Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Old Liu, why did you bring me here?"

    After having a hearty meal at Wangyue Tower, Liu Jin took Zhu Houzhao to Oil Street to check out the sales of kerosene and gasoline.

    Kerosene, diesel and gasoline are lighter product oils obtained by retorting petroleum. They are also the most important combustion oils and are related to the development and use of internal combustion engines.

    Now the internal combustion engine has just come out, and petroleum smelting has just come out. Many products produced from petroleum smelting are now sold as lighting oil.

    Only when internal combustion engines enter production and daily life on a large scale will the demand for oil increase rapidly.

    Liu Jin estimates that it may not take too long. At the current development rate, it may take two or three years for Ming Dynasty's demand for oil to surge.

    ¡°Look at the big projects that will make us money in the future.¡±

    Liu Jin took Zhu Houzhao to an oil store selling kerosene and gasoline. There was a long queue in front of the store, and a large number of people were queuing up to buy kerosene and gasoline here.

    ¡°Is it the oil business you told me about our partnership last year?¡±

    Zhu Houzhao looked at the long queue in front of him, smelled the familiar smell of gasoline, and suddenly remembered it.

    "Yes, that's it. In the future, internal combustion engines will be used more and more, and the demand for oil will be greater and greater. Naturally, we need to make arrangements early, otherwise how will we make money?"

    Liu Jin nodded, and then curiously asked an uncle standing in line: "Uncle, what are you waiting in line to buy?"

    The other party looked at Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao. The two people in front of them saw who was the young master, and he quickly said: "Two young masters, everyone is queuing up to buy kerosene and gasoline."

    "Kerosene, gasoline?"

    Liu Jin pretended to be confused and asked: "What's the use of this?"

    "Of course it is used for lighting. In the past, whale oil was used for lighting. This whale oil is getting more and more expensive, and even if it is expensive, the key is that even if you have money, you can't buy it anymore. It is becoming less and less."

    "Fortunately, now that kerosene and gasoline are available, they are cheap and easy to use, so everyone is now switching to kerosene and gasoline lamps."

    "It looks like the business here is pretty good, right?"

    Liu Jin nodded slightly and continued to ask.

    ¡°Not only does it look good, it¡¯s simply very good.¡±

    "A lot of people are buying it because it's cheap. People used to be reluctant to light up lights at night, but now it's different. With kerosene and gasoline, everyone is more willing to light up lights at night. The capital is brighter at night.  .¡±

    "You can buy a big barrel for a few hundred coins. Whale oil is very expensive. A barrel costs 2 taels of silver."

    "That's it, thank you uncle!"

    Liu Jin was generally clear after listening.

    The main reason why kerosene is so popular is that it is cheap. As for gasoline, it is easy to volatilize and is not suitable for lighting. It is most suitable for burning cars.

    ¡°It seems like it¡¯s still a good business.¡±

    Zhu Houzhao touched his chin and said.

    "It's just the beginning. The brightness of lighting oil is not very high, so large cities need a lot of lighting. In rural areas, people basically work when the sun rises and rest when the sun comes in, and basically don't need it at night.  illumination."

    "But the cities in Ming Dynasty are getting bigger and bigger, and the population is getting more and more. The lighting oil alone will be a huge market, not to mention the situation after the large-scale use of internal combustion engines."

    "What I'm worried about now is that there's not enough oil."

    Liu Jin said as he walked into the oil store. The waiter wanted to stop Liu Jin, but when he learned Liu Jin's identity, he quickly informed the shopkeeper and welcomed Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao inside.  .

    ¡°I¡¯ve met my boss~¡±

    Shopkeeper Wang respectfully saluted Liu Jin and the prince. Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin were the owners of the Daming Oil Company. Everyone in the company knew this, but he did not expect that Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin would come back to the oil store one day.

    "How is the sales of this oil?"

    Liu Jin nodded slightly, and then asked about the sales of kerosene and gasoline.

    ¡°It¡¯s very popular and very easy to sell.¡±

    "Because our oil is sold very cheaply, people in Beijing now come to buy our kerosene and gasoline for lighting oil."

    "Whale oil is too expensive, and candles are also expensive. The key is that the candles are not bright enough, and our kerosene and gasoline are the cheapest."

      Shopkeeper Wang also said quickly: "Now, this small store alone sells more than 2,000 barrels of oil a day, and the entire Beijing-Tianjin area uses more than 10,000 barrels of oil a day."

    "Ten thousand barrels of oil?"

    ????????????? &#24378&#29306&#32&#104&#120&#106&#120&#115&#46&#99&#111&#109&#32&#35835&#29306&#12290 ¡°How much is this barrel of oil?¡±

    Liu Jin was slightly surprised when he heard this. This barrel of oil was very large in later generations. No matter how much oil was used in the Beijing-Tianjin area, it would not be said that 10,000 barrels of oil were used a day.

