Chapter 747: 648

Was Tang Qing interested in getting involved in the oil industry?

Of course, he was.

Just not a huge interest.

After all, compared to other things, oil holds more political than economic significance. Its price is subject to both the U.S. dollar and the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), making it the focus of competition among major powers.

Just as he had previously thought.

Fossil fuels will eventually exit the stage of history.

Tang Qing was interested in the future, in alternatives to oil.

For instance, new energy industries such as solar energy, nuclear energy, and compact high-capacity batteries attracted him more than the heavy asset model of the oil energy industry, which he truly found as tasteless as chicken ribs.

After all, oil, unlike other minerals, can easily be replaced. You cannot forge iron and steel from air, can you?

Tang Qing hesitated.

Should he dip his toes into this industry?
