Chapter 475: The Oil Problem
In the distance, there are a few kowtow pumping machines on the ground, and five magnificent black Land Rovers come from the road, followed by cars such as sedans, Jeep 212s and Wranglers. The whole team, the style of the front and the back is different!
It's still a little cold in the wilderness of the northeast, and the cold wind blowing from the north is still biting. Lin Qiangsheng took the delegation and Zhu Rong and other entourage to visit the 300,000-ton ethylene petrochemical project and the supporting refinery construction project that was relaunched this year under the leadership of Wan Chunpeng, director of the Daqing Petroleum Administration Bureau and Wang Tao, general manager of the petrochemical plant.
Watching the unique pipelines and large equipment of the petrochemical plant being sent into the air by a huge crane, Lin Qiangsheng couldn't help but be a little fascinated.
The workers stood as small as ants in the steel jungle, as if they were serving a giant of steel, and when the time came, the giant would stand up and throw off the ants on his body and gallop forward!
He couldn't help but ask the engineer next to him, "What do these pipelines mean by their different colors?" ”
The engineer explained to him, "The color identification of chemical plant refinery pipelines is an industry standard, not a random color that we decide. For easy identification at a glance, red is generally used to represent steam, green to represent water, sky blue to represent wind, yellow to nitrogen, black to sewage, and most of the other uncolored pipelines are raw material or product pipelines. ”
"Good, good! And are all these large-scale equipment produced by the oil field itself? Lin Qiangsheng looked at the large equipment that had been installed, so he asked.
"Many of them are designed by ourselves, and more than 40 sets of equipment such as two sets of atmospheric and vacuum units, thermal cracking units, catalytic cracking units, delayed coking units, and platinum reforming units for 300,000 tons of ethylene are completely produced by our factory! We have more than 100 supporting factories and more than 150,000 employees! "The engineer is about 40 years old, but when it comes to this, I am very proud.
Team leader Zhu Rong used to be the deputy director of the National Combustion Power Bureau, and he also has a deep relationship with the petrochemical industry.
He said to Lin Qiangsheng: "If the 401 project agreement is reached, the construction of Dongxing's petroleum and petrochemical plant can use a large number of domestic petrochemical machinery, which not only saves foreign exchange, but also the quality of many of our equipment can be comparable to foreign products!" ”
Director Wang Tao said with a smile: "And it also saves transportation costs in China." And we can also be responsible for the later maintenance to give you a preferential price, compared with foreign companies in our Daqing Oilfield is much more convenient! ”
Wan Chunpeng and Wang Tao are also playing this idea, in their opinion, Daqing Oilfield sells a lot of oil every year, although it can also earn a lot of foreign exchange for the country, but if foreign businessmen purchase their machinery, it would be better, then their oilfield will open up a financial source, and in the field of domestic petrochemical machinery is the first to create foreign exchange enterprises!
He was accompanied by the president of the Petrochemical Design Institute. He and the two technicians were holding the drawings and discussing with several foreign engineers brought by Lin Qiangsheng.
Of course, Lin Qiangsheng also wants to purchase domestic products as much as possible to save costs, at least the later maintenance is much more convenient, so he nodded and said: "The procurement will try to tilt towards the domestic, but I hope that the quality and technical level of your products can be improved, at least to reach the level of foreign countries in the late seventies to early eighties, because the technology that our Dongxing Group can buy in several oil companies in Europe and the United States is also very advanced!" ”
Saying that, Lin Qiangsheng said to the two: "Our quality inspection is very strict, I hope your products will pass!" ”
Wang Tao and Wan Chunpeng glanced at each other, and the two felt that this was really the world's newspaper!
Their previous refusal to provide Dongxing with 5 million tons of oil per year has led to a somewhat rigid relationship between the two parties. But it's also something that can't be helped. The country's oil resources are not up to them, and it is true that the Daqing Oilfield cannot be sold to anyone, and this needs to be studied and decided by the competent authorities at a higher level.
Zhu Rong also knows about this, Lin Qiangsheng plans to purchase 5 million tons of oil from the state every year, due to the huge amount of purchase, this is not an easy decision!
