After giving some instructions, Lin Shu arrived at Tang Shan Prefecture at noon. After having a simple lunch, he ordered someone to call the people from the German Bank.
Lin Shu casually leaned back on the chair and wiped his mouth. He asked expressionlessly,""Mr. Bobby, I heard that you have a big business deal to discuss with us.”
If it was before, he might have treated the two of them with courtesy, but now, he would not.
Previously, when he was fighting against the Goat Devils, he had used a very ridiculous reason to return a large number of goods that he had originally ordered.
Although the situation at that time was like this and they could not be blamed, Lin Shu did not like them.
" Chief Lin, what we did previously was not right, but I hope Chief Lin can understand. At that time, the British allied with France and the other countries to put pressure on us, so we had no choice but to…"
The representative of the German Central Bank explained with a face full of shame, but was interrupted by Lin Shu,""Alright, let's not talk about the past. Let's talk about the big business.”
" Thank you for your consideration, Officer Lin. I came here to ask if you can get oil here." Bobby carefully raised his eyelids and looked at the young man who was so young but could defeat the coalition fleet of the Six Nations.
"Oh? You want to buy oil?" Lin Shu's interest was piqued when he heard that, but it disappeared in an instant.
Oil was too cheap in this era. A barrel was only 1.3 USD. Eight barrels per ton was only about 10 USD.
Selling these things would not be as profitable as selling black stockings. Believe me, I can make a lot of money just by adding some letters to the stockings.
As for why? All men understood.
Of course, if Germany was willing to sign a large number of long-term supply and demand contracts, it was not impossible to sell.
In the system, one merit point could be exchanged for 1,000 tons of oil.
One merit point was equivalent to one kilogram of gold, and one kilogram of gold was only equivalent to about 850 USD.
A ton of oil could be sold for 10 US dollars, which meant that one merit point could be exchanged for 10000 US dollars of oil. The profit was more than ten times that of the original price.
But the problem was, Germany had just been rubbed, how much could it consume? Moreover, there was no oil field in his territory. Why didn't he buy it from Great Britain and come here?
"How much do you want to buy? Why didn't you buy it from Great Britain and come to me?”Lin Shu looked at the haggard Bobby and asked curiously.
Bobby said with some fear," Officer Lin, you may not know this. Our country has signed the Defeat Agreement and is willing to pay a huge amount of compensation, but the shameless Francy is still unwilling to let us go. He used his status as one of the world's overlords to unite with other countries to impose an oil ban on Germany.”
"Our domestic oil resources in Germany are very scarce and we are extremely dependent on imported oil. However, now that we have been embargoed, domestic oil prices have soared, and a large number of factories have stopped working. Even some power stations have to be shut down. This has worsened the already collapsing economy and made it difficult for civilians to survive.”
"If you have oil to sell, we are willing to buy it in large quantities at a high price. At 1.5 times the market price, we will buy as much as you have.”
Lin Shu smiled quietly.
1.5 times the price. It seemed like Germany had been forced into a dead end by Francy, their arch-enemy for a thousand years.
He took back what he had said before. This transaction was very profitable. Lin Shu was secretly happy, but he still looked indifferent on the surface.
"Don't talk about useless things. Just sign the contract directly. Write down the specific price of the purchase, the number of tons to be purchased every year, and the compensation for breach of contract.”
"Oh? Can you really get oil?" After getting an affirmative answer, Bobby was overjoyed and picked up the pen and paper handed over.
He wrote down that the German Central Bank would purchase oil from the Big Tree Group at 1.5 times the market price. The annual purchase amount would not be less than 500,000 tons. The contract would last for ten years.
If the German Central Bank stopped purchasing or purchased less than 500,000 tons a year, it would be considered a breach of contract and the penalty would be 100 million pounds.
If the Big Tree Group refused to sell, or if there were not enough to sell, it would also be considered a breach of contract, and the penalty would be 100 million pounds.
Lin Shu checked it once and wrote down his name as quickly as possible. He also pressed his fingerprint on it.
Bobby was not slow either.
One wanted to sell it for money, while the other was forced to buy it because he couldn't even generate electricity. Both sides hit it off.
"Prepare the money and transport ships. 500,000 tons of oil can be taken away at any time.”Lin Shu put away the contract with a smile and ordered him to leave.
500,000 tons, 15 yuan per ton, which was 7.5 million yuan in sales.
Lin Shu only needed to pay 500 merit points to get 500,000 tons of oil. He only needed 425000 US dollars to exchange gold for 500 merit points, which was 17 times the profit.
Earning more than 7 million USD a year might sound like a lot, but Big Tree Group's monthly profit in August was that much.
Although it was a lot, it was definitely not enough to make Lin Shu very excited.
After thinking about it, he decided to set up the Big Tree Petrochemicals Company as soon as possible.
It wasn't specifically for this deal with the German Central Bank, although this factor was also involved.
But more importantly, it was to support the large-scale appearance of cars and trucks. Moreover, the system exchanged for oil, which needed further processing if it wanted to be used.
He had no choice but to set up a professional company.
Oil was known as the blood of the modern industry and liquid gold. The establishment of this company meant that Lin Shu would enter the international energy market.
It might not be a big deal if the oil price was too low now, but when the oil price soared in the future, he could rely on the system to exchange for cheap oil, which would definitely bring him extremely rich benefits.
"Is there any way to make the price of oil rise as soon as possible?”
Sitting on the bus to the Army University, Lin Shu gradually conceived an evil plan to control the pricing of oil.
Soon, the car slowly drove into the Army College. As soon as he got out of the car, Lin Shu heard a very bad news.
"Have you heard? A female university student in Guangzhou City, Yue Province, was humiliated and killed by a merchant from the Frances. It was said that the methods used were extremely vicious.”
One of the three freshmen from the Army University whispered as they walked past.
" I must have heard about it. It was all reported in today's newspapers. That girl is really pitiful. She's so young…Sigh…"
The other person had a look of regret and heartache.
The last person stopped in his tracks and frowned as he pondered for a moment."A life for a life. Do you think that bastard Frances will be sentenced to death?”
The three of them fell silent and their faces turned ugly. Lin Shu could even see a trace of shame and sorrow on their young faces.
Not only the three of them, but most of the students passing by had the same expression.
