After learning that Xiao Tianruo planned to go to the Persian Gulf to seek short-term crude oil relief, the answer from the other end of the capital after discussion was: Don't force it. (Dingding Novel Handwritten Novel)

Under such circumstances, even the capital can only worry. As a businessman, Xiao Tianruo goes to the Persian Gulf to compete for oil resources with European and American energy giants backed by aircraft carriers. It is not easy.

They verbally suggested that Xiao Tianruo try to think of other solutions, but the capital also understood that the only way to buy enough emergency oil before the domestic oil crisis broke out was in the Persian Gulf.

Lin Weimin, Lin Jinyan and a group of people were busy implementing the African oil negotiated by Xiao Tianruo. After thinking about it, Xiao Tianruo also left Li Tianyou in Tripoli. Of course, leaving Li Tianyou in Libya was not to give this follower a holiday. Xiao Tianruo handed over

One of his tasks is to collect as much information as possible about the current Libyan President Gaddafi during his absence in Libya. In particular, Gaddafi’s residence and travel information.

Li Tianyou was unable to obtain more confidential information, but it was not considered a big secret in Libya, so Li Tianyou readily agreed.

With the bodyguards and assistants assigned to him by the capital, Xiao Tianruo boarded the plane to Oman.

Unlike other Middle Eastern countries, although Oman's domestic oil resources are rich, most of them are concentrated in one oil field. It is precisely because it owns 50% of the shares in this oil field that China can continuously obtain Oman's oil imports.

But the current situation is that the Noor oil field jointly controlled by Oman Petroleum Development Company and China Energy was maliciously intercepted by the US military due to maritime transportation channels, and was forced to stop some production after the reserve was filled.

After flying to Muscat, the capital of Oman, Xiao Tianruo, in his dual capacity as the special representative of China Energy Co., Ltd. and the special representative of the Chinese government on energy issues, had a secret meeting with the head of the Oman Petroleum Development Company and the Minister of Energy of Oman.

"Sorry, my Chinese friends. The Americans have blocked the sea transportation lines and there is nothing we can do. If you can repel the US warships, we can ensure that the crude oil will be shipped to China as quickly as possible." Oman is also the biggest contributor to this incident.

One of the victims, the oil field has suspended some production. For the Omani government and Oman Petroleum Development Company, the losses are no less than that of China. The only difference is that Oman is worried about not being able to transport oil, while China is worried about not being able to get oil.

"Dear Minister John, can you have diplomatic negotiations with the United States to ask them to stop their current behavior? As you know, due to complex international political reasons, China is inconvenient to confront the United States head-on." Among the three people present, no one is holding back.

I was so angry. But there was nothing I could do. Who could let someone have a hard fist? If the skin wasn't thick enough, Xiao Tianruo would have wanted to swim over and scuttle the American aircraft carrier.

"The guns of the U.S. Aegis destroyer can hit this conference room directly." He shrugged with a grimace. China didn't dare to confront the United States, let alone Oman. "And this time the U.S. military partially blocked it.

In the Persian Gulf, the purpose is very clear, mainly targeting a few countries such as China."

Xiao Tianruo nodded and expressed understanding.

The Omani government definitely did not dare to fall out with the United States, and the capital also expressed its position on this. China now has to hide its capabilities and bide its time. Reluctantly, Xiao Tianruo set his sights on the chairman of the Oman Petroleum Development Company.

"I deeply apologize for the inconvenience caused to your country by the partial suspension of production in the Noor Oilfield. After traffic is restored, Oman Petroleum Development Company is willing to make up for the oil lost by China due to the suspension of production in the shortest possible time." The oil wells are jointly owned by companies from both countries.

All in all, China has stopped production and is still producing to supply Oman’s domestic needs. It is certain that they will be compensated afterwards.

After talking for more than an hour, there was no result. No one could do anything if the oil could not be transported. After thinking for a long time, Xiao Tianruo looked at the chairman of Oman Petroleum Development Company.

"I have a proposal. Your company will use the compensation money to build an oil reserve base near the north coast of Oman. After the oil reserve base is built, it will be owned by your company, but Huaneng has the right to use the reserve base. Of course, we will do this

Pay." Thinking about it, Xiao Tianruo made a proposal within his scope of authority.

China gave up real money compensation, but allowed itself to build an oil reserve base owned by itself, and the chairman of Oman Petroleum Development Company agreed on the spot.

After this incident, both the capital and the Omani government realized the importance of oil reserves. There is a plan to establish a three-million-ton oil reserve base in Oman (equivalent to two months' total output of China's equity oil in the Noor Oilfield).

It went smoothly and was confirmed by both parties.

It will take four or five months before the oil reserve base is partially completed and put into use. This reserve base is only built for long-term considerations and cannot solve the current problems.

He personally went to the Noor Oil Field in central Oman and looked at the rows of suspended oil wells. Xiao Tianruo sighed heavily. The crude oil that China urgently needs is here, but no one has the ability to transport the oil to China. The oil fields have stopped production, and Oman has lost money.

With a daily income of tens of millions of dollars, Xiao Tianruo had to comfort the grim-faced representative of Oman Energy Company next to him.

The Nuer Oilfield has temporarily suspended production, and Xiao Tianruo has no way to solve the crude oil transportation dilemma even if he stays in Oman. If it can be solved through diplomatic channels, there will be no need for the capital to send out several oil search teams all over the world to find oil.

After a series of discussions with representatives of Oman Petroleum Development Company on the future development of oil fields and oil reserve bases, Xiao Tianruo rushed back to Muscat, the capital of Oman, a few days later.

In Muscat, Xiao Tianruo got a lot of useful information. Among them, the most valuable one was that the Minister of Energy of Oman suggested that Xiao Tianruo can go to Saudi Arabia.

As an oil kingdom, Saudi Arabia's oil reserves account for 20% of the world's oil reserves. More importantly, as the most important member of OPEC, Saudi Arabia has huge oil reserves and oil production potential. Of course, if this is just the case, Saudi Arabia will not

It must be the best choice. The key is that, as the absolute leader in the oil market, Saudi Arabia is one of the few oil-producing countries that can bargain with the United States at the negotiating table. If Saudi Arabia is willing to provide China with much-needed oil, the United States will definitely not dare to blockade it.

Oman blocks Saudi Arabia like this.

After getting this information and communicating with the capital, Xiao Tianruo rushed to Riyadh, the capital of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, without stopping. There, Xiao Tianruo would come into contact with a super luxury club called the "Petroleum Club"dd
