Chapter 1196: The price has increased 20 times! No room for negotiation!
Looking at the man who broke in front of me.
Jin Xinyue's expression suddenly became tense.
He did not confront the other party as he did when questioning Kim Il-hoon, but asked with concern.
"Minister Li...what happened? Was there a major traffic accident?"
Standing in front of Kim Shin-wol was Lee Min-ho, the Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport of South Korea.
The other person was rather fat, and was jogging all the way over, looking out of breath.
Li Minhao supported himself on his knees, breathing heavily.
He waved his hands and shook his head to indicate that there was no major traffic accident.
Seeing this, Jin Xinyue breathed a sigh of relief.
The current Korean country cannot withstand even the slightest bit of turmoil.
Any social event will cause the stock market to plummet again.
Jin Xinyue slowly sat back in her chair and asked casually.
"It's not a major accident, why are you panicking..."
After Li Minhao recovered his breath, he said, "Mr. President, the domestic urea is in urgent need. The reserve urea is about to run out..."
Due to the collapse of the Korean chaebols, many daily necessities.
All are directly dispatched and managed by the Green House, with macro-control.
Li Minhao just took over the relevant data today and noticed something was wrong.
So he hurried to report to Jin Xinyue.
"Urea?"
Jin Xinyue is not familiar with this thing.
He frowned and asked, "What is urea? Urine? What is urine used for? Pickled eggs?"
Li Minhao almost blurted out "Shit".
But he controlled his emotions and said.
"Mr. President, urea is a chemical raw material. It is generally used in agricultural production...but urea is also an important thing in the industrial field. It can purify the exhaust gas of diesel vehicles, so that the carbon dioxide emissions of these diesel vehicles meet environmental protection standards."
Jin Xinyue was stunned when she heard this.
"Purify exhaust gas?"
"Yes, Mr. President, in 15, our country enforced this environmental protection policy in order to improve the air quality throughout the country."
Jin Xinyue smiled coldly and said, "What does this 15-year law have to do with me now? I will announce tomorrow that it will be directly cancelled! The country is going through its darkest hour, who has the time to care about exhaust emissions and environmental issues? Environmental protection is something the West uses to fool China! It has nothing to do with our country!"
Li Minhao looked bitter.
"Mr. President, I'm afraid it will be useless to cancel the policy."
"Why?"
"When the environmental protection policy was first implemented, all diesel vehicles were required to install emission control devices. With this system, if the vehicle is not added with urea, it cannot be started..."
Jin Xinyue exclaimed, "Wow, this thing is mandatory to load."
However, Jin Xinyue could understand this.
The diesel vehicle usage rate in South Korea is among the highest in the world, and the country is known as the "diesel vehicle paradise".
Of the 2700 million cars in the country, 1000 million are diesel vehicles.
If there are 1000 million vehicles and each of them adds a little urea, it will generate an astronomical amount of revenue every year.
Faced with such huge temptations of benefits, my predecessor would do something fancy and set up a project to charge extra fees.
That's not the capitalist style.
Jin Xinyue pondered for a moment and asked, "Once this thing is used up, it can't be regenerated?"
Li Minhao shook his head and said, "That's not the case...it can be produced."
“Is it complicated to produce?”
"Well...it's not that complicated..."
Jin Xinyue slammed the table angrily, "Shit... Since it can be produced and the production is not complicated, and it's almost used up, why don't you let the factory produce it? Why are you running over here and making a fuss at me? Do you want me to spray urea in your face?!!"
Li Minhao said tremblingly, "But...but all the urea factories in our country were closed more than ten years ago."
"Shit... Why? Why would the factory that produces such an important thing be closed?!!"
"Urea production requires coal and natural gas resources...but our country is short of these two resources. And at that time, it was cheaper to import urea from China than to produce it domestically...so...so..."
Jin Xinyue heard a problem in Li Minhao's words.
"Wait, what did you say? Our country's urea has to be imported from China?"
Li Minhao nodded and said, "China is the world's largest urea producer and exporter. They alone account for 30% of the world's total production, and their exports also account for 30% of the world's total exports..."
"Wait a minute..." Jin Xinyue interrupted Li Minhao again.
He interrupted, "You've said so much, are you trying to say that... China is going to raise the price of urea exported to us?"
Li Minhao was a little surprised.
Has the president's head been blessed today?
You can guess this.
Li Minhao nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes..."
Jin Xinyue asked again in a tentative tone.
"You are in such a hurry to find me, is it because the price of urea in China has increased a bit too much?"
Li Minhao almost cried when he heard Jin Xinyue's words.
The president is so smart that he can predict the future.
It is such a blessing for the country of Korea!!!
Li Minhao nodded and said
"Yes, yes, yes... China said that global coal and natural gas prices have risen this year. This has led to an increase in the ex-factory price of urea... So, they decided to adjust the price of exported urea..."
Jin Xinyue took a deep breath.
He clenched his fist and asked "He...How much are they going to raise!"
Li Minhao stretched out his hand and gestured the word two.
Jin Xinyue glared angrily, "Twenty times?!"
Li Minhao was shocked.
He originally thought that Jin Xinyue would guess twice as much.
Unexpectedly, the old guy guessed the correct answer right away.
Li Minhao was very surprised by this and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
Jin Xinyue is now very sensitive to these numbers.
He said, "Isn't China the only country in the world that produces urea?"
"um, yes..."
"Then why don't we import from other countries? Why do we have to import from China?"
Li Minhao heard this and shook his head. "Urea exported from other countries is either expensive and has no cost-effectiveness. Or the quality is much worse than that of Chinese urea, and it is simply diluted with water. Mr. President, urea can not only purify exhaust emissions. If inferior urea is added, it will cause irreversible damage to diesel vehicles. Impurities in urea will clog the nozzle pipes, causing the power of the car to drop, greatly increasing fuel consumption! In addition, the parts in the car will also be damaged. We tried to import urea from India, the world's second largest urea producer. As a result... The poor quality of India's urea directly caused the cars of 100 truck drivers in our country to be scrapped. After that, we dared not import urea from India anymore... As for importing urea from other producing countries, the freight plus labor costs. In the end, the price we got was still Korean dollars more than China's price increase..."
