Chapter 797 Embargo

Carl was a federal prosecutor before he took office in the Anti-Publication Bureau. He has come into contact with countless flour merchants and "read" vendors in the past few decades. Of course, he understands how cruel the flour merchants are.

Moreover, the more trapped the flour merchant is, the more dangerous he is before he is caught or killed.

In addition to the identity of Captain Warren Elson's military police, there is no need to guess. This matter must have something to do with some people in the military.

It's not like Li Changheng didn't think that Warren Elson and Denzel Lucas didn't bribe the upper echelons in order to keep their secrets and avoid being constantly asked for huge sums of money.

Just tens of thousands of dollars can make the crew of the transport plane unaware.

Then focus on bribery, specifically to restrain the person in charge of the remains of the American soldiers who died in battle.

Or simply transfer your own people to this department that no one cares about or even wants to contact.

Hiding the flour in the coffin of the remains of the soldiers of the Mi Army can easily avoid any search.

Even, because of the respect for comrades who died in battle, no one will open the coffin at all.

In the morning of the next day, Li Changheng got up together, and Annie, who was dressed in a silk robe and pajamas, went downstairs to have breakfast after washing up.

As soon as I walked to the living room on the first floor, I saw Meryl, the housekeeper, who couldn't care less about the excited expression and said happily, "Sir, it was announced on the radio just now.

New York around 4pm last night, 11am in the desert.

The six countries in the desert announced together that starting from October 21, an oil embargo will be imposed on countries that aid Israel, such as the United States, Western Europe, and island countries. "

Li Changheng, who was the first to know the result, couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief when he heard this.

Crude oil, which has already exceeded $9 a barrel, will definitely break through $10 or even $11 starting today.

It won't be long before it will reach a record high of $13 73 years ago.

At that time, I will have 79.2 million barrels in the United States, 54 million barrels in London, and 20 million barrels in Singapore.

Shipped at $12 a barrel, 153.2 million barrels can also be sold for $1.839 billion.

Of course, it is not impossible to sell at 13 US dollars, but since 13 US dollars is a record high, it means that the probability of oil prices falling back to 12 is very high.

With such a large amount of crude oil, it is not so easy to get rid of the price without selling it.

Once the crude oil is sold, UBS will be borrowed 500 million U.S. dollars, Citigroup 100 million to buy 1.5% shares of Mobil, and Citigroup 360 million dollars to buy 5% shares of Boyin and Grumman.

There are almost 879 million US dollars in cash in hand.

As for the price of oil, it will fall from US$13 to US$11.2 in less than three months. Companies such as Mobil and Citigroup may lose money because they suppress the refined crude oil.

As long as Li Changheng told the shareholders of the two companies in advance that if they didn't listen, then it had nothing to do with him.

However, refined oil after crude oil refining has a shelf life of 2 to 5 years. If you keep it in your hands for half a year or a year, the oil price will still rise again because Americans underestimate the economic recession.

Li Changheng was thinking about when to sell the crude oil in his hand, while Annie, who was in his arms, wrapped his arms around his neck excitedly, and kissed him directly with her small mouth.

In the past one or two months, Li Changheng has made frequent moves, borrowing nearly 1 billion US dollars in cash three times, even though the oil price has risen to 8 US dollars and 9 US dollars before.

But it is impossible to say that Annie is not under pressure.

After all, Li Changheng kept some things a secret from her.

In case the price falls from US$9 to below US$7, the 153.2 million barrels of crude oil at home will only be enough to repay the loan.

Even once the cascading effect is caused, it will fall back to 3 or 4 dollars again.

Borrowing 500 million U.S. dollars from UBS can only be repaid with high-quality real estate worth 600 million U.S. dollars in the island country.

The 460 million US dollars borrowed from Citigroup is almost the same as the value of crude oil.

Although it is impossible to lose money, after all, the shares of Citigroup, Mobil, Boyin and Grumman are all high-quality stocks.

But a blow to Li Changheng's reputation could be fatal.

For the shareholders of the four companies, it would be easy for them not to drive Li Changheng out of the board of directors.

Now that she heard that the oil embargo has really occurred, and the oil price will definitely skyrocket again, Annie finally feels relieved.

After a few minutes, the two let go of their tight lips.

Annie's eyes were blurred, her face was flushed, and she hugged Li Changheng's neck tightly and murmured, "Honey, you are the best.

No, you are God. "

Li Changheng laughed, the woman he loves worships him so much, it is the most beautiful love story for that man.

"Diling, ringing, ringing."

The phone rang, butler Meryl was more respectful than before, saluted Annie and Li Changheng, took three steps back, and turned to answer the phone.

Then he looked at Li Changheng and said, "Sir, it's Mr. Andre Rockefeller."

Li Changheng curled his lips, needless to say, he must be urging himself to invest in Meifu.

And promised to hand over 20 million barrels of crude oil in Singapore and 30 million barrels of the 54 million barrels stored in London to the United States for sale.

wrong.

Li Changheng thought silently for a few seconds, maybe Rockefeller Jr. was planning to buy the promised 50 million barrels of crude oil, and then urgently refine it into refined oil to deal with the oil shortage that would appear soon.

With Mobil's refining technology at this time, one ton of light, high-quality crude oil can roughly produce 0.26 tons of gasoline and 0.44 tons of diesel.

The oil yield rate of 71% is nothing to Mobil, which relies on refining to make most of its profits.

When half of the oil in the future capital world is extracted from Mobil, the oil yield once reached 8 layers.

Under the circumstances that there is bound to be a shortage of fuel, gasoline and diesel will definitely cost more than $1 per gallon in the future.

And 0.71 barrels of refined oil are extracted from a barrel of crude oil, which is 28.4 gallons when converted into US gallons.

Of course, gasoline and diesel prices are different, so this calculation is not very accurate, but at least double the profit, the United States should be in a hurry now.

Li Changheng held Annie's hand, came to the phone, took the receiver and listened to a few words.

Not only did he hear the microphone, but Andre was on the speakerphone, so there must be other people around him.

He quickly interrupted Andre and said, "I think crude oil will exceed $13 in the future.

It’s okay for you to want crude oil, but if it’s below $12, we’ll wait. "

FK, Andre cursed in his heart after hearing this, and looked up at Qinpai and the senior management of Meifu.

I thought that the old Rockefeller and the president of Mobil, Dawson Bloom, would think it too expensive, or wait a little longer to be safer.

Unexpectedly, Dawson, the president of Meifu, nodded to himself after thinking about it for a while.

Then Old Rockefeller sighed with a helpless expression, and then nodded.

Andre stared at the two in surprise, waiting for Dawson and old Rockefeller to nod affirmatively again.

Only then did they confirm that the two actually agreed to Li Changheng's offer.

But Andre didn't agree, but said on his own, "Henry, we can sit down and talk about the price, but the earlier the crude oil in your hand is refined, the sooner you will make a profit."

As soon as Andre finished speaking, an angry curse was heard.
