The traffic in the city is notoriously congested. Xiao Qi took a car from the suburbs to the city center, leaving at 1 o'clock in the morning. It actually took him more than two hours along the way, and he did not arrive at the mansion until 12:30.
Tang Quan had already sent someone to wait at the door. Looking at the car with the license plate number, he quickly led Xiao Qi through the entry and exit procedures and then took Xiao Qi to the canteen.
There are several canteens in the mansion. Needless to say, the food in them is not available to ordinary people anyway. But in the opinion of Xiao Qi, who has eaten several meals, it is actually just like that, and it is not the same as the ecological base of Fairy Farm.
Almost the same, but the price is indeed cheaper.
In the past two years, a series of reforms in the civil service have been implemented, and it is impossible for the canteen to spend money. However, the price of 3 yuan for a bowl of beef noodles and 5 yuan for a three-meat and three-vegetarian set meal is also
Very affordable.
Besides, there are also some meal subsidy policies, which actually cost nothing.
Xiao Qike did not go to the big cafeteria to eat, but went to the small private room to eat.
The big bosses in the government usually eat in small private rooms, just like officials in various places. This is not to be pretentious, but because they eat outside, and the people below do not feel at ease eating.
Entering the small private room, Xiao Qi only saw Niu Ruzheng alone, but the food was served, three meat, one vegetable and one soup, very simple.
"Uncle Niu, the traffic in this city should be rectified again!" Xiao Qi was not polite. He sat down and ate with chopsticks, complaining while eating, "Look, I came from the reservoir. Half an hour! This is not even the peak traffic congestion period! No wonder I heard that it is the city that spends the most time commuting to and from get off work on average.”
"It's not that exaggerated, is it?" Niu Ruzheng also picked up the chopsticks and replied while eating.
"You will know when you go abroad. New York, Tokyo, London, which city does not have better transportation than the capital?" Xiao Qi helped himself to some rice, "Another example is our Chengdu, whether it is morning or evening rush hour, it is very smooth.
. When you go down and take a look, I’m sure you’ll find it novel.”
"Are you trying to sell Chengdu's congestion charge rules?" Niu Ruzheng said with a smile, "Comrade Xiao Xu submitted the report before the Chinese New Year, and we all read it. We thought it was very good and practical. Regarding these plans implemented in Chengdu, the city
The Transportation Committee is also actively studying and discussing and striving to implement it within this year."
"That's right!" Xiao Qi said, "We should implement this kind of thinking more in life. If you have money and are willing to enjoy more, then give them the opportunity to enjoy it. Anyway, they will not be stingy with this small amount of money, so 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, just follow our rules and save energy as much as possible.”
"You can't say that. This is to allow more people to travel smoothly." Niu Ruzheng corrected Xiao Qi's statement.
Not mentioning the young man's secret nagging, Niu Ruzheng continued, "I'm calling you here this time. A group of people from their petroleum department will also be present in the afternoon to listen to your opinions. What do you think? Are you ready?"
"I'll just tell you. I'm a businessman. Isn't it awkward to discuss with people from their government system?" Xiao Qi expressed his opinion.
"They still believe in you." Niu Ruzheng said.
"I'm afraid it's not that I'm convinced, but that I want someone to take the blame when something goes wrong, right?" Xiao Qi shrugged, "If they succeed, it's their own credit. Anyway, I, an outsider, can't share the credit. If something happens
The mistake was my error in judgment, which led to their loss, and they have no responsibility."
"Can't you think better of others?" Niu Ruzheng frowned.
"Then can you guarantee me that they are not such people?" Xiao Qi also asked.
Niu Ruzheng paused slightly, obviously he couldn't guarantee it. Because many officials were like Xiao Qi said, they were afraid of taking responsibility for everything. As long as they were not responsible, it didn't matter how they suffered losses or failures.
After thinking for a while, he stopped his chopsticks and said, "But there are some things. If capable people like you don't stand up, the country will suffer more losses. I know your contribution, and Mr. Bian also knows it. The people also know it."
I can feel it.”
"If I didn't want to contribute to the country's rise, I wouldn't have gotten involved in this oil futures in the first place." Xiao Qi laughed again, "But as you know, my wives are pregnant again.
Baby, after all this calculation, I will have at least thirty more children. I will definitely put less energy into business in the future, and I won’t pay too much attention to something as exhausting as oil futures."
