Chapter 282: 282

Since governor Mai Lihao called, Gao Xian certainly had to return to Xiangjiang at the first time. The reason was not that he wanted to please each other, but that the opportunity he expected to turn the tide finally came.

Therefore, Gao Xian told James Baker and others that he would not go to the United States and that he would report to kisinger at the White House. Anyway, this time, he made a preliminary stop and made clear the calculations of all parties in the Middle East, and formed a detailed written report.

In this way, the people on this trip to the Middle East were happy to say goodbye in Iran. When Gao Xian arrived in Abu Dhabi, the United Arab Emirates to transfer to the plane to Xiangjiang, he received kisinger's official thanks.

It has to be said that Gao Xian, who has unique views on the situation in the Middle East because of oil investment, has done a very good job in visiting countries in the Middle East in a neutral and private capacity.

At this juncture, improper diplomatic gestures and the high string of diplomatic rhetoric have greatly dispelled the doubts and vigilance of all parties involved in the fourth Middle East War, and even spoke out their interest demands face to face like businessmen.

Of course, in the official caliber, Gao Xian belongs to the unknown who is good at fighting, while Ji Xinge, who is backed by the Rockefeller family, is the great hero.

In this regard, Gao Xian doesn't care. Both the return promised by David Rockefeller and the benefits earned by his "private work" have made this trip to the Middle East fruitful.

On the contrary, the capital won by this "errand" in the Middle East has greatly increased Gao Xian's voice in Xiangjiang.

After the outbreak of the first global oil crisis, the main goal set by Gao Xian is to turn the tide in Xiangjiang.

After the plane landed at Kai Tak Airport in Xiangjiang, Gao Xian saw that in addition to Ye Licheng, Li Ruoxi and other subordinates, Luo Bishi, the No. 2 deputy secretary of the Hong Kong government, also appeared.

Luo Lemin, the assistant chief secretary who does not deal with Gao Xian, is one of the representatives of the old colonial bureaucrats. There are conflicts in ideas and contradictions in work with the new colonial bureaucrats such as governor MacLehose, forcing No. 10 Downing Street to make a final choice.

After the end of the Second World War, Britain's huge colonial system collapsed, and it was impossible not to reflect.

For Xiangjiang, which broke out a riot in 1967, Britain abandoned the open-ended colonial rule in the past and replaced it with a subtle assimilation governance. The person who completed this mission was the carefully selected Hong Kong Governor Mai Lihao.

With this overall situation, of course, Luo Lemin can only be abandoned. In late September this year, he retired from the position of the Deputy Chief Secretary and was succeeded by the attorney general, Luo Bishi.

Luo Bishi, who was born in the judicial system, is very opposed to Mai Lihao. On weekdays, he supports the work of "President Mai". It is natural for him to be the second leader of the Hong Kong government.

Now, Gao Xian is back to the Xiangjiang River. Luo Bishi appears at the airport. You don't have to ask. You can guess that it is on behalf of Hong Kong Governor Mai Lihao.

Gao Xian stretched out his hand from a distance. "I'm sorry to be greeted by the Assistant Secretary for administration."

To become a new colonial bureaucrat, Luo Bishi must be flexible and good at it. It is impossible to be angry with you like his predecessor Luo Lemin.

Therefore, Luo Bishi held Gao Xian's hand tightly for a while with a more enthusiastic attitude, "Mr. Gao, it's great that you can come back so soon."

"At present, the situation in Xiangjiang is complex and urgent, so I have an unkind request to receive Mr. Gao from the governor's office immediately and talk to the governor in detail."

"Yes, yes." Gao Xian nodded again and again. "It's my duty and great honor to help the government solve problems and seek welfare for the people of Xiangjiang."

After communicating with Luo Bishi, Gao Xian looked at the subordinates who had received the suitcase and said, "don't follow me. Go back to the office first. After I meet the governor, I'll have a meeting."

Zhou Chengchang handed over a windbreaker. "Mr. Gao, it's windy outside. Put it on first."

Gao Xian didn't share a car with Luo Bishi, because he wanted to take advantage of this precious time on the road to learn about the current situation of Xiangjiang from his subordinates as much as possible, so that he could know well when he met with Hong Kong Governor Mai Lihao.

