rebirth of change

The conversation between Chen Kangjie and Zhao Zhibang was interrupted for a while. After tasting the dessert made by Wu Ruoying himself, Chen Kangjie was called by Zhao Zhibang to have a long talk in the study.

"What is the plan you mentioned just now? Sit down and talk quickly?" After arriving in the study, Zhao Zhibang sat down on the soft chair behind the desk, impatiently asking Chen Kangjie to speak out the ideas in his mind.

When Chen Kangjie arrived, he was not in a hurry, but visited Zhao Zhibang's study with great interest. The antique bookshelves were full of documents and materials in two cabinets. There were two antique vases near the door. Even if Chen Kangjie didn't understand antiques , It can also be guessed that this cannot be a fake or a fake.It is impossible for the chief's study room to be filled with fakes. Next to the bookshelf, there are some ancient porcelains for decoration.

"Uncle Zhao, your study is much more magnificent than before." Chen Kangjie praised Zhao Zhibang's bookcase enviously.

"You little guy, don't make detours for me. If you have any thoughts, tell them quickly." Zhao Zhibang is not as excited as Chen Kangjie right now.

"Hey, actually, the compromise is very simple, you can build a strategic reserve of energy," Chen Kangjie sat down on the single sofa diagonally opposite Zhao Zhibang, and said slowly with a smile.

"Establishing a strategic energy reserve? Like the United States?", the United States has begun to establish energy reserves. Zhao Zhibang, as one of the top leaders, has many accurate sources of information.

"Yes, that's it," Chen Kangjie nodded.

“The situation we are facing is different from that of the United States. The United States is the world’s largest energy consumer and imports a huge amount of energy, especially oil. Moreover, the current large oil companies in the world are all Western companies, and it is quite convenient for them to build energy reserves.” Zhao Zhibang is still very insightful, and the relevant factors are analyzed very appropriately.

"Actually, the establishment of strategic reserves is beneficial to the United States, and it is also beneficial to us. Now the price of oil is very low, and a large part of OPEC's oil exports is controlled by the West in disguise. From the actual situation of our country, Among the two largest energy sources in the world, we are rich in coal but short in oil. If we now import oil for storage, the price is low, and many countries are willing to sell oil produced by their own state-owned oil companies to us. By importing oil, we can further build good relations with these countries, killing three birds with one stone, so why not do it?" Chen Kangjie analyzed based on his own understanding.

"Wait, you say the current oil price is still low? It's close to the US dollar." In Zhao Zhibang's view, the oil price close to the US dollar is definitely not low.

A few years ago, or even more than ten years ago, the price of oil was only a dozen or a few dollars, which was close to the price of the US dollar. It was indeed a high price, but what Chen Kangjie said was not comparing the price with the past, but the price with the future .

"Uncle Zhao, remember your suggestion. You have said it yourself. Our country's energy demand is gradually increasing. At that time, not only our country will increase, but other countries will also increase with economic development. According to the supply and demand of the economy Theoretically, when the demand for a commodity increases, the price will rise. It is obvious that the economy of our country will be doubled, or even many times in the future, and the demand will increase greatly. How can the price not increase significantly? So I The low price is presumably related to the future. Now it is close to US dollars, and it may be 40 US dollars, 60 US dollars, 80 US dollars, or even 100 US dollars in the future. In fact, the price is only a very simple factor.” Chen Kangjie said The reason is analyzed.

"Price is only a superficial factor? Then tell me about the deeper factors." Zhao Zhibang listened to Chen Kangjie's statement intently, and was very interested in his last sentence, leaning on the backrest, very leisurely and serious asked.

"At a deep level, there are two factors. First, it is to avoid being choked by others. When oil becomes a commodity that is in short supply, even if the price has risen a lot, it may not be possible to buy it with money. It is clear that some countries do not want us to develop and become stronger, so they will definitely hinder our country's development and strength. To put it bluntly, even if a foreign country fights a war, it will not be because the plane cannot fly. Ships can’t go out to sea, tanks can’t climb mountains and lose in battle. The second meaning is diplomacy. If you can import and store oil in large quantities, then it will establish closer relations with many countries. Treaty-style partnerships are unreliable. Only the binding of interests is a reliable friend. Importing is easier to find friends than exporting. This is an iron law of fact. If you always export, you will make money from others, and they will not be very satisfied. From the perspective of security or diplomatic strategy, this should be done,” Chen Kangjie talked a lot.

