Chapter 558 Energy Pricing Power

Based on Ye Chen's understanding of Mr. Tang, if it wasn't true, he would never have said such a thing. Seeing how happy he is, our country must have gained a lot.

However, Ye Chen couldn't figure it out again, what has been threatening our country for decades?

It is not that there have been major events that have threatened our country for decades. Since the founding of our country, our country has been blocked by Western countries headed by the United States, and was once threatened by Western countries. However, with the strengthening of our country's strength, Western countries have lifted the blockade. Although not all of them have been lifted, it is much less than the blockade at that time.

"Xiaoye, do you still need to ask?" Elder Tang didn't answer Ye Chen's question, but reminded: "Didn't I tell you last time?"

Ye Chen suddenly remembered something, his eyes widened like copper bells and said, "Did you succeed in snatching food from the United States?"

After the photon information technology was announced, Mr. Tang told Ye Chen that the country wanted to cooperate with the United States, and wanted to take food from the United States and share the oil. Ye Chen has been paying attention to this matter, but he didn't expect it to be successful now. This is really a great event to be happy about. Ye Chen said with a smile: "Not bad."

Elder Tang looked sad: "Xiaoye, do you know? For decades, our country has been worrying about oil and lack of energy. This is the sword of Duskmo hanging over our heads, and it will fall at any time. We have been trying to solve this problem for ten years, but there is no chance. This time, we have successfully solved it, and our suspense has finally come to the ground.”

At the beginning of the reform and opening up, our country was a net exporter of oil. At that time, our country did not have to worry about not having enough oil, but worrying about not being able to sell it. In exchange for foreign exchange, our country exports a large amount of oil, which has made a considerable contribution to the country's accumulation of foreign exchange.

However, this situation did not last long, and the situation was reversed, and our country suddenly became an oil importer from a net oil exporter. With the economic development of our country, the consumption of oil is increasing, and our country imports more and more oil.

For this reason, Western countries also accused our country of driving up world oil prices. In fact, this is correct. The price trend of oil has always been controlled by the United States. If the United States wants to increase the price of oil, it will increase the price, and if it wants to reduce the price of oil, it will lower the price. What does it have to do with us?

Moreover, the United States saw our country's huge consumption of oil and kept oil at a relatively high price, which made our country suffer, and our country consumed a lot of foreign exchange.

Our country is the biggest victim.

"It's fine if it's resolved." Ye Chen is very clear about how much damage to our country the power of oil pricing is not in our country's hands, and he also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Little leaf,

do you know? How much has our country paid for oil? "Old Tang's eyes were red, tears rolled in his eyes, and he said angrily: "You also know that our country proposed a strategic reserve of oil more than ten years ago, and the United States has seen this. At this point, the price of oil has never been lowered, and our country has never had the opportunity to carry out large-scale strategic reserves. This makes us worry and fear. Without strategic reserves, once something happens, the consequences will be disastrous. "

The strategic reserve of petroleum has far-reaching influence and great significance. For this point, just look at how Germany was defeated in World War II.

Germany lacks resources, but Germany used a large number of mechanized troops in World War II, and its consumption of oil was terrible. Whether it was tanks or aircraft, they all relied on oil. When the Allies cut off Germany's oil supplies, Germany was doomed.

So many advanced jet planes were built, but they couldn't go to the sky because of lack of oil, so they could only be parked at the airport, and were bombed by hundreds of Allied planes.

If there was enough oil and a large number of advanced jet planes in the sky, the outcome of World War II might not have changed, and Germany would still have lost the war. However, the war will definitely not end in May 1945, it will be greatly delayed.

Assuming that Germany at that time had a large strategic oil reserve, this would not have happened.

If our country cannot carry out strategic reserves of oil, once the United States cuts off our country's oil supply, our country will repeat the mistakes of Germany, and the economy will decline or even collapse due to lack of oil.

In order to solve this problem, our country proposed to carry out strategic reserves as early as more than ten years ago. The vicious United States has seen this and used its oil pricing power to keep the price of oil at a high level. Our country cannot carry out strategic reserves.

In the past few years, international energy prices were very high, which was caused by the United States.

As for the United States itself, it will not be affected by the high price of oil, because the United States has another sharp weapon in its hands, and that is "extraterritoriality."

What is extraterritoriality? It is the convenience that the United States takes advantage of the US dollar as a global hard currency to shear sheep on a global scale.

Friends who pay attention to the international situation know that most of the global currencies, not to mention all, are linked to the United States. This makes the United States convenient, and the United States has to be unlucky if it wants you to be unlucky.

We all know one thing, when the Federal Reserve raises interest rates, the whole world will catch a cold.

Here is the proof.

Of course, this also has a premise, that is, the economies of these countries depend on the United States. China will not rely on the United States on this point, but it has also suffered a lot.

