July 1st, southern Xiangjiang, Lamma Island.

Su Cheng, Zhang Qizheng and ten bodyguards were on a yacht, and the yacht finally docked at the west pier of Lamma Island.

The dock is very simple, and outside the dock is a crude oil refinery.

This is a rare piece of flat land on Lamma Island. If nothing goes wrong, the crude oil refinery will close down in a few years, and then the original site will be reclaimed and expanded, and a power plant will eventually be built here.

However, now with the intervention of Sioux City, all this has changed.

Lamma Island is located to the southwest of Xiangjiang Island. It was formerly known as Lamma Island, covering an area of ​​about 13.55 square kilometers. It is the third largest island in Xiangjiang, second only to Lantau Island and Xiangjiang Island.

Since the economic boom in Hong Kong in the 1970s, many young Lamma Island residents have moved out of the island to make a living. Lamma Island has developed like other rural areas, leaving the older generation on the island.

Two days ago, Zhang Qizheng, on behalf of Tianyuan Company, signed transfer contracts with two oil companies. In other words, the oil refinery in front of him is completely owned by Su City.

Tall chimneys, iron towers, oil storage tanks and steel pipes extending everywhere make this place full of industrial style.

"Boss, the director of the oil plant is in the office building in front." Stepping off the pier, Zhang Qizheng pointed to a four-story white building not far ahead and said.

"Well, let's go." Su Cheng nodded, he was quite curious about the oil refinery in front of him.

Along the way, Sioux City saw many employees wearing blue work clothes and safety helmets.

When they saw Su Cheng and others, they were also a little curious.

After all, Lamma Island is a very remote place in Xiangjiang. Usually there are no such well-dressed people coming to their place. At most, some local villagers come here occasionally to work as temporary workers.

Soon, they arrived in front of the white building.

Zhang Qizheng had obviously been here before, so he was very familiar with this place. He took Su Cheng directly to the third floor of the building and then to an office.

There are not many people in the office, only a few people, and there is a small independent room with the name Factory Director's Office on it.

When I walked into the factory director's office, I saw a middle-aged man wearing glasses writing something. When he heard a sound at the door, he raised his head.

"Mr. Zhang, why didn't you tell me when you came here so that I could greet you." The middle-aged man immediately stood up and said with a smile.

"Don't bother me. Let me introduce you. This is our boss, Mr. Su Cheng." Zhang Qizheng said to the middle-aged man.

"Ah, it turns out to be the boss. I'm sorry. It's the first time we met and I didn't recognize him. Boss, please take a seat." The middle-aged man stood up with a smile and moved a chair to Su Cheng, and then moved another chair.

To Zhang Qizheng.

After Su Cheng sat down, the middle-aged man said again: "Boss, this is our first meeting. Let me briefly introduce myself. My name is Zhou Zhou. I am the director of Nanyang Petrochemical Co., Ltd. I used to work for the Standard Company of Beautiful Country.

In an oil company, one starts as a technician and reaches the highest level as branch factory director. In 1973, World Petroleum Corporation

During the oil crisis, the company cut production and closed down a few branches. It happened that my branch was also closed down. It happened that a friend of mine in Hong Kong had built an oil refinery on Lamma Island, so I invited

I came here to be the factory director, and I have been working here since 1974 until now."

Su Cheng nodded. To be able to hold the position of branch director in Standard Oil Company, one must have good abilities.

You know, in this era, Standard Oil Company is the largest oil company in the world.

"Boss, I checked the information of Nanyang Petrochemical Co., Ltd. In the four years since the establishment of the factory, the production performance of the factory has been very good. There has not been a single accident. It's just that the original boss's strength was relatively low and the oil sales channels were relatively small. It has been difficult to develop new products.

market, so I came up with the idea of ​​selling this factory." Zhang Qizheng said with a smile.

"People who have the ability, under my command, are not afraid of not having room to develop. Since Director Zhou has good abilities, I don't have to think about finding another new director. I hope Director Zhou will do a good job. Next,

Our factory is going to expand production. I hope Director Zhou will continue to work hard and help me manage this factory. The salary will be improved to a certain extent. In short, I will not treat you badly!" Su Cheng said.

"Boss, please rest assured that I will work hard. I have worked here for 4 years and I have a deep affection for it. Although the place is remote, the environment is good. Compared with the beautiful country, I feel more comfortable working in Xiangjiang."

"Jiangjin, boss, how about I take you to visit our factory." Zhou Zhou said.

"Okay, I just wanted to visit." Su Cheng nodded.

Afterwards, everyone put on their safety helmets and Zhou Zhou led the team to visit the factory.

The entire factory area is almost composed of towering oil refining towers, numerous oil tanks of different sizes and criss-crossing pipelines.

“Our factory mainly produces petroleum fuels such as gasoline, jet fuel, diesel, and fuel oil as its main products. The main processing method is atmospheric distillation. In order to increase the yield of light oil products and meet the needs of further processing, we also have a reduction

If the entire plant is fully committed to refining crude oil, it can refine oil up to 1 million tons per year. This tonnage can also be ranked among the top three in the entire Xiangjiang." Director Zhou led Su Cheng and others on a tour.

Introduction.

Su Cheng nodded while visiting, even though he looked confused and didn't understand it at all.

"If the oil tank here is expanded, how much crude oil can it hold at most?" Su Cheng asked.

"Boss, since our Lamma Island is mainly mountainous, if we just increase the number of oil tanks, it should be able to hold about 800,000 tons at most. If we add more, we can only expand to the mountains. However, the cost is too high and it is not cost-effective.

, and our current oil tank storage capacity is only about 100,000 tons." Although Director Zhou didn't know what Su Cheng meant by asking, he still gave the answer after thinking about it in his mind.

Su Cheng nodded.

In fact, when he landed on the island, he knew that it was not suitable for building a crude oil storage warehouse.

Although Lamma Island is not small, with an area of ​​nearly 14 square kilometers, there is too little flat land. It is basically mountainous. If you want to develop it, almost the entire island will have to be bulldozed. Such a situation

, not only requires a lot of funds, but also consumes a lot of time, which is completely unrealistic.

Therefore, if you want to build a storage warehouse, you can only choose another location.

"Boss, I checked the information of Hutchison Whampoa's properties. Over in Tuen Mun, Hutchison Whampoa not only owns a land area of ​​7 million square meters, but also owns a wharf that can dock 10,000 tons. If

The boss wants to build an oil tank to store crude oil, and that’s a good place." At this time, Zhang Qizheng reminded from the side.
