C1388 Do You Still Have Money

If it were someone else, they'd be serious. We are not afraid of threats, even nuclear bombs are paper tigers... We were not afraid when we had nothing, but now... We have advanced 3rd generation machines, advanced tanks, Electronic System, would we still be afraid of these?

If that's the case, then Andre on the opposite side will definitely slam the table and stand up. This kind of negotiation will definitely break down.

Although it was very satisfying to say it like that, Qin Guan still held it in. After all, it wasn't Qin Guan's purpose to start a war. The country was still in the midst of economic development and needed a stable external environment. If a war broke out, perhaps the people from Y Country would be the happiest?

Qin Guan's face was as calm as ever. He said to the other side, "Modern war is fought against the comprehensive national power. Do you agree with this?"

One. A businessman had started a war now. This was funny. However, since Qin Guan had suddenly changed the topic, he did not protest to Andre and the others as he had expected. In the other party's eyes, he naturally felt that this was a form of concession. Han people was afraid. He heard that they were going to conduct a military exercise in M Country. They were afraid that they would turn this exercise into a real war.

Andre nodded. "That's right. It's impossible for a small country to fight against a large country."

In his eyes, Han Country, which had just walked out of the chaos for ten years, was a poor country. Bear Country was the famous big country.

"Recently, the price of oil has been dropping continuously, causing your income to be greatly reduced. You agree with this, right?" Qin Guan continued.

Andre frowned. Of course, he knew what Qin Guan was talking about.

Why did he dare to start a war against Mountain Country all those years ago? It was to a large extent because of the fact that Bear Country was full of money at that time. At that time, the price of crude oil in the world was high, which made their national treasury abundant. Now that there was a good opportunity, they might as well implement their hundreds of years of strategy. Go south!

However, the situation did not look optimistic. They originally thought that they could quickly end the war, obtain a channel to the south, and occupy the center of the world, but what happened in the end?

Up until now, the war had been going on for four whole years. In these four years, they had invested a lot of money... If the international oil prices were still the same as before... They could still persevere, but it was different now... Now, the international oil prices were dropping all the way!

This was almost a cyclical period. In the mid 70s, oil prices experienced a huge rise. Like this, the oil industry in the west had no choice but to undergo changes, and the rate of energy consumption began to drop drastically. This way, the amount of oil needed began to decrease.

At the same time, a serious periodic economic crisis erupted in Western World from 1980 to 1982. The demand for energy in Western World changed from slow growth to negative growth, and the oil demand was especially large.

Hence, the oil industry that was flourishing in the past began to show signs of crisis. A comprehensive and serious production overflow occurred. In the international market, petroleum from a lack of supply to a crazy demand became difficult to sell. The price of oil went from soaring to falling, the competition was fierce, and the production fell drastically.

Just from 1979 to 1983, in the past few years, the world market's daily consumption had decreased by 59.9 million barrels, from 51.6 million barrels to 45.7 million barrels, which was equivalent to reducing the demand by one-ninth!

As the main oil exporting organization, OPEC began to limit production. Since the production was overdue, it would reduce production, and the price would naturally rise.

From the highest daily production of 31 million barrels in 1979 to the current daily production of 18 million barrels.

However, there were always troublemakers. Bear Country was one of them. If Bear Country reduced production as well, it might increase the price of oil. However, the Bear Country did not have such foresight. OPEC had reduced its production. Bear Country just happened to increase their production. Just like that, Bear Country was confused by the benefits in front of them. Continuing to sell oil to the west, this caused the price of oil to continue to drop.

The Bear Country did not gain from the increase in oil production. On the contrary, their oil industry was already struggling. Because the oil price continued to fall, it would soon approach the cost of oil mining in Bear Country. At this time, even if the Bear Country continued to mine oil, it would be a loss. Could it be that the people of Bear Country had not realized this fact?

I will now give them a pointer to increase my favorability. He would let them know that he had done them a favor. Andre shook his head. He had wanted to tell them about the matter of our country. You don't need to worry about it. How do you know that the income of our oil exports has decreased? We have occupied a larger portion of the market, and we are the winners!

At this moment, Qin Guan continued to speak, making him and the economists who followed him open their mouths wide.

"Due to your continuous increase in oil production, the OPEC country's production reduction plan did not succeed. So, OPEC decided not to play anymore. " Qin Guan said, "This is the latest news I got. They plan to increase oil production on a large scale. Among them, such as Happy Desert Country, they plan to start producing at full speed. Increase their daily production from two million barrels to nine million barrels. "

The people of Bear Country only cared about the benefits in front of them. Now, they were throwing stones at their own feet. When the OPEC saw that their own production had been reduced and the market share had been occupied by the people of Bear Country, how could they be willing?

Speaking of oil mining, it was very easy for them. For example, in the Happy Desert, their oil wells were all highly produced and self-ejecting crude oil. As long as they dug a hole in the ground, the crude oil would spray out by itself. The cost of mining was very low, even if each barrel only cost five hawk dollars. They could also make money.

However, the Bear Country was not good enough. The oil in the Bear Country was all under the frozen earth of the plateau. The cost of each barrel had almost exceeded 20 hawk dollars. Now, the oil had fallen to 29 hawk dollars per barrel. It had already hurt the Bear Country.

Now, it could be imagined that if those countries increased their oil production by a large margin, as long as they had a slight economic brain, they would know that the oil price would definitely continue to fall!

At that time, would the Bear Country still have money? Without money, how do you plan to fight a war? You have burned so much money in the Mountain Country, don't you know now? Fighting a war is fighting for money!

"They want to increase oil production?" Andre frowned and said.

"Yes." Qin Guan said, "They have already made a plan. They want to continue to lower the price of oil. They want to completely destroy the oil industry of a group of countries that did not follow the rules. Only then will the oil price have a chance to rise. In our language, it is called breaking and setting up. "

Qin Guan looked at the other party seriously. "Although we are also an oil exporter, but the oil that our country exports... It's gradually diminishing, so, the impact on us is very small... I'm afraid it will have a huge impact on your side. I'm just being kind. You have to pay attention to it right now. "0
