Chapter 1388: Do you still have money

If we were to be another person, we would definitely be righteous. We are not afraid of threats. Nuclear bombs are all paper tigers. We were not afraid when we had nothing before. Now, we have advanced third-generation aircraft and advanced Tanks, electronic systems, are we still afraid of these?
In this case, Andre, who is on the opposite side, will definitely take the case, and this kind of negotiation will definitely break down.
Although it was very enjoyable to say that, Qin Guan still resisted it. After all, once the war really started, that was not Qin Guan’s goal. The country is still carrying out economic construction and needs an external stable environment. If the fight starts, Perhaps the happiest person is the Eagle nation?
Qin Guan's face was as calm as ever, and he said to the other party: "Modern warfare is about comprehensive national power. Do you agree with this?"
A businessman is now starting to fight, which makes people feel funny. However, since Qin Guan suddenly changed the subject and protested to Andre and others unexpectedly, he naturally felt that this was a kind of Concession, the Han people were afraid. They heard that they were going to conduct military exercises in the steppe country. They were afraid that they would turn the exercises into real wars.
Andre nodded: "Yes, it is impossible for a small country to fight a big country."
In his eyes, Han, which has just emerged from a decade of turmoil, is a small and poor country, and Xiong is a big country with great reputation.
"Recently, the continuous decline in oil prices has greatly reduced your income. Do you agree with this?" Qin Guan continued.
Andre frowned. Of course he knew what Qin Guan was talking about.
Why did you dare to wage war against the mountain country? To a large extent, the bear country was swollen in his pockets. At that time, the world's crude oil prices were soaring, which gave them ample treasury, which just happened to have a good opportunity to simply realize their strategy for hundreds of years. , Go south!
However, the situation does not look optimistic. They originally thought that they could end the war quickly, gain a passage to the south, and occupy the center of the world. What happened?
Up to now, the war has been fought for a full four years. In the past four years, how much money they have invested in, it has been in the water. If the international oil price is still the same as before, they can still stick to it, but it is different now. Now, international oil prices are falling all the way!
This is almost a cyclical one. In the mid-1970s, oil prices experienced a sharp rise. In this way, the oil industry in the West had to make changes, and the growth rate of energy consumption began to greatly decrease. In this way, the demand for oil began to decrease. Up.
At the same time, with the outbreak of the severe cyclical economic crisis in the Western world from 1980 to 1982, energy demand in the Western world changed from slow growth to negative growth, and the decline in oil demand was particularly large.
As a result, the previously vigorous oil industry began to show a crisis, and a comprehensive and serious overcapacity occurred. In the international market, oil has changed from short supply and frantic purchases to sales difficulties. Oil prices have turned from skyrocketing to falling, competition is fierce, and production has fallen sharply.
From 1979 to 1983 alone, in the past few years, daily consumption in the world market decreased by 5.9 million barrels, from 51.6 million barrels to 45.7 million barrels, which is equivalent to a reduction of one-ninth of the demand!
As a major oil export organization, OPEC has begun to limit production. Since production is surplus, it will reduce production and prices will naturally rise.
They went from the highest daily output of 31 million barrels in 1979 to the current daily output of 18 million barrels.
However, there are always disruptors. The Bear Country is one of them. If the Bear Country follows a reduction in production, it may increase the price of oil. However, the Bear Country does not have this vision. OPEC has cut production, and the Bear Country is just increasing production. In this way, Xiong Guo was bewildered by the immediate interests and continued to dump oil to the West on a large scale, which led to the continued decline of oil prices.
The bear country did not profit from the increase in oil production. On the contrary, their oil industry is now struggling. Because the price of oil continues to fall, it will soon approach the bear country’s oil extraction costs. At this time, even if the bear country continues Oil extraction is also a loss-making business. Hasn't the Xiong people discovered this fact yet?
If you call the other party right now, it can be considered as a way to increase your favorability and let the other party know that you are also kind to them. Andre shook his head. He originally wanted to say that you don't need to worry about our country's affairs. How do you know that our oil export revenue has decreased? We occupy a larger market share, we are the winner!
At this moment, what Qin Guan continued to say caused him and the economic experts who followed him to open their mouths.
"Because of your continuous increase in oil production, the OPEC country's production reduction plan did not succeed, so OPEC decided not to play." Qin Guan said: "This is the latest news I have received. They plan to increase oil production on a large scale. Among them, For example, the Happy Desert Country, they plan to produce at full capacity and increase their daily oil output from 2 million barrels to 9 million barrels."
The Xiong people only value their immediate interests. Now, they are shooting themselves in the foot. OPEC countries are seeing their own production cuts. As a result, the market share is occupied by the Xiong people. How can they be willing?
Speaking of oil extraction, they are very easy. For example, in the land of the happy desert, their oil wells are all high-yield self-sprayed crude oil. As long as they dig a hole in the ground, the crude oil will be sprayed up by itself. The extraction cost is very low, per barrel. They can make money even if they only have five eagle dollars.
However, the bear country will not work. The oil of the bear country is under the frozen soil of the plateau. The cost per barrel is almost more than 20 eagle yuan. Now the oil has fallen to 29 eagle yuan per barrel. The meat hurts.
Now, it is conceivable that if those countries increase oil production by a large margin, as long as a little economic mind knows, oil prices will definitely continue to fall!
At that time, did Xiong Country still have money? Without money, how are you going to fight? You burned so much money in the mountain country, don’t you know now? Fighting is money!
"They want to increase oil production?" Andre frowned and said.
"Yes." Qin Guan said: "They have already made a plan. They just want to continue to lower oil prices and completely destroy the oil industry of a group of unruly countries, so that oil prices may rise. , In our idiom, is called break and then stand."
Qin Guan looked at each other seriously: "Although we are also an oil exporter, our country's oil exports are gradually decreasing. Therefore, the impact on us is small, and I am afraid it will have a major impact on you. My good intentions, you have to be careful now."
