Resource Tycoon Reborn

Chapter 239 My request

If we were to make a list of the most hated state-owned monopoly companies in China in Fan Mingyuan's previous life, I believe most people would put telecommunications companies and petrochemical companies in the top two. These two monopolies can be said to be in the same league.

The two biggest vampires of the Chinese people are constantly sucking wealth from the people to feed their insatiable appetites that can never be seen to the end.

Regarding these domestic petrochemical companies, the Chinese people simply don’t know what to say about them! When oil prices are low, they do not increase import reserves. When oil prices are high, they do not reduce imports. The most annoying thing is that the international oil price is 100

When the international oil price per barrel was US$40 or 50, the domestic oil price was almost the same! Moreover, when the world oil price rose, the domestic oil price immediately rose, but when the world oil price fell, the domestic oil price only listened.

The stairs were noisy, but no one came down. They put it off again and again, until the international oil price started to rise again, and they could justifiably raise the price. Moreover, the oil price increased every year, and they still suffered losses every year. They needed subsidies from the state. I really don’t know.

, what did they use that money to do?

Fang Mingyuan remembers clearly that in his previous life, China turned from an oil exporter to a net oil importer in the mid-1990s, and the import volume increased year by year. By the middle of the second millennium, China had surpassed Japan.

, becoming the second largest oil importer in the world after the United States, importing tens of billions of dollars of oil every year. Although later, the country also realized the importance of energy security and decided to establish a national strategic oil reserve, but by

At that time, the price of crude oil in the world had risen to tens or even hundreds of dollars. What was even more troublesome was that the Middle East had fallen into the hands of the United States, and oil shipped from the Middle East had to pass through the Strait of Malacca.

The relationship between several Southeast Asian countries and China has always been at odds, and China's crude oil import route may be blocked at any time. The country had no choice but to turn to Russia, but Japan tried its best to disrupt the situation. In the end, after nearly ten years of negotiations, the Antai-Dalian line is still

The moon falls in the water, the result of flowers in the mirror.

If the country can establish and improve the national strategic petroleum reserve before the collapse of the Soviet Union, when Sino-US relations are still relatively peaceful, firstly, it can increase domestic energy security, and with oil in hand, there will be no panic; secondly, it can also reduce

The foreign exchange expenditure spent on buying oil; thirdly, it can also be more confident when facing blackmail from external forces! Fang Mingyuan knows that it is difficult to change something in China. Even if he is a reborn person, he wants to

Fighting against the general environment may be like trying to fight the enemy, but watching the country repeat the old path of "history" makes him feel that his conscience cannot tolerate it.

During these days in the Emirate of Dubai, he did not think less about this issue. At first, he was just an ordinary person in an ordinary family. Although he later became slightly famous in Japan, his family also became slightly famous in Qinxi Province, and even more

Although he owns a considerable amount of private property, Fang Mingyuan only dares to make small fuss in Qinxi Province. At most, he can only do some things that go along with the flow and make things that are destined to happen in history happen in advance.

That's all. Participating in the railway reform process is a very risky thing for Fang Mingyuan. If Su Huandong was not involved, he would think twice.

But now that he has this extravagant wealth, Fang Mingyuan's confidence has immediately increased a lot. Even if all the existing domestic industries have lost money, even the US dollars he has on hand have all been wasted, and there are still investments.

The one billion US dollars in Kuwait and the industries in Japan, Hong Kong, and the Emirate of Dubai are enough to ensure that everyone in the Fang family will have no worries about food and clothing in this life!

Therefore, Fang Mingyuan wanted to try to officially change something...

"Why do you think so?" Su Huandong asked somewhat puzzled.

"Grandpa Su, you are the Minister of Railways, so you don't know much about the production and export of crude oil in our country. You can consult with the relevant departments whether our country's oil production has now entered a stable period and it is difficult to achieve rapid growth.

.In recent years, no large oil fields have been explored in our country, and those oil fields discovered in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China have been slowly depleted. However, our country's economy is developing rapidly after the reform and opening up, and the demand for oil energy

Demand is increasing day by day, and I believe this is most obviously reflected in the quantity of oil exports!" Fang Mingyuan said confidently.

"Take the oil price fluctuations caused by Iraq's invasion of Kuwait as an example. If we need to import a large amount of oil in the future but do not have strategic oil reserves, then the sudden rise in oil prices will have a huge impact on our country's economy, and may even

Like European and American countries, we have to fall into the quagmire of economic recession. From what I told you, Scomo Petroleum Company, Shikoku Petroleum Co., Ltd., Fudi Oil Holdings Company, they have to pay more than crude oil.

