(Second Update)

JokingFor Zhang Lan, the price of the crude oil he took from Iraq was as low as only $40 per barrel, and he certainly had plenty of confidence for this crazy price

When the news came, OPEC cried, and the secretary general of the OPEC secretariat, Adnan Shihab-Eldin, even said in a bit of anger that some unscrupulous crude oil suppliers have completely lost the most basic moral code as a businessman. In the face of the words of Adnan Shihab-Eldin, Secretary General of the OPEC Secretariat, it is conceivable to what extent OPEC has let Zhang Lan be bullied.

However, despite the verbal scolding, in private, Adnan Shihab-Eldin, secretary general of the OPEC secretariat, relayed the words to the mysterious seller through the businessmen who secretly bought crude oil from the mysterious seller, "If you can reach a dynamic and stable agreement with OPEC, then OPEC will be happy to see a competition emerge." ”

Obviously, the words of Adnan Shihab-Eldin, Secretary General of the OPEC Secretariat, fully prove that OPEC has admitted the failure of its previous actions, and after realizing that it has no way to deal with this guy, it has turned to seek a settlement with Zhang Lan: Okay, I can't do anything with you, in this case, let's make an agreement, you can continue to sell your land price oil, but what should be done during this period, I hope we can reach an agreement.

Zhang Lan smiled at the olive branch handed over by Adnan Shihab-Eldin, secretary general of the OPEC secretariat.

In fact, Zhang Lan has no intention of making too much trouble with these international energy giants, not to mention, if everyone can reach a well-known exchange of interests, who doesn't want to make more money themselves? Although Zhang Lan has a lot of money, in this world, no one will ever dislike his money, right?

In this state of both sides are willing to reach a compromise, in late December, a highly confidential video conference call, the secret construction was successful, but unlike the previous video and teleconference we are familiar with, all the participants of this video and teleconference not only used voice and morphing software to ensure that other people attending the meeting could not figure out their appearance, and even when building the hardware equipment of this set of video and teleconference, There are special network engineers to help you set up some hardware shields, and all the network addresses of everyone are blocked.

After testing by the relevant network engineers, it was concluded that even if the well-known CIA was allowed to track it, it would not be able to track it at all...... Even if they were tracked, the bigwigs at the meeting had plenty of time to evacuate easily without worrying about their identities being revealed.

For this meeting, Zhang Lan really took great pains.

In the last days of the last month of 2006, the world began to shake through the news that Iraq might shut down the international oil route to the Strait of Hormuz in retaliation against the United States because of dissatisfaction with the Americans' nuclear threats to develop Iran's peaceful nuclear energy program.

On the same day, information quoted an Iranian parliamentary official as saying that Iran was ready to close the Strait of Hormuz between Iran and the Arabian Peninsula. With an average daily capacity of 15.5 million barrels of oil transported and one-sixth of global consumption, the Strait of Hormuz is the world's most important oil transportation corridor, and its closure would inevitably lead to a global shortage of crude oil supply.

As soon as this unconfirmed news was released, it immediately caused great panic among global energy consumers, and investors expected the Federal Reserve to launch more monetary stimulus, and international oil prices rose sharply on Tuesday.

Although the Iranian Foreign Ministry later denied the news, saying that the supply of crude oil would be normal, the trend of the market rally has been set, and seeing that the price of international crude oil has risen to a price that he is satisfied with, whether it is the Americans, OPEC, or Zhang Lan, they are all covering their mouths and snickering.

Separately, the Federal Reserve concluded its last monetary policy meeting of the year. Ahead of the Fed's announcement of the results of the meeting, there has been speculation that the Fed may launch a third round of quantitative easing to stimulate economic growth, which has led to high investor sentiment and strong buying momentum. However, near the close, the Fed only announced that it would keep the current low interest rate level unchanged and did not hint at any new monetary stimulus, which disappointed the market and narrowed the oil price gains. …,

Meanwhile, OPEC will hold a meeting on Wednesday to coordinate outputs. All 12 OPEC members agreed to cap oil output at 30 million barrels per day, a delegate said. On Tuesday, NYMEX's WTI crude January 2012 futures jumped $2.37, or 2.42, to settle at $100.14 a barrel, while ICE's Brent crude January futures rose $2.32, or 2.2, to settle at $109.58 a barrel.

Especially on December 13, due to the decision of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) meeting to keep crude oil production unchanged and China's economic data is good, international crude oil prices ended their volatile decline, and the entire global international crude oil market ended its real moment and resumed its upward trend. OPEC decided to continue to maintain the crude oil production limit unchanged after holding a meeting of oil ministers in Quito, the capital of Ecuador, on the 18th, in line with the market's previous expectations, and investor sentiment was high.

In addition, data released by the National Bureau of Statistics at the end of last week showed that the total retail sales of consumer goods in November were 1,391.1 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 18.7, an increase of 0.5 percentage points higher than that in October, and the good economic data further boosted the crude oil market.

On the day, the U.S. dollar index fell by about 1, and the weak dollar also pushed oil prices higher. By the end of the day, WTI for January 2011 delivery on the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) rose $0.82 to settle at $88.61 a barrel.
