Chapter 1968: Sino-Russian Oil and Gas Pipeline
"By the way, Feng, the oil and gas pipeline between our two countries will be officially completed in two days. I was also invited to attend the completion ceremony. Have you been invited?" Kirilenko asked casually remembering this incident.
China and Russia have been negotiating for a long time to establish this long-term and stable cooperation method. Huaxia has already cooperated with many countries in this way. Oil and natural gas belong to Huaxia's strategic energy channel.
Huaxia has a large population and is a country that consumes a lot of energy. At present, the growth rate of oil and natural gas consumption in China is leading the world. The speed of oil consumption can be reflected in the growth of Huaxia's automobiles.
In the previous life, this cooperation agreement was officially signed only 12 years ago. For a total of 20 years, 1,500 tons of oil and 38 billion cubic meters of natural gas per year. The cost of the pipeline alone exceeded 60 billion euros.
China has also established oil and gas pipelines with Myanmar, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and other countries, which are also China's strategic energy channels.
Including sea transportation channels, cooperation with countries such as Africa and the Middle East to ensure domestic energy consumption.
It is also these strategic deployments that allow Huaxia to have enough energy and reduce coal and other more polluting energy sources. It also prohibits the burning of some traditional fuels such as wood and straw to protect the environment.
Many people say that Huaxia's oil is expensive, but they don't know how much oil costs just for transportation?
Does Huaxia have oil fields? have. Is it abundant? It's not too good, but it's not bad. There are still many explorations that have been explored but not yet exploited. Even shale oil, Huaxia has abundant reserves and relatively mature technology.
However, Huaxia is now learning from other countries, and does not exploit its own energy, but keeps it for price regulation. Now that you have money, you can import it. When the price of imports is too high, you can mine some yourself to force the other party to lower the price.
Huaxia is about to become the world's largest energy importer. Once Huaxia says it can't import, then the other party will definitely lower the price, otherwise the other party's energy cannot be sold. Isn't that reducing income?
Large exporting countries can control product prices, as can large importing countries, as long as they can meet the demand for non-importation.
This Sino-Russian oil and gas pipeline was actually facilitated by Feng Yu and Kirilenko. China has developed rapidly in the past few years, its income has increased rapidly year after year, people's living standards have also greatly improved, and its demand for energy is also increasing.
Russia was rich in the former Soviet Union, but then it was poor and bankrupt. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Russia has never recovered its living standards.
Russia's pillar industries are industry and mining, and they rely on these to make money. What other countries can engage in real estate, finance, etc., Russia can't handle it.
The land is sparsely populated, and houses cannot be sold at high prices. People lack trust in government and finance, and finance cannot be revitalized.
As for science and technology, the former Soviet Union had the world's top scientists and engineers, but when the Soviet Union disintegrated, most of them were poached by foreign countries, including China.
Of course, because of Kirilenko, a little butterfly, Russia still retains many top talents, but Russia's development path is not much different from the previous life.
On the contrary, Russia is also working hard to revitalize agriculture and trade, but unfortunately the development is very mediocre. In places like Russia, although it is said that there is a lot of land, the climate is not very good, and it is too far north.
They are by the sea, but the route is not very good. Fortunately, there are European railways, so that they can have more choices in transportation lines.
It is said that the country is poor, so we can not do so well in some basic welfare, use it for a period of time to accumulate accumulation, and slowly develop well.
However, Russia has never given up on this point, and its welfare benefits are still aimed at the standards of developed countries, which makes Russia's fiscal deficit often occur.
In a country with such a strong industrial technology, minerals are the largest income. A truly developed country will not use such low value-added raw materials as its main income.
Even in the Middle East, they are working hard to develop the crude oil chemical industry.
On the surface, Russia has reduced its military spending, but in fact it is still making huge investments, but they make a lot of investments, but they can't make much money.
Now that the era of peace is approaching, the arms dealers in the United States have all gone bankrupt, but the bankrupts are mainly those who produce guns, and those who make aircraft, missiles, and ships are still making a lot of money.
In this regard, the island countries and South Korea are actually the best in the world. Combining civilian and military use, while improving military technology, it is popular in civilian use and earns a lot of profits.
Under such circumstances, Russia really needs a long-term and stable cooperation order. It just so happens that Huaxia is a big importer of minerals, so it hit it off with Huaxia.
It's just that the cooperation between the two parties has also experienced many twists and turns. For example, Huaxia said that you sold us oil and gas, so should you build this oil and gas pipeline?
But Russia said, what you want to buy, you should invest in this. In Myanmar and other countries, aren't you building it?
Can Myanmar be the same as Russia? If Myanmar dares to swallow these pipes, Huaxia can make him spit out more. If Russia really swallows it up as a rogue, will Huaxia still go to war with Russia?
So it is finally agreed, in whose territory, who is responsible for the construction. At this time Russia said again, we have no money, what to build?
Russia has money, but not enough to spend. In the end, it was Feng Yu who proposed a plan, which was adopted by Huaxia in his previous life after cooperating with other countries, to provide a low-interest loan.
The so-called low-interest loans are basically loans that can only guarantee capital, and the interest is roughly equivalent to the depreciation caused by inflation, and they do not make money at all.
But it is still very cost-effective to be able to exchange for the conclusion of this agreement to ensure China's stable energy demand.
In the future, Huaxia will cooperate with many countries in the Middle East and Africa using this plan. Huaxia is not short of money now, and it is easy to borrow tens of billions of dollars casually.
In this cooperation, not only the Russian state-owned enterprises participated, but also the Polar Bear Mining Group. Moreover, the construction of pipelines in Russia was invested by the Polar Bear Mining Group.
So Kirilenko was invited to attend the completion ceremony, and Feng Yu, who was responsible for this event, should also be invited, not to mention that Feng Yu is the major shareholder of Polar Bear Mining Group, so it is normal to attend.
But Feng Yu told Kirilenko that he would not be present and had no interest in this matter. He just made this win-win situation come earlier, but according to Feng Yu's guess, if Russia does not cut public spending, then once Russia is sanctioned by Western countries, it will fall into the same economic recession as in the previous life.
"Brother Ji, if you are interested, invest in more food companies. You Russia is too dependent on imports. If you do it, you will definitely make a lot of money."
The reminder has already been reminded. As for whether Kirilenko understands, Feng Yu will not say more, anyway, Russia is not his motherland.
