Chapter 4274: The lure of oil

An early snack stall in Xinzheng, South Korea.

"My God. What happened to these Mengla people?" a reader said earlier while eating his own.

"What's the matter?" a diners on the opposite side asked curiously.

"The local governor suppressed the riots of the Menglais and killed more than two hundred people. Oh my God, I really don't know what those Menglais think. We opened a factory there and provided them with jobs, and they actually resisted.” The person reading the newspaper said so.

"Well, what I know is that there seems to be a drought over there," said the diners opposite.

"What's wrong with this?" the newspaper reader asked, putting down the newspaper in his hand.

"The people there are almost starving to death. I heard my father say that this person will go crazy if he is hungry. Look at the people over there, I guess it is the same. Think about it, this person hasn't It must be crazy to eat, I think, the same is true over there. Once this thing is missing, it will become very crazy. The price of this must rise." The opposite person said.

"Hey, I think what you worry about is really superfluous, and you don't want to think about how many colonies we have in Korea. I heard that the rice in Yuezhou is three-cooked a year, three-cooked, and there is too much food to eat. Listen. It was said that it was made into rice wine, but this rice wine is very awful. We can’t finish drinking it at all. It’s still awful. It’s really hard to believe that if so much rice is transported in the past, they can still starve to death. I can say such things." said the person reading the newspaper. This makes it difficult for the other party to refute, after all, he thinks what the other party says makes sense. He seemed unable to refute it.

Inside Zhang Liang's office.

"Prime Minister, the southwest monsoon came late there. It went early and brought insufficient precipitation at all. The situation in the entire Indydi is very bad, and they lack a lot of food to get through. In this case, the situation there. There will be great changes." An official said worriedly.

"I know this situation." Zhang Liang took out a newspaper and handed it to the other party. The official's mark is to transport a large amount of grain from Vietnam to Indy as soon as possible.

"There is a lot of food there. Arrange ships as soon as possible. What is needed there is food, and food is more effective than ammunition." Zhang Liang said. Zhang Liang is very clear. At this time, transporting food is far more effective than ammunition. A soft policy is more effective than a tough policy. Zhang Liang knows this very well.

"Yes. Prime Minister." The official quickly ran to the shipping office. They were responsible for the specific shipping. In order to show that this matter was very special, the other party also used the word urgent.

Shipping Department.

"What a joke. Who ate too much rice." An official said, looking at the report with the word "urgent" in his hand.

"Do they know if they are transporting rice to Indy, there are not many ships docking there. Moreover, the rice is very worthless. Who would transport this stuff is simply unlucky." The official said, he gave the report. Put it in unimportant files. The documents there are already piled high, and there are still a few boxes not far away. This is what they are going to do, but they can't do anything. Ships also need to consider the cost. When they transport rice, they have to lose money because the rice is really worthless. In the past, they may have to lose a lot of fuel costs, which is really not worthwhile. Therefore, no ship is willing to transport these rice to that place.

Many ships transport specially selected valuable things to transport, elegant films, munitions, ores, and a large number of various trophies, people, in short, the more strange things, the more they like them. Because of the huge output of rice, no one wants to transport such a thing. But such things can save lives, but no one wants to transport such life-saving things. This thing can cost them their own lives, and they can pay for it alive. They still don't want to do such a thing.

Goguryeo. Black soil city.

"We still need to build a large number of merchant ships. Most areas are now building their own merchant ships and opening up their own commercial trade routes. We also need such merchant ships." Li Lin looked at the future plans of Goguryeo and said. Shipbuilding is the most technical place, and it is also a place where a large amount of steel is consumed. This is a technological upgrade.

"The overall ideal is very long-term. Now the demand for ships from various countries is very large. If we participate now, we will not only meet our own shipbuilding needs, but also allow our situation to develop quickly." The Minister of Economy said with a smile. To.

"Well, we should do this. This is an upgrade to our industry. We should pay attention to technology, and shipbuilding can best reflect technology. Our shipbuilding can solve many problems." The other party said.

