"Have you made up your mind now?" Qin Tao smiled: "Everyone, if you make up your mind earlier, then all our pipelines will be connected, and crude oil from the Middle East can be transported continuously."

"Mr. Qin, our country's strength is limited. In the past few years, we have mainly built the Qinghai-Tibet Railway. Now, this railway is about to be completed. Although it is a little late to build an oil pipeline, we can give full play to the transportation capacity of this railway.

Transportation costs can still be reduced a lot," the leader said.

"The Qinghai-Tibet Railway is about to be completed?" Qin Tao was very surprised.

He has many things to work on, so he can't be involved in everything. Of course he won't know that the Qinghai-Tibet Railway is also progressing very fast. In 1996, the railway was reviewed and construction started in 1997.

Anyway, railway construction has nothing to do with Qin Tao. It is normal for him not to understand.

The Qinghai-Tibet Railway is actually divided into two phases. The first phase of the project starts from Xn City, Qh Province in the east and ends at Golmud City in the west. Construction started as early as 1958, but it was not completed and opened to traffic until May 1984. The second phase of the project starts from Golmud City.

Continuing to the west and building all the way to ls, the second phase of the project is higher and more difficult to build, so the demonstration was only started in the past few years. However, the country's actions are still very fast, and it is almost completed within a few years.

Compared with roads, railway transportation is much more efficient. The only drawback is that the Qinghai-Tibet Railway is a single track, so you can only miss trains at stations along the way. It is similar to the previous railways. After all, transporting materials to LS does not require much transportation capacity.

When the country builds railways, the main consideration is to facilitate the transportation of troops when needed.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Now, this railway can be used to transport crude oil.

"That's right, the crude oil pipeline on the Laoba side has not been officially completed yet. Let's work harder and strive to complete it at the same time as the crude oil pipeline there, so that it can be seamlessly connected. However, from the national border to ks

This section of the oil pipeline must also be built, otherwise the oil will still not be transported. In short, the time is tight and the task is heavy. Mr. Qin, in order to complete this task as soon as possible, we need the help of Mingzhou Group."

"No problem, our infrastructure company will cooperate vigorously." Qin Tao said: "Opening up this oil artery is of great significance to us."

"It's really difficult in the plateau area. Mr. Qin, what do you think if our oil tanker travels a section of the Indian Ocean and docks in Myanmar, and we build a China-Myanmar oil pipeline to transport the oil there?" someone else asked.

In the past few years, the country has concentrated its efforts and only built a Qinghai-Tibet Railway, which has not been completely connected. It has not dared to invest in building oil pipelines. One of the important problems is that it is too difficult to build on the plateau!

It is the closest distance from Laoba to the country, but the plateau area restricts the laying of pipelines, so is it possible to change the route? If you go to Myanmar, the construction conditions there are much better. Anyway, it is just to avoid Malacca.

"Well, I haven't studied this, so I don't know."

Qin Tao has really not studied the China-Myanmar oil pipeline. After all, the situation in Myanmar is not peaceful. It is not clear who has the final say. Who knows if it is built today and whether the other party will come to ask for more transit tomorrow?

In terms of cost, if a pipeline is built, it must be maintained by personnel. Who knows whether these personnel can stay there safely? If they go out to buy groceries and then have their waist dragged away, then who would dare to work here?

In comparison, Lao Ba’s place is better.

Seeing Qin Tao's answer, everyone knew that Mr. Qin was not optimistic about the China-Myanmar oil pipeline. After all, the Mingzhou Group had almost repaired the Laoba section, so it was impossible to support another project.

.

"The transportation method of oil pipelines is always not as convenient as that of oil tankers, especially when transporting on plateau frozen soil. The pipelines must be heated and some pumping stations must be built. The most dangerous part of our transportation route is the Strait of Malacca. If we and Siam

Will we cooperate and dig out the Kra Canal so that oil tankers can be transported safely?"

Domestic oil pipelines have never been laid. On the one hand, it is because there is really no strength to build them together with the railway. On the other hand, it is because everyone is still hesitant. Is there a better way?

The China-Myanmar oil pipeline is one proposal, and the other is the Kra Canal.

