"Do you want to ask about the production chain and usage of crude oil?"
"Yep."
Helping Fangran to clarify what he was really curious about professionally, Adeline began to explain in a calm voice:
"The processing of crude oil in the field of petrochemicals is roughly divided into two parts—refining and chemicals,"
"By focusing on different refining processes, crude oil is generally processed into six types of petroleum products, including petroleum fuel, petroleum solvent and chemical raw materials, lubricants, paraffin, petroleum pitch, and petroleum coke,"
She also has a very good understanding of the professional knowledge in the energy field, and she is as clear and simple as a few treasures.
"Petroleum fuels are gasoline, diesel, kerosene for transportation, and fuel oil for industrial equipment; light oils such as solvents and naphtha are used in chemicals; lubricants such as lubricating oil and machine oil are used in all machinery;"
"Paraffin wax is mainly used for food and drug packaging, metal anti-rust and printing; asphalt is the most common waterproof and anti-corrosion material in civil engineering, and is mostly used for high-speed road paving, while petroleum coke is used for power generation, smelting, and graphite products based on sulfur content."
Two major parts, six products, industrial fuels, chemical raw materials, all machinery, food and drug packaging... .
Fangran couldn't remember a series of professional knowledge, but before he could digest it, Adeline continued to explain,
"The chemical industry is the output of oil refining, mainly through hydrocarbon cracking and catalytic reforming of raw oil such as naphtha, to obtain olefins mainly composed of ethylene and propylene, and aromatics such as benzene, toluene, and xylene... "
"Stop, stop, stop!"
Hearing her talking more and more hard-core, Fangran, who had already started to react, interrupted quickly, and pressed his forehead and sighed a little dazedly:
"These are all the business scope of your energy company?"
"It's just petrochemicals that involve crude oil. We also process coal and natural gas. May I explain that to you?"
"No... "
Regarding Adeline's thoughtful inquiry, Fangran lightly declined. From what she said just now, Fangran clearly understood two things.
One is to really feel that although there is only one company in the energy field, how huge it is inside,
And the other is...
"The crude oil on those ships can do so many things..."
The energy industry, excluding professional occupations, is estimated to be unknown to most people in this industry, and it can be perfectly represented as a representative of such people. With Fangran's common sense,
He only knows that gasoline and other fuels come from oil, but he has never cared about how lubricating oil and asphalt come from, which are often seen in life.
But even so, Fangran can understand the uses that Adeline said, fuel, lubricant...every item is a very broad direction,
Not to mention the names that made him dream back to high school chemistry. Although the knowledge was returned to the teacher, he still knew that it was related to the "cornerstone" compound.
How wide will the scope of use become...
"In the most downstream chemical plants in the industry, there are more than a dozen products processed from ethylene alone, such as plastics, fibers, rubber...not to mention various alcohols, ketones, aldehydes, acids and cyclic compounds produced from olefins. oxygen compounds,"
"I'm sorry, even I can't list them all to the young master,"
The snow-white and indifferent face was quiet, and Adeline stated with her eyes downcast:
"But it's like the fuel, the tires, the paint, the oil in the engine of this car, the trash cans and plastic bags on the side of the road just now and the road itself, the pesticides and fertilizers sprayed on the farmland in the distance,"
Then he raised his gaze, and looked at Fangran seriously with those quiet eyes.
"Even some of the clothes you're wearing, young master,"
"Most of the things you can see in the real society of this era are more or less derived from crude oil after several or even dozens of processes."
At this moment, listening to her words in a trance, Fangran subconsciously looked down at his suit,
"It's hard to count how many industries are involved. It can only be said that it is the blood and power of modern industry. Even the lifeblood of the economy is a strategic deployment, mixed with political color, and the entire national economy is built on it."
"Master, do you now understand what the energy industry does?"
Finally, listening to the inquiry from the beautiful and indifferent figure in front of him, he was silent for a few seconds before slowly exhaling and responding slightly.
"Understood... "
It is not just one industry, nor is it related to several industries, but is closely related to almost all industries in the world. After talking with Adeline,
Fangran finally understood what kind of field he was going to be in contact with this time.
Most things in the real world...
Looking out of the car window again at the headquarters building of Essenkoferme, Fangran seemed to vaguely understand from Adeline's words just now,
Why did Veronica say that maybe in this incident, she can figure out the reason for the 'unsure'.
Just how to figure it out,
Fangran was still clueless.
Ha... Forget it, I'll think about it later, but now...
In the car, his black eyes dissipated, and Fangran looked at the headquarters building, which was already in front of him.
...
At the same time, the Essenkoferme Building,
From the mining sites established in overseas countries to the branch companies in charge of a certain area, the level of power is progressive, transportation, energy supply... a dozen large-scale departments finally converged into a giant headquarters,
With nearly 100,000 employees and a market value of more than 400 billion U.S. dollars,
There are many components, complex systems, and too many layers above the head to see the top. For the grassroots employees working in it, this is a business kingdom.
At the moment, the high-level people in this 'kingdom' are experiencing a situation similar to that of the Cosi Group.
Those key executives who hold important positions in this huge energy group and are looked up to by many people below are preparing for the meeting with some nervousness.
They can't relax!
It took only one day to solve the hidden dangers of information security of the Cosi Group, and then completely settled the crisis in the medical field.
The CEO who is said to be young beyond common sense is coming!
Of course, if this is the case, they will only feel that, as some old seniority said, a new legend has appeared in the Fiesld Empire, and they are full of admiration and admiration for him.
But the problem is that this 'legend' is too cruel... .
A department representative was also set up in the Coase Group and attended that meeting. Horror rumors that the CEO directly opened a sentence without any reason have spread.
It took a lot of hard work to get to this position in Essenke Frame, and the high-level executives who were afraid of being directly knocked off panicked.
And at this moment in the president's office, one of the members of the board of directors represents the chairman, that is, the man with the will of the empire's pillar in Fischer's energy field,
The majestic figure of Andre suddenly stood up, slapped the big desk with one hand and shouted in disbelief:
"What!!?"
"Sir, I know this is hard to swallow...but..."
And the secretary standing in front of him spoke with difficulty with a face full of pressure.
"Now that the executive and the administrator are almost here, you told me that something like this happened..."
The shouts mixed with anger stopped, and Andre suppressed his emotions. Sitting in this position, he must remain rational no matter what the situation. This kind of gaffe is what he shouldn't have.
Immediately, he showed the courage to manage this huge enterprise. His face returned to calm, as if the anxiety just now was faked, and he walked out quickly:
"Follow me to pick up people first, and completely block this matter, including the company's senior management and the board of directors, so that no one can know."
After Ning Ning nodded, he quickly followed his footsteps, and several core executives who had been waiting followed closely behind, and then the group of big figures who appeared at the same time could not be seen at all in the group.
The moment I came to the hall, I saw two figures appearing at the gate.
The awe-inspiring young man in a black-haired suit, and the majestic administrator beside him,
"It is a pleasure to meet you, young Mr. Executive, and Mrs. Executive,"
The first time he saw the two, he was no longer the young man who shocked the figure at the imperial ceremony that night, and Andre walked out of the queue to shake hands.
Looking at the gray-haired man in his forties, Fangran also nodded slightly to him.
Then, on the way to follow the direction he led,
"I'm sorry for speaking so abruptly on this occasion when we just met, but my rationality tells me that no matter what, I should let the two of you know as soon as possible,"
Fangran suddenly heard Andre beside him speak like this, and then said in a low and dignified voice that only the three of them could hear:
"Just last night, the headquarters building was invaded by unknown persons, and a batch of our important documents were stolen."
