Chapter 1715: The Sadness of Pure Oil Importers

Although Li Jianxi rushed over in a hurry, Xiao Qi still accompanied his wife and children back to his home in Seoul. The next morning, he took the car sent by Li Jianxi and went to his extremely luxurious home.

Regardless of Chinese or foreigners, when they are powerful, they like to decorate their homes in a more luxurious and luxurious way. On the one hand, it is to match their power, and on the other hand, it is also the need to enjoy life.

Stingy households like Mr. Buffett are, after all, only a minority among the minority.

Li Jianxi was also a romantic figure when he was young, and he also paid attention to some health preservation when he was old, so he didn't go to Samsung headquarters every day. Most of the time, he was only responsible for the general direction, and all the specific things were trained by him. Elite subordinates.

More often than not, those subordinates came to ask him for advice.

Therefore, this large house has become a sacred place that hundreds of thousands of Samsung employees yearn for.

If you want to make a name for yourself in Samsung, if you haven't been to the chairman's house once, you have no hope at all, and it's not your turn to rank seniority.

But to Xiao Qi, Li Jianxi's home was nothing special, even after he entered, Li Jianxi's wife and the children at home would treat the distinguished guests with grand etiquette.

Sitting in a room with tatami mats, Xiao Qi drank Korean tea, looked at the heavy snow that was still falling outside, and said casually: "The weather in Korea these past few years shouldn't be very good, right?"

"Who says it's not? There are many natural disasters during this period, such as snowstorms, heavy rains, or droughts across the country..." Li Jianxi nodded: "Fortunately, South Korea is not an agricultural country, otherwise it would have collapsed long ago."

"A country with a small land area. Mainly engaged in agriculture, that is a dead end." Xiao Qi said the truth from ancient times to the present, "But South Korea has done quite well, whether it is shipbuilding, steel industry, automobile industry and electronics industry , all of which are at the leading level in the world. There is a lot that Huaguo has to learn from you!"

Many Chinese people only know how to scold South Korea, but they don't know that this stick has put aside the distance of China for decades in many ways.

For example, in the shipbuilding industry, Huaguo is proud that it is the second largest country in the world's shipbuilding industry. Do you know who is the number one?

South Korea!

Although it is only a civilian shipbuilding industry, think about how big South Korea is, and how big is its population? Isn't this admirable?

And the Korean steel industry. South Korea’s steel is basically not much worse than Japanese steel, and POSCO is recognized as the most competitive steel company in the world. This is much better than the quality of the steel we produce—some special steel in Huaguo must be imported The fact of Caixing has already shown how much we have for high-end steel manufacturing!

Not to mention the auto industry, the Elantra, Sonata, Maxima, etc., which have gradually occupied the domestic compact car market in China in the past two years. Although it is still unable to compete with Japanese and German manufacturers, it is definitely to let those FAW, Second Auto, SAIC, GAC, etc. who only know how to make money with foreigners have ambition and a future.

In terms of the electronics industry, although it has not been seen in the past two years, Xiao Qi, who has experienced 2013, knows how strong Samsung and LG will be in the Chinese market in the future. Even Japanese manufacturers will be beaten to vomit blood and reorganize. Not to mention a group of outdated companies in China who only know how to fight price wars regardless of technology.

Xiao Qi doesn't like Korea, and he hates Japan even more.

But he had to admit that the two countries had their own reasons for becoming rich and powerful, and success would not be accidental.

We have been living in the dream of "the kingdom of heaven", and we always look down on the two small foreign countries that were not even ants under our hands a few hundred years ago, and we are more disdainful of their achievements.

But I didn't expect that the present is not the past, backwardness is backwardness, and I want to restore the previous glory. In addition to their own continuous efforts, there is no other way!

Xiao Qi has seen this clearly, so he will not ignore other people's achievements, but instead regards them as motivation for himself.

Li Jianxi was also surprised by Xiao Qi's attitude. In his mind, Chinese people are unwilling to face up to the achievements of Koreans, thinking that Koreans were servants before, and they will be servants now.

At the same time, Li Jianxi's admiration for Xiao Qi has reached another level.

Being able to see yourself clearly is more important than being able to see others clearly.

Xiao Qi's ability to admit Hua Guo's shortcomings frankly proves that Xiao Qi has an extremely clear mind, and this kind of talent is the most difficult to deal with.

With a smile, Li Jianxi said: "Why don't you say Qi Shao, Huaguo has innate advantages, the land is vast and fertile, and rich in products, wouldn't we have to weigh every rib like us? Also, Qi Shao just now The industries you mentioned, shipbuilding, steel and automobiles, all need a lot of oil! China’s oil self-sufficiency rate can reach 60%, right? South Korea imports almost 100%! And we are the fourth largest oil importer in the world , the energy strategy is even more pitiful than that of Japan!"

