Lin Wei was stunned. He shook the red wine glass like a character in a Hong Kong movie, but some of it spilled out due to his unskilled movements. He quickly stabilized himself, stretched his neck and sucked a little white wine into his mouth, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Yao Yuan rolled his eyes at this.
"Yes, yes, the policy seems to allow it, that is, if an individual opens an oil refinery, will it be..." Lin Wei couldn't find the right words.
Yao Yuan said, "Do you think this kind of business should be done by state-owned enterprises?"
"Well..." Lin Wei chuckled.
Yao Yuan stared and said, "Look at your potential. The state has issued regulations and clearly stated that it encourages the introduction of private capital, petrochemicals, transportation, shipping, etc. This is an industry that benefits the country and the people. If you have the opportunity and the ability to do it,
Why are you hesitating?"
"I didn't hesitate. If you want to engage in petrochemicals, I will definitely support you." Lin Wei changed the topic and said, "But Ayuan, you majored in mechanics, do you know about petrochemicals? Petrochemical plants are not opened just as soon as they are opened.
The technical requirements are very high.”
Yao Yuan looked at Lin Wei in surprise and asked, "You seem to understand him very well?"
Lin Wei chuckled, raised his chin, and said, "There is a classmate in our class who is a technical cadre from Nangang Petrochemical and is studying full-time. We live in the same dormitory."
"Oh? What kind of class are you in? Why are there still on-the-job technical cadres studying off-the-job?" Yao Yuan asked curiously.
Lin Wei was stunned for a moment and glared angrily, "I've told you many times that this is a full-time undergraduate course run by Nangang School of Finance and Economics specifically for mid-level and senior cadres. It takes two years to complete the entire course! It's not a correspondence course, you know?
?”
It was like something that he regarded as a treasure. He thought it was the same in the eyes of others, but now he realized that it was just like this in the eyes of others. The anger and disappointment, a little ashamed, had a rich look on Lin Wei's face.
, multi-level presentation.
Yao Yuan was amazed.
"No, no, just ask if you don't understand. Besides, there are so many things I can't remember, and my memory is not as good as yours." Yao Yuan quickly sent a rainbow fart.
Lin Wei's anger subsided a little.
He said, "To refine crude oil into usable gasoline or diesel requires a lot of professional equipment, a lot of professional workers, and a lot of money..."
Yao Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, I understand. But there is a way to solve it faster."
"What can we do?" Lin Wei asked.
Yao Yuan spread his hands and said, "As for our ability, if we don't have skilled workers, we'll hire them. We'll hire them with high salaries. We'll set up vocational and technical schools to train workers. If we don't have equipment, we'll buy it. If we don't have it in China, we'll buy it from abroad. Anyway, we have foreign exchange."
He suddenly said, "Besides, isn't there a Huashi Machinery Factory? If we can find a factory, we can even develop our own petrochemical machinery and equipment. You forgot what I studied, I studied mechanics, no matter it is
Engineering machinery or petrochemical machinery, they all belong to machinery."
Lin Wei thought for a while and said, "But, that will take a lot of time, right?"
Yao Yuan chuckled and said, "Thankfully you worked in a state-owned enterprise. You underestimate the power of our workers. If you don't believe me, I'll make a bet with you. It only takes half a year to build a refinery with a crude oil processing capacity of 500,000 tons a year."
Build it.”
"Wait a minute, are you going to build a refinery or a petrochemical plant?" Lin Wei asked.
It seems that this fat guy has been chatting with his Nangang Petrochemical classmate a lot, and he knows that an oil refinery and a petrochemical plant are two different things. In other words, he knows the essential difference between the two.
From the perspective of the industrial chain, the refinery is in front of the petrochemical plant. Simply put, the refinery processes crude oil into gasoline, diesel, etc., and the rest is processed into chemical products by the petrochemical plant. The former is upstream and the latter is downstream.
