    At the same time, Dr. Ford believes that the border government will not reject his proposal.  Because the extraction of oil is only the first step. To convert crude oil into usable fuels and various raw materials and derivatives, it needs to be purified and refined.  The better the refining equipment and the higher the technology, the more products can be converted from each unit of crude oil.  As far as he knows, China's oil refining technology is still at the stage of indigenous refining, and the conversion rate of crude oil per unit can only reach about 30% at most.  As for professional oil refining equipment that can extract aviation kerosene, not to mention the border region government, even the whole of China does not have it.  After all, the manufacture of aviation kerosene is not just as simple as refining. To make high-purity fuel products, in order to prevent incomplete combustion and impurities, a sky-high price of combustion accelerant is required in the manufacturing process. At that time, except for the United States and Germany, such technology  , not even the Soviet Union.

    As the largest oil and natural gas producer in the United States, Mobil not only had perfect refining technology, but also had the most advanced refining equipment at that time.  Using this equipment to refine oil, the conversion rate of crude oil per unit can be as high as 65%.  Compared with local oil refining, the utilization rate of crude oil can be more than doubled, that is to say, the income of the border region government will also be doubled.  No one in this world is against money.  Therefore, Dr. Ford is very confident that the border government will soon agree to his proposal.  Then he can earn a huge price difference from the middle through transactions with the US government.

    However, to Dr. Ford's surprise, Li Hui rejected his suggestion without even thinking about it.  This wasn't because he saw through Dr. Ford's thinking, but simply looked down on those junk devices.  After a while, I found two sets of refining equipment with an annual output of 50,000 tons from Panjin Oilfield, although these equipments were all in the 1960s and 1970s.  However, after improving its crude oil refining rate, it can reach more than 85%, and other substances contained in crude oil can also be extracted during the refining process.  Such a device with a conversion rate of only 65% ??compared to Dr. Ford can indeed be called garbage.

    Sure enough, after the two sets of equipment were moved over, those American oil and gas experts, including Ford, were immediately dumbfounded. Dr. Ford even turned his head and wanted to buy this equipment from Li Hui.  However, considering the transportation problem, it is naturally unrealistic to buy physical objects.  In the end, he could only settle for the next best thing, and bought the complete design drawings of this set of equipment from Li Hui, and then manufactured according to the drawings after returning to the United States.  Of course, Li Hui would not treat this old American man softly just because he was an acquaintance. He finally sold this set of blueprints sent by the machine to Ford at a sky-high price of 1 million US dollars.  Converted according to the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and gold at that time, this transaction earned Li Hui 0.8 tons of gold.  His grandma's made a lot of money.

    There is also Dr. Ford who feels that he has made a lot of money. After all, this equipment is a hen that can lay golden eggs.  At that time, the annual crude oil production of Mobil Oil Company was calculated in tens of millions of tons.  A 25% increase in the original conversion volume per ton means that their total profit will also increase by this amount. With this figure, the purchase price of one million US dollars is really too cheap.

    It is precisely because of this that Dr. Ford also informed the U.S. government of the news that the border region government sees oil fields and can produce aviation kerosene.  Sure enough, after hearing the news, the U.S. government immediately asked the ambassador to China, Gao Si, to sign an oil purchase agreement with the border government.  Such a thing is naturally desirable for the border region government that is short of money.  So the two parties reached an agreement quickly through negotiations.  The U.S. government buys 2,000 tons of aviation kerosene from the Border Region government every month at a price three times higher than the market price.

    Of course, the aviation kerosene was purchased by the U.S. government in name, but the actual user is the Chongqing government, so the Eighth Route Army has to hand over the oil to the Eighth Theater every month, and the latter will transport it to Chongqing, Kunming and other places  .  This also means that a few months ago, Tuzuo banned all goods in the border area, and the order to flow into the Kuomintang-controlled area has completely become a piece of waste paper.  Although he slapped himself in the face, the bald seat didn't dare to be unhappy. After all, this was an order from Sam's godfather. Hey, it's really difficult to be someone's godson

    In addition to oil, other construction projects in the border area have also made great progress.  Synthetic rubber plants, man-made fiber plants and urea fertilizer plants derived from the petroleum industry have all been put into operation.  The thermal power plants that guarantee electricity for oil fields and coal mines have also been put into operation to generate electricity.  The fuels used are those natural gas that are associated with oil fields.  Due to limited funds and manpower, the border region is still unable to make full use of these natural gas.  Except for fertilizer plants, power plants and some of them are stored in gas tanks for backup, the rest can only be discharged directly during the mining process.

