Chapter 580: Internal Strife (3)
The cost price of oil extraction is very important. ãã
Also in the era of $100 oil prices, the cost of oil extraction in the BÅs Bay area is $5, while the cost of deep-sea oil extraction in Nigeria is $100, and the latter not only does not make any money compared to the former, but also has to subsidize the upfront investment of $1 billion, betting that the price of oil will continue to rise.
The cost of a self-spilling field is even lower than that of a well in BÅs Bay, and $2 or even $1 per barrel is possible. The only thing to worry about is the pressure of the tonnage of the channel. But these are problems that can be solved.
The 7.3 billion barrels of oil is enough for China to use for more than three years, which can be called a strategic-level weapon, and Committee member Zhou's heart was hot in an instant, and he said in a persuasive tone: "It is 540 kilometers away from the Xijiang city-state, and it is completely possible to build a special oil pipeline, and after one or two years of investment, it will not be a problem to produce 2 million barrels of crude oil per day, which is one-third of our imports." Moreover, to be able to break the OPEC monopoly! â
To some extent, the price of oil is caused by monopolies. If deep-sea oil extractors can tolerate a profit of less than 10 percent, there is no reason why the Middle East, which costs less than $20, should not accept 100 percent profit, or 50 percent, or 20 percent......
In the final analysis, it is because they can get 500% of the profit because of it.
Committee member Zhou is not thinking about making money -- 7.3 billion barrels of oil are worth $730 billion, and even with his guts, he does not dare to try to grab them. However, mastering funds means holding power, and he will definitely not let this income fall into Chen Yi's hands.
The other people looked at each other, and they all seemed to be inclined to the opinion of Committee member Zhou. Needless to say, the nearest ally, Tang Yuan, was still in a hostile position before.
Tang Yuan looked at him and shook his head slightly, saying that he was not optimistic about the statement of "returning the martial arts hall".
Chen Zhongguo smiled lightly and was speechless.
"Lao Chen, what is your opinion?" Committee member Zhou faced Chen Zhongguo and thought: You don't dare to say that hundreds of billions of oil are swallowed in your mouth.
Chen Zhongguo did not speak, but the corners of his lips curled, a typical signature action of "Lao Tzu doesn't want to pay attention to you".
Yuhara laughed out loud and lit a cigarette.
Committee member Zhou snorted in his heart and ended the meeting in a huff.
In the afternoon, he began instructing the leaders of the oil conglomerate to monitor Jiangning's facilities, in his words: "to ensure that every first drop of oil is under state control." â
100,000 tons of oil cannot be mined all at once, if 2 million barrels per day are produced -- that is, the daily output of a certain OPEC country will take 10 years to be emptied.
Committee member Zhou felt that he would only need half a month to block the oil from the West Continent from landing, and Chen Yi would naturally succumb to it.
Even if it fails, it can be seized from the top down.
There are so many resources at his disposal in his place.
However, Commissioner Zhou could not have imagined that this would be the last time he would use these resources.
At the same time that the gentlemen of the oil conglomerate were on their way to Jiangning, Siberia unloaded the first crude oil from the western continent.
The so-called self-spilling oil field is the oil field that can overflow on its own. To put it figuratively, dig a hole, spray out the oil, scoop it and sell it. At that time, the oil wells in Texas, the United States, were so blessed with fierce fire oil in the history of China, and it was also produced at the earliest.
The distance of 540 kilometers is really short, the western continent has its own weight of 30 tons, and the carrying capacity of more than one ton of animals to and fro, and the engineering team from Russia is also laying pipelines at the first time.
The oil conglomerates from the country were completely abandoned.
On the first day, 500 tons of oil were produced, and on the 10th day, the oil well production was at the level of 10,000 tons.
By the second month, Moscow had sent 50,000 people, 40,000 of whom worked in the mines, more than enough Russian technology for such a low-tech oil field. And Moscow is also happy to send workers, which is equivalent to a humanoid worker experiment. Chen Yi, on the other hand, pays the workers.
Accordingly, Chen Yi recruited 50,000 workers from China to Siberia, from where he connected existing oil pipelines and processed oil in heavy industrial areas near Novosibirsk.
The whole process completely bypassed the domestic. This was a surprise not only to Committee Member Zhou, but to all the entire committee.
But there is nothing they can do about it.
Even the previous layout, now starting to have problems.
Some of the materials that should have been in short supply in the Temple War slowly turned to oversupply, and the merchants of the Xijiang Society, who gradually adapted to the government's business, also dared to brush the tiger whiskers of state-owned enterprises.
Not to mention the direction of gold bonds, they are almost driving other currencies out of the Western Continent market - the indigenous people don't care about your national credit, they can't exchange it for precious metals, they can use it wherever they like, I can't do it here!
The loss of the indigenous market is the loss of half of the market.
Several departments in charge of this matter were busy, watching the economic index of the Xijiang Society rise, and it was not taxed.
This time, Commissioner Zhou did not wait for the change, he directly sent the tax officer, took Chen Yi's subway passage, went to the Xijiang city-state, and then wandered around the West Malaysia market.
In a world with an average temperature of 32 or more, there are only two kinds of people in full suits and ties, the tax collector and the salesman, and if there is a group of people walking together, it must be the former.
"Bosses, how's the business?" The tax collectors felt that they were friendly, their smiles were concerning, and they were seven or eight hundred layers better than they were back home.
The "bosses" who were playing mahjong didn't raise their heads, and said at a glance: "Asking the price?"
Which company is new here? â
"We are not the ...... of the company"
"I'm bored, it's been hot lately, and I've heard that the situation on the front line has improved... Don't ask the price if it's okay, afternoon time, rest time. â
"It's better than the previous business......" "I didn't make more money playing mahjong." 1 The little boss was giggling, and dozens of meters behind, the well-informed personnel of the archives management office recorded their conversation.
Before the gentlemen of the tax team could complete their preliminary inquiry, a "repatriation certificate" was issued to all 127 people.
This was the first repatriation permit issued by the Xijiang city-state, and the tax captain did not care about the identity of the working group, so he personally went to the administrative office and asked: "Why did you repatriate us?" â
"Illegal tax audit!" The fourth-class official replied in a righteous and stern manner: "This is the territory of Sir Chen Yi of the Water Dragon Temple, and anyone else who dares to check the tax will be punished with a penalty of more than 30 battles." â
"30 battles!"
"The repatriation permit is a repatriation permit, and the 30 battles will be defeated before you leave." The fourth-class officials are businesslike and quite serious.
