Although Nangong Hou looks a little nervous, his ability is really good, especially for the mechanical part, he is really proficient, as long as he is given some simple equipment, parts and raw materials, there is basically no problem for him to design and assemble oil refining equipment.

With him in the lead, this oil refinery, no, it should be said that the oil refining workshop is changing day by day, Lin Ziran hired a lot of local young people as workers, and asked Qingshan Commercial Bank to help dig up a few people with a little technology from the county, which can be regarded as reluctantly building this oil refinery, which is actually a small oil refining workshop.

Although the plant is only a little bit and the equipment is very simple, it can finally refine oil!

Now that the refinery has been built, its refining capacity has actually exceeded its current crude oil production.

Well No. 1 is just an artificial well, and the output is only a little more than two barrels a day, which is really a pitiful amount of production.

Lin Ziran is waiting for the second well, the second well is a mechanical well, the current drilling depth has reached more than 80 meters, and when they are more than 70 meters, they have actually discovered oil infiltration, which also gives Lin Ziran great confidence to let the construction team continue to drill down.

But how deep you have to dig to find the oil layer is an unknown.

A few days later, during this period, the Tsingshan Commercial Bank had already begun to sell kerosene, because the quantity was not large, only about 3,000 liters a month, and the Qingshan Commercial Bank was able to retail it by itself.

And the sales momentum is very good, although the price is only slightly cheaper than whale oil a few constant points, but kerosene burns steadily, there is no peculiar smell when burning, the lights are bright, and more importantly, whale oil is extremely out of stock no matter where it is this year.

Due to the continuous impact of years of war, especially the fact that a large number of whaling ships were requisitioned by many coastal feudal towns for military service, the production of whale oil was extremely limited, and it was in short supply in the market, otherwise it would not have risen to a sky-high price of 50 constant cents per liter.

In this case, in fact, whether it is kerosene or whale oil, as long as it is spot, there is no need to sell it at all.

Seeing that kerosene is selling well, but the supply of the refinery is always only about 100 liters a day, which makes Sun Guan unable to sit still, he found Lin Ziran and asked cautiously: "My lord, there is an urgent shortage of fuel oil on the market now, how much kerosene can be eaten on the market, I don't know when the output of this kerosene will be raised?" ”

Lin Ziran pressed his hand, and said while drinking tea: "Shopkeeper Sun doesn't need to worry, this expansion will take time, don't be in a hurry!" ”

Lin Ziran said calmly, but in fact, he was in a hurry, and it took a lot of time before and after, and the capital was invested a lot, but the No. 2 well in the oil field never produced oil, what could he do.

No way!

You can only wait!

Even if the second well does not produce oil in the end, the third well will have to be drilled in a different place, which may delay even longer.

Sun Guan saw Lin Ziran's calm appearance, and secretly said in his heart, his concentration was really worse, and he was much calmer when he looked at Lin Yingguan.

In the face of the kerosene market of six or seven thousand Hengyuan a month or even more kerosene, he can still drink tea calmly.

No wonder he can be the battalion officer of the patrol battalion, just with this determination, he has to be admired.

Sun Guan felt that he had behaved too badly, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea to hide the embarrassment on his face, and then said: "The subordinates are not determined enough to make the adults effective, just look at Huang Cancan's Hengyuan in front of him, but it is a pity that he can't make money, recently there have been rural merchants who have asked if they can enter our kerosene, but we can't get the goods here." ”

Lin Ziran nodded slightly, and continued to smile: "Shopkeeper Sun is serious, he can take care of this Qingshan Commercial Bank in an orderly manner, and if he looks at Qingshan Town, he can't find a second person." ”

"As for this kerosene matter, shopkeeper Sun, you can improve the channel first, and then when the output comes up, we will distribute the goods as soon as possible!"

Sun Guan said: "What my lord said is that his subordinates have already started to distribute goods in nearby villages and towns, and they have also begun to contact other village merchants and commercial houses in other towns, show them samples, and agree to provide a batch for them to sell when the kerosene arrives!" ”

"In addition, the subordinates have also sent people to Sanyang Ferry to set up a branch, and also sent people to the ports on both sides of the Luo River to collect relevant information, and it will definitely not delay future sales!"

Lin Ziran is still very satisfied with Sun Guan's ability, although he doesn't say how good it is, but it is also decent, and this is enough.

After chatting again, Sun Guan went back, he was also a busy man, and there were a lot of things waiting for him in Qingshan Commercial Bank.

As soon as Sun Guan left, he saw Luo Mazi walking in, with an excited smile on his face, this person hadn't arrived yet, he just shouted: "My lord, it's oil, it's oil!" ”

When Lin Ziran heard this, he immediately got up: "No. 2 well has oil?" ”

Luo Mazi nodded continuously: "Yes, the No. 2 well has produced oil, but the little one just now saw the black oil coming out like this!" ”

When Lin Ziran heard this, he couldn't sit still, just listening to this adjective, he knew that the No. 2 well must be producing oil, and the output was definitely not small.

This hurriedly walked out quickly, and at the same time said: "Prepare the horse, go to the oil field!" ”

At this time, Scar also happened to arrive in the side hall, and after hearing this conversation, he also hurriedly followed Lin Ziran, and said at the same time: "My lord, is there oil coming out of the oil field?" ”

Lin Ziran said: "Not bad. ”

Although Scar is a bandit who can't read big characters, he also knows that kerosene is refined from oil, and he also knows that kerosene can make a lot of money.

However, Scar is the same as Luo Mazi and others, they can't understand how to refine kerosene from oil.

In fact, at present, except for Lin Ziran and Nangong Hou, there is no third person who knows the principle of refining kerosene, those workers are illiterate and only maintain the most basic operation, as for those technical backbones, they only understand the mechanical aspect, and the rest are all half-understood.

Although Scar and Luo Mazi don't know what the principle is, they don't care about this, they only care about when the kerosene production capacity can come up, and then make more money.

Soon, Lin Ziran took people on horses and quickly rushed to the oil field.

Now he desperately wants to see the No. 2 oil well, to see the oil!

In Lin Ziran's eyes, it was not oil, but flowing gold!
