My Strength Does Not Allow Me to Low-key

When Xiao Feng saw Bella's gesture, how could he not understand what she meant, but it's not convenient to express his opinion here.

After chatting with Bella and Daliang about the construction of Ithaca City, Xiao Feng went back to the villa.

His villa was still left by the Li family. After the power of the Li family was cleared from Ithaca, their property was taken into common use.

Many of the high-quality properties fell into Xiao Feng's hands in the end, and this villa was where he and Jesse lived in the Ithaca area.

After resting in the villa for one night, Bella called early the next morning, saying that two oil tankers had arrived at the pier and asked him to go and have a look.

Xiao Feng drove to the pier. When he arrived at the pier, he realized that there were two 10,000-ton oil tankers. The captain was a bear named Andre.

He was very polite after meeting Xiao Feng, and even took out his satellite phone to call Liu Jin.

Liu Jin explained to Xiao Feng on the phone that the two ships were the oil he got from Venezuela, and the quality was already relatively good.

Xiao Feng didn't quite understand either, so he asked Bella to find someone to check on the boat. It was still heavy oil from Venezuela, but the quality was fairly good.

But now he doesn't have a storage warehouse at the pier, and there is no place to put the oil after it is unloaded.

Bella immediately took out the phone and got in touch with the people from Tongguo Petroleum Company. As soon as the situation was communicated, Tongguo Petroleum immediately agreed to take over the heavy oil.

And let them send the oil to the refinery in Aconcagua, and at the same time guarantee that they will be provided with affordable diesel according to the output of the oil.

But the other party will send someone over to test the quality of the oil today, and then finalize the contract.

Xiao Feng communicated with Captain Andre, who was leading the team from Mao Xiong, and asked them if they could send the oil to the refinery in Aconcagua. The other party didn't care where the oil was sent, anyway, as long as Xiao Feng gave the money. up.

According to the previously negotiated price of 20 dollars a barrel, Xiao Feng would have to pay about 2 million dollars for the two ships.

Two million dollars is not much, the key is that this business is still profitable.

The Aconcagua refinery is a subsidiary of Copper National Petroleum. It is the nearest refinery to the Ithaca region, right between the Ithaca region and San Diego.

At ten o'clock in the morning, representatives of Tongguo Petroleum arrived. A team of more than a dozen people arrived by helicopter.

The reason why they were so active was to give Bella Chen a face, because they had cooperated with the Chen family before.

The second reason is that the copper country is too short of oil. Even though the copper country oil company is the largest oil company in the copper country, it is Chevron of the United States that accounts for the majority of sales in the copper country market.

Copper Country Petroleum has always lacked its own raw material suppliers. Some time ago, due to the shortage of crude oil imports, they even announced a price increase.

This led to a series of chain reactions. Power plants also raised prices, freight companies also raised prices, and finally even subways raised prices, which finally led to the previous big movement.

Later, the government came forward to settle the big movement, but Tongguo Petroleum also fell down, and had to obediently adjust the oil price back to the previous price.

But in this way, they can't make much money.

so that some time ago,

They had to sign an agreement with Ecuador to invest 37 million US dollars to increase the production of oil fields in Ecuador.

But Ecuador's oil fields can't produce any high-quality crude oil, which is similar to the heavy oil in Venezuela.

In the past, they could still import low-priced heavy oil from Venezuela to refine it, but the problem now is that the United States failed to carry out a coup in Venezuela.

Therefore, a policy of sanctioning Venezuela was introduced, so that no one dared to import heavy oil from Venezuela, which would increase the cost of oil in the country.

Although I heard that Venezuelan oil is now exclusively represented by Mao Xiongguo's ROSNEFT company, because of fear of the United States, Tongguo Petroleum dare not have any contact with ROSNEFT.

This time they heard that Bella could get Venezuelan oil, and they were very happy.

Anyway, they were not the ones who came into contact with the Venezuelans, nor did they buy their oil from ROSNEFT. Even if the Americans wanted to mess with them, they would have no way of doing it.

The quality inspection personnel of Tongguo Petroleum quickly boarded the ship and inspected the oil on the tanker, and found that it was indeed heavy oil from Venezuela.

This kind of low-quality oil was used frequently in the Copper Kingdom before, so they also have very rich refining experience. It is nothing more than heating it at high temperature, adding hydrogen to it, and then it becomes high-quality fuel.

However, the cost will be higher, for example, waste gas will be generated during the heating process, and the liquid hydrogen used for hydrogenation is not cheap.

But as long as it is produced in large quantities, the cost can still be reduced.

After the quality inspectors of Tongguo Petroleum finished the inspection, the person in charge of this negotiation started talking with Bella.

Xiao Feng did not show up for this negotiation, but he wanted to see Bella's negotiating ability.

Sure enough, Bella did not disappoint Xiao Feng. The price of a barrel of heavy oil was increased by ten dollars by her, and finally sold at thirty dollars per barrel.

