Chapter 2829 Energy Outlet (Part 1)
The traffic in the capital is notoriously congested. Xiao Qi took a car from the suburbs to the city center, starting at 10:00 in the morning, and spent more than two hours on the way, until 12:30, he arrived at the mansion.
Tang Quan had sent someone to wait at the door a long time ago, looking at the car with the license plate number, he quickly led Xiao Qi through the entry and exit procedures, and then took Xiao Qi directly to the cafeteria.
There are several cafeterias in the mansion, needless to say the things in them, anyway, ordinary people can’t eat them, but in the eyes of Xiao Qi who has eaten several meals, it’s just like that, and the ecological base of Fairy Farm Almost, but the price is indeed cheap.
A series of reforms for civil servants have been implemented in the past two years, and it is impossible for the canteen to be free of money, but the price of a bowl of beef noodles for 3 yuan, and a set meal of three meat and three vegetables for 5 yuan are also reasonable. very affordable.
What's more, there are some meal allowance policies, but in fact, it doesn't cost much.
Xiao Qi didn't eat in the big dining hall, but in the small private room.
The bigwigs in the mansion usually eat in small private rooms. Like the officials in various places, they are not hypocritical, but they eat outside, and the people below are not at ease.
After entering the private room, Xiao Qi only saw Niu Ruzheng alone, but the food was served, three meat, one vegetable and one soup, very simple.
"Uncle Niu, the traffic in this capital should be rectified again!" Xiao Qi was not polite, he sat down and ate with chopsticks, complaining while eating, "Look, I came from the reservoir, two An hour and a half! This is not peak traffic congestion! No wonder I heard that the capital is the city that spends the most commuting time on average."
"It's not that exaggerated, is it?" Niu Ruzheng also picked up the chopsticks and replied while eating.
"You will know when you go abroad. New York, Tokyo, London, which city has better traffic than the capital?" Xiao Qi added rice for himself, "For example, in Rongcheng, no matter the morning peak or evening peak, it is considered smooth. Yes. When you go down to take a look, you will definitely find it novel.”
"Are you trying to sell Rongcheng's congestion charge rules?" Niu Ruzheng said with a smile, "Comrade Xiao Xu submitted the report before the Chinese New Year, and we all read it. I think it is very good and practical. Regarding these plans implemented by Rongcheng City, the first The Metropolitan Transportation Commission is also actively studying and discussing, and strives to implement it within this year."
"That's right!" Xiao Qi said, "This kind of thinking should be implemented more in life. If you have money and want to enjoy more, then give him a chance to enjoy it. Anyway, they will not be stingy with this little money, instead of squandering it It’s better to use it to do something for the people. As for those who don’t want to pay, then obediently do things according to our rules. Save energy as much as possible.”
"You can't say that, it's for more people to travel smoothly." Niu Ruzheng corrected Xiao Qi's statement.
Not to mention the young man's nagging in secret, Niu Ruzheng continued, "I called you over this time, and a group of people from their oil department will be there this afternoon to listen to your opinion. How about it? Are you ready?"
"I'll just talk to you. I'm a businessman, and I discuss it with people from their government system. Isn't it awkward?" Xiao Qi raised his opinion like this.
"They still believe in you." Niu Ruzheng said.
"I'm afraid it's not because I'm convinced, but because I want someone to take the blame when something happens?" Xiao Qi shrugged. Mistakes, that is my misjudgment, which led to their losses, and they have no responsibility."
"As a person, you can't think of others better?" Niu Ruzheng frowned.
"Then can you assure me that they are not such people?" Xiao Qi also asked back.
Niu Ruzheng paused slightly, obviously he couldn't guarantee it. Because many officials are still like Xiao Qi said, afraid of taking responsibility for everything, as long as they are irresponsible, it doesn't matter how much they lose or fail.
thought about it. He stopped his chopsticks, "But for some things, if you don't stand up for capable people like you, the country will suffer more losses. I know your credit, and President Bian also knows it. The people can also feel it. "
"If I didn't want to contribute to the country's rise, I wouldn't have been involved in this oil futures in the first place." Xiao Qi laughed again, "However, as you know, my wives are pregnant again. My baby, if I calculate it this way, I will have at least thirty children. I will definitely spend less energy on business in the future, and I won’t pay too much attention to things like oil futures, which exhaust my mind.”
Niu Ruzheng couldn't help laughing, but he didn't make fun of Xiao Qi, but these dozens of wives and 20 or 30 children, in this world, except for local tyrants in the Middle East and African chiefs, probably few people in this world can have them.
