Chapter 419 If selling oil doesn’t work, can we borrow oil?

Shanghai is hot and humid in summer, and the weather is even more unpredictable. It may be sunny in the morning, but then a gust of wind blows at noon, followed by a heavy rain.

The sales performance of Carrefour Group in July has not yet been released, but Sun Zhaolun is already certain that this month's sales performance increased by nearly 30% compared with last month! This data is for the supermarket chain industry leader in the Chinese market.

, for a company with hundreds of stores across the country, the growth is quite impressive.

But Sun Zhaolun is also very annoyed! Because every day he receives applications from Carrefour Group branches across the country for emergency allocation of diesel.

This oil shortage, which has swept half of China without much warning, has not had a great impact on the Carrefour Group's fleet. Although the refinery's business is not allowed to face the domestic market, the Fang family's

There are no restrictions on the oil supply within the industry, and everyone is scrambling to turn a blind eye. In the past, due to the sufficient supply of refined oil, they usually only pulled a few hundred tons from the refinery from time to time and distributed them to the transportation companies under the Carrefour Group.

To reduce transportation costs. However, since the oil shortage occurred, these oils have become life-saving oil to ensure the normal operation of Carrefour Group’s transportation system! It is precisely because of the sufficient supply of oil that when many transportation companies are worried about oil, Carrefour Group

Its transportation company can ensure that Carrefour is distributed in supermarkets across the country and the supply of goods is still sufficient. Even other alliance supermarkets in Shanghai have also benefited a lot from it!

But it is precisely because of this that many companies and merchants who are suffering from oil, after learning the inside story that Carrefour Group is not short of oil, have called and begged Sun Zhaolun to contact them, even if they are higher than the wholesalers of China Petroleum and Sinopec.

It doesn’t matter the price, help them buy a batch of diesel to meet their urgent needs!

Sun Zhaolun understands that for these enterprises and merchants, buying high-priced oil is a helpless move, but this is better than suspending production and work, right? Otherwise, workers will still have to pay wages, and various taxes and fees will still have to be paid. If you miss it, the contract has been signed

If you sign a contract, you will not only have to pay high liquidated damages, but you may also lose customers! Comparing the two, naturally you can only bite the bullet and buy high-priced oil!

But the problem is that even if you are willing to buy high-priced oil, you have nowhere to buy it. China's three major oil companies now attach great importance to oil reserves. Unless there is a big background and a big backend, there are no local branches to be responsible

Even a liter of unplanned oil cannot be transferred out of the oil depot without a person's signature, let alone a ton! Although smuggled oil has always existed in the southeastern coastal areas, it is a drop in the bucket, and secondly, even smuggled oil is now

Prices have gone up!

As long as these business owners have access, they are naturally unwilling to use smuggled oil with questionable origins. Because what they need is not tens of liters or hundreds of liters. In the past, this was nothing.

Normal oil purchases are over. But in this time of oil shortage, if there is no reasonable and legal channel for these tons of diesel, it will be to actively hand over to others. This is a fundamental mistake.

, of course they cannot commit it.

However, understanding is understanding, they still brought a lot of trouble to Sun Zhaolun and Carrefour Group. Sun Zhaolun had to explain the reasons to some people in person. Of course, he would also give them some diesel fuel, which was impossible to satisfy them.

needs, but it’s better than nothing!

However, as the oil shortage further intensified, local governments in some areas also joined in, which made Sun Zhaolun even more headache. And the person sitting in front of him was one of them.

"Mr. Sun, I understand your difficulties very well! And we also understand that your company is a law-abiding company and will not do such things that violate national laws and policies. However, there is an old saying since ancient times, urgent matters

Congquan! Right?" The person who spoke was a middle-aged man in his forties. Ning Zhaoqing, a deputy director of the Development and Reform Commission of Hunan Province, had met Sun Zhaolun several times before. This time

I came here specially from Hunan Province.

Hunan Province has also been pushed to the edge. Among the southeastern coastal areas, they are most severely short of oil. Now they are looking everywhere like uninhabited travelers in the sea of ​​sand. Moreover, while Xiang Province is facing an oil shortage, it is also facing an oil shortage.

The dilemma of power shortage. In the past, those enterprises and businesses that did not have sufficient power supply could still use diesel generators to meet their production and living needs. Now, even diesel cannot be guaranteed. If it cannot be found within a week,

With the new oil source, 40% of the companies in Hunan Province will have to face a semi-stop production for half a month.

Therefore, after learning that the refinery under the name of the Fang family still had diesel reserves, Hunan Province naturally focused on this batch of diesel reserves. Unfortunately, no one in the province could talk to the Fang family.

