Age of Dreams
Vol 2 Chapter 1715: The tragedy of net oil importers
Although Li Jianxi hurried over, Xiao Qi still accompanied his wife and children back to his home in Seoul. The next morning, he got in the car sent by Li Jianxi and went to his luxurious home.
Whether Chinese or foreigners, when they are powerful and powerful, they usually like to decorate their homes more luxuriously. On the one hand, they must match their own power and on the other hand, they also need to enjoy life.
Mistakers like Mr. Buffett are only a few of the few after all.
Li Jianxi was also a romantic figure when he was young, and he also paid attention to health preservation when he was old. Therefore, he did not go to Samsung headquarters every day. Most of the time, he was only responsible for grasping the general direction, and he trained all the specific matters. Elite subordinates.
Usually more often, those subordinates come to him for advice.
Therefore, this large house has become a holy place for Samsung's hundreds of thousands of employees.
If you want to make a name in Samsung, then you have not been to the house of the president once, there is no hope at all, and it is not your turn for the seniors.
But for Xiao Qi, Li Jianxi's home was nothing great. Even after he walked in, Li Jianxi's wife, as well as the children at home, would treat the distinguished guests with grand etiquette.
Sitting in a tatami room, Xiao Qi drank Korean tea, looked at the heavy snow still falling outside, and said casually: "The weather in Korea in recent years shouldn't be very good, right?"
"Who says no? There are many natural disasters during this period, a blizzard, a torrential rain, or a nationwide drought..." Li Jianxi nodded, "Fortunately, Korea is not an agricultural country, otherwise it would have collapsed.
"A country with a small land area. Mainly engaged in agriculture, that is a dead end." Xiao Qi said the truth from ancient times to the present. "But South Korea has done quite well, whether it is shipbuilding, steel, automobile, and electronics. , All are world-leading levels. There is so much that China has to learn from you!"
Many Chinese people only know how to scold the Korean stick, but they don't know that this stick has left China a few decades away in many respects.
Take the shipbuilding industry, for example. China prides itself on being the second largest country in the global shipbuilding industry. Do you know who is the first?
Korea!
Although it is only a civilian shipbuilding industry, think about it, South Korea is a bit bigger and has a population? Isn't this worthy of admiration?
There is also the Korean steel industry. South Korea’s steel is basically not much worse than Japanese steel. POSCO is recognized as the most competitive steel company in the world. This is much better than the quality of the steel we produce—some special steel from China must be imported. The fact that it works has already explained how much we have for high-end steel manufacturing standards!
There is also the automobile industry. In the past two years, the Elantra, Sonata, Maxima, etc. have gradually occupied the compact car market in China. Although it is still unable to compete with Japanese and German manufacturers, it is definitely to make those FAW, Second Automobile, SAIC, Guangzhou Automobile and other companies who only know how to make money with foreigners come with aspirations and have a future.
In the electronics industry, although it has not been seen in the past two years, Xiao Qi, who has experienced 2013, knows how strong Samsung and LG will be in the Chinese market in the future, and even Japanese manufacturers have been beaten up and reorganized. Not to mention a group of outdated domestic companies that don't care about technology but only know how to fight price wars.
Xiao Qi doesn't like Korea, and hates Japan even more.
But he had to admit that the two countries became prosperous and powerful for their own reasons, and success will not be accidental.
We have always been living in the dream of a "heavenly kingdom". We always look down on the two small kingdoms that were not even ants under our hands hundreds of years ago. We are more disdainful of their achievements.
But I didn't expect that it is not what it used to be, and that it is backward, and I want to restore the glory of the past. There is no other way but my own continuous efforts!
Xiao Qi saw this clearly, so he would not ignore the achievements of others, but instead regarded them as motivation for himself.
Li Jianxi was also surprised by Xiao Qi's mentality. In his mind, Chinese people are not willing to face up to the achievements of Koreans, thinking that Koreans used to be servants, and now they will also be servants.
At the same time, Li Jianxi's admiration for Xiao Qi took another step.
Being able to see yourself clearly is more important than being able to see others clearly.
Xiao Qi's ability to admit the shortcomings of China frankly proves that Xiao Qi has an extremely clear mind. This kind of talent is the most difficult to deal with.
With a smile, Li Jianxi said: "Why don't you say that Qi Shao, Hua Guo has innate advantages, the land is vast and fertile, and the products are rich. Wouldn't it be like we have to weigh the ribs for a meal? Also, Qi Shao just now The several industries you mentioned, shipbuilding, steel and automobiles, all need a lot of oil! China's oil self-sufficiency rate can reach 60%, right? South Korea imports almost 100%! And we are still the world's fourth largest oil importer , The energy strategy is pitiful compared to Japan!"
