Chapter 1149: Oil Crisis?

"I really don't know if the way of the world has changed, or if Yeltsin is crazy!" Dean Zhu complained rarely.

Really, if he doesn't complain now, his mood is definitely difficult to calm down.

This is probably the so-called cub selling the field, and the cub is not distressed.

To be honest, if he was in a different position, even if Fang Chen was from Huaxia, he probably wouldn't dare to hand over 35% of Huaxia's oil and gas resources, including any other natural resources, to Fang Chen.

It's not that he's reluctant, and it's not that he doesn't believe Fang Chen, but he doesn't dare, he can't.

This kind of handing over one-third of the country's oil and gas resources to one person is a great crime from a system point of view, and a crime against the country is not a good thing for Fang Chen personally.

But immediately, Dean Zhu looked at Fang Chen with a somewhat complicated expression.

After a few breaths, he said faintly: "Although I am a staunch atheist, but after meeting your kid, I always feel that there is a god behind your kid, otherwise how could it be so coincidental, it's just a coincidence that his mother met a coincidence - coincidence on coincidence." ”

Belch......

Fang Chen was stunned for a moment, there was a feeling of clouds and mountains and fog, and he didn't know what to do, where did Dean Zhu start with this?

After pondering for a while, without waiting for Fang Chen to ask, Dean Zhu asked directly, "Do you know the oil situation in our country?"

Fang Chen raised his eyebrows, he seemed to have figured out a little taste, but as soon as he thought about it, he blinked his eyes, and still pretended not to know anything and said: "The oil situation? I don't know, how can I care about this." ”

Seeing this, Dean Zhu couldn't help but glance at Fang Chen, he was not a fool, but he still had a pair of fiery eyes that read countless people, how could he not know that Fang Chen was pretending to be stupid.

And seriously, what he didn't know was why Fang Chen had so many ghost thoughts at such a young age.

But after thinking about it, it became clear to him, if Fang Chen didn't have these peculiarities, I am afraid it would be even more impossible to create such a miracle and create such a huge foundation.

Just like now, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes and killed him, he wouldn't have believed that in just three months, a world's largest oil company with oil reserves equivalent to that of the United States has appeared in front of the world, and Fang Chen has changed from an entrepreneur in the field of technology and trade to a so-called oil tycoon.

And Fang Chen, an oil tycoon, is also the world's No. 1.

Thinking of this, Dean Zhu suddenly felt that he seemed to be even more lazy to worry about Fang Chen, and even felt that pretending to be stupid and stunned might not be the highlight of Fang Chen's character.

And even according to common sense, an old man like him should be more tolerant of a young man like Fang Chen, not to mention that Fang Chen is still so good, it seems that he should be even more tolerant.

Coughing, Dean Zhu said directly: "Do you know how grim the oil situation in our country is? It is expected that by next year at the latest, as early as this year, we will change from a net oil exporter to a net oil importer, which means that the risk of us being stuck in the neck will increase exponentially, and the supply of our industrial blood will be insufficient at any time, and there will even be a risk of being cut off by others." ”

Fang Chen blinked his eyes, sure enough, what he thought was right, Dean Zhu, no, the whole Huaxia has actually had oil worries.

Seriously, Fang Chen really had a feeling of trance at this time, when was Huaxia actually an oil exporter, and it also exported a large amount of oil every year, this feeling was really amazing.

In fact, in comparison, Fang Chen, a person from later generations, has a stronger oil concern than Dean Zhu.

After all, for Dean Zhu, the shortage of oil in China is only a possibility that may arise in the future, and this gap may only be 5%, 10%, 15%, etc., a small shortage.

In other words, as long as we work hard to increase production and save a part, we can make up for this shortfall, so this sorrow is not very strong.

And for people like Fang Chen in later generations, Huaxia's lack of oil is a real thing that needs to be faced.

In addition to a variety of gasoline, diesel, kerosene and other fuels, oil is also a raw material for many chemical industry products, such as solutions, fertilizers, pesticides and plastics, and its importance is self-evident.

It can be said that there is almost nothing more important in modern society than oil, otherwise there would not be so many wars over oil.

