Great Power Technology

Chen Hao on the other end of the phone didn't seem to be surprised at all by Ye Zhou's question. He didn't answer directly, but asked:

"Are you sure you want to participate in this thing? The reason why I didn't report it to you specifically before was because I was worried that it would involve too much of your energy. You are already busy enough now, and Iron Man won't be able to bear it if I put more pressure on you."

Ye Zhou smiled and replied:

"You think too much, I don't care, I just remembered this matter and was a little curious."

"Besides, technological development must also adapt to long-term planning. If I don't know what you are going to do, how can I arrange the next technological output?"

After hearing Ye Zhou's words, Chen Hao sighed helplessly and said:

"Then go and turn on the computer now. I will send you the overall plan. You can take a look at it yourself."

"Okay, give me two minutes."

As he spoke, Ye Zhou trotted all the way back to the room. After turning on his computer and connecting to the private network, Chen Hao's document happened to be sent over.

Ye Zhou slowly flipped through the documents and transferred the call on his mobile phone to the computer meeting. Chen Hao, who saw Ye Zhou's screen, began to explain each step of the plan to him remotely.

"First of all, I would like to explain to you the ultimate purpose of this entire plan: Our goal is not to make money through the futures market, nor is it to increase our oil reserves at low prices, but to obtain oil exploration rights."

"Or, control of the world oil market."

"You know, there has been a saying that has been circulating internationally, that is, the fundamental purpose of the ugly country's action against iraq is not to fight terrorism, but to obtain iraq's oil. This statement is correct, but it is also wrong."

"It's true because this matter is indeed related to oil; it's wrong because oil itself is not the main event in this matter."

“Essentially, they are trying to improve the international economic system of petroleum, Tole and gold, thereby strengthening the binding relationship between Tole and gold, and thus stabilizing Tole’s status as an international standard currency.”

"As long as Dole's international standard currency status can be firmly established, they can continue to use endless economic means to attack other competitors. I think you should be aware of this."

"Whether it is the previous Swift crisis, the subsequent release of 50 million barrels of crude oil reserves, or the so-called OFAC restrictions, in fact, fundamentally speaking, they are all due to its currency's standard currency status."

“So, only by truly breaking each other’s standard currency status can we truly be unfettered in the international trade market.”

"We have worked hard to achieve this."

"The Huayi contract, Softmei currency settlement terms, technical cooperation, ocean transportation cooperation, cross-border oil pipelines, etc."

"But, to be honest, these measures have not really changed the current situation. The reason is that the other party's advantage of striking first is too great."

"Currently, most of the world's oil producing areas are already under the control of their multinational companies. It is really difficult for us to break this control."

"So we're always looking for a way to really break through."

"We have two main directions. First, new energy substitution; second, looking for new oil producing areas."

“There are always difficulties in these two directions, such as the new energy field. In fact, before the emergence of your sulfur-silicon battery technology, our existing technology is simply not enough to allow existing energy storage methods to completely replace traditional fossil energy. Energy storage.”

"A very simple example is that traditional oil vehicles still occupy a vast market and have a large number of fans. This is easy to understand, because new energy vehicles are far better than conventional vehicles in terms of mileage and charging speed. Get on the gas truck.”

"No matter how much energy we spend to promote things that are unacceptable to the public, the final results will be limited. We desperately need an energy storage medium solution that can completely change the new energy landscape - judging from the current situation, That’s your sulfur-silicon battery solution.”

"I won't go into details about the impact of this plan, and will go directly to the next direction, about the issue of new oil production areas."

"You know, traditional oil-producing areas are basically concentrated in the Arab region, but in fact, there are too many places with oil in the world. The only problem is that they have not been developed."

"Since the beginning of the last century, we have begun operating activities in a series of key industrial resource-producing areas, including oil, including but not limited to Africa, Latin America, and West Asia. The most important of them is Africa."

"We have put in a lot of effort, even using huge amounts of foreign exchange resources, and even buried the bones of many explorers on that land, and then we have to bear the slander from some people in the country."

"Why don't you use the money to help the poor? Why don't you give it to Africans? Why don't you send it to me? I think you should have seen a lot of it on the Internet."

"But even in such a difficult situation, we never backed down."

"Everyone can see the current situation. In that hot land, we have iron ores, coal mines, railways, and even ports and bases."

"More importantly, now, we have oil."

"Some time ago, Sudan announced that it would bid for the priority exploration rights of 7 billion barrels of oil in the country. The main competitors are us and China."

"As for the ugly country, their approach is very simple and crude. That is, they have lifted the 30-year-old economic restrictions on Sudan, opened up the international financial system, lifted the trade ban, and provided a huge amount of humanitarian aid."

"This is an extremely exaggerated show of goodwill - of course, this is also based on their previous unfriendly attitude."

"Think about it, if a person has been giving you a big mouth every day for a long time, and suddenly one day, he gave you a candy, would you feel grateful?"

"This is the situation we are facing now. Sudan has gradually turned to them."

"We have to offer stronger terms in exchange for what we want."

"Originally, our plan was to provide the other party with a large amount of economic assistance and infrastructure assistance. However, such a plan has obvious disadvantages."

"In a relationship between two people, if you just give in blindly, you will definitely not get good results in the end. Instead, you will be regarded as a licker? Right? That's what the word says, right?"

Hearing this, Ye Zhou hummed and motioned for Chen Hao to continue.

Chen Hao at the other end of the video picked up the water glass and took a sip, then continued:

"So, what we have to do is to give both kindness and power."

"We want them to feel the pressure. On the other hand, we also want to take root in their hearts a concept, that is: Only China can save them, and only we can let them live and live well!"

"So, there are two main things we have to do."

"The first point is to use the impact of silicon-sulfur batteries to significantly suppress international oil prices in a short period of time, until they drop below negative numbers!"

"We need to use such price shocks to make them think that relying solely on resource exports has a bleak future, so they can seek to develop new industries."

"The second point is that we need to help them build new industries - mainly the photovoltaic industry."

"In fact, Sudan is a country with extremely abundant light energy resources. However, due to many disadvantages of our previous photovoltaic solutions, including insufficient energy storage, slow charging and discharging speeds, etc., this solution has not been recognized by them."

"Now, everything has changed."

"As long as silicon-sulfur batteries can be successfully put into production, all the difficulties in these industries will cease to exist. They will no longer have any reason to reject our proposal, because our solution is the best solution!"

"We will help them build the world's largest photovoltaic system in the next few years in exchange for the rights to exploit their underground oil, plus other more resources we need."

After finishing speaking, Chen Hao breathed a deep sigh of relief.

After a pause, he said:

"So, you should be able to understand now, right?"

"Our ambition is certainly not just to make some money from the financial markets."

"What we want to do is to completely change the hands of the world's energy."

"We are not only to be the rulers of the new era, but also the buryers of the old era!"
