Chapter 471: A Helping Hand(1/2)
"No need. To build this pipeline, a lot of materials have to be purchased from them. It's too far for us to purchase them domestically." He Gui shook his head and said.
Nuyev immediately understood that, on the one hand, He Gui’s current status did not need to care about Kazakhstan’s reaction. Secondly, it would also bring some benefits to Kazakhstan, such as the need for cement for building roads. Now in Central Asia, Kazakhstan alone has
For cement production, it is obviously unrealistic to bring cement from the mainland.
There are also other steel bars and the like, as well as some refined oil and the like. Not just anyone can afford the refinery.
Do Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan still import refined oil products from Damao in modern times?
It doesn't mean that if you have something underground, you can mine it yourself. Exploiting oil and gas resources also requires huge investment, otherwise it will be dangerous goods.
Not to mention anything else, mining requires funds and technology. The mining area at least needs road access. Even if it is a dirt road, a road must be built, right?
Oil and gas reserves require technology and funds, not to mention refineries. This thing cannot be done without funds. There are no decent refineries in countries in Central Asia.
The first is that the country’s population is too small. After building a refinery, even if it can be refined? Who will it be exported to?
We only have the worst roads here, and it is impossible to export oil and gas resources on a large scale. The countries surrounding the Caspian Sea, including Damao in the north and Camel in the south, do not need to import other people's finished oil and gas resources.
As for using it yourself... how much oil and gas resources can be used by millions of people, but it cannot support a single refinery.
What's more, not everyone here has a car? So much is consumed there.
This results in a person who has treasures in vain, but still lives a beggar's life.
Several oil-producing countries in the Middle East are not so wealthy if they are not close to the sea. Unless it is pipelines, the cost of transporting refined oil by land is too high.
Of course, if modern America plunders something for free, this problem does not exist.
There are many places in Africa's interior that are rich in oil and gas resources, but why haven't they made a fortune?
It's just because of cost.
Everyone had a lively meal, and representatives from several countries were also preparing to have a big fight. You must know that with such a large investment, your own benefits are indispensable. Even those outsourced projects are enough for these people to make a lot of money.
Take a look at the Kazakh food, your mouth is full of oil when you eat it.
The next day, He Gui and representatives from the four countries issued an online media press conference, announcing that they had signed an investment agreement with the four countries.
The funds are in place and operations have begun. It is just preliminary preparation work. Exploration will have to wait until May. It is still very cold here, but related equipment and other related equipment can be prepared. Not to mention sending cars to these countries.
, it’s still difficult, we can only transport it from Kazakhstan, and then transport it from Kazakhstan to there.
We have also placed orders for cement plants and steel bars factories in Kazakhstan, where we are building oil fields, roads, and oil and gas pipelines.
The time between the two is estimated to be about the same, mainly for large oil field equipment, which are not available in these four countries and need to be imported. Importing from the mainland is not cheap, but importing from Damao is cheaper, and it can be shipped directly from the Caspian Sea.
…
However, the construction of corresponding terminals, oil storage, pipelines, etc. also takes a long time.
How much equipment is needed for a large oil field is an astronomical number. How much oil storage equipment is needed? There are also pipelines in the oil wells and oil storage areas in the oil field.
In addition, several very large oil storage equipment must be built between the oil and gas pipelines. On the one hand, it is to reserve oil and gas resources, and on the other hand, it makes time for equipment maintenance. For example, if this section is inspected, then this section can be stopped and both sides will not stop.
, the upper section is stored in the oil storage facility, and the later section uses the oil and gas in the oil storage facility.
Of course, it is also for the sake of market security. If you have a certain amount of reserves, you will not be afraid of market fluctuations and unexpected situations.
It is also convenient to increase reserves when oil prices are negative, and to reserve natural gas when natural gas prices are negative.
Negative oil prices and negative natural gas prices may be laughed at by others now, but they will actually exist later. What the hell is this called a normal market?
Therefore, the futures market and the financial market are completely controlled by capitalists.
There would be no negative oil prices in a slightly normal market. In fact, the United States is suppressing Mao Mao, and we are also taking advantage of it. Anyway, the world is like this. There are only interests between countries, no favors, and people talk to each other.
There are few favors, let alone one appointment.
If the previous one agreed, then I must oppose it. Otherwise, whoever can remember me will be the prime minister who has been the Prime Minister for the shortest time. This is destined to go against the historical record. If it were another one, who would be able to remember you.
Moreover, according to international oil prices, He Gui will not lose money, because pipeline transportation is the cheapest, and of course the investment is huge, so there is no possibility of losing money on He Gui's oil and gas pipelines.
However, the specific route this oil and gas pipeline should take is a matter for the above.
"You've worked hard these past few days. You can have a good rest when you return to Hong Kong Island tomorrow." After the press conference, and then eating and drinking again, He Gui returned to the place where he lived and saw the assistant cleaning up the house, so he said.
"It's not hard, the boss has been hard these days."
"It's nothing hard for me." In fact, He Gui doesn't have the hard work of others. The other legal affairs are hard work. He reads the documents in the middle of the night and signs them in Chinese and English. The English words need to be reviewed repeatedly.
, although it has been reviewed previously.
Originally there were waiters here, or beauties specially selected from the local area. Originally there were no waiters in the guest house, but this time the people who came here were of high level, so they must provide service, right?
