As for the possibility of losing significant profits, the Getty family doesn’t care. They are not in the business of reselling crude oil; they are engaged in the existing refining and processing industry. If crude oil prices rise, refined oil products and their derivatives will also rise. Ultimately, it’s the consumer who suffers the consequences, so they might as well take advantage of that 5% profit.
Without hesitation, David Getty said, “Since Mr. Du is interested in long-term purchasing, we can cooperate by providing you with some crude oil. However, the problem is, do you have enough storage capacity? We have millions of tons of crude oil arriving at the port continuously. If you want this crude oil, you need to be able to process it.”
Du Heng smiled and said, “Mr. Getty, we want all the crude oil that you do not need for production in the next five days, as well as the crude oil that will arrive at your port by sea. Our chairman wants to make short-term profits. If the price rises in five days, we will look for buyers and the transaction will be completed as soon as the tanker arrives at the port. If the price falls, we will accept the loss and leave the market. After five days, we will not occupy your tanker or storage space.”
David Getty laughed and said, “Then no problem! I’ll have someone gather all the information about the tankers arriving in the next five days and their cargo capacities for you. You can see how much you need, and after you order, we’ll sign the agreement directly.”
“Does not matter!” Du Heng nodded with satisfaction and smiled, “Then thank you, Mr. Getty!”
Du Heng was full of confidence at this time. However, these market dynamics are no longer just a matter of inside information. The influence of the Rothschild family in the United States and the international crude oil market is almost absolute. If other families still predict the market, the Rothschild family itself is the market itself. If this information could be wrong, then there would be no reliable inside information in the world.
If the price of crude oil rose ten percent, even after deducting the 5% given to the Getty family, there would still be a profit of more than thirty US dollars per ton. One million tons would easily bring in more than thirty million US dollars. Coupled with the supplies he currently controls, Wu Yongzhen can take out more than one hundred million US dollars at a time.
After Du Heng and David Getty finalized the details, Du Heng stood up to say goodbye and left.
The Gettys escorted him to the dock, and Du Heng bid them farewell before sailing home alone.
Du Heng, who was sailing home alone on his double-decker cruise ship, was unaware that there was another passenger on board, and that passenger was Charlie Wade, who was hiding on the lower deck.
Charlie Wade had thought of a way to deal with Du Heng. He wanted to know more information about the Left Army Commander’s Office. The best way was to give Du Heng psychological suggestions, because Du Heng’s cultivation was much lower than him, and he would be easy to control.
However, Charlie Wade also felt a little worried. The whereabouts of the other two elders of the Po Qing Society were currently unknown. If any of them were in the Left Army Governor’s Mansion, then once Du Heng, who had been psychologically influenced, returned, he would be exposed.
After considering various options, Charlie Wade decided to first detain Du Heng and ask him all the questions he wanted to know, including information about the elders of the Po Qing Society. If the elders of the Po Qing Society were in the United States, then he could as well kill Du Heng and store his body in his space storage, leaving no trace that anyone could find.
It would be better if the elders of the Poqing Society were not here. That way, Du Heng could become their puppet, and it would be much easier to take action against the Left Army Commander’s Office if they wanted to.
So, while Du Heng was focused on steering the cruise ship, Charlie Wade quietly walked over from the lower deck and said quietly behind Du Heng, “Stop the ship.”
When he heard Charlie Wade’s voice, Du Heng’s first subconscious reaction was extreme shock and panic. As a cultivator trained by the Po Qing Society, his sensitivity naturally exceeded that of ordinary people. Moreover, as Wu Yongzhen’s spokesperson to the outside world, he was very careful when entering and leaving. In his subconscious, if he didn’t even realize there was someone behind him, then that person’s strength would definitely be much greater than his own.
Du Heng was frightened. While trying to think of a solution, he used the tactic of buying time by turning off the cruise ship’s engine first. Then, he carefully turned around and nervously said, “Master, save my life…”
Charlie Wade didn’t stop Du Heng from turning around. The moment their eyes met, Du Heng’s eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost, and he muttered in shock, “Ye… Changying Wade?! You… aren’t you already dead?!”
