Niu Ruzheng went to the United States for a week before returning to China.
Specifically, in the news, we can only see that Niu Ru is visiting Washington, New York, and Los Angeles frequently, having friendly conversations, etc., but not many people know the actual content of the negotiations.
Few people have linked Iran's recent performance at the United Nations meeting with its arrogance.
It is said that Iran started to show signs of softening as early as late September. During several meetings with the head of the IAEA, he expressed his low profile, which made the group of people happy and thought they had gained.
victory.
Americans' attitude towards Iran is also very welcoming.
After all, Iran is so big and the place where the die-hards are the toughest. It is absolutely impossible to eat them up in one bite.
What's more, Russia is behind Iran. Even for Russia's national interests, it is absolutely impossible for Russia to allow Iran to turn to the United States.
If that happens, Russia promises to plow Iran again just like it did when it brazenly entered Afghanistan.
His Majesty the Tsar is not the military idiot leader he was before. His military quality is very high. If it comes to a confrontation with the United States in Iran, I am afraid it will be the United States that has the biggest problem.
Look at their performance in Afghanistan and Iraq. In the past, they always laughed at the Soviet Union for not being able to pull itself out of the quagmire of Afghanistan. But after they went into battle, they were even worse than the Soviet Union!
Therefore, the United States is now unwilling to confront Iran head-on, but has adopted a strategy of slowly subduing it.
Like this time's oil crisis, the United States took the opportunity to act very strategically, forcing Iran to the point where it could hardly hold on.
In September, Iran began to relent. At first, the United States thought that there was really nothing they could do. But after China and Russia launched military exercises, the United States suddenly let go of its attention.
Compared to China and Russia, Iran is absolutely insignificant.
Moreover, the United States has not let them off so easily.
However, after Niu Ruzheng came to the United States and conveyed China's intentions, the United States could only seriously consider it.
Iran is not terrible with the support of Russia. But if China also joins in, the United States will certainly not be able to ignore it. They will have to consider the impact that China and Russia will have on the situation in East Asia and even the entire Asia after China and Russia join forces.
Although the Persian Gulf in the Middle East is very important, it involves the layout of the entire Asia, so it is still not enough.
Because once China and Russia suppress Japan, South Korea, the Philippines and other countries, the next step will definitely be to attack the Pacific, and then they will directly confront the United States.
Although the United States is more than coaxing and looks like I will beat you if you don't mess with me, in fact they are only so tough on small countries. If they really start a fight with China and Russia, I guarantee that the government will immediately
Gotta step down.
Of course, we are now in a peaceful society, and it is impossible for there to be a large-scale war, but no one wants to see real flames of war between big countries.
Otherwise, you would not see that after Russia becomes tougher, not only the EU becomes softer, but the United States also becomes silent.
A single Russia is enough to make the United States so fearful, let alone joining a Chinese country!
Therefore, the United States held several meetings in a row, and after many big bosses argued fiercely, it was finally settled.
They put forward a lot of demands to Iran, and after strengthening some cooperation with China, the United States finally officially announced that it would conditionally lift sanctions on Iran.
Iran can continue to carry out any transactions that do not involve military aspects.
They also gave it a flattering name, saying that they "cannot bear to see the Iranian people suffer."
But the Iranians know clearly who caused this suffering. Although the country is cheering for the lifting of the blockade, no one is grateful to the United States.
There is also propaganda in Iran. Such results this time are due first to strong leadership, and then to the enthusiastic help of China and Russia. In this way, everyone has a deeper favorable impression of Russia and China, and they feel like "hardcore friends"
.
Under such circumstances, Iran's two largest oil companies also started taking action.
An Iranian national oil company announced that it will sell oil worth US$100 billion to China at a discounted price of US$60 per barrel.
The price of oil has now risen to around US$72, but without China, Iran's oil exports would not be able to proceed normally, so the Iranians have nothing to object to.
Anyway, Iran has a lot of oil, and if it is sold at a lower price, and it is sold to friends, there is nothing to worry about.
Another Iranian Southern Oil Company also announced that it will jointly develop an oil field in southeastern Iran with China National Petroleum Company. The estimated reserve capacity of this oil field is at least 500 million tons!
