Milgram, a social psychologist at Harvard University in the United States, has an experiment that confirms that any two people on a shijie, whether they are a Chinese tricycle driver, a vegetable vendor, an African refugee, a high-ranking American politician, a Hollywood star, or even an Arctic Eskimo, or an American native Indian, can establish a relationship through acquaintances to acquaintances, and the average minimum number of "intermediaries" between the two is 6. This means that to find someone on Shijie, you probably only need to pass through six people.

Sun Defa did not know this theorem. He wanted to find a boss who was engaged in oil extraction in the Changqing area of Shaanxi Province, and only found it through three friends.

When Li Ziqiang "shamelessly" handed over the oil exploitation project to him, he vaguely remembered that someone at a certain party had mentioned that there was a private contract for oil fields in Changqing, Shaanxi. But I can't remember who it is. When he searched for a friend and found a second friend, the man thought for a long time, and suddenly said, wasn't it the Zhang doll who played with cultural relics at that party, saying that his cousin had an oil field in Shaanxi!

Zhang Gongdoll is a nickname, the big name Zhang Qingshan. This nickname is to say that he is a person who looks like a doll and is very cartoonish, always smiling and grinning. But Sun Defa was not familiar with him.

Sun Defa found him and sold him the porcelain, old mahogany furniture and other collectibles he had bought before at a "cheap" price of three times the original purchase price, so happy that he couldn't even see. He's still making a lot of money.

Zhang Qingshan happily helped him contact his cousin Boss Shi in Changqing, Shaanxi, and the Boss Shi warmly welcomed Sun Defa to him on the phone.

Sun Defa decided to go for himself. Oil extraction is definitely the key jishu. I don't feel at ease if I don't go in person.

He has signed an employment contract with Wang Qiang, appointing Wang Qiang as the general manager of the Philippine Warwick Chemical Company, and at the same time, accompanied by Wang Qiang, he has successively signed several other people with practical work experience. Then he handed them the three acids and two alkalis.

"If you don't have enough people, you can recruit, and I haven't withdrawn from the online recruitment."

"Understood, I know your requirements, zuihou you decide personally."

In the last interview, the two of them had a very speculative conversation. Unconsciously, Wang Qiang told Sun Defa about his experience from 20 years ago to the present.

Sun Defa listened with a smile, and induced him to continue to talk from time to time, what was the contradiction with a certain leader in the technical transformation when the Guangzhou sulfuric acid factory switched to the production of compound fertilizer, what his wife had a bad temper and the two divorced and did not meet, what son before marriage He gave his savings to his son to buy a house and paid a down payment without thinking, even when he was a child, Wang Qiang handmade ore radios won awards and he often repaired motorcycles for colleagues, Sun Defa listened with relish. The two also recalled together whether a pair of headphones were sold for one yuan or five yuan in thrift stores at that time, and the interview scene was full of nostalgia.

The two happily signed the employment contract. Of course, Wang Qiang also understood that the company belongs to a powerful mining group and has quite a background. Sun De paid him a monthly salary that satisfied him, 30,000 yuan a month plus the company's profit dividend at the end of the year. However, Wang Qiang has no illusions about the latter. Wang Qiang thought that this unique interview was just a special case for himself, but when he accompanied Sun Defa to interview others, he found that it was also the same tune.

Wang Qiang quickly understood Boss Sun's hiring tendencies. Life is a little harder, you will have a little more jishu, and you don't want to go home if you are away for a long time. Those who feel good about themselves.,Even if it's jishu no matter how good it is.。

Before leaving, Sun Defa told again: "When you and they design the process, don't forget that we only have a load limit of 1,000 tons. The place was not replenished by any modernity except for resources. Don't factor in labor costs anymore. There will be thousands of people who will come to work. ”

"I know that I still have to design a few more schemes, and it really doesn't work to go to the soil law."

When Sun Defa gave him a detailed description of the natural conditions in a certain area of Mindanao in the Philippines, he also checked it on the Internet, and it was really similar. He wanted to ask Weishenme if he only transported it once, but then he thought that it might be because the mining group was trying to save money. He'd seen too many factories come up with all sorts of unthinkable ways to save money.

