As mentioned above, China already has compensation trade, but as a country with a shortage of foreign exchange, China's role in compensation trade has always been the debtor.

The role of creditors is unfamiliar to China today. Fu Xin, a man with a future memory database, also understands what compensation trade means, what the debtor and creditor mean, all that exists in Fu Xin's mind is the explanation of textbooks, after all, he was an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in his previous life, and he belongs to scientific researchers, not business personnel. He didn't understand the specific operation.

As for Hua Yaoguo, the vice minister of the Ministry of Foreign Trade, he is very familiar with compensation trade and how to operate compensation trade, but he also knows half of it, and this half belongs to the role of the debtor played by China in compensation trade today, and Hua Yaoguo is very unfamiliar with the role of creditor.

"Compensatory trade?" Hua Yaoguo frowned, squinted his eyes and said: "Mr. Murensel, I'm sorry, I'm afraid there are difficulties in the compensation trade you mentioned, you should also know that we in China are also a country with an extreme shortage of foreign exchange. ”

Fu Xin thought carefully for a while, and whispered in Hua Yaoguo's ear: "Minister Hua, I think this compensation trade is feasible. ”

I don't understand the specific operation of the role of the creditor, but Fu Xin can provide advice, Fu Xin frowned again when he saw Hua Yaoguo, and Fu Xin said in Hua Yaoguo's ear: "Minister Hua, we will provide them with these oil equipment." It doesn't involve our domestic foreign exchange! ”

Hua Yaoguo came to his senses at this time, and his eyes lit up. I thought excitedly: "This is China's export product, and it really does not involve foreign exchange." On the contrary, after the completion of the project, a large amount of foreign exchange can also be recovered. According to Hua Hongxing's quotation just now, a set of equipment is 250 million US dollars, plus interest and so on, and finally almost 300 million US dollars will be recovered, which is a great big order. ”

"Still, there's a problem." Hua Yaoguo remembered something again, so Hua Yaoguo asked Fu Xin: "Although it doesn't involve foreign exchange. But how do we get paid for? ”

"The product they produce is refined oil, and it is very costly and risky to ship it back to China from South Sudan. You must know that pirates are a product that still exists, and they are rampant! In addition, our domestic demand for refined oil products is not large, we are one of the oil exporting countries, and our own oil fields produce oil. It is enough to supply the country, and it doesn't make sense for us to use refined oil to pay off debts. Hua Yaoguo added.

Fu Xin smiled slightly and said, "This problem is easy to solve!" Energy. It has always been a very good selling product, as long as we ship these refined products to the international market, are we still worried about finding buyers? ”

When Fu Xin said this. It's really frustrating, China is indeed an oil exporter at the moment. But in a dozen years, China will be an oil importer. And it is the kind of oil importer that accounts for a large proportion, at that time, China was oil, but it was very expensive, some people, can afford to buy a car, can't afford to drive a car, the reason is that they can't afford to burn oil!

Hua Yaoguo nodded and said, "What you said also has some truth, but there is still a big problem. ”

"What's the problem?"

"The situation in South Sudan is very unstable, and although the Noosby tribe is a large tribe and has not been affected by the war, it is not absolutely safe. If the tribe is attacked and even completely controlled by the hostile forces of the Nusby tribe after the equipment is put into operation, then we will not be depleted with money and goods?

In addition, the installation of equipment, personnel training, we all need to send people to it, during this period, our personnel safety, who will guarantee it? Bullets don't have a long eye, especially if we install industrial facilities for them, industrial facilities belong to logistics support, which should be a key target in modern warfare, right? ”

Fu Xin tilted his head and thought about it, and said: "This is indeed a big problem, but since ancient times, wealth has been sought from danger. If this were not the case, how could this project have ended up in our hands?

I think we should go back and get to know the diplomatic department in depth, and finally ask the military for their opinion and hear how they evaluate it. If they think it's possible, it's worth the gamble. ”

Hua Yaoguo pondered for a moment, and then said: "Okay, at present, we are only talking about cooperation intentions, this kind of policy and other things in the overall situation, and after soliciting the opinions of the domestic side, we will consider it, we really don't need to delve into it now." ”

At this time, Mulensil was already anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and he couldn't understand what Fu Xin and his leader were talking about, but he could guess that the two must be discussing the compensation trade, from Hua Yaoguo's answer before, and the look of some dispute between the two at this time, Mulensil was very anxious.