In China, oil is the second largest import after chips, with an annual import value of up to $250 billion.

And you must know that although there are many imports of chips, it is also because with the rise of smartphones in recent years, Huaxia has produced about 80% of the world's mobile phones, so there are many of them. And oil, if Fang Chen remembers correctly, I don't know how many years it has occupied the first place in imported goods.

Moreover, Huaxia still has not weak chip research and development, production, packaging and testing capabilities, even if it is completely blocked and sanctioned by the United States, we will not face no cores available, at most it is two or three generations behind, people use 7nm, we use 14nm, although it is not easy to use, but it is not fatal.

But oil is different, if it's gone, it's gone, although there is coal-to-oil technology, but after all, it's not easy to use, and the consumption is too great.

Every year, China produces 190 million tons of crude oil and imports more than 500 million tons, which means that our oil self-sufficiency rate is only 30%.

This 30% of the oil will only be supplied to buses, ambulances, fire trucks, communication and power grid repair vehicles, and even a large number of military vehicles and military aircraft, etc., and private cars will have no fuel to refuel, and can only be abandoned in large quantities in residential areas, on both sides of roads, and in the wild.

This situation is probably unimaginable for President Zhu, after all, since the iron man Wang Jinxi drilled the first oil well from Daqing, Huaxia's oil self-sufficiency rate has basically been maintained at 100%, and there is still a large amount of oil that can be used for export.

Moreover, the current automobile market in China only sells hundreds of thousands of passenger cars a year, and the number of passenger cars is only two or three million.

In later generations, Huaxia produced as many as 28 million passenger cars a year, more than 10 times the number it has now.

If you count the number of cars, it is as high as 270 million, and according to this number, it basically means that every two Chinese families have one car, 8090

With so many cars running on the road, if you say anything about fuel consumption, it is estimated that it can scare Dean Zhu to death.

didn't notice it, Fang Chen's eyes suddenly showed a hint of pride and pride that came from nowhere, or rather, he noticed it, but he didn't bother to deal with Fang Chen, Dean Zhu continued to say to Fang Chen: "In the past four years, China's oil imports, including crude oil and refined oil, have increased almost every year, while exports have been declining year after year. ”

"This year, China's crude oil imports are expected to reach 15.65 million tons, an increase of 4.3 million tons over last year, an increase of 37.8%, and an increase of 380% compared with four years ago. Crude oil imports reached $2.3 billion, up 34.7 percent from last year and five times more than four years ago. ”

"At the same time, crude oil exports fell from about $2.8 billion four years ago and last year to an estimated $2.4 billion this year, and crude oil exports fell to 19.4 million tons from 24.4 million tons four years ago. ”

"However, what is more ferocious is the growth of refined oil imports, which are expected to increase from 7.7 million tons last year to 17.4 million tons, an increase of 127%, while refined oil exports have fallen from six million tons last year to 3.7 million tons this year, a drop of up to 80%. ”

These data seem to have been pressed in Dean Zhu's heart for a long time, and Dean Zhu didn't even read the documents, and reported them straightforwardly.

Hearing this, Fang Chen was a little stunned, and he suddenly understood why Dean Zhu was so worried, the crude oil import volume of 2.3 billion US dollars was indeed not much, less than one percent of the 250 billion US dollars in later generations.

But if you just listen to this data, what is a year between the import of refined oil increased by 127%, exports fell by 80%, the import of crude oil increased fivefold in four years, and the import volume increased by 380%, there is indeed a feeling that the heart is scared out, and the speed of the increase and decline is inevitably too fierce.

"Before last year, China's crude oil import sources were mainly in the Asia-Pacific region, Indonesia, Malaysia and other Asia-Pacific countries and regions produced crude oil accounted for 50% ~ 60% of the imports, and the rest of the vast majority of the Middle East crude oil. This year, the structure of imported crude oil has changed significantly, and the proportion of crude oil in the Middle East has exceeded that of crude oil produced in the Asia-Pacific region. ”

"In fact, since the outbreak of the Gulf conflict, especially since a large amount of Middle Eastern oil has been imported into the country, our oil security has been increasingly strongly threatened. ”

Speaking of this, Dean Zhu's brows couldn't help frowning, and Fang Chen couldn't help but knock on his head, his skull hurt, his skull hurt.

