Chapter 238 Establishment of a National Strategic Petroleum Reserve System
Old man Guo is full of words, and spitting is a pit. If he wants to do this, no one in the Guo family can stop him, not to mention that the first heir, Guo Tianyu and his wife, will not stop him at all, but will vigorously promote it, and start to handle the corresponding matters on the same day of the autumn vacation.
Fang Mingyuan didn't dare to stop him, if he said a few more words, Old Man Guo might really kick him out. And according to the old man's temper, I'm afraid that if he drives out of the door, these things will still fall into Fang Mingyuan's name. Fang Bin, not to mention, in the face of the majestic old man, his psychological pressure was greater than Fang Mingyuan. So this matter, under the tough attitude of Old Man Guo, has become a reality.
Fang Mingyuan, who had been in Hong Kong for two days, saw that it was about to be the end of August, so he naturally didn't dare to stay longer, so he hurriedly rushed to the capital.
"The boy who played crazy out there is finally coming back?" Su Huandong put down the pen in his hand, took off his glasses, and said to Fang Mingyuan with a smile.
Fang Mingyuan's scalp couldn't help but feel a little numb. Old man Su is a person who is easy not to get angry, or he is not happy or angry, but once he loses his temper, it is also quite terrifying, Su Aijun has not talked to Fang Mingyuan before. It's just that Fang Mingyuan is relatively well-behaved, and he has never given Old Man Su a chance to get mad. It's just that this time, he was caught by Old Man Su - when he came to the capital to go to school, he promised Su Huandong that he would at least take the school exam, and get the top three in the class and the top ten in the grade.
This time, for the sake of the smooth drag of oil futures, he did not take the final exam of the school, and the grade and class ranking were naturally impossible.
"Haha, Grandpa Su, isn't this here to help the country better? At least I have raised the cost of reforming the Fengtong Railway, and I have also received some news from the Middle East. Fang Mingyuan smiled and handed over a briefcase.
"Then do I still want you?" Su Huandong quietly took over the official letter.
"Grandpa, you're laughing! I'm a junior, so I'll lose my life. Fang Mingyuan shrunk his neck and said in a low voice. He also understood that Su Huandong was also for his good, so he felt even more embarrassed.
"Tell me, how much money was raised?" Su Huandong said angrily. He knew that Fang Mingyuan went to Hong Kong, seemingly for a commercial move. But in his opinion, this kind of thing can be done by Fang Bin and them, and Fang Mingyuan doesn't need to do everything himself. After all, he is still a teenager, and his most important task is to study! Although Fang Mingyuan is very smart and has always had excellent test scores, if he can't learn knowledge systematically and deeply, it will still have a certain adverse impact on his future development.
Fang Mingyuan stretched out a finger, and before he could speak, Su Huandong frowned and said, "One hundred million yuan, well, it's a lot." For the sake of 100 million yuan of income, he can understand that Weishenme Fang Mingyuan is going to sit in person.
"Grandpa, it's not 100 million ......," Fang Mingyuan said in a low voice.
"Ten million?" Su Huandong couldn't help but be a little disappointed, for the sake of 10 million yuan, it seemed that the gains outweighed the losses.
"No, it's 10 billion!" Fang Mingyuan leaned in front of Su Huandong, lowered his voice and said, "Dollars!" ”
"Ten billion dollars!" Su Huandong's hand shook, and the glasses in his hand fell on the table, almost falling into the teacup.
"How much?" Su Huandong really doubts that he is old, his ears are not good, and he has auditory hallucinations, this kid just said 10 billion dollars?
"Ten billion dollars!" Fang Mingyuan looked directly into Su Huandong's eyes and said word by word.
Su Huandong looked at Fang Mingyuan dumbfounded and dumbfounded, he couldn't speak for a long time, Fang Mingyuan saw him like this, and hurriedly helped him rub his chest and pat his back, and then Old Man Su breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he has long known that this kid is very profitable, but with so much money, Su Huandong never dreamed of it. Ten billion US dollars, converted into * RMB, is ** 10 billion yuan, if it is in the private black market, it can exceed 100 billion yuan, this kid is robbing banks, robbing banknote printing factories, and it is impossible to get such an amazing huge wealth in a short period of time, right?
Fang Mingyuan naturally poured out the ins and outs of the whole thing in one go.
Su Huandong then understood how this huge fortune came from, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, although he was not familiar with futures trading, but he had heard of it, no matter what, this is also a legitimate means of making money, but Fang Mingyuan played a little unbelievable this time. Thirty times the profit, which is even more profitable than drug trafficking.