Zhao Zhibang held his chin with his right hand, pretending to be thinking, and didn't verbally respond to what Chen Kangjie said. Chen Kangjie was not in a hurry, he just thought about it slowly, his feet were raised, and he was leisurely.

Chen Kangjie's awareness is entirely later. At present, exports are still encouraged, and the meaning of imports is still not quite understood. They always feel that the increase in exports is a proof of economic development, and exports can be exchanged for more foreign exchange. Many people even think that , A large export volume will be able to promote our country's prestige.

However, after more than ten years, our country is facing the problem of pressure from many countries around the world, because China only exports products to foreign countries, rarely imports, and has a large foreign trade surplus, which makes it accumulate a large amount of foreign exchange. Without investment channels, the domestic currency is also facing great pressure to appreciate, raising prices, so this is a systemic problem.Chen Kangjie had another unspoken intention, which was to change part of the views of the leaders through this matter.

"There is a problem. This requires a lot of foreign exchange. In recent years, the government has had some money, but you know, there are too many places that need to spend money in the country. We have too many historical debts, and we can't afford the money at all. Doing this kind of thing that is planning for a rainy day, this kind of thing that spends money for the future, will meet with strong opposition, which is completely predictable.” Zhao Zhibang thought for a while, straightened up, and stared at him with piercing eyes. Chen Kangjie.

"Uncle Zhao, are you staring at me?" Chen Kangjie turned his head to see Zhao Zhibang's enthusiastic gaze, and immediately guessed what he was thinking.

"It's easy to talk to smart people, haha, who told you to be so rich?" Zhao Zhibang said cheerfully.

Before that, Zhao Zhibang didn't know that the money was actually Chen Kangjie's. It was only after he was transferred to the central government to become a state-level leader that he realized that Chen Kangjie had hidden such a big secret. At that time, he was really surprised. It took a long time to come back to God.That's right, if Chen Kangjie wasn't the boss, how could he use a super rich outsider like his fingers, basically he could invest wherever he wanted, even if he went to a place as desolate as Nigu, he wouldn't hesitate.

"You know everything?"

"Hehe, little guy, you have kept it from me a lot." Zhao Zhibang laughed heartily.

"It's not intentional to hide it from you, Uncle Zhao. The most important thing is... it's inconvenient, yes, it's inconvenient, you understand." Chen Kangjie smiled awkwardly to express his apology, and found another one for himself. Temporary excuse.

"I can understand this. You are so young and earn so much money in this province. It's really rare. It's right to be careful if you don't expose your wealth." Zhao Zhibang didn't think of Chen Kangjie because he kept such a big secret from him , On the contrary, I can understand his approach very well.

"Long live to understand, long live to understand", Chen Kangjie was relieved that Zhao Zhibang did not attract resentment or other bad impressions.

"Now that I understand you, do you want to understand me too?" Zhao Zhibang said playfully with a smile.

"Uncle Zhao, you won't come here for real, right? I don't have that much money now, and it's not something that can be done with [-] to [-] million. I had some spare money that was used for the rare earth project. Hundreds of millions of dollars", Chen Kangjie always seems to cry poor to others like this, but he never really cried poor.

After finishing the last sentence, Chen Kangjie quickly covered his mouth, accidentally revealing his current family background.

"Hehe, I am really rich, but I am crying poor with more than one billion US dollars."

"This is the bottom line, it's not enough to build a strategic reserve," Chen Kangjie wept.

"Don't you still have a lot of money in Japan?" Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhibang even knew this.

"Yes, there is, but I can't take it out for a while."

"You don't quite understand this. Do you think it is so easy to build a strategic oil reserve? Doesn't it take time for us to import? Where is the imported oil stored? Is it possible to use a big iron pot? This requires the construction of a strategic reserve. Just building a strategic reserve will not come down within two years, is this enough for you to draw out Japanese funds?" After all, Chen Kangjie only has more than ten years of historical knowledge, and Zhao Zhibang is still lacking in these specific things. Knowing a lot, being the leader of a country is not in vain, not to mention that he also learned about some of the US's strategic reserves in order to make that opinion.

"Oh, I understand, but we have to put on a show. I can't do things for the country so cheaply. Although everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country, I can't let my children suffer, right? There must be some benefits." Well, Chen Kangjie is not one of the losers. If he wants to reap the benefits, he always wants it. He said it very bluntly.

"Then do you have any good suggestions? Are we negotiating?" Zhao Zhibang put his hands on the desk and stared at Chen Kangjie.

"It can be regarded as it." Chen Kangjie looked at Zhao Zhibang and gave an affirmative answer with a smile.
