"Boom, this, it seems that Huaguo Petroleum has been in contact with them, right?"

"Well, there is contact, but there has not been much oil imported from there, and now we have a large amount of goods in our hands, this is the salary they give us, and it is difficult for us to do it......"

When Liu Jin said this, Xiao Feng understood that the emotional commission is now paying off debts in kind.

Previously, this country was also quite cunning, saying that if you owe China $50 billion, don't ask for it, I will pay you a debt on one of our islands.

But don't you see, where is that island?

It's really not authentic to be under the nose of the United States, and to let Huaguo take the fire for them.

Now Mao Xiong is involved, in order to help President President Ma maintain stability, many contractors have been sent over, but the problem is that Mao Xiong's support is not unlimited.

The contractors sent also had to eat meat, and it was impossible for the woolly bear to pay out of his own pocket.

But President Ma had the money to support such a group of uncles, but he couldn't do it if he didn't, and finally came up with a way to use oil to pay his wages.

If it had been a few years ago, it would have been a good idea, close to that time when oil prices were high.

But now that the United States has become an oil exporter, global oil prices have not been high, and President President Ma has used it to pay off debts, which makes Mao Xiong a little unbearable.

In the past, when oil prices were high, some poor countries didn't care too much, as long as the price was cheap and they could drive, they would buy it.

But now that the price of oil is so cheap, who will buy your poor quality oil.

Even the big countries that lack oil, China does not look down on the oil of Venezuela.

After entering the Copper Country, especially after taking the Ithaca region and the Calapague Islands, Xiao Feng also pondered about doing oil business.

After all, this place is very close to Venezuela, which is one of the few oil-rich countries on the South American continent, and the reserves are still very large, so he pondered.

Doing oil business here should be very interesting.

But who would have thought that after studying and understanding the oil situation in Venezuela, he would break this idea.

Speaking of Venezuela's oil fields, they have also been exploited for nearly 100 years.

It was exploited at the beginning of the last century, when the oil giants of the United States shifted their attention to the Gulf of Mexico after dividing up the domestic oil fields.

First went to Mexico to build a lot of oil fields, then set his sights on South American countries on the Caribbean coast, and finally found abundant oil fields in Venezuela.

Then those oil giants divided up these oil fields through various means.

It wasn't until later that Venezuela came up with a strongman, Cha, who drove out all those foreign oil companies, nationalized all the oil fields, and put them under the name of Venezuelan oil company PDVSA.

At that time, Cha's reputation was soaring, and at that time, the international oil price was high, and Venezuela's oil was not worried about exporting at all.

So during that time, the lives of the ordinary people of Venezuela were very happy and rich.

And Cha's use of such a tough hand is to let the people of Venezuela live a good life, but it offends those oil giants in Europe and the United States.

They have been comfortably lying on the oil fields of Venezuela for nearly a hundred years, and how can they be happy if you drive them away at this time?

Therefore, since then, European and American countries have adopted a hostile attitude towards Venezuela, and even sanctioned Venezuela internationally for a time.

However, because of the strong support of China at that time, Venezuela's life has always been good.

It was not until President Cha died of illness that President President Ma took over the baton that the situation began to deteriorate.

It is also the bad luck of this Mr. Ma, who also wanted to continue to follow the route of investigating the president when he came to power.

But who would have thought that at this time, the United States had made a huge breakthrough in shale gas technology.

It used to be the world's largest oil importer, but it suddenly became an oil exporter.

All the oil-exporting countries in the world not only have one less huge oil market, but also one more powerful competitor.

Coupled with the fact that they still controlled Iraq, and with the manipulation of petrodollars, oil prices soon fell to their lowest point in two decades.

In this way, Venezuela's life will not be easy.

Previously, Venezuela's oil had been very cheap because the quality of their oil was so poor.

When Venezuela first discovered oil fields in the last century, the oil they produced was of extremely high quality, but after being exploited by many oil companies in Europe and the United States for decades, their high-quality oil resources had already been exhausted.

What is now left of the oil reserves is not so much oil as highly viscous asphalt.

Compared with Saudi Arabia's light crude oil that drills wells and spews out oil on its own, it is simply 108,000 miles behind.

The cost of refining such heavy oil into light crude oil is very high, and a large amount of exhaust gas is generated in the process.

Even a warship that can eat coarse grains is helpless when it encounters such heavy oil, and at present, the 'Varyag' ships in China are still using this kind of heavy oil.

However, before use, it is also necessary to break up the oil with a high-pressure pump and inject it into an oil-fired boiler for combustion, otherwise it will not burn at all......

Such oil, you say that love to use?

Is it bad for people to import light fuel oil that can be burned directly from Saudi Arabia?

