on Atlantis, but it did not expect the other party's prices to continue to soar.

"Have you not noticed? Even a regional media in Dashang has exposed the problem. They are now buying oil at a low price and reselling it at a high price to make a profit. And we are like fools, following their lead."

……

In the Union Parliament, everyone seemed worried. If the problem was not solved quickly, the consequences would be disastrous.

Prologis was facing a similar dilemma. They had long realized that Atlantis oil merchants would come to buy their products at a critical moment.

"As long as you control energy, you don't have to fear any challenge. I've known for a long time that once their energy supply is cut off, their lives will be in trouble and the entire Western world will be on the verge of collapse. And Atlantis not only did not help them, but took the opportunity to make a fortune in Europe. Then I might as well give you another push."

Pros adopted this strategy in order to expose the dark side of Atlantis.

"Now that you are here, things are different. Because you are our friends."

After the news came out, Atlantis fell into greater trouble, especially the businessmen, who united to put pressure on the government.

Bais was in a state of great headache. When these businessmen saw him, they complained: "Mr. Leader, you also know our current situation, right? Although we have purchased a large amount of oil and natural gas, now we are nothing."

These oil traders have orders in hand, but they are worried. If the situation continues to deteriorate, they will face huge losses.

Their worries go far beyond that. If the problem is not solved quickly, it may cause greater trouble.

"Oh!" Bais sighed helplessly.

Due to insufficient domestic natural gas production, he had no choice but to ask these businessmen to go to Atlantis as soon as possible to purchase energy.

It was originally thought that the problem would soon be solved and these merchants would be able to make a lot of money, but the orders they received kept coming in.

They are well aware that if they breach the contract, they will face high penalties.

What worries them even more is that if the matter continues to ferment, the European region may jointly complain to the World Trade Organization, and Bais will be helpless at that time.

"This is closely related to our national interests and people's livelihood. As a leader, if you can't even guarantee this, what else can you say?" Bais could only wait for rescue helplessly, while feeling an unprecedented threat.

According to past practices, he might choose to attack the Shang Kingdom through diplomatic channels, but this time they were the ones operating behind the scenes, making the other party appear to be acting in an open and aboveboard manner.

This was actually the idea of ​​the second-in-command. He deliberately used this method to disgust the other side because oil is equally important to them.

The situation is getting worse, as they are now also selling gas to the Europa region.

They made it clear that these prices were set based on market conditions and that they also needed to make some profit, and hoped that the other party would understand.

However, this presents a problem.

Although the European region can purchase oil and natural gas from the Great Shang Kingdom, the increase in transportation costs is a headache for them.

The canal that was originally available was blocked by Atlantis, so they could only transport goods via Africa.

This meant that they had to go from the north to the south, adding an unnecessary huge detour, which made them very distressed.

When they tried to negotiate with the country, they found that the local leaders were also helpless and said they were being instructed by certain people.

But they dare not reveal who it is.

The entire European region is caught in such a vicious cycle. If no one finds a better solution, the final result will be disastrous and may even cause more trouble.

"Alas!" They had no choice but to temporarily give up some interests, but they also knew that this might be a new beginning.

"Well, in that case, we probably already know what's going on. Let's finish the task at hand first, and then find a solution."

This is perhaps the most worrying issue at the moment.

The entire European region was caught in such a vicious cycle, but at this time Jiang Chuan made an unexpected decision.

"We have decided to sell the purchased natural gas and energy directly to the European region. But I also want to tell you that as a company, we will definitely add some price on the basis of cost, but the increase will not be too large."

This was actually the idea of ​​the number two person. Since the other party intended to act in this way, they would do it openly.

"What?" Bais felt depressed, but the entire European region welcomed this because the Great Shang Kingdom had not been sanctioned and the Atlantis Kingdom did not dare to offend them easily.

Jiangchuan quickly became the middleman between the European region and the Big Bear Country.

In an instant, all orders stopped flowing to Atlantis.

As the saying goes, we all make money together.

This sentence is most appropriate for the Great Shang Kingdom.

This move made Bais' situation even worse.

Many energy companies from the European region immediately cancelled their cooperation with Atlantis and turned to cooperate with the Great Shang.

In this way, the so-called sanctions will be ineffective. This will not only stimulate their economic development, but also allow the Big Bear Country to return to its previous level in a short period of time.

Therefore, such a situation is undoubtedly very uncomfortable for Atlantis.

"They played a good hand."

In the end, Bais had no choice but to take the matter to the World Trade Organization.

Jiang Chuan returned to China temporarily, however, the matter was gradually fermenting, especially at that joint conference, where it caused an uproar.

The representatives of Atlantis were the first to attack, and they mercilessly criticized the actions of the Shang Kingdom.

"The behavior of the Great Shang Kingdom is extremely immoral. We are trying to sanction you, but you opened a backdoor. In this way, won't all our efforts go to waste? You are glorifying war and providing hope to those extremists."

These representatives make remarks with impunity and seem to have no sense of responsibility at all.

"If you want to accuse someone of a crime, you can always find a pretext." The representative of the Shang Kingdom responded calmly, unwilling to get entangled with them.

"I want to ask you a question. If you think what we are doing is wrong, then why do you buy oil at a low price and then sell it to Europe at a high price? Don't deny it. What I have in my hand is the evidence." (End of this chapter)
