After listening to Qian Tiandun's explanation, Gu Kai's expression on his face did not change, and he nodded and said, "Heitu Port will definitely gradually become economically independent in the future, but this process will probably take longer than you expect." (Baidu search update is the fastest and most stable) You may not know very well, in fact, the executive committee has calculated the investment in the black soil port according to the loan method for this black soil port colonization action. And the way to repay the loan in Heitu Port is very clear and simple, that is, the coal that is continuously sent back to Shengli Port. ”

"There are two ways for Heitu Port to generate revenue, one is to repay the investment loan of the Executive Committee and then use coal transportation to make profits. According to the decision of the Executive Committee, the Yiqiē mine will henceforth be owned by the state, and the coal developed here will only be supplied to the base camp at a very low price, and there will be no profit at all. The other way is to increase production capacity and capacity, and sell the coal here to other places, such as the Vietnamese in the west. ”

"All of these views you said are at the policy level, but in fact, from a technical point of view, there are actually a lot of things that can be produced in the Black Earth Port...... At least in the future, there will be a lot. Tian Yeyou disagreed with Gu Kai's statement: "If we want to develop this place, we can only rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and rely on the water, and there are billions of tons of coal buried under our feet, so we have to find a way to make full use of this resource." ”

Gu Kai was also interested when he heard this, and he was not unhappy with Tian Yeyou's rebuttal, but encouraged him: "Then from a technical point of view, how should the industrial structure of Heitu Port be developed in the future?"

Tian Yeyou said: "First of all, I would like to ask, what is the amount of investment by the Executive Committee in Heitu Port, and what is the purchase price of coal supplied to the base camp?"

Regarding these two questions, everyone here will undoubtedly be very concerned, and Gu Kai answered very frankly: "Let me first explain the calculation principle of investment. The cost of manpower input is only calculated by the Executive Committee according to the prevailing wage, which is not high, and the bulk is still in materials. There are some materials that are difficult to measure in terms of price at present, such as cement, gunpowder, etc. In the end, after various considerations, the investment calculated by the Executive Committee was about 50,000 yuan. ”

Hearing this figure, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, for an energy base, the upfront investment of tens of thousands of yuan is really not much.

Gu Kai continued: "As for the purchase price of coal, the Executive Committee also fully considered the current price of coal in the market, and finally set the price of ...... Two dollars per ton. Of course, this price is not dead, and it will be adjusted according to the actual supply and demand situation in the future. If there are no other questions, then please continue with the topic you just left. ”

The purchase price of the Executive Committee is actually much lower than the market price, and the current price at which the group buys coal from Yazhou is two cents of silver per 100 catties, which translates to almost four taels of silver per ton, that is, four yuan. Considering that there will be some costs incurred by sea transportation, the Executive Committee had to further reduce the purchase price of production on the side of Heitu Port. However, considering that the Executive Committee's investment in the Black Earth Port is in the form of interest-free loans, it is reasonable that the price is slightly lower.

Tian Yeyou has obviously thought deeply about this issue for a period of time since he came here for a period of time, and immediately explained: "The place of Heitu Port itself does not have the conditions of a natural harbor, and it is not close to any prosperous area in terms of topography, so it is unlikely to rely on sea trade for development. But we have enough coal here to dig for hundreds of years, and that's an inexhaustible wealth for us!"

"Although from the current point of view, the demand for coal in the base camp is not very large, and it is less than 10,000 tons in a year. But in the long run, it is difficult for us to greatly improve the level of energy development and utilization for a long time, hydropower will be the main source of electricity, and the power will basically rely on coal. According to the purchase price of the Executive Committee, our monthly coal income is only about 1,000 yuan, and it will indeed take a long time to repay the investment loan of the Executive Committee. But I think that at most next year, there will be a blowout of coal demand in the base camp, and I am afraid that it will not be able to hold a few hundred tons a month. 50,000 yuan is not much, it is only 25,000 tons of coal, if it is placed in the future, the annual output of less than 40,000 tons of small coal kilns are the object of shutdown, we do not have enough output at all. If we can produce as much as a small coal kiln, the time to repay the investment loan will be greatly reduced. ”

"I think you're probably overlooking the fact that we can expand our capacity indefinitely, but how much we can ship back is still limited by our sea capacity. Xie Chun from the Ministry of Shipping interjected when he heard this.

Tian Yeyou nodded and said: "What you said is indeed right, even if we can produce 100,000 tons per year, if we can't transport them all back, it will be in vain." Therefore, we must relax our thinking a little, since the capacity is limited, then we should find a way to make full use of these capacity and deliver more products with higher added value to the base camp. ”

The eyes of everyone present lit up, and they seemed to have a premonition of what Tian Yeyou wanted to say.

