Simulation: Great Power Technology

Two days later, business delegations from the two countries in the energy sector kicked off their first talks.

This time the meeting was still conducted online. Although the other party strongly requested to organize an on-site meeting in a third country, Huaxia completely ignored the other party's request.

The conference organizers had only one sentence to answer them:

I am where I am.

In desperation, the ugly country finally accepted the online meeting.

They dispatched representatives of companies from a number of energy giants, especially oil giants, as well as relevant important official personnel. There is only one issue they intend to discuss, and that is how to stabilize the current world crude oil prices.

Neither Chen Hao nor Ye Zhou participated in this meeting. One of them was busy promoting the establishment of the quantum computing project personnel list, and the other was busy following up the manufacture of Qilian engine and turbofan-20 engine, and neither of them planned to put their energy into this meeting. Although important, but not so important meeting came up.

The video conference started, and everyone from the Huaxia conference delegation appeared on the screen.

"Hello everyone, I don't need to talk much, we'll go straight to the topic of today's meeting."

"First of all, I would like to introduce the agenda for this meeting."

"This meeting consists of three parts. First, the discussion on recent fluctuations in international oil prices; second, the discussion on how to maintain the orderly operation of international oil prices in the follow-up; Discussions on cooperation in various aspects such as finance.”

"The total estimated duration of the three agendas is 6 hours, the first and second issues are one hour respectively, and the third is 4 hours. Please confirm whether there is any objection. If not, then we will directly enter the discussion."

The person talking was the negotiator from China. His eyes swept over the representative of the ugly country on the screen. After only a few seconds of pause, he immediately opened his mouth to announce the start of the meeting.

The first person who raised his hand to speak was the business representative of Mobil Oil. He looked directly at the camera with a serious face, and then said:

"We have noticed that with your intervention, the current oil price has fallen below 10 dalles per barrel, and there are signs of further decline. We believe that if no measures are taken, in a very short few days, The price of oil futures is about to fall below the positive value. I would like to ask if you can take responsibility for this situation? Or I will be more blunt: such a situation is not good for both of us, and for your purpose After that, can oil price stability be restored in the shortest possible time?”

The Mobil representative's tone was hard, but anyone could hear the meaning behind his words.

That's right, you Chinese people are awesome. We can't help the oil price to this level, but the problem is that such low oil price damages our common interests. You can't just leave it alone, right?

If you have any purpose, then come out and talk about it as soon as possible, and restore the oil price after the negotiation, so as not to affect the profit of both of us.

The officials of the ugly country looked at the representative of Mei Foo. They were different from these businessmen. They considered the overall interests more, and the representative of Mei Foo had already put his own position in the mouth as soon as the words were exported. Next.

Looking at people's faces to eat, this negotiation still needs to be discussed?

Just as their officials thought, as soon as they heard this, Huaxia immediately had a bottom line.

The tone of this negotiation has been set, so there is no need to adjust the strategy next.

As long as we stick to our dominant position, it is good to use a strong attitude to make interest demands.

Thinking of this, a man sitting in the corner tapped the keyboard lightly, and then, an order was passed to the small screen on the table of a certain person in the venue. The person glanced at the screen and replied:

"We don't think the so-called oil price position is bad for us. You know, everyone, our oil reserves are very low compared to yours, and even the per capita oil reserves are even four of yours. Not even one part.”

“Is low oil a bad thing for us? No. We can take this opportunity to expand our oil reserves to deal with some extreme scenarios that might happen.”

When it comes to the words "extreme situation", the spokesperson deliberately made his tone a bit more serious, and the officials of the ugly country on the screen turned pale, and one of them quickly replied:

"We believe that under normal and stable oil supply, the extreme situation you are worried about will not occur. We can guarantee this in advance."

"Understood. Your attitude is very sincere, so we also have a question: If oil prices continue to run low, how much will it affect you?"

The representative of Mobil looked at the camera helplessly. He knew that the other party was asking knowingly, but he had to answer.

"The impact is very big. If this continues, related companies on both sides of you and I will face a lot of loss of profits, unemployment, and even bankruptcy."

