Although Nangong Hou looks a little crazy, his abilities are really good, especially when it comes to machinery. As long as he is given some simple equipment, parts and raw materials, it is basically no problem for him to design and assemble oil refining equipment.
What problem.
With him as the leader, this refinery, no, it should be said that the refinery is changing every day. Lin Ziran hired a lot of local young people to serve as workers, and also asked Qingshan Trading Company to help recruit a few people with some skills from the county.
, this refinery was built with difficulty, which is actually a small refinery workshop.
Although the factory building is just that small and the equipment is very rudimentary, it can at least refine oil!
Now that the oil refining workshop has been initially set up, its refining capacity has actually exceeded the current crude oil production.
Well No. 1 is just an artificial well, with a daily output of just over two barrels. This output is really pitiful.
Lin Ziran was waiting for Well No. 2. Well No. 2 was a mechanical well. The current drilling depth had reached more than 80 meters, and they had actually discovered oil penetration at more than 70 meters.
This also gave Lin Ziran great confidence and allowed the construction team to continue drilling.
But how deep we have to dig to find the oil layer is still unknown.
A few days later, Qingshan Trading Company had already started selling kerosene. Since the quantity was not large, only about 3,000 liters per month, Qingshan Trading Company could retail it by itself.
And the sales momentum is very good. Although the price is only a few cents cheaper than whale oil, kerosene burns stably, has no smell when burning, and the light is bright. More importantly, whale oil is sold everywhere these days.
Extremely out of stock.
Due to the continuous impact of successive years of war, especially the large number of whaling ships that were requisitioned by many coastal vassal towns for military service, the output of whale oil is extremely limited, and the supply in the market simply exceeds demand, otherwise it would not have risen to one liter.
Fifty constant points is a sky-high price.
In this case, in fact, whether it is kerosene or whale oil, as long as it is in stock, there is no need to worry about selling it.
Seeing that kerosene was selling well, the supply from the refinery was only about a hundred liters a day. This made Sun Guan unable to sit still. He found Lin Ziran and asked cautiously: "Sir, there is an urgent shortage in the market now.
Fuel, as much kerosene as there is on the market can be consumed, I wonder when the kerosene production can be increased?"
Lin Ziran pressed his hands and said while drinking tea: "Shopkeeper Sun, don't worry, this expansion of production will take time, don't rush it!"
Lin Ziran said calmly, but in fact he was also anxious. It took a lot of time and a lot of money was invested, but the No. 2 well in the oil field never produced oil. He could
any idea.
no way!
All we can do is wait!
Even if the No. 2 well fails to produce oil in the end, the No. 3 well will have to be drilled in another location. In this case, the delay may be even longer.
Sun Guan saw Lin Ziran's calm and calm look, and thought to himself that his concentration was indeed a bit lacking. Looking at Lin Yingguan, he was much calmer.
Facing the kerosene market that sells six to seven thousand yuan a month, or even more, I can still drink tea calmly.
No wonder he was able to serve as the battalion officer of the patrol camp. With his determination alone, he had to be admired.
Sun Guan felt that his performance was really bad. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea to hide the embarrassment on his face, and then said: "My subordinate's concentration is not enough for you to be effective. I just looked at the golden Heng Yuan."
It’s really a pity that we can’t make any money right now. Recently, some rural salesmen have asked if they can buy our kerosene, but we can’t get the goods here.”
Lin Ziran nodded slightly and continued to smile: "Shopkeeper Sun is serious. He can manage the Qingshan Trading Company in an orderly manner. Looking at Qingshan Town, there is no other person with this ability."
"As for the kerosene, Shopkeeper Sun, you can improve the channels first. Later, when the production comes up, we will distribute the goods as soon as possible!"
Sun Guandao: "What your lord is saying is that my subordinates have already begun to distribute goods in nearby villages and towns, and have also begun to contact other rural salesmen and businesses in other towns. They have shown samples and agreed to provide a supply of kerosene once it arrives.
Give it to them for sale!”
"In addition, my subordinates have also sent people to Sanyang Ferry to set up a branch, and have also sent people along the Luo River to the ports on both sides to collect relevant information. This will definitely not delay future sales!"
Lin Ziran is still very satisfied with Sun Guan's ability. Although it is not outstanding, it is still quite satisfactory, and this is enough.
After another chat, Sun Guan went back. He was also a busy man and had a lot of things waiting for him in Qingshan Trading Company.
As soon as Sun Guan left, he saw Luo Mazi walking in quickly with an excited smile on his face. Before this person arrived, he shouted: "Sir, the oil is coming out, the oil is coming out!"
When Lin Ziran heard this, he stood up immediately: "Is there oil in Well No. 2?"
Luo Mazi nodded continuously: "Yes, oil is coming out of Well No. 2. I just saw the black oil coming out with my own eyes!"
When Lin Ziran heard this, he couldn't sit still. Just by hearing this adjective, he knew that the No. 2 well must have produced oil, and the output was definitely not small.
He quickly walked out and said at the same time: "Prepare your horses and go to the oil field!"
At this time, Scar had just arrived at the side hall. After hearing this conversation, he hurriedly followed Lin Ziran and said at the same time: "Sir, is there oil in the oil field?"
Lin Ziran said: "Not bad."
Although Scar is an illiterate gangster, he knows that kerosene is extracted from petroleum, and he also knows that kerosene can make a lot of money.
But Scar, Luo Mazi and others are the same. They can't understand how to refine kerosene from petroleum.
In fact, currently, except for Lin Ziran and Nangong Hou, no one else knows the principles of refining kerosene. Those workers who are illiterate only maintain the most basic operations. As for the few technical backbones, they only know the mechanical aspects.
The rest are only half-understood.
Although Scar and Luo Mazi don't know the principle, they don't care about it. They only care about when the kerosene production capacity can be increased and they can make more money.
Soon, Lin Ziran and his men mounted their horses and rushed to the oil field.
Now he is eager to see the No. 2 oil well and the oil!
In Lin Ziran's eyes, that's not oil, but flowing gold!