"Old Man Guo really believes in you, and actually lent you so much money!" Su Huandong closed his eyes tightly, rubbed his eyebrows, and said softly, "He is not afraid that you will lose everything?" ”
"Hehe, Grandpa Su, Grandpa Guo believes in my ability, believe me is just blind, and he can make a comeback in the future, and this money will be repaid to him sooner or later." Fang Mingyuan said hehehe.
"Humph! So you risk your entire net worth! Don't worry about losing it all! Su Huandong said angrily. This kid was too bold and reckless, and he quietly mortgaged all his assets, and borrowed a huge amount of money from Guo Dongcheng, all of which were invested in the futures market. Fortunately, this is earned, if it is lost, wouldn't it be that all the savings of the Fang family in the past few years have been wasted? However, with a profit margin of 3,000 percent, it is no wonder that this kid dares to make such a big determination. Didn't Marx say that if there is a profit of 300 percent, the capitalists will dare to trample on all the laws of the world.
"You can't lose money, it's just a matter of earning more and earning less." Fang Mingyuan said with a sincere face, "What's the matter, I can't let my grandparents live a hard life again." ”
"Doesn't that mean that you already knew that there would be turmoil in the Middle East?" Su Huandong suddenly opened his eyes and asked sharply. This kid plays futures, he must be laid out in advance, and he must not wait until the situation is clear, by that time, the daylily will be cold early, and he will be a novice?
"Grandpa, you can't say that, what does it mean to know earlier, if you know, then wouldn't I be a fairy?" Fang Mingyuan said with an aggrieved face, "I just think that something is likely to happen in the Middle East, and Iraq owes too much foreign debt, so it is likely to take risks!" That's why I decided to take a gamble. Even if the guess is wrong, with the downward trend of oil prices at that time, there will be no big losses. Later, after the conflict between Iraq and Kuwait openly arose, I strengthened this confidence, and it was only then that I entered on a large scale. Besides, Grandpa Su, before I went to Hong Kong, I didn't remind you that there might be turmoil in the Middle East. ”
Su Huandong was stunned for a long time, patted his head, and said in annoyance: "You said so vaguely at the time, and I was so busy at that time......
"Before this kind of thing really happened, I was just guessing! How can it be said so clearly? Fang Mingyuan said helplessly. But I sighed in my heart, it seems that my efforts have been in vain.
Su Huandong also felt a little poor when he said - it was not that Fang Mingyuan didn't remind him, but that he let go of this opportunity.
With a slightly red face, he flipped through the briefcase handed to him by Fang Mingyuan, and his eyes immediately widened a little. "What are you? On the National Strategic Petroleum Reserve? ”
"The strategic petroleum reserve is a reserve system that guarantees national energy security in the event of a large-scale reduction or disruption of oil supply in the short term. It itself serves the national energy security, with the purpose of ensuring the continuous supply of crude oil needed by the country in wartime, and at the same time has the function of stabilizing the abnormal fluctuation of domestic oil prices in peacetime......" The first sentence of the opening chapter immediately attracted Su Huandong's attention, which made him can't help but look at it.
"The implementation of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) by the United States stems from the 1973 Arab Shijie war with Israel. In retaliation for the United States' support for Israel, the Arab Oil Export Organization imposed an oil embargo on the United States, European countries, and Canada, and greatly depressed crude oil production, causing oil prices to rise sharply, causing the economies of Europe and the United States to stagnate and even regress...... After the oil embargo, in order to prevent the recurrence of the economic disruption caused by the Arab oil embargo, the U.S. Congress passed the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, authorizing the federal government to create the SPR. The SPR was established to stabilize the oil supply and prevent oil from being used as a weapon to challenge the energy market. In the event of a supply disruption in the market, the invocation of SPR oil can stabilize the market, slow down the rise in oil prices, and reduce economic losses. In addition, the SPR can buy time for countries to resolve disputes......"
The article lists in detail the strategic petroleum reserve system established by several major countries, such as the United States, Japan, and European countries in order to cope with the sharp fluctuations in oil prices, and mentions the advantages and functions of establishing and improving the national strategic petroleum reserve system.
"This is what you wrote? How did you come up with the idea to write this? After Su Huandong read it in one go, he asked Fang Mingyuan in surprise. He is the Minister of Railways, not the Minister of Oil, so he naturally does not understand that Weishenme, as an oil exporter, Weishenme Fang Mingyuan also proposed the establishment of a national strategic petroleum reserve.
"I didn't write it, but I mentioned it, Prince Abdullah, and they helped me find some information." Fang Mingyuan shook his head and said, he didn't dare to admit that this thing was a synthesis of some things he knew in his previous life and some information he had obtained in the Middle East. "As for Weishenme, I will hand this over to you, because I think that in a few years, maybe our country will have to import oil to ensure that the development of our economy will not be in trouble due to lack of energy!"