"Yes, yes." The Minister of Economy nodded and said. But in fact, he himself does not know what is going on in this situation, he just knows that shipbuilding can make money, and the current demand for transport ships needed by various countries is very large. With such a huge demand, shipbuilding will naturally make money.

The cost of shipbuilding in Qi, Zhao, South Korea, and Chu began to rise, mainly because labor prices continued to rise, and workers’ salaries continued to rise. If they were not raised in wages, they would go on strike. This kind of thing has happened many times. Threats, coercion and temptation do not have much effect. The only way is to change industries. For example, in places like Goguryeo, they have a lot of cheap labor and can put shipyards in them. Asking them to build ships can solve their problems. And they have an advantage in labor. With this advantage, the price of their ships is not too high.

However, Zhao Guo does not spend a lot of money. Maybe they will make money because they have mastered the core technology, such as the use of heavy oil boilers and steam turbine technology, which are currently only available in three countries. Qin, Zhao, South Korea, and Qi are studying, and it is said that they have succeeded in the laboratory. The state of Chu introduced related technologies, but it will take some time to overcome them. Because it is too difficult for them.

Under such circumstances, all countries are calling a lot of shipbuilding business to countries like Goguryeo. South Korea puts shipbuilding business on the more remote Queen Island and other regions. In short, the domestic situation has not allowed shipyards to do this. The industry continues to stay there. This is a demand for industrial upgrading. Under such circumstances, many situations become favorable.

Industrial upgrading is the only channel to be carried out. Goguryeo introduced a large number of shipyard technologies and related businesses in such a smooth situation. For Goguryeo, this is a new way of development.

Inside the office of the chairman of the United Petroleum Corporation building.

"Let them do it by themselves. It's strange that such things can make money," Zhang You said. His assistant reported an interesting thing, which is like this. Most of their situations have become much more favorable. For example, this is the current situation, and it is still beneficial to them.

His assistant submitted a report. This is news about the joint development of oil by the Carthage government and local businessmen, because many oil companies are not interested in the projects there. If this is the case, the development will become very difficult. The reason is that they believe that the demand has become extremely small, and in such a situation, many things cannot be changed. This situation will make their situation extremely unfavorable. Without demand, it means that there is no market to give. Without a market, it is extremely crazy to invest rashly, and it will cost them a lot of money. This kind of thing can only be done by a madman.

But under such circumstances, the Carthage government has gone crazy. They seem to have grasped the last straw. They believe that this thing called oil can save their lives. Under such circumstances, they can live better. This is their current situation. This is extremely beneficial to them.

But all oil companies are not optimistic about such projects. They think that this thing will cause them heavy losses, so no one is willing to touch such a thing, it will make them completely lost. They would not do such a thing.

State of Zhao, Handan.

"The Carthaginians think they have oil there, so they want to develop it. However, they lack a certain technology and have a certain amount of capital. If we can solve this problem, they are willing to provide us with more Give us the resources." The Minister of Energy found Zhao Jia and said.

"Is there oil there? Don't fetch water, we have no place to cry at that time." Zhao Jia is extremely sensitive to oil.

"However, Prime Minister, there is indeed something wrong with the situation there. The distance is too far. If we use it ourselves, it may be very unfavorable." The Minister of Energy said worriedly. They are extremely sensitive to energy, as long as there is a drop of oil, they will try it, mainly because Zhao Guoqiang is afraid.

"That said, it is too far away. However, they can provide us with it nearby. You must know that our refined oil is transported back from here. In this case, the consumption will be very large. If there is oil available, We don't have to worry about such things anymore." Zhao Jia thought for a while and wanted to say so.

South Koreans do not lack oil. If they need it again, the price of oil will plummet. This is a disaster for oil companies. Therefore, they don't need to develop, but Zhao Guo needs them. They are too short of so many things.

"You can give it a try, pay attention, don't lose too much." Zhao Jia said.
