It is certainly not enough to rely on a single news story to bring down the price of crude oil.

In addition to this report, Xiaoyu also updated the calculation ratio on the official website about olefin-3 type replacing ordinary fuel oil, the blended olefin-3 type can perfectly replace gasoline and diesel in various types of machinery, and because olefin-3 type far exceeds the combustion calorific value of ordinary fossil energy, the same volume of olefin-3 type will have a more durable combustion efficiency than gasoline and diesel.

According to preliminary estimates, according to the current extraction efficiency of 300,000 barrels per day of Matrix Technology Co., Ltd., it can be basically converted into 2.1 million barrels of gasoline per day.

Less than three minutes after the official website of Matrix Technology Co., Ltd. announced the news, the official website of the Ministry of Energy of the People's Republic of China also released a more exciting news: the Ministry of Energy has decided to transfer 10% of crude oil from the national strategic reserve to convert the strategic reserve of crude oil into an olefin-3 type strategic reserve!

Three pieces of news, like three bombshells dropped on a calm lake!

ZG's strategic reserve crude oil reserves are an astronomical amount, even if only 10% is an extremely terrifying amount, and since the Ministry of Energy has made such a decision, it can only show one problem, that is, olefin-3 can perfectly replace the role of diesel and gasoline in social production, and olefin-3 has more strategic reserve value than crude oil.

And now these three news, without exception, all illustrate a problem: Matrix Technology Co., Ltd. has mastered the extraction technology of large-scale preparation of olefin-3 type.

This will have an unparalleled impact on the entire crude oil extraction industry.

Think about it, the original global daily consumption of crude oil is assumed to be 30 million barrels, these crude oil is mainly refined into diesel and gasoline for the world to use, now olefin-3 type perfectly replaces diesel and gasoline, and the calorific value of combustion is much higher than that of diesel gasoline, according to 1 barrel of olefin-3 type can produce 7 barrels of fossil energy calorific value, then the world will still need 30 million barrels of crude oil output per day?

On the other hand, the production of crude oil is not to say that the production can be reduced, the production of crude oil is based on the oil field, the crude oil production equipment involves the problem of increasing the pressure of the oil field, the technical content is very high, if the production is rashly reduced, it is likely to damage the pressure environment inside the oil field, and even lead to the internal pressure imbalance of the oil field into a waste field.

Wall Street, within the Strategic Investments Division of Goldman Sachs.

Charles was sitting in front of the computer excitedly writing a crude oil investment analysis report.

There is one day left before the crude oil market opens on Monday, and he needs to send the investment analysis report to the customer's mailbox one day in advance to provide data support for the investment customer's decision-making.

"Bob that guy is really a fool, I called him on Friday night, since Matrix Technology Co., Ltd. dares to directly hang all the technical solutions on the public official website, it means that they must have mastered the large-scale preparation of olefin-3 type extraction technology, as long as anyone with a little vision can see that once the olefin-3 type is listed on a large scale, the price of crude oil will definitely plummet."

Charles wrote the analysis report and smiled at Wales next to him.

Charles, Wales and Bob are all senior analysts in the strategic investment department of Goldman Sachs, Charles and Wales believe that once the olefin-3 type is listed on a large scale, it will definitely have an impact on the crude oil market, and Matrix Technology Co., Ltd. is such a high-profile form, and it is very likely that it will master the large-scale preparation of olefin-3 type extraction technology, so both of them have given investors advice to invest in crude oil bulls cautiously.

Bob believes that Matrix Technology Co., Ltd. has not yet mastered the technology of large-scale extraction of olefin-3, after all, he asked a friend who works in the oil and gas research institute that the technology of large-scale extraction of olefin-3 involves an extremely complex smelting process.

So Bob gave investors investment advice to enter the long crude oil market.

On Friday, crude oil rose sharply, with a cumulative increase of more than 10%, which made Bob very happy, not only earning a large investment commission, but also mocking Charles and Wales along the way.

On Friday night, he sent an email to all the investments in his hands, suggesting that he increase the investment position of long crude oil.

I guess Bob wants to die at this time.

The trend of crude oil is different from other commodities and currencies, the trend of crude oil basically belongs to a road to the black, as long as it falls, it can be all down in just a few days, and there is no other way except for forced stop loss.

