Chapter 1564 Petrochemical Cracking Project
50 million tons of oil storage project, but is a starting point, Wang Rongmin's heart is very big, next, homeopathic and put forward a 15 million tons of gasoline, 10 million tons of diesel, 10 million tons of kerosene project, gasoline and diesel can be directly supplied to the central and western regions, after some processing, kerosene into high-energy aviation kerosene, for aircraft use, which will handle 55 million tons of oil, by the way, it will be referred to as a total of about 5 million tons of deepening cracking project, the main products are ethylene, propylene, butadiene, benzene, toluene, xylene, these are common chemical raw materials from deep cracking of petroleum.

Petroleum is a natural treasure trove, he can crack a total of more than 200 different chemical raw materials, these chemical raw materials added to the chemical reaction, became the starting point of polymer materials in later generations, this era, for the use of oil, is far from the height of later generations, but ethylene, propylene, benzene, toluene, xylene The use of these materials has been quite rich, the first two are the basis of various plastic products, and the latter is the material for the production of munitions, cracking benzene from special oil, It is the basis of modern explosives, and is much more reliable than vulcanized flour and vulcanized cotton fiber.
This total amount of up to 60 million tons, will make comprehensive use of a large number of petroleum products of the project, the total investment is even larger than the Kra Canal, in the petrochemical industry has just started, the rest of the world is just feeling the stones to cross the river, China has begun to increase, from 2,000 tons of trial production, to 20,000 tons of preliminary industrialization, to now, has reached 80,000 tons of ethylene comprehensive engineering, but this is all national projects, to reach 5 million tons of deep cracking project, At least dozens of such national projects are needed, and according to each investment of 80 million to 100 million, this will require 5 billion, which is not a small amount of money, this is a big money that people can't look up.
Petrochemical projects, especially deep processing of petrochemical projects, are very profitable, once the project is completed, the benefits are also great, these will produce different industrial materials, ethylene, propylene, and a variety of polymer materials, these are China's advantageous industries, if produced here, a part of the refined oil can be transported to the west of China by rail, reducing the consumption of transporting oil, after all, because of the transportation conditions, in the western hinterland, there are few large-scale petrochemical enterprises, At most, some small, most of the petrochemical projects are concentrated in the coast, China's territory is too vast, from Shanghai to Xinjiang, thousands of kilometers of mileage, for the southwest, from Thailand to Nanning, at least than Guangzhou to Nanning is about the same, but also save this section of the sea.
Most of the refined oil will enter various regions of China through the railway, digested along the way, as for polymer materials such as ethylene, it will become a variety of materials through a series of supporting factories, direct export, from the production of things in Thailand, transported to Germany, the saving distance can be more, which will further reduce the cost, if you count the relatively low labor costs in Central and South Province, you can also use it as much as possible.
This is the role of vision, if there is no Kra Canal, the establishment of large-scale petrochemical projects in Central and South Province, even if it is reduced to 500,000 tons, is also an ordinary situation, labor costs will be offset with transportation costs, if you count the various deficiencies of labor in technology, the cost will increase slightly, but the Kra Canal is like the role of turning stones into gold, itself is a traffic artery, as long as the construction of storage projects, the rest can be rolled out.
Wang Rongmin can't even get enough money to start a project like the Kra Canal, otherwise he would be able to build a complex of 15 million tons of gasoline, 10 million tons of diesel, and 10 million tons of non-complex, with a total investment of more than 4 billion yuan, which is still in place in terms of technology and personnel, if the project of 5 million tons of deep cracking is added, the total investment required will exceed 15 billion.
But he still proposed this project, the reason is very simple, related to petrochemical projects, all are money-making projects, China vigorously promotes all kinds of motor vehicles, the current number of various motor vehicles is about 10 million, these motor vehicles, all the time, will swallow a large amount of fuel, from the oil cracking enterprises in China gas stations and petrochemical enterprises have become the best performance, million tons, tens of millions of tons, even tens of millions of tons of projects, have been invested, China's demand for fuel, is endlessWithout fuel, China's industry could shut down.
China has never lacked well-informed people, when Yang Yuanzhao expanded the scale of the Kra Canal project, many well-informed people already knew, some people believe that this is just a transportation project of the central government, but in the eyes of those who care, this is the starting point for the development of Central South Province, especially Central South Province is still controlled by Wang Rongmin.