Most of the country of Siam is a whole. Only in its southeastern corner is there a narrow strip called the Kra Isthmus. On one side is the Ten Degrees Strait of the Indian Ocean and on the other side is the Gulf of Siam in the Pacific Ocean. It extends southwards.

Arrive in Malacca.

From a geographical point of view, digging a canal from here can save more than a thousand kilometers of navigation. Moreover, if you take the Strait of Malacca, you need to pass through Malaysia and Singapore. There are world police there, and you can avoid it by taking this canal.

.

In fact, as early as the seventeenth century, Siam had planned to dig this canal, but until now, it has not been successful. There are many reasons. First of all, although Malacca is dangerous, it can be walked after all. This is different from existing canals in the world.

The two main canals: the Suzhou Canal and the Panama Canal are different. There was no waterway there, so it was dug out. There was a timely help, and here is the icing on the cake.

There is also the interference of certain countries. If the canal is successfully built, Singapore will decline, and the world police will not easily strangle East Asia. Of course, they do not want to see this happen.

Therefore, canals have been proposed but never built.

Now, someone else has proposed this plan. After all, the connection between the East and the Middle East is not just oil. A large number of industrial products and daily necessities from the East are also occupying the Middle East market. If this canal is dug, it will allow a large number of domestic people to

The company benefits.

Moreover, even if there is an Arctic route, it is not easy to travel in winter. If you want to go to Europe, you have to detour through Malacca. Once the Kra Canal is opened, European routes will be smoother.

"It is not up to us to decide whether the Kra Canal can be opened or not." Qin Tao said: "Siam has made this plan a long time ago, but it has never been dug out, which shows that the digging of this canal is not that simple.

"

There are many reasons. If Kacha suddenly cuts the long and narrow area in half, it will certainly meet the needs of east-west navigation, but the land passage in the north-south direction will be cut off. You must know that there are a few other roads in the south.

The population is not submissive to central rule. If they are separated, it will be even harder to manage in the future.

From an international perspective, if they want to dig it, they will inevitably face opposition from many countries. Not only Singapore and Malaysia, but the United States will definitely not see the emergence of this canal, so it is quite difficult.

"President Qin, your Mingzhou Group has a very good relationship with the Siamese military. If you propose this plan and jointly develop it, there may be a turn for the better," a leader said.

"Yes, there is nothing that Mr. Qin cannot accomplish."

"Your calculation is very good. If we jointly develop, if it fails, the loss will be ours." Qin Tao said: "We are not a state-owned enterprise. If we lose money, we will receive state subsidies. Our money is earned through our own hard work.

of."

"Mr. Qin, any project you participate in has never failed. If we step in, it may not be possible, but with your step, it will definitely succeed. How can we lose money if it succeeds?"

Qin Tao was unmoved by these high-hatted behaviors. He shook his head: "It's not that easy. If you really want to convince Siam to dig this canal, you have to spend more money.

Benefits come. For example, let Siam become the oil center of Asia."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! So far, Siam is still a country mainly based on tourism, and its economy is not stable. After all, every developed country relies on industry.

Siam has no resources and no high technology. What should they do if they want to develop industry?

Qin Tao came up with a way for them: oil smelting!

The oil transported from the Middle East docks directly at their port on the west side of the Kra Isthmus, then enters the refinery, is smelted into refined oil, and then transported to the eastern port, where it is loaded onto the refined oil tanker and continues to be transported to customers.

, their economy will develop.

Wait, what kind of canal is there to be built?

For this short period of time, we can just let the crude oil travel by land!

"Building a canal is a prerequisite. Only when a canal is built and it is convenient to travel back and forth can a large number of oil tankers come and go. Only when a large number of oil tankers come and go can international petrochemical giants be attracted to settle in and turn them into the oil center of the East.

"Qin Tao said his plan.

The people present widened their eyes and nodded frequently: "Mr. Qin has an idea! This plan is good! Mr. Qin, I would like to trouble you to go to Siam to open up another way for our trade. Don't worry, China

We will also advance the Brazilian oil pipeline plan as soon as possible and will definitely not delay oil transportation."

"Do you want to go to Siam to open an oil refinery?" Qin Tao continued to ask.

Everyone shook their heads. The danger was too great and they didn't want to go.

"Mr. Qin, your Mingzhou Group investment will definitely succeed."