    "A barrel of oil weighs fifty kilograms~"

    Shopkeeper Wang replied again.

    "Fifty kilograms of oil per barrel, the Beijing-Tianjin area uses 500,000 kilograms of oil a day?"

    Liu Jin was slightly shocked when he heard this. The amount of oil used must be too much.

    This time z.com Zhang Si.  "Sir, half a million pounds of oil is not too much."

    ¡°Residents don¡¯t actually use much oil for lighting. The real oil users are factories, workshops, commercial streets, restaurants, hotels, brothels, teahouses, etc.¡±

    "At night in these places, the lights are brightly lit, and there are countless lamps lit. A large amount of oil needs to be burned every day. In the past, whale oil was not very economical. Now that the price is cheap, it is not easy to save.  It¡¯s coming.¡±

    ¡°When the oil lamp is lit at night, it shines brighter than during the day.¡±

    Zhida z.com Zhixiao.  Shopkeeper Wang also explained with a smile.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????

    "With such a huge amount of oil, is there not enough oil at the refinery?"

    Liu Jin thought about it and nodded slightly. He seldom went out for a stroll at night, but he still knew that Zhuque Street was brightly lit at night. Where the powerful and powerful in the capital gathered, almost every doorway would light up at night.  When the lights come, it is indispensable to light some lights in the front yard.

    This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading, there will be more exciting things to come!

    It¡¯s impossible to save money. If you can¡¯t even light a light at night, how can you be considered a wealthy family?

    What¡¯s more, it doesn¡¯t cost much to light a lamp, so it won¡¯t save any money.

    As for those who need to open for business at night, the lights must be lit, otherwise who would come to your place in the dark?

    "It is indeed not enough. The supply of goods from the refinery is becoming increasingly insufficient."

    ¡°It is said that the oil production from refining is not enough. Oil is only available in the Luyan area of ??Shaanxi and Gansu, and the output is relatively small, and transportation is not easy, which means that the current oil production cannot keep up.¡±

    ¡°Originally, the commercial bank was said to be planning to open branches in big cities in the south such as Nanjing, Songhu, Ryukyu City, Guangzhou, Quanzhou, and Nanyang Crescent City to sell our kerosene and gasoline.¡±

    "But because oil production is not enough, now we can only do it in the Beijing-Tianjin area."

    Shopkeeper Wang nodded and replied.  &#24378&#29306&#32&#57&#57&#98&#120&#119&#120&#46&#99&#111&#109&#32&#35835&#29306

    ¡°Branches must be opened, and they must be opened in all major cities in the Ming Dynasty.¡± At this time 99bxw x. com Zhang Si

    ¡°If oil production is not enough, we will find ways to increase production, or find new oil fields to mine. Kerosene is such a cheap thing, but it is the best lighting oil for ordinary people.¡±

    Liu Jin thought for a while and said.

    Daming itself does not produce oil, and its oil storage capacity is very small. The only big oil fields are the Daqing Oil Field in Liaodong, and there are some large oil fields in the Western Regions.

    As for other places with oil, the oil production is very small, and it is not easy to exploit.

    "Daqing Oilfield~"

    "This is a big oil field, and it's right here in Liaodong, relatively closest to the Beijing-Tianjin area. I actually forgot about it, and then I asked someone to buy the land here, and then slowly  Slow mining.¡±

    Thinking of the Daqing Oilfield, Liu Jin's eyes sparkled with gold again. This is a super large oilfield that has been exploited for decades, and the oil production has always been large.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:?????? From now on, you can just lie down and count your money, and drive slowly, and it won¡¯t be a problem to drive it for decades or hundreds of years.

    "This oil store of yours is not in a good location."

    "I think it would be better to move next to the main road, separate from the oil stores that sell cooking oil. Moreover, cars now also refill gasoline. It is inconvenient to drive in to refuel. Driving on the roadside should be convenient for cars.  Come on, this is better. In terms of safety, we should also think of more ways to strengthen management and prevent water leakage."

    Liu Jin looked carefully at the oil store in front of him. The oil store was not large in scale and the management was average. The key was that it was opened in this oil street. This always felt like it was not working.

    This gas station is mixed with a gas station that sells cooking oil. It is neither fish nor fowl, and it is not convenient for cars to refuel. The gas station that sells kerosene, diesel and gasoline needs to be developed in the direction of a gas station and built on the roadside to make it convenient for cars to refuel.

    "Yes, boss, I will discuss this matter with the trading company later and implement the young master's wishes." Zhida z.com Zhixiao

    When Shopkeeper Wang heard this, he quickly and respectfully replied, although he didn¡¯t understand why he was doing this, but Liu Jin said, you just need to execute it, you don¡¯t need to understand it
