Yuzhou has begun to convert some roads from white to black, that is, laying asphalt pavement on top of cement roads.

There are three sources of asphalt: coal tar pitch, a by-product of coking, petroleum asphalt, the residue of crude oil distillation, and natural asphalt.

Mota Touche Petrochemical is the largest petrochemical company in China. Let’s not talk about production capacity, let’s talk about Mota Touche Petrochemical’s crude oil storage capacity.

The crude oil storage of Mota Touche Petrochemical has a long-term supply of production oil for three months.

If the entire crude oil reserve is full, Mota Touchlight Petrochemical's crude oil consumption can be guaranteed for half a year.

At present, international oil prices still maintain a fairly stable state, with prices generally below 30 US dollars. There are fluctuations, but not too much.

Although oil prices remain relatively stable now, Chen Huaiqing knows very well that after entering the 21st century, especially after 2003, oil prices will continue to rise.

It was not until 2009 that oil prices plummeted due to the global economic downturn.

Mota Touchlight Petrochemical now has three major petrochemical production bases in the country, Shencheng, East Guangdong and Jinkou.

Jinkou Petrochemical Production Base was officially put into operation this year.

In addition, the Shencheng Petrochemical Production Base and the Guangdong Petrochemical Production Base are continuously expanding their production. Now the annual crude oil demand of Mota Touchlight Petrochemical has soared to 80 million tons.

The entire country's oil production last year was only 150 million tons!

Naturally, this gap must be filled from overseas.

Mota Touche Petrochemical imports oil from the Gulf region, transports it back and processes it into various petrochemical products. In addition to supplying domestic products, many of them are re-exported.

Mota Petrochemical's gas stations are not only available in China, but also in some Southeast Asian countries.

Many countries in Southeast Asia do not have petrochemical industries.

In addition, some products of Mota Touchlight Petrochemical are also exported to Neon.

Sold directly under the name Neon Touch Petrochemical.

The production cost of Touch Light Petrochemical in Neon is higher than that of Mota Touch Light Petrochemical. Under such circumstances, it goes without saying how to choose.

After Mota Touch Light Petrochemical made money, it never made any dividends.

The money earned is either used to expand production or to make various investments in China.

For example, we invested in and built a headquarters building in Pudong New District, Shanghai, covering an area of ​​more than 40 acres.

Tianyuan Group also built a building nearby.

Not only Tianyuan Group, but also Conian Bank has its mainland headquarters in Shanghai.

Nowadays, building a motorcycle building is really not that expensive in terms of price.

For example, the Jin Mao Tower is 420 meters high, which requires an investment of more than 600 million US dollars.

Compared with the construction funds of tens of billions in later generations, it can be called cheap at this time.

Due to the surge in Mota's petrochemical production capacity, the production of asphalt has naturally increased.

With asphalt, naturally we have to find ways to utilize it.

There are still many uses for asphalt, such as roof waterproofing, cold storage using asphalt mixed with sawdust as insulation, steel underground pipes coated with asphalt to prevent rust, etc.

Anyway, asphalt has quite a lot of uses.

Of course, for people, what they come into contact with and see the most may be asphalt roads, that is, asphalt roads.

Compared with cement pavement, asphalt pavement looks much better.

It is undoubtedly quite good for beautifying the urban environment.

Even though asphalt paving is very good, it cannot be paved just by anyone who wants to.

The price of asphalt is much higher than that of cement.

In China, not many cities are financially wealthy.

The expressway is a two-way eight-lane road, six of which are motor vehicle lanes and there are non-motor vehicle lanes on both sides.

In the middle of the road, a green belt is set up as an interval.

This green belt can not only separate the left and right lanes, but also block the lights of oncoming vehicles at night.

Since it is an expressway, it naturally has to be fast. There are intersections and traffic lights at a certain distance, so vehicles going straight will inevitably have to continuously slow down and stop.

Therefore, there are no intersections on this road.

Under the expressway, a bridge opening specially designed for vehicle traffic has been built.

The bridge openings for vehicles should naturally be larger, and the bridge openings for people to pass should be smaller.

In some economically prosperous villages in Yuzhou, village-to-village connectivity projects have already begun.

Cement roads connect each production team and are built directly to the door of each house to facilitate everyone's travel.

Chen Huaiqing held his head and looked at the scenery passing by outside the window.

The road passes by the edge of the town, passes through the middle of the countryside, and passes through the mountains.

Everything in front of me has Chen Huaiqing's effort in it.

Thinking about that era when I first opened my eyes more than ten years ago, everything seemed so backward.

Now, although Yuzhou has not yet fully developed into an 8D city, the prototype can already be seen.

The city is changing rapidly, and it is even better than in memory.

Wang Wan sat on the passenger seat and glanced at her phone.

There is no signal now.

In cities and towns, mobile phone signals are pretty good, but in rural areas...

Huaguo Network rarely deploys PHS signal base stations in rural areas, and there is no need to do so.

The simple reason is that there are too few people using mobile phones in rural areas.

People also know that if the mobile phone is in a town, there will be no problem with the signal. The further away from the town, the worse the signal will be.

Wang Wan turned around and glanced at Chen Huaiqing, and saw Chen Huaiqing looking out the car window. The crops outside the window were connected together, which made people look very happy.

For thousands of years, Chinese people have had a deep attachment to the land, because everyone knows that only when the land produces food can life be guaranteed.

If you don’t have enough food and clothing, then everything is bullshit!

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Only after satisfying these two things can you consider other things.

Everyone's life is getting better and better now.

In the countryside, you can still see people riding motorcycles from time to time, and you can also see people plowing the fields with small agricultural machinery.

Everything looks good!

We can't talk about being rich and noble, but we can still live a worry-free life.

Next, Chen Huaiqing went to Yuzhou Special Steel and Yangtze Steel to have a look.

Yangtze Iron and Steel is currently the largest steel company in China, formed by the merger of Yuzhou Iron and Steel and Jiangcheng Iron and Steel.

The merger of the two steel companies also caused a huge shock in the country.

At this time, many domestic steel companies were falling into losses.

Especially those small steel plants, compared with large steel companies, do not have any advantage in market competition.

Yuzhou Economic Daily previously published a steel industry analysis report, which pointed out that the merger of Yuzhou Steel and Jiangcheng Steel means the beginning of a merger wave in China's steel industry.

Facing the competition from large steel companies, small steel plants will be completely defeated, and many small steel plants will face bankruptcy.

If you want to break through, there is no other way except to rapidly develop and strengthen yourself.

And if you want to develop and expand quickly, it is not easy.

In this steel industry analysis report, it was pointed out that with reference to the development of the international steel industry, several large steel giants will be formed.

The report boldly predicts that in the end, there will only be a dozen steel companies left in China's steel industry. Among them, several large steel companies have an annual production capacity of more than tens of millions of tons. The production capacity of other small and medium-sized steel companies is between 10 million and 5 million tons.

above.

If it is too low, it will not have a cost advantage.

Use large production capacity to dilute unit production costs.

If the production capacity is not large enough, there will be no way to dilute costs.

Chen Huaiqing has also read that report, and can only say that China has capable people.

Of course, when other people saw this report, some thought it was reasonable, while others scorned it, thinking that the author was just a clown and was making unfounded worries.

Every steel plant is the lifeblood of the local area. How can it be said that it goes bankrupt?