"Oh? Is that so?"

The spokesman looked at the business delegation on the side, where the representatives of the two oil and petrochemical companies were sitting there.

Seeing the eyes of the spokesperson, representatives of the two companies replied:

"Our company's cash flow is abundant, and even if it continues to lose money, it can guarantee stable operations for three to five years."

"We can guarantee it for five years."

The speaker nodded with satisfaction, then looked back at the screen and said:

"So, the situation may not be as you think. Oil remains at a low level, and the damage to you may be much greater than the damage to us, right?"

"Our new energy layout is in a leading position in the world, and we are more prepared for the drop in oil prices."

"In this negotiation, we are not trying to solve our own problems, but to solve your problems. Do you agree with this sentence?"

".Agree."

The representative of the ugly country answered with difficulty.

His heart was full of unwillingness. He couldn't imagine that one day he would be in such a situation of being restrained everywhere, but there was no way, he also had a task on his body, and if he wanted to complete the task, he had to accept such pressure.

"Very well, now that the basic positions are clear, I think we can actually start meaningful talks."

After all, the spokesperson took out the document and began to read to the other party China's analysis on the recent drop in oil prices.

All these analyses have been written in a high-sounding manner. What new energy sources have impacted the traditional energy market, what international speculators are suppressing oil prices for profit, what major oil-producing countries’ economic conditions have declined in advance of overdrafting productivity, and what new oil fields have been put into operation

One sentence after another, it seems to be the story of someone else's house, but everyone present knows, isn't this what you rabbits did?

The impact of new energy on the fossil energy market is caused by your sulfur-silicon batteries; international speculators are making profits, and it is likely that your layout in the futures market; the overdraft of productivity by major oil-producing countries is also due to the agreement. How many missiles; and as for the new oil fields to be put into operation?

You have all won the military port of Sudan. Is there anyone who doesn't know what happened to you in the oil field?

After listening to the report, everyone could not help but have an idea in their hearts.

This rabbit isn't analyzing, it's almost demonstrating.

It's a way of telling the other side of the negotiation that, you see, we've done so much that we can all tell you, and we can do more.

As for whether to do it or not, it depends on your sincerity.

After a long time, the speaker finally finished reading the report, and the time for the first topic just ended.

Seeing this situation, the other party had no choice but to move on to the next issue.

"So, do you have the confidence to restore oil price stability in a short period of time? Our request is to restore oil prices to more than 50 gau per barrel at least within a month."

"We can, but we need your cooperation?"

"How do we need to cooperate?"

"It's simple, let go of swift restrictions."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present fell into silence.

swift, the most powerful and effective tool in the field of international finance, has assumed extremely important functions since its inception.

It is not only a standard message for international settlement, nor is it just a financial instrument, but more importantly, it represents a system.

Dole-petroleum-gold system.

Since the Bretton Woods conference, this system has never been shaken, but has become more stable.

And now, this system has ushered in its first challenger.

Chinese.

They put forward their demands bluntly, if not to completely smash this system, but to insert their own imprint in this system.

If the restrictions of swift are truly released, and it is used as a simple and commercial message system that is open to the world and can be used by any country, then the standard status of Swift in the world will face the most direct challenge. .

With that comes a challenge to financial dominance.

After a full minute of silence, the representative of the ugly country asked:

"When you let go, what degree of letting go do you mean?"

"You can talk."

A Huaxia spokesperson replied simply.

This answer made the other party breathe a sigh of relief. At least, what they asked for was not a comprehensive and uninterrupted release, which at least gave them room to turn around.

"We need to have an internal discussion on this topic, and you can add it to the next agenda as a separate argument. But what we want to confirm is, can you restore the price while maintaining the status quo for the time being?"

"It's not difficult."

The speaker nodded and continued:

"Actually, if you want to restore the price, you can even rely on yourself, but you don't plan to pay extra for this, do you?"

"Yes, it's a very real factor."

"Well then, I'll give you a brief introduction to some of the strategies we can implement, and after the strategy introduction, we'll move on to the third part of the discussion."

"We need to discuss what kind of sincerity you need to show for us to make these strategies."
