Not long after the Executive Committee passed the new system reform, An Lan, who is the Minister of Land and Resources of Australia, called the people he usually friends with and had close dealings with him, saying that he had booked a private room at the Shangri-La Hotel of Huangfu Big Fatty, and everyone must go at that time.

Looking at An Xiaopang's mysterious look, the invited people fell into confusion, this system reform has just been promulgated, this little fat man invited himself to dinner, should he have any thoughts about this matter, everyone knows, two months later, it will enter a new round of formal elections and the formation of political parties, and now all kinds of friends are discussing this matter after work.

But this little fat man doesn't seem to be very interested in power, so he won't be interested in this matter, is it usually pretended, if that's the case, it's too scary, it's too scary, the scheming is deep enough, but after thinking about it, if the people who finish politics don't have the snack, they can't do it, and they won't be played to death by others, anyway, since An Xiaopang is invited, it's not easy to refuse, and I'll know the situation when we meet in the evening.

The time entered at half past five in the afternoon, An Lan rushed to the door of the Shangri-La Hotel as soon as he got off work and waited for the people he invited, which made Huang Fu and Huang Fat stunned, this is the first time to see An Xiaopang invite someone to dinner and stand at the door so ceremoniously to greet him, which seems to reveal all kinds of unusualness.

Although Huang Fu is not much interested in politics, but as a member of the Zhongli, he knows that it is right to have a good relationship with the official, although this An Xiaochubby Ministry of Land and Resources is a cold yamen, but after all, he is the head of a department, maybe he will be transferred to another department one day, and it is right to have a good relationship with himself.

"Minister An, I see that it's quite hot for you to stand here, why don't you wait in the box first, I'll be here to greet you, how about bringing you in." Huang Fu said with a respectful smile, although it is March, Australia is located in the southern hemisphere, the climate is very different from China, and it is now in the autumn of Australia, although the temperature has dropped in the evening, but it is still a little hot.

"Boss Huang, you're welcome, you can get busy first, I'll be fine at this station, and people will be there soon." An Lan rejected Huang Fu's kindness, and then Huang Fu smiled and said goodbye: Then I'll go in first, if you have an order, I'll be there immediately.

"Okay." Looking at Huang Fu's chubby back and walking towards the hotel hall, An Lan shook his head helplessly, this person really doesn't want to say, it is indeed suitable to do the hotel business, if you want to say that the person who is familiar with everyone in the entire Manchester City base is this yellow fat man.

"Hey, An Xiaopang, what is the matter with calling us so mysteriously, it shouldn't be that you also have any thoughts about the new system." Just as An Lan was stunned, a voice came from behind him, this person is currently the head of the chemical group, Shi Tao, who was an engineer at a chemical plant under PetroChina before the crossing, and he was also a turtle.

"Stone, you go in first, go to the 201 private room to drink some tea and eat some melon seeds first, and then start the meal when everyone comes."

"There are still people!" Listening to An Lan's tone of introduction, it seems that he is not the only one who is invited, Shi Tao is more sure of what he thinks in his heart, this little fat man must have some ideas, it seems that he is ready to do a big job.

About ten minutes later, the people invited by Anlan had already arrived one after another, and after waiting for the waiter to bring up the food and wine, they pushed out of the room, and after the door into the box was gently closed, Anlan's chubby baby fat face showed a smile: "The main reason for inviting everyone here today is to discuss with you." Let's dry this glass of wine first, so that we can cross together is also a toast to fate. ”

After everyone raised their glasses and drank the wine: "Lin Youde picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth and ate it: Xiaopang, if you have anything to say, you can say it directly, no one here is an outsider, do you have any ideas about the election in two months." ”

The reason why Lin Youde said this was because he saw that the people sitting here were basically people who were usually good friends with Xiaopang, so he asked like this.

"Brother De, you misunderstood, I'm not very interested in politics, I just want to invite you to make a money-making deal together, if you do it well, we will be the world's richest oil tycoons in the future." An Lan smiled smugly.

"Wait, oil tycoon, did you discover the oil mine," Zhao Shijie looked at An Xiaopang with a surprised face, the little fat man has been running out these days, he knows what to investigate, and now when he heard this, he immediately thought about whether he had discovered the oil field.

"Yes, that's right, An Lan replied with a sincere face, this Western Australia is one of the few points of Australia's oil reserves, as long as you explore carefully, you can find out."

"According to what you mean, oil is going to be exploited," Shi Tao put down his chopsticks and looked at An Lan calmly: "Do you know how difficult it is to mine now?" Even extracting oil refining is a problem, which requires a complete set of equipment. ”

"Stone, what you said is in modern times, we can still refine it without equipment, and the records of oil in ancient times have long been recorded in history books." Then An Lan memorized a historical document he knew.

The book "Book of Changes" of the Western Zhou Dynasty mentions that "there is fire in Ze" and "fire on fire and on Ze". Saw, lakes and ponds also. "There is fire in the swamp", which refers to the phenomenon of oil vapor catching fire on the surface of lakes and ponds.

In tracing back to the use and origin, it can be traced back to the Western Han Dynasty and the Western Jin Dynasty. According to the Eastern Han Dynasty writer and historian Ban Gu (32-92 AD), the book of the Former Han Dynasty, Volume 38, Geography 8, "Dingyang, Gao Nu, there is confusion in water, and fat can be dipped in." Gaonu County refers to the area of Yan'an, Shaanxi Province, and is a tributary of the Yan River.

Although An Lan recited this historical document would never have known if he were not a person who liked ancient geographical books, Shi Tao had heard of it, and he was originally studying oil and gas field development in college, and the book would naturally introduce some of the places where oil was found and used in the classics of the ancients.

Although Lin Youde has not read this kind of book, but he still has an understanding of oil exploitation, the original method of oil exploitation is to drill wells, similar to the way of drilling wells in rural areas, in saying that oil refining is simply to heat and fractionate the extracted crude oil, and take out heavier kerosene, that is, lamp oil, lighter gasoline, which was one of the most dangerous industries at that time.

We don't need to refine to how pure, as long as the kerosene comes out first, how can the kerosene lamp be exported without such a good thing, now the mirror has become a pillar industry in Australia, and the market saturation will be accelerated when a mirror factory comes out, only this kerosene lamp is the most suitable, and it is a necessary product for boating and walking.

Listening to An Xiaopang, who is usually only interested in maps and ores, suddenly said such a commercially valuable analysis, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they felt that something was wrong, when did the geographical madness also put it in the eyes of money!

But then everyone looked at the few people present, not to mention, yo want to make this oil exploitation is really inseparable from any of them, Lin Youde and Shi Tao have experience in technology, Zhao Shijie is influential in the executive committee, Ren Changle has his own infrastructure team, plus Anlan's own oil well location, these people together can really get things done.

"I said brothers, this oil is not the lifeblood of the country!" Ren Changle, who had not spoken, suddenly asked the doubts in his heart.

"No, oil is not uranium, and it is said that it has not yet reached the era of large-scale use of internal combustion engines, and it cannot become a lifeblood industry, so there should be no problem for the Executive Committee to pass it." Lin Youde, who is in charge of technology, analyzed.

"That's it, I look at the shares, let's calculate the proportion according to their respective inputs, let's take the name first, I think of a good name when I think of it, how about you look at the name of Shell Oil."

Ren Changle said with a calm look, almost didn't let Shi Tao, who was drinking tea, spray his face with a sip of tea, if the Dutch knew that the name of the company they were proud of was stolen by this guy, they would do and think, but looking at the expressions of everyone present, they were silent, and they agreed to the name.
