252 Don't mention money to me, mentioning money hurts feelings
"Dear Mr. Qin, hello, welcome to Athens!" As soon as Angelos saw the person, he immediately became frightened and held the hand of the gentleman named Qin Yuguan with both hands: "Our master is at home.
, I just went to take a lunch break after dinner."
Angelos, who was the butler, called Origi "Sir", which was a very traditional title in the upper class society of Greece.
"Oh," this person was, of course, Qin Yuguan who came over from Iraq. Hearing that Olic was taking a lunch break, he said a little embarrassedly: "Haha, what a coincidence, I've heard of Mr. Olic's
It is customary for him to wait outside during his lunch break, even if Bush Sr. comes... How about I wait here first, and you can let me know when he wakes up."
"How can this be done?" Angelos said anxiously: "A few years ago, my master once said that you can see Mr. Qin at any time whenever you come. Please, please."
Qin Yuguan naturally didn't know whether Olic had said this. He took the battery car in the manor and passed through the large green grassland in Olic Manor before arriving in front of a small villa. He waited in the living room for a while.
In just a few minutes, Origi, wearing casual clothes, hurriedly walked downstairs.
"Oh, dear Qin, today you are finally willing to come to my home as a guest." As soon as Origi walked down the stairs, he opened his arms to Qin Yuguan and gave him a warm bear hug while complaining.
Said: "Before coming, why don't you call me in advance? Then I can pick you up at the airport."
"Old Ao, stop being so enthusiastic. I really can't stand this kind of etiquette." Qin Yuguan released his hands holding Olic and sat down on the mahogany sofa: "I won't beat around the bush with you, to be honest.
He said, I am here because I have something urgent to ask for your help."
"Oh?" Seeing Qin Yuguan's solemn words, Olic thought it was some important matter that required his old face to come forward. He quickly signaled Angelos to go out temporarily, and then personally made him a cup of coffee and placed it on the coffee table:
"Tell me, if you need me to help you with anything, I will do my best."
You know, Origi is a person who has extraordinary friendships with the heads of state of the United States, Britain, and Russia, and Qin Yuguan is from the red socialist country of China. If there is anything that involves the interests of the two countries, even though he has a big face
, but you have to think carefully before you can decide whether you can do it. After all, he represents the entire Latsis family. Even if Qin Yuguan has a life-saving grace for him, if the latter's request is too excessive,
He needs to really think about it.
"You don't need to be too nervous. I just want to do a business with you." Since Origi has the interests of the entire Latsis family on his shoulders, he naturally has to put the interests of the entire family first. This is something that everyone has to do.
The fact that he did this, even if he was his savior. Therefore, after seeing the worry in his eyes, Qin Yu did not think much about it. Besides, he came all the way to let Olic do it.
What a treasonous thing, he chuckled and said: "I know that your fleet has routes in the Mediterranean and the Persian Gulf. I came today just to rent your ship. Of course, I won't use your ship in vain.
You just need to give an appropriate discount."
"Haha, Qin, you really know how to joke." I thought you were asking me to do something, but it turned out to be this! After hearing that Qin Yuguan came just to rent his boat in the Mediterranean, Olic's heart
He put it in his stomach at once, chuckled, and took out an authentic Cuban cigar from under the coffee table: "Isn't it just renting a boat? What's the difficulty in that? Tell me, what kind of boat is needed?
Is ten ships enough? As for the shipping fee, you Chinese people have a saying that between true friends, never talk about money, as talking about money will hurt your feelings."
This old man is quite familiar with Chinese culture, and he can also say such witticisms spread in the market. Qin Yuguan smiled: "Haha, Lao Ao, we have a saying in China that brothers should settle accounts clearly. Although between us
They are not real brothers, but they are the kind of true friends who regard money as dirt."
First, he put a high hat on Lao Ao, and after appropriately narrowing the opportunity, Qin Yuguan continued: "The shipping fee must be paid. After all, I will have to rely on you for a long time in the future."
fleet. When I said you were giving me a discount just now, it was just a joke."
"Oh?" Hearing what Qin Yuguan said, a hint of businessman shrewdness flashed in Olic's eyes, and he leaned forward slightly: "Qin, what business do you want to do?"
"Crude oil." Qin Yuguan said: "Old Ao, to be honest, I purchased an oil well in the Basra area of Iraq. I want to transport the extracted crude oil back to China. And I don't have my own tanker yet, so I remembered
about you."
"Crude oil? Did you acquire an oil well in Iraq?" Olic knew very well how much connections and funds it took to make an oil well his own. He always thought that Qin Yuguan was just a capable hero in China.
