Chapter 1310 Terrible Consequences

Sergey Razov was shivering all over.

Although it was snowing heavily outside, there was heating in the room.

But Sergey Razov felt cold all over.

His heart was trembling, and his soul was even trembling.

When he thought about the possibility of losing the entire Chinese energy market and losing a large amount of stable income every year, Sergey Razov kept shivering.

That year, the two sides signed an agreement, and China invested in building an oil pipeline and a gas pipeline across the two countries to transport oil and natural gas from Russia and the five Central Asian countries to China.

This is definitely a win-win cooperation and a model of friendship between the two sides.

It is also thanks to this cooperation that Russia can exploit oil and natural gas in the Far East and the five Central Asian countries, and obtain a lot of income through the large amount of oil and natural gas exported to China every year, which is used to improve the people's livelihood in Russia and Central Asia.

Every year, China pays energy payments on time and in accordance with the agreement.

It is precisely because of so much energy income that Russia and the five Stan countries in Central Asia can continuously import a variety of goods from China and maintain a trade surplus with China.

If this part of the income is lost, what national economic development, national livelihood and social welfare can be discussed?

How difficult life was back then, it was less than ten years ago, and everyone still has a very deep impression.

Sergey Razov has no doubt that once China stops importing oil and natural gas from Russia and the five Stan countries in Central Asia, Russia's economic development will inevitably be greatly affected, and the five Stan countries in Central Asia don't need to talk about development. The Americans will inevitably take action in the five Stan countries in Central Asia on the battlefield in Afghanistan.

It may even cause the collapse of the five Stan countries in Central Asia.

The cost of offshore oil and natural gas extraction will be relatively high and more technical.

If it was said by someone else, Sergey Razov would just smile.

But Liu Tao's appearance in the news has a completely different meaning.

Sergey Razov naturally knows about Liu Tao. After all, the two sides have been dealing with each other since the late 1980s, and there are many cooperative projects.

The oil and gas projects of the two countries are funded by China National Petroleum Corporation, which is only a secondary group of Panshan Group!

And everyone knows that Liu Tao is the chief scientist of China.

Not to mention the importance of Liu Tao.

"No, we have to report to Moscow immediately!" Sergey Razov picked up the satellite phone. He did not use a landline, but a satellite phone because it is more confidential.

Not only Sergey Razov, but also the ambassadors of Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan were shocked when they saw the seven o'clock news.

They were shocked by this news and their hearts almost jumped out.

During this period, the five Stan countries in Central Asia and Russia were very happy together, negotiating through various means to force China National Petroleum Corporation to make concessions and accept the increase in oil and natural gas prices.

For this reason, they even threatened to cut off oil and gas.

As the world's largest oil importer, China consumes a large amount of oil and natural gas every year, and Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, and South Asia almost all rely on the refined oil and natural gas provided by China's refineries.

This will affect the whole body.

As long as the price is agreed to increase, even if it is doubled, the interests involved are very terrifying.

After all, for oil-producing and gas-producing countries, the cost is constant, and even with large-scale mining and optimized management, the cost is actually decreasing. Once the price increases, the profit will become greater, which is pure money earned.

The reason why the five Stan countries in Central Asia agreed to maintain the same front with Russia and one voice was issued, in addition to historical reasons, Russia has a huge influence in the five Stan countries in Central Asia. There is also a very important reason, that is, interests, and most of these oil fields and gas fields are in the hands of Russians.

If the price increases, everyone can make more money.

But when China announced the expansion of offshore oil and gas production, they had to think about a problem, that is, they may lose the Chinese market, and their oil and natural gas will become worthless.

In recent years, as the prices of oil and natural gas continue to rise, there is a force behind them that constantly hypes the importance of oil and natural gas, such as the world's oil is only enough for another 50 years or even only for another 30 years, and energy is the blood of modern industry.

It seems that no matter how much the price of oil and natural gas rises, it is justified.

But you have to know that China has vast land and vast sea areas, and China also has rich oil and gas resources.

It's just that in the past, due to mining costs and too fast economic development, oil and gas production could not keep up with the growth rate, and it was necessary to import oil and natural gas from the outside.

In fact, China's oil and gas production is also setting new records every year.

Theoretically, if China does not consider costs, oil is enough to meet the country's needs for 50 years, and as for natural gas, it can be used for even longer.

If Russia loses the Chinese energy market, it can still rely on exporting oil and natural gas to Europe and live, but it will not be as generous as it is now.

If the five Stan countries in Central Asia lose the Chinese energy market, who can they sell their oil and natural gas to?

It can't be sold at all!

What scares them even more is that if China gets angry and no longer takes other mineral resources from them, what should they do?

As soon as the news came out, the international crude oil prices and international natural gas prices fell in response while Europe and the United States were still open.

And it didn't fall a little bit, but a big drop!

All oil-producing countries and gas-producing countries held meetings to discuss countermeasures as soon as possible.

Affected by the US subprime mortgage crisis, the entire North America, Europe, Japan, South Korea, Australia, etc., were all dragged into the pit. Although countries announced rescue measures, they actually had no effect.

Countries don't say it, but the global financial crisis has actually broken out.

Everyone's life is not so easy.

According to the previous rules, in fact, after the energy demand decreases, the international energy price will fall accordingly.

This is the real market rule.

However, this year, the international energy price rose against the trend after a brief decline. There are invisible hands operating the market.

China has many channels for energy imports, not just importing energy from one country, but the decision to reduce energy imports from which country is in the hands of China.

After all, except for some countries, which signed long-term supply agreements, other countries do not have such an agreement.

And some countries that have long-term supply agreements have been very noisy before, wanting to modify the agreement and raise prices.

Now this signal is not good! (End of this chapter)
