Chapter 220 Give Me Continue to Rise(2/2)
Keep rising for me!
After Guan Qiu finished speaking, the international crude oil price immediately rose by 30 cents to $45.02 per barrel.
The world exclaimed again.
In order to cope with the arrival of the era of high oil prices, governments have incorporated oil security into their national security strategies.
In order to reduce dependence on the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, developed countries such as the United States have opened up new oil sources in regions and countries such as West Africa, Central Asia and Russia;
Groups of countries and regions with fast-growing economic development such as China, India, ASEAN, South Korea, and Brazil are actively seeking multi-channel sources of oil;
Oil-producing countries such as Saudi Arabia and Russia have regarded oil as the "golden key" to their economic takeoff, and have formulated strategies to "prosper the country with oil" and "power to strengthen the country with oil";
Countries around the world attach great importance to oil transportation guarantees and strategic reserves. For example, China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Japan, the United States and other countries are building long-distance oil pipelines.
Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia jointly maintain security in the Strait of Malacca, China and India are preparing to build strategic oil reserve facilities, etc.
While countries around the world are secretly worried about the high oil prices, oil prices fluctuated twice in mid-October, down 20 cents, from the previous $48.39/barrel to $48.16/barrel.
All over the world are thrilling.
[Number one, oil prices have really dropped this time!]
[It is a foregone conclusion that the oil price has fallen to a cliff-like decline, and the oil crisis has passed!]
【…】
Unfortunately, before the speech was finished, international crude oil prices immediately rose by nearly 4 percentage points, from the original $48.16/barrel to $50.03/barrel, and broke through the $50 mark for the first time.
This situation shocked all countries and institutions around the world.
This price has risen by 50% compared with the beginning of 2004.
Some people cry and some people laugh.
Wall Street consortiums and international speculators, who are long, are basically laughing crazy. When airlines around the world announced that they would raise fuel surcharges, a large number of dollars entered their pockets.
Of course, a considerable portion of it also flowed into Park Ruo's account.
Time unconsciously came to the last day before the presidential election.
On the evening of the 1st, Guan Qiu and Pu Ruo went to the Western Restaurant on the Hudson River for dinner together.
Neither of them spoke, and ate silently.
After eating, Park Ruo picked up the white tablecloth and wiped his mouth. Under the light, it was so beautiful that it was insignificant.
"Do you want to stop?"
Guan Qiu smiled, "What do you think?"
Park Ruo nodded and asked again: "How many?"
Guan Qiu said without hesitation: "All!"
Park Ruo's lips moved and wanted to say something, but in the end he still didn't say it.
This is a big bet, with a winning rate of 50%. Either Bu Shi was elected and became a figure at the top of the pyramid of wealth; or Klee was elected and the two returned home in shame.
Guan Qiu smiled and said, "Believe me, you will definitely win."
Park Ruo didn't speak.
Even Bushi himself is not sure that he will definitely be re-elected as president now, so why is he so confident?
Guan Qiu's eyes turned and laughed, "Or like this, let's make a bet, if I win, you can kiss me."
Park Ruo didn't speak, looking at him with murderous eyes.
Guan Qiu immediately said, "If I lose, I'll kiss you."
