Chapter 2830 Energy Outlet (Part 2)
The key to Iran's problem is the problem of nuclear weapons.
It is hard to say whether Iran has mastered the relevant technology, but the news that they are conducting experiments all day long makes the United States and Europe feel sad and uneasy.
Once Iran can become another nuclear-weapon state, the entire Middle East will be shrouded in their attack radius.
And if you look at the map, Iraq is on the left of Iran, Kuwait is in the lower left corner, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates are across the Arabian Sea, and Saudi Arabia is behind the two countries.
Originally, Iran was the hegemon in the region, and let them have the ultimate weapon. Would these oil-producing countries dare to fight against them?
After Iran has a strong influence, will the United States and Europe still count when they talk?
For this reason, the United States and Europe must firmly suppress Iran and prevent them from developing nuclear weapons.
But Iran ignores it, why do you want to interfere with us, don't you own it yourself?
Enemies are everywhere around me. If I don't have strong strength to defend myself, how can I live?
So Iran developed on its own, and then the United States and Europe saw that they were disobedient, and began a long-term suppression and embargo.
When life was good in the past, Iran was not bad, with oil exports that could be exchanged for foreign exchange to buy things.
But now Europe and the United States are having a hard time. Of course, they don't want to see Iran get better. So various suppressions followed, making Iran exhausted. After all, it was almost completely blocked last year.
If it weren't for the fact that they are a country where politics, religion, and politics are united, and the supreme leader has lofty prestige, Iran would have fallen into trouble long ago.
But it won't work in the long run.
For Iran, Xiao Qi doesn't know whether he is thinking about reconciling with the United States and stopping its own weapons research and development.
But in Xiao Qi's memory, after they lasted for another year, they expressed their concessions in a roundabout way, and only then did they get the lifting of the ban... at least the lifting of the ban on civilian supplies.
So now is the time to do a middleman to reconcile. It would never be said that he was hated by the Iranians.
In the past year, they have finally felt what it means to live like a year.
Residents' daily life products have increased by more than 70% in a year. What is this concept?
There is someone to make peace in the middle. The United States and Europe take a step back, and Iran takes a step back, which is already the best result.
I believe that their highest elder will also see this clearly.
At that time, Hua Guo will not only be Iran's grateful benefactor, but also gain more trust from the Iranians. It will also increase its influence in Central Asia.
At that time, there will be no problem with Iran's oil, and there will be no problem with Syria's oil. Huaguo's oil lifeline will at least have the most basic guarantee.
Therefore, Xiao Qicai told Niu Ruzheng to let Huaguo mediate.
Niu Ru is just a very smart person, he is the real person who is born with a big picture, otherwise it would be impossible to reach this step steadily.
Both he and Yu Chengsheng are in charge of the economy, Yu Chengsheng is in charge of more specific economic work, and Niu Ruzheng is in charge of economic work above the political level. The country's external economic work is also one of the aspects he is responsible for.
Therefore, Niu Ruzheng is very familiar with major international financial events, and he also knows the difficulties of Iran and the meaning of Europe and the United States.
But Niu Ruzheng did not expect that Xiao Qi would let Hua Guo directly intervene to mediate.
Thinking about it carefully, Niu Ruzheng felt that there was something interesting.
Before he knew it, he had put down the bowl and chopsticks, "Xiao Qi, please explain in more detail."
Xiao Qi nodded, said what he had thought before, and finally said: "Iran doesn't have many friends. Huaguo is one of them. And only Huaguo is qualified to mediate. Both Russia and the West It was very stiff, and others would not listen to what I said. Before Iran asked for help, we took the initiative to take over this task. This kind of favor is not insignificant.
Once the mediation is successful, not only will Huaguo's daily commodities be fully delivered to Iran, there will be one more dumping base, and the oil resources we need will be further increased. Don't forget, Iran now has more than half of the country's oil wells closed. The rest depended entirely on orders from Huaguo. And offshore oil wells are even more vacant. If we can buy more oil resources, it will be a good thing for them. "
Niu Ruzheng nodded.
Iran's oil resources are really enviable. Not only are there oil fields everywhere in the country, but the super large oil field in the sea that is shared with the United Arab Emirates is enough to develop for more than 50 years.
It is no exaggeration to say that Huaguo has Russia's underground oil pipeline and Iran's cruise ship transportation, basically there is no need to buy oil from other countries.
Well, in fact, these two countries are the two largest oil resource countries in the world.
