Alex has never been to the Elizabeth Oilfield, so he doesn’t know how Adan Company extracts oil, but it is certainly not as noisy as the wet market in Ahvaz. The oil wells of major oil companies are crowded together to join in the fun. What is frustrating is that Ahvaz is located inland, 150 kilometers away from Port Elizabeth on the Persian Gulf, and more than 1,200 kilometers away from the Mediterranean Sea. There are currently no oil pipelines directly leading to the Mediterranean Sea, so major oil companies dig oil from Ahvaz.
The oil that comes out has to be transported through Port Elizabeth.
The problem is that Port Elizabeth is now under the control of the Umbrella Company. If you want to ship Ahvaz oil from Port Elizabeth, you have to pay a high toll to the Umbrella Company. This toll directly doubles the cost of Ahvaz oil, which has a serious impact.
In order to change the profits of major oil companies, Royal Shell was preparing to cooperate with Standard Oil to build a new port on the Persian Gulf coast northeast of Port Elizabeth to get rid of the constraints of Port Elizabeth.
Of course, the investment in building a port is huge. Whether it is necessary depends on the oil reserves of Ahvaz. If half of the port is built but all the oil in Ahvaz is mined, the gain will outweigh the loss.
"If we were the only company, we could dig out the oil in Ahvaz for a century. But if everyone rushes in like this, the oil in Ahvaz will be exhausted within ten years, and it may not take more than ten years." Christian.
Ted, the chief expert of the oil exploration company, expressed optimism about the oil reserves in the Persian Gulf. In the last century, large-scale oil fields were discovered in Baku, north of the Persian Empire. Now oil has been discovered in Ahvaz and Elizabeth at the same time.
Information indicates that there may be a huge oil basin underground in the Persian Empire.
However, current technology is still unable to make an accurate judgment as to the exact amount of reserves.
Nominally, Christian Petroleum Exploration Company and Adan Company are not affiliated with each other. In fact, Rock owns shares of Christian Petroleum Exploration Company, and Christian also owns shares of Adan Company. Under the premise of cross-shareholding, the ownership of the shares is not the same.
Clearly, this is also to reduce the tax burden.
"Don't worry, give me some time, and I will drive all these oil companies out of the Persian Gulf." Twain has used the oil along the Persian Gulf coast as the wealth of the umbrella company, and will never allow others to get involved.
"Then you have to hurry up. A dozen new oil companies have been established in London in recent months. Those people are looking for oil all over the world." Ted knows the situation better. There are only a few large oil companies now. I don't know.
There are so many famous oil companies.
The current situation of Adan Company has become the best illustration of the prospects of the oil industry. Two years ago, Adan Company did not exist. However, with the help of Elizabeth Oilfield, Adan Company became a leader in the oil industry in just two years and accumulated a lot of achievements.
A large amount of wealth has stimulated countless investors to invest in the oil industry with sterling pounds, hoping to replicate the myth of Adan Company.
As for the background of Adan Company, many investors don't care. Most of those who dare to invest in the oil industry have backgrounds and can see the prospects of the oil industry, so they are willing to risk their lives.
The development of the oil industry has also gone through several stages, with prices doubling almost every ten years. Since the beginning of the new century, with the emergence of the internal combustion engine, the world's demand for oil has increased significantly. Oil that was previously poured into the river
Gasoline has become the darling of the market. Traditional petroleum refining technology can only separate no more than 20% of gasoline from crude oil. The refinery in Port Elizabeth has used the latest "thermal cracking" technology to successfully reduce the refining ratio of gasoline to never.
to 20% directly increased to about 45%.
"They have no chance -" Tang En didn't care. The prospects of the oil industry are indeed good, but the development of the industry will not always be linear. The price of crude oil will also fluctuate with the market conditions. These current investors are very
You will soon feel the cruelty of the oil industry.
One fact is undeniable. The world today is not yet heavily dependent on oil. The United States experienced a plummet in oil prices in the 1870s. With the increase in U.S. oil production, kerosene production quickly soared. Eventually,
Supply exceeded demand and prices plummeted, causing countless investors to suffer heavy losses. This is why Standard Oil completed its monopoly on the market.
The current situation is very similar to that in the 1870s. With the emergence of the internal combustion engine, the demand for gasoline is growing. However, as the production of oil continues to increase, the market will soon be oversupplied, and then there will be another
A large number of oil companies disappeared silently.
The main reason why supply will soon exceed demand is that the strategic reserves in southern Africa are about to be completed. At that time, the umbrella company will relax control and sell large quantities of oil. The output of the Elizabeth Oilfield is almost half of Romania's oil output, plus the United States and
Russia and the current oil companies in Ahvaz will be good if half of them are left in two years.
