Chapter 566 There Is No Shortage of Oil in This World?
Jiang Huifen looked at the obedient children and nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Water and electricity should also be saved, don't go to the mall to buy shoes or something like that!" If you need anything, you can buy it quietly yourself, don't run to the store in groups. Your dad is verbose again. ”
"Yes!"
After they dispersed, Gu Yaluo took Lucifer's arm in the moonlight and strolled on the way home.
"What was Grandma talking about in the living room?" Lucifer asked faintly.
"Oh! Grandma, is giving us housewives and future housewives a political lesson? Eliminate the waste of food, and insist on domestic products in agricultural and sideline products. Gu Yaluo smiled faintly and said with a smile, that smile was as clear as the warm spring light.
As soon as Gu Yaluo's words fell, the lips of the man next to him slowly drew a shallow arc, and there was a little brilliance in his black eyes, deep and breathtaking, "It's okay to eat domestic products now, there are no too many additives, residual pesticides, and food safety problems." ”
"It seems that He Zheng has to be brainwashed, the tightening spell has just been released, and it is much easier to implement it from top to bottom. A sentence from above is comparable to a holy decree. Under the moonlight, Gu Yaluo's smooth little face flashed faintly.
"This alone is not enough, there is a comparison to be objective, of course, healthy economic development and economic benefits are always contradictory. The most important thing is to promote scientific, healthy and green farming and increase yield. For ordinary people, when they are hungry, the first thing that comes to mind is whether they are full or not, not whether they are toxic or not. In the history books, he was so hungry that he even ate Guanyin soil. It's just to survive, to survive! Lucifer raised an eyebrow.
"Yes! Just to live, that's all. Gu Yaluo said lightly. The road ahead is the hardest! ”
"Forget it, don't want to do that now?" Lucifer took her around her waist and walked home.
Under the bright moonlight, the two walked side by side, the shadows cast on the ground were stretched very long, and the shadows of the two people were even more integrated under the mottled trees.

In the supermarket, Lucifer and Gu Yaluo push a trolley. After some shopping, we went to the fruit section.
Lucifer picked the fruit, and Gu Yaluo smiled slightly. "It's not okay to import, grandma will scold."
"Got it." Lucifer picks up cheaper and more delicious domestic products.
"Grandpa's generation is really a complete patriot." Gu Yaluo chuckled, "If what you say is unreasonable." Can we go against the grain? ”
Sorting is done. After paying the bill, drive away!

In Lu Jiangfan's study, Lu Haoshan skillfully made tea, and soon, the faint fragrance of tea accompanied by a hot breath came to the nose, which made the father and son who were tired for a day suddenly feel a lot more energetic.
"Dad, it's November, and it's almost the end of the year. What instructions do you want me to have? Lu Haoshan, who was sitting opposite him, picked up a cup of tea with his slender fingers and took a deep breath. Then I took a shallow sip and enjoyed it.
"What, Dad invited someone else?" Lu Haoshan looked at the two extra teacups filled with tea, and said with a smile in his dark eyes.
"Yes!" Lu Jiangfan replied simply.
As soon as the words fell, a knock sounded on the door, Lu Jiangfan raised his eyes and smiled, "Please come in!" ”
"Luo'er, Lucifer, why are you here?" Lu Haoshan looked at the two of them in surprise, his eyes rolled, "Is Dad waiting for the two of you?" ”
Lucifer can be understood, he knows that he is unfathomable, but snail? Lu Haoshan's eyes flashed with a big question mark!
"Sit!" Lu Haoshan got up and moved his position to get out of the way.
Gu Yaluo and Lucifer sat down on the couch.
"That's it! Everyone is here, let's get down to business? Lu Jiangfan put down the cup in his hand and said, "Even grandpa knows that there is a revolution in Iran, and the price of oil will rise again, so it seems that you have to keep an eye on oil futures!" In particular, Iran's anti-American sentiment is high, coupled with the political turmoil, Iran's oil production has dropped significantly. Under the slogan of 'Death to the United States', American businessmen engaged in oil extraction and oil trade in Iran began to be expelled one after another. It's all too obvious. ”
"Hmm!" Gu Yaluo nodded and replied simply.
"Why doesn't the third brother agree?" Gu Yaluo glanced at it, frowned lightly, and Lu Haoshan said.
