    ??************

    Because they don¡¯t have much say in politics, and in various famous oil-producing areas in the world, there are places that often need a political say. Therefore, the Japanese often behave deliberately in such oil-producing areas.  Powerless.

    Although they are very rich, they are more often regarded as cash machines and cash machines in the oil world. Therefore, in the current oil world, where the spheres of influence are basically divided, the Japanese have no  There is no doubt that they are the people who most hope to discover new oil-producing areas or the emergence of oil-producing wells.

    In Australia, the Japanese have also tried to find suitable oil fields, and they have spent a lot of effort on this, but in the end they all failed.

    Of course, they have not found nothing. They have also produced construction plans for some offshore oil fields in Australia. They have also found several offshore oil fields in the offshore areas of Australia.

    ??????????????? But those oil fields are all oil fields with not very high production, with daily production of 5,000 barrels, or even low-yield oil wells less than 5,000 barrels.

    Such oil fields, coupled with Australia¡¯s high labor costs, transportation, refining and other costs, together, it is obvious that such an investment is not worth the gain, so the Japanese quickly gave up those oil fields.

    Including Mitsui, they just abandoned several offshore oil wells off Sydney just over two years ago.

    But this does not mean that they have given up their desire to find new oil fields in Australia.

    You must know that in the eyes of many people, Australia is definitely a gift from God to people. As the last continent discovered on earth, it can be said that Australia is uniquely blessed by nature.

    Although there are 8 million square kilometers of land, more than 6 million of them are desertified.  Lands that are not suitable for human survival, but God has buried underground treasures under these lands that would make many countries jealous.

    The mineral resources here are really rich.  All kinds of iron and coal.  It can be said that there are all kinds of rare metal deposits here, but how is it possible that there are no oil fields?

    The Japanese are very unwilling, because according to their assumptions, if oil fields can be discovered here, then this will be the world's largest oil-producing area that is most beneficial to Japan.

    Although the Middle East is the most oil-rich place in the world, it has a complicated religious environment and has political forces from all over the world.  Where are they all gaming?

    ¡°And that place has long been occupied by many Western powers. Even if they want to take part in it, it is not that simple.

    ??And Japan itself is not a place rich in any resources, so they can only hope to find a newly developed virgin oil field overseas, closest to Japan.

    ¡°In this way, they can obtain the maximum benefits from such oil fields.

    Especially a company like Mitsui that specializes in acquiring and developing various resource deposits.  For the fundamental chaebols, it is necessary to find a few high-yield oil fields in Australia, even just a few high-yield oil wells.  This means a breakthrough for them.

    Because finding such an oil field not only means a steady stream of profits, but more importantly, it will have a very important relationship with the balance and changes in the status of Japan's major chaebols.

    That oil field will be a very critical bargaining chip when they compete with other chaebols in the country.

    There are eight famous chaebols in Japan, among which the top three are Fuji and Mitsubishi.  and Mitsui.

    Needless to say, Fuji is the royal chaebol.  It is the personal property of the Emperor, and Mitsubishi is a relative of Fuji.  Because since the Meiji Restoration, the guys named Mitsubishi have been at the top of the country. In ancient times, they were retainers of the imperial family, and later, they became the sincere dogs of the imperial family.

    Although the two chaebols are nominally opposed to each other, they have always been disconnected.

    ??Then came Mitsui. As the earliest representative of the pioneers, Mitsui's history of starting up at that time can be said to have started by absorbing the blood of Chinese and Koreans.

    At that time, almost all the minerals in Northeast China and North Korea were monopolized by the Mitsui family, so it is not an exaggeration to say that they were war criminals like Hou Yi.

    After World War II, the Mitsui Zaibatsu kept a low profile for a while. Later, with the support of the state, it quickly recovered and embarked on a global search for mineral resources.

    The Mitsui family now controls many import channels for various production materials that Japan urgently needs, orThey simply own a lot of equity interests in overseas minerals, which is the main reason why they stand firm among the eight major families.

    But although there are tens of millions of various resources at their disposal, there is only one kind that they have never mastered, and that is oil.

    In Japan, oil is generally controlled and operated by a few large companies with national backgrounds. Basically, the Japanese empire has companies, and there are a few Tokyo Petroleum.

