Greece’s Roman Road

Chapter 152: oil cooperation

Hosting events such as the Olympics will help raise Greece's national profile.

Just like when you mention cowboys, you will think of the American West, and when you mention windmills, you will think of the Netherlands.

They are the business cards of the country.

And this kind of reputation can easily be turned into practical benefits.

The first modern Olympic Games, which lasted ten days, came to an end in Greece.

The United States won a total of 11 gold medals, 7 silver medals and 2 bronze medals; the host Greece took the second place with 10, 17 and 19 gold medals, followed by 17 and 19 bronze medals. Germany ranked third with 6.5 gold medals, 5 silver medals and 2 bronze medals. pieces

There is no doubt that the Games were so successful that King George privately approached Coubertin and asked him if he could keep the Olympic Games in Greece?

........

Greece in September, bright sunshine, blue Aegean Sea, low buildings made of gray rocks, sparse, lush olive groves on the hillsides, branches covered with thumb-sized oval olives.

The plain under the hillside is covered with rows of emerald green grape trellises, and the breeze blows, setting off bursts of green ripples.

I took a breath of the air mixed with the fragrance of grass and trees, and I just felt refreshed.

On the Peloponnese Peninsula, the beautiful scenery of the Coastal Estate of Costebro has amazed the guests including Constantine.

A group of ten people sat under the umbrellas in the olive grove in the middle of the mountainside, enjoying the beautiful scenery with Greek style.

"Seeing such a pleasant scenery, my old man seems to have become young," Nobel, who held the battle of civilization in his hand, sighed.

After the Greek government carried out large-scale administrative reforms, the Greek economy has undergone tremendous changes. Costerbloom invited everyone to come to the family manor and hold a gathering of business people.

"Mr. Nobel, what are your thoughts on the Zipao Foundation, cooperating with your Nobel family, establishing an oil company, and cooperating in the development of Albania's oil fields?" After taking a sip of wine, Jun Shi raised his goblet. Tantin said to little Nobel.

Ever since the exploration of oil fields in Ferry, Albania, Constantine, through Nobel, greeted the Nobel family, who runs the oil business in Baku, and worked together to develop oil fields in Albania.

And the little Nobel in front of him is Nobel's nephew and the youngest son of Nobel's second brother.

After receiving the invitation of Constantine, he came to Greece from the Caucasus of Russia.

The reason why he wanted to cooperate with the Nobel family was that Constantine also saw that the Nobel family had accumulated profound knowledge in the oil field and had superb skills.

With the addition of such powerful factions, Albania's oil fields can make profits faster.

Whether it is oil extraction technology or oil refining technology, without a certain technical accumulation, it is impossible to play.

Especially heavy oil fields such as Albania Oilfield are not only more difficult to exploit, but also technically difficult to refine due to their high sulfur content.

In the case of a weak technical foundation, only the Greeks themselves toss, who knows when Albania's petroleum products will enter the market.

After learning that their own exploration team had produced oil in Albania, the Nobel family also paid attention to the situation in the oil field.

The heavy oil oil field with an annual output of 80,000 tons is not high, but fortunately, it will improve with the improvement of oil extraction technology every year. After consulting the opinions of oil exploration experts in the family, although the profit is not large, it is due to risk diversification. From the perspective of financial management, the Nobel family still sent Little Nobel to come to Greece to discuss cooperation matters.

The Zipao Foundation invested 10 million drachmas, accounting for 60% of the shares, and the Royal Education Foundation invested 3 million, accounting for 20% of the shares. The Nobel family invested in technology, including oil exploration and refining technology, without the principal , accounting for 20% of the shares, and the tripartite cooperation to develop the oil field in Ferry City.

"His Royal Highness, our Nobel family is happy to cooperate with you," Little Nobel complimented.

"However, I would like to know how big the domestic oil demand is in Greece? As far as I know, Greece currently has a population of only more than two million, and electricity has been promoted on a large scale, and the market for kerosene lighting has also been affected."

"If you export it, you won't be able to sell a good price for that kind of heavy oil."

"Whether it is American oil or oil from Baku in the Caucasus, both are more competitive in the international market."

As a businessman, analyzing the market is an instinct.

After some thought, Constantine replied, "You don't have to worry about the market."

"As we all know, there are no hard coal mines in Greece, and all thermal coal needs to be imported."

"In order to save foreign exchange, Greece will promote the use of kerosene co-firing boilers on ships," Constantine said.

"In addition, Greece will promote motorcycles, military and civilians in the country, as a means of transportation."

Although it is impossible for motorcycles to completely replace the role of horses in the military, in some less demanding positions, such as messengers, motorcycles can be used as means of transportation.

Compared with the consumption of horses, motorcycles are more economical.

As for the folks, Constantine also paid attention and promoted two-wheeled and even three-wheeled motorcycles.

The technical requirements of motorcycles are relatively simple, and they are more suitable for the current industrial base of Greece.

"In addition, due to the large number of mountains in Greece, there are quite a few remote places, and the cost is really not suitable for connecting wires. For the time being, we can only rely on traditional kerosene lighting. Therefore, even if Greece's electricity has become quite popular (compared to For other countries~www.wuxiaspot.com~kerosene still has a part of the market"

What Constantine said is the goal of the Greek industry in the next period of time.

Little Nobel considered the information provided by Constantine, kerosene co-firing boilers, heavy oil, motorcycles, gasoline, lighting, and kerosene.

Almost all of the refining products of petroleum can be used effectively.

"This time the government has reformed the tax system, and now the Greek people have some spending power," Cantoriotis reminded after putting down the French-style baked snail shell in his hand and wiping his mouth with a handkerchief.

Thinking of the tax system reform that Greece just implemented, the people also have a certain spending power.

As for the promotion efforts mentioned by Constantine, it doesn't matter whether the scale of the oil market is worth worrying about - anyway, the Nobel family only relies on technology to invest in shares, and has not contributed a cent of cash.

At that time, there was no market for petroleum products in Greece, and the oil companies lost money, and it had nothing to do with the Nobel family.

For the Nobel family, this is a sure-fire deal.

Moreover, since Greece won the war in 1896, its territorial area has doubled. It is not as weak as before, and its independent status can only be maintained by relying on the support of European powers (Britain and France). The future market potential is also considerable.