Niu Ruzheng burst into laughter and did not make a joke on Xiao Qi. However, there are probably not many people in the world who can have these dozen wives and twenty or thirty children, except for the tycoons in the Middle East and African chiefs.
"If you really don't want to discuss it with them, that's okay, but you can't hide your secrets." Niu Ruzheng said, "This matter is actually very important. Our China's oil purchase plan is long-term, and we can't just win a few battles before.
, just want to keep the fruits of victory. No matter how much oil is used, it will not work."
Just think about China's population of 1.5 billion, and you will know how many resources it needs to consume.
Petroleum is the lifeblood of industry, and derivatives are involved in every corner of life. Of course, the more, the better.
Xiao Qi was very happy when he heard this. 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 been far less volatile than in 2007 and 2008." Xiao Qi said eloquently: "Although the price will float around 6o9o, if you want to make a price difference, I don't think it is possible.
How necessary it is.”
"Oil at this price is indeed a bit embarrassing." Niu Ruzheng knew oil very well and nodded when he heard this.
Usually when a country buys oil, it is not like a company or an investor. A few yuan or a dozen yuan is already the boundary between profit and loss.
The country does not buy oil for investment, but for use, so the price sensitivity is not high at all. Usually, it only needs to maintain a reasonable price range.
Although the current floating amount of US dollars is still relatively large, it is actually not that important when it comes to other aspects such as freight, refining, use, etc.
Xiao Qi continued: "So if the country wants to control more oil, the best way is to skip buying in the oil market and instead buy from the country."
"State purchase?" Niu Ruzheng was thoughtful, "Are you talking about Iran?"
Then he shook his head again, "This is impossible!"
Iran's life is very difficult now. Although it guards the world's largest offshore oil field, since the financial crisis, they have been severely beaten by the United States in terms of finance and import and export. They will not have a hard time in 2009.
The US$55 billion oil purchase order from China became their life-saving straw. It was only because of these orders that Iran was able to hold on. It did not have domestic prices soaring like in its previous life, and it 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 have been placed before, and the deposit money has been paid. If you insist that China not buy oil, you are simply breaking up with China.
China is unwilling to offend the United States, but why is the United States willing to offend China? And the kind of offending that would lead to death?
However, this does not hinder some tricks of the United States. Last year, a top five Chinese commercial bank with a large amount of business in Iran was included in the scope of key monitoring by the United States, and the bank was refused global clearing business, causing
This bank was very passive, and in the end it had no choice but to admit defeat and withdraw from the Iranian market.
Then China's oil tanker industry was also heavily fined by the United States for various reasons on their business in the United States, with the fine amounting to as high as 500 million US dollars.
Of course, these two things are nothing, but the United States is also warning China. If you do any tricks again, be careful that I will really sanction you.
China does not dare to take risks, so it does not dare to have any business dealings with Iran in the short term, let alone purchase 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 buck the trend again.
They bought it.
It is hard for our great country to be forced to do this by the United States, but it is also a reality. If we want to get rid of the shackles, we can only work harder.
Therefore, Niu Ruzheng is more active in wanting to control more oil resources to avoid being controlled by others.
"How is it impossible?" Xiao Qi said with a smile, "Actually, it's very simple. Iran can no longer hold on. What they lack now is a step up. If China can do a good job in the middle, it can ease various confrontational incidents.
If we communicate with Iran, then the United States will not be so stubborn. After all, no matter how much trouble they make, if they want to attack Iran, they will have to break up with Russia. How can Americans do such stupid things if they are proud and expensive?"
The United States was actually like this in its previous life.
They yelled and killed so many countries. They were simply a troublemaker in the Middle East, but they never even thought about Iran.
There are supporting forces, such as Iraq's Sasha boss who went to attack Iran, but Iraq is still a bit weaker than Iran, and the United States did not succeed.
It’s not that they don’t want to end up, the key point is that if they defeat Iran, then the entire southwestern belly of Russia will be completely exposed to NATO’s encirclement. How could Russia allow it?
Considering that fighting Iran means dragging Russia into the water, World War III will officially begin.
Therefore, the United States only imposes sanctions and suppression, and has never serious intentions. (To be continued.) ◆You can get the view by clicking on the ground and cloud. ◆For mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
