When Aramco's chairman Arthur, president Armin, senior consultant Dowling and others stepped into the Energy Alliance headquarters building.

The three of them had the illusion that they seemed to be a different world. They actually witnessed history. The pole fell twenty years ago, and twenty years later, this blue planet returned to the era of two polar hegemony.

And this time, it is a re-emerging ancient world overlord, a world overlord with extremely strong resilience.

Pushing open the door gently, Arthur saw Luo Tuo, the rotating chairman of the Energy Alliance, Li Yangling, the president of United Petroleum, and others.

The two sides have been sitting at the negotiating table many times, but the relationship between the two sides in negotiations is that America has the initiative, and United Petroleum is very passive and helpless.

At this moment, the relationship between the two sides has been completely reversed during negotiations. The Energy Alliance has taken the initiative, while Amei has fallen into a passive and slaughtered position.

Regardless of whether they accept it or not, Arthur, Amin and others can only accept this reality and start this negotiation.

"Everyone from Amei Company, what do you want to talk about?" Luo Tuoman asked casually.

Arthur also knew that what should come will always come, so he spoke, "President Luo, President Li, our company came with sincerity. Regarding the last misunderstanding, our company was willing to compensate you for 5 million tons of crude oil to make up for your losses."

"5 million" Li Yangling refused to comment.

Obviously, Aramco found out about some of the situations of Lucia Petroleum and planned to lose money and avoid disasters, but the Energy Alliance did not give a reply.

Arthur, who was a little anxious, said again: "President Li, how about 6 million tons?"

"I am a little worried about your sincerity. After all, some things are always full of surprises." Li Yangling said coldly.

Arthur, Amin and Dorling discussed for a while before speaking out another condition: "We agree to use Huayuan to settle some of the crude oil and natural gas."

"What is part of it?" Luo Tuo raised his eyebrows.

"The maximum is about 30%. "Amin replied.

Luo Tuo shook his head: "It's too low."

Amin, who smiled bitterly, explained: "President Luo, we are also in a very difficult situation. After all, if the proportion is too high at once, it will be difficult for North America to deal with it."

Luo Tuo, Li Yangling and others naturally knew that Amei Company used Huayuan settlement and needed to take a very big risk. It could only use Huayuan settlement part of it, while continuing to use Miyuan settlement to facilitate them to continue to ride on the fence.

After discussing Eternity, Luo Tuo nodded: "A 30% ratio is OK, but should you reserve some money?"

Arthur immediately knew about it and immediately smiled and said, "We will buy a batch of debts, with an amount of 300 billion Huayuan, and a reserve of 150 billion Huayuan foreign exchange."

The two sides talked for a long time. Aramco, on behalf of the Kingdom of Sand, compensated the Energy Alliance for 6 million tons of crude oil, purchased 300 billion Huayuan bonds, and replaced 150 billion Huayuan with crude oil as foreign exchange reserves.

In addition, there are many conditions attached, such as allowing the Energy Alliance to develop oil and gas fields in the sand.

Then, the seawater desalination factory project that had been dragging on before also signed five projects at once, all of which were seawater desalination projects with an annual output of 500 million cubic cubic cubes of pure water.

It also signed a 30 million acre desert transformation contract with the Food Alliance to prepare for the development of desert agriculture in the Kingdom of Sandlands.

It is basically a package of cooperation plans, and even includes an arms sales contract of 3.5 billion yuan.

After the Energy Alliance restored the crude oil import quota for the Kingdom of Sands, the price of global crude oil futures rose immediately.

On that day, the price of Dubai acid crude oil futures on the Lion City Exchange rose sharply, from 6.42 meters per barrel to 33.81 meters per barrel.

London Brent crude oil followed closely behind, soaring to 31.5 meters per barrel.

The last one is the New York Stock Exchange, but the price rise here is not fast, which may be related to the recent restricted trading of the New York Stock Exchange's overseas account and high margin. The price of New York crude oil futures rose to 26.7 meters per barrel that day.

In the next week, the Energy Alliance has successively negotiated with crude oil producers around the world and allocated some quotas to them.

Although the import volume of 250 million tons at its peak was not restored, the purchase volume successively reached about 160 million tons, and the prices were between 150 and 250 Huayuan per barrel.

In addition, Linlin received 15.7 million tons of free crude oil compensation and signed a large number of affiliated cooperation agreements.

It includes a cooperation plan for two crude oil pipelines, and a lease of a port in Oman as a strategic base for the Northwest Ceylon Ocean.

This strategic base, on Masila Island in Oman, will not only serve as a supply and maintenance base, but will also become the home port of the escort formation. The base plans to station a 1,500-person security personnel.

Through this crude oil confrontation, the Energy Alliance has gained huge benefits for the country, and has turned from a fat sheep that was slaughtered by others to become a chess player in the global energy chess game in one fell swoop.

As the negotiations were completed one after another, Changan Energy Exchange also launched spot contracts and futures contracts, but they were different from other international crude oil futures. Futures purchased on Changan Energy Exchange must have real goods as the basis.

In addition, when the futures contract expires, both parties must deliver the futures. This delivery is the delivery of crude oil, not the delivery of nothing.

The trading design of Changan Energy Exchange is actually a reference to the Dalian Ore Exchange. If it is separated from actual goods, futures will really become a financial game.

After binding the physical objects, the futures price fluctuates on the Dalian Exchange, usually below 5% every day, and there will be no outrageous surges and plummets that are out of reality.

At the same time, the restrictions on leverage and overseas accounts are very strict. After all, the lessons of the New York Stock Exchange have been learned from many bloody examples.

The essence of finance is not to cash out on the market, nor to pass on the flowers, nor to harvest investors.

At the beginning, the essence of finance was actually to serve the development of the real economy and provide funds for the real economy.

Huang Xiuyuan has long set the tone in the design of the Ore Exchange and the Energy Exchange, that is, finance must combine entities and service entities, rather than playing virtual financial games.

Therefore, the design of the ore exchange and the energy exchange is simple physical futures and futures with physical guarantees.

In the future memory, crude oil futures on the New York Stock Exchange had a wise negative price, and investors who purchased these crude oil futures were unable to obtain real crude oil through these crude oil futures contracts.

This is the bad manifestation of finance being divorced from reality. Since you are futures, you must have real goods. Even if the investor loses money in short selling, as long as he still holds these contracts, he must take out the corresponding goods when they expire.

If you can't take out the goods, what are you calling futures?

It’s better to just call it a gamble on the price of a fake product, wouldn’t that be more appropriate?

Only simple finance that returns to the real economy is the original intention of finance at the beginning. Those fancy financial investment plans are to deliberately complicate simple problems, and then facilitate vampires to use the rules of the game to suck blood and eat people.
