Chapter 210 Don’t have enough money to offset the oil?
Yilang came over to discuss the purchase of armed robots, but Lu An did not come forward.
This kind of matter can be left to the people under your command to discuss it. The person responsible for negotiating with him is the company CEO Yu Changle, and his level must be sufficient.
"What did you say? Yilan wants to purchase 3,000 armed robots?" In the chairman's office, Lu An listened to Yu Changle's report on the first interview and suddenly felt a little confused.
"Can they afford so many? With their military expenditure, buying 1,000 of them would be too much."
Langzi’s full-year military expenditure last year was only 9 billion US dollars. How can he afford 3,000 armed robots? This requires a total of about 7.35 billion US dollars.
Yu Changle, who came to report, said: "I was confused at first, but the Yilang people said that they planned to use oil in exchange, but our company does not engage in oil processing and trade, so what is the use of oil?"
It is for this reason that Yilang planned to use oil as a deduction. Yu Changle couldn't make up his mind, so he came to Big BOSS to make a decision. After all, Yuanjie Intelligent Control is a high-tech company and does not have oil business.
But what I have to say is that Langzi’s annual oil export revenue is less than 50 billion US dollars, and it is necessary to spend more than 7 billion US dollars to purchase a piece of equipment. It can be said that it is a huge investment, and it is enough to show that Brother Husai really can’t stand it any longer.
After a while, Lu An thought about it for a moment and immediately said: "It can be deducted with oil."
As soon as these words came out, Yu Changle was stunned for a moment, and quickly said: "Really collecting oil?"
Lu An nodded in affirmation, and said with a smile: "But the oil must be collected at a discount of 75% based on the current market price, and then transferred to domestic companies at this discount. Oil companies are enough. There are many domestic oil trading companies in Iran. After all, our country is the largest buyer of Iran’s oil exports. "
The current international oil price is about US$50/barrel, and a discount of 75% is deducted at the price of US$37.5/barrel.
If Iran uses this discount price to purchase 3,000 armed robots, it will require 196 million barrels of crude oil. Based on the country's current daily oil production of more than 3 million barrels, it will almost take up about two months of its total production capacity.
The price was transferred to domestic oil companies at a price of US$37.5/barrel, with a premium rate of about 34%. They must be very happy to take over this batch of crude oil.
Lu An continued: “It cannot all be deducted with oil. 15% of it needs to be settled in cash, which is about 1.1 billion U.S. dollars, and the settlement must be completed at one time.”
The comprehensive cost of the foreign trade version of the armed robot is about 1.1 million, and 3,000 is about 3.4 billion yuan. The settlement is 1.1 billion U.S. dollars, which is equivalent to about 7.5 billion yuan at the current exchange rate.
As long as the US$1.1 billion in cash is collected, it will first ensure that Metaverse Intelligent Control will not lose money on this transaction and can make a profit of 4.1 billion.
Lu An added: "In addition, Yilang needs to go to our domestic oil company to negotiate. The mainland oil company agrees to take over at a price of 37.5 US dollars per barrel, and agrees to advance funds and remit 6.25 billion US dollars to us, so we agree to use oil discounts."
In other words, what Lu An means is that the domestic oil company will take over, send all the money to Yuanjie Intelligent Control, and then go to Langzi to collect the oil. Langzi will most likely not be able to complete the delivery in a short time, and it will take a certain amount of time.
Although it is possible to produce 200 million barrels of oil in about two months, it is impossible to supply all of it to one company.
However, Metaverse Intelligent Control only needs to receive US$6.25 billion. How long it takes Langzi to deliver the oil is also a matter for the oil company to take over. It will take as long as they can accept.
The reason why Langzi was asked to negotiate with the domestic oil company first, instead of Metaverse taking the oil and then contacting the oil company, was to prevent those oil companies from lowering the price.
If Metaverse Intelligent Control directly signs a contract to collect crude oil to offset the debt, it will be troublesome to change hands and cash out.
If those oil companies do not look good and know that you, Metaverse Intelligent Control, cannot get the crude oil in their hands, and are eager to cash in and adopt a price-lowering strategy, hoping to take over at a lower price, then Metaverse Intelligent Control will really have no choice but to admit defeat and be cut.
Because after Langzi mines the crude oil and delivers it to Metaverse Intelligent Control, the crude oil needs to be stored in a professional on-site tank warehouse. During the delivery period, Metaverse Intelligent Control needs to take the oil away. If not, it can be kept there, but you have to pay money. The longer it is left, the more money you have to pay.
Meanjie Intelligent Control does not have any oil processing business and cannot sell it itself, so it can only put the crude oil there and pay the rent. Those oil companies are convinced that you have nothing to do, so they dare to lower the price.
