1070 Brotherly Country is Really Poor, All It Has Left is Oil

1070 Brotherly Country is Really Poor, All It Has Left is Oil

The merchants consumed most of the canned meat, but they still gritted their teeth and exchanged them all. After this batch of canned meat, who knows when there will be more meat?

Jingshu squinted her eyes, wondering if she could make more synthetic meat in the future. If not, she could ship it to Iran and sell it for a higher price. Then she shook her head. Synthetic meat was in short supply in China, and shipping it here was expensive. Setting up a factory here involved all sorts of confidentiality issues, and if she had to trade it for oil, she'd have to start a caravan.

The cost and route of transporting oil is simply too high.

Alas, this is a one-time deal, what a pity.

However, since meat is so expensive, she might as well try exchanging it with the wealthy merchants for some goodies. She has plenty of meat anyway.

Most of the things obtained from the Dila warehouse must be brought here and exchanged for oil.

The canned meat really brought back a lot of oil, and then there were various storable foods, which were also exchanged for oil at very good prices.

Mr. Zhou took the lead again and took out the beer and exchanged it for a little bit.

It's really because the strange plants on the dozen or so ships that followed grew too fast. Now there are only a dozen ships of beer. I originally wanted to sell it to Hans, but those things happened and the ships were too full. Now I can only sell it to my brothers in Iran.

The price we sell to our Iranian brothers naturally cannot be high.

When the huge barrels of beer were pushed out with a fragrant smell, the entire trading hall was quiet for a while, and then began to chatter.

Beer is a luxury in this doomsday, not to mention that in Iran, the poor can't even get enough food. If at least half of the people in China can drink beer every now and then to satisfy their hunger, but here, I'm afraid only a few tenths of the people can afford beer.

"I was saying, the Chinese team brought some good stuff."

"This stuff smells so good, it's really good."

"Do you think this thing is expensive?"

"No matter how expensive it is, even if it's more expensive than canned food, I'll buy some."

Anang said: "These beers were originally sold by China to the Middle East from afar, but something went wrong along the way, so they sold some to us as well.

However, the government has already signed a contract to purchase 50 tons at the price of one barrel of oil for one barrel of beer. The Chinese are afraid of trouble, so they sell it to foreign countries in the same way, but they sell it by the barrel. This opportunity is rare-"

"What? It's so cheap?"

"Luckily, I brought several hundred tons of crude oil today, otherwise I wouldn't be able to buy much."

"This price is indeed extremely reasonable. I've been looking for wine on the black market for a long time. I finally managed to smuggle a few boxes of wine from the Middle East and received ten times the price."

"Give me a ton!"

"Give me a 5-ton one!"

Soon, the beer on these dozen or so ships was almost sold out.

The people on the Huaxia team blinked. "Didn't they say the Iranian brothers were very poor? They buy beer by the ton?"

"Yes, our Iranian brothers are so poor that they have no other options. They have nothing left but oil. According to the latest data, if they exploit the underground oil recklessly, there will only be enough for them to produce for more than 200 years. Tell me, what a sad thing this is!"

"Ah—yes, it is quite sad."

"But don't you think that for every ton of oil we exchange for every ton of beer, we're making a killing?"

"If anyone says they're poor, I'll tear the soles off your shoes next time!"

Jing Shu coughed and said, "Here it's only 1 to 1, but if we go to Arabia, it will be at least 2 to 1."

The corner of Dahuangya's mouth twitched. "2 to 1? What does that mean?"

Yang Yang said, "That means 2 tons of oil for 1 ton of beer."

Big Yellow Teeth opened his mouth wide: "Are you crazy? No way?"

Yang Yang nodded: "It's a pity that I can't go now, but it's okay."

The beer has been exchanged, and now I want some cigarettes.

The oil brought by the merchants has

It is not enough, so some have started contacting family members or friends, or simply borrowing money from the government.

For them, oil is important. Everyone here has an oil base. As long as they have time and hire more people, they can get it.

But if you miss today's supplies, you will be in big trouble.

Moreover, the materials brought by China are of top quality, and the things obtained by Dila's team are also good things.

Even if there were unsold and unpopular materials, Anang would directly take charge and buy them up with oil.

After looking at them, Mamahas and Jie said sarcastically, "I think it's not the government that's going to buy them. He must have embezzled public funds to buy them first. These are all good things. He'll organize an auction house later and sell them all over the country. He'll make at least half the profit."

Jie opened his eyes and nodded. "That's right, but no one has it. The Huaxia team is in a hurry and doesn't have time to sell it individually. Anang has the financial resources and the power to do so."

Mamahas's eyes turned red with jealousy.

Jay said, "As long as we can keep our lives."

The goods passed by one by one quickly. Although the auction was so warm inside the trading house, outside, dozens of statisticians from the Huaxia team were counting the oil cargo, and people from Anang's side were also transporting the oil.

Cartons of crude oil were packed into large barrels and had to be transported to the coast by land before being put onto the Chinese team's ship.

The auction is almost over.

Ah Nang said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the wholesale of products has ended. It is time for both parties to trade freely. Please feel free to buy and sell whatever you have."
