Unlike Colombia, Venezuela's development did not start with a complete development framework, but went its own way. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info now the investment promotion work is basically completed, the interests have been planned, now let them join in, but there are not enough benefits, this is also the biggest problem at present.

Companies that don't have enough benefits, but have to travel around take on more responsibility, and they have to make a lot of investments in basic industries to offend the companies that have already entered, so Gracia has always been very determined.

But the Venezuelan side is also a headache, they have driven out European and American companies, and introduced mainland enterprises. Otherwise, they will be offended at both ends now, and their lives will be even more difficult.

Halfway through development, it is more difficult to plan than to start planning from a blank sheet of paper, and Venezuela is now in such an awkward situation.

Of course, this is not to say that their current development is worse, the main problem is that they have not achieved their expected goals.

Venezuela is the world's largest oil reserve, with more oil reserves than Saudi Arabia. It's just that most of Venezuela's oil reserves are heavy oil, not light oil from the Middle East, and the quality of oil is not as good as that of the Middle East.

Moreover, although Venezuela's minerals are not as good as Colombia's, nor as good as Peru and Chile, but the domestic gold and metal ore production is also quite large. Selling resources, as long as they can sell them, their lives will not be sad.

The key problem is that with Colombia as an example, their current development is too unsatisfactory.

Almost all of Colombia's oil and mineral enterprises have formed a group, twisted into a rope by traveling companies. Whether it is in supporting small enterprises in the country, the construction of basic supporting facilities, and the introduction of advanced technology, there is an overall leap forward.

In contrast, Venezuela, despite all its resources being sold, has not had a strong company to promote its development in other areas, resulting in an almost dependent company on foreign companies.

It is clear that more than ten years later, the price of oil plummeted, and Venezuela immediately fell into a difficult situation, and many citizens who were originally full of happiness could not even afford to eat.

But at this time, Zhou You still had to say: "Consul Collinan, I have also done some research on the current problems in Venezuela, and the current stage is indeed not suitable for my company to enter." If it wants to change the current situation, the government should act immediately and set up a mediation body to improve the situation. ”

Collinan smiled self-deprecatingly and said: "Venezuela is not a hinterland, there is no strong executive government, and many problems are out of our place, but we are powerless to change them." Asking for outside help is the best way we can think of at the moment. I have been authorized by President Chavez to meet your company's demands in terms of more cooperation, but we are powerless to change the agreement that has been signed. ”

Zhou You shook his head with a smile and said, "What else does Venezuela have besides oil and minerals?" ”

At this time, Commercial Counselor Fernando said: "Mr. Zhou, the establishment of a futures company in London and a futures company in Singapore a few months ago undoubtedly represents your company's expansion of influence from the upstream to the downstream of the energy industry. Although we in Venezuela currently control more than half of our oil production in the hands of foreign companies, we still occupy more than half of the oil distribution ratio, so these can also be the conditions for our cooperation. ”

As soon as he said this, Zhou You's heart was immediately moved.

Resource-based enterprises such as oil and minerals are not like ordinary production enterprises, everything is autonomous. Worldwide, according to the degree of development, it is difficult for major oil companies to account for more than half of the extracted resources, even if they invest heavily in it.

For example, an oil company that invests a billion dollars in an oil field can produce one million barrels of crude oil per year. But this crude oil does not belong to this company, and at least three or four percent of it belongs to resource countries.

This is only the initial distribution ratio, plus taxes, environmental protection expenses, etc., this company in the distribution ratio of one million barrels of crude oil, at most, only half, that is, 500,000 barrels belong to the company.

In some high-quality oil fields in the Middle East that are easy to exploit, the proportion of enterprises is even lower, even less than 30%. Saudi Arabia, the world's largest oil exporter, has a maximum allocation of less than 30 percent for any oil field project invested by any company in their country through various means, and even only 10 percent for the lowest.

But even so, there are still countless companies that want to enter, because this kind of one-time investment, long-term benefit of the project, is hard to find.

So, while Venezuela doesn't have a say in the production of many oil fields, they do have a lot of power in terms of sales, because most of the oil belongs to their country.

And if Zhou You participates in this link, not only will there be many benefits to the two companies that have just been established, but more importantly, he can have more say in this industry.

Hearing him say this, Zhou You pondered for a while and asked, "Can your words represent your country's Ministry of Energy, Ministry of Commerce, or even President Chavez?" ”

"In fact, President Chávez has always pinned his hopes on consolidating the power of the various departments and, like Colombia, expanding the competitiveness of the country as a whole, rather than just selling oil," he said with an affirmative nod and said. ”

"I like this suggestion very much...... Zhou You said after a while, "I won't interfere too much in the sales of petroleum products, but I hope to add a link in the sales of petroleum so that my company can have a certain degree of autonomy." If this condition can be agreed, I will also promote the overall development of my company in Venezuela as soon as possible. And I promise that my personal investment in Venezuela will not be less than $5 billion, driving the development of no less than $50 billion in industry. ”

It is clear that most of the oil is still sold to the mainland after all, but there is another very important problem here, that is, the control of time and pricing.

Zhou You spent a lot of money to acquire futures companies and set up new futures companies, fighting for this pricing power. As long as his influence continues to increase and he controls more and more oil production, it will not be all Western companies that control prices, allowing crude oil to soar to a high price of $140 a barrel.

From 2006 to 2013, the mainland suffered more than a trillion dollars in oil alone, and if he had more influence in this area, he would definitely have made oil prices not rise so high.

Corinan and Fernando finally smiled, they didn't care about the investment of Zhouyou, but more about the cohesion of the entire industry with the integration of Zhouyou.

