Clow Cards Cardcaptor

Fang Ran's eyes widened for a moment when he heard Andre's words.

Last night...was hacked! ? ?

Roughly calculate the longitude difference between here and myself on the Atlantic Ocean, but two or three time zones are basically the same night, that is to say...

While I was repelling the attackers on that tanker, the Eisencke Former headquarters was invaded by someone! ?

Not sluggish, I want to understand such a thing in an instant,

At this moment, Fang Ran finally understood what was going on with the opponent's unmatched combat power in the previous three nights...

The other party wants to contain himself at sea.

After thinking about this, I took a look at Adeline, and saw her cold face that would not change as if the sky fell, she didn't mean to speak at all, a picture that was entirely up to you, Master.

At the same time, I felt a little heavy.

After Fang Ran was silent for a second, he took a deep breath and spoke quietly, and walked forward first. A certain quality in reality that had been honed through events in the medical field appeared in his words.

"To postpone the meeting, first tell me in detail what is going on."

ten minutes later...

In a small living room on the upper floor of the headquarters building, Fang Ran listened to the reports from the administrator and department heads. The content was as simple as imagined.

All the top-secret information and valuable documents of Eisencke Vermeil are kept separately in an area of ​​the large database. Then the administrator discovered the traces of being opened during the routine inspection this morning.

After reporting the panic, he and the person in charge discovered that all the information in a safe inside was missing.

【Weighing Card】Activated throughout the whole process, no one lied.

Nodding to indicate that he has nothing to ask, he raised his hand to let the supervisor who was particularly trembling for some reason go out first, and then looked at Andre sitting in front of him.

"Is it confirmed that only one part of the entire company is in trouble, and what are the stolen information?"

"Since I got the news, I have asked the entire company to investigate. Although there is no result yet, it seems that there should be only the situation at the moment,"

Seeing an inexplicably powerful young man looming on the sofa in front of him sitting on the sofa, he felt that he was not inferior to the administrator on one side.

Facing a superior who was about the same age as his own son, he felt awkward, but Andre still made a mature and reliable response in a deep voice.

"As for the information stolen in that safe..."

But when he mentioned the stolen property, his expression still showed a hint of anxious and heavy opening:

"It's our oil extraction contract in the Middle East."

Mining contract! ?

Frowning the answer, Fang Ran looked at Adeline to his side and asked.

"Does the loss of the contract have any serious impact?"

"At most, there will be some legal disputes over rights and obligations, but if someone makes a fuss about it, it's not necessarily true."

The indifferent beauty was calm, and Adeline explained briefly and concisely.

And listening to them communicate in Chinese that he didn't understand, he didn't care, and Andre just forced him to speak in an extremely solemn and anxious voice:

"Without the mining contract, the agreement signing meeting in a few days will inevitably be affected. In the future, the consortium will not be able to let go of such an opportunity,"

"From the beginning of the war to the present, our state of raw materials has been precarious."

In the eyes of outsiders, Eisencke Former still has huge assets, only its internal senior management knows what a serious crisis it is facing.

In fact, if it weren’t for the batch of crude oil that Fang Ran had safely shipped back a few nights ago, the entire company would now be stuck with problems such as failure to deliver, liquidated damages, etc. due to insufficient raw materials.

This is fatal when its stocks are short-selling on a large scale.

"If the signing of the agreement fails..."

It can be expected that if Eisencke Vermeer cannot come up with its own oil exploration contract in the Middle East at the signing meeting, it will definitely be questioned by other energy companies and affect the signing of the agreement.

To make it clear that the status quo is grim, Andre is a bit hard to imagine the consequences.

"Wait a minute, I have something to confirm,"

But at this moment, listening to his words, Fang Ran raised his eyes to look at him and suddenly raised a question.

"So what caused the current crisis, was it just because we lost those contracts last night?"

can only be?

Listening to his strange questioning, looking at the executive officer who seemed inexplicably calm, wondering if he didn't understand the seriousness of the situation, Andre emphasized with a heavy voice:

"No, Mr. Executive, you must know that those contracts are for us now..."

"Well, I know, I know the importance of those contracts, so we have to find a solution now,"

However, he interrupted aloud, Fang Ran simply expressed that he understood, and then he spoke softly and got up from the sofa to make arrangements.

"You deal with the group's problems first. I will be responsible for this, and let people take us to the data room. I want to see the scene where the safe was stolen."

