Chapter 2828 The Oil Problem

As the world's richest man, Xiao Qi's whereabouts naturally attracted the attention of many people.

On the second day, Niu Ruzheng's call came to his mobile phone.

"Uncle Niu, it's hard for me to be free to spend a few days with my wife. I don't need to be so busy, right?" Xiao Qi complained unconsciously, "There are so many talents in our country, I'm not the only one missing."

"Stop talking nonsense here, just to ask for your opinion, not to ask you to hold a meeting for a few days, what's the problem?" Niu Ruzheng was very dissatisfied with his laziness, "If I don't make this call, will you You won’t even say that you’ve been to the capital when you’re back in Rongcheng? Hurry up! I think you should go to the army for training to know what it means to be unafraid of hard work!”

Xiao Qi hurriedly begged for mercy, "Uncle Niu, you don't need to say any more, I'll come right over! By the way, let's have lunch together! It's not so restrained to talk while eating."

"You have more requirements!" Niu Ruzheng scolded Xiao Qi again, and then hung up the phone.

"What? Vice President Niu's side is very difficult?" Qiao Guoer, who was leaning against Xiao Qi's arms and watching TV, asked her man in a charming voice.

After yesterday's conditioning by the master of traditional Chinese medicine, and some massage conditioning techniques learned by Japanese aunts, although she felt nauseous and retched for a while this morning, it was far from as bad as before, and she could still eat a small bowl of milk and a steamed stuffed bun.

It's just that the two food tonic prescriptions prescribed by the master of traditional Chinese medicine were too unpalatable, and she acted coquettishly for a while, and then ate them under Xiao Qi's coaxing, the stickiness of the young couple made Qiao Sansi angry for a while, Shaking his head, he went out to bring his granddaughter.

On the contrary, Yan Juhong was very satisfied with watching it. Her daughter's style is so charming that her son-in-law is really fascinated!

After dinner, Qiao Guo'er lay in Xiao Qi's arms and couldn't get up. The couple watched TV dramas in the small living room, and they didn't know what it was or where it started. But it's also fun to watch.

Qiao Guoer is very smart, she knows that her man is not a person who is afraid of things, and she has the same relationship with Niu Ruzheng as an uncle and nephew. It stands to reason that Niu Ruzheng asked him to do things. He would not be so put off and backed down.

But Xiao Qi was obviously unwilling to contribute, it was obvious that this matter must be thankless and easy to offend others.

"It's not very difficult." Xiao Qi explained to his wife: "He asked me to communicate with the people at Sanbarrel and China Aviation Oil about the recent oil trend. After all, I am not a member of the government. I haven’t set foot in the oil futures market anymore. If an outsider goes to teach them so ostentatiously, I’m afraid they won’t be grateful, but will make them feel uncomfortable.”

"I heard that Director Cao used to belong to PetroChina. Could it be that his direct descendants can still oppose you?" Qiao Guoer asked.

Director Cao is Cao Zhichong, the deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, the former chairman of PetroChina, and a staunch supporter of Xiao Qi.

If he was still in the position of PetroChina, Xiao Qi would not mind guiding them again, but now the boss of PetroChina has changed, although he can be regarded as Cao Zhichong's confidant. But he has been promoted to the boss of the largest oil company, saying that it is inappropriate to be a follower, and everyone has their own ideas.

Therefore, the relationship between Xiao Qi and PetroChina has weakened a lot in the past two years. Although the boss there will call to greet the New Year every year and holidays, he hardly talks about business matters.

If he wanted to have enough influence on CNPC again, he would probably have to wait until Jiang Dahai came back from Jiangnan and became the vice president or boss.

Hua Guodian is different here.

Although Kang Yuanjun left, Xiao Qi pushed Shuchuan's boss to the position of vice president of the group, and he held the real power. Coupled with Xiao Qi's investment in telecommunications optical fiber and base stations, as well as the cooperation of DreamStars and DreamSnow contract machines, which are closely tied with Huaguo Dentsu, the relationship between Xiao Qi and Huaguo Dentsu is still very close.

There are three barrels of oil. Except for the tens of billions of dollars of oil stored by Xiao Qi, there is no specific cooperation.

Although Xiao Qi saved three barrels of oil from the catastrophe of the plummeting oil price, he has no personal friendship, including the Liu family on the CNOOC side, who have only maintained ordinary contacts in the past two years.

"Things are not as easy as you think." Xiao Qi patted his wife's plump Meiqiu, "Eat and rest at home obediently. After I come back in the afternoon, let's take Shui'er for a walk outside."

"Okay~~"

Qiao Guo'er's eyes lit up, she hadn't gone out for a long time since the pregnancy reaction became severe, at most she just wandered around the manor.