Russia is not a good thing, but they have been blocked by the Western world for a long time. If they sell oil to China, it will also be a stable source of income for them, so basically there will be no major changes.
Compared with Russia, Iran is much more loyal. Once Hua Guo wins them over, then Hua Guo's oil security will be guaranteed to the greatest extent.
Besides, Iran's land is basically not suitable for farming, so their basic industries, daily product industry, and food industry are all very backward. The cheap goods and food from Huaguo are sold in the past. There is no such thing as dumping that causes their domestic base industries to collapse.
Iran has a population of 100 million. With such a large market and sufficient hard currency - oil, the merchants in China don't have to worry about whether they will make money or not!
"Iran is easy to talk about, but why do you let the United States let them go?" Niu Ruzheng asked again. He didn't mention the European Union, because the European Union is also the younger brother of the United States, and it has very little say in such matters.
"The first one is to let Iran give up public provocations, and secretly develop is the right way." Xiao Qi said, "Then China also has to win over Russia and put some pressure on the United States, otherwise they will really be lawless."
"Iranians are living so hard now, and they have learned the lesson... But what do you think about putting pressure on with Russia?" Niu Ruzheng frowned.
"It's very simple. How about we hold a joint naval military exercise in Sakhalin Island or the Sea of Japan?" Xiao Qi asked without thinking.
Niu Ruzheng took a deep breath, but as he pondered slowly, his eyes became brighter and brighter.
That's right!
It's the United Army. Show!
The United States and the European Union must be terrified when Huaguo and Russia pretend to be united.
One is the most populous country in the world, and the other is the second most powerful country in the world in terms of weapons. The two are united and dare not say that the United States will be brought down. At least Japan and South Korea are finished, and then Central Asia is also directly finished. Europe will also be directly wiped out...
These elite territories of mankind are covered by China and Russia. What's the use of the United States occupying the Americas alone? It is completely excluded from the mainstream of the world!
Of course, in fact, it is impossible for China and Russia to do that. The interests of the two countries are completely different.
But I can't stand the association of Europe and the United States.
Especially in Japan, they will definitely only be shaken by fright, desperately calling for help from the American father.
After brightening up his muscles like this, Hua Guo will go to talk to the United States about Iran's affairs. In addition, Iran itself will make concessions. It will be completely meaningless for the United States to hold on to Iran.
On the other hand, Huaguo's status and influence in East Asia, and even Southeast Asia's influence, will also increase a lot with this joint military exercise, which will play a very positive role in promoting Huaguo's operation in Southeast Asia.
"It's just that, what's the benefit of doing this to Russia?" Niu Ruzheng asked, "Even if the scale of a military exercise is a little smaller, it will cost billions or tens of billions of dollars, right? Russia doesn't have the money to toss Right? The point is that they are of no benefit, right?"
"Why is there no benefit?" Xiao Qi said, "First, Your Excellency the Tsar has been planning to expand Russia's military influence in the past two years, and deterring Japan in East Asia is one of them; The arm-wrestling person has the opportunity to give the United States the illusion of a Sino-Russian alliance, and let Huaguo help bear part of the pressure, why is he not happy?"
Niu Ruzheng nodded slightly, this is the responsibility that Huaguo needs to bear, but this is something that can't be helped. In this world, there will never be a business that only gets but doesn't pay.
"As for the question of money, it's even simpler." Xiao Qi said, "Oil prices have plummeted recently, and Russian oil is not easy to sell. If we place an order of 30 billion to 50 billion U.S. dollars for them, isn't this just sending them Is there any money? This is not free money, but we can also get a lot of oil storage! Buy it according to the market price, who do we buy it from?"
Niu Ruzheng unknowingly gave Xiao Qi a thumbs up, "No wonder people say that if you do business to a certain level, you can use the country as a stage. You are really good at doing this!"
According to Xiao Qi, Hua Guo not only did not suffer a loss, but instead took advantage of it—it also bought oil, gave favors to Russia, and could join military exercises to deter Japan and the United States, thereby helping Iran lift the ban!
Such a strategy of killing many birds with one stone is simply wonderful!
Thinking of this, Niu Ruzheng got up straight away and said, "Okay, I want to talk to Boss Bian and No. 1 about this, you go back!"
"Uncle Niu, don't you want to have a meeting with the oil department?" Xiao Qi asked in surprise.
"What else do you tell them? This matter is much more important than oil trading!" Niu Ruzheng waved his hand.
Indeed, this kind of thing that involves national strategy is of course much more important than doing business! ! (~^~)