Over the years, the United States has always been talking about the exchange rate, which reflects that because of the strong position of the US dollar as a global hard currency, the United States can use its hands to gain benefits.

Therefore, the rise in international energy prices will bring no loss to the United States. The United States can definitely get it back elsewhere. It is enough to shear wool once, and it may even make money. But our country can't do it, we have to wait and wait, and the wait will last for many years.

Finally, the United States and Mao Xiong fell out. In order to suppress Mao Xiong's energy economy, the United States said hello, and the global oil price dropped sharply. Only then did our country seize the opportunity to carry out strategic oil reserves.

According to foreign media reports, there are countless cargo ships transported to China, a large part of which is oil. Oil has become the second largest commodity in our country after chips.

Ye Chen could fully understand Elder Tang's mood, and said with a smile, "Old Tang, you have done a great thing that benefits the country and the people."

"Xiaoye, it's thanks to you that we were able to negotiate with the United States this time." Elder Tang looked at Ye Chen with a smile, full of admiration on his face, and he couldn't express his liking for Ye Chen.

"The photon information technology is not entirely due to me, but also the efforts of Mr. Gao." Ye Chen knew that the country would definitely use the photon information technology to make a good deal with the United States. He was very curious about the negotiation process and asked: "Don Boss, this is not easy for you to snatch food from a tiger's mouth, the process must be very exciting, right? Can you tell me about it?"

Oil pricing power is a major means for the United States to reap benefits, and it is also a major means for the United States to suppress its opponents. The United States will certainly not take it out easily, and the negotiation process must be very exciting.

"That is." Elder Tang nodded.

Ye Chen's ears perked up, his eyes widened, and he stared at the video for fear of missing a small detail.

"At the beginning of the negotiation, both sides were asking for a lot of money, and then paid back the money on the ground. This stalemate lasted for a long time." Tang Lao began to talk about the details, saying: "This is taking food from the mouth of the United States, and the United States will be very meaty." It hurts, and this stalemate is exactly what we expected. After a while, mutual concessions began to be made, and finally an agreement was reached."

Although Mr. Tang said it very briefly, Ye Chen could fully imagine the danger involved.

"The United States agreed to share energy pricing power with us. However, we want to help the United States establish a photonic information industry." Elder Tang began to talk about the detailed terms.

Ye Chen nodded, looking as if that was the case. The United States wanted photon information technology, which was expected by Ye Chen. When I talked about this with Mr. Tang last time, I thought of it, and the country also has countermeasures.

"Of course, we just agreed to help the United States establish a certain level of photon information industry. Hehe, there is something to do here." Tang Lao smiled slyly, like an old fox.

The photon information technology is so advanced, it can be said that it is a trump card in the hands of the Celestial Dynasty, and it is impossible for the Celestial Dynasty to take it easily. It is even more impossible to help the United States establish an advanced photonic information industry, at most it will do things with the lowest standards.

In that case, the Celestial Dynasty would not be considered a breach of the agreement. Even if it is the lowest level in photon information technology, it is still photon information technology, isn't it?

"Mr. Tang, it's not me who hit you. If you think this way, the United States has a way to deal with it. At that time, the United States will delay and not give us the right to price oil. What will you do then?" Ye Chen raised his brows.

"Of course, we've thought of it too." Elder Tang looked at Ye Chen appreciatively, and said, "Not bad, I can think of that too."

"The United States has always been very reckless. If the United States wants to cut its flesh, it will kill the United States. If the United States does not play tricks, it will not be the evil United States." Ye Chen took it for granted.

Although the United States dresses itself up as a savior, the United States should not play too many hooligans around the world. Not to mention anything else, the United States also wanted to delay the implementation of the handover of the military base. Later, because of the news released by Ye Chen, the United States dared not to implement it.

I believe that the United States will be so shameless this time.

"Although what you said is a little bit hurtful, it is three points to the bone, which is a good example of the shamelessness of the United States." Tang Lao said with a smile: "However, the United States will never dare to play tricks this time."

Although the tone of voice is not high, it is full of confidence and loud, making people dare not have the slightest doubt.

Ye Chen believed in Elder Tang's character. If he hadn't been absolutely sure, he would never have spoken so full, so he couldn't help being curious, and asked, "Old Tang, what tricks do you have?"

"It's not that we have a brilliant idea, it's that you have a brilliant idea." Elder Tang said with a smile, but the words were a little confusing.

Ye Chen was confused, with a puzzled look on his face: "What does it have to do with me?"

"It has a lot to do with it." Elder Tang said loudly.

"I didn't do anything? I don't know what you negotiated." Ye Chen still didn't understand.

"You didn't participate in the negotiations, but you have something that the United States desperately wants." Elder Tang pointedly reminded Ye Chendao.

"Could you be..." Ye Chen's eyes widened suddenly.
