Jiang Xinxu said: "Also, it is also related to oil. However, this time I really wanted to sue. ”

Zhang Shuxian shook her head lightly, looked at him, and did not speak.

"We have built an oil pipeline from Russia to Kazakhstan, and we are now nearing completion," Jiang said. But when we negotiate the price of crude oil to PetroChina, guess what they say. ”

Zhang Shuxian smiled and said, "How can you say that it must be lower than the price of crude oil they export, do you ask them to buy your oil at a price higher than the price at which they sell crude oil?"

Jiang Xinwei looked at Zhang Shuxian in amazement, a little stammered, and said: "But, but, aren't we a net importer of crude oil now? The oil price should be based on the price they purchase from other countries, and the transportation costs, port occupation fees, storage costs, labor costs, and so on should be considered." How can we calculate the price of China's crude oil exports? Isn't our country's crude oil exports forced to lower in order to earn foreign exchange and maintain friendship with certain countries? But now we are exporting very little, and importing greatly more than we export. ”

Although China's crude oil imports have exceeded crude oil exports since last year, it does not mean that crude oil will not be exported, but that in another ten years, crude oil will still be in and out. In particular, some countries have been importing Chinese crude oil, and their refineries are built according to the characteristics of Chinese crude oil, which is not suitable for refining other countries' crude oil.

Out of friendship, Huaxia had to export to them.

In addition, some contracts are long-term, not just interrupted.

If PetroChina emphasizes that the crude oil they buy must be lower than the price of crude oil for export, Jiang Xinwei is really not good at arguing, after all, PetroChina is not willing to pay for subsidies, not to mention that they have a bad relationship with Jiang Xinwei, knowing that Jiang Xinwei has invested a huge amount of money to build an oil pipeline, which is the nature of riding a tiger, and they will not slaughter it for nothing.

Put yourself in your shoes, change your position, and give an example to illustrate: If Jiang Xinwei sees someone he doesn't like dragging a cart of bananas to sell, if he doesn't sell them, the bananas will rot on the way back, will you ask the other party to lower the price? Will you go to the supermarket and see the price of the supermarket, and take the initiative to say to the banana boss, I'll give it to you at the price of the supermarket, and you also delivered the banana to my door, saving my time and energy, and I will increase the price for you.

Impossible. It's nice to be able to take your bananas cheaply, and you don't care about your previous resentment.

Listening to Zhang Shuxian's words, Jiang Xinwei was a little dumbfounded: because he also knew that Huaxia did not have an overly urgent demand for crude oil now, and had just changed from a crude oil exporter to an importer, and people had not yet turned a corner in their hearts.

Jiang Xinwei said embarrassedly: "It seems that this case will not be sued today." However, Minister Zhang, I want to find some caves, salt caverns or something in Shizihe to store some crude oil, right?"

Zhang Shuxian was stunned for a moment and asked: "Isn't the cost of storing crude oil very high? Is it necessary to do this? In case our country finds a new oil field in the future, maybe it will resume export in a few years, what will happen to the oil you have stored? It is still impossible for us to buy it at a high price, so will you transport it out again?"

Jiang Xinwei pretended to be helpless and said: "If this is the case, I can really only congratulate the country on good luck while shipping the crude oil out." ”

However, he knew that although Huaxia would continue to discover new oil fields in the future, the shortage of crude oil would become more and more serious, and more and more crude oil imports would increase, and finally it would become the world's largest crude oil importer, buying oil all over the world.

Now he is just playing the sad card when he says this, hoping that the relevant state departments will see his loss and agree with him to find special terrain to store crude oil.

For Zhang Shuxian, it is nothing to find a place to store oil in a remote place in the northwest, as long as it does not pollute the environment, as long as it does not cause any accidents, you can store crude oil if you are willing to do so. The more you store your crude oil, the better it will be for the country's energy security, and in case of war or something, the state has every reason and right to requisition or forcibly buy your crude oil.

It's just that he feels that Jiang Xinwei is not easy, and he has also made a lot of contributions to the country, and now that he is in trouble, the country has to help him somewhat, at least remind him: the cost of storing crude oil is too high. Otherwise, you sell your crude oil to other countries.

Of course, he didn't know that Jiang Xinwei was playing the bitter card, and he didn't know that in the future, the price of oil would rise exponentially, from the current price of $15 a barrel to more than $80 a barrel, or even to more than $100 a barrel.

At its peak, the price of crude oil rose to $145 a barrel!

As long as there is a place to store it, storing crude oil is a very cost-effective one, and the profits of buying a factory are much higher.

Zhang Shuxian said kindly: "Xiao Jiang, you have to think about this matter carefully. As a Chinese person, I hope that you will store crude oil in our country, and we are willing to provide you with low-cost or even free land. But as a friend, I still want you to think more about it and consider whether it's worth it. ”

Anyway, there are many barren places in the northwest, many of them are desert areas, whether they are cheap or free, it is absolutely fine to draw a few places, and you can't take them. Besides, if you see a crude oil storage there, you will definitely have to invest and hire workers, and maybe you can also drive the economy and bring good income to the local people.

By the way, he remembered that some people had already suggested that the country should establish a strategic crude oil reserve center, just like the developed countries in the United States and Europe. Now Jiang Xinwei has taken the initiative to propose that it can at least be used as a supplement to the national strategic crude oil reserves, isn't it?

Thinking of this, he hurriedly said: "Save it, save it, we will give you some policy support." Maybe PetroChina will raise the price to buy yours in the future. Since they are also buying from other places, and they have to spend more money to buy yours, why don't they buy yours? Now they don't buy it with a little pimple in their hearts, and now they don't have much shortage of oil and don't buy it, but when some people are popular and there is a shortage of crude oil, maybe they will buy it at a higher price. ”

How could Jiang Xinwei know that Zhang Shuxian had turned so many ways in his mind in a short period of time? However, even if he knew, he would not be disgusted by the other party's small calculations. As the leader of the Ministry of National Development and Reform, it is of course normal and appropriate for him to look at problems from the perspective of national interests. At least he didn't deliberately trick people.

He said, "Yes." We hope that the day will come when the snow melts on both sides, and then we can win for both sides. Regardless, we are very grateful to you for helping us to save the crude oil we extracted from not being thrown away, but more or less preserving it. ”