Now it's just a matter of how much crude oil will fall at the start of trading on Monday.

In just one day, after the three reports came out, the investment analysts on Wall Street all changed their views on the trend of crude oil, and without exception issued investment advice to investors that crude oil was about to fall.

Wall Street investment analysts are extremely calm people, these people have an extraordinary tenacity and decisive decision-making ability, all personal emotions in front of capital do not matter, they only focus on the core of profit.

With Li Mingyu settling in the Global Center Building, although the rent of 20 million has not yet been paid, there is no problem in putting the equipment and facilities in advance, and the Cheung Chau City Government will not give this little convenience.

The manufacturer of olefin-3 production line equipment was sent over early in the morning of Sunday, and the owner of the manufacturer was a greasy middle-aged fat man.

At present, only two-thirds of the olefin-3 production line has been completed, but there is no problem with the large-scale production of olefin-3 type, and the remaining one-third of the production line equipment is used to prepare olefin-3 polymer materials, even if it does not have much impact on the entire production now, after all, Li Mingyu has not yet found a suitable buyer for olefin-3 polymer materials.

In just half a day's commissioning, all the production equipment was fully commissioned.

According to the terms negotiated between Li Mingyu and the Cheung Chau municipal government, Li Mingyu extracted olefin-3 for Cheung Chau City and charged a processing fee of US$20 per barrel, which was undoubtedly the best for Li Mingyu, who was short of funds at the beginning, and he did not even need to pay for the purchase of crude oil under this cooperation model.

The entire 2-7 floors of the Global Center Building were temporarily and simply closed by Li Mingyu, leaving only an intelligent robot to work inside, and the current smelting of olefin-3 type cannot be fully automated, and after a period of time, the intelligent robot will complete the modification of the production line equipment.

Soon the Changzhou City Oil and Gas Group Company shipped a truckload of crude oil, these are the international crude oil that was pulled from abroad to the Changzhou Port today, the Global Center Building is very close to the Changzhou Port, and it is a ten-minute drive by car, the Changzhou Municipal Government has passed the gas with the Oil and Gas Group, and all the crude oil arriving in the port is in accordance with the quantity of 300,000 barrels per day, giving priority to the supply of Matrix Technology Co., Ltd.

The Global Center Tower is located next to a bay, facing the sea on one side and the bustling downtown area on the other, there is a simple temporary wharf on the waterfront side, and there is an underground garage connecting to the Global Center on the connecting road, and the trucks drive into the underground garage of the Global Center Building from the road on the waterfront side, and then the whole car is loaded and unloaded by a crane into the standardized factory workshop on the first floor.

This is the strength of the standardized plant built by the government, whether it is the transportation of raw materials or the output of products, it is a standardized operation process, which greatly facilitates the production enterprises.

After the crude oil is transported to the standardized plant, the robotic arm is responsible for transporting all the crude oil to the production equipment, and the robotic arm in the standardized plant is controlled by primary artificial intelligence, and there is no need for additional operators to intervene.

With large-scale production equipment, the smelting of olefin-3 type is naturally not as informal as Li Mingyu's smelting of bottles and cans in the broken workshop, and the instruments of the entire standardized plant run automatically, and the container originally used to hold crude oil was re-cleaned by the robotic arm and labeled with Matrix Technology Co., Ltd., and then filled with newly extracted olefin-3 type.

The newly extracted olefin-3 type will be loaded and unloaded into the original carriage by the robotic arm, and then loaded and unloaded by the crane and sent back to the truck, Li Mingyu roughly calculated that each round of extraction of the production line takes four hours, and the full load operation can extract almost 6 rounds a day, according to the average production efficiency of 50,000 barrels per round, the daily output is just 300,000 barrels.

The production line that had just been installed and tested stopped after extracting 150,000 barrels of crude oil, and all the extracted olefin-3 was transported back to Cheung Chau Oil & Gas Group Co., Ltd. by truck.

Estimating that the olefin-3 type had been delivered to the oil and gas group company, Li Mingyu called a flash delivery on his mobile phone, and then sent the extraction contract to the Changzhou Oil and Gas Group according to the phone number and address given by the head of the Changzhou Energy Bureau.