Of course, Lin Qiangsheng is also ready for a marathon negotiation, even if Wang Yongqing has a TW background and the need for united front, Formosa Plastics and China have been talking for nearly 3 years!
Lin Qiangsheng has some patience, but he is also easily affected by some emotions. For example, the rules and regulations that are now bound on the heads of enterprises in China, what quotas, what to take care of the needs of all parties!
Lin Qiangsheng began to want to establish a joint-stock petroleum and petrochemical enterprise with several subordinate oilfields of Daqing Oilfield. However, the state has concerns about cooperation in this oil resource.
Daqing Oilfield is the only enterprise in China that can produce 50 million tons of oil per year, and the foreign exchange created every year ranks first in China. Whether it is to control energy, stabilize foreign exchange earnings, or take care of good-neighborliness, it is impossible to take out it and make joint ventures with foreign businessmen. The state could not come up with so much money to participate in the joint venture of the Dongxing Group, and it refused to leave the oil field and had no money, and the competent authorities and upper leaders were in a dilemma for a while!
Lin Qiangsheng actually had another calculation in his heart, he knew that China used a large amount of oil exports to earn foreign exchange in the seventies and eighties. Daqing Oilfield has been engaged in increasing production year after year and vigorously exporting.
Now China is still in the excitement of getting rid of the hat of an oil-poor country, and feels that he is not afraid of heaven and earth, and even nature can conquer it!
Among them, Daqing Oilfield has the most output, most of the 50 million tons of oil per year are exported, and it has been working for 20 consecutive years.
But in the early nineties, as China's economy grew and the amount of oil used increased year by year. By then, China will quickly change from an oil exporter to a net oil importer!
Although there are many reasons, there are many reasons why our oil production has not caught up with economic growth and oil demand, but more reason is that China's oil industry, led by Daqing Oilfield, has blindly expanded production in order to earn foreign exchange through exports, squandered non-renewable resources that should have flowed for a long time, and hurt the vitality of China's petroleum!
China does not have a planned oil reserve like foreign countries, is blindly optimistic about the oil industry, and ignores sustainable development and destroys a large number of consumption and destruction of the whole industry. With the precious foreign exchange exchanged for oil, the washing machine production line was replaced, and the outdated TV production line was replaced, which gave some people the opportunity to go abroad, these people are the so-called "returnees", most of these people studied abroad with public funds, and most of them stayed abroad after taking the foreign exchange exchanged by the state for non-renewable resources!
From the central to the local level, the leaders and managers of these oil companies lack a long-term vision, disrupt resource-consuming production, and have no overall view of the future, knowing that the West has generally established a strategic oil reserve system after two rounds of oil crises.
Lin Qiangsheng also wants to establish his own oil reserve base, coupled with the practical needs of the petroleum and petrochemical enterprises that Dongxing is preparing to establish, he plans to purchase 5 million tons of oil from the Daqing Oilfield every year for the first three years, and then increase it to 10 million tons per year every year.
But now it has encountered a grim situation, Daqing exports less than 10 million tons of oil to the country every year, a decrease of more than half at once, Daqing Oilfield can not accept the country can not accept!
Thinking of this, Lin Qiangsheng shook his head, and his excitement was reduced by a few points when he saw the large oil refineries and large petrochemical bases he had seen in the past few days.
Seeing the look on the face of this young foreign businessman, several leaders of the oilfield thought that Lin Qiangsheng was not very satisfied with the self-produced equipment, so Wan Chunpeng said sonorously: "Our petrochemical machinery and equipment can stand the test, I can say that many of our equipment is not inferior to foreign countries, Mr. Lin can organize foreign experts to conduct a comprehensive test of our equipment, I have confidence in the self-produced machinery and equipment in the oilfield!" ”
Wan Chunpeng's words also won the solidarity and support of other oilfield people present, Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said generously: "Testing must be done, although you have feelings for your own things, but if the equipment is unqualified, don't hide it, if we have it, we will change it, then we will be encouraged, just continue to work hard!"