"Since we are a coal producing area here, we should fully develop the supporting industries of coal. In layman's terms, it is coal chemical industry!" Although Tian Yeyou is not a chemical professional, he has been in contact with a lot of coal supporting industries in his work, and he also has a certain understanding of this industry: "Among the several mining sites we have found so far, one of them is to produce high-quality coking coal, and we can coke locally and let the ship pull back the coke with higher value, so that the expansion of our production capacity is not so easy to be wasted." ”

"And don't forget that there will be a very important by-product in the coking process, that is, coal tar ......" Tian Yeyou suddenly got stuck when he said this, scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Chemical industry is not my major after all, please Qiao Zhiya help me supplement the rest!"

Qiao Zhiya stood up, nodded to Tian Yeyou, and continued: "The composition of coal tar is very complex, and it has a very wide range of applications in the chemical industry, which contains various aromatic hydrocarbons, oxygen-containing compounds, heterocyclic compounds and a variety of organic compounds......"

Gu Kai frowned and interrupted him: "You can't change this problem, this is not your real room, say something we can understand!"

Qiao Zhiya shrugged his shoulders and apologized, and changed his words: "Well, to put it simply, coal tar can be used in the production of plastics, synthetic fibers, dyes, rubber, pharmaceuticals and high-temperature resistant materials and many other projects. Of course, most of these things are not immediately produced in an industrial way, but we can make small quantities through some means of the guò real yàn room. ”

"Then what is there that can be put into production?" Gu Kai asked.

"Everyone must know about this thing. Qiao Zhiya looked around at everyone, and only after selling enough guanzi did he continue: "Asphalt." I would like to remind you that asphalt is not only paving roads, but also an excellent waterproof, moisture-proof and anti-corrosion coating, for the executive committee is now advocating the policy of 'big work and fast start' for infrastructure projects, I think in the next many years, the output of asphalt will be in short supply. ”

"Is this thing produced in high quantities?" Qian Tiandun also interjected with interest.

"According to the quality of the coking coal we found here, 100 tons of coking coal can produce three or four tons of coal tar, of which about two tons of asphalt can be refined. Qiao Zhiya replied.

Seeing the look on Qian Tiandun's face a little disappreliant, Qiao Zhiya added: "Don't think that there is less, things are valuable because they are less." You might as well think about it, what should be the price of this product compared to two yuan a ton of coal?"

Now Qian Tiandun came back to his senses: "The output is fifty times worse, and I wonder how the price has to be fifty times worse, right?"

"Fifty times? This thing costs at least two hundred yuan a ton!" Qiao Zhiya also changed to a disapproving expression at this time and said: "Do you think that the cost of various materials in the labor and processing process does not need to be counted? Moreover, this thing will be in a priceless process for a long time, even if the Black Earth Port is fully operational, it will not produce dozens of tons in a month, and it will not be able to meet the demand of the base camp at all......

Is a few tens of tons less? That's a few thousand yuan! And the supply exceeds demand! Everyone here seems to have seen a bright future prospect.

“...... After the output is obtained, Heitu Port can customize more chemical equipment to the base camp, and engage in deep processing of coal tar here. After Qiao Zhiya spoke at length for a while, he finally stopped because of his dry mouth.

"It looks like this place can still make some achievements. Gu Kai thought.

"A thousand miners is definitely not enough, at least two thousand must be organized...... No, the more the merrier!" Zhou Hengxing thought.

"It's a lot more efficient to transport this stuff than to transport coal...... But the asphalt thing stinks, so we have to find a way to make a special sealed cabin on the ship......" Xie Chun thought.

"You have to charge it, I don't understand this aspect of coal chemical industry at all!" Tian Yeyou thought.

"Can you convince them to exchange asphalt for some weapons to the base camp in the future?" Qian Tiandun thought.

Early the next morning, the chiefs of several departments were like chickens, and early in the morning they urged the workers to start work as soon as possible. Gao Qiao Nan looked at Qian Tiandun, who had a stern face, and asked cautiously, "Second Lieutenant, did something happen again last night?"

Qian Tiandun stared at him and said, "I heard that you did a good job as a foreman in the labor camp?"

Takahashi Nan immediately straightened his chest and said, "That's all the chief's leadership!"

"Well, it's pretty professional. Qian Tiandun pointed to the logging site in front of him: "Then show your professionalism and keep an eye on the construction site for me, if the infrastructure project of Heitu Port can be completed ahead of schedule, the management committee will definitely ask for credit for the relevant personnel." ”

"Yes!" Takahashi Minami replied excitedly, and ran quickly to the construction site.