It's not that he doesn't want to run in person, it's just that he is alone in the whole company now, next to the bustling neighborhood, in case he leaves, someone sneaks in and destroys the equipment, it will really be a complete calf.

"It seems that I have to recruit some people quickly, otherwise I will have to go downstairs to get a courier in the future..."Li Mingyu handed the contract to the little brother who sent it and muttered.

Cheung Chau Oil & Gas Group, in the group office.

A middle-aged man in a military uniform was sitting in the upper seat of the office listening to the report of the oil and gas group company.

"Commander Nie, just now Matrix Technology Co., Ltd. has shipped the first batch of olefin-3 type over, we immediately used military vehicles, tanks, and armored vehicles to conduct experiments, the results of the experiment are consistent with the results of our own olefin-3 type, this new type of energy can be perfectly adapted to military equipment, and the effect is better than our own olefin-3 type." The head of the oil and gas group pointed to the data on the screen in the conference room.

Commander Nie nodded silently, and after thinking for a moment, he asked, "Now can we reduce it according to the technical scheme they provide to achieve the effect of large-scale preparation of olefin-3 type?" ”

The person in charge of the oil and gas group shook his head regretfully and replied: "At present, it can't be done, although Mr. Li of Matrix Technology Co., Ltd. has provided us with a more detailed technical solution, but from the technical solution to equipment manufacturing and then to large-scale application, we do still have a long way to go." ”

After a pause, the person in charge of the oil and gas group continued: "Due to the leadership of the Cheung Chau Municipal Government and the Matrix Technology Co., Ltd. reached a processing agreement, the Matrix Technology Co., Ltd. provided us with a lot of additional technical information in return, and we are basically at the forefront of the international and domestic markets, but there is still a big gap between us and the Matrix Technology Co., Ltd., which is the first to master the extraction technology. ”

Commander Nie nodded when he heard this, and said with a smile: "I know, I saw this Li Mingyu in the conference room of the provincial government that day, he is indeed a young talent, and now the relationship between Matrix Technology Co., Ltd. and Changzhou City is not bad, and the products they provide also make the military leaders very satisfied, energy is an important strategic reserve resource for the army, Lao Xiang has already called me before, and in the future, the olefin-3 type supplied to you by Matrix Technology Co., Ltd. will be supplied to our theater of operations first, and then supplied to the society after meeting the needs of the army. Do you have any opinion on this? ”

The person in charge of the oil and gas group replied again and again: "Commander Nie, where is this, the priority to supply to the army is for the needs of national security, where will we have any opinions, just now Mr. Li has sent the contract, I have already read the content of the contract, it is indeed according to the previous agreement between him and the provincial government, only 20 US dollars per barrel of processing fees." ”

"Sent? This guy has a big heart, and he sent such an important contract to a courier hehe. ”

Commander Nie smiled and took out a contract from his arms and handed it to the person in charge of the oil and gas group: "Our military does not take advantage of your oil and gas group, so let's buy each barrel of olefin-3 type at a price of 700 yuan per barrel, and I have already brought the purchase contract, you can also stamp it by the way." ”

Hearing this, the person in charge of the oil and gas group couldn't help but be happy, thanked him again and again, turned his head and asked the group's finance to take the company's official seal.

You must know that although the current international oil price is about 60 US dollars, because the oil and gas group and the Middle East oil producing countries are signing long-term contracts, the actual purchase price is only more than 40 US dollars a barrel, even if the processing fee of 20 US dollars a barrel is added to Matrix Technology Co., Ltd., the actual cost of a barrel of olefin-3 type is about 60 US dollars, which is about 400 yuan a barrel when converted into RMB.

Commander Nie could not have failed to calculate this account, but he still offered a price of 700 yuan a barrel, which was slightly lower than the previous price of other oil and gas energy purchased by the military, but the profit represented was completely different.

Based on the production of 300,000 barrels per day, that would be a profit of nearly 90 million per day.

In addition to various transportation and labor costs, the annual income is 30 billion yuan, which is basically equivalent to more than half of the annual profits of the oil and gas group in the past.