Hua Yaoguo and Fu Xin exchanged opinions with each other, and then Hua Yaoguo turned around and said to Murensel: "Mr. Mulensir, we have just exchanged opinions with each other on the matter of compensation trade you proposed, and our final decision is that this can be considered as a form of payment. ”

After a change of words, Hua Yaoguo continued: "However, Mr. Murensr, in view of the fact that this project will involve the domestic political and security situation of your country, we can only reach a cooperation intention with you at present, and whether we can cooperate or not also needs the participation of our Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the military to assess the political and security situation in your country.

After all, this matter involves a relatively large amount, and in modern warfare, industrial facilities are the key targets of attack, because these industrial facilities are logistical support.

We are worried that after my equipment is put into production, the equipment will be attacked by the hostile forces of your Nusby tribe, which will lead to our lack of people and money, and in addition, we also have to consider the safety of the personnel sent by the Chinese side during the installation of equipment and personnel training.

So, Mr. Murensr, if possible, we will send people to your tribe to conduct field trips at the right time, what do you think? ”

"Thank you very much." "We are very eager to have your country's support, and I will report this to our tribal leaders in detail when I return, and we welcome your delegation to our Nusby tribe for a study visit," Muhrensr said. ”

At this point, the negotiation was over, and Muhrensel left his contact information, and promised that after returning home, he would send information on the local security situation and oil resources to China's Ministry of Foreign Trade as soon as possible, so that the Chinese side could conduct an in-depth assessment of the project.

After Murensil left, Hua Yaoguo walked to the door, closed the door, and then asked Fu Xin: "Comrade Fu Xin, can you tell me now, once the construction of this project begins, what will be our full cost?" ”

Fu Xin shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Minister Hua, I am not in the field of petroleum equipment or petrochemical industry, I really don't know much about the price of this equipment, but you can Comrade Hongxing, since he can make an offer, he should know how much this thing costs." ”

Fu Xin pointed at Hua Hongxing and said, after speaking, Fu Xin suddenly remembered something, was stunned, and asked, "Brother Hongxing, how do you know what the price of this oil equipment is?" Although your Hongxing Fertilizer Factory belongs to the chemical industry, you are making chemical fertilizers, and it has nothing to do with petroleum equipment! ”

Hua Hongxing smiled slightly and said: "Scientist Fu, do you know, I used to work in a petroleum equipment company, and I was only transferred to the Hongxing Fertilizer Factory the year before last, so you said that you hadn't seen me before." ”

"Oh, and what's going on? So what is the approximate cost price of this equipment? Fu Xin hurriedly asked.

Hua Hongxing replied embarrassedly: "Minister Hua, Scientist Fu, I have already calculated just now, a set of 500,000-ton small oil refining equipment, that is, the kind of equipment that only produces gasoline and diesel, if I let the original factory to produce, the cost is about 80 million yuan, which still includes the price of sending workers to Africa to install and train personnel." ”

"Only 80 million? Your offer...... It's ruthless! Hua Yaoguo's eyes widened, and he gave a thumbs up to Fu Xin and Hua Hongxing, who were not shocked everywhere, and said: "With an investment of 80 million yuan, you can get back 250 million US dollars in foreign exchange, and if you come according to the compensation trade, you can even recover 300 million US dollars in foreign exchange, Comrade Fu Xin, I finally understand why you are so keen on this project!" Tut-tut...... Sometimes I really doubt that you were born to know and foresee the future. ”

Fu Xin's heart jumped, this Hua Yaoguo really fell for this matter, the explanation was to cover it up, he had to take Hua Yaoguo's last sentence as a joke, in fact, Hua Yaoguo's last sentence was really a joke.

After a minute, Fu Xin said, "Minister Hua, I don't think much more than that. I think that no matter how high the profit of this project is, it is limited, after all, this kind of thing is not very common, and it is risky. But if we can extend our reach into the interior of Africa through this project, then we will gain more than that.

As I have just learned from Murensir, the United States, the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union, Egypt and some other countries are now involved in the affairs of the Sudan, and if we can establish a connection with the Nusby tribe through this project, it will be very beneficial for us to gain a voice in this region in the future. ”

Fu Xin is not dead set on oil, because he clearly knows China's future energy situation, China needs to reserve a large amount of oil, but he is the only one who can see the future, for now, he really can't open which pot at this time, China has just stopped sending medical teams to South Sudan to help, and he wants to get involved.