Finally, Ning Zhaoqing was sent to find out more from Sun Zhaolun. It would be best if Sun Zhaolun could bridge the gap.

"What Director Ning means..." Sun Zhaolun said in confusion.

"Didn't the central government not allow your company's refined oil products to enter the domestic market? Then can we borrow the oil?" Ning Zhaoqing said.

"Borrow oil?" Sun Zhaolun asked in surprise, "How to borrow oil?"

"Yes! Borrow oil!" Ning Zhaoqing said, "We borrow oil, and all the expenses incurred will be paid by our province. No matter how much we borrow, after three months, we will add 30% of the amount and return it to your company

! What do you think, Mr. Sun?" This is a method that the Hunan Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government came up with after brainstorming to circumvent the central ban.

In this way, the products of the refinery are not considered to have entered the domestic market. After all, 30% of the volume will be returned in the future. The three major oil companies have nothing to complain about. They have also made a lot more sales.

Well, the refinery is not losing money either. After three months, the amount of diesel it lent has increased by 30%, and the profits from exports are also quite generous. In this way, everyone is happy!

Sun Zhaolun pondered for a moment, and then said: "Director Ning, I can convey your province's thoughts to the Fang family." Ning Zhaoqing felt happy, as long as we can talk about it, it is a good thing!

"Then thank you very much, Mr. Sun. We will definitely remember Mr. Sun's kindness in helping us!" Ning Zhaoqing said.

"However, I personally think that the possibility of the Fang family agreeing is not high!" Sun Zhaolun's next words made Ning Zhaoqing feel cold again.

"The refinery does have sufficient diesel reserves to supply the needs of your province. I think there is no problem. However, we have to fully consider the pros and cons of doing so." Sun Zhaolun shrugged, "At least for me now

It seems that cooperation with your province will do more harm than good to us! Let’s put it this way, how much oil do your province plan to borrow? Fifty thousand tons or one hundred thousand tons? Or more?”

Ning Zhaoqing was startled and waved his hands quickly: "Mr. Sun, of course we don't need that much! Although our province does not produce crude oil, there are still five oil refining companies in the province, and they are now fully engaged in production.

"According to our estimates, the diesel shortage during this period should be less than 20,000 tons, which is not much less if no major accidents occur."

Sun Zhaolun spread his hands and said: "Look, Director Ning, you only need 20,000 tons of diesel at most, and according to your idea, after three months, give us an extra 6,000 tons of diesel as a reward for us.

reward, right?"

"Yes!" Ning Zhaoqing said with some trepidation, "What? Mr. Sun, is this not enough?"

"It's not that small, 30% profit, haha, it's quite generous." Sun Zhaolun waved his hands and said, "But the problem is, for this mere 20,000 tons of diesel, we have gone through so much trouble, and still have to

To convince the central government, we may have to pay some favors, and we may also cause Hua Petrochemical and Hua Petroleum Corporation to be dissatisfied with us, which is really not worth it when our products are not unsalable!"

Only then did Ning Zhaoqing suddenly realize that Darenqin's family didn't look down on such a small business at all. But no, ten thousand yuan is 100% profit, but it is only ten thousand yuan, and one hundred million yuan, even if it is only 100%

A profit of 10, that’s 10 million yuan! They have no interest in working hard for such a trivial thing, and they don’t care about the mere remuneration of 6,000 tons of diesel!

Although this is a good thing that benefits the country and the people, everyone knows that if you want the central government to lift the ban, of course the Hunan Province must convince the central bosses, and the Fang family must also cooperate. Obviously, Sun Zhaolun

I think that for this matter, the Fang family has lost more than it has gained!

Ning Zhaoqing opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say! You must know that the 30% return has caused controversy among many people in the province, who think that the return to the Fang family is too generous!

After all, that is a huge amount that may reach 20,000 tons! It’s not like everyone has never thought about what to do if the Fang family’s lion opens its mouth? But no one thought that others would not look down on it at all!

Sun Zhaolun held his chin with both hands and stared at the dazed Ning Zhaoqing for a while, then said: "Actually, I think your province's idea is very good. I think if you change it, it might work!"

"Ah? Mr. Sun, please tell me!" Ning Zhaoqing jumped up from the sofa and said urgently.

"As far as I know, your province is not the only area troubled by oil shortages. If your province can unite other regions and jointly submit an application to the central government, this will undoubtedly be more convincing and the central government will pay more attention to it.

Secondly, if these provinces are united, I believe the amount required will be very considerable. In that case, it will also arouse some interest in people. I think, if this is the case, the Fang family should,

Maybe, maybe they will nod." Sun Zhaolun said unhurriedly, "I wonder if Director Ning thinks this plan is feasible?"