    Li Hui watched these precious gases being discharged in vain.  Although I feel a little distressed, there is nothing I can do. There is no way. Who makes the foundation of the Eighth Route Army poor?that is all.  Naturally, it is impossible to cover everything. Given the current situation, of course, we must first pick up some important things and build them. As for the others, we can only wait until later.

    Ah, by the way, when it comes to funds, the border region government has actually survived the economic crisis, and this is all thanks to Du Mingyang.  After the kid persuaded the judge to open the portal for him, he immediately returned to the border area and asked the Prime Minister if they had any relationship with the United States.  When the Prime Minister heard this, he was taken aback immediately. If it was the Soviet Union, it was the United States The Turkish Communist Party is not the League, and all of them are from poor families. Even if some people went abroad to study, they went to France and Germany.  These countries with surging thoughts, this is the United States!  Let alone the relationship, they have never been there.

    However, the Prime Minister quickly remembered that although they had never been there, there are some genuine Americans in the border area now!  That's right!  Those Chinese pilots from the United States.

    So the Prime Minister immediately sent someone to ask around, and only after this questioning did he know that the families of these people who dare to love have some status and influence in the United States, especially in the Chinese circle, they are basically Chinese immigrants from all over the United States.  collar

    However, this is not surprising.  Don't forget, these people's flying skills are basically self-taught, and they all graduated from aviation schools run by Chinese. Even in those days, their families didn't have any money and power, so they couldn't send their children to learn to fly.  !

    The most powerful among them is the family of Gao Zhiyuan, the vice principal of the aviation school. His father is not only the leader of overseas Chinese in the San Francisco area, but also the leader of the largest Chinese community in the area.  .  Several of his uncles and uncles also monopolized several large industries among the Chinese in San Francisco.  To put it simply, their Gao family is basically the local emperor.

    Hearing Gao Zhiyuan's introduction, Li Hui was immediately delighted. What Du Mingyang needed most when he went to the US market to open an account was such support.  So the local asked Gao Zhiyuan to write a letter of recommendation for him.  Afterwards, you will hand over this letter to Du Mingyang and ask him to go to San Francisco to seek help from the Gao family.

    The process is not listed in detail.  Anyway, a young man named Du Mingyang appeared in the Chinese community in San Francisco a few days later.  Although no one knows his origin.  But others can tell at a glance that this kid must be a young man who was cultivated by a big family.  Because no matter when he always has a very elegant temperament, and he is also very sophisticated in his speech, behavior and dealing with people.  At a glance, you can tell that you have seen the big world since you were a child.  More importantly, as soon as he appeared, he was regarded as the guest of honor by the Gao family of San Francisco local snakes.

    Of course, all of this is superficial. With the appearance of Du Mingyang, a large number of rare goods suddenly appeared on the black market in San Francisco. Among these things, there are cigarettes that were listed as controlled products after the war, and soon became very scarce.  , Spirits.  There are nylon stockings that were once popular in Europe and the United States, but disappeared from the market after the war because they could be used as military supplies.  There are also exquisite workmanship, the watch straps are plated mechanical watches, tie clips that show status, leather belts, and wallets.  Lipsticks and perfumes that make thousands of ladies obsessed.  The plastic toys that make countless children obsessed

    These are very precious, and even many people have never seen them before, and they quickly became very sought-after items in the black market once they were launched.  Then it became popular in the Chinese district of San Francisco, and then this wave spread to other neighborhoods, and soon the people in the entire San Francisco area, whether white or yellow, began to be crazy about these commodities.

    Nobody knows where or how these things came from and ended up in San Francisco, and for ordinary people, these things kept them from the boring times of wartime economic control.  With a body of material and spiritual comfort, this is enough.  With people's obsession, the sales of these things are also increasing.  It quickly reached a huge number.

    However, as the saying goes, people die for wealth, and birds die for food.  When some people saw the huge wealth brought by these things, they immediately became jealous and began to inquire about the places and origins of these things in order to get a share of it.

    However, as soon as these people acted, someone from the Gao family came to them and told them that these things were sold by the Gao family.  Some people are afraid of the Gao family's identity and strength, so don't choose to stop.  Others who were blinded by huge benefits and chose to continue to search for the root cause disappeared without a trace very quickly, as if they had evaporated from the world.

    After that, the sales network of Gaojia quickly spread outward.  Soon these things were popping up in cities all over the West Coast.  With the hot sale of these things, the profits he earned also reached an astronomical figure.  But what no one knows is the vast majority of this enormous fortune.  They were all taken to another world by that young man named Du Mingyang, and after being exchanged for other items, they were transferred back to Northwest China thousands of miles away.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com)hlnovel.com