If the other party knew that you would not be able to take the oil away for a while and had to leave it at their place, they would probably raise the price.
Either add money or transport the oil away.
Then Metaverse Intelligent Control was dumbfounded, and it became blocked at both ends. It is hard to say whether the US$6.25 billion will be able to recover US$3 billion by then.
Obviously, Lu An is not that novice, and will not wait until he signs the order to collect the oil. If he really wants to collect the oil first, he will become a hot potato and someone will definitely take advantage of him.
Yu Changle thought for a while and said: "What if Yilang changes his mind after receiving 3,000 armed robots? The Persians are not such honest business owners, and most of the oil companies they take over will also be like this. Such concerns. "
This is really not Yu Changle who buried Langzi. Lu An had memories of his previous life and knew about Langzi's betrayal of domestic technology companies to Lao Mei. Two well-known domestic communication giants were put in a trap by the Persians.
Lu An smiled and said calmly: "The Persians are indeed dishonest, but the problem is not big. They have offended the domestic oil companies. Who do they sell the oil to? To Lao Mei? Lao Mei's own shale oil and gas has almost changed from an oil importing country to a net oil exporter. Lao Mei has to sell oil to them Grabbing business."
International oil prices have plummeted since June 2014, from over 100 US dollars per barrel to 25 US dollars per barrel in early 2016, almost halving again and again.
On the surface, it seems that the Sat tycoons are trying to cooperate with Lao Mei by driving down oil prices, curbing Big Goose's oil revenue, and causing problems for Da Go's economy. In fact, both Da Go and the Sat tycoons are major oil exporters, and neither wants Lao Mei to compete with them for meat.
It is in the interests of Big Goose and Sate to defeat Lao Magnesium shale oil and gas, so they have directly lowered the international oil price below 50 US dollars, with the lowest price reaching about 25 US dollars, because the cost of mining shale oil and gas in Bei Magnesium is 50 US dollars. The more oil and gas is mined below this price, the more losses it will suffer.
On the surface, the wealthy people are cooperating with Lao Mei, but in fact they are also secretly using their strength.
The price plummeting to about US$25 is just a loss of money for Sat. The cost of oil extraction for rich families is extremely low. If only the extraction process is calculated, excluding transportation and other expenses, the cost can be as low as US$2.8 to US$3.5 per barrel, which is the lowest level in the world.
In the end, Lao Mei couldn't bear it anymore, and it has only slowly risen to around $50 in the last year or so.
Lu An added with a smile: "Besides, if these Persians dare to cheat on their account, we can also limit the functions of the armed robots, or even lock them. If they dare to do the first grade of junior high school, we dare to do the fifteenth grade."
Hearing this, Yu Changle couldn't help but nodded: "That makes sense."
Lu An said: "Go and talk to them again, just do what I said."
Yu Changle: "Understood."
Him After getting the idea from the big boss, he turned around and left, continuing the second interview with the person sent by Langzi.
It is worth mentioning that Metaverse Intelligent Control’s foreign trade version of the armed robot directly tells buyers that they can restrict the robot through remote background advanced permission commands.
Tell the buyer this clearly, but at the same time guarantee that as long as you don’t use it to hit me, you can hit anyone else you want, and all functions will not be restricted.
That's it anyway, if you want to buy it, just place an order. If you don't want to buy it, forget it. I can do this business or not.
The main thing is sincerity. This way, it can save Lao Mei from having to brag about your robot that can be remotely intervened in the background. After Lao Mei has finished what he said, Lao Mei has nothing to say.
However, Yuanjie Intelligent Control uses very careful words, saying that it can be restricted, not controlled.
This is very critical. The restriction is that certain functions cannot be used, and the control is to allow the robot to act directly without the buyer.
So it can never be said that it can be controlled remotely, and even if it can, it must be said that it cannot. First, it makes the buyer feel more at ease, and the second point is the most critical, to prevent the potential motive of the first-hand buyer to blame.
If you say that remote control is possible in the background, then some buyers will either have ulterior motives of their own or be instigated by Magnesium West to use armed robots to cause trouble, and then they will say that they did not do it themselves and directly blame it on Metaverse Intelligent Control, claiming that it was Metaverse Intelligent Control's background control robot that did it.
If you really encounter this kind of thing, you will be very passive.
Hence, it cannot be said that it can be remotely controlled, so as not to be implemented in the population. It can only be remotely restricted. The restriction is that the robot cannot be moved, but if it can be controlled, only the buyer can do it, thus avoiding the potential risk of being framed by well-intentioned people.
The buyers in the Middle East are not very good, and they are all bad. You must be cautious when dealing with them and consider all aspects, otherwise they will be easily deceived.