Of course, these funds will not end up in the pockets of the oil and gas groups themselves, and these funds will eventually be transferred to the local financial department in the form of an annual budget, which will allocate it to various social infrastructure construction in the form of an annual budget.

But even so, even if not a cent of this money will fall into your pocket, these are all proper political achievements.

Sure enough, the military is not bad for money!

The person in charge of the oil and gas group was about to laugh badly, and without saying a word, he stamped the two contracts.

One was returned to Commander Nie, and the other was handed over to the group's financial director, who asked him to personally send it back to Li Mingyu.

As if thinking of something, the person in charge of the oil and gas group instructed the financial director: "Lao Zhang, today's 150,000 barrels of olefin-3 you give the account to Matrix Technology Co., Ltd. to settle the contract, the contract was signed today, the 150,000 barrels will not be suitable for settlement next month, you transfer the money to the company's account, by the way, how much should you pay today?" ”

Lao Zhang, the chief financial officer, thought for a moment and replied: "The contract stipulates that it is 20 US dollars a barrel, and 150,000 barrels is 3 million US dollars, more than 20 million yuan." ”

The person in charge of the oil and gas group twitched the corner of his mouth: "Damn, I will pay Li Mingyu's kid more than 40 million every day in the future?" When Lao Tzu opened a bank? Why didn't Lao Xiang negotiate with him yesterday? Still denominated in US dollars? Didn't you watch the news all this time? What a dog has the dollar risen! ”

Commander Nie got up and patted the person in charge of the oil and gas group on the shoulder, laughing and said, "According to your calculations, Lao Tzu is the last wronged leader, right?" In the future, Lao Tzu will give you more than 200 million every day. ”

The person in charge of the oil and gas group hurriedly got up and smiled, but both of them knew that although the amount of this contract looked amazing, if they were the commanders of any other theater today, they would rush over to sign this contract.

Even if the expenditure of 200 million yuan per day is 600 billion yuan a year, this is still insignificant for the energy procurement expenditure of the entire theater, but it can save the army hundreds of billions of other energy procurement expenditures.

At half past five on Monday morning, the alarm clock woke up Li Mingyu from his sleep on time.

At this time, he was sleeping alone on the luxury sofa on the 48th floor of the Global Center Building, and yesterday's 20 million yuan of the oil and gas group had been paid to the company's account, but this fund was still insignificant to Li Mingyu now.

When the previous production equipment was purchased, Li Mingyu only paid part of the payment, and the set of equipment cost nearly 100 million yuan, and he used most of the previous 40 million funds, but it was only equivalent to paying a deposit, and now the equipment has begun to be used, according to the contract, Li Mingyu must pay all the final payments within three days.

The company's account is now left with the 20 million paid by the oil and gas group yesterday, but there is still a big gap for the total accounts payable, although even if he can't pay off the balance in full within three days, he has other ways to work capital, after all, now that the production equipment has begun to run, give him a few months to raise the money in place, but Li Mingyu does not plan to do this.

There is only one year left for Li Mingyu, if he wants to accelerate the speed of the current rocket to the speed of the third alliance, Li Mingyu can't relax for a moment, and if he can get the money together as soon as possible, there are still too many things waiting for him to do.

At half past five in the morning, Cheung Chau City was still silent at this time, only a few sanitation workers could be seen on the street, from the 48th floor of the Global Center Tower, the spectacular scene of the sunrise over the sea was in front of you, and the 48-story Global Center Tower was only Li Mingyu.

"It's still a little cold," Li Mingyu muttered.

Raising his hand and waving, the projector in the luxury conference room immediately popped up the trend chart of WTI crude oil.

Crude oil opens at 6 a.m. on Mondays, and it is now five minutes away from the open.

Li Mingyu rubbed his head, which had not yet woken up, and took advantage of this free time to pour himself a cup of latte.

"The Changzhou Municipal Government is still generous, such a good building, the floor price of 20 million yuan was rented to me, and it is estimated that it is not so good for my son." After taking a slow sip of coffee, Li Mingyu sat on a chair in the huge office and sighed in a circle.

At six o'clock, WTI crude oil opened!

Gap low by 300 pips!

The account made a profit of 30 million! USD!

Even though he expected it, Li Mingyu's heart still contracted violently.
