The journey starts from the Titanic

Originally, Song Ziwen felt that Situ Nan’s establishment of a national oil company was unnecessary and thankless. There are no oil fields that can be developed on a large scale in China. There may be some oil fields in Yumen in the northwest, but they are too remote and poor in traffic. They are not their own sites. The Wuhan government is unable to organize the development of Yumen Oilfield.

However, the emergence of Jianghan Oilfield made Song Ziwen change his attitude. Since oil is being tapped in the Jianghan Plain, what about other places?Will there be oil too?

Therefore, he actively supports Kong Xiangxi.

Compared with the huge US-China Petroleum Corporation, Kong Xiangxi and the National Petroleum Corporation are more likely to listen to the words of the Wuhan government and Song Ziwen.

"For example?" Since it comes to cooperation, there must be specific projects. Knowing that there is something in Kong Xiangxi's words, Song Ziwen still helps Kong Xiangxi ask it out.

"My plan is to establish a petrochemical industrial zone in Wuhan, a petroleum refining system, and a petrochemical system. Simply put, it is to produce kerosene, gasoline, diesel, candle pitch and other products that are urgently needed in the domestic market, while taking into account the petrochemical-related products. Synthetic ammonia plant gunpowder plant and other projects."

Kong Xiangxi didn't know that the Meihua Laboratory had invented nylon, which was made into guitar strings by Situ Nan, and mankind quietly entered the era of polymer synthesis industry.All he can think of is the synthetic ammonia project, whether it is fertilizer or explosives, both of which are very lucrative projects.

With the idea of ​​petroleum refining, Kong Xiangxi did not forget to get some profitable fertilizers and explosives, so he had a plan for this chemical industrial zone.

It seemed that he had been prepared, Kong Xiangxi smiled, and under the gaze of everyone, he took out the map of Wuhan area from his bag, and he had circled the land on the northeast corner of Wuchang north of the Yangtze River with a red pen.

"This time the terrain is flat, the land price is low, and the transportation is convenient. It is close to the Yangtze River and adjacent to Wuhan Xingang Wharf. The Hankou Industrial Zone is less than 5 kilometers upstream. The Wuhan Shipyard of Hanyang Iron Works Yangzi Machinery Co. Equipment technology.

The other side is the Hankou Commercial District, which has a developed economy. The American China Petroleum Company and the Mobil Oil Company, etc., have oil depots located on both sides of the Yangtze River less than 3 kilometers away.

Also, to the south is the East Lake where we are now. There are the East Lake University Town and the East Lake Industrial Zone. If a petrochemical laboratory is established nearby, the talent resources of the University Town can be fully utilized.

The project is divided into two phases. The first phase refines 10,000 tons of crude oil, which is roughly equivalent to the output of Jianghan Oilfield in the next two to three years. The second phase aims to refine 50,000 tons of crude oil.

On the one hand, increase the exploration of domestic petroleum resources and find new sources of oil. On the other hand, increase the output of Jianghan Oilfield, and the shortfall is imported by South China.

At the same time, after the completion of the first phase of the project, the establishment of petrochemical projects began. Through the cooperation with Meihua Chemical Company, the establishment of synthetic ammonia engineering fertilizer plant explosives plant, etc., on this matter, Meihua Chemical Company and I have reached a cooperation consensus."

All aspects of the technical raw materials for the transportation market are conducive to the petrochemical industrial zone. Kong Xiangxi gives directions and speaks eloquently, with a confident look.

Kong Xiangxi’s plan is like this. The leveling of the factory area can be handed over to the Construction Corps. The oil transportation reserve dock can also be built by itself. The railway can be pulled from the Wuchang Station. A branch railway can be provided. There are hundreds of machinery factories in Hankou.

However, when it comes to professional oil refining equipment, as well as oil refining technology and petrochemical technology, Kong Xiangxi has no bottom.

National Petroleum Corporation does not have technical reserves in this regard. Even the oilfield exploitation must rely on the support of Meihua Company. This petrochemical industrial zone project, the key is to rely on Meihua Oil Company!

According to Kong Xiangxi's plan, the National Petroleum Corporation has accumulated a considerable amount of funds, but he intends to use the funds to acquire Occidental Petroleum's assets in China and establish a national oil company's sales network.

As for the funds for the petrochemical industrial zone, it is necessary to rely on state-appropriated bank loans and private fundraising.

With his Kong Xiangxi's method of making money, are you afraid of not having money?

Kong Xiangxi has wooed many capable businessmen in China. Most of them are businessmen that Kong Xiangxi has known in the oil business these years. He has a wide network of contacts. He pays attention to harmony and makes money. He has made more friends and is no more confident than Song Ziwen. difference.

