Chapter 1923 HuaRussia Oil and Gas Pipeline

“By the way, Feng, in two days the oil and gas pipeline in our two countries is officially completed, I was also invited to attend the completion ceremony, have you been invited?” Kirilenko remembered this and asked casually.

Huaxia and Russia have long been negotiating to establish this long-term and sound way of cooperating. Huaxia has worked so well with many countries, oil and gas, which belong to Huaxia's strategic energy channel.

Huaxia has a large population and is a major energy consuming country. Currently, Huaxia's oil and gas consumption is growing at a rate that leads the world. The speed of oil consumption can be seen in the growth of Huaxia vehicles.

In previous life, this cooperation agreement was only formally signed in 12 years, for a total of 20 years, with more than 150 tons of oil and 38 billion cubic gas per year, at the cost of pipelines alone, exceeding 60 billion euros.

Huaxia has also established hydrocarbon pipelines with countries such as Myanmar, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, as well as strategic energy channels in Huaxia.

Including maritime transport corridors, in cooperation with countries such as Africa and the Middle East, ensure domestic energy consumption.

It is also these strategic deployments that will enable Huaxia to use sufficient energy and reduce more polluting sources of energy, such as coal, and prohibit the incineration of traditional fuels, such as wood and straw, and protect the environment.

Many people say that Huaxia's oil is expensive, but they don't know how much oil costs just to transport it?

Does Huaxia have an oil field? Do you have plenty of stock? Not so good, but not so bad, there are many more to explore, but even shale oil, Huaxia has plenty of reserves and more sophisticated technology.

But Huaxia is now learning about other countries, and its own energy is not exploited, it is kept, and it is used for price regulation. Now that you have money, then import it. When the import price is too high, then exploit some yourself and force the other party to reduce the price.

Huaxia is about to become the world's largest importer of energy. If Huaxia says no more imports, then the other party must definitely reduce its price. Otherwise, the other party's energy will not sell, but it will also reduce its income.

Large exporting countries can control product prices, as can large importing countries, as long as they are able to sustain non-importing demand.

This Sino-Russian oil and gas pipeline was actually facilitated by Feng Yu and Kirilenko. Huaxia has grown rapidly in recent years, income has grown rapidly year after year, people's living standards have improved dramatically, and demand for energy has grown.

Russia, for its part, was wealthy during the period of the former Soviet Union, but then it went into poor bankruptcy. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Russia had not actually recovered its standard of living in that year.

Russia's pivotal industries, namely industry and minerals, earn their money by doing so. What other countries can do with real estate, finance, Russia can't play.

Lots of people and houses are not worth the price. There is a lack of trust in political-axe finance and financial revitalization.

As for science and technology, the former Soviet Union had some of the best scientists and engineers in the world, but when the Soviet Union disintegrated, most of them were dug up by foreign countries, including Huaxia.

Of course, because of Kirilenko, the little butterfly, Russia retains a lot of top talent, but Russia's development path is not very different from that of previous generations.

However, Russia was also working to revitalize agriculture and trade, which unfortunately had developed very generally. A place like Russia, though it's a lot of land, but the climate isn't very good. It's too far north.

They depend on the sea, but the route is not very good. Fortunately, there are railways in Europe that give them more options for their transport routes.

According to the saying, the country is poor, you can not do so well on some basic welfare, it takes a while to sediment accumulation, and the development is good.

However, Russia had never given up on that point, and welfare treatment continued to be targeted at developed country standards, which had led to frequent deficits in its finances.

In a country with such strong industrial technology, minerals are the largest income, and the real developed countries will not use this low-value-added raw material as their main income, even in the Middle East, they are also trying to develop the crude oil and chemical industry.

On the face of it, Russia has cut military spending, but it's actually doing a lot of investing, but they don't make a lot of money.

Now approaching the age of peace, all arms dealers in the US are bankrupt, but bankruptcy mainly produces guns ~ weapons, and those who build planes, missiles, and ships still make a lot of money.

In this regard, the island countries and South Korea are actually doing the best in the world. Combine civilian and military ~ use, while improving military ~ use technology, while making a great deal of profit in civilian areas.

In this context, Russia needed a long-term and stable cooperation order, which coincided with Huaxia as a major mineral importing country, so it joined Huaxia immediately.

Cooperation between the two sides has been limited and there have been many fluctuations. For example, Huaxia said you sold us oil and gas, so should you build this pipeline?

Russia said you were going to buy this, and you were supposed to invest in it. Aren't you building it in countries like Myanmar?

Can Myanmar be the same as Russia? If Myanmar swallowed these pipes, Huaxia would have let him spit out more. If Russia really swallowed up the scoundrel, would Huaxia still be fighting Russia?

So it was finally agreed, in whose territory, who was responsible for construction. That's when Russia said, "We don't have any money. What are we building with?"

Russia is rich, but not expensive enough. Ultimately, Feng Yu proposed a programme, which was also adopted by former Huaxia in cooperation with other countries, to provide a low-interest loan.

The so-called low-interest loans are essentially principal-guaranteed loans, and interest is roughly equivalent to the depreciation caused by inflation and does not earn money at all.

But being able to come back to this agreement, which guarantees Huaxia's energy stabilization needs, is still very affordable.

In the future, Huaxia will work with many countries in the Middle East and Africa to adopt such a programme. Huaxia is not bad money now, and it is easy to borrow tens of billions of dollars at random.

This cooperation involved not only Russian State-owned enterprises, but also the Polar Bear Mining Group. Moreover, pipeline construction in Russia involves investment by the Polar Bear Mining Group.

So Kirilenko was invited to attend the completion ceremony, and it is said that Feng Yu, who contributed to this, should also be invited, not to mention that Feng Yu is a major shareholder of Polar Bear Mining Group, it is normal to attend this.

However, Feng Yu told Kirilenko that he would not attend and that he was not interested in the matter. He was only allowing this win-win situation to come earlier, but Feng Yu speculated that if Russia did not cut public spending, once Russia was sanctioned by Western countries, it would be in the same recession as it had been in previous generations.

“Brother Ki, if you're interested, invest more in some food businesses, you Russians, this aspect is too dependent on imports, you can certainly make a lot of money if you do it. ”

As a reminder, as to whether Kirilenko understood it, Feng Yu did not say much, and Russia was not his homeland anyway.
