Chapter Errors/Click here to report

Whether in the East or in the West, the history of oil and related natural derivatives entering human life is not necessarily later than writing. We should be proud that, judging from the existing written records, the Eastern civilization seems to be at the forefront of the development and use of oil.

Oriental civilization's understanding of oil should be more simple, as can be seen from the names such as "confusing water" and "stone paint". The Western world, on the other hand, has given more mysteries to this strange black and shiny liquid, such as "beads of devil's sweat", "glowing water" and so on.

The Indians of North America are even more remarkable, and in the ancient tradition of the Seneca Indians, this "secretion of oil from the stone" was even a mystical medicine given by the gods. In the hands of ancient Indian witch doctors, "Seneca oil" seemed to cure everything from headaches to toothaches, from deafness to diarrhea, from parasites to rheumatism.

A 19th-century "Seneca oil" merchant even wrote in a lewd-sounding advertisement: Nature's secret spring flows wholesome aromatic oils, bringing human youth and health to life; The liquid that gushes out of her esoteric place can comfort our pain and relieve our sorrow.

Regardless of whether the various claims are reliable or not, it is a well-known thing that oil can burn. Since the middle of the 19th century, the explosive demand for various mineral oils, including lighting oil, in Europe has finally led to the acceleration of oil and related natural derivatives to push the world into the era of "hydrogen carbide", and finally unstoppably ruled the whole world after gradually removing all kinds of mysteries...... February 11. Saturday.

Early in the morning, An Shaoqing, the honest Minister of Land and Resources, went straight to the store and began to choose a birthday gift for his girlfriend Zhang Li.

It's hard to say how much taste An Shaoqing, who is a nouveau riche of Wenqing, but this 17th-century birthday gift obviously can't be replaced by a red envelope full of copper smell, after all, Zhang Li's net worth will not be much worse than him.

It took almost half a day to walk from the Southern District to the Long Island New Area, and it took hundreds of dollars to select a piece of jewelry imported from Europe from Yang Wenwen's luxury store. I bought an Indian ebony jewelry box and put it on, and then went straight to Zhang Li's villa estate.

"You want us all to be carbon monoxide poisoned? What do you put so much charcoal for! ”

"I'm sorry, Miss......"

"Just know to say sorry! When will you get things done?! Didn't you say don't make something so greasy at noon in the future?! ”

"I'm sorry. Miss ......"

Before I entered the door, I heard Zhang Li angry at the European nanny in the house, and the reason was that the other party had added too much charcoal and firewood to the fireplace. The air at home is not fresh, or it is the most annoying thing to eat venison sausages at noon.

"Hey, Lili! Happy birthday! An Shaoqing, who didn't know how to read words and emotions at all, walked into the living room with a smile on his face.

"Not happy!"

Zhang Li, who is the editor-in-chief of the news column of Manchester City Radio Station, was lying on the luxury rocking chair at this time frowning, and the middle-aged European female nanny on the side looked frightened, and quickly exited the living room when she saw the hostess's powerful boyfriend arrive.

"Oh......" An Shaoqing was stunned for a moment, and sat obediently to the side with the jewelry box.

"Oh, you're big!" Zhang Li was angry and laughed, and threw the hair scarf hanging on the armrest of the rocking chair over. "It's not interesting at all, people are unhappy, you don't know how to comfort them?"

"Oh, Lili, what's wrong? You're working overtime again today? ”

An Shaoqing took a closer look. only to find out that Zhang Lili is now wearing professional clothes, maybe she has just returned from the radio station.

"And said! How can I have a boyfriend like you! Several sisters in the station are showing off today, and they and their boyfriends have combined with more than 20,000 dividends this year! I listened to your arrangement last year, but it turned out that it was only a year later, and the two of us added up to less than 15,000! I'm so! ”

Saying that, it seems that he still doesn't understand his hatred. He pulled out the pillow from behind him and threw it over.

Obviously, Zhang Li was defeated in a war of "fighting for her boyfriend". This money is small, but the face is big! What's more, An Shaoqing is still a powerful figure in this country who can grasp a lot of "inside information", but now it seems that the vision of financial management and investment is really not good.

