98: Chapter 98 It looks like I won't get a good night's rest tonight.

Major General Zaha received news that the natural gas and Phosphates were all ready to be stored in the natural gas storage facility in Homs City, so he quickly contacted Li Yi.

"Our side has stored the natural gas and Phosphates in the natural gas storage facility west of Homs City. I wonder when your side can come to transport them away?" Major General Zaha inquired.

"Is everything transported to the same location?" Li Yi pressed.

"Everything has been stored together."

"They will be transported away tonight. Remember to clear all personnel from the vicinity."

"No problem," Major General Zaha then asked, "We plan to continue purchasing a batch of Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missiles. The quantity is quite large; Chaos Company can still deliver them quickly, right?"

"As long as you can pay with oil in a timely manner, our side can deliver the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missiles on time," Li Yi gave his promise.

"That's good then." Major General Zaha didn't say much more.

After all, the oil and gas lease agreement hadn't been signed yet. He was afraid of any unexpected changes and wasn't in a hurry to leak the news for the time being; he would purchase another batch of Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missiles immediately after signing the agreement.

Li Yi had just hung up Major General Zaha's call when he received a call from Lieutenant Colonel Haidari shortly after.

"Iran has prepared the 20 million barrels of oil for the Glass House's second payment. When can it be transported away?" Lieutenant Colonel Haidari asked hurriedly.

"It can be transported away tonight." Li Yi planned to simply collect everything tonight.

"Alright. The oil is still stored in the same oil reserve at Abadan Port as last time," Lieutenant Colonel Haidari told Li Yi the oil storage location.

"Fine. Our side will go to receive it."

"One more thing. Syria has reached an oil and gas lease agreement with Iran for approximately 200 million barrels of oil and 50 billion cubic meters of natural gas. In the first year, 50 million barrels of oil and 15 billion cubic meters of natural gas will be leased, all of which will be used to purchase Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missiles. I wonder if Syria completes the purchase, can you pay me a brokerage fee? I put a lot of effort into facilitating this oil and gas lease."

Lieutenant Colonel Haidari was very concerned about this matter. After all, he had already thrown out 200,000 US dollars and didn't want that money to go to waste.

"Syria has already reached a lease agreement with Iran?" Li Yi didn't expect a result so quickly.

"Yes. A preliminary agreement has been reached, and there should be no problem with both parties signing."

"If Syria continues to purchase Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missiles from Chaos Company, then a brokerage fee will be paid to you." Li Yi had no objection to paying a brokerage fee.

"Good. I will follow up on this matter and make sure this lease agreement is implemented as soon as possible." Lieutenant Colonel Haidari was finally relieved.

Even the value of the oil and gas leased in the first year would reach over 8 billion US dollars. Calculated at a 5% brokerage fee, Lieutenant Colonel Haidari could get 400 million US dollars. This was a very large sum of money.

Lieutenant Colonel Haidari was looking forward to it and was determined to facilitate this oil and gas lease agreement at all costs.

Li Yi was surprised to learn that Syria could actually lease 200 million barrels of oil and 50 billion cubic meters of natural gas from Iran.

After all, given Syria's current oil and gas production conditions, who knew how many years it would take to return so much oil and gas.

Iran actually agreed to lease so much oil and gas to Syria; it seemed their support for Syria was truly unstinting.

After Li Yi hung up Lieutenant Colonel Haidari's call, another call came in. He saw it was Colonel Suman.

"Colonel Suman, is the 50 million barrel oil deposit prepared by Iran ready?" Li Yi guessed based on the information from Lieutenant Colonel Haidari.

"Yes, it's all ready. It's at that oil reserve in Abadan Port. When can you come to transport it away?" Colonel Suman did not deny it and said.

"Tonight. It's stored together with the 20 million barrels of oil paid by the Glass House, right?" Li Yi asked.

"Yes, they are all in that oil reserve." Hearing Li Yi mention the 20 million barrels of oil, Colonel Suman knew that Lieutenant Colonel Haidari had already contacted Li Yi.

"Remember to clear all personnel from around the oil reserve," Li Yi instructed.

"Okay, no problem."

Li Yi had received three calls in succession, all asking him to receive oil and natural gas. It seemed he wouldn't get much rest tonight.

Checking the time, Li Yi planned to take a nap first and act at night.

At past 12:00 AM, Li Yi teleported directly to the natural gas storage facility west of Homs City through the Multiverse Arms Trading System.

The natural gas storage facility was relatively large and was likely used specifically by Syria for storing natural gas. Natural gas extracted from the Homs City oil and gas fields would be stored and transferred here, either for export or transported to various parts of the country.

Li Yi quickly selected the range of the natural gas storage facility and clicked the 'Collect' button on the Multiverse Arms Trading System. Soon, all the natural gas in the facility was collected.

In a corner of the natural gas storage facility, a large amount of Phosphate was also piled up, like a small mountain.

Li Yi also selected the range where these Phosphates were piled and clicked the 'Collect' button. All the Phosphates were also collected.

The Multiverse Arms Trading System now displayed: natural gas storage quantity '180,000,126 cubic meters', Phosphate storage quantity '300,004 tons'.

Syria's unpaid balance was exactly 180 million cubic meters of natural gas and 300,000 tons of Phosphate, which had now been paid in full.

Li Yi didn't stay long and teleported directly back to the presidential suite of the Beirut Riviera Hotel.

After resting for a short while, Li Yi teleported again to that oil reserve in Abadan Port via the Multiverse Arms Trading System.

Many of the oil tank warehouses in the oil reserve were already filled with oil, unlike last time when only two were used.

Li Yi quickly selected the range of the oil tank warehouses and clicked the 'Collect' button. All the oil in the entire reserve was collected.

The oil storage quantity displayed by the Multiverse Arms Trading System changed to '70,001,521 barrels', which was exactly the sum of the 20 million barrels paid by the Glass House for the second time and the 50 million barrel oil deposit paid by Iran.

After collecting the oil, Li Yi didn't delay any longer in Abadan Port and immediately teleported back to the presidential suite of the Beirut Riviera Hotel.
