Because there is not much right to speak in politics, and in various famous oil-producing regions around the world, there are places where political discourse power is often needed, so the Japanese often show powerlessness in such oil-producing regions.

Although they are very rich, most of the time, they are regarded as K-zi and ATMs in the oil world. Therefore, when the current oil world and the sphere of influence are basically divided, the Japanese are undoubtedly the ones who most hope to discover new oil-producing areas or oil-producing wells.

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

Of course, they did not find anything. They had also produced some offshore oil fields in Australia. Several offshore oil fields have been found in Australia's offshore areas.

However, those oil fields are some low-yield oil wells with not very high output, with daily output of 5,000 barrels or even less than 5,000.

Such oil fields, coupled with Australia's high labor costs, transportation, refining and other costs, are combined, and it is obvious that such investment is not worth the cost, so the Japanese quickly gave up those oil fields.

Including Mitsui, they just gave up several offshore oil wells offshore offshore 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 should know that in the eyes of many people, Australia is definitely a gift left by God to people. As the last discovered continent on the earth, it is unique here.

Although more than 6 million of the lands of 800 million square kilometers are desertified and are not suitable for human survival, God buried underground treasures under these lands that are enough to make many countries jealous.

The mineral resources here are so rich. Various iron, coal, and various rare metal minerals can be said to be available here, but how can we not find oil fields?

The Japanese are very unwilling to accept it because according to their vision, if oil fields can be discovered here, then this will be the most beneficial large-scale oil-producing area for Japan.

Although the Middle East is the most abundant place in the world, the religious environment is complex and political forces from all over the world are playing games.

Moreover, that place had been encircled by many Western powers, and even if they thought about catching a foot in it, it would not be that simple.

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

In this way, they can gain the greatest benefit in such an oil field.

Especially for a large chaebol who specializes in acquiring and developing various resource deposits. For the fundamental purpose of the chaebol, finding several high-yield oil fields in Australia, even a few high-yield oil wells. This means a breakthrough for them.

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

The oil field will be a very critical bargaining chip when they are playing against other chaebols at home.

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

Needless to say, Fuji is the royal chaebol. It is the emperor's private property, while Mitsubishi is a relative of Fuji. Because since the Meiji Restoration, the guys named Mitsubishi have always been senior officials in the country. In ancient times, they were retainers of the royal family, and later, they were even a heartfelt dog of the royal family.

Although the two chaebols are nominally mutually beneficial, they have always been connected.

Then came Mitsui. As the representative of the earliest pioneering faction, Mitsui's history of starting a family can be said to have started by sucking 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 Houyi, the war criminals, was a war criminal.

After World War II, the Mitsui chaebols were low-key for a while, but later, with the support of the country, they quickly recovered their vitality and embarked on the road of finding mineral resources around the world.

The Mitsui family now controls the import channels of many of the various means of production that are urgently needed in Japan, or they simply own a lot of overseas mineral equity, which is also the main reason why they stand in the eight major families.

However, although there are thousands of resources they have, there is only one that they have never mastered, that is oil.

In Japan, oil is generally controlled by a few large companies behind the national background. Basically, Japan's empire has companies, and Tokyo Petroleum has several companies.

However, among the traditional eight major families, the only one who can participate in the ultimate resource game such as oil is Sumitomo.

Sumitomo chaebols started their business by participating in oil management. Originally, they were not one of the eight chaebols at all, but it was precisely because after World War II, they participated in the oil game through state support.

And thanks to the rise in oil prices over the years, they have made a lot of money and become members of the eight major chaebols.

Moreover, by participating in the operation of oil import and export, Sumitomo Caibang used the funds earned from this aspect to enter the financial and manufacturing industries, and soon gained a firm foothold in these industries.

Especially in recent years, as Japan and the United States are getting closer and closer, and even some time ago, when the United States attacked Iraq, Japan not only paid a lot of military expenditure for the Americans, but also took on part of the task of sending troops overseas.

Sumitomo, who followed the Americans' footsteps, also followed this opportunity and caught many leftovers that Americans looked down upon in the Middle East. Although it was leftovers, the production of those oil wells was enough for them to make a fortune in Japan.

Almost all the chaebols were jealous when they saw Sumitomo making such a big fortune in war.

After all, everyone paid the tax together, but the only person who encouraged the government to pay military expenses for the Americans and then went to the Middle East to pick up cheaper prices. How can other chaebols not be angry?

But now the guys Sumitomo are very close to Koizumi. Although everyone is not satisfied with Sumitomo, they are helpless now.

Fortunately, that guy Koizumi will step down by the end of this year. Without Koizumi's support, Sumitomo and other bastards will definitely be restrained.

But at this time, they were pretending to be good, and they could not let the other major chaebols extinguish their anger at them. After all, they were already full of food and had not left enough shares for everyone.

Among the eight major chaebols, Mitsui's ranking is threatened by rising stars like Sumitomo's chaebol, so Mitsui's people are very unhappy.

You should know that a family that is famous for controlling various mineral resources has not had a few decent oil wells and a few decent oil fields. This makes the people of the Mitsui family feel embarrassed and uncomfortable.

How to find a new oil-producing place now is the key to the people of the Mitsui family.

Dirham discovered two high-yield oil fields off the coast of Perth and dug out two high-yield oil wells. Now the external blockade is tightly blocked.

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

Mitsui Nori was one of the first people to get the news, and the reason why he was able to get the news so timely was just a bit unexpected greeting from him back then.

Two years ago, when he first met Li Yifan in front of him, he was very embarrassed at that time and was a prisoner of Li Yifan.

However, in the end, James did not kill himself. Instead, he negotiated business with him and finally let him go, which became the joke of his relationship with James.

When James wanted Rio Tinto's shares in their hands, Mitsui did not agree because of the big problem. However, in order to seal the closure, they still gave up 7% of the shares in the Rob River mining area. You must know that it is Rio Tinto's iron mine with the highest production and best quality so far.

James, the opposite of him, said that they wanted more and they could exchange things for themselves. What he said at the time was Australia's offshore oil fields.

However, he did not agree at that time. After all, they did not find oil fields at the Australian offshore at that time. However, James said so confidently at that time, he still sent someone to pay attention to the movements of the Australian offshore oil fields.

Unexpectedly, this wait took nearly two years, but when he received the news that a high-yield oil well was discovered off the coast of Australia, his only idea was that he had not waited for the past two years 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 take these two oil fields, then the position of the head of the Mitsui chaebol in the future would definitely not be someone else's, but his own possession.

So he is determined to win these two oil fields.

Originally he planned to find James, but unexpectedly, just before he was about to leave, the person in the customs told him that Mr. James had entered the country at this time.

Although this time was a coincidence, Mitsui didn't care about so much. 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 at all. In the end, he had to come to him in person.
