The importance of energy to Russia is self-evident, and the rise in energy prices has relieved Russia, which was already on the verge of extinction in the nineties, so much so that Russia has the nickname of a gas station disguised as a state, and some people think that Russia is better than Saudi Arabia only because of its nuclear bombs.

Of course, the problem is not only so simple, Russia itself was extremely chaotic in the nineties, it did not even have a basic security environment, and its economic capacity must have been underestimated a lot, not even worse than Greece in some economic statistics. But energy is still an important factor in Russia's containment of decline, which no one can deny.

"You let me touch the energy, are you someone outside who wants to kill me?" Lin Ye looked at Lydia with a very surprised gaze, and the senior Wu Dalang really had a strong sense of substitution. Is energy something that ordinary people can touch? Can't Lydia see that Khodorkovsky, who was the last one to attack energy, is still thinking about life in prison?

"What do you say?" Lydia retorted with some anger, but immediately understood what Lin Ye was worried about, and slowed down, "You mean oil and gas? I didn't let you touch these two things, I scared you." ”

Russia's oil exploitation is rising every year, and the surplus appears in the same period, and the implementation of relevant government policies has revitalized the entire Russian economy, so for Russia, who dares to pay attention to this aspect, it is okay to make a small fuss, Russia can tolerate a few sporadic small oil companies as embellishments, and there is only a dead end if it really makes a big fuss.

Otherwise, Berezovsky and Gusinsky jumped significantly more happily in terms of hostility to the government, but in the end they were only expelled from the country, and Khodorkovsky became the main target of the Kremlin's killers. It can be seen that Russia does not tolerate private control of oil at all.

"Then you mean coal?" Although Lin Ye is not extremely smart, he is not a fool. Especially in the case of suspicion that the target has been narrowed down to such a range, and it is not possible to guess that the IQ is obviously not online. Could it be that Lydia is ready to let him dig uranium?

"That's right, compared to oil and gas, Moscow attaches a different level of importance. As for what's the difference, Lydia is Russian, and she clearly understands better why coal is not valued.

For Russia, there is no shortage of these three energy sources, which can be seen from the fact that the domestic energy price in Russia is so cheap, and from the perspective of exporters, it is obvious that the first two are more important. The former is not as polluting as the latter, and it is certainly more attractive to Europe, Russia's main export destination. After all, Europeans are now the most economically developed regions in the world, and when they have money, they have more pursuits, and they have to consider embracing and forcing them, so how can they choose coal as an energy source.

In particular, Europeans prefer natural gas, which is a clean, convenient, high-quality and efficient energy source. Therefore, the calorific value and thermal efficiency of natural gas are not only higher than coal, but also higher than that of oil. The calorific value of coal is less than half that of natural gas. What is more valuable is that natural gas burns evenly, cleanly, has few harmful components, and has less pollution to the environment than coal and oil. Therefore, experts in many industries have a high view of natural gas, especially favor, and often use natural gas in the special process of the industry to manufacture the most ideal high-quality products and strive for the best economic benefits. The use of natural gas as a chemical raw material shows its importance and irreplaceability. Natural gas has a unique advantage over other chemical raw materials because it has a variety of special compositions.

As for oil, as long as there is no major change in the automotive industry, it has always been the most important of the three energy sources. This is also evidenced by the price comparison between the three, in which case Russia certainly attaches more importance to the first two, even though Russia has the largest coal reserves in the world at all times.

Coal is not very important to Russia as a whole, but the importance of coal to Siberia is still the first place, after all, Russia also has a gap between the east and the west, the European part is a large city, compared with the European part, these cities in Asia are a bit of a luxury to build gas pipelines, at least in recent years, it has not affected the status of coal.

"I'm still a little worried that if I attract the attention of Moscow, it seems that I am not much stronger than an ant. Lin Ye never thought about energy, and asked, "How about the coal mines in your Primorsky Krai?"

"What did you say?" said Lydia with a pretended reserve, "Actually, there are not many reserves, only half of the reserves of the coal mine in Mongolia that you dare not start." Of course, you can't swallow it all, but if you can take a thirtieth of it, it's already remarkable, and if we weren't a little short of cash right now, we wouldn't have thought about it. After all, it's a bit blatant. ”

"Then we'll check it out when we're free. After drinking the wine, Lin Ye nodded with a very interested look, he understood that Lydia was also a little worried about the current situation, such a large amount of debt was indeed uneasy.