"Now almost no one cares about the news column, for a whole year, the country is a pool of stagnant water, and there is no interesting topic to say! The station said that the news column was just an ornament! You, the minister of the government, didn't say that you would make some valuable news to make people pay attention to it?! ”

If you are unhappy, anything can be evidence, poor An Shaoqing was degraded from head to toe by his girlfriend and was useless.

Picking at the back of his head, An Shaoqing looked innocent: "Is there a difference between earning 10,000 and earning 8000...... My news is all about land exploration and the like, and the news value is very low......"

"A tiring and tiring thing without oil and water, you are still so happy to do it!" Zhang Li pouted and looked at her boyfriend dissatisfied. But An Shaoqing, who was posted by the old entity, made Zhang Li feel another kind of pride in her heart.

"Ahh By the way, I remembered, it should be valuable! Suddenly, An Shaoqing patted his head and stood up suddenly.

"Oh? Got a good idea? An Shaoqing's unexplained behavior made Zhang Li surprised.

"Last month, I led a team to the area around West Point to continue to survey the distribution of coal mines, and found an open-pit poor mine." An Shaoqing smiled and took out the map that he always carried with him, and proudly pointed to the valley basin in the northwest of West Point Town near the side of the military base, "The coal seam is okay, it is easy to peel, but it is mixed with a lot of impurities. ”

"Poor mine, but also a lot of impurities? That's a good thing! When Zhang Li heard this, she was about to lose her temper again.

"It's a lot of oil shale mixed in, and usually the coal mines throw it away." An Shaoqing blinked mysteriously, and his voice was much lowered, "I took a cursory look, it's still rich in oil shale!" Although the scale of the ore body is not large, I think it will not be much of a problem to mine for seven or eight years, right? ”

"Straight to the point!" Zhang Liliu raised her eyebrows and slapped on the map.

"Oh...... That is true. Oil shale is a type of petroleum-containing hydrocarbon. As long as the oil shale fractionation process is carried out, shale oil can be obtained, which is almost the same as oil. An Shaoqing proudly held his glasses and smiled brightly, "This oil-bearing grade, you can get dozens of kilograms of shale oil per ton at worst!" Our current chemical equipment can do it, and the technical threshold is not high. ”

"Yikes! Oil! Then we are developed! Zhang Li was surprised and delighted. hugged An Shaoqing, and his soft body rubbed An Shaoqing's face red.

"Now the state-owned energy and mining group has little interest in this poor coal mine, so I have been sorting out the materials for the past half month. It is ready to report to the cabinet and the Ministry of Industry to see if Xinhua Chemical Company is interested in opening a joint venture with the state-owned energy and mining group to open a petrochemical enterprise. Although the cost is much higher than that of direct refining of oil. But at least it's much easier than what we now make kerosene from imported natural bitumen and coal distillates, and the production is much larger, and we can get gasoline! In addition, more by-products can be obtained. This news should be valuable, right? ”

An Shaoqing took out another notebook, which listed in detail his analysis of the oil shale mine in West Point Town.

"Don't report it!" Zhang Li snatched the small notebook with her hand, turned it behind her back, and stared at a pair of big eyes menacingly, "Find a way to get this mine bag down immediately!" ”

"Huh? Wrap it up? That's a lot of money...... An Shaoqing's smile disappeared, and he awkwardly touched his beloved map, his expression unnatural, "I estimate that it will cost at least 30,000 yuan." If you want to open a factory, it will be at least 100,000. All of us combined, not so much. And even if I buy it, people will know about it in the future, and they will gossip about me behind my back......"

"What a stupid! Didn't I know that eating alone would be unlucky? What about your good friends? Let them come forward together! ”

Zhang Li hated to look at her honest boyfriend, stepped on high heels and walked into the study, and after a while, she walked in with a stack of paper and pens, and started her digital homework directly on the coffee table.

"In two days, it will be the wedding day of Su Zining and Yan Xiaosong. A lot of people will go! Many of them are your good friends, and it is said that some of them did not invest very well last year, and it is not easy to make up 100,000 yuan? But let me say first, count all your money in my share, I must be the chairman! ”

As she spoke, Zhang Li's pen flew on the paper, listing the calculated equity composition like a cake. An Shaoqing looked at it, and saw the names of Su Zining, Yan Xiaosong, Shi Wenbo, Ren Changle, Yang Wenwen, Li Xiang and others, there were about a dozen people, but after some prediction, it seemed that the funds were not enough, and there were more important things missing.

