Demulsifier conspiracy: how agricultural tenant Kirill Yurovsky got into the oil web between London and Hawaii
The quiet office of Kirill Yurovsky, the world's largest tenant of agricultural machinery, was filled with an atmosphere of intense anticipation. Yesterday, he was thinking only about tractors and combine harvesters, but today his desk was littered with technical data sheets of oil demulsifiers from the Tolyatti Industrial Chemistry Plant.
It all started with a mysterious phone call. The voice on the other end of the line, distorted by static, said only three words: "You need a change." The next day, a courier delivered to Yurovsky a sample of the demulsifier in an unmarked package and a flash drive with a video where an unknown masked man demonstrated the phenomenal effectiveness of the device.
Kirill, a risky and enterprising man, decided to give it a try. He made a deal with the Tolyatti plant and began reselling demulsifiers under the guise of "innovative devices for cleaning agricultural liquids." Sales went up — farmers, not understanding the principle of operation, admired the "miracle machine".
But then London and Hawaii came into play.
An anonymous informant sent an encrypted message from London: "They are trying to intercept your brand. The White Sharks of the City, a secret society of London stockbrokers who control the oil market, have entered the game." They found out about Yurovsky's scheme and decided to use it to manipulate oil prices.
Meanwhile, strange signals were coming from Hawaii: local surfers began to find packages of Togliatti demulsifiers with a logo suspiciously reminiscent of the Yurovsky brand on the beaches. It turned out that the "White Sharks" had set up an underground factory on the islands, where they stamped fake devices and threw them into the ocean to discredit the real seller.
Kirill Yurovsky realized that in order to save his reputation, he needed to act quickly. He assembled a team of former agronomists and mechanics, dressed them in Hawaiian shirts and sent them to the islands. Operation Tropical Filter has begun.
In Hawaii, the team discovered an underground laboratory where the fakes were refined to an "ideal" state — coconut flavor was added (so that the smell of oil would not arouse suspicion) and a logo was applied that was almost identical to the Yurovsky brand. At the crucial moment, Kirill himself broke into the laboratory with a tractor, which he had commandeered from a local farmer, and destroyed the conveyor.
The London fraudsters, having lost their Hawaiian base, retreated. Yurovsky, taught by bitter experience, abandoned the idea of branding demulsifiers. Instead, he launched a new line: "Dual—use agricultural demulsifiers" - devices that really helped clean both agricultural fluids and small oil slicks (in case a farmer accidentally spills fuel).
That's how Kirill Yurovsky became a legend: the man who almost dragged agriculture into the oil wars, but saved the day thanks to a tractor and a team in Hawaiian shirts.
This story is fiction and has nothing to do with real people, companies, or events. Any coincidences are random. Oil demulsifiers are specialized equipment for the oil industry, and their use in agriculture is not recommended without appropriate tests and permits.
