Born Tech Mad

Chapter [158] Invitation from the Ministry of Energy

Ross originally only wanted to inquire from the person in charge of CNPC to see their interest in bio-oil.

Unexpectedly, when the other party heard that there was oil at half the price, he immediately chased Ross like a cat smelling fish or apes, and kept asking about the oil.

Ross was really annoyed by the question, so he had no choice but to speak: "Have you heard of the 'photogenerated hydrocarbon bio-oil' technology that the United States is researching?"

Excited, violently excited, the oil tycoon immediately thought clearly: "Major General Luo is so great, has he come up with this advanced technology to replace oil energy?"

"Chairman Li is very smart! I immediately thought of it. To tell you the truth, I have researched this technology. If I want to produce that kind of bio-oil, I should be able to do it with some time. That's why I'm asking you, what is this?" Cheap oil, are you willing to buy it from PetroChina?”

Chairman Fatty became even more excited: "Yes, how much, how much. Major General Luo, I read that paper, which seems to say that the cost of bio-oil produced is only one-tenth of the current oil! You How can you sell it to us at half the current price of oil!"

Ross was upset: "Don't be so greedy, you oil crocodiles, you really want to suck the blood of the people of the whole country! If I develop this technology, I will definitely ask farmers to help me plant a lot of plants. At that time, I will let the whole country The income of all farmers has increased. Give the farmers 20% of the benefits, and our Yuta Company 20% of the profits. After you use them for production and refining, you can sell oil at the current oil price of 60%, and you can also earn 10% of the profits. How about ?”

"This... we have to refine oil, and after deducting the cost, there is only 10% profit, isn't it a bit small?"

Ross was angry: "You don't need to spend the cost of transporting oil, which is much cheaper than pulling oil from abroad. It's too little! If it's too little, I'll find Sinopec. In the future, I will come up with this technology, a drop of bio-oil. Not sold to you."

Ross's anger made the CNPC tycoon sweat on his forehead, and he apologized anxiously: "Major General Luo, please forgive me, not a lot. Really a lot. We are willing to cooperate with Yuta Company. Once your technology is mature, you can produce How much bio-crude oil is there, how much we want from PetroChina. This is a good business that benefits the country and the people. We are willing to cooperate with Yuta Company."

Ross snorted: "Let's talk about it in the future. After I figure out this technology and produce bio-oil, I will talk about it in detail."

After Ross finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the helicopter near the pier.

That Li Can was in a hurry, and quickly called the Ministry of Energy to report the news that Ross was going to engage in bio-oil.

Ross had only walked more than a hundred meters, and a call from the capital made Ross very curious.

After connecting the phone, a friendly voice came from the other end: "Major General Luo, I'm glad you can answer the phone. I'm Xiao Qiang, Minister of the Ministry of Energy. I heard that you are going to engage in bio-oil. We are so excited, can you trouble me?" You come to the capital, let’s discuss the details.”

Ross understood that it must be Li Can who tipped the news, and he was a little dumbfounded at the moment: "Minister Xiao! I really want to develop this bio-energy, but there are still many technical problems. There is no way to produce it for the time being!"

On the other end of the phone, Minister Xiao became anxious: "We absolutely believe in Major General Luo's talent. What you say you want to do will definitely be done. We can discuss it first. After the bio-oil is produced, we will cooperate directly to reduce It's too much trouble to negotiate!"

Ross hesitated. At present, all kinds of plans need money to develop, and the more advanced the technology is, the more capital is needed.

This bio-oil can indeed make a lot of money, and as long as crude oil is produced, refined into oil and sold, you don't have to worry about it yourself, and you can just hand it over to Sinopec and PetroChina for sales. Borrow the sales channels of these two giants. It is a good choice to be able to make a profit quickly.

Ross agreed immediately: "Okay, I'll come to the capital later."

"Well, we are waiting for Major General Luo's visit, goodbye."

The Minister of Energy hung up the phone happily.

Ross sighed: "Sure enough, it's 'the prosperity of the world is for profit, and the chaos of the world is for profit'! The boss of the Ministry of Energy immediately called when he heard that there was money to be made. The world is all about money. world!"

Ross climbed into the helicopter helplessly and ordered the pilot to fly to the capital.

The distance between Beijing and Tianjing is only a few hundred kilometers, and the helicopter flew to the capital in less than an hour.

The plane landed directly at the National Rights Center, and a group of bigwigs from various departments had been waiting for Ross.

Minister Xiao of the Ministry of Petroleum was the first to shake hands with Ross: "Major General Luo, please talk to us about energy first."

The hospitality was hard to come by, Ross nodded helplessly, and followed Minister Xiao and others into the conference room.

In front of the oval-shaped office table inside, groups of leaders from the petroleum and energy sectors have already gathered, and there is a sign in front of each person with their names written on it.

Seeing Ross coming, the crowd stood up and applauded automatically to welcome Ross.

After Minister Xiao asked Ross to sit down, he said directly: "Major General Luo, you know that our country depends on oil. The country consumes about 500 million tons of oil a year, of which imported oil accounts for 56%. my country's oil reserves are only 6 billion tons, which is only enough to be exploited for 20 years at the current rate. The United States consumes 1.1 billion tons of oil a year. If my country's per capita oil consumption is the same as that of the United States, the world's oil will not be enough to supply my country and the United States. The United States. The stability of energy is not only an issue of money, but also an issue of national security.”

Another vice minister of the Ministry of Energy also sighed: "Minister Xiao is right. If the energy problem is not solved, it will be difficult for our country to catch up with the United States. It will be even more difficult for Chinese people to live a better quality of life than Americans. ascend to heaven."

Ross folded his arms and sneered: "If everyone is really worried about national energy, we can put our arc reactor of Yuta Company on the market! Once electric vehicles are launched, won't the consumption of oil be reduced?"

"Major General Luo! PetroChina and Sinopec have to support a lot of people, and many chemical industries are related to oil. If your cars all use electric energy, then millions of people will be laid off! Let's talk about your bio-oil. Listen It is said that there will not be much oil and crude oil of this kind of 'photogenerated hydrocarbon', and the price is cheap."

Ross frowned: "Talking about technology with you, you don't understand. I just tell you that I can make this technology. But not now, because my 'light source conversion' technology has not been fully promoted to rural areas. Bio-oil Technology is difficult to develop. Because I need that kind of light source conversion technology to make plants grow quickly, and then let thousands of farmers help me plant and harvest green plants, and finally use biotechnology to ferment and replace plants to evolve into oil. process, it’s a massive project.”

The bosses were excited: "Major General Luo, when will you start working on this technology, and what do you need, we will cooperate with you. As long as you can produce this cheap bio-oil, everything is easy to talk about."

Ross shook his head: "Everyone, I don't need anything. As long as PetroChina and Sinopec don't block my way. After producing this kind of oil, I will sell it to you, and you will sell it to the whole country, and everyone will make money together."

As soon as Ross said this, Minister Xiao became happy: "Once bio-oil is produced, our country will solve the problem of energy security. Not only that, cheap oil prices can greatly reduce our country's prices and drive the economy to continue to grow at a high speed. The annual growth rate of the economy will likely exceed 15%.

Other people from the Ministry of Petroleum were also happy: "Once the price of oil drops, more people will buy cars, and the total amount of oil consumed will explode. In the end, everyone will make money."

Ross was speechless, and wanted to remind them that if the oil consumption increased greatly, China's air pollution problem might never be solved.

Electric energy is the cleanest and most environmentally friendly energy source. Unfortunately, in order to avoid millions of jobs, Huaxia can only rely on bio-oil. (~^~)