Lu Haoshan pondered for a moment and said, "Due to the first oil crisis, the unfair oil system of capitalism has gradually been broken, and OPEC's influence on the world oil market is too great. It's so uncomfortable to be choked by the neck. Moreover, on the one hand, the excessively high oil price has caused a decline in oil demand and an increase in prices, which will help promote energy conservation and the development of new energy. The role of the development of new energy sources is widely recognized, and various countries have made efforts to develop new technologies to develop new energy sources and carry out energy-saving measures, and have begun to gradually establish strategic petroleum reserves. On the other hand, it has contributed to the increase in crude oil supply from non-OPEC producers. Since the mid-to-late 70s, various western developed countries and oil companies have vigorously carried out oil exploration and extraction activities in non-OPEC regions. ”
Lu Haoshan took another sip from the teacup, "In 1969, the Exfisk oil field was discovered in the North Sea, and in 1970, the Fodis oil field was discovered. North Sea oil reserves in Norway and the United Kingdom have been discovered, and the United Kingdom has become one of the major oil producers. The oil reserves of the whole of Western Europe are almost equal to those of the United States. In the future, the United Kingdom and Norway will become important oil exporters. Moreover, from 1976 to the present, Mexico's proven oil reserves have increased sixfold, and the United States has discovered large oil fields in Alaska with reserves of nearly 10 billion barrels. Then there is the Soviet Union, due to the development of a series of large oil fields in Siberia, its oil production has been rising. Only the Samotrol oil field produced 110 million tons of oil in 1976, and the Soviet Union's oil production reached 496 million tons in 1975, surpassing the United States to become the world's largest oil producer. In 1976, it exceeded 500 million tons. ”
"You mean there's no shortage of oil in the world, right?" Gu Yaluo's lazy voice was dyed with a faint gloom.
"Yes." Lu Haoshan nodded.
"Haoshan, don't forget the human factor and political factors, capital is profit-seeking. Futures are predictions of the future...... If you have abundant capital, you can use the money to make a rising market. Lucifer said in a flat voice, without a hint of undulation.
"Oil is a non-renewable resource and a strategic reserve resource. ”
"The losses suffered by American oilmen in Iran must be recovered, and there is no faster and more simple and crude way than raising oil prices in one fell swoop." Lu Jiangfan echoed.
Lu Haoshan rubbed his chin and said, "Just like the first oil crisis, American oil companies must have repeated the same old trick, first hyping up the harm of Iran's oil production cut to the United States through the media, and then deliberately reducing the oil supply in the US market, artificially creating an oil shortage, and then large and small oil companies frantically raising prices according to the agreed prices, then the losses will naturally be passed on to the American people." ”
"I always think that even if the price of oil rises, it will fall." ”
"Oh!" Lucifer's deep dark eyes flashed slightly, and he asked with interest.
"Even giants sometimes miscalculate!" Lu Haoshan scratched his head, pondered for a moment and said, "If the U.S. oil companies really raise oil prices like crazy, the countries that have been relying on the United States and OPEC for oil supply will definitely find another way to find more affordable oil suppliers." In this way, a huge oil market has gradually been created in addition to the oil market manipulated by the United States, and the price of oil in this market is much lower than that of the oil market manipulated by the United States. As a result, some European oil dealers colluded with small and medium-sized oil dealers in the United States to reverse cheap oil from outside the United States into the American market and sell it at a low price. As a result, the high prices of the big American oil merchants go unnoticed, while the cheap oil of the small and medium-sized oil companies in the United States is in vogue. The big oil dealers in the United States thought that they would make another windfall by creating an oil shortage and driving up oil prices, just like the first oil crisis, but as soon as they stirred up the peace with the small and medium-sized oil dealers, the oil sales of the big oil dealers fell sharply, their profits plummeted, and they finally had to get rid of the large amount of oil they had hoarded at a low price. The big American oil merchants will completely miscalculate in the oil crisis directed by them, and it can even be said that 'stealing chickens does not make rice'. ”
The three of Lucifer looked at Lu Haoshan in surprise, he touched his cheek and said, "Why are you looking at me like this?" Am I not right? If it were me, I would definitely do it, there is cheap oil to use, why should I use a high price. ”
"Then tell me who will stand up." Lu Jiangfan raised his eyebrows and asked.
"The USSR and the continent!" Lu Haoshan said affirmatively, and without waiting for them to ask, he continued, "After the first oil crisis, there was a rapid oil exploration boom around the world, and by the end of the 70s of the 20th century, the proven oil reserves spread across five continents and four oceans. In order to get rid of the monopoly of the United States and other Western countries on the world oil market, the Soviet Union, the mainland, and other socialist countries have continuously expanded their investment in the oil field. The new and old oil fields of non-OPEC countries are making every effort to expand and increase oil production, and some of them have not only achieved self-sufficiency in oil, but also become one of the oil exporters.
Because of the vast territory of the Soviet Union and the mainland, the mainland's policy changes and it is believed that they will soon rise to become the largest oil producer and exporter after the United States. Moreover, the Soviet Union and China often regard themselves as the eldest and second brothers in the socialist camp, and they are bent on helping other small socialist countries in the world get rid of poverty as soon as possible, so the price of oil supplied to these countries will certainly be far lower than the price on the international oil market. As a result, some Western countries, which used to supply oil from the United States, also tried hard to import cheap oil from China and the Soviet Union. It can be said that in terms of the price and supply of oil, many countries in Eastern Europe and Asia were no longer subject to the United States and OPEC. (To be continued.) )