They are two factories on the same line.
Petrochemical industry in a broad sense includes the above two.
Yao Yuan said, "The relationship between upstream and downstream is two factories on one line."
"Build an oil refinery first and then a petrochemical plant?" Lin Wei asked.
Yao Yuan smiled and shook his head, "Just do one, both oil refining and chemical products."
Refining and chemical integration is still a very unfamiliar production method at present. It is already available abroad, but for the Chinese people, it is still in a state of half-understanding.
Simply put, gasoline and diesel are produced from oil refining, and ethylene is produced from petrochemicals. Ethylene is one of the most produced chemical products in the world. The ethylene industry is the core of the petrochemical industry. Ethylene products account for more than 75% of petrochemical products.
, the world has regarded ethylene production as one of the important indicators to measure the development level of a country's petrochemical industry.
In 1986, the first phase of the 300,000-ton ethylene project in Daqing was completed and put into operation. How significant was it? It was so important that it was included in middle school textbooks and was an important part of politics classes.
Products produced with ethylene as raw material almost cover our lives. From weapons and equipment to clothing, shoes and hats, they have a wide range of uses that no chemical product can match. It can even be used as a ripening agent for fruits and vegetables!
This stuff is so important.
According to Yao Yuan's idea, it would be great to build an ethylene plant. The profit in this area is the most powerful. On the contrary, in the oil refining area, the profit is not very high.
However, when he thought about the crazy competition between two barrels of oil in the late 1990s and early 21st century, Yao Yuan had to take the upstream industry into his own hands, otherwise he would be strangled by the time and have no place to get raw materials.
The problem is that if we build an integrated refining and chemical plant, we won’t be able to build it within two or three years.
The top priority is to first get rid of the 300,000 tons of crude oil, which has been sitting in the Tyumen Oilfield and costs a lot of money every day.
The most important thing is to use this batch of crude oil to build a refinery. After acquiring Huashi Machinery Factory in the future, we will have a solid foundation to enter the field of petrochemical machinery and equipment manufacturing.
Before the fight even started, Yao Yuan was already thinking about how to arrange the Huashi Machinery Factory in the future. Perhaps this was the strong self-confidence of those with advanced awareness.
"Build one? Build the refinery and petrochemical plant together?" Lin Wei asked.
Yao Yuan said, "It's not just as simple as building them together, but merging the two into one to form a complete chain that produces gasoline, diesel and ethylene at the same time."
"I've never heard of this." Lin Wei shook his head and said.
It's weird to hear about it.
Yao Yuan thought of this and kept saying, "Let's go and find a site now. The location of the petrochemical plant is very important."
"You want to do it all at once!" Lin Wei said with a helpless smile.
Yao Yuan touched Lin Wei's glass, drank the remaining half of the glass of liquor in one gulp, and said, "Aren't you worried about how to spend the billions of dollars in your account? I'm here to relieve your worries. Let's go.
."
Lin Wei also finished his drink quickly and followed Yao Yuan downstairs with the remaining wine.
Jiang Yong drove, Yao Yuan sat in the passenger seat, and Lin Xiaohu and Lin Wei sat in the back seat. Lin Wei was still thinking about chatting with Yao Yuan about how to spend money on the way, but not long after the car started, Yao Yuan fell asleep with his head tilted.
It’s on.
Jiang Yong took a look and said, "Drunk."
"Ayuan's drinking capacity is not that bad." Lin Wei said.
Lin Xiaohu said, "I'm under a lot of pressure, I have something on my mind, and I get drunk easily."
The three of them were silent for a moment, and then Jiang Yong asked, "Xiao Wei, where are we going?"
"Longshui Island is the island over Long Beach." Lin Wei said.
This is what Yao Yuan said when he went downstairs.
Jiang Yong didn't talk nonsense, stepped on the accelerator and drove away, driving very smoothly so that Yao Yuan could sleep more peacefully.