This is how Rock explained to Ade.
"Southern Africa has the best cars in the world. Now the production of cars is constantly increasing. The price of gasoline has become an important factor in popularizing cars. What we have to do now is to lower the price of gasoline and promote the popularity of cars. This will indeed affect the
It will be a part of the company's profits, but it will definitely be a great stimulus to the development of the automobile industry." Rock really wants to experience the pleasure of manipulating oil prices. The oil industry is too chaotic now and needs a major reshuffle. This is also a protective umbrella. Royal
Consensus of Shell, Standard Oil, and Steeva, which was acquired by Deutsche Bank.
Royal Shell and Standard Oil plus Steva, these three companies each account for 20% of Romania's oil production.
"If you lower the price, it will harm the interests of Adan Company -" Ade doesn't know much about the costs of Adan Company. Compared with Romanian oil fields, Adan Company's biggest advantage is cost.
Unlike those oil wells in Romania that require manual digging, most of the Elizabeth Oilfield is a self-blowout well. When a well is dug on the ground, the oil will spurt out on its own. The daily output of one well is more than ten wells in the traditional way, so
Adan has a huge cost advantage. Even if the current price is reduced by half, Adan will still make a profit, while other oil companies, including Royal Shell and Standard Oil, may lose their bottoms.
As for Stiva, this company is not part of the plan. After the outbreak of the world war, Stiva will be divided up.
"There will be some impact, but it is not important. On the whole, it is still beneficial to us." Rockburn is worried that the losses within the embankment will be replenished outside the embankment. The automotive industry can make up for the losses of Adan Company. Nyasaland only produced high-end products in the past.
Models, now also starting to produce various mid-range and low-end models, the price is still advantageous.
There is no way around this. When Nyasaland just started producing bicycles, the American Ford Company had not yet been established. Now Ford has withdrawn from the Model T car and the assembly line is also being designed. After the Hailan Park factory is completed next year, Ford will
The company's output can reach a maximum of one car every ten seconds. If Rock wants to popularize cars, the first thing he must face is the competition from Ford.
Ford launched the Model T in 1908, established its first overseas sales agency in Paris, France that year, and built its first factory outside North America in Rochester, England, in 2011. Nyasaland Automobile Group had not yet established a presence in the country.
When it comes to setting up factories in Europe, Rock will definitely not sit back and watch Ford seize the market.
Different from the Ford factory, the Nyasaland Automobile Factory has begun to implement assembly line production a long time ago. However, due to restrictions, the output of Nyasaland Automobile is not high, and there is a big gap with Ford Automobile. p>
The main reason for the gap is the number of workers and the size of the market. The current population of the United States is close to 100 million, while southern Africa and Africans are still less than 10 million. The overall gap is too big. Even if more cars are built, they will not be sold.
After all, the market size is still too small.
The same gap is also reflected in the price. When the Ford Model T was first launched, the price was only 850 US dollars, which was less than 200 when converted into pounds. The highest price of the Baron car customized in Nyasaland was more than 10,000. This also forced
Roque launches civilian models.
The latest civilian model launched by Nyasaland Automobile Group is priced at only 150 pounds. Even at this price, Nyasaland Automobile Group still makes huge profits.
The biggest difference between southern Africa and the United States is that the United States has abolished slavery. Although southern Africa has also abolished slavery in name, the rights of Africans in southern Africa cannot be guaranteed. The annual salary of a white worker or Chinese worker must reach 1
About 100 rand, the annual salary of an African-American worker is only 20 rand.
The average salary offered by Ford to its employees is about five US dollars. This salary is a daily salary, which is almost 400 pounds when converted into an annual salary. In the future, the price of Ford Model T will further drop to about 300 US dollars. Ford workers only need to work
You can buy a Model T in four months.
Rock hopes that cars in southern Africa will be popular to this extent in the future, which will be a great boost to the economy of southern Africa and the entire country will benefit from it.
"If you decide, then do it. I will explain it in London." Ade gave Roque full autonomy. If Roque lowers the price of oil, it will definitely have an impact on Royal Shell. Royal Shell will be surprised by this name.
You know, there is an inextricable relationship with the British royal family, and this relationship needs to be balanced by Adelaide.
This is also the reason why Ade is willing to take the blame for Roque. The registered place of Adan Company is the Adan Islands, which is not yet a territory of Southern Africa, so the income of Adan Company has nothing to do with the federal government of Southern Africa.
However, the export of Nyasaland's cars to Europe has a lot to do with the federal government of Southern Africa, and taxes must be paid.