Xiao Feng was stunned when he heard this, because the price he bought these heavy oils from Liujin was only twenty dollars a barrel.

And now he made ten dollars per barrel by changing hands. He really didn't expect such a consequence.

Xiao Feng was overjoyed when he knew the final negotiation result, but he could earn so much just by changing hands. If this continues, he will become an oil tycoon in a short time!

And Bella also exclaimed a few times after knowing his purchase cost. She never thought that Xiao Feng could get such a low price of heavy oil.

After these oils are taken back by Tongguo Petroleum and purified and refined in the processing plant, the cost per barrel will only increase by another ten dollars.

But even so, the cost of a barrel of heavy oil has risen to forty dollars, and Copperland Petroleum is not losing money.

Because of the international crude oil price this morning, the New York Stock Exchange quoted $51 a barrel.

In other words, the profit per barrel of Copper Country Petroleum is about eleven dollars.

So no matter how you look at it, this is a deal where all three parties make money!

So who lost money in the end of this business?

"Of course they are Venezuelans? But this is their own fault. They don't have the lives of the Americans, but they suffer from the diseases of the Americans!"

In the end, Bella analyzed to Xiao Feng that Xiao Feng didn't know much about the situation in Venezuela, but Bella, as a South American native, couldn't know much about the situation there.

"How do you say that?"

When Xiao Feng asked, Bella explained to Xiao Feng.

"When Zha Zha came to power, in order to gain the support of the people, he promised a lot of benefits to the people. The most important thing is that he greatly improved the welfare of the people. At that time, the international oil price was high, and it could be bought at the highest time. One hundred and twenty dollars a barrel of oil, even if the quality of the heavy oil produced in Venezuela was not very good at that time, it was still easy to sell.”

Xiao Feng experienced that period of history. The reason why the oil price was so expensive at that time was entirely because the international economy had just recovered from the subprime mortgage crisis caused by the Americans.

Coupled with the very strong economic growth of Huaguo at that time, it also drove the consumption of all bulk commodities in the world.

At that time, not only was the price of oil expensive, iron ore, copper, soybeans, but all the commodities that were consumed in large quantities in Huaguo all increased in price crazily.

Among them, the craziest price increase is oil. When the price of a barrel is at its highest, it can reach $120 to $30.

The high oil price also dispelled Xiao Feng's idea of ​​buying a car at that time.

"But after the death of President Zha, because of the breakthrough in shale oil technology in the United States, the United States has suddenly become a rich country from the world's largest importer of crude oil, and even exported a large amount of crude oil and natural gas. The international oil price dropped rapidly. After being defeated, the President Ma who took over became numb. In order to maintain his rule, he could not reduce the welfare of the people, so he had to rely on foreign debts to maintain his maintenance, but in the end he could not sustain it. You would never have imagined that a Countries that produce gold, non-ferrous metals, and various mineral resources will live like this..."

Bella was obviously very unimpressed with the messy situation in Venezuela. When she introduced it to Xiao Feng, she also made it clear to Xiao Feng why Venezuela's economy was so bad.

Xiao Feng also understood, it was really like what Bella said, Venezuela's troubles like this are completely self-inflicted, without Mi's life, but with Mi's disease.

Think about these countries in the South American continent, it seems that they all have this disease, such as Brazil and Argentina.

In order to come to power, the president had to shout slogans during the election campaign to improve the welfare of the common people.

As a result, after coming to power, in order to cash in on welfare, they can only overdraw the country's future. A few years is a reincarnation. In the end, the country's economy can only collapse if it cannot sustain itself.

The most prominent example of this is Argentina. I don't know how many times I have gone back and forth like this.

"Do you know how exaggerated Venezuela's welfare is?"

Bella said, Xiao Feng shook his head.

"In Venezuela, the price of a liter of oil is 0.095 bolivars, which is equivalent to 6.30 bolivars per US dollar. Let's put it this way, adding 40 liters of gasoline to a car costs only the price of buying an egg locally. It's cheaper than a 355ml bottle of mineral water...you know the local water price is 5 cents a gallon which is about 3.79 liters."

"What? Damn it!"

Hearing such crazy oil prices, Xiao Feng finally couldn't help but swear, this oil is too cheap, isn't it?

And what Bella said next made him even more dumbfounded.

"Yes, you heard me right. What's even more frightening is that the price of gasoline has been maintained for nearly 20 years...not only does the government not get a penny of profit from gasoline sales, but it also subsidizes nearly 20 billion U.S. dollars in refining costs every year .And whoever wants to increase the price of oil, even if it is to increase the price of oil from the price of one egg to the price of two eggs, then he will step down..."

"..."

Xiao Feng was speechless. No wonder Venezuela's economy is so fucked up.

The citizens of this country have been completely spoiled. No matter who comes to power, there is no way to save this country unless they clean up all the citizens.