Speaking of the three heroes of East Asia, Huaguo, Japan and South Korea account for almost 40% of global oil imports. Huaguo is second only to the United States, Japan is third, and South Korea is fourth.

South Korea imports 2.2 million barrels of oil every day. Once there is any trouble in the oil, South Korea's stock market and finance will start to fluctuate, because they have no ability to resist risks at all!

Between this year and next year, due to the sharp drop in oil prices, South Korea has lost more than 20 billion US dollars, which is almost the same as that of China.

With Xiao Qi in this life, Huaguo will naturally not suffer from this major oil change, but unless South Korea also has a reincarnated person, they will still have to suffer, a big loss!

Xiao Qi listened to Li Jianxi's words and didn't say much, but it didn't mean that Li Jianxi didn't continue to express his intentions.

Li Jianxi has already understood that people like Xiao Qi cannot be deceived by your schemes and schemes at all, it is better to cooperate honestly, so as to obtain more benefits.

"Qi Shao, I know you have your own opinions on oil. Today's oil price has exceeded 116 US dollars per barrel. Do you think it will rise again in the future?" Li Jianxi asked bluntly.

"It will still go up." Xiao Qi replied.

"How much will it go up? When will it be the top?" Li Jianxi continued to ask, "Is it really like what you said, will it stop at 150 US dollars? Or as Goldman Sachs predicted, it is very likely to reach 180 US dollars. The high point of the dollar?"

"How can I judge so accurately?" Xiao Qi laughed, "President Li, I'm not a god."

Li Jianxi saw Xiao Qi's hesitation to speak, and smiled slightly: "Qi Shao, we are old friends, what else can you not say? Could it be that I, Li Jianxi, can treat you badly?"

"President Li, you and I are at ease, but I am very puzzled. Samsung has nothing to do with the oil business, right?" Xiao Qi counted with his fingers: "SK Group and Ssangyong Oil Refining are in their own line, and Hyundai Petroleum is modern. Caltex is foreign-owned, does Samsung have any interest in the petrochemical industry?"

"Hehe, I didn't expect Qi Shao to know so much about Korean oil companies! In fact, Samsung also has an oil company, but the scale is not big." Li Jianxi smiled calmly, "Although they have nothing to do with me, they were expensive a while ago. China's PetroChina, Sinopec, and CNOOC are hoarding oil, which I appreciate very much. Samsung is a Korean company, so it should naturally contribute to South Korea, so it must be helpful to help them hoard some oil and use it at critical times It has a huge positive meaning.”

Xiao Qi understood.

You must know that the oil giants in no country are vegetarians, and they are all experts in calling the wind and rain. If Li Kunxi can give these giants more favors, then Samsung's foundation will be more stable.

To put it bluntly, it was just a transaction, maybe these giants entrusted Li Jianxi to ask Xiao Qi.

Seeing Xiao Qi thinking, Li Jianxi continued: "Of course, we will not let Qi Shao be a staff officer for nothing. If Qi Shao can help, then I will fight for the best reward for Qi Shao. Believe in my old face, is it worth Qi Shao's trust?"

Nodding his head, the boy continued to fall into thought.

Due to the different national economic structure, South Korea cannot live without importing oil every day, and it is not as diversified as Japan. Therefore, it cannot withstand the oil crisis more than Japan, and every time it will be cheated by the giants of the oil futures market. money.

This is the tragedy of pure oil importers! !

If Xiao Qi had helped them this time, then South Korea would have at least lost more than 20 billion U.S. dollars, which is logically objective.

Xiao Qi doesn't care about any monetary rewards. The amount of money is meaningless to Xiao Qi. With technology and ability, he can make money himself.

What he was wondering at this time was whether South Korea had the technology or company he wanted.

If you ask Xiao Qi what he wants most from South Korea, he will say bluntly that he might as well give himself all of Samsung's entire electronics industry chain.

But even if you think about it, you know it's impossible.

Not to mention the entire industrial chain, even some of them are impossible!

Li Jianxi is more cunning and cunning than anyone else. It took him more than 20 years to finally create a unique hardware industry chain in the world. How could it be possible for Xiao Qi to take advantage of it?

It is not a problem for him to sell products from these industrial chains to Xiao Qi, anyway, selling to anyone will make money, and he would like to use Xiao Qi's order to strengthen technology research and development and improve his own strength.

What should I choose?

ps: South Korea ranks fourth among oil importers, which proves from another aspect how developed their industry is! Such a small country can have this ability, it is indeed worth our efforts to catch up!