Sure enough, this comprehensive 60 million tons of petrochemical industry, is definitely the largest in China's petrochemical industry, the cost advantage and cluster advantage brought by scale, of course, there is a disadvantage, the disadvantage of raw materials, is offset by the volume of the Kra Canal, as long as there are more than 150 million tons of oil through the Kra Canal every year, then Central South Province will not lack raw materials, when the storage of large terminals is built, Central South Province has enough capacity to digest these, which will have many benefits.
China from the beginning of reunification, is not without money, whether it is the top of the government, or the bottom of the people have a large amount of funds, Yang Yuanzhao to promote the high salary cultivation of the market method has achieved initial results, not only China has become the largest market in the world, even the weak banks have been greatly developed, the history of the Republic of China, 5 million capital scale of the bank, has been counted as a first-class large bank, but from the very beginning, the Northwest Bank and the following major commercial banks, their total capital is more than 300 million US dollars, a few years, With the development of China, with the northwest to China, their absorption of funds, has already been more than 100 times the total capital, Northwest Bank in 1916, the total capital exceeded 380 billion Northwest Yuan, that is, 190 billion US dollars, almost by the Morgan chaebol and the following family affected the total amount of funds more, the total capital of the four major commercial banks as high as 800 billion US dollars, which is also a symbol of China's strength.
However, banks need to be affected by national policies, and it is impossible to directly mobilize huge amounts of money, and they must have a plan, but some wealthy families, or several similar groups combined, come up with tens of millions, or even 100 million, a thriving, the whole province as the core of the national project, a project that may be eaten on the basis of the Kra Canal, they are ready to pay a certain price, find a project that can make money, whether it is investment, or promotion, can be done, But Wang Rongmin was different, and directly opened a way for them.
Anywhere in China, investing in petrochemical projects will not lose money, the difference is only in the speed of making money, and in Central South Province, this future Kra Canal will rush, as long as the ship comes back from the Middle East, will pass here, then the additional cost of petrochemical industry will be reduced to the minimum, can not be directly next to the oil mine, but it is not much different, in this era, the cost of oil transportation, not so high.
Thinking about this, how could these prescient people not pounce, it is not much, hundreds of millions of dollars are also improvised, one by one intentions signed, not only the first funds of large-scale storage and petrochemical projects are in place, even the preliminary investment of the Kra Canal is also in place, because whether it is Wang Rongmin or those prescient investors, they all know that the premise of everything is on the connection of the Kra Canal, no matter how much investment they make, they can only wait until the Kra Canal is completed.
The first phase of 30 million US dollars in funds, Wang Rongmin immediately made a big fanfare, China in the canal, in the architectural design of the best 12 surveying and mapping design team, received his invitation, themselves these teams have participated in this seminar, for the attitude of the central government is also well known, no money also needs to explore, let alone no money.
Wang Rongmin's movements, fell to Yang Yuanzhao, Yang Yuanzhao was happy, the central government has not started, but the local government has started first, which is equivalent to saying that it is an army for the central general, fortunately, this coincides with his next plan, since the local has done the preliminary work, the Kra Canal can indeed be completed within a year, then at least one year, at most one and a half years of navigation, even if the war ends in 1918, he can usher in one year, not to mention, in the early days of the end of the war, Based on some treaties and superficial relationships, at least within one year, oil transportation will not end, in this case, the Kra Canal will have two years of good life, after that, it is uncertain.
However, it is better to build late than to build early, such a canal related to important military purposes and economic purposes, must be in China's hands earlier, and supporting projects can also be run, 50 million tons of storage and 60 million tons of deep processing projects can also be invested, which will be designed to a large amount of funds, the central government and Yang Yuanzhao will support a part, the rest, can only rely on Wang Rongmin's self-raised, at present, Wang Rongmin self-raised good, since this aspect is good, then add a fire to them.
Soon, Yang Yuanzhao's foundation officially invested in the Kra Canal project, and the first batch of 80 million US dollars was officially injected into a special account, and then China's China Railway Corps, which is doing large-scale projects, production corps, at least 7 divisions, 350,000 people went to Zhongnan Province, accompanied by at least 45,000 large vehicles of various kinds, and the Kra Canal is ready to be explored and constructed at the same time, so that the time can be minimized and put into production as soon as possible.
