Chapter 158 Invitation from the Department of Energy

Ross had just wanted to get a glimpse of the PetroChina chief's interest in bio-oil.

Unexpectedly, after the other party heard that there was oil that was half cheaper, he suddenly chased Rose like a cat that smelled the smell of fish and orangutans, and kept asking about the oil.

Ross was really annoyed by the question, so he had to speak: "Have you heard of the 'photohydrocarbon biooil' technology that the United States is researching?" ”

Excited, violently excited, the oil tycoon immediately thought clearly: "Major General Luo is so great, has he already come up with this advanced technology to replace petroleum energy?" ”

"Chairman Li is very smart! It comes to mind at once. To tell you the truth, this technology, I have research, to produce that kind of bio-oil, it should take a little time to get it out. That's why I ask you, are you willing to ask for this cheap oil? ”

The fat chairman was even more excited: "Yes, how much, how much." Major General Luo, I have read that paper, and it seems to say that the cost of bio-oil produced is only one-tenth of that of current oil! How do you say you're going to sell us half the price of oil now! ”

Ross was unhappy: "Don't be so greedy, you oil predators, you want to suck up the blood of the people of the whole country!" If I engage in this technology, I will definitely get farmers to help me grow plants in large quantities, and then I will increase the income of all farmers in the country. Give the peasants 20 percent of the profits, and our Yuta Company will make 20 percent of the profits, and after you take them to production and refine, you can also earn 10 percent of the profits by selling oil at the current price of 6 percent of the oil. What do you think? ”

"This ...... We want to refine oil, excluding the cost, only one percent of the profit, isn't it a bit less. ”

Ross got angry: "You don't have to pay for transporting oil, it's much cheaper than pulling oil from abroad." That's too little! If it's too little, I'll look for Sinopec, and in the future, I'll come up with this kind of technology, and I won't sell a drop of bio-oil to you. ”

Rose's anger made the PetroChina tycoon sweat on his forehead. apologized anxiously at the moment: "Major General Luo, please forgive me, a lot, really a lot." We are willing to cooperate with Uta, once your technology is mature, to produce bio-crude oil, how much we want, how much we want in PetroChina. This is a good business for the benefit of the country and the people, and we are willing to cooperate with Yuta Company. ”

Rose snorted, "Let's talk about it later, when I come up with this technology." Let's talk more about bio-oil. ”

With that, Rose turned and walked to the helicopter near the docks.

That Li Can was in a hurry, and quickly called the Ministry of Energy to report the news that Ross was going to engage in biooil.

Rose had only walked more than a hundred meters, and a phone call from the capital made Rose very curious.

After connecting the phone, a kind voice came from the other end: "Major General Luo, I'm glad you can answer the phone." I'm Xiao Qiang, Minister of Energy, and I heard that you are going to engage in bio-oil. We are so excited, can we trouble you to come to the capital, let's discuss the details. ”

Rose understood that it must be Li Can who reported the news, and he couldn't cry or laugh at the moment: "Minister Xiao! I do want to engage in bioenergy, but there are still many technical problems. There's no way to produce it for the time being! ”

The other end of the phone. That Minister Xiao was anxious: "We absolutely believe in Major General Luo's talent. What you say you want to do, you can definitely make it, we can discuss it first, and when the bio-oil is manufactured, we will cooperate directly. Reduce the hassle of re-negotiating! ”

Ross hesitated, the development of various projects at the moment requires money, and the more advanced the technology, the more money is needed.

This bio-oil can indeed make a lot of money, and as long as it produces crude oil, you don't have to worry about refining it into oil and selling it, just hand it over to Sinopec and PetroChina to sell. It is a good choice to borrow the sales channels of these two giants and be able to make a profit quickly.

Rose immediately agreed: "Okay, I'll come to the capital later." ”

"Okay, let's look forward to Major General Luo's arrival, goodbye."

The Secretary of Energy hung up the phone happily.

Ross sighed: "Sure enough, it's 'the bustling people in the world are all for profit, and the bustling people in the world are all for profit'!" When the bigwigs of the Ministry of Energy heard that there was money to be made, they immediately called. This world is a world of money! ”

Ross reluctantly climbed into the helicopter and ordered the pilot to fly to the capital.

The distance between the capital and Tianjing is only a few hundred kilometers, and the helicopter flew to the capital in less than an hour.

The plane landed directly at the center of state power, and groups of bigwigs from various departments were already waiting for Ross.

Minister Xiao of the Ministry of Petroleum was the first to shake hands with Ross: "Major General Luo, let's talk to us about energy first." ”

Ross nodded helplessly and followed Minister Xiao and the others into the conference room.

Inside, in front of the oval office desk, groups of leaders from the oil and energy departments were already around, each with a sign with their name written on it.

Seeing Ross coming, the crowd automatically gave him a standing ovation to welcome Rose.

After Minister Xiao beckoned Ross to sit down, he spoke directly: "Major General Luo, my country's dependence on oil, you know it even if you don't say it. The country's annual consumption of oil is about 500 million tons, of which imported oil accounts for 56%, China's oil reserves are only 6 billion tons, at the current rate, only enough for 20 years. The United States consumes 1.1 billion tons of oil a year. If China's per capita oil consumption is the same as that of the United States, the world's oil will not be enough to supply China and the United States. Energy stability is not only a matter of money, but also of national security. ”

Another deputy minister of the Ministry of Energy also sighed: "Minister Xiao is right, if we do not solve the energy problem, it will be difficult for our country to catch up with the United States." It is even more difficult for Chinese people to live a better quality of life than Americans. ”

Ross crossed his arms and sneered: "If you are really worried about national energy, you can put our Yuta arc reactor into the market!" Wouldn't the consumption of oil be reduced as soon as electric vehicles hit the market? ”

"Major General Luo! PetroChina and Sinopec have to support a lot of people, and many chemical industries are related to oil, if your cars are all electric, then millions of people will be laid off! Let's talk about your bio-oil. I heard that this kind of 'photohydrocarbon bio' oil and crude oil will not be much, and the price is cheap. ”

Rose frowned: "I talked to you about technology, and you don't understand." I'm just telling you, I can make this technology. But not now, my 'light source conversion' technology has not been fully promoted to rural areas. Bio-oil technology is difficult to develop. Because I need that kind of light conversion technology to make plants grow quickly, and then I have thousands of farmers to help me plant and harvest green plants, and finally use biotechnology to ferment and replace the process of plants evolving into oil, which is a huge project. ”

The bigwigs were excited: "Major General Luo, when will you start working on this technology, and if you need anything, we will cooperate with you, as long as you can make this cheap bio-oil, everything is easy to say." ”

Rose shook his head, "Guys, I don't need anything. As long as PetroChina and Sinopec don't stand in my way. After the oil is produced, I will sell it to you, and you will sell it to the whole country, and we will make money together. ”

As soon as Ross said this, Minister Xiao became happy: "Once bio-oil is developed, our country will solve the problem of energy security." Not only that, cheap oil prices can make China's prices drop sharply, driving sustained high-speed economic growth, and China's annual economic growth rate may exceed 15%. ”

Other people from the oil ministry were also happy: "Once the price of oil drops, more people will buy cars, and the total amount of oil consumed will increase explosively." As a result, everyone earned. ”

Ross was speechless, and wanted to remind them that if oil consumption increased significantly, China's air pollution problem would never be solved.

Electricity is the cleanest and most environmentally friendly energy source, but unfortunately, in order to avoid millions of jobs, Huaxia can only rely on bio-oil. (To be continued......)