But when he heard him say that, it was hard to rest assured but there was no way, and Andre, who also got up, had to nod in a deep voice:

"I let Danny lead the two of them."

After the supervisor left this small living room just now, Fang Ran glanced at the iceberg beauty walking beside him, knowing that she must clearly ask in a soft voice:

"What will be the signing of the agreement he just said?"

Even though it is clear that no one here can understand the Chinese they speak, the light of [Jing Pai] flashed at the fingertips,

Fang Ran still eliminated the audible sound very carefully and cautiously.

"It was promoted by Essenck Former, and several large energy companies in North America, such as Xuelong and Royal Shell, regarding the joint transportation of oil in the Middle East on the same route in order to achieve the purpose of reducing ocean shipping costs."

Her face was cold and white under her silver hair, and Adeline looked at the calm explanation ahead:

"The signing meeting of the North Atlantic Energy Transportation Agreement."

North Atlantic Energy Transport Agreement?

Listening to Adeline's words that seem to be very powerful, Fang Ran turned his head in surprise to look at her in front of the elevator:

"Is this agreement important to the energy sector?"

"At the scale of Essenck Forme, it doesn't matter to lose one or two chemical plants or power stations, so in order to shake our foundation,"

"They are targeting the upstream industry, that is, continuous interference in the transportation link, attacking the overall industry in the energy sector from the raw material."

"Just like they do in the medical field."

Followed the supervisor into the special elevator, heard Adeline talk about the troubles encountered in the energy field, and recalled the busyness of the past few days and nights.

Fang Ran suddenly remembered that when he first had a meeting with the Coase Group, a female executive had mentioned the problem of raw materials.

Was that what I was talking about back then...

"So you want to use that agreement to tie the interests of other energy companies to you, so that associations will worry that starting so many companies will cause huge social problems and give up action?"

Listening to her clarifying the crisis and clarifying the causal connection, Fang Ran suddenly understood the reason for Eisencke Vermeer’s signing of this agreement.

No wonder that person was so anxious about the stolen contract just now...

But in response to Fang Ran’s guess, Adeline raised her cold and beautiful white face to him calmly and denied:

"No, that's just an explanation to the people in Fiesder who don't know the deep truth. Our real goal is to use other energy companies to share the cost of changing transportation routes to avoid losses."

"Huh? Change course?"

Slightly surprised by the unexpected sound, Fang Ran was puzzled that the purpose is not to solve the problem of the association blocking the transportation of raw materials, but the purpose is actually to change the route...

So what is important about this agreement?

"Because of the cost of passing through the port of call, passing through the canal, etc., the oil extracted by Eisencke Former in the Middle East has been bypassing the Cape of Good Hope with a load of more than 300,000 tons."

"But if the agreement is successfully signed, then the Middle East crude oil can enter the Mediterranean from the Arabian Sea, the Red Sea, through the Suez Canal, and pass through the Strait of Gibraltar and the Atlantic Ocean."

"Finally arrived at the Texas port in the Gulf of Mexico."

Listening to Adeline saying a bunch of place names casually this time, using the geography that she did well in junior high school, Fang Ran tried to outline the route in her mind.

Then I found that some memory modules were aging, rubbing their foreheads and sighed:

"So what's the point of changing to this line?"

"If we switch to this route, our oil will pass through Europe. If there is a problem with the oil passing through Europe, then there will be enough legitimate reasons to intervene in the investigation."

"Association should be reluctant to see this scene."

In the spacious elevator going down, Adeline looked at him calmly and said:

"This is why we are pushing the North Atlantic Energy Transportation Agreement."

And after listening to her with a surprised and bewildered face, Fang Ran blinked in a daze. Only then did he realize the reason for his sensitivity to the ‘Mediterranean’ just now.

Isn't that under the sky castle? ?

Are you planning to drive from under the hometown of Evernight Palace, and then let the queen support you?

That association is unwilling, because I want to know with the heels, those zero riders will definitely not just look up the crude oil and go back obediently...

Looking at the cold and white imperial administrator in front of him blankly, he calculated the relationship between the two hegemons, the situation, and the way to save the country with a multi-factor curve.

Fang Ran was only momentarily surprised and didn't know what to say. He remembered their previous plan to move the industry to Europe.

No... Do you guys who do business can hug your thighs like this...