The wind outside, sure enough, seems to make the Xiangjiang River under the global oil crisis look a little bleak.

Just last month, that is, in the middle of October, watching the war situation turn sharply and turn upside down, Israel counterattacked into Egypt and Syria respectively. Arab oil producing countries began to turn oil from resources into weapons.

There is no doubt that the United States, which has provided all aid to Israel and turned it back into victory, has become the first target of embargoed oil.

At the same time, the Netherlands, Portugal, South Africa and Rhodesia, the future Zimbabwe, which are considered to be on the side of Israel, are also listed in the first batch of oil embargoes.

In addition, Arab oil producing countries continue to reduce production and raise prices by 5% each time; The output at this stage is almost only 25% of that in September.

In fact, in the past wars, Arab oil producing countries have claimed to use the arms of oil embargo, but it can almost be regarded as ineffective, but this time it really poked the hornet's nest, and the global economic system suddenly went haywire.

The reason may be that the global economy in the past has not developed to such a degree that it is so heavily dependent on oil as it is now.

The Middle East oil, relying on its long-term high quality and low price, has occupied a pivotal share in the global market.

Take the United States for example. It is rich in oil reserves, but its capital is profit driven. Oil companies import oil from the Middle East. Even if they pay import tax, it is still very profitable.

In this case, the daily oil production of the United States has been reduced to one million barrels; In contrast, imported oil reached 6.2 million barrels a day.

It is not difficult to see how dependent the United States is on imported oil.

This is the case in the United States, and the situation in other economies is even more self-evident.

Take the tension in the United States as an example. Gas stations in the United States have received an appeal from the Zhengfu government to voluntarily refuse to refuel on Saturday and Sunday.

Of course, this is only the tip of the iceberg of the initial impact after the outbreak of the first global oil crisis. The specific severity is unspeakable and even chaotic.

Li ruoxihui reported: "due to the shortage of oil, Xiangjiang needs to save energy. Zhengfu has begun to implement lighting control, and is still discussing the implementation of summer time."

Gao Xian was amused. "Who's idea? It's winter. It's even summer time."

Li Ruoxi said with a wry smile, "the situation is forcing Zhengfu to have no other way to use now! International oil companies such as shell, Mobil and Texaco have raised their prices twice, and they must rise again. There is no discussion with Zhengfu at all."

Gao Xian said playfully, "therefore, we have become soft persimmons!"

Li Ruoxi's eyes sparkled with excitement and asked eagerly, "boss, how much market share can we take this opportunity to occupy this time?"

Gao Xian replied lightly, "at least more than 50%, otherwise, how can the government compensate us for what we have paid now?"

"Then I know." Li Ruoxi rubbed his hands eagerly. "Boss, you may not know that this industry is a little barbaric. Yesterday, someone made trouble at the gas station of happy energy. As a result, he was beaten black and blue by our great guys."

Gao Xian turned his eyes to the outside of the window, looked at the pedestrians whose necks were shrunk by the strong wind, frowned and said, "this winter, will it be another cold winter?"

Theoretically speaking, the temperature of Xiangjiang River in the tropics is above zero even in winter.

However, after Gao Xian came to the 1970 era, he felt that the Xiangjiang winters he had experienced were a little cold; If there is a little rain again, it will be even more uncomfortable.

If there were no global oil crisis, it would be easier to deal with it if it was colder in winter, but now there is a serious shortage of energy!

Li Ruoxi, who realized Gao Xian's idea, reported a situation: "now many citizens have gone to Jindong supermarket and Huikang to buy Sweaters in advance."

Gao Xian nodded slightly and asked Ye Licheng, "what's the price of Xiangjiang?"

"According to the monitoring results of Gaoyi, the price of Xiangjiang has increased by nearly 40 percent during this period." Ye Licheng said here and added, "the Zhengfu has no official statement in this regard, but I heard an internal data. The price increase is 2.17 percent."

Hearing this data, Gao Xian was calm on the surface, but secretly took a breath of air conditioning. No wonder Hong Kong Governor Mai Lihao was anxious to find himself. The situation is really serious enough.