"It's okay if you really don't want to discuss with them, but you can't hide your secrets." Niu Ruzheng said, "This matter is actually very important. Our Huaguo's oil purchase plan is long-term, and we can't just because of the previous victories , just want to keep the fruits of victory. No amount of oil is going to work for us.”
Just think about the population of 1.5 billion in China, and you will know how many resources need to be consumed.
Oil is the blood of industry, and derivatives are involved in every corner of life. Of course, the more the better.
Xiao Qi was overjoyed when he heard the words, and after eating and drinking for a while, he finished his lunch and began to talk about his thoughts.
"Uncle Niu, in fact, the oil market in the past two years has been far less volatile than in 2007 and 2008." Xiao Qi talked eloquently: "Although the price will fluctuate around 60-90, if you want to make a price difference, I I don't think it's necessary."
"Oil at this price is indeed a bit embarrassing." Niu Ruzheng knew oil well, and nodded upon hearing this.
Usually, when a country buys oil, it is not like a company or an investor. A few yuan or a dozen yuan is already the limit of profit and profit or loss.
The country does not buy oil for investment, but for use, so the price sensitivity is not high at all, usually as long as it maintains a reasonable price range.
And now the floating amount of about 30 US dollars is relatively large, but it is actually not that important when it involves other aspects such as shipping, refining, and use.
Xiao Qi continued: "So if the country wants to control a lot of oil, then the best way is to skip the purchase in the oil market and buy from the state instead."
"National purchase?" Niu Ruzheng was thinking, "You mean...Iran?"
Immediately he shook his head again, "This is impossible!"
Iran's current life is very difficult. Although it guards the world's largest offshore oil field, since the financial crisis, they have been beaten very badly by the United States in terms of finance and import and export. The year 2009 has been difficult.
He Huaguo's $55 billion oil purchase order has become their life-saving straw. It is only by relying on these orders that Iran can hold on. There is no domestic price that is soaring like in the previous life, and it is almost collapsed. situation.
But the United States is not a fool, and has been thinking about cleaning up Huaguo for a long time.
However, the order between Huaguo and Iran was made before, and all the money was paid. If you insist that Huaguo not buy oil, then it is purely torn face with Huaguo.
Huaguo is unwilling to offend the United States, but why is the United States willing to offend Huaguo? And is it the kind that offends to death?
However, this does not prevent some small tricks of the United States. Last year, a top five commercial bank in China, which had a large amount of business in Iran, was included in the scope of key monitoring by the United States, and the bank’s global liquidation business was rejected. The bank was very passive, and finally had to admit defeat and withdraw from the Iranian market.
Then the oil tanker industry in Huaguo was severely fined by the United States for various reasons for their business in the United States, with a fine of up to 500 million U.S. dollars.
Of course, these two things are nothing, but the United States is also a warning to Huaguo. If you play any tricks, be careful and I will really sanction you.
Huaguo didn't dare to take risks, so he didn't dare to have any business dealings with Iran in the short term, let alone buy oil again.
According to the current progress, Iran is desperately producing oil to make money, and it is estimated that it will be completed in the second half of 2010 at most. As for whether they will have other orders by then, Hua Guo does not know, but Hua Guo will not stand up to the wind again They bought it.
It's hard for Niu Ruzheng to think about being forced to do this by the United States, but this is also a reality. If you want to get rid of the shackles, you can only work harder.
That's why Niu Ruzheng is more active in wanting to control more oil resources so as not to be controlled by others.
"How is it impossible?" Xiao Qi laughed, "It's actually very simple. Iran can't hold on anymore. What they need now is a step. If Huaguo can do a good job in the middle, it will ease all kinds of confrontational incidents." If they communicate with each other, then the United States will not be so stubborn. After all, don’t look at them making a big fuss, but if you want to do Iran, you will tear your face with Russia. How can the United States do such a stupid thing because they are arrogant and expensive?”
This was actually the case in the United States in the previous life.
They yelled and killed so many countries, and they were like a shit stick in the Middle East, but they never thought of Iran.
Supporting forces, such as Iraqi Boss Sa going to attack Iran, there are, but Iraq is still weaker than Iran, and the United States has not succeeded.
It’s not that they don’t want to end the game. The key point is that if they get Iran right, then the entire southwestern abdomen of Russia will be completely exposed to NATO’s encirclement. How could Russia allow it?
Considering that a war with Iran means dragging Russia into the water, then the Third World War will officially begin.
Therefore, the United States is only sanctioning and suppressing, and it has never meant to be serious. (~^~)