Sun Defa first got on the plane to Xi'an, and then transferred to Yulin in Xi'an, and the journey was smooth. Boss Shi personally drove to the airport to meet him.

The two chatted enthusiastically in the car, like old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years. Boss Shi has recently encountered a shortage of funds, and turnover is a bit difficult. It just so happened that his cousin recommended him a financier, and he heard that he might be able to invest in him, which made Boss Shi feel like someone had a pillow when he was asleep. Coupled with his experience of mixing with society and getting acquainted with himself, soon the two of them had nothing to talk about. After arriving in Dingbian County, it was already dark, so he arranged Sun Defa in the most haode hotel in Dingbian County, and made an appointment to go to the well together.

The next day, Boss Shi came to pick him up early, and the two of them drove towards the oil well. Boss Shi truthfully introduced his line of affairs to him.

In the mid-80s, the contradiction between the Changqing Oilfield and the local government became increasingly prominent, and in order to support the economic development of the old revolutionary base area in northern Shaanxi, the then Ministry of Petroleum Industry made an exception to allow the Yanchang Oil and Mine Administration Bureau to concentrate on the development of high-yield blocks, while contracting some old and low-yield wells in remote areas to counties and districts for operation, so as to benefit the local area.

Due to the limited financial resources of the local governments in northern Shaanxi and the fact that they have wells in their hands, but they are unable to develop them, they have introduced foreign funds one after another to exploit oil in the name of joint ventures. However, after such a development model was exposed by CCTV's "Focus Interview" in 2002, the private capital oil wells were repossessed by the local government in 2003.

"I heard that at that time, it was really an opportunity to make a fortune, and the contract fee was not expensive at all, as long as you increased production, you could make money. It's a pity that I didn't catch that opportunity, but I didn't have the money at that time. ”

"It's not small to be able to poke this matter into "Focus Interview", Shili."

"Yes, I heard that it was the gods who fought, and the little ghosts suffered. Later, others showed me the way, and I set my sights on the abandoned well in the Changqing Oilfield—"

The Changqing Petroleum System internally calls some oil wells that have been exploited for a long time, have low oil production and little production value as "low-grade" oil wells. For example, if the oil-water mixture pumped out of some oil wells exceeds 90%, the well will be sealed and injected into the cement plug.

"These wells don't have much exploitation value in the hands of Changqing Oilfield, but in my hands, with the help of workover, re-drilling, etc., this abandoned well has a certain production capacity. What about weishenme? The wages of my workers are low, the operating costs are low, and I dare not waste them easily. When I first started doing this, I was involved myself. This underground oil reservoir generally has more than 10 layers, if you continue to drill wells, find other oil layers, get unexpected surprises, oil production even more than 10 tons, daily income of about 30,000 yuan. ”

"I've heard that the oil resources here are at the mercy of broken glass, piece by piece. So how big do you invest? ”

"The costs of investing in an oil well include contracting fees, equipment costs, operation costs, public relations processing fees, and so on. It takes more than 20 yuan to buy a set of old oil production equipment, and if you use new oil production equipment, the investment capital is almost more than 500,000 yuan. Equipment costs account for only a fraction of the cost, and more needs to be invested in public relations costs. You know, first of all, we must pay 300,000 yuan to the leaders of the oil production plant, 100,000 yuan to the leaders of the operation area, and 100,000 yuan to the oil district security team, the oil inspection brigade, and the local government. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to contract wells at all, and even if I did, the oil wouldn't be able to get out. If you don't have a dispatch ticket, you can kill me. ”

"Looks like a good return."

"It also depends on luck, a new well costs more than a million yuan. But if a new well fails to find an oil layer, almost all the investment is wasted. It's a gamble. I managed to get another low-grade well in March, but nothing was drilled, and the fee for them was still the same, unless you ran away and didn't pay, but I still have three wells here -- all the money on hand is gone. ”

After Sun Defa heard this, he smiled slightly and did not answer immediately.

