Informing Li Yihui in advance about what may happen in the oil industry in the next one or two years can be regarded as one of Su Cheng's main tasks in Tuen Mun this time.
After all, even though I came here just because I haven’t visited for a long time, it can’t be in vain.
The petroleum industry’s earning power is not inferior to that of the technology industry.
Therefore, although Su Cheng usually doesn't care much about Tianwen Oil Company's affairs, it doesn't mean that he doesn't pay attention to Tianwen Oil Company.
It’s just because Tianwen Oil Company has now entered a stable development track and no longer needs Su City to pay too much attention.
With Li Yihui, a professional, taking care of Tianwen Oil Company, at least for now, he can rest assured.
After chatting with Li Yihui for a long time in the office, Li Yihui took him to visit the oil base, and the morning passed in the blink of an eye.
At noon, Su Cheng specially had a meal with Li Yihui and other Tianwen Oil Company executives in the company, and encouraged these executives who worked for him.
Currently, there are nearly 500 employees in the entire Tuen Mun Oil Base, excluding those construction workers working on the second phase.
In the future, when the entire Tuen Mun Oil Base is completed, it will be a large base that can accommodate more than 5,000 people.
After eating, Su Cheng did not rush back to the city center. Instead, he and Li Yihui and others came to the dock of Tuen Mun Oil Base.
Standing on the dock, Sioux City could find that the dock in the distance, which can accommodate two to three hundred thousand tons of oil tankers, is now in operation.
Beside the pier, there is a very huge VLCC-class oil tanker docked.
“Boss, this tanker is one of the VLCC tankers we purchased from Global Shipping Group. Its load capacity can reach 180,000 tons. This tanker has just transported crude oil from Brunei to Hong Kong. , crude oil is being unloaded now. Every month, we have a very large tanker like this transporting crude oil from Brunei. Today happens to be the day when the crude oil transport ship arrives at the Tuen Mun oil base. In addition, almost every few days, There will also be smaller oil tankers to transport the refined oil." Seeing Su Cheng's eyes looking at the tanker terminal in the distance, Li Yihui explained to Su Cheng with a smile.
"Is the amount of oil carried by only one tanker every other month sufficient for the refining capacity of our base?" Su Cheng asked in surprise.
"Boss, 180,000 tons of crude oil is already a huge number. In fact, there are not too many refineries in the world with an annual refining capacity of more than five million tons. Moreover, our Tianwen Oil Base has only completed the construction of its first In the first phase, the refining capacity has exceeded the annual refining capacity of 5 million tons. This is already a very good result. In the future, when the entire base is completed, this will be a refining base of more than 20 million tons. By then, Our terminals will be busier!
In addition, our Tianwen Petroleum Company now owns multiple petrochemical refineries, such as Singapore and Malaysia, which have our refining bases, the largest refining bases. The annual refining capacity of the base also exceeds 10 million. This base in Tuen Mun currently only supplies the markets of Xiangjiang and Haojiang. Its position is not outstanding among these petrochemical bases. ”
Seeing Su Cheng so surprised, Li Yihui explained to him.
Su Cheng nodded, thinking about it, although he didn’t know much about the petrochemical industry, he also knew about it when Li Yihui acquired those petrochemical companies, such as the Lamma Island he purchased before That Nanyang oil refinery only has an annual refining capacity of 3 million tons.
However, the Nanyang Oil Refinery on Lamma Island has now stopped refining work.
Tianwen Petroleum Company has already reached an agreement with Hong Kong Electric Group to sell the old Nanyang Refinery site to Hong Kong Electric Group and let Hong Kong Electric Group build a new power station on it.
Now, demolition work is already underway there.
Because of this, Su Cheng has not gone to the seaside villa on Lamma Island for a while. While the two were chatting, a patrol boat drove over.
In order to prevent someone from deliberately damaging the base facilities, the Tuen Mun oil base has relatively strict defenses. Even along the coastline, there are special patrol boats patrolling at irregular times.
Last time, Su Cheng took a patrol boat out to sea here and looked at Shekou from a distance, planning to invest there.
It didn’t take long for him to realize this idea. Now Su Group and Hutchison Whampoa Group have invested in many projects in Pengcheng, and they are currently under construction. .
This time, he also plans to go to sea again.
It is a bit troublesome to go to Pengcheng. At present, the highway connecting Pengcheng to Xiangjiang is still relatively backward, and it takes several hours to go back and forth.
Now that we have arrived in Tuen Mun, we might as well take a patrol boat out to sea and take a look over there from a distance to see how the construction of Shekou's industrial foundation is progressing.
Although Yang Chaoye and Wei Li both reported to him the investment progress in the Mainland, how could the reports from others be as clear as what they saw with their own eyes?
Su Cheng, Li Yihui, and several bodyguards boarded the patrol boat and then sailed north.
Although the two places are separated by the sea, the straight-line distance is actually only a dozen kilometers away.
The patrol boat moved very fast and kept going north, and the scenery to the north gradually became clearer.
However, despite the close distance, it is still impossible to land ashore. Shekou has not established a sea port yet, otherwise Su Cheng would not mind stepping forward to inspect it.
"Boss, our ship can sail here. If we move forward, the patrol ship from the north will drive away our ship." When we were still a few kilometers away from Shekou, the patrolman in charge of sailing the ship said to Su Cheng .
Su Cheng nodded and said, "Then drive from west to east!"
He also knew that although he had a special status, the border patrol officers on the opposite side might not know him. , if something unfriendly happens, you can’t blame others.
After all, I have not communicated with the relevant departments in the north in advance, so it is still dangerous to just go by like this.
They are only a few kilometers apart, and the field of vision is wide enough. Su Cheng can roughly see the situation on the other side. Even the workers on the construction site can see it.
The Shekou land purchased by the Su Group has now become a large construction site. Many workers are busy, and there are even several buildings that have been built several stories high.
As for the dock near the sea, it is also under construction.
In addition to these, there is also an industrial park built by the local government of Pengcheng, which is also under construction.
It is not difficult to see from the situation on these construction sites that Pengcheng has also actively cooperated in the construction of these places, and a large amount of manpower investment can continue to accelerate the speed of the project.
"Boss, is the investment value in the north really great? Should our Tianwen Oil Company invest in Pengcheng?" Li Yihui looked at the busy scene opposite and couldn't help but ask. (End of chapter)