The companies investing in Venezuela are almost the same as those in Colombia, and the continued cooperation of companies that are accustomed to such cooperation will also bring about an increase in the overall strength of the country.

Now that the framework has been established, it is now necessary to open negotiations and fill in the contents. Zhou You is just a strategic arrangement, but one of his decisions will keep countless people busy for a long time.

Collinan and the others had only been on the farm for less than two hours, and before lunch, they insisted on leaving the farm. Because of these news, they have to send it back to China through a safe channel, and prepare to negotiate with the travel company as soon as possible.

"My dear, will I return to Colombia tomorrow as soon as possible and form a business delegation to negotiate with Venezuela as soon as possible?"

"Don't be in a hurry," Zhou You shook his head and said to Sanchez: "Help me arrange for representatives ......of Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia to meet me, this time we are going to play a big game of chess in South America." ”

Yes, one Colombia is not enough, plus one Venezuela is not enough, only by pulling more countries can this game of chess be played bigger.

It's 05 now, and there are still two years to go, and it's the financial crisis that started in the United States. At the beginning, Zhou You never had the idea of a financial crisis, because he knew that this money would not be easy to make.

Many ignorant people think that they can make astronomical sums of money by selling short and shorting with financial leverage, and even Zhou You thought so before he was reborn.

But many people will not know until he is reborn, and after he understands the industry more and more, that all this is an illusion.

In the Asian financial crisis of '97, Soros swept across Asia, causing hundreds of billions of dollars in losses, but what was his profit? That's less than $2 billion. His billions of own capital, including tens of billions of funds leveraged by the last leverage, are all high-interest capital, and the money he earns after paying interest is not as much as the capital that Tencent's listing has risen in one day.

Moreover, he later failed in successive investments and had to close the famous Quantum Fund three years later. Even so, he has received numerous death threats, and many countries consider him a wanted man.

Short futures refer to the fact that this is a great enmity for any country. Although theoretically you can go short at will, and finally buy a cheap one to repay the loan you started to lend, however, as long as the government arbitrarily issues an order to freeze the transaction, you will lose a lot if you can't make up the position you contacted.

Soros sniped at Hong Kong Futures Index, which is such a situation, he sold Hong Kong dollars, bought US dollars, and then waited for the Hong Kong dollar to depreciate. At that time, the Hong Kong dollar in Hong Kong did depreciate, but the Hong Kong government only needed to take out the US dollars to buy all the Hong Kong dollars in the market, even if the Hong Kong dollars were cheap, Soros did not have enough Hong Kong dollars to repay.

Just this time, Soros lost all the money he earned in Thailand and $2 billion in Hong Kong.

So, if you go long, you can still make a fortune in a market, because everyone is making money, and what you earn is the value-added part, so no one will specifically target you. But if you go short, you just wait to lose all your pants.

But Zhou You will not do this, firstly, he does not understand the financial market, and secondly, his plate is too big for ordinary people to take his plate.

However, in response to the depreciation of the dollar and the subprime mortgage crisis, there are many places where you can do it. As long as Zhou You slowly buys euros and renminbi in the past two years, and when the subprime mortgage crisis comes, he can deal a fatal blow to the United States.

Especially in the resource market, Zhou You should pay more attention to it, because this industry is related to the fundamental interests of a country, and he has more right to speak, and he can have a greater impact on the people's livelihood of the United States.

He wants all Americans to know how wrong it is to put himself in prison, but he is not going to let Americans have a problem because they are a self-proclaimed free market economy, and everything is market behavior.

In two to three years, the United States will be stabbed hard both economically and politically, and this is the plan of Zhou You. When a year passed, he focused on the project to promote an armistice and peace between the two sides of the Colombian civil war, and he couldn't sacrifice a little economic interest to make them move.

Ecuador is not a very important place in the planning of the trip, because almost all of the country's minerals are already owned. But this country belongs to the jujube, and there are no jujubes. They are neighbors to Colombia, and their policies have gradually shifted to the left over the years, so they are a good place to gather momentum.

Peru is connected to Chile, a country of minerals, and there are several world-class large copper mines in the territory, and the country's economy is also average, and it is still a country with great development potential.

Bolivia plays an important role in the travel plan, first of all, because the country has no access to the sea, so there has been very little mineral development in modern times. But the poorest country in South America was formerly known as a mining republic and is rich in mineral reserves.

In particular, this country has the world's largest lithium mine, which is the most important raw material for mobile phone batteries and car batteries in the future, and they alone account for more than 40% of the world's output.

Zhou You spent three days meeting with the consuls of the three countries and had serious discussions with them about investment. Later, he carefully analyzed with Gracia the importance of investing in these countries.

The main point is that money should be made, but more importantly, it is important to expand the influence of Zhou You in all aspects.

If the investment and development of these countries in South America goes well, in Southeast Asia and Africa, there will be countless countries coming to the door in the future, and at that time, the influence of travel is beyond anyone's touch.

With the advice of travel, Gracia left the United States on her special plane Gràcia and headed for Colombia. This Gràcia is the former Gulfstream, the Elizabeth. However, the new plane ordered by Zhou You was about to take over, so she gave the plane to Gràcia, and she changed the name of the plane to the Gracia.

The new Boeing 747 was named the Elizabeth, and because of this, Paris and Gracia also said that they were eccentric. But Zhou You just said: "The children are all Elizabeth in charge, and if any of you want to keep the children around, I will print the name of the big plane." ”

The two of them had nothing to say, and it was okay to expect them to tease the children once in a while, and let them carry them all day long, which was even more ruthless than killing them.

Zhou You is also rejoicing, he is fortunate to have a more reliable daughter-in-law, otherwise, a group of children would have to bring their own, it would be sad.
