Ali, the Saudi Minister of mines, left angrily. This negotiation with the US broke down again.
The United States is determined to get this shale oil, which is also in the interests of the United States and its big consortia, but it is definitely not in the interests of Saudi Arabia.
Although Ali has said on behalf of Saudi Arabia that he will continue to deepen cooperation with the United States on oil, and even can give the United States crude oil supply lower than the international price, the United States does not agree.
The United States believes that energy strategy cannot rely on Saudi Arabia alone, which will make them be constrained by Saudi Arabia in turn. It's not just for the sake of interests that the United States has done so much in the Middle East.
If the United States can control Iran, Iraq and other countries, Saudi Arabia will be fine even if it quarrels with the United States. Saudi Arabia has a lot of oil and many other countries.
Saudi Arabia always wants to be the leader of the Middle East. Everyone knows that. Their biggest bargaining chip is not that they have the most oil reserves and the highest oil production, but that they are the birthplace of Islam. They have the holy city of Mecca, so they have a high position in Islamic countries.
Although Saudi Arabia has always said that it is a neutral country and does not participate in the war, it has not bought less troops and fires in recent years. For example, Israel and other countries are very threatening to them. In order to protect themselves, Saudi Arabia wanted to buy intercontinental missiles with the United States, but the United States did not sell them.
After all, the former Soviet Union supported Israel, so they found China.
At that time, the research and development of the intercontinental missile Dongfeng series of Huaxia spent a lot of money, and it was also the time when the poor Jingdong rang.
If Saudi Arabia wants to buy and Chinese want to sell, it's just like a match.
Then Huaxia sold thirty-five of them to Saudi Arabia at a high price of US $100 million. It is said that Huaxia also gave one as a gift. And help to complete the whole set of guided missile base ground construction, training related technical personnel, etc., the service is very good.
At that time, Saudi Arabia not only gave money, but also provided some advanced oil production and refining technologies to China, which was also urgently needed by China.
The total amount of this transaction exceeded China's foreign exchange reserves at that time!
It was also after that that that Saudi Arabia found the US unreliable. He began to establish frequent diplomatic relations with China. In order to balance the US, Saudi Arabia has established diplomatic relations with the island countries, which are also the world's top crude oil importers.
Although the relationship with the former Soviet Union is not good, even with Russia, Saudi Arabia still maintains normal diplomatic relations with Russia, and now has good relations with the EU.
Relying on oil and money, Saudi Arabia has established a huge foreign exchange network, just like the rich second generation smashed a circle of friends with money.
What does Saudi Arabia look like? Oil is cheaper than water over there. A full tank of oil doesn't cost more than six dollars, and the same amount of water may cost more than ten dollars. Their desalination technology is also the first in the world. At the same time, the amount of desalination accounts for one fifth of the world.
Desalination is very expensive. It's not a problem for them. It still has 24-hour water supply for people all over the country.
At the beginning, the missile base built by Huaxia for Saudi Arabia turned into a prosperous city after a few years.
At that time, Saudi Arabia bought the intercontinental missile of China. Is it really useful? Yes, it has a great effect.
Not to mention that at that time, there was no one in the big country with ICBM technology to sell. China was the first one. At that time, it was poor.
Then he led Iraq to capture Kuwait in a day and drove directly to the border of Saudi Arabia. At that time, Iraq's military strength, No.
But at that time, when Saudi Arabia released the video of their deployment of ICBM on satellite TV, Sadamu also counseled. They can directly use missiles to destroy Iraq. The range of the missile can be directly from Saudi Arabia to the Philippines, let alone hit your Iraqi home.
Since then, Saudi Arabia's position in the Middle East has been greatly improved. I'm not going to hit people, but nobody is going to hit me. If any of you think we have a small number of missiles, we will spend another $3.5 billion, or even $35 billion to buy another batch!
However, there are many countries that refuse to accept the leader of Saudi Arabia, who can only threaten and cannot do anything. But isn't that the old war there? Saudi Arabia will use money to smash, give food, give medicine and smash each other to support them in some matters.
This kind of local tyrant's practice is really effective. It is said that many economic aid provided by Huaxia to those small countries in Africa is for the same purpose as Saudi Arabia. I will give you money and your right to vote. Follow me.
In recent years, OPEC was established. Until it became the leader of OPEC, Saudi Arabia has been in a good way. Their relations with the major countries are all good. Relying on the treasure of crude oil, they are very heavy in the hearts of many major countries.
But this time, the United States is going to move their interests. If they don't say it, I'm afraid the U.S. thinks Saudi Arabia is a bully!
Ali reported the situation to Abdullah king, and Abdullah sent him back home. After returning to China, these political leaders discussed with each other and came up with a good idea.Some time ago, Iran and other countries didn't want to cut crude oil production. As a result, Saudi Arabia didn't agree at that time, and OPEC members didn't respond very much. They even started to announce the reduction of production, and then announced the increase of production.
Now the oil price is high. Do they want to exploit more and sell more money? Who knows when the oil price will fall?
This is also because there is no consensus among OPEC members, so there is no strength. Although their output only accounts for 40% of the world's total, they are the largest net oil exporter group!
Abdullah called other OPEC members to discuss crude oil production at this meeting.
Feng Yu heard that Saudi Arabia's big oil and mineral minister didn't reach a consensus with the United States. It is said that when he left, his face was very ugly. Moreover, there was no important news report about crude oil in the United States. He had determined that things should be done, and oil prices should rise sharply.
At this time, the price of crude oil, once again, has fallen below $90. Even many experts say that the price of crude oil may fall back to about $80, or even lower.
If OPEC is not involved in it, then this is a big possibility. After all, a lot of funds are going to fry gold. But as soon as the news came out, the result was self-evident.
Feng Yu calls Kirilenko, Fu Rongqi and others to prepare for a reduction in hedging, and crude oil will soar!
They have been staring at the international news. How come the good news from Feng Yu hasn't appeared yet?
Just as they were impatient to wait, OPEC announced publicly that from next month, OPEC's crude oil production will be cut, and a large number of production will be cut!
The news shocked the world!