It is also a real industry, and the companies that can easily count money are definitely energy-related companies. Selling energy is not the same thing as opening a factory, and there are many countries in the world that can rely on natural resources to feed their country. There are not so many countries that rely on industry to operate, and the latter requires many conditions, but not the size of the population.

Who has the money between a listed company and a coal boss of the same size? Don't even think about it, it must be the latter. The former does not own money but market capitalization, while the latter owns cash. Especially the oil dads in the Gulf area, all of them are characters that they can't be provoked. Any sovereign fund can be released with hundreds of billions of dollars in cash. There are quite a few multinational corporations in the world with a market value of more than 1,000 US dollars, but in order to maintain their own production, it is impossible for multinational corporations to withdraw funds and use them. And that group of oil dads can, and they are full of local tyrants wherever they go.

"Is this it? an ordinary place, and there doesn't seem to be anyone in it?" Lin Ye followed Lydia here, the name of this place is Adamsovkye, as for what the name means, how can he know such a profound question, only that the environment here is good, and the forest coverage rate is very high.

If it weren't for Lydia's early agreement, he would have thought that Mao Mei had taken a fancy to the forest here and was about to make a new logging area, and he would not have thought that there was something more valuable down here.

"Who told you it was discovered? It's about the same time as my father, but the coal mines we discovered in Primorsky Krai have long been enough, and the mines that are now in operation are more than enough for the people of Primorsky Krai. So there is only one experimental mine that has been abandoned for a long time. Lydia tilted her head, this look made Lin Ye very helpless, who is this pride for?

"Now that the whole country is implementing an energy strategy, we naturally need to use natural resources to develop the local economy, except for the relatively high degree of forest freedom, the rest is coal mines. You also know our Russian oil and gas, that's not something ordinary people can touch!" Lydia asked the bodyguard to clear the way, following the route that was almost impossible to see the suspected road.

"Looks like we can take it down. Lin Ye handed Lydia a bottle of water to follow her, her caring look warmed Mao Mei's body and mind, she also enjoyed the feeling of being cared for, no girl would refuse a man's love.

"When the time comes, I will inquire about the bottom line of the government's price, and we should work together to win it. Lydia rested for a while and said, "There may be a road to be built, if we Russians, I don't know how long it will take." And the locals don't necessarily want to do this kind of work, can you find a way to recruit a little labor to build roads and go down the wells? ”

"I won't do this, will you spare me?" Lin Ye smiled bitterly when he heard this, "Don't give me this kind of multiple-choice question that is not a person inside and outside, no one knows what this mine is like." When there is a little mining disaster or something, you will condemn my conscience. ”

Lydia nodded clearly, her expression had already shown that she didn't believe a word of what this man said, and her conscience was such an obvious lie? "Are you afraid of losing money in a mining disaster? What should we do then? We owe so much money now, and we must return it as soon as possible." Of course, the lower the cost, the better, and our Russian labor force is not enough, and the labor cost is still very high, only you Chinese are suitable. Aren't you Chinese very hardworking?"

"Hard work is not a damn reason, my parents are both in the country, which makes it difficult for me. Let me think about it...... "Although Lin Ye is not a good person, this kind of role from the sweatshop does not want to be brought in so soon for the time being."

"During your Soviet period, when there was not enough labor, you don't have to say about blacks. Is there anyone on the Asian side?" Lin Ye has no good impression of the gang of black and green, unless the other party is also a local tyrant who can let him earn benefits.

"When I think about it, of course, the labor force was replenished from the socialist countries, and there were contracts. Lydia went through the allies at the time and said, "North Korea, Vietnam or something." ”

"It's Vietnam, the Vietnamese are also very hardworking, and it just so happens that the relationship with you Russia is not bad, and it must be easy to deceive you by recruiting workers under the banner of Russia. Lin Ye said directly, it just so happens that Vietnam's labor force is very sufficient, and it can be regarded as industrious, which is very in line with the standard, as for the other country in Lydia's mouth, Lin Ye, the great man from heaven, can't afford to provoke it, and he doesn't dare to hit the other party with his idea.
