"Uh? This? It seems that China Petroleum has been in contact with them, right?"

"Well, there is contact, but there has been not much oil imported from there. Now we have stocked up a lot of goods. This is the salary they give us, and it is difficult for us to handle..."

When Liu Jin said this, Xiao Feng understood that the relationship between the country is now paying off debts with goods.

Previously, this country was quite cunning. If you owe China 50 billion US dollars, don’t ask for it. I’ll pay off one of our islands to you.

But don’t even look at where that island is located?

It's really not very authentic to just beneath the eyes of the United States and want China to take away their chests from the fire.

Now Mao Xiong has participated in it. In order to help President Ma maintain stability, many contractors have been sent over, but the problem is that Mao Xiong’s support is not unlimited.

The contractors sent to also have to eat meat, so the bears cannot pay out of their own pocket.

But President Ma did not have the money to support such a group of old men, but it would not work if he didn't support him. In the end, he came up with a way to pay his salary with oil.

If it was a few years ago, this could definitely be a good idea, and oil prices were approaching that time.

But now the United States has become an oil exporter, and the global oil prices have always been low. President Ma used it to pay off his debts, which made Mao Wang a little overwhelmed.

Moreover, the quality of oil in Venezuela is not very good. In the past, when oil prices were high, some poor countries didn’t care much. As long as the price was cheap, they could drive, so they would buy it.

But now the oil price is so cheap, who can buy your poor quality oil?

Even the big country with oil shortages, China does not look down on Venezuela's oil.

After taking over the Copper Kingdom, especially after taking over the Ithaca region and getting the Kalapag Islands, Xiao Feng also thought about doing oil business.

After all, this place is very close to Venezuela, and Venezuela is one of the few countries in the South American continent that produces oil, and its reserves are still very large, so he was thinking.

It should be very interesting to do oil business here.

But unexpectedly, after he studied and understood the oil situation in Venezuela, he stopped this idea.

Speaking of the oil fields in Venezuela, it has been mined for nearly a hundred years.

It was first mined at the beginning of the last century. After the American oil giants divided the domestic oil field production areas, they turned their attention to the Gulf of Mexico.

I went to Mexico to build a lot of oil fields, and then took a fancy to South American countries along the Caribbean Sea. I finally found a rich oil field in Venezuela.

Then the oil giants divided the oil fields through various means.

Until later, a strong man from the State of Venezuela found Cha, who drove away all the foreign oil companies, nationalized all the oil fields, and collected them under the name of the State of Venezuela Petroleum Company PDVSA.

At that time, Cha's reputation was at its peak, and international oil prices were high at that time, so Venezuelan's oil exports were not at all.

So during that period, the people of the country lived a very happy and prosperous life.

Cha's use of such a tough trick was to allow the Venezuelan people to live a good life, but he offended the European and American oil giants.

They have been lying comfortably on the Weichuang Oilfield and sucking blood for nearly a hundred years. When you drive them away, how can they be happy?

So since then, European and American countries have adopted a hostile attitude towards Venezuela and even once sanctioned Venezuela internationally.

But because of the strong support from China at that time, Venezuela's life has always been good.

The situation was not until the President died of illness and President Ma took over the baton and started to turn bad.

It was also Mr. Ma who was not lucky. He wanted to continue to investigate the president's route when he came to power.

But unexpectedly, the United States made a huge breakthrough in shale gas technology at this time.

It was the world's largest oil importer, but it suddenly became an oil exporter.

All oil exporting countries in the world not only lack a huge oil market, but also have a strong competitor.

In addition, they also control Iraq, and with the manipulation of the petrodollar, oil prices soon fell to their lowest point in 20 years.

In this way, life will be difficult for Venezuela.

Previously, the oil from Venezuelan has been very cheap because their oil quality is too poor.

When the State of Venezuela discovered the oil field in the last century, the oil they produced was of extremely high quality, but after decades of exploitation by many European and American oil companies, their high-quality oil resources had long been exploited.

The remaining oilfield reserves now are not just oil, but highly viscous asphalt.

Compared with the light crude oil that digging wells and oil sprays out by itself, it is a thousand miles away.

The cost of refining such heavy oil into light crude oil is very high, and a large amount of waste gas will be generated during the process.

Even warships that can eat coarse grains are helpless when encountering such heavy oil. At present, only the "Varyag" ships in China are still using this heavy oil.

However, before use, a high-pressure pump is required to disperse the oil and inject it into the oil-fired boiler to burn, otherwise it will not burn at all...

Which one do you think you like to use this oil?

