Chapter 1238 Explain!
"I heard that Huaneng Nuclear Power Technology Group is not very interested in the project of building a thorium-based molten salt reactor nuclear power plant in Bolivarian this time, is there such a thing?"
After the meeting ended, Song Xinyang left Yang Jie behind, and he asked.
"Chief Song, that's exactly what I meant. ”
Yang Jie opened his mouth and said.
"The central side has agreed to President Chávez's request, and today I would like to hear your reasons as well. Song Xinyang also lit a cigarette for himself at this time and smoked it.
"Chief Song, to be honest, I am not very optimistic about the current situation in Bolivar, and it is very difficult for us to recoup the cost of investing in the construction of a nuclear power plant in this country. ”
"Tell me your judgment. ”
"This is not my personal judgment, our Huaxing Technology Group Company has also conducted various investigations in Bolivar over the years, and also has a relatively clear understanding of this country, according to the information we have obtained, the current economic situation in Bolivar can be said to be very bad. ”
Yang Jie said: "The current Bolivarian domestic President Chávez's approach has no future, according to his approach, sooner or later this country will be bankrupt by him, our investment in the construction of a nuclear power plant is a very large investment, at least one or two decades of the country's situation to make a prediction, we have come to the result that this investment is not guaranteed, the risk is too great." ”
"Now the electricity bill in Bolivar is completely free, that is, President Chávez's government pays, before this we must investigate the financial situation of the Bolivarian government, as the country with the largest oil reserves in the world, Bolivar is still enjoying the huge wealth brought by oil, Chávez in order to consolidate his regime, please the people of Bolivar, the implementation of free education, free medical care and a series of high welfare benefits, but the backward equipment of Bolivarian domestic oil enterprises, refining technology has turned a blind eye, until now it is still the technical equipment of the seventies and eighties of the last century, and now the oil production is still declining。 ”
"Moreover, Bolivar's oil companies can refine low-quality oil, and only refineries in Europe and the United States can refine Bolivar's crude oil into refined oil. ”
Yang continued: "Bolivar's crude oil is heavy and has a high sulphur content, the extracted oil has to be sent to specialized refineries for refining, and many of Bolivar's oil fields are old and require a lot of investment to stabilize existing production. Heavy oil costs more than $15 per barrel and is sold very cheaply, now a barrel of heavy oil costs $27, while the cost of bolivar extraction is $20, it can only make $7 a barrel of oil, and after deducting the wages of workers, transportation costs and other expenses, it does not make much money at all. ”
"Heavy oil is very cumbersome to process, it can only extract a small amount of diesel and gasoline on its own, and the rest is bitumen and heavy oil. Heavy oil is mainly used to generate electricity, large ships also use it to power, our domestic research and development of heavy oil deep processing technology is not very sufficient, the use is not large, so there are not many countries that buy this oil. Unless international oil prices soar to more than $100 and countries and regions that buy oil feel pressured, they will choose to buy Bolivar's heavy oil. ”
Yang Jie said: "Our country has imported oil from Bolivar over the years, and basically Bolivar has used oil to pay off its debts, let alone make money, and it will burn high incense if it can keep the cost." ”
Song Xinyang nodded: "Yes, I also know the situation you said, a lot of infrastructure construction is being carried out in China, and the asphalt refined from imported heavy oil can be used, and heavy oil is really difficult to deal with." Therefore, our domestic companies are now also moving to natural gas development. ”
In the past, a large number of domestic ships also needed heavy oil as power, but now the new domestic ship fuel cell power has become the mainstream, and the use of heavy oil in China is not much.
"In recent years, we have vigorously developed hydrogen energy in our country, domestic oil imports have decreased significantly, international oil prices have fluctuated little, Bolivar has had a hard time in recent years, and now the country is now in trouble with even the most basic agriculture, plus this country does not even have the necessities of people's lives, as long as the oil price falls below $50 one day, the country will definitely break out a serious economic crisis, and the country will go bankrupt in a few years. ”
Song Xinyang's expression was also a little dignified, "You tell me specifically." ”
"Let's start with agriculture," Yang Jie said: "According to what we know, after President Chávez came to power, Bolivar's food self-sufficiency rate has fallen from 70% to 30% now, due to poor management, lack of funds and lack of materials, the output of all Bolivarian agricultural products is decreasing, the output of rice, corn and coffee has decreased by 60%, almost all sugar factories have fallen into the predicament of paralysis or insufficient operation, and now Bolivarian is on the verge of agricultural collapse." ”
"This President Chávez and his officials are clearly not going to govern their country, and they are constantly strengthening autocracy and spending, printing money, and now they are starting to cause prices to skyrocket in Bolivar. ”
Bolívar over-promoted a "planned economy" and had a rigid system. This manifested itself not only in the management of the oil industry, but also in agriculture.
Since the Chávez era, Bolívar has pursued large-scale mergers and acquisitions of food companies and the expropriation of arable land.
Bolívar even went so far as to think that importing was more cost-effective than cultivating it himself, expropriating at least 45 million acres of arable land.
As a result of this thinking, Bolívar is now a country that imports even a lot of food, and it is only a matter of time before the country's basic agriculture collapses as soon as the price of oil plummets.
"To put it mildly, the current Bolivar is sitting on a bomb that can be detonated at any time, and the president and his men have no ability to dismantle these fuses, maybe one day they will explode, and the whole country will go bankrupt. ”
Yang Jie said: "Therefore, we are very cautious about the business of Huaxing Technology Group in Bolivar. ”
He paused and said: "Chief Song, hasn't the Bolivar side recently been discussing a framework agreement on financing cooperation with our country, and I still suggest that our side be more cautious and not borrow too much money from the Bolivar. ”
