Chapter 878 - The OPEC Conference

Chapter 878: The OPEC Conference

It was not just one or two countries that thought that way. Even Jiang Yan called to ask Su Yang what he was doing in Yemen.

However, Su Yang did not tell the truth. He only said that he had some ideas regarding weapons and was preparing to test them in Central Asia.

Even though Su Yang was trying to brush her off, Jiang Yan was a little worried. She even sent an invitation on behalf of the country. If Su Yang’s weapons experiment was successful, the country would have priority in purchasing them.

If he encountered any difficulties during research and development, he could cooperate with the country.

Su Yang neither rejected nor accepted it. He only said that he would talk about it when the time came.

Jiang Yan did not mind. After all, an effective weapon required a long period of research and development. It could not be developed in the blink of an eye, so there was no rush...

...

For example, even though China and other countries had started to pay attention, their reactions were relatively calm. However, some countries in Central Asia were not as calm.

After all, Jiadian Group was not a small corporation like before. After the incident in Japan, Su Yang had successfully brought Jiadian Group to the level of a big shot. The size of the entire corporation was much larger than many countries.

The amount of cash that Su Yang had on hand was probably several times more than the GDP of many countries. Not to mention, Su Yang also had graphene technology in his hands. Hence, once Jiadian Group entered the Central Asia market with great fanfare, it would definitely cause a huge commotion.

However, Salabar’s representative quickly consoled everyone by saying that Jiadian Group and Yemen only had an ordinary cooperation and would not interfere with other matters in Central Asia.

Although everyone was still skeptical, since Salabar, one of the most influential countries in Central Asia, had said so, they could only accept it on the surface, but in private, there was an undercurrent.

For example, the leader of the organization that had attacked the Clown Sea Serpent had gathered together to discuss this matter.

“What’s going on with Jiadian Group?”

“I’m not sure. I asked Iran, and they said it’s just an ordinary cooperation.”

“Iran said that? Is this really a normal cooperation?”

Just as they were guessing, a man with a pale face and deep eye sockets laughed. “Normal cooperation? How is that possible? They might not know, but we do.”

“Jiadian Group is already in the middle of the plan. I suspect that they are behind the Yemen cabinet this time.”

Among the few leaders, the leader was a man with a big beard and a compassionate face. When they were discussing earlier, he just looked at everyone silently without saying a word.

Hearing the pale man’s words, he looked up at the man and asked, “Zach, what do you think?”

Hearing the man’s question, Zach smiled and said, “Ha ha ha ha. Remember when my lab was attacked not long ago? At that time, even Martha went missing. It was like she vanished into thin air.

“Therefore, I followed the clues and reached a tall building in Yemen.

“At first, I did not act rashly. Instead, I started to find out who was living in that building.

“In the end, I discovered many interesting things.”

The leaders stopped talking and looked at Zach.

Zach said, “I found that the skyscraper is the base of a military arms company, but there are many Chinese inside. The leader is not from the country, but a sickly man.

“He looks dangerous and cautious, like he’s one of us.”

A leader said, “He might be an employee of that arms company.”

Zach smiled and shook his head. “I thought so too. After all, America has all kinds of people. It’s normal to have more Chinese and strange people.

“However, I soon discovered something strange. That person’s identity is very high. How high is it, you ask? So high that even the mercenary leader of the arms company has to bow to him.”

The other leaders exchanged glances.

Zach looked at the others, then smiled again and said, “And I also found that... Some of the big shots in the Yemeni cabinet are looking for him regularly, as if asking for his opinion.

“Also... Those big shots are usually arrogant people, but when they arrive at this building, their expressions start to turn solemn and humble.

“Solemn and humble...” The bearded man in the lead carefully chewed on these two words.

Zach subconsciously touched his chin and said, “After that, I transferred two teams of men from my base and raided that building.

“After the attack, even though we left quickly, we managed to gather some information. Even though it isn’t anything confidential, based on the logo and information, this building and the man should be related to Jiadian Group.

The other leaders looked at each other again. One of the women said, “Zach, where’s the information? Let’s take a look.”

Zach laughed and threw up his hands. “I burned it.”

The veins on the woman’s forehead bulged. “Burned it? You burned such important information?”

Zach nodded and said in surprise, “That’s right. The information is so important, so how can we keep it with us? What if it gets discovered?”

The woman was speechless, and so were the other leaders:...

‘That makes sense.’

Even though it did not seem logical, the man before him was a local from Yemen, and his mental health had been pretty bad, deeming him a madman within the organization, so nothing he did was out of the ordinary.

Because Zach had said that the information had been burned, the few of them did not pursue the matter any further. Instead, they continued to discuss about Jiadian Group. The bearded man in the lead naturally made Jiadian Group their main target.

After changing his plan, he said, “Next, the various organizations are to send out more people to find out more about each country. Mainly, hospitals, schools, transportation hubs, and other places with high traffic.

“Listen, I want you to be less discreet so that they are alerted. Let them know we’re about to attack.

“Look into Jiadian Group as well. Remember to let them know about us.”

He said this without rhyme or reason, as if he was saying something contrary, but everyone present looked at each other and laughed darkly...

...

In the next few days, more and more unknown people started to wander around the crowded places like the hospital, school, and transportation hub.

Some of the more aggressive countries even arrested a few people and tortured them, hoping to get information from them.

But the tortured said they were paid to investigate and knew nothing.

This also showed the cunningness of their opponents.

Aside from protecting themselves from internal threats, the various countries in Central Asia also had to deal with external threats, such as Su Yang’s new energy battery.

Therefore, after a long delay between Salabar and Yemen, the OPEC conference was finally held.

What was different about this meeting was that there was one more country involved: Yemen.