"Hey, we're here!" Boss Shi parked the car at the door of a dirt yard.

Sun Defa saw that this earthen courtyard was enclosed by an earthen wall, the courtyard wall was not high enough, and a kowtow machine (beam pumping unit) exposed most of its body, swinging up and down, and there were vague words of PetroChina on it. Walking in, a strong smell of oil greeted you. Several large puddles were dug in the courtyard, and inside were filthy black water, on which thick oil splashes floated. Not far away, there are three or two rusty oil storage tanks and several earthen kilns.

Between the kowtow machine and the oil storage tank is a rubber pipe with a diameter of about seven or eight centimeters. The crude oil pumped out of the ground by the kowtower flows into the oil storage tank through a rubber pipe, and the wellhead is surrounded by dripping oil. A few workers in shabby overalls were fiddling with the seals.

"The role of the puddle is to collect the water that is pressed out of the bottom of the oil." Boss Shi pointed to the puddle and said to Sun Defa, "Most of the crude oil is too watery, and the water and oil are mixed, so the water needs to be removed." Since the density of water is higher than that of crude oil, the oil floats above the surface of the water. The kiln mainly produces steam, and the pressure generated by the steam will press the water in the oil storage tank from the bottom layer until some crude oil flows out of the bottom of the tank, the water is discharged, the valve is closed, and the purification process is completed. ”

Boss Shi saw Sun Defa frowning and looked around, knowing that he might dislike the simplicity here. whispered: "Don't look at it as inconspicuous, it produces more than two tons a day and a night, and it is pure to earn this number." He made a figure-eight gesture at Sun Defa.

"This well was newly drilled next to an abandoned well after I got a logging plan from a logging company at a high price. There is an abandoned well just outside the earthen wall. ”

"Don't you need any jishu?"

"What jishu, a few farmers in this village did it for me, drilling holes, putting down casings, installing oil pumps or something, at most adding a pressurized pump or pumping water vapor to top the oil outside. They're all on the verge of becoming professionals now, but they don't earn as much as the workers on the oil fields. ”

"Aren't you afraid of a blowout? And what about the associated gas? ”

"Blowout? I've dreamed of it! If I could spray it, I would have it - buy a proper oil tree and install it, and that would be a day and night! When the natural gas was first extracted, it was a little bit, and after a while, it was gone, but it had a pungent smell and the smell of rotten eggs, which contained hydrogen sulfide. If you have more and make a fortune, buy a wellhead closure that is correct and install a Christmas tree, that is, spray money, at most add a dehydration or desulfurization equipment. There is a family doing this next to it, and I heard that the background is very deep, and there are shares of leaders. After seeing the other two wells, I'll take you to see it, the boss is familiar with me. ”

"Strange Tales of the Beard"

Taiwanese, the ancient Liu. In recent years, there have been some rumors that people from Antarctica haunt here. I visited overseas businessmen for the rest of my life, worked hard and concentrated on tidying up, and it was a success for several years. Many rumors are absurd and unverified. Bojun just smiled. Shunzhi was born in Gyeonggi in the ninth year.

Rice transplanter

He is good at strange and obscene skills, and can control all kinds of utensils, which is puzzling. One of them is called a rice transplanter. The people love rice, but they can't bear the pain of rice planting, so they use this opportunity. This machine is filled with oil, and you can walk freely. One sits on it and controls it. It can be left and right, like an arm to make a finger, running like flying. After that, its own seedlings are planted in the paddy field, and if there is divine help, it can be counted as many as 100,000 lines a day.

Yu Wen sighed and said: Yu is from the south, how can you not know the pain of rice planting? If the people understand etiquette and religion, tomorrow's reason, respect my Qing Dynasty, and offer this opportunity, the official of taste, at your fingertips.

Some people also say that the waist and legs of the bearded people are different from ordinary people, and their legs cannot be bent, so there is no kneeling ceremony, or they are forced to make this machine out of desperation? Not obtainable.

In addition, its oil is unusual, called diesel, some people say that this oil is pressed for firewood, and some people say that it is taken from the ground. Is it strange to be related to?