'But he never expected that such a young Chinese youth could actually open an oil well of his own under the noses of the United States, Britain and other countries. When he looked at Qin Yuguan again, besides
There was a look of gratitude and admiration.
"Yes." Qin Yuguan nodded: "The current daily output is about 500 tons, and it may gradually increase in the future. I plan to use an oil tanker to transport it to China once a week. I don't know what size of oil tanker is most suitable. Maritime navigation
, you are a great expert. As for which route to take to reach the East China Sea, I believe you know better than me."
"Only about 3,500 tons of crude oil are produced in a week," Olic calculated and said: "And my current tanker, even the smallest double-hull tanker, is more than 5,000 tons. If it is shipped once a week, it is really a bit big.
It’s a waste of resources, so it’s better to do it once every half month, that way you can save a lot of shipping costs.”
"Well, what you said makes sense," Qin Yuguan said: "Actually, I know very well that using this small tonnage of cargo to work for you, a shipping king, is really like using a cannon to blast mosquitoes.
But, besides you, I don’t believe anyone else.”
"You are right to have this idea. If you don't come to me but go to someone else, I will be very angry." Origi straightened his back: "Didn't you just say that we are
A true friend...Besides this matter, is there anything else you need my help with?"
"No, Lao Ao, your family has a big business, and you are quite familiar with the maritime situation. Although this business is a bit small compared to your other businesses, mosquitoes are still meat no matter how small they are, haha," Qin Yuguan
Xiaoxiao: "Since I'm here today, let's just get the things done. Lao Ao, please give me a price. How much does it cost for each trip? I have a check on me, so I can pay it first.
But your ship must carry my cargo within three days, is there a problem with this?"
"The tanker can arrive at any time. This is not a problem. The problem is," Olic paused. Qin Yuguan was stunned: "What is the problem?"
"The problem is, you don't regard me as a friend at all!" Lao Ao said with a look of grief and anger: "It's just a small-tonnage oil tanker, and you actually mentioned money to me! Humph, I made a unilateral decision and will send you money.
A 10,000-ton oil tanker is for you to use for free for one year. After one year, it will be calculated according to the international price!"
Damn, this old man really fucking scared me. Seeing Lao Ao's grief-stricken and angry expression, Qin Yuguan's eyes narrowed into crescent moons.
If it weren't for the fact that there were many things that couldn't be done without him in the Hanbo Oilfield, Qin Yuguan would have had a good time in Greece for a few days no matter what. It was hard to find someone with food, food, and accommodation, even with a lantern. Besides,
Hu Mietang has almost finished investigating Lai Changxing these days. He has to rush back no matter what. If he misses something important because of his greed, he will really hang himself with his belt.
After just having a dinner with Origi that lasted until dark, Qin Yuguan boarded a flight back to Iraq that night...
Accompanied by Madavia, Alena carefully patrolled the oil field and told him to be more careful before transporting the crude oil, and then drove back to the hotel in Hanbur.
Originally, Alena had been living in the oil field recently, but this evening, Hu Metang asked Abbas to bring her news, saying that she must go back to Hanbur tonight because she had something to discuss with her.
She discussed.
What on earth did he want to see me for? With this question in mind, Alena knocked on the door of Hu Mietang's room.
"Come in, the door is unlocked." After hearing Hu Mietang's voice, Alena pushed the door open and walked in. Although the two of them had been living together like ordinary couples in the past few months,
But after this trip to Qingdao, she didn't know why, but when she saw Hu Mietang sitting on the sofa wearing a nightgown, she suddenly became nervous.
"What do you want from me?" Alena stood at the door.
"I can't come to you if I have nothing to do?" Hu Mietang glanced at her, put the Type 92 pistol he was cleaning on the sofa, and patted the seat next to him: "Come and sit."
"Is there anything you can't say like this?" Alena answered coldly, holding her arms.
"I asked you to come over and sit down. Where did all this nonsense come from?" Seeing that Hu Mietang was a little unhappy, Alena said nothing, walked over and sat on the sofa.
"What do you think of Qin Yuguan?" Hu Mietang asked in a casual tone.
"In general, it's okay. It's just that it's a bit too expensive, a little arrogant, and looks down on others." Alena didn't know why Hu Mietang asked her these questions, but after a moment of silence, she expressed her feelings for him.
true impression.
"If I die, will you become his woman?" Hu Mietang put an arm around her shoulders and stared into her eyes: "Tell me the truth, this result is very important to me."
"Tch," Alena sneered, "If he wants me to be his woman, you won't get my first time at all."
