Chapter 910 Oil Reserve

Moshi Military Industry is a very special entity among domestic military industry companies.

Other domestic military industrial enterprises develop whatever the higher authorities require.

Belongs to passivity.

Moshi Military Industry is a market-oriented operation, so you have to find orders yourself.If you want to get orders, you naturally have to have good products. The products have to attract people and make people think they are good, so people will buy them.

Therefore, Moshi Military Industry takes the initiative in developing new equipment.

There is no need to issue requirements for the research and development of various advanced equipment. Moshi Military Industry will conduct the research and development itself.

In addition, there is a specialized military research department within Moshi Military Industry.

It is a specialized study of what the future war will look like.

We must first know what the future war will look like before we can conduct targeted research on what kind of equipment is needed.

Demand determines supply!

Don't think that this is just an economic law. It also has great guiding significance in the development of military equipment.

During World War II, everyone urgently needed weapons that could destroy enemies on a large scale, and the weapons became more and more lethal anyway.

The ultimate weapon, the nuclear bomb, was born!
Two loud bangs in the neon sky, the world will never be the same again.

It was also the birth of nuclear weapons that enabled the world to usher in overall peace for so many years.

Local wars and so on are all trivial matters.

Anyway, for most of the world, war is not around, and there is not much empathy.

On the contrary, I will also comment on those various comments.

People from the Moshi Military Industry and Military Research Department appeared on TV to expand the influence of Moshi Military Industry.

Let other countries see that Moshi Military Industry understands war.

Moshi Military Industry, which understands war, is a message that it wants to convey to potential customers.

Military products must ultimately be implemented into battlefield performance.

No matter how good the PPT presentation is, no one can be sure what it is without going through the test of actual combat.

In fact, in the field of military equipment, it often appears that a certain piece of equipment with various data is unique, how advanced it is.

Just looking at the data and propaganda, it seems that the whole world will tremble under the threat of this equipment.

But in actual combat, facts show that it is a "look-alike" product.

He was directly beaten up by others.

At this time, Chen Huaiqing actually had no great curiosity about the war itself that was happening thousands of miles away.

However, this war had an extremely important impact on the global energy market.

The 20-year period of stable oil prices has officially ended.

In early 2003, oil prices officially exceeded $30.You know, in the past, the price of oil has remained at around US$20 for 20 years.

And after breaking through $30 this time, oil prices have been rising all the way.

Chen Huaiqing still remembers that when he was in high school, the news basically always reported oil prices, and it was common for oil prices to exceed one hundred dollars.

Chen Huaiqing thought about it seriously. It was between 07 and 08 that the oil price exceeded [-].

Meta Investment has made arrangements in the oil futures market.

Moreover, Meta Investment also invested in many oil fields in the past.

Even the exploitation of oil fields is handed over to Huaguo Petroleum and Huaguo Petrochemical.

The two companies are responsible for the extraction, but the extracted oil belongs to an oil company affiliated with Meta Investment, and the ownership of the oil field also belongs to this company.

Xiangjiang Yuantao transports oil to all parts of the world.

Yes, it is not only sold to China, but also sold in various other places.

For example, Europe.

Europe also discovered the North Sea oil field, but this one oil field is obviously not enough for consumption.

A large amount of oil must be imported from around the world.

Now that we know that oil prices will rise sharply in the future, what should we do at this time?

Of course it’s to save oil!

Buy and store at low prices and sell at high prices.This is a very normal business logic.

In ancient times, food was a hard currency, so people would hoard food for fun.

In modern times, oil is also a hard currency, black gold, the blood of social and economic circulation, and an indispensable thing.

"Now our oil reserve capacity has reached 6300 million tons. The total construction investment is 480 billion."

"According to the boss's instructions, our oil depot inventory is full, and the procurement cost is 1020 billion."

In the past, the reserves of oil depots were not too high.

There is no need for that.

Even, normally speaking, building an oil storage warehouse is unnecessary.

After all, in the past, global oil prices were generally quite stable.

The construction of oil reserve systems in various countries mostly comes from the oil crisis.

The first oil crisis in 1974 and the second oil crisis in 1979.

The economic impact of these two oil crises on Europe and the United States was considerable.

It also made oil-importing countries realize one thing, that is, they must have oil reserves to deal with the next oil crisis.

But since 1983, world oil prices have been stable for 20 years!
20 years is undoubtedly a very long period of time.

The time for a generation to grow up.

It is also enough to make people forget the unforgettable things in the past.

In fact, after a few years when oil prices stabilized, everyone began to build oil reserves slowly and leisurely, without being so urgent.

As for China, in essence, it does not have a deep understanding of the oil crisis.

That’s not right. Back then, the foreign exchange earned from oil exports was even more.

Mota Touchlight Petrochemical invested in building oil storage warehouses a long time ago, and it has never stopped doing so over the years.

With continuous construction every year, the total inventory scale will naturally increase.

The result is that one company built an oil storage warehouse that is larger than most countries in the world.

There is something wrong, I don’t know what to say.

In the past, Mota Touch Light Petrochemical always maintained a certain amount of oil in the oil storage tank.

Coupled with the recent purchase of some oil storage at the request of Chen Huaiqing, the average purchase price of reserve oil is US$25/barrel.

Based on the current oil price of more than 30 US dollars per barrel, these oil reserves alone have already made a lot of money.

Not much, just over 300 billion!

If the oil price rises a little higher, the money spent on building the oil reserve will be earned back soon.

In the past, in order to maintain the normal operation of the warehouse, Mota Touching Petrochemical had to subsidize money.

But now, I have made money back all at once.

Half of the oil reserves built are above-ground oil reserves, and the rest are underground oil reserves.

Nowadays, all the newly built petroleum storages are underground petroleum storages, instead of above-ground petroleum storages.

Globally, above-ground oil reserves are the mainstream, and the technology is more mature.

And why did Mota Touchlight Petrochemical build an underground oil reserve?
The first is investment. Compared with above-ground oil depots, they are much smaller. After reaching a certain scale, about 30% of funds can be saved.

For enterprises, if they save 30% of the money for the same thing, then there is no need to think too much about how to choose this matter.

In addition, the underground storage has other advantages, that is, the floor area is only 5% of that of the above-ground storage. At 40 meters underground, the safety is definitely higher than that of the above-ground storage.

The pollution is also small, and the operating costs are obviously much lower.

The requirements for geological conditions are relatively high.

But Huaguo is a big enough place, so there is no problem at all in finding a suitable place.

Underground oil storage is the mainstream technology trend in future development.

It is also suitable for China.

Every inch of land is precious to us.