To say that her personality is absolutely different from Huangfucai and Shen Wuyan, and she can't rest at all, but she is similar to Tang Mingxiang in this regard.

Sitting in the car going to the mansion, Xiao Qi closed his eyes and meditated, actually thinking about the nearest oil market.

The oil market in 2010 was actually in an upward trend.

From $80 at the beginning of the year, it plummeted all the way, and then rose sharply from $70 in mid-January. After reaching $90 in April, it suddenly fell to the bottom of around $63 in May.

Well, this is a fact that has already happened, Xiao Qi doesn't remember it so clearly.

He just remembers that after September, oil will continue to rise for a relatively long period of time, and by April and May next year, it will reach more than 110 US dollars.

But after that, the price of oil began to fall all the way, and it has remained oscillating between 60-90, and it has not changed until 2013.

The overall situation is like this. If Huaguo wants to operate it in detail, it is not a big problem, but if you want to start a large increase in inventory, it is completely unnecessary.

With the help of Xiao Qi, China National Petroleum and other four giants have stored a total of 500 billion US dollars of oil at a price of around 30 US dollars per barrel by March 2009, which is about 16.7 billion barrels.

Among them, there are those that are snapped up in the world crude oil market when the price is the lowest, as well as Russia’s oil worth 50 billion dollars, Iran’s oil worth 55 billion dollars, Syria’s oil worth 18 billion dollars, and Venezuela’s oil worth tens of billions of dollars. All are cheap.

The ratio of China's oil imports to its own production is generally 50-50, so if the oil is used normally, it will be enough for at least five or eight years.

But it is only natural for oil-poor countries to prepare for the future.

Although Huaguo has reached an agreement with Russia, the Anda-Dalian line has been re-surveyed and designed in full swing. It can be restarted this year at the earliest, and it can officially deliver oil to Huaguo in 2015 at the latest; although Huaguo has also set up Pakistan's Gwadar port plan, Myanmar pipeline plan, etc., but after all, there is enough inventory in hand, so that people will not panic.

According to Huaguo's plan and future oil demand, it is estimated that the oil inventory of 1 trillion US dollars cannot satisfy Huaguo.

That's why they are planning, whether to take advantage of the opportunity that the oil price has plummeted to between 60-70 US dollars to buy the bottom again.

But these people did not expect that their previous successes were basically due to Xiao Qi, and there was very little credit to them.

Before Xiao Qi appeared, Huaguo Petroleum Company bought when the price was the highest and sold when the price was the lowest.

Huaguo itself is not rich, and ordinary people can't understand how they go on and on like this. They feel that these people are too incompetent, but these people are thick-skinned after all, and they always make such and such excuses, and there is no other reason. The elite can replace them, so that's it.

Now Xiao Qi has managed to save a little foundation for Huaguo's oil, if they mess around, not only will he not be able to buy cheap oil, but it will be more likely to make the previous achievements go to waste.

It just so happened that Niu Ruzheng thought so too.

So after receiving these reports from the oil department, the first thing he thought of was Xiao Qi.

Xiao Qi's talent in oil futures is no longer doubted by anyone. If there is no Xiao Qi's opinion to make a foundation, to be honest, Niu Ruzheng would not be able to trust those subordinates.

In terms of success or failure, all the previous events are enough for Niu Ruzheng to see who is really talented.

That's why Xiao Qi was called in such a hurry, and he was going to open the door to discuss with the people in the oil department, and everyone discussed a practical and good way to come out.

The reason why Xiao Qi didn't want to go, apart from not having much friendship with the oil department, the biggest reason was his past life memory, and there was only a three-year quota.

After these three years, he doesn't know anything about oil futures. If people still pin their hopes on him, isn't he harming Huaguo's oil companies?

So let them get used to making their own decisions in advance, making their own decisions, and getting used to fighting in the oil futures market, that's what Xiao Qi hopes.

But Xiao Qi is not completely helpless.

After so many years of hard work in the business world, Xiao Qi has a clear understanding of the laws of the entire economic world.

Oil depends on the production of the entire economy, and there is a necessary connection between the two.

As long as you can understand the economic and financial problems, then the oil problem is not very big.

For example, when the economy develops, the demand will definitely increase, and the price of oil will naturally increase.

If there is a war somewhere, especially the powder magazine in the Middle East, then the price of oil will definitely not be lowered.

If the economy shrinks and there is no hope of a resurgence in sight, oil prices will surely remain low for a long time.

Etc., etc.

After understanding these factors that affect oil prices, Xiao Qi will give some opinions on the general direction, but it is not a big problem.
