Huaguo Petroleum Group is the largest buyer of Blue Star Group's crude oil, purchasing 200,000 tons of crude oil at one time, and intends to maintain long-term cooperation with Blue Star Group.

But after the cheap crude oil returned, Huaguo Petroleum Group was not as happy as the outside world imagined. At the Yenching headquarters, a serious quarrel is underway.

"The price of oil is so cheap, we seriously doubt its quality!"

"There are a lot of impurities in Venezuela's crude oil, especially the sulfur content is quite high, and the crude oil we imported from Venezuela in the past needs to be further processed, which will increase our costs. Moreover, the impurities can not be treated cleanly at one time, and the crude oil we imported from Venezuela in the past can only be used to make low-grade industrial products such as petroleum asphalt, and there is no way to process them deeply. Now that cars are subject to China VI emission standards, these crude oils cannot be used to produce gasoline. We will make no profit at all! ”

"Using low-quality crude oil will not only increase our costs, but it will also destroy our refining equipment."

"I don't agree with your statement, I believe in the vision of the Blue Star Group, since the Blue Star Group can invest tens of billions of RMB in Venezuela, we should also have the courage to go out."

The two sides of the dispute are the North Group of PetroChina and the Group of the South, and the two sides have equal equity and do not give up to each other.

The Southern Group hoped to follow the Blue Star Group and develop the oil fields in Venezuela, but the Northern Group strongly opposed it.

At present, 70% of the oil of Huaguo Petroleum Group comes from West Asia, and the main operator is the North Group, which has a very large right to speak, and they have also reaped a lot of benefits from the oil trade in West Asia.

If the Southern Group and the Blue Star Group cooperate to develop oil fields in Venezuela, then the profits of the Northern Group will be greatly weakened, which they do not want to see.

The clue to why the price of crude oil has been decreasing every year, while the price of gasoline in China has risen year after year, and why the three barrels of oil have also reported losses every year, can be seen from this controversy.

According to the international crude oil price of 75 meters per barrel, the average price of gasoline in Huaguo is 4 yuan per liter (including tax) is more reasonable, and the company has enough profits. At present, the price of gasoline in Huaguo is about 7 yuan per liter (including tax), and the oil companies are still complaining.

The power struggle within the Huaguo Petroleum Group is serious, and all groups and forces will make profits into their own bags, slimming down the company and fattening themselves, and the purchase price of 75 meters of knives, after various additional operations, may be reported to the state There may be the cost of 85 meters of knives per barrel, and it is no wonder that oil prices can be reduced.

"Bluestar Group is engaged in science and technology, not crude oil, even if he can get low-cost crude oil from Venezuela, they may not know the quality of crude oil."

The quarrel continues.

"Alright, don't make any noise!" The CEO of Huaguo Petroleum Group was furious.

A monopoly central enterprise has developed for decades and has all kinds of drawbacks and historical baggage, and what makes the CEO angry is that the leaders below have not yet seen their own crisis, and are still arguing over profits and rights.

"Xiao Wu, send the crude oil sample to the laboratory for testing, and before the test results come out, you stop arguing!" Mr. Wang said quite seriously: "You are still arguing now, because you think that Huaguo Petroleum Group is a monopoly industry, whether it is buying oil in West Asia or buying oil in Venezuela, we have huge profits. But now I'm going to tell you, beware of Bluestar Group's involvement in the crude oil industry! Do you know how rich the crude oil stocks of Venezuelan countries are? Far more than the countries of West Asia! And as far as I know, Venezuela has reached an agreement with the Blue Star Group, and if the Blue Star Group wants, they will have the right to exploit the crude oil of the entire Venezuelan country. According to the current status of the Blue Star Group in China, will it be difficult for them to open an oil company? ”

Peaceful, absolutely quiet.

This is the biggest crisis of Huaguo Petroleum Group.

Chen Nuo, who was resting at home, would not have thought that the Bluestar Group would invite domestic enterprises to invest in the special economic zones in Venezuela with the greatest sincerity, and Huaguo Petroleum Group would regard the Bluestar Group as a competitor.

The mind determines the horizon, and the thought determines the height, which may be the truth.

An hour later, the results of the Blue Star Group's crude oil sample were released.

The rather simple inspector excitedly sent the inspection report to the boss to ask for credit, "All the indicators are of high quality!" The quality of Blue Star Group's crude oil is higher than that of West Asia and Saudi Arabia! We've found a treasure! ”

The conference room was silent.

The quality is better than that of the countries of West Asia! The price is even cheaper, is this still the crude oil of Venezuela?

Everyone's eyes were on Mr. Wang, hoping that he would be able to make a decision.

"Contact with the other two companies (Sinopec and CNOOC) to eat all the crude oil of the Bluestar Group! Let Bluestar Group become a crude oil supplier and prevent Bluestar Group from participating in the manufacturing, processing and sales of domestic petroleum products. ”

Wang was always able to sit in this position, and he also had his two brushes.

The huge profits of the oil industry are not only in the oil extraction, but also in the processing and sales of petroleum products. Let Bluestar Group become its own crude oil supply company, and Huayou Group will maximize profits.

The three barrels of oil soon came up with a unanimous decision, they negotiated with the Blue Star Group with a smile, and placed tens of millions of tons of orders in one go.

If there is an order, of course Chen Nuo will not refuse, but this is not Chen Nuo's original intention.

While Chen Nuo was still on vacation, he instructed Liu Jiangfeng to negotiate with the three barrels of oil and invited the three barrels of oil to invest in Venezuela.

The reply of the three barrels of oil is surprisingly unanimous: the domestic situation in Venezuela is very complicated, and it is better for you to go to the Blue Star Group to exploit it, and we will slow it down for the time being. Similarly, the domestic market is complex, and Bluestar Group is cautiously involved in the manufacture and sale of domestic petroleum products.

Chen Nuo had no intention of investing money in the processing and sales of petroleum products, so he didn't care about this sentence.

Okay, you can take a break for a while.

However, the practice of the next three barrels of oil made Chen Nuo completely angry.

Over the next few weeks, Bluestar supplied three barrels of low-priced, high-quality crude oil to nearly 10 million tonnes, most of which was used to process jet fuel and gasoline (Wukong electric vehicles dominated the high-end market, but the low-end market was dominated by various gasoline vehicles).

The impact of the price wave of crude oil on the market is instantaneous, and today it will take you less than a few weeks to import low-priced crude oil, and the price of gasoline and other products will definitely fall.

However, the National Development and Reform EI received the price documents for three barrels of oil, and after analysis, announced the price adjustment.

"From next week, the price of gasoline per liter will increase by 3 cents."

Consumers were dumbfounded, and so was Bluestar Group.

Consumers left messages on Bluestar Group's Weibo to express their anger.

"Where's your cheap crude oil? May I ask what is the original intention of your countries in the investment committee with such high oil prices? ”