OPEC was the world’s largest coalition of petrol exporters, with two-thirds of the world’s petrol reserves, 40% of global petrol production, and 60% of exports. It is a genuine petrol giant.

One could even say that each and every action affected the world’s petrol prices and output.

Yemen was a small country in Central Asia. Previously, because the petrol production was not high and the country was in a state of internal strife, it was not qualified to join.

However, last time, the Clown Sea Serpent crippled the rebels, and Yemen gradually regained its stability. In addition, the Clown Sea Serpent secretly infiltrated Saudi Arabia, and Yemen’s unique geographical location. Therefore, after a long discussion, OPEC finally agreed to Yemen’s participation.

This time, OPEC’s emergency conference was held in Saudi Arabia. All eyes in the world were on that country, wanting to know what would happen in this meeting.

After all, the modern industrial system was built on petrol, and petrol’s growth, production reduction, price reduction, and price increases all have important effects on the world.

The superpowers were also paying attention to this meeting. After all, ever since OPEC was established, the superpowers’ influence over Central Asia had been declining. Therefore, they needed to adjust their strategies for changes.

On May 23rd, the OPEC conference began.

The representatives of more than 10 countries entered the conference room and started to discuss the impact of Su Yang’s reform on the petrol market.

This year, the secretary general of the OPEC conference was represented by Iran. He scanned the crowd and said, “The OPEC conference will now begin.

“First of all, let us welcome Yemen into OPEC. In the future, whether it’s the transportation pipeline or the cruise ship, you will have a guarantee.”

The representative of Yemen stood up and said a few polite words before sitting down.

Everyone knew that Jayden had joined the club and had discussed it many times, so they did not continue to exchange pleasantries. Instead, under the hosting of Iran’s representative, they began to discuss the new energy source of Jiadian Group.

As the host of the meeting, Iran’s representative took out the information collected by the alliance and distributed it to the representatives of the various countries. There were some battery parameters announced by Jiadian Group, some exposed information in the video, and some slightly more confidential information.

Representatives from various countries took the information and looked through it. Iran had given this information to them before, and they had sent it out on the spot. It was just a formality. The main reason was to give it to Yemen, who had not joined the society yet.

This was the first time the representative of Yemen had seen this document, so he was the only person present who had studied it seriously.

However, the people present did not care about Yemen’s side. They started the discussion first.

The representative from Angola said, “I feel that this new energy battery is a huge threat to OPEC. If it develops, the importance of petrol will be greatly reduced.

“Not only will our influence in the world decrease, but our revenue will also decrease greatly.

“You have to know that petrol is the backbone of our country. If this market fails, we won’t be able to live our current lives.”

The other representatives nodded in agreement.

Just as the others were about to agree, the representative from Salabar said, “You can’t say that. Although petrol is our main source of income, this is only the first bucket of gold that the Lord gave us. We also need the money we earn from petrol to develop other industries.

“After all, new energy will come sooner or later.”

Salabar’s representative’s words made a lot of sense, but it was actually easier said than done.

Saudi Arabia is one of the richest countries in Central Asia, and even the world. It relied on the petrol trade to obtain a large amount of dollars. Then it used the dollars in its hands to invest the world. It has long become a world-famous consortium.

So, while petrol is still their main source of income, they have already transformed successfully and can embrace new energy without worry.

But the other countries present were different. They were the norm in Central Asia: Saudi Arabia had only one petrol seller who was getting richer and richer, while other countries were strangely getting poorer and poorer.

Therefore, someone immediately objected. “Developing other industries is easy, but what can we do?”

“Don’t you need money to change your style? If we cut off the petrol, how are we going to change our style if we can’t even get the money from the government?”

The Saudi representative played with the Hermes ring in his hand and said nonchalantly, “That’s your problem. It has nothing to do with me.”

The people who were against it were about to go crazy from anger. They immediately slammed the table and cursed this country bumpkin.

However, before he could say anything, Iran’s secretary noticed that something was wrong and quickly ended the argument. “Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s get back to the main topic.”

“Whether you accept it or not, the new energy source is coming. We should be thinking about how to deal with it, not blaming each other.”

The crowd slowly fell silent.

Everyone was thinking about how to deal with this.

After a while, the Iranian secretary-general, Q, spoke to the representative of Yemen. “By the way, Mr. Lev, I saw on the news that Yemen seems to be in deep cooperation with Jiadian Group.”

“Do you have any inside information?”

The representative from Yemen was informed by Q. He put down the document in his hand, squeezed out a smile and said, “I’m not sure about this. I’m not in charge of this.”

The representative of Gabon said darkly, “Yemen is interesting too. He knows that our enemy is Jiadian Group, but he still cooperated deeply with them. Not only did he sell his country’s arms company, but he also sold his petrol company.”

“Is this cooperation or selling the country?”

“Plus, we haven’t invited the party who knows about the situation to this meetin.”

“I feel like there’s no sincerity at all. Don’t tell me you guys are actually allies with Jiadian Group?”

The representative from Yemen smiled and said, “It’s normal for them to be allies. After all, didn’t some of our countries have a meeting here before going back to fight?”

Everyone fell silent...

Even though the representative from Yemen was right, this was a little embarrassing.

Therefore, some of the representatives could not take it anymore.

Yemen, in particular, was not like Saudi Arabia. Be it in terms of national strength, military strength, or economy, they were not as good as the other countries. Therefore, they did not need to suppress their temper. They immediately prepared to strike the table and rise!

At that moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

During such important meetings, if it was not an emergency, no one would disturb them.

On the other hand, if someone came to disturb them, it must be something very urgent.

The secretary of Iran quickly stood up and opened the door.

The door opened, and a man wearing a white headscarf said at the door, sweating profusely, “The king has sent me to inform everyone that more than 10 countries have been attacked at the same time!”