Now that Liukin is getting rid of it, Xiao Feng helps him get this thing done, and Xiao Feng also has a headache!

"Liukin, wasn't Venezuela's oil the exclusive agent of ROSNEFT?"

"Huh, do you know about this company?"

Liukin glanced at Xiao Feng, and Xiao Feng smiled.

What are you kidding, if he wants to do Venezuela's oil business, he not only studied Venezuela's oil fields and oil quality issues, but also studied several major players.

Before Venezuela was sanctioned by the United States, Venezuela's oil was basically sold to Huaguo Petroleum, and the companies Chevron, Reliance in India, and Aini in Italy.

Because Venezuela itself does not have heavy oil treatment technology, it is all thrown to these companies at low prices.

Chevron and Aini basically refine heavy oil and resell it to other South American countries, which are cheap anyway and South American countries like it.

Reliance and Huaguo Petroleum are pulling the oil back for their own use.

But later, because of the fall in international oil prices, the Venezuelan economy collapsed, and President President Ma's position was unstable, and the United States wanted to take the opportunity to overthrow him, but in the end things were stirred up by Russia.

As a result, the United States imposed the most severe economic sanctions on Venezuela.

Chevron, Aini, and Reliance didn't dare to play with Venezuela's PDVSA, and Venezuela's oil had no market, so it was even more predicament.

On the Huaguo side, because it can purchase high-quality fuel from Persia and Saudi Arabia, it doesn't pay much attention to the oil here.

It's just a small batch of purchases every year, but this is not enough to live in the country.

So they entrusted the work of oil sales to ROSNEFT of Mao Xiong Guo to come as an agent, after all, the only companies in the world that are not afraid of sanctions from the United States are Mao Xiong and Huaguo.

But now ROSNEFT is also having a headache for Venezuela's oil sales, because the quality of Venezuela's oil is too poor.

Moreover, it is too far away from the main oil consumption markets, China and India, and the cost of shipping it is a large amount, plus the later refining, the cost has increased.

In this way, who is willing to buy a large amount of heavy oil from Venezuela?

That is, because they have always had some arms sales with South Vietnam and India, these two countries can still sell them a little face and buy some heavy oil from Venezuela.

Most of the heavy oil saved, they can't sell it at all.

CAN'T EVEN SELL THE OIL IN ROSNEFT'S HANDS, LET ALONE LIUKIN'S SIDE?

This oil is indeed not easy to sell, but Xiao Feng rolled his eyes, but he immediately had an idea.

Hua doesn't need it, but his Karapague Islands need a lot of it!

Not only oil, but also asphalt, which is needed in large quantities.

Because there are more than 100 islands on the Kalapag archipelago, he is now engaged in large-scale island farming on the island, so he has to do a lot of infrastructure work on the island.

Building a house and paving a road requires a large number of construction machinery, which needs to burn oil.

And the quality of these mechanical oils does not need to be too high.

In addition, because the Kalapag Islands are located in the center of the ocean, they have a rainy season of six to eight months a year, and the annual rainfall is quite amazing.

Therefore, whether it is a road or a house, a lot of rainproof infrastructure is needed, so a lot of asphalt needs to be used.

Thinking about it this way, the oil of some higher Venezuelan countries can just meet the demand.

In addition, before those wind power and solar power plants are fully built, the power supply in their area is mainly dependent on thermal power.

And there is no natural gas to burn in their vicinity, and if the heavy oil is cheap, then it is better to burn the oil directly.

In his design, the future Calaprague archipelago will be home to three million people, who will also need to use a lot of petroleum energy.

Then there's the Ithaca area, which is now a big market.

Thinking of this, Xiao Feng smiled and said to Liujin: "In this way, you get a batch first, and I'll try to see if there is a market in other places." ”

Liujin, who was about to lose his hair for those oils, was overjoyed when he heard that Xiao Feng really had a way to solve it.

"Really? That's great. Rest assured, as long as you can solve it, we have this heavy oil refining technology. ”

"Really?"

This time it was Xiao Feng's turn to be happy, this heavy oil diluted and refined light fuel oil, but it has been a problem that has plagued many of the world's major oil manufacturers.

There are also a few factories in China that can do refining, but the cost has been high.

Xiao Feng forgot that Mao Xiong is also a petrochemical powerhouse, and if they can provide a solution, it will naturally be great.

"Don't worry, I've heard those technical engineers talk about it, and they have a way to solve it. Now we have two oil tankers, and we are in Venezuela. Where's the oil, you say?"

"Ithaca's port in the Copper Country, let's send it there first. But I can say well, we are not responsible for the shipping costs. ”