But then again, in the "old script" without his own chaos, how did Xiangjiang get through the current difficulties?

Judging from the various Passive Countermeasures of the Hong Kong government at present, it can only be that 4 million people in Xiangjiang collectively pay the bill and get through this extraordinary period together.

Thinking of this, Gao Xian asked Li Ruoxi, "has the supermarket under happy group raised the commodity price?"

"Of course, it's increased. Other peers are raising prices in a hurry. We're kind enough." Ye Licheng added righteously: "moreover, we recognize the coupons we've issued before."

Ye Licheng echoed: "boss, you haven't seen how serious the chaos of hoarding in Xiangjiang market is. Zhengfu is trying to find various ways to deal with it."

Gao Xian flashed an imperceptible smile on his face, and then praised sincerely: "you've worked hard during the time I left Xiangjiang!"

Needless to say, just like the recent trip to the Middle East, Gao Xian helped Ji Xinge run errands, and all the credit goes to Ji Xinge. At present, what happy group and Gao Yi do in Xiangjiang is to pave the way for the big boss and create space for Gao Xian's talks with Hong Kong Governor Mai Lihao, and the final credit naturally comes from Gao Xian.

……

The car stopped in front of the Hong Kong Governor's office. As soon as the leather shoes on Gao Xian's feet fell to the ground, a reporter rushed over and asked, "Mr. Gao, when did you return to Xiangjiang?"

"After I came out of the airport, I came here directly." Gao Xian pointed to the reporter's red hand. "The weather is bad, and you're still squatting here. It's very hard."

Speaking of this, Gao Xian turned and took a pair of gloves from the car and handed them to each other. "There's only such a pair of my gloves in the car. You can use them."

"Thank you, Mr. Gao." the young reporter, his eyes flushed with emotion, respectfully took the gloves.

Gao Xian's action of buying people's hearts at his fingertips suddenly made the scene orderly.

While consciously giving way, the reporters asked, "Mr. Gao, are you meeting with the governor to discuss how to deal with the energy shortage and soaring prices in Xiangjiang?"

Gao Xian kept answering, "I just returned to Xiangjiang. I don't know many specific situations, but if I can contribute to solving the problems of energy shortage and soaring prices in Xiangjiang, I am absolutely duty bound."

When the Deputy Chief Secretary Luo Bishi and Gao Xian got together, he whispered, "the international oil companies such as shell, Mobil and Texaco have determined to raise prices for the third time tomorrow. Governor Xian is angry."

Gao Xian raised his eyebrows and said, "are these international oil companies not afraid to cause the disgust of the people in Xiangjiang and eventually lose market share?"

Deputy Chief Secretary Luo Bishi replied powerlessly, "at present, the world is in an energy shortage crisis. They have enough price increases to pass on the pressure of rising costs. Do we have any choice?"

Gao Xian nodded clearly and muttered, "I have a choice when I'm here!"

When Gao Xian saw governor Mai Lihao, the other party immediately opened their eyebrows, skipped the greeting link, went straight to the theme and said, "Gao, I know your investment in the oil industry is very successful."

"Therefore, you have now become my only choice to deal with the current energy shortage crisis in Xiangjiang."

Gao Xian said without hesitation: "governor, with all due respect, in the current situation, whether it is the North Sea oil field in Europe or the Mexican oil field in America, it is beyond reach."

"Fortunately, I also have oil investment in Brunei, Southeast Asia, which can solve the urgent need for the moment."

"However, I have just received news about this book. There are willing to pay a high price for all petroleum products."

The smile that had just appeared on the face of governor Mai Lihao solidified. After a long time, he returned to normal. He showed his negotiating skills accumulated as a diplomat before and said painstakingly: "Gao, Xiangjiang needs your selfless help now. I need your support."

"Gao, as long as you are willing to accept it, I will ask you to join the Executive Council of the government as a member to help me deal with the current energy shortage crisis."

"Thank you for your trust and support." Gao Xian owes himself. "Of course, I am willing to support the work of governor Xian; moreover, as a justice of the peace, I also have the responsibility to contribute my best to Xiangjiang's response to the energy shortage crisis."