Isn’t it good to import light fuel from Saudi Arabia that can be burned directly?

Now that Liu Jin gets away and Xiao Feng helps him get this matter done, Xiao Feng is also having a headache!

"Liu Jin, wasn't Venezuelan's oil exclusively represented by ROSNEFT?"

"Ha? Do you still know this company?"

Liu Jin glanced at Xiao Feng, and Xiao Feng smiled.

What a joke? He wanted to do the oil business of Venezuela. At that time, he not only studied Venezuela's oil fields and oil quality issues, but also studied several major players.

Before Venezuela was sanctioned by the United States, Venezuela's oil was basically sold to companies such as China Petroleum, Chevron, India Reliance, and Italy's Aini.

Because Venezuelan does not have heavy oil treatment technology, they are all given to these companies at a low price.

Chevron and Aini basically refine the heavy oil and transfer it to other South American countries. The price is cheap anyway, and South American countries like it.

Linshi and Huaguo Petroleum took the oil back and used it themselves.

But later, due to the decline in international oil prices, the economy of Venezuela collapsed, President Ma's position was unstable, and the United States wanted to take the opportunity to overthrow him, but in the end the matter was ruined by Russia.

So the United States imposed the most serious economic sanctions on Venezuela.

Chevron, Aini, and Linshi dared not play with Venezuela's PDVSA. Venezuela's oil has no sales, so he fell into a dilemma.

As for China, because it can purchase high-quality fuel from Persia and Saudi Arabia, it is not very concerned about the oil here.

It’s just that a small batch is purchased every year, but this is not enough to be employed by the state.

So they entrusted the oil sales work to Maoxiong Kingdom's ROSNEFT to the agency. After all, the only companies in the world are not afraid of the United States' sanctions.

But now ROSNEFT is also having a headache about Venezuela's oil sales, because Venezuela's oil quality is really poor.

Moreover, China and India are too far away from the main consumer markets of oil, so the cost of transportation is a big deal. Coupled with the later refining, the cost has increased.

In this way, who is willing to buy heavy oil from Venezuela?

It is because they have always had arms trading relationships with South Vietnam and India that these two countries can still sell them a little face and buy some heavy oil from Venezuela.

But they can't sell most of the heavy oil they save.

Even the oil in ROSNEFT's hands can't be sold, let alone Liu Jin's side?

This oil is indeed not easy to sell, but Xiao Feng's eyes rolled, but immediately had an idea.

China doesn’t need it, but its Kalapag Islands are in need!

Not only oil, but also asphalt are needed in large quantities.

Because there are more than 100 islands in the Kalapag Islands, he is now engaged in large-scale island breeding on the island, so he has to do a lot of infrastructure work on the island.

Building a house and paving roads requires a lot of construction machinery, which requires burning oil.

And the quality of these mechanical oils does not need to be too high.

In addition, because the Kalapag Islands are located in the center of the ocean, there are six to eight months of rainy season every year, and the annual rainfall is also quite amazing.

Therefore, both roads and houses require a lot of rainproof infrastructure, which requires the use of a lot of asphalt.

Thinking about this, the oil from the higher country can just meet the demand when it comes back.

In addition, before the wind power and solar power plants were fully built, the power supply in their area mainly relies on thermal power.

There is no natural gas nearby to burn. If the heavy oil is cheap, you might as well burn the oil directly.

In his design, in the future, the Kalapag Islands region will have to live in three million people, and these people also need to use a lot of oil and energy.

There is also the Ithaca area, which is now a big market.

Thinking of this, Xiao Feng smiled and said to Liu Jin: "In this way, you can get a batch first, and I'll try to see if there are any sales in other places."

Liu Jin, who was worried about the oil, was almost overwhelmed by his hair, but when he heard that Xiao Feng really had a way to solve it, he was so happy that he was overjoyed.

"Really? That's great. Don't worry, as long as you can solve the problem, we have the technology for heavy oil refining."

"Really?"

Xiao Feng was happy this time. The heavy oil diluted and refined light fuel, but it has always troubled many major oil manufacturers around the world.

There are several factories in China that can be refined, but the cost has always been high.

Xiao Feng forgot that Mao Xiong is also a petrochemical power. If they can provide solutions, it would be better.

"Don't worry, I heard that those technical projects have said this, and they have a way to solve it. Now we have two oil tankers, which are in Venezuela. Tell me, where will the oil be transported?"

"Let's deliver ithaca port in the Copper Kingdom first. But I can say that we are not responsible for the shipping fee."
