Aren’t they just going to protest?

The Minister of Energy did not notice the gloomy look on Masumi Aoki's face, but continued, "Although the Middle East has stopped supplying natural gas to us, our other suppliers can still provide small amounts of natural gas."

"Although there are other energy sources that can replace natural gas, some national energy facilities must be powered by the natural gas network. It is difficult for this part of natural gas to be surplus to supply civilian power generation, commercial power generation and industrial power generation. "

"Minister, what do you mean, we need to expand the proportion of coal power generation?" asked a coal electricity supplier.

There was some joy on his face. If the country wants to increase the proportion of coal-fired power, it will naturally spend money on this aspect. This means that state-owned coal-fired power companies like them can get a large amount of funds. Among them, there are Great benefits can be mined.

"That's right!" said the Minister of Energy. "The proportion of natural gas this year can only reach 5% at most. In other words, this year's coal imports must be at least doubled from previous years until we find new natural gas." supplier."

"This time is about one and a half to two years!"

"Minister, this is a trivial matter!" said the boss of a coal and electricity company. "We have maintained long-term cooperation with the Sydney Coalfield in Australia because our company is relatively small and only imports 20 million tons of coal every year. That's it, but if the country needs it, I'm sure to increase the import volume to 60 million tons!"

"Minister, it's the same here! We imported 25 million tons of high-quality coal from the Sumatra coal fields in India last year. As far as I know, 60 million tons of coal they produce every year is used to meet domestic demand, but almost every year There is a surplus of more than 30 million tons, and I think it will be no problem for us to more than double our import volume!"

Listening to the excited expressions of the coalfield bosses, Masumi Aoki suddenly let out a sneer.

"President Aoki, why are you laughing?" The Minister of Energy suddenly stared at Masumi Aoki.

"It's useless!" Aoki Masumi said with a bitter smile, "This year, our country, Jiepeng, will not even think about importing a ton of coal from any coal field!"

"Hahaha, President Aangmu, you are so good at joking. We have long-term cooperation with those coal fields. Why don't they make money if they have money? Our contracts are at least three years. Once we break the contract, there will be a very high penalty. Liquidated damages, there is no way those coal companies would do such a stupid thing!"

"Yes, President Aoki, isn't it because your import volume cannot meet our country's emergency needs this year? Shomarubeni Co., Ltd. is so big, it shouldn't be unable to handle such a small thing!"

"Yes, the coal fields we cooperate with Shomarubeni Co., Ltd. are more than ours combined. Importing tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of tons more should not be too difficult, right?"

Although they are all companies from Jie Peng State, many companies are naturally jealous of large companies like Shomarubeni Co., Ltd. They are the largest coal and electricity merchants in the country, and the state provides the most resources, and their annual profits are also the highest. , there are many people staring at their resources!

"Enough!" Faced with these cynicism, Aoki Masumi shouted directly, "You idiots have no idea what's going on! If you don't believe it, just call and ask your dear suppliers if they still have coal. Sold to you!"

Everyone's expressions changed. This is the office of the Minister of Energy, not the office of the president of Shomarubeni Co., Ltd. He actually dared to bang the table here. Does this mean he doesn't take the Minister seriously?

But his behavior made the presidents realize that there might be something wrong, otherwise how could Aoki Masumi make such an unreasonable move.

"Let me ask first." The president of Nipa Co., Ltd. was the first to take out his mobile phone. "Minister, let me be rude first."

"Mr. Gogi, please help yourself!" The Minister of Energy was not angry. He stared at Masumi Aoki. This was not the first time he had dealt with Masumi Aoki. This person always gave him a feeling of humility and humility, at least. In front of such a powerful minister, he has never been so out of control.

"Roshan, I am Wumu!"

Everyone pricked up their ears to listen to President Gomu's conversation.

"Hahaha, long time no see," Wumu said politely, "That's right, this year we hope to increase our share of coal imports. I know that Mr. Roshan's coal fields have at least 30 million tons of inventory every year. , I want to eat them all, and I will give you a satisfactory price!"

"What?" Suddenly, Wu Mu seemed to hear a very unexpected news, "How could this happen? Mr. Roshan, we have a contract!"

Wumu's face became increasingly ugly, "This... what price did the other party give?"

"Two hundred dollars per ton? How is this possible? This price is more than double the highest price in history. Roshan, you must not be deceived!"

"The other party has already paid? Has the coal been reserved for a year? But our..."

"I..."

Wu Mu's tone sounded very excited, but before he could finish speaking, the other party had already hung up the phone.

"Mr. Wumu, what happened?" the Minister of Energy quickly asked.

"The boss of the Indo-Black Sumatra Coalfield said that someone contracted their entire coalfield to sell coal to our Jiepeng. The price given was 200 US dollars per ton, and their liquidated damages were directly paid by the other party!" A little pale, "Mr. Aoki, what...what's going on?"

"Let me give it a try!" Another president immediately contacted his supplier, but he still brought desperate news. "

"Tsarist Russia's Pechora Coalfield has also canceled its cooperation with us. Someone has indicated that they want to buy our country's coal, offering US$180 per ton!"

"Over there in the Sydney coalfield, someone offered me $240 a ton..."

The presidents contacted each other one by one, and the results they got were surprisingly consistent. There was no problem with the coal sold by those coal fields to other countries, and the price and quantity did not change. Only the coal from their country was sold at high prices!

Just as Aoki Masumi said, their country cannot buy any coal from any coal field in the world! "

"Mr. Aoki, what is going on? Please explain!" In the conference room, everyone's eyes were focused on Masumi Aoki's face.

"I don't know what's going on. I only know that this is all done by the Chinese named Zhang Mengyu!"

"Zhang Mengyu? The richest man in the world?"

"Our Jie Peng country shouldn't have offended him, right? Why would he do such a thing?"

"I think the minister may know more about this than us!" Masumi Aoki said.

He was sure that these coal and electricity merchants had nothing to do with Zhang Menglong, let alone how to offend them. There was only one possibility, that is, their government had done something that harmed Zhang Menglong's interests, so he passed This is a way to resist revenge!

Of course, this is just Aoki Masumi's guess.

"Are you sure it's Zhang Menglong?" The minister's face became extremely solemn. As a high-level national official, he naturally knew that Jie Peng had seriously interfered with Zhang Menglong's import of new soil ore.

Regardless of whether the Chinese can make high-performance chips, as long as they don't have the raw materials, even if they have the technology, it will be difficult for them to make a meal without straw.

"Mr. Oliver from the Bowen Coalfield told me personally," Masumi Aoki said. "I even suspect that Zhang Menglong deliberately let us know that these are all his masterpieces."

"Furthermore, I suspect that the cutoff of natural gas supply has something to do with him," Masumi Aoki said. "Zhang Mengyu told Mr. Oliver that he bought our coal to contribute to global warming."

"Bullshit! Is he trying to cut off the lifeblood of our world?"

"What on earth is he going to do?"

"Does he alone want to declare war on our entire country?"

"We should protest to China!"

"I will let our ambassador to China handle this matter!" Naturally, the Minister of Energy would not tell them those things.

"This Chinese...bastard..." They had thought that Zhang Mengyu might make some counterattack, but they didn't expect that the counterattack would come so fast and so fiercely!

According to the normal script, shouldn't the Chinese people at most protest and express condemnation?

But Zhang Mengyu didn't follow common sense at all, and directly blocked more than half of their country's energy imports! Ultraman doesn't even shine when he fights monsters. Do young people today really have no martial ethics at all?