Speaking of East Asia Sanxiong, China, Japan and South Korea account for almost 40% of global oil imports. China is second only to the United States, Japan is third, and South Korea is fourth.
South Korea imports 2.2 million barrels of oil every day. Once there is any trouble in oil, South Korea's stock market and finance will start to fluctuate, because they have no ability to resist risks at all!
Between this year and next year, due to the plunge in oil prices, South Korea has lost more than 20 billion U.S. dollars in it, almost the same as China.
With Xiao Qi in this world, China will naturally not suffer from this great oil change, but unless there is also a reincarnated person in Korea, they will still suffer a great loss!
Xiao Qi listened to Li Jianxi's words and didn't say much, but it didn't mean that Li Jianxi did not continue to express his intentions.
Li Jianxi has already understood that people like Xiao Qi cannot be deceived by your conspiracy and tricks. It is better to cooperate honestly in order to obtain more benefits.
"Qi Shao, I know that you have your own opinions on oil. Today's oil price has exceeded 116 US dollars per barrel. Do you think it will rise again in future generations?" Li Jianxi asked bluntly.
"It will go up." Xiao Qi replied.
"How much will it rise? When will it be the head?" Li Jianxi continued to ask, "Really, as Qi Shao said, will it stop until $150? Or, as Goldman Sachs predicted, it is very likely to reach 180. The high point of the dollar?"
"Where can I judge so accurately?" Xiao Qi laughed, "President Li, I am not a god."
Li Jianxi saw Xiao Qi's hesitation and stopped, and also smiled slightly: "Little Qi, we are all old friends, what else can't you say? Can Li Jianxi treat you badly?"
"Chairman Li, you and I can rest assured, but I am puzzled, Samsung has nothing to do with the oil industry, right?" Xiao Qi shook his fingers and said, "SK Group and Ssangyong Refinery are separate, and Hyundai Petroleum is modern. Caltex is foreign-funded, does Samsung also have an interest in the petrochemical industry?"
"Hehe, I didn't expect Qi Shao to know so much about South Korean oil companies! In fact, Samsung also has an oil company, but the scale is not big." Li Jianxi smiled calmly, "Although they have nothing to do with me, they were expensive some time ago. I really appreciate the oil hoarding practices of China’s PetroChina, Sinopec and CNOOC. Samsung is a South Korean company and should naturally contribute to South Korea. Therefore, it should help them hoard a lot of oil and use it at critical times. It has a great positive meaning."
Xiao Qi understood.
You must know that no country’s oil giants are vegetarians, and they are all masters. If Li Jianxi can show favor to these giants, then Samsung’s foundation will be more stable.
To put it bluntly, it was just a transaction. Maybe these giants entrusted Li Jianxi to ask Xiao Qi.
Seeing Xiao Qi thinking, Li Jianxi continued: "Of course, we won't let Qi Shao be a staff in vain. If Qi Shao can help, then I will get the best reward for Qi Shao. Believe this old face of mine, is it worthy of your trust?"
Nodded, the boy continued to fall into thinking.
Because of the different economic structure of the country, South Korea cannot survive without importing oil every day, and it does not have the diversified development of Japan, so it cannot withstand the oil crisis compared to Japan, and it will be pitted by the giants of the oil futures market every time. money.
This is the sorrow of net oil importers! !
If Xiao Qi helped them this time, South Korea would have lost at least more than 20 billion US dollars, which would be very objective.
Xiao Qi didn't care about the monetary return, the amount of money was meaningless to Xiao Qi, and with the technology and ability, he could make money.
What he was wondering at this time was whether South Korea had the technology or company he wanted~www.readwn.com~ To ask Xiao Qi what he wanted most in Korea, he would be very rude, and simply put Samsung’s entire electronics The industry chain is all done to oneself.
It is impossible to think about it.
Not to mention the entire industrial chain, even some of them, it is impossible!
Li Jianxi is more treacherous and cunning than anyone else. It took him more than 20 years to finally build a unique hardware industry chain in the world. How could Xiao Qi make it cheaper?
It is not a problem for him to sell products from these industrial chains to Xiao Qi. Anyone sells them to make money. He is still anxious to use Xiao Qi's orders to strengthen technology research and development and enhance his own strength.
What should I choose? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point () to vote recommended votes, monthly tickets, your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users please go to read.)
PS: South Korea ranks fourth as an oil importer, which proves how developed their industry is from another aspect! Such a small country can have this ability, it is indeed worthy of us to catch up!