After hesitating and struggling, he still listed the name of Zhou Junting, the boss of Xinhua Chemical Company. After all, whether it can be succeeded in the end or not, it is still impossible to get rid of the technology monopoly of Xinhua Chemical Company.

"But...... Lili, didn't you say that you will get married on National Day this year, and you won't leave some money......" An Shaoqing stood cautiously by the coffee table, his face flushed.

"Married? A big man, a little ideal, okay! I won't evaporate, what are you anxious about! I've decided, I'm going to build a petrochemical monopoly, wahaha! ”

Zhang Li, a strong woman with two knives, proudly played with the pencil between her fingers, and her face was full of energy...... Tuesday, February 14, Lunar Lantern Festival.

More than 1,300 years ago, a Christian priest who was so bold as to break the decree of the Roman Emperor that the marriage promise was annulled secretly celebrated for a couple. When the matter was revealed, Father Valentine was sent to the gallows on February 14, 270 AD. Since then, Christians have designated this day as a martyrdom day, but it was only after the 16th century that it really began to become a secular holiday in the West.

……

This evening, the only Catholic chapel in the Long Island New District of Manchester City welcomed a pair of distinguished couples.

Since Yan Xiaosong was not a Catholic, it was necessary for Caterina to obtain an exemption from marriage obstruction from the bishop of the local Catholic diocese. However, due to the strict religious management system of the American Republic of China, it is clear that the Holy See has no possibility of appointing a diocesan bishop in the country, so this formalism can only be done by the priest Monte in the Catholic chapel.

Last night, Caterina came here for a proper confession and received final formal permission. The wedding with Yan Xiaosong has only come to the final procedure. Such a troublesome process made Yan Xiaosong, who had never experienced a Catholic wedding, feel much more tired than usual.

Yan Xiaosong and Caterina walked into the chapel, the pious Caterina was wearing a snow-white wedding dress, and Yan Xiaosong was still wearing a dark suit.

There were not many people present to congratulate them, but the main witnesses were the husband and wife Swenbo and Anna, as well as Cheng Daxiong, the only Catholic who had traveled through the congregation, and his girlfriend Jenny. The tedious and tedious wedding witnessing ceremony and blessing lasted for almost an hour, and after Pastor Monte had finally completed the final ceremony. Shi Wenbo coaxed and handed the marriage certificate representing the legal marriage to the newlyweds.

At the same time, in the government chapel in the southern district of Manchuria, another couple's wedding was also taking place. Su Zining and Yuan Xinyi also announced that they were naked, and this year, Su Zining was twenty-nine. Yuan Xinyi just celebrated her 26th birthday.

Compared with Yan Xiaosong's much deserted Western-style wedding scene, Su Zining and Yuan Xinyi's Chinese-style wedding has been sought after by many bigwigs in this country, and the number of guests present is second only to last year's wedding of Zheng Quan and Liu Lanxi, and the witness is the supreme judge Zhong Jinshan.

Over the past two years, many young couples have also been united "openly or secretly". Without the blessing of their parents, the parties to the marriage are desperately trying to hide the loneliness in happiness in various ways, from the wedding expenses to the banquet grade, all of which are luxurious, and the elderly have become the psychological dependence of young people to hold weddings.

As a result, President Chen Changyuan and his wife and Supreme Justice Zhong Jin shouted that the couple was becoming more and more "busy". constantly playing the role of parents, playing the image of elders for these lonely young people, filling the gaps in their marriages.

In fact, the preparations for Su Zining's wedding were not sufficient, but Yuan Xinyi had been found to be more than two months pregnant, so this wedding belonged to the classic Fengzi marriage.

Not much. Yan Xiaosong, who had finished the church wedding, also rushed over, and the atmosphere of the entire wedding scene was completely ignited. Caterina and Yuan Xinyi, who changed into red wedding dresses, are radiant, and the two grooms are the most "controversial" hot people in this new country today.

