Age of Dreams

The traffic in the capital is notoriously congested. Xiao Qi took a car from the suburbs to the center of the city. He set off at 10 a.m. and spent more than two hours on the way. He didn't arrive at the mansion until 12:30.

Tang Quan had sent someone to wait at the door a long time ago, looking at the car with this license plate number, and after hurriedly leading through the entry and exit procedures, he directly took Xiao Qi to the canteen.

There are several canteens in the mansion. Needless to say, ordinary people can’t eat them anyway, but in the eyes of Xiao Qi, who has eaten several meals, it’s actually the same as that of the fairy farm’s ecological base. Almost, but the price is indeed cheaper.

In the past two years, a series of reforms of civil servants have been implemented. It is impossible for the cafeteria to not spend money, but the price of 3 yuan for a bowl of beef noodles and 5 yuan for a three-meat and three-vegetable meal is also Very affordable.

Besides, there are some meal supplement policies, which actually don't cost much.

Xiao Qi didn't go to the big canteen to eat, but went to the small private room to eat.

The big bosses in the palace usually eat in small private rooms. Like the officials in various places, they are not hypocritical, but they eat outside, and the people underneath are not comfortable eating.

Entering the small private room, Xiao Qi only saw Niu Ruzheng, but the food was served, three meats, one vegetarian and one soup, which was very simple.

"Uncle Niu, the traffic in the capital should be rectified again!" Xiao Qi was not polite. He sat down and ate with chopsticks, complaining as he ate, "Look, I'm coming from the reservoir. An hour and a half! This is not the peak traffic congestion period! No wonder I heard that the capital is the city that spends the most commuting time on average."

"Not so exaggerated?" Niu Ruzheng also picked up his chopsticks and replied as he ate.

"You will know when you go abroad. New York, Tokyo, London, which city does not have better traffic than the capital?" Xiao Qi added rice to himself, "For example, in Chengdu, no matter the morning rush hour or the evening rush hour, it is very smooth. Yes. When you go down and have a look, you will surely find it novel."

"Are you promoting the congestion charge rules of Rongcheng?" Niu Ruzheng smiled. "Comrade Xiao Xu submitted the report before the Chinese New Year. We all read it and found it very good and practical. Regarding these plans implemented by Rongcheng, first of all The Urban Transport Committee is also actively studying and discussing. Strive to implement it within this year."

"That's right!" Xiao Qi said, "You should implement this kind of thinking more in your life. If you have money and are willing to enjoy it, then give him a chance to enjoy it. Anyway, they won't be stingy with this little money instead of squandering it. It’s better to use it to do something for the people. As for those who don’t want to pay, then do things obediently according to our rules and save energy as much as possible."

"You can't say that. This is for more people to travel smoothly." Niu Ruzheng corrected Xiao Qi's statement.

Not to mention the young man nagging secretly. Niu Ruzheng continued, "Calling you over this time, a group of people from their oil department will also be there in the afternoon to listen to your opinions. How about? Are you ready?"

"I can tell you, I am a businessman, discussing with people in their government system. Isn't it awkward?" Xiao Qi offered his opinion like this.

"They are still very convinced of you." Niu Ru is righteous.

"I'm afraid it's not convincing, but you want someone to be in a scapegoat when something happens, right?" Xiao Qi shrugged. "Success, this is regarded as their own credit. Anyway, I, an outsider, can't share the credit. Once there is any mistake, it is my mistake in judgment, which caused them to lose money. They are not responsible."

"You, can't think of others better?" Niu Ruzheng frowned.

"Then you can assure me. Are they not such people?" Xiao Qi asked rhetorically.

Niu Ruzheng paused slightly. Obviously, he couldn't guarantee it, because many officials were just like Xiao Qi said. They were afraid of being responsible in everything, as long as they were irresponsible. It doesn't matter how you lose or fail.

After thinking for a while, he stopped his chopsticks, "But for some things, the country will suffer more losses if capable people like you do not stand up. I know your credit, and President Bian also knows it, and the people also I can feel it."

"If I didn't want to contribute to the rise of the country, I wouldn't be involved in this oil futures from the beginning." Xiao Qi laughed again, "But, as you know, my wives are pregnant again. My baby, if you count it this way, I will have at least 30 children. In the future, my energy in business will definitely decrease a lot, and I won’t pay much attention to something like oil futures that drains my mind."

Niu Ruzheng laughed dumbly, and didn't make a joke about Xiao Qi, but these dozens of wives, twenty or thirty children, in this world, apart from the local tyrants and African chiefs, I am afraid that few people can have it.