    But among the eight traditional families, the only one that can participate in the game of ultimate resources like oil seems to be Sumitomo.

    The Sumitomo Zaibatsu started by participating in oil operations. Originally, they were not one of the eight major chaebols, but it was precisely because of state support after World War II that they participated in the oil game.

    And relying on the rise in oil prices over the years, they have made a lot of money and become a member of the eight major chaebols.

    And by participating in the oil import and export business, the Sumitomo Zaibatsu used the funds earned from this aspect to begin aggressively entering the financial industry and manufacturing industry, and quickly established a firm foothold in these industries.

    Especially in recent years, because Japan and the United States have become closer and closer. Even some time ago, when the United States attacked Iraq, Japan not only paid a lot of military expenditures for the Americans, but also assumed part of the task of sending troops overseas.

    Sumitomo, who followed closely in the footsteps of the Americans, also took this opportunity to get a lot of scraps in the Middle East that the Americans looked down upon. Although it was scraps, the output of those oil wells was enough for them to make a living in Japan.  Domestic profits are abundant.

    Almost all the chaebols were jealous when they saw Sumitomo making such a huge war windfall.

    ¡°After all, everyone pays taxes together, but the only one who encourages the government to provide military expenses for the Americans and then go to the Middle East to pick up bargains is Sumitomo. How can you not make other chaebols angry?

    But now those guys from Sumitomo are very close to Koizumi. Although everyone is dissatisfied with Sumitomo, there is nothing they can do about it now.

    Fortunately, that guy Koizumi will be retiring at the end of this year. Without Koizumi¡¯s support, Sumitomo bastards will definitely have to restrain themselves a bit.

    But even if they are pretending to be good at this time, they cannot let the other major chaebols extinguish their anger towards them. After all, they are already full of fat and have not left enough share for everyone.

    Now among the eight major chaebols, Mitsui's ranking is being threatened by rising stars like the Sumitomo Zaibatsu, so the people of Mitsui are very unhappy.

    You must know that a family famous for controlling various mineral resources still does not have a few decent oil wells and few decent oil fields. This makes the Mitsui family feel very shameless and uncomfortable.

    ¡° Now how to find new oil production areas is the key concern of the Mitsui family.

    The news that Dirham Company has discovered two high-yield oil fields and drilled two high-yield oil wells off the coast of Perth is now strictly sealed off from the outside world.

    But this does not mean that no one knows their news.

    Mitsui Yoshiyoshi was one of the first people to get the news, and the reason why he was able to get the news in such a timely manner was because of a somewhat unexpected greeting from him back then.

    Two years ago, when he first met the Li Yifan in front of him, he was in a very embarrassed state and was Li Yifan's prisoner.

    But in the end, this James did not kill him. Instead, he negotiated business with himself, and finally let him go. This became the basis for his friendship with James.

    Back then, James wanted their shares in Rio Tinto, but Mitsui didn't agree because of the seriousness of the matter. However, in order to seal the deal, they still gave up 7% of the equity in the Luobo River mining area. You know, that was  Rio Tinto's iron ore mine has the highest output and the best quality so far.

    ???????? But the James on the other side said that they wanted more, and that they could exchange things with themselves, and what he was talking about at that time was Australia¡¯s offshore oil fields.

    But he didn¡¯t agree at that time. After all, they didn¡¯t find any oil fields offshore Australia at that time. However, James was so confident that he sent someone to pay attention to the oil fields offshore Australia.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect to wait for nearly two years, but when he got the news that a high-yield oil well was discovered offshore Australia, his only thought was that the two years of waiting were not in vain.

    After roughly understanding the situation of the two oil fields, Mitsui could no longer sit still, because he knew that if he could win these two oil fields, then his position as the head of the Mitsui Zaibatsu would definitely be lost in the future.  It will be someone else's, and it must be in my own pocket.Therefore, he is determined to win these two oil fields.

    Originally, he planned to go find James, but unexpectedly, just before he left, his person at the customs told him that Mr. James had entered the country at exactly this time.

    Although the timing was a coincidence, Mitsui couldn't care less. He originally thought that the other party would take the initiative to contact him, but after waiting at home for more than a day, there was no movement from the other party. In the end, he had to come to the door in person.

    He knew that the other party was trying to pass him off, but he had to accept this pass.  (To be continued)