Buying crude oil at more than double the price is enough to illustrate the problem."

Su Huandong pondered for a long time. Although he did not know much about China's oil industry, he had just heard what Fang Mingyuan said. The three Japanese and British petrochemical companies were unable to perform their original contracts because of the occupation of Kuwait.

, and had to spend a huge amount of money to purchase high-priced crude oil, nearly 10 billion U.S. dollars, which is almost equivalent to one-third of China's foreign exchange reserves. How could such a precedent not shock him? And more importantly

Yes, he believed in Fang Mingyuan's vision. Over the years, everything he reminded himself of had already happened, or had its symptoms revealed, especially the turmoil in the Middle East, which was still in front of him. Therefore, for what he had handed over to him,

How dare Su Huandong ignore this report at all.

It's just that he is not the minister in charge of this area. It is very inappropriate and against the rules of official circles to reach out rashly. It can easily cause dissatisfaction from others. So even if he thinks that Fang Mingyuan is right, how can he send this proposal to him?

When you get to the leaders' desk, you have to think about it carefully.

"Grandpa Su, I have a request for the leaders." Fang Mingyuan said solemnly, "Grandpa, please help me convey it."

"What request?" Su Huandong asked in shock.

"When I handed over the gold mine to the country, grandpa, didn't you say that the leaders could agree to my request? Now I hope that I can fulfill it." Fang Mingyuan secretly clenched his fists and said.

Su Huandong suddenly realized that there was indeed such a thing, but at that time, Fang Mingyuan did not think of anything worth requesting from the leaders, and later the matter was dropped.

"What do you want to request?" Su Huandong sat up straight. This is an important matter that cannot be underestimated.

"Grandpa, this unexpected harvest can be said to have enriched my funds at once. I don't want to put this money abroad, but I want to transfer it into the country to support the country's economic construction!"

"Okay, this is a good thing!" Su Huandong exclaimed excitedly. Last year, China's entire foreign investment was only tens of billions of dollars. If Fang Mingyuan's funds can be transferred into the country, it will have a great impact on China's economic development.

The driving effect is simply unimaginable!

"Grandpa, have you ever thought about where I would invest such a large sum of money?" Fang Mingyuan said in a low voice.

In China's economic system, the fields that private enterprises can enter are mostly limited to light industry and commerce, such as railways, highway construction, civil aviation, shipping, telecommunications, minerals, steel, petrochemicals, automobiles, trains, finance, insurance, etc.

, all are not open to private enterprises. Even after opening to foreign investment, they are not open to private enterprises, causing private capital to over-invest in these fields and profits are repeatedly diluted.

In previous lives, the reason why large-scale speculation and speculation in real estate, agricultural products, and stocks occurred was largely because, apart from placing the accumulated private capital in banks, there were no suitable investment channels at all. Those who required large-scale capital operations

All industries are controlled by state monopoly capital. Sometimes, even if a small gap is opened, it will be forcibly closed quickly, causing the private capital that entered it to lose everything.

In banks, they can only endure the exploitation of essentially negative interest rates and watch the money on hand become worthless day by day. This is intolerable to people.

Su Huandong couldn't help but be surprised, yes, where would such a large sum of money be invested? Even if Fang Mingyuan planned to open Carrefour supermarkets and Fangjia restaurants in all first- and second-tier cities across the country, he would never use such a large amount of funds.

"Grandpa, don't say anything to me about depositing money in the bank, or buying national bonds, or saying anything that offends you. This is an insult to my ability. It's not that I don't have investment goals, Prince Abdullah and Prince Maktoum are sure

They will welcome me to invest in the Emirate of Dubai and rebuild Kuwait, and the return they will give me will definitely exceed the interest our national bonds and banks can give!" Fang Mingyuan vaccinated Su Huandong. If it really comes to that point, it might as well be

If you invest in Japan and Kuok Shipping Group, you will at least get more returns.

Su Huandong opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything. Fang Mingyuan was right. If such a large sum of money was placed in banks and bonds to earn interest, it would be very difficult for Fang Mingyuan, who had already earned such astonishing wealth at a young age.

To him, it was indeed like an insult, and he would never be satisfied with a little reward.

"Mingyuan, what do you want?" Su Huandong already understood Fang Mingyuan's intention of mentioning this matter again, and asked in the same solemn tone.