He also made an agreement with several major domestic banks, and the government endorsed him at the back.Even if American China Bank does not lend, Kong Xiangxi does not believe that he cannot get the money.

Chapter 173 Song Ailing's One Hundred Thousand Mu

Kong Xiangxi knew this clearly, and specifically asked the time when the South China delegation came to Wuhan. Basically, the senior leaders of the two countries included the partners of the US-China consortium.If they were persuaded, they also persuaded Meihua Oil Company.

For this plan, Kong Xiangxi has made a lot of preparations. He has a good eloquence and can clearly depict the prospects of the Wuhan Petrochemical Industrial Zone without any drafts.

His confident attitude revealed this signal: Give me enough financial and technical support, and I can build an advanced petrochemical industrial zone in the heart of the country and establish a complete petrochemical industrial chain.

This is a precious resource that can't be bought for much money.

Song Ziwen and Lin Yimin were indeed moved.

"It tickles what we are talking about, Mr. Kong just ask how much it costs?"

Lin Yimin asked with a smile.

"The first phase of the project will cost 250,000 yuan, of which 120,000 yuan will be used for infrastructure construction, 10,000 yuan will be used for equipment procurement, and the remaining money will be used for patent procurement to hire technical personnel and basic company operations. The maximum will not exceed 30,000 yuan.

After the first phase of the project is completed, I promise to recover the cost within three years.If the government increases import tariffs on refined oil, the time will be shorter."

Kong Xiangxi replied, smiling confidently.

Increase tariffs?

Song Ziwen and others did not answer this, and did not want to make trouble.However, Kong Xiangxi's words opened their minds. Although they did not conform to Kong Xiangxi's joke, they remembered it in their hearts.

"What else? The second phase of the project will have more? Let's talk about it, so that I have a bottom line." Lin Yimin asked again.

"The investment in the second phase of the project is much larger, and the optimistic estimate is more than double that of the first phase. However, I am confident that the cost will be recovered. There are two reasons. One is that the market is getting bigger and the other is our local operations and the scale is huge. , There is a cost advantage.

As far as I know, even if our national oil company does not start the project, the US-China Petroleum Company plans to establish a refining base in China. They are investigating in East China and South China, and they may choose one place or two places together.

In the next five years, Meihua Petroleum Company alone will refine more than 20,000 tons of gasoline, diesel, kerosene and aviation kerosene to the country.It doesn't matter if the national oil company keeps up, the gap will be even greater in the future."

Kong Xiangxi said solemnly.

"Mr. Kong has great courage and unique vision. To tell you the truth, my old man’s Jianyuan Petroleum Company is also preparing to embark on a refining and chemical project. I am in Palembang, South China, and you are in Wuhan, one south and one north. Thinking of going together."

Huang Zhonghan laughed.

In South China, Huang’s Jianyuan consortium is known as the second in ten thousand years. Whether it is in railways or petroleum banking, the Jianyuan brand is second to Meihua.

It can be seen that Huang Zhonghan's influence is great.

"Meihua Petroleum Company is going to build an oil refinery in China. I know about this. I didn't expect them to have such a big appetite? If it weren't for the eldest brother-in-law mentioned today, it would have kept me in the dark."

Song Ziwen frowned, looked at Huang Zhonghan suspiciously, as if saying, "You are well informed! Tell me."

"You have a lot of business, I don't know that their plan is too normal.

I only heard Mr. Kong mention the specific figures that they have such a big appetite. I was a little surprised just now.

Meihua Petroleum has always had a big appetite. In the early years, it had to rely on cooperation with American oil companies. Now it can leave the Americans alone.

Since Meihua Petroleum has placed a heavy bet, it is also your trust in Ziwen!"

Huang Zhonghan smiled.

Although Jianyuan Petroleum ranks second in South China and is one of the only local oil companies in South China, the size of Hemeihua Petroleum is not at the same level.

"Yes, Meihua Oil really made a big bet."

Song Ziwen was a little unhappy at first. Why didn't Meihua Petroleum be notified of such a major domestic refinery construction? Hearing Huang Zhonghan's reminder, the unhappiness in his heart will soon disappear.

The first is that Meihua Petroleum and other Meihua companies operate independently and have their own development plans. In principle, there is no need to listen to government arrangements.Secondly, Song Ziwen is too busy, and he may not remember it.

He remembered at this time that he had discussed with Situ Nan that after the railway plan, the focus of industrial construction was shifted to the automobile industry. Petroleum refining, petrochemical, and highway plans were all supporting projects that served the automobile industry.

"You built the oil refinery on the edge of the East Lake, how to solve the pollution?" Soong Meiling questioned, frowned, and built the chemical plant next to her, she had to worry.

Song Meiling's concern is also the concern of Song Ziwen, Lin Yimin and others. Not caring about pollution does not mean not caring about the environment at the doorstep.