It's okay to import oil from Southeast Asia, after all, it's closer to our doorstep, and if something really happens, what else can we do.

And if you import Middle Eastern oil, not to mention that Middle Eastern oil is almost under the control of the United States now, let's just say that if the United States blocks the Strait of Malacca, then China's oil imports will be blinded in an instant, and Huaxia's neck will be tightly choked.

After all, China's weak navy obviously does not have the strength to defend China's rights and interests in Malacca.

But it doesn't seem realistic not to import Middle Eastern oil, after all, they produce more oil.

"In fact, Middle East oil is not suitable for China's national conditions, the sulfur content of Middle East oil has always been relatively high, and it is not suitable for China's refinery processing according to the design of low-sulfur crude oil, but as we are expected to import more Middle East oil than Southeast Asia, the share has risen from the original 40% to 50%, or even more than 60%, becoming our largest source of oil, we have to carry out technical transformation of the refining units of those refineries along the coast. Dean Zhu said helplessly.

The technical transformation of this refinery undoubtedly costs money, and it still costs a lot of money, and it still costs foreign exchange.

The thought of spending foreign exchange makes his head big.

"Then let's export less refined oil, by the way, our refined oil is generally exported to those countries?" Fang Chen asked curiously.

The export of refined oil has really touched Fang Chen's knowledge blind spot, after all, in his memory, there is only imported oil from Huaxia, and there is no share of China's exported oil.

"Most of the oil we export is destined for use as fuel for power generation. Although the total volume of our oil exports has been declining year after year, the volume of exports to Dongwei has not decreased, and has remained at 12.5 million tons every year, accounting for half of the total exports to two-thirds. ”

"In addition, 2.78 million tons and 1.6 million tons of oil were exported to the United States and South Korea, accounting for 14.3% and 8.3% of the total exports, and about one million tons were exported to North Korea, and if there was any left, it would be shipped to the Singapore spot oil market for sale, but obviously there was no remaining oil to sell to Singapore in the past two years. Dean Zhu said helplessly.

In fact, oil exports have always been a major source of foreign exchange for China, but now we see that China's own oil is not enough, and it still needs to import a large amount of oil from abroad, that is, oil has changed from earning foreign exchange to losing foreign exchange.

Then this one is a positive one, that is twice the loss.

Moreover, the change in the nature of oil has made it even worse for China's already small source of foreign exchange, and has dealt a painful blow, how can Dean Zhu not be melancholy.

"Since we don't have enough oil, won't we get it if we don't export it to them?" Fang Chen asked.

But in the end, what he ushered in was Dean Zhu's appearance like a fool.

Fang Chen smiled wryly, but still said uncertainly, "Am I wrong about what I said?"

For people like him in later generations, it is simply too politically correct not to export oil, after all, the oil gap in China is too big, and he is not enough, so why export abroad.

And if Dean Zhu hadn't told him, then he really didn't know that Huaxia actually exported so much oil to Dongyu, the United States, and North and South Korea every year.

In his impression, the United States, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, has not always allowed Iran to sell oil to China, but as a result, he himself exports to China, and his exports are fiercer than anyone else's.

Since the shale oil revolution, the United States has not only been able to supply the huge consumption of a quarter of the world, but it has also been able to export a large number of countries.

In contrast, China has always been a poor oil-poor country.

Now Dean Zhu told him that Huaxia exports a large amount of oil to the United States every year, how could he not have a sense of déjà vu for the cat to pay New Year's greetings to the cat.

Even if it weren't, at least it was a poor peasant carrying two liters of wheat to the landlord for New Year's greetings.

"How can you do it without exporting, and if you don't say that you can earn foreign exchange by exporting, you just talk about exporting to Dongwei. Do you think that the economic aid and interest-free loans that Dongwa gives us every year, especially some Dongwei enterprises that have gone to China to build factories, do you think we don't have to pay the slightest price? If we don't export oil to Dongwei, then these things will no longer exist, or at least they will have to be discounted in half. ”

Dean Zhu shook his head and said slowly.