But I don’t know how I got to He Gui’s side. Even the assistant came to serve him in person... He Gui didn’t ask, because it was the assistant who was connected here, and there were a lot of documents in He Gui’s room, so He Gui didn’t ask.
.
"Xiao He..." The head of the hair committee also lives on this floor, but there are several rooms away from He Gui. He Gui's room is surrounded by bodyguards and assistant teams on both sides.
Representatives from the four countries lived downstairs. He Gui stood up immediately when he saw the visitor. Unexpectedly, the visitor said directly: "Sit down, I will go back tomorrow. I am here to ask for your opinion. This oil and gas pipeline should go
What direction?"
When He Gui heard this, he shook his head and said, "I can't say that. It still depends on your plan."
…
"Oh, please tell me in detail."
The assistant poured the visitor a cup of tea, and the visitor said, "Thank you."
Then the assistant went out and closed the door. He Gui said, "It depends on the industrial layout. Oil and gas are important chemical raw materials and energy sources."
The visitor understood that the layout He Gui mentioned could only be done by the superiors, so he asked: "So Xiao He, what do you think the industrial layout should be done?"
"Heavy industry must rely on the sea, and the price of sea transportation is the lowest, whether it is importing or exporting."
"Light industry and high technology can actually be placed in the mainland because they don't need huge transportation capacity."
The person who came here was actually here to ask for He Gui's opinion. He was afraid that if he made a decision, other problems would arise from He Gui's side, which would not look good.
"I personally have no opinion on where the oil and gas pipelines go. They are all investments anyway. The previous one goes along the Yangtze River, so I personally think this one should be in the direction of Kyoto and Shandong. In addition, for oil, don't we have to build one or three pipelines?
Oil and gas pipelines cover the whole country." He Gui said.
The visitor nodded: "I actually plan to take this route to Kyoto and Shandong. The quality of oil and gas here is very good. When we get to Kyoto, the price of gas for our residents can be greatly reduced."
"I just have to follow the orders anyway. The specific exploration and construction still need to be supervised by the superiors."
"Haha, we will definitely supervise it."
Construction, exploration, and He Gui are all outsourced. He Gui provides a supervisor himself, so there is no need to do anything on his own.
After finishing a cup of tea, Da Toutou said goodbye, preparing to return to Kyoto tomorrow to take care of this matter first. This is the first major event since its establishment. If you know where the oil and gas pipelines go, the local area will definitely benefit.
It is also effective in stimulating and stimulating the local economy, so there are many things in it.
He Gui saw this person off at the door. The assistant lived opposite. When he heard that the person was leaving, he came over to pack the tea sets and other things.
"Boss, when will you return to Hong Kong Island?" the assistant asked after finishing cleaning up.
He Gui was reading the recent news clippings, mainly between America and Camel, and Mandia Yew. When he heard this, he replied: "There are still some confidential research over there in Chang'an."
"What about us? Our department seems to be dispensable now?" the assistant said as he sat peeling an apple for He Gui.
He Gui said: "How can it be dispensable? It's just that Baian Aircraft Company has a relatively high level of confidentiality. It's not convenient for you to have contact with it. It would be bad for you if we did."
"It feels like there's nothing we can do." The assistant peeled the apple and cut it into small pieces.
"The situation is so complicated now. I will give you a month's leave temporarily. I estimate that it will take another month." He Gui said while reading the newspaper clippings.
"Okay then." The assistant took the plate and placed it next to He Gui. He hesitated to speak, and finally said three words.
"You should go back and rest first." He Gui felt that the atmosphere was a bit ambiguous. The heating in the room was very sufficient, so he wore less clothes and the assistant's clothes were cooler. In addition, he had eaten a lot of beef and mutton in the past few days, so he was slightly
There is a bit of restlessness, but what kind of environment is it like here?
…
"Boss, please go to bed early and call me if you need anything." The assistant nodded and left.
He Gui shook his head, washed his face, and then opened the window. He shivered in the cold wind, and the restlessness disappeared immediately, and he quickly closed the window.
Continuing to read the newspaper clippings, the American Yew Planting Alliance has officially established a beverage company and is expected to launch its first product, yew sparkling water, within a month.
When He Gui saw this, he also chuckled. No matter what pharmaceutical company or pharmaceutical management company there is in the West, they can't do anything with these people. No matter how influential your pharmaceutical company is in the pharmaceutical field, if they don't enter your field, you will
What to do?
Although there is Internet here, why don't you use the Internet here? As long as there are railways in the country, there is Internet.
Tietong's profit last year was tens of billions, half of which was handed over to the railway department. The railway department will definitely not turn it over.
Now there are two profitable companies under the Ministry of Railways, one is Tietong and the other is TBM. Tietong is a joint venture with He Gui, and the same is true for TBM.
Now that the railway department has money, it has started to carry out large-scale construction. It is of course impossible to turn it over to Lilan. Many places do not have railways. It’s okay if you don’t allocate money from above. We will invest on our own...
The next day, He Gui first asked a private plane to take him to Chang'an, and then sent his assistant and others back to Hong Kong Island.
Back at the guest house, He Gui was not going to go to the factory today because it was almost noon.
In the guest house, He Gui took out the notes he had taken at the company and continued to read them. You just need to read more and remember more.
To be continued...
