A few people entered the direct elevator, and Prince Fahd extended another invitation: "Bramble, Miss Maiting, let's go to my box together?" Sorry, I still have to meet up with a few old friends, and we will talk later?"

Before the competition, it was also a kind of social occasion, and Prince Fahd certainly had to do his courtesy, so Jing Jian understood very well, and nodded with a smile: "It's a great honor, Your Highness." Please. ”

Jing Jian and Mai Ting were the first to enter the box where Fahd was located, led by the concierge lady. At this time, the players of both sides were already warming up on the field, and the TV cameras began to capture close-ups of fans in the stands. Suddenly, the camera swept over Jing Jian and Mai Ting in the box, and the director exclaimed, and then the camera pointed at the two of them and pulled up the close-up shot.

The two announcers were also responsible for introducing the guests, but the sudden appearance of this pair of young men and women outside the list made them a little surprised: "Who is that Oriental?

"The blonde girl in sunglasses seems to be ...... Female celebrities, right?"

"Oh God, that's Miss Mai Ting. I know who it is, it's Bramble. ”

"Bramble?"

"It's that Chinese, haven't you read the news from the UK the other day?"

"God, that Chinese kid who wants to buy England?"

"Haha, that's him, that's him. ”

In TV broadcasts around the world, some countries with developed media quickly knew the identities of Jing Jian and the others, but the vast majority of them were still confused and couldn't understand what "buying the England team" meant?

Of course, the feature can't be particularly long, and many TV stations take advantage of this time to insert commercials, and not many actually broadcast the whole thing. It didn't take long for Prince Fahd to return to the box, while the warm-up players also returned to the dressing room, waiting quietly for the game to begin......

"Bramble, just now you said that China will become an oil importer, according to your opinion, what kind of scale will it reach in the future?" Sure enough, Prince Fahd is still concerned about the price of oil.

"Two or three years at most, about 20 years from now, to the size of the United States. ”

"So many?" said Prince Fahd, startled.

And Mai Ting, who was on the side, finally found an opportunity to speak: "Your Highness, Bramble has always had that kind of blind optimism about China's economy. ”

Amid the laughter, Jing Jian explained: "Not to mention the distant future, China's current demand for fertilizers, plastics and energy is huge. If it weren't for the artificial suppression of consumption, and if there was not so much foreign exchange, it would have become an oil importer long ago. ”

"I see!" Prince Fahd nodded suspiciously, at this time, the world's impression of China is still a very poor and backward country, and he does not dare to imagine the future development speed.

......

The opening whistle blew and the game officially began. Due to the relaxed mentality of both sides in the third-place match, it is easy to choose attacking football, especially the Italian team, which launched round after round of attacks amid the cheers of the home crowd.

It should be said that this third-place match is the most exciting one after the World Cup has video data. The England team did not show weakness, and also played an attack, cheers one after another, and the scene reached a boil in an instant.

Because she couldn't understand the game, Mai Ting was a little bored. And Jing Jian and Prince Fahd were very relaxed when they watched the game, and they were both very pure appreciation, so they kept applauding politely for the wonderful performances of the players on both sides.

"What a beautiful kick!" exclaimed Prince Fahd, "Bramble, who do you think will win?"

Jing Jian doesn't have the impression of this game in his memory, he was still a truck dog in his previous life. So he replied with a panacea: "Italy have home advantage, but I want the players I buy in the future to do well." ”

"Okay, are you interested in gambling?" Prince Fahd looked at Jing Jian with a smile, "You should choose England, right? Then I'll choose Italy." ”

"Huh. That's my pleasure. "A small bet, Prince Fahd will definitely not mess around on such an occasion, you might as well have a lottery to increase the fun of watching the ball.

"That's it, if you win, give you 50 million MBtu of gas at today's spot price, and if you lose, buy 500 million. Of course, 500 million MBtu can be purchased in installments, and the spot price at the time of purchase is negotiable. "Prince Fahd seems to be understating a very striking figure.

"Huh?" Jing Jian was puzzled in his heart, was this still a bet? Isn't this giving himself money openly?

At this time, the price of natural gas in the world is surprisingly cheap, and 1MBtu is basically about 0.2 US dollars. What kind of concept is this? Just use the unit of measurement that our people are familiar with, if we do not calculate intermediate losses, transportation costs, other costs, and reasonable profits, 1 cubic meter of natural gas for household use is only 0.05 yuan, or 5 cents? Of course, because the price of oil is quite low at this time, the market share of natural gas is quite small, after all, natural gas has the shortcomings of inconvenient transportation and storage, and special chemical equipment and processes for natural gas require large funds to be transformed.

With nothing to do, Jing Jian was a little sure of Prince Fahd's intentions: "I'm sorry, Your Highness, ...... are you?"

"Hehe, I heard that you didn't invest in a petrochemical plant in China?" Prince Fahd explained with a smile.

In fact, Prince Fahd has his own intentions in this bet. For Jing Jian, if he wins the bet, he can get the 50 million MBtu of natural gas, that is, the total value of more than 10 million US dollars, which can be sold casually in the international market, and at least hundreds of thousands of dollars can be earned. If you lose, it may be more difficult to sell, but as long as the petrochemical plant is put into operation, the most stupid thing to do is to use it as fuel for your own power plant, which is also much cheaper than the current price of coal.

However, for Prince Fahd, there is too much associated natural gas from the Kuwaiti oil fields, and I don't know how much is released in vain every day.

It needs to be explained here that during this period, the number of LNG carriers (liquefied natural gas carriers) in the world was quite scarce, except for a few shipyards in Europe and the United States that could manufacture them, only Japanese shipyards in Asia had this technology, so the bottleneck of natural gas sales was actually this kind of high-tech ships, and the manufacturing price and transportation price were quite expensive.

So for Prince Fahd, it's nothing at all. It can indeed make Jing Jian earn a little, but for Kuwait, it is equivalent to an extra amount of income for no reason.
