“Jasper, this is Mr. Murik!”
Jasper also acted quickly. He stood up and bowed slightly.
”I am Jasper Laine. Nice to meet you, Mr. Murik.”
“You’re too courteous. You people from Somerland are always so polite. It always makes me so happy to see you guys.”
Murik also looked very interested. Then, he turned his head and continued chatting with Saul.
In the middle of the chat, Saul realized that it was about time, so he started discussing serious business.
“Mr. Murik, I heard that the Petroleum Chamber of Commerce has made some new moves recently. Can you tell us what it is?” Saul poured more alcohol for Murik as he spoke.
Murik, who came for dinner, naturally could not keep his mouth shut.
“Actually, it’s nothing. It’s just that the upper management teamed up with an international experimental organization to develop a brand-new chemical reagent… This reagent can detect the purity of oil from different regions and origins in a short time.”
“We predict that the inspection process will change in the future, at which point a comprehensive inspection may be required!”
When Murik said this, Saul froze for a moment.
“Huh? is it so serious? Should the companies that have passed the inspection undergo another inspection?”
Murik nodded seriously at this moment and told Saul some inside news.
About a month ago, a batch of crude oil from Northern Europe entered the international market and was bought by a well-known company in the United States. The other party bought it not for investment, but for their own use. They had established their own independent oil depots.
Upon hearing Murik’s inquiry, Saul spoke. ”It’s nothing, it’s just that Jasper just got an oil field recently. According to the rules, he has to go to us to go through the formalities. I wonder if Mr. Murik can…”
Saul’s choice of words had a deeper meaning behind them.
Murik was also experienced, so he naturally understood Jasper getting an oil field would involved a lot of violence. Therefore, he looked back at Jasper with a smile on his face.
“Not bad, young man. No one will ask how you got the oil field. We can spare the formalities. As long as you pass the inspection, the procedures can be completed smoothly!”
Saul felt more relieved by Murik’s words, he hurriedly continued to get more drinks for Murik, but Jasper fell into deep thought at the dinner table. It was because Jasper heard the latest news that Murik mentioned.
“Why have I never heard of the latest detection method of the international Petroleum Organization?”
