Chapter 425
August ended with waiting. By September, the clouds of war had gathered, and everyone felt the determination of the United States in this war.
The pace of war is approaching, and it is still related to two major oil exporters in the world...
Once a large-scale war breaks out, it will inevitably affect oil production.
When the demand for oil does not decrease but the supply decreases, it is normal for prices to rise.
In fact, Yinkela's oil can no longer be exported, and the United Nations has imposed economic sanctions.
As for the oil in Kotwe...
Now that Kotwe is under the control of Inkla, the oil cannot be sold.
Global oil supply became tight, and under such market influence, crude oil prices surged from September to October.
In the world crude oil market, smart money has already been prepared to take advantage of this surge to make huge profits.
If he invests and holds a lot of long orders, he will naturally make a lot of money.
However, Chen Huaiqing had already started to sell out when the price of oil rose to 30 US dollars.
Now Chen Huaiqing's investment philosophy is to stop when things are good and not make the last penny in the market.
If you really want to ship goods at the highest point of the market, you can still do it with a small amount of money, but it is simply not possible for you to invest such a large amount of money.
After completely withdrawing from the oil futures market, profits will naturally begin to be calculated.
The income this time was quite substantial.
In total, it actually earned more than 200 billion US dollars.
This is undoubtedly a bit scary.
Sun Congxuan knew that this speculation in oil would be very profitable, but she did not expect that it would be so profitable.
Seeing Sun Congxuan's appearance, Chen Huaiqing couldn't help but laugh: "Why, are you scared?"
Sun Congxuan rolled her eyes and said angrily: "Yes, I was scared."
It’s just money!
Chen Huaiqing sees money as numbers, isn’t that what she does?
Who are you looking down on?
Chen Huaiqing smiled and said: "This opportunity does not come often."
This is purely because of Chen Huaiqing.
Sun Congxuan held her forehead: "How can we spend so much money!"
Having too much money is indeed a happy worry.
"Later, when oil prices come down, we will buy oil company stocks."
Chen Huaiqing remembers that for some time in the future, oil companies will be at the top of the list of the world's top 500 companies.
Then, it will be replaced by high-tech companies.
Nowadays, the prices of various resource companies are relatively low.
The dragon has not yet taken off, and the demand for resources is actually not large, and most of the resources can be met domestically.
No need to import.
For example, China is still a net exporter of oil.
The turning point came in 1993. From this time on, China began to become an oil importing country.
Now this change may come faster.
Because Tianyuan Co., Ltd. has built a large number of petrochemical companies in Shanghai and surrounding areas, these petrochemical companies require a large amount of oil as raw materials for production.
"You say, how about we go abroad to buy oil fields?"
Sun Congxuan: "Are you optimistic about the future price of oil?"
"I have said before that I am optimistic about the future prices of resource minerals, which naturally includes oil. Now that the number of cars in the world is increasing, the consumption of oil will naturally become more."
"It is inevitable that oil prices will rise in the future."
The importance of energy goes without saying.
Petroleum is not only an energy source, but also a chemical raw material.
"We have too much money now. We need to turn funds into assets and maintain and increase value. I think buying a mine is undoubtedly a good choice."
"In addition to buying mines, we also need to invest more money in the development of Pudong."
Sun Congxuan: “Aren’t you investing in Shuchuan anymore?”
Chen Huaiqing smiled and said: "Of course we will still invest in Shuchuan. Shuchuan is used as a base camp for operations. However, investing in Shuchuan will not delay our investment in other provinces in China. Funds cannot always be placed in Shuchuan.
, now Shuchuan can’t even pick it up.”
Taking advantage of the opportunity to take the lead in enterprise reform, Shuchuan has taken the lead in economic development across the country.
"Speaking of investment, by the way, next week, the completion ceremony of the Yangtze-Shenzhen Expressway will be held. The Guangdong Province side has called me several times and wants to invite you to attend."
The Yang-Shenzhen Expressway went from project preparation to construction to completion very quickly.
The very simple reason is that there is investment support behind this project, so there is no need to worry about project construction funds.
During the entire construction period, there was never any stoppage of work due to financial reasons.
Except for the suspension of work due to extreme weather, all other construction activities are carried out normally.
Construction is also going on even in the summer.
We just adjusted the construction time. Naturally, there will be no construction at noon.
We started working at six o'clock in the morning and rested at ten o'clock in the morning.
In the afternoon, work starts at four o'clock and ends at eight o'clock in the evening.
Anyway, in summer, it gets dark very late, not until 9pm.
As for cement materials and the like, if there is a shortage of cement, then just build a special cement plant.
Don’t be afraid, with his investment behind it, anything that can be solved with money is not a big deal.
Under such circumstances, the construction of the entire Yangtze-Shenzhen Expressway has progressed quite rapidly.
There is no shortage of all kinds of construction machinery and so on.
Construction machinery that is rarely seen on other construction sites can be seen at the Yangshen Expressway construction site.
Some are imported, and some are domestically produced.
Chen Huaiqing: “It was built so quickly!”
"It's just over a hundred kilometers of road. No matter how long it takes to build, how long will it take?"
China currently has insufficient experience in constructing expressways. Guangdong Province originally planned to build the Yangtze-Shenzhen Expressway into an expressway with a daily capacity of 60,000.
However, under Chen Huaiqing's persistence, the traffic capacity has been greatly improved.
Directly built two-way eight lanes.
Of course, the investment amount has naturally increased a lot.
All lanes are constructed with a minimum speed of 120 kilometers per hour.
It is one of the highest standard highways in the country.
After the completion ceremony of the Yangshen Expressway, there will be a trial opening for half a year.
After the trial operation is over, toll collection will begin officially.
Chen Huaiqing did not even consider how much tolls could be collected on this expressway now.
Yangshen Expressway uses cement pavement, and the maintenance cost of cement pavement is much lower than that of asphalt pavement.
The cement highway built by Hans during World War II is still in use today!
Chen Huaiqing and Sun Congxuan went to attend the completion ceremony of the Yangshen Expressway.
Afterwards, everyone took a ride in the car and experienced the conditions of this highway.
Compared with asphalt pavement, the noise of cement pavement is indeed slightly louder.
The noise is a little loud, but it is not unacceptable. After all, it will only take an hour from Shenchuan to Yangcheng.
Saves time greatly.