Such a large oil field is at least called a "super large oil field". Although it is not known how many shares China holds, the potential benefits are very difficult to estimate.
Not to mention making money after extracting oil, just saying that so many oil resources are available to China is very exciting news.
In the previous life, despite the fact that China was buying oil all day long, in fact, by the end of 2013, the country’s strategic oil reserves were only 35 days, while other countries’ reserves were only 15 days, and the rest were all
Stored among the people.
what does that mean?
This means that if China is blocked, it will be completely trapped in a difficult situation within two months.
Without oil, your car won’t be able to drive, planes will be grounded, and all kinds of industrial production won’t be possible. Isn’t this serious?
This is just about people's livelihood. If it involves war, the situation will be even more bleak.
There is no way. China is too big and has too many people. As a result, there are too many areas that need oil and more is consumed. Naturally, less oil is stored.
For the same number of days of strategic oil reserves, the United States has 160 days, Japan has 170 days, Germany has 125 days, and the entire European Union can also reach three months!
So in the past life, some people ridiculed on the Internet that if China's three barrels of oil were not more powerful, China would not even be able to guarantee the oil for people's livelihood. How could it be said that it could further develop and become stronger?
In this life, with Xiao Qi's help, the situation in China has greatly improved.
A large number of storage bases have been constructed in provinces such as Shandong and Liaodong. Oil purchased from various countries at low prices is also being continuously transported to the base. So far, the storage period has been increased to 50 days. The national storage in China has doubled.
About 30 days.
But this is far from enough. For a country as big as China and an oil-poor country, it must be guaranteed for at least 3 months, or even 6 months, in order to have sufficient room for adjustment to deal with various emergencies.
In order to achieve this goal, China has worked hard.
Do you think that all our donations to Africans are free? Do you not know how many professional teams from the mining and petroleum industries have entered those African countries after the donations?
It's just that these strategic layouts cannot be revealed in a year or two, but require long-term hard work, and the country cannot claim that we are donating for benefit, so there are so many people who don't know the truth and feel dissatisfied.
.
Then in the Middle East and Russia, with Xiao Qi’s support and guidance in the past two years, great progress has indeed been made. It is expected that after this batch of 100 billion US dollars of oil arrives, and Russian pipelines begin to transport
After the oil is over, China's strategic oil reserves should be able to reach more than 100 days.
Apart from the $100 billion worth of oil, this oil field is a complete surprise.
China did not expect Iran to be so generous and directly propose joint mining.
But after thinking about it later, I finally understood.
On the one hand, Iran is grateful to China for taking action, but on the other hand, Iran has its own agenda.
If this oil field is developed together with China, even if it encounters a blockade by the United States and Europe later, the oil in this oil field will not have to be sold by China itself. Doesn't the United States not allow them to transport it back?
Now is not the time to turn around in a big circle and pass through such a long distance as the Strait of Malacca.
First of all, Iran's neighboring country, Pakistan, has a large port, Gwadar Port, for China to use. Pakistan and China share a land border. If you really can't handle sea transportation, you can spend more and transport it directly from Pakistan to the northwest of China.
, there is nothing wrong with that.
Then the connection between China and Myanmar will become closer. The train from China to Myanmar will be opened in 2012 at the latest, and the survey work of the oil pipeline is also in progress. If it is determined to be built, according to China’s construction speed, it will take up to 5
This oil pipeline can be put into operation within a year.
At that time, China still needs to look at the faces of the United States and Europe?
Moreover, through long-term cooperation in oil, the relationship between Iran and China will become closer, which will be of great benefit to Iran's status and voice in the international community.
Originally, China was relatively friendly to its friends, much better than Russia. Spending a little oil profit to win over China would be a very profitable business!
After figuring this out, everyone including Xiao Qi sighed, as expected, there are no stupid national decision-makers in this world!
Iran thinks well, but China is also willing to accept it. After all, oil resources are China's most scarce resource. In order to obtain oil, China is willing to pay a high price, not to mention that it only has a closer relationship with Iran.
.
Only through mutual assistance and mutual benefit can the cooperation between the two countries last long! (To be continued.)