"If you really don't want to discuss it with them, you can, but you can't hide your privates." Niu Ruzheng said, "This matter is actually very important. Our China's oil purchase plan is long-term, and it cannot be because of the previous victories. , Just want to keep the fruits of victory. For us, no amount of oil will work."

Just think about China’s population of 1.5 billion, and you know how much resources you need to consume.

Petroleum is the bloodline of industry. Derivatives are also involved in every corner of life. Of course, the more the better.

Xiao Qi was overjoyed when he heard the words. After eating and drinking for a while, he finished his lunch and began to talk about his thoughts.

"Uncle Niu, in fact, the oil market in the past two years has not been as violently fluctuating as in 2007 and 2008." Xiao Qi said openly: "Although the price will fluctuate around 60-90, if I want to make a difference, I I don't think it is necessary."

"Oil at this price is indeed a bit embarrassing." Niu Ruzheng understood oil well, and nodded when he heard this.

Normally, when a country buys oil, it is not like a company or investor. A few yuan or more than a dozen yuan is already the boundary between profit and profit or loss.

The country buys oil not for investment, but for use, so it is not price sensitive at all, and it is usually enough to maintain a reasonable price range.

The current floating quota of around US$30, although it is still relatively large, is actually not that important when it comes to other freight, refining, use, and so on.

Xiao Qi continued: "So if the country wants to master more oil, then the best way is to skip the purchase on the oil market and buy from the country instead."

"National purchase?" Niu Ruzheng thoughtfully, "You mean...Iran?"

Soon he shook his head again, "This is impossible!"

The life of Iran is very difficult now. Although it is guarding the world's largest offshore oil field, since the financial crisis, they have been beaten by the United States very badly in finance and import and export, and they have had a difficult year in 2009.

The 55 billion U.S. dollar oil purchase order with China has become their life-saving straw. It is with these orders that Iran has been able to hold on. There is no such thing as a previous life where domestic prices have soared and almost collapsed. situation.

But the United States is not a fool. It has long been thinking about cleaning up China.

However, the orders between China and Iran were previously placed, and all the money was given. If you insist that China does not buy oil, you are simply torn apart with China.

China is not willing to offend the United States, but why is the United States willing to offend China? And the one that offends death?

However, this does not hinder some small tricks of the United States. Last year, one of the top five commercial banks in China, which had a large amount of business in Iran, was included in the scope of key monitoring by the United States and rejected the bank’s global clearing business. This bank was very passive, and in the end it could only surrender and withdraw from the Iranian market.

Then the oil tanker industry in China was severely fined by the United States for their business in the United States for various reasons, with a fine of up to 500 million US dollars.

Of course, these two things are nothing, but the United States is also a warning to China. If you make any tricks, be careful that I really sanction you.

China does not dare to take risks, so it does not dare to do business with Iran in the short term, let alone buy oil again.

According to the current progress, Iran is desperately producing oil to make money, and it is estimated that it will be completed in the second half of 2010 at most. As for whether they can have other orders by then, China does not know, but China will not go against the wind. They bought it.

A dignified Chinese country, driven like this by the United States, it would be uncomfortable to come to Niu Ruzheng, but this is also a reality. If you want to get rid of the shackles, you can only work harder.

Therefore, Niu Ruzheng is more active in wanting to control more oil resources, so as not to be controlled by others.

"How can it be impossible?" Xiao Qi smiled. "It's actually very simple. Iran can't hold it anymore. What they lack is a step now~www.readwn.com~If Huaguo can do a good job in the middle, it will be different. This kind of confrontational incidents are used to ease and communicate, then the United States will not be so dead. After all, don’t look at them making a lot of trouble, but if you want to do Iran, it will be tortured with Russia. The Americans are so proud and expensive. How can it be done? Kind of stupid?"

This is actually the case in the United States in the previous life.

They yelled and killed so many countries. They were nothing but a **** in the Middle East, but they never thought of Iran.

Supporting forces, such as the Iraqi bosses going to Iran to do Iran, that is true, but Iraq is still a bit weaker than Iran, and the United States has not succeeded.

It's not that they don't want to end. The key is that if they push Iran up, then the entire southwestern abdomen of Russia will be completely exposed in the NATO encirclement. How could Russia allow it?

Considering that fighting with Iran means dragging Russia into the water, then World War III will officially begin.

Therefore, the United States is nothing more than sanctions and suppression, and it has never really meant it. (To be continued.) uw