At the wedding, under the rhythmic clapping accompaniment of everyone, Cheng Daxiong and the popular radio star Jenny also sang a song "I'm going to marry you today" on the spot, which made Katarina, who had never experienced such a lively wedding, almost shed tears of happiness.

The wedding proceeds to the banquet stage. There was a strange scene in the spacious government auditorium.

Some of the old people who were too drunk gradually withdrew, and when it was almost time to disperse, the female editor-in-chief of the radio station suddenly became active, pulled her boyfriend An Shaoqing, and began to walk quietly in the crowd.

Zhang Li's "excellent good news" coupled with An Shaoqing's unobstructed default expression made Su Zining and the others secretly surprised. In particular, Shi Wenbo, who is well aware of the import and export situation of the Azorean trade, is well aware of the current dependence of the domestic chemical industry on European natural asphalt imports.

With this useless oil shale mine from the perspective of coal mines, it will not only bring some gasoline engines back to life, but also the potential demand of the military is unlimited, and the bulk civilian fuel such as kerosene is a bright prospect for the domestic and foreign markets, and the European thermal oil, which has extremely poor combustion quality, cannot be compared with kerosene at all. However, relying only on imported natural asphalt and coal distillate processing technology, today's kerosene production cannot even meet the domestic market, and the price is also very uneconomical.

The use of coal gas and final slag can also be used to produce cement for building materials, not to mention the use value of petroleum jelly, paraffin, tar asphalt, fertilizer raw materials and other by-products. Even if the most ideal efficiency cannot be achieved with the current technical equipment capabilities, it is the most advanced petrochemical industry of the 17th century.

Su Zining, who was bent on tossing Europe, was also a mess in his financial management last year, and Yan Xiaosong missed a whole year's investment; Shi Wenbo is a rich woman, and money is never a problem; Li Xiang is cautious, and he has a lot of money on hand......

The only complaint is that Ren Changle and Yang Wenwen are happy enemies, due to the business layout of Brazil, most of the funds have been advanced, and now they are looking at the fat in their mouths and can't bite into a big piece.

In the end, after Zhang Li "coerced" her boyfriend An Shaoqing's entire net worth, she became the chairman with a capital of $18,000; Su Zining and Yan Xiaosong each contributed 4,000; Shi Wenbo waved his pen and came out with 10,000; Li Xiang picked his scalp and entered 3000; Ren Changle and Yang Wenwen added up to 5,000; Xia Qiu Yu and Xia Qiu Yun sisters, each with 2000; Jiang Zhaolong, the CEO of General Industries, invested 8,000 ......

Lin Lin finally calculated, 70,000 US dollars of funds were in hand, and the remaining 30,000 US dollars of equity, Zhang Li decisively gave up to Zhou Junting of Xinhua Chemical Company, who had been smiling and silent, and several technical engineers who were present.

The Standard Oil Company was founded. This vulgar name was given by Shi Wenbo, no matter how strong the flavor of ridicule of history is, but at least for Su Zining and Yan Xiaosong, who just got married today, it is an out-and-out double happiness.

The first step was for Zhang Li and Zhou Junting to buy the poor coal mine in the name of establishing a coal chemical raw material yard, then the Xinhua Chemical Company provided technical solutions, then ordered a number of chemical equipment from the General Industry Company, and finally pulled up the banner of a petrochemical enterprise under the nose of the state-owned energy and mining group.

Wait for the official opening, and then publicly expand the shares to attract capital, in order to avoid stumbling in the eyes of others, maybe you can also get the support policy of the national finance! But in any case, the majority of interests will only be the current group of major shareholders.

According to Zhou's on-site professional planning, the future oil shale processing plant will be built in a new industrial park in the outer islands. The first phase of oil shale processing will be only 20 tons per day, in order to accumulate worker proficiency, improve technical equipment, and gradually increase production and processing capacity, and finally reach a production scale of at least 100 tons per day in 1624. When the time comes, the annual profit will be a staggering figure.

When he thought of the black face of the management of the state-owned energy and mining group from top to bottom, Ren Changle, who was extremely disgusted with the state-owned enterprise, was very happy.
