石油价格为什么这么贵

Speaking of the recent issue of oil prices, many people are very unhappy.

Why are many people unhappy?

Because buying things costs a lot of money.

Especially the oil needed to drive cars.

Oil nowadays is really too expensive.

Our daily lives need oil.

Cars cannot run without oil.

Every morning you have to drive to work.

If there is no oil in the car, what do you do?

You can only go to the gas station to buy oil.

But once you arrive at the gas station and take a look.

The price of oil is higher than yesterday again.

You feel very unhappy.

But you still have to spend money to buy it.

Because you have to go to the company to work.

Besides cars, airplanes also need oil.

Without oil, airplanes cannot fly in the sky.

Many large factories also need oil.

Factories need to use oil to make things.

Therefore, our lives cannot be without oil.

So, where does this oil come from?

Many countries have their own oil.

But the oil in their countries is too little.

People use too much oil.

Their own country's oil is not enough to use.

What to do when it's not enough?

They can only go to other countries to buy it.

Buying oil is a very important matter.

After buying a lot of oil, how to bring it back?

We need to use very large ships.

Large ships do not travel fast on the sea.

But large ships can hold a lot of oil.

So everyone is using large ships to transport oil.

On the sea, large ships also have to take sea routes.

There is a sea route that is very important.

This route is like a large gate of the sea.

Many large ships have to pass through here.

There are many ships coming and going here every day.

What are all these large ships loaded with?

The ships are fully loaded with black oil.

Everyone really needs this oil.

Everyone is waiting for this oil at home.

So this sea gate is very busy.

Every day large ships sail in.

Every day large ships also sail out.

If there are no problems with this gate.

Everyone can slowly buy oil.

The price of oil will not become too expensive.

But, a big problem has appeared now.

Next to this gate, there is a country.

This country is very unhappy right now.

They have conflicts with other countries.

They say, we are going to close the gate.

They won't let the large oil-carrying ships take this route.

If the gate really closes, what to do?

The large ships won't be able to pass.

If the ships can't pass, the oil won't be able to come either.

People in many countries are waiting for oil.

But after waiting for a long time, the oil still hasn't come.

Everyone is very anxious in their hearts.

Because the oil hasn't come, the oil has become less.

But the people who need oil are still very many.

Everyone wants to buy oil quickly.

You want to buy, and I also want to buy.

What will happen at this time?

The people selling oil will feel very happy.

The people selling oil say, I want to charge more money.

Because I have very little oil now.

If you want to buy my oil, you have to pay more money.

So, the price of oil has become higher.

Buying oil before might not have been that expensive.

Now it is much more expensive day by day.

Now buying a barrel of oil requires a lot of money.

I heard it already costs over a hundred dollars.

Over a hundred dollars to buy a barrel of oil.

This is really very, very expensive.

Many people feel their money is not enough to use.

Even though oil is very expensive, everyone still has to buy it.

This makes people feel very tired.

Because oil is expensive, other things are also expensive.

Why would other things also become expensive?

Because the apples and clothes sold in stores.

These are all delivered by large trucks.

Large trucks also need to use oil to deliver things.

The people delivering things spent a lot of money buying oil.

So they also have to charge more for the things they deliver.

For example, you go to the supermarket to buy an apple.

The apple is one dollar more expensive than before.

You go to the store to buy a new piece of clothing.

The clothing is also ten dollars more expensive than before.

Everyone feels that life has become harder.

Let's think about that sea gate again.

Is that gate closed now?

Actually, the gate is not fully closed yet.

Even though it's not fully closed, everyone is very afraid.

Everyone is afraid that the gate will suddenly close tomorrow.

Because of fear in their hearts.

Everyone goes to buy oil today.

If everyone goes to buy today, the oil becomes even less.

This is a very big trouble.

This problem cannot be solved in a day or two.

What does that country next to the gate want to do?

They want to make other countries listen to them.

So they stand there at the gate.

This method makes everyone very nervous.

The countries buying oil are very nervous.

The countries selling oil are also very nervous.

The people sailing the large ships feel even more afraid.

They are afraid of encountering great danger on the sea.

So the people sailing the large ships also have to charge more money.

This is also a reason why the oil price has become higher.

All these things are making the price go up.

Next, let's talk about the real situation.

This sea gate we just talked about.

Is actually the Strait of Hormuz.

That very unhappy country next to it.

Is actually Iran.

We are talking about current international news.

Iran controls this very important strait.

They do not let oil ships simply sail past.

Because the oil cannot come out, the price is very high.

Right now the price of a barrel of oil is very high.

It has already reached over one hundred US dollars.

This is the reason why the whole world is very worried.
