Chapter 334 German
The petrochemical industry is a capital-intensive, technology-intensive and political-intensive industry. Politics is the foundation of the petrochemical industry, capital is the foundation of the petrochemical industry, and technology is the foundation of the profitability of the petrochemical industry.
Political capital and technology are inseparable in the modern energy industry, and the best example is the Soviet Union. Their petrochemical companies are state-owned enterprises, and there is a large number of loans from banks. There is no shortage of politics and capital, but the labor productivity of the Soviet Union's oil has never improved. Even in the Baku and Caucasus regions, which they value most, the output of oil and petrochemical products is still not high. Since the 1960s, the Soviet Union's economy has become increasingly difficult. Every General of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union has paid considerable attention to the oil industry, but production cuts still happen from time to time.
Over time, the high-cost nature of the petroleum and petrochemical industries has put forward higher and higher requirements for speed and efficiency. In fact, it has put forward higher and higher requirements for technology.
By the 1990s, oil companies in the international market could not survive if they could not achieve scale production and scale efficiency. Just like Sucheng's Sultan oil field in the United Arab Emirates, with an annual output of 4 million tons and close to 5 million tons, this high output is an excess profit, but if the output is reduced to 1 million tons or 500,000 tons, the profit will not be so considerable. If you include the taxes and fees given to the United Arab Emirates and the sales of bidding oil fields, you may lose money.
People see the monopoly profits of oil, but they don't see the technology investment behind the oil companies. An obvious example is Iraq. Before the Iraq War, Iraq's oil production was one of the best in OPEC, and it was the same in the world, and almost all of them were extracted by their own oil companies.
After the war, Iraq's oil companies were so destroyed that they could not produce their own oil. Iraq was often criticized by OPEC for overproduction of oil, but after the end of the war in Iraq, oil production could not reach a proportion, so in the end, it had to turn to foreign oil companies.
Even so, it will take at least two or three years to restore the production of the oil field. As for Iraq's own oil companies, it may take 10 years to reach the pre-war level. Of course, 10 years later, they suffered a new round of blows, so the recovery time is far away. The technical requirements of the petrochemical industry are only high but not low for the crude oil industry. 〖 The ethylene production in China has always been a problem, and the refined oil is actually not enough. 〖 China has long had the problem of selling crude oil to purchase refined oil. Some people think it's incredible. Why don't they refine their own oil?
In fact, the refinery is not enough, and the refining tonnage is not enough. If the country needs 1 million barrels of diesel and gasoline a day, while the domestic refined oil production is only 600,000 barrels, there is no doubt that 400,000 barrels of refined oil will be imported. No matter how much the oil production is, the final product used by everyone is still petrochemical products.
To produce more tycoon refined oil products, it is not only a matter of capital investment, but also a continuous improvement in technology and labor productivity.
According to the internationally accepted principle, there are very few factories that produce a barrel of six oil and earn one dollar. In fact, this is only a profit of 0.3%, in other words. If the technology does not meet the standard, the production cost is 3 percentage points higher than the international average cost, and the refining is a waste of work. The cost of the refinery can't be recovered.
If the refining cost increases by a percentage point, it is correct to buy than to buy.
In this case, Dahua has invested tens of millions of yuan to buy oil refining technology, which is very attractive to large oil companies such as Sinopec. The strategic conflict between the two sides is one thing, and it is another thing to visit the Dahua Petrochemical Base.
In fact, the inspection of Dahua Petrochemical has become the norm for various companies. Some branches have even issued rules for rotating learning. They value not only the equipment and technology that Dahua has purchased, but also the foreign technicians invited by Dahua, and the technicians of BASF, which is responsible for training employees of Dahua Industry.
Technical workers in these developed countries often have the most practical skills on the front line, which is naturally the most direct way to improve their level. However, the procedures for state-owned enterprises to hire foreign workers are very complicated. It is often necessary for the state to introduce a series of learning policies before such training can be carried out. If there is no policy, the leaders of state-owned enterprises would rather wait than find traps for themselves.
Most of the time, state-owned enterprises need to train 1 employee and send employees abroad.
It can be imagined that the cost is very high, but enterprises such as Sinopec and CNOOC inevitably need to send employees to study abroad. Otherwise, the technology can't keep up is on the one hand. It is more troublesome to lose orders because of the lack of technology.
Sucheng naturally does not have all kinds of restrictions and insecurity of state-owned enterprises. Dahua Petrochemical Company is eclectic. It not only has its own training 1 system, but also accepts BASF's training..." At the same time, it also poached foreign skilled workers...
After more than a year or two, the level of Dahua workers has reached a higher level, and their training 1 system has also shown its power. Xie Weiwei saw a group of workers who were learning. Workers in the 1990s, whether in state-owned enterprises or private enterprises, have a positive understanding of learning. People talk about going through the back door, but when they have the opportunity, they will study hard. Xie Weiwei saw a worker with his neck raised high, holding a notebook in his hand, and the other hand was desperately trying to make a record without looking at his eyes.
She walked over gently and saw a pile of strange words written on her notebook: "What is this?" Xie Weiwei bent down, and her nose was full of the smell of oil and lubricating oil. After watching it for two minutes, her head was dizzy.
"Shh." The worker looked down at her and seemed to be a little attracted by Xie Weiwei's beauty. However, the foreign engineer on the stage was talking again. The worker hesitated for a moment and raised his head and stared at his movements.
At the same time, more inexplicable words appeared on his notebook: "Paiplan brother can send tourists to Coramen"
Then, he turned the page and continued to write quite recognizing Jiang.
Xie Weiwei waited for a long time. After the engineer on Lan Yu's stage finished speaking, she quickly asked, "Are you taking notes? Remember what he said."
"That's not true." This worker looks like he is about six years old. He was embarrassed to look at Xie Weiwei, so he lowered his head carefully and couldn't see the "shh" just now.
"What do you mean by what you wrote? What is Zhuan Lanlin?
"Hmm."
"I'm asking, what does this word mean?"
"I don't know." The workers are very shy, especially when there are people watching.
Xie Weiwei was generous and said in surprise, "You don't know what it means. What do you do when you write it down?"
"Hmm.
"Uh, what?"
"Hmm."
"Can you only say yes?" No matter how bold Xie Weiwei is, she should not be bold.
The worker said gently, "Hmm."
Xie Weiwei rolled her eyes and had a meaning of fainting. She thought: Fortunately, foreign workers are not like this, otherwise they don't know how to complete the task. At this time, the onlookers in front of her shouted boldly, "I don't know what it means, write it down, and find a translator at night and you will Old Hu can't beat a fart. Didn't you tell him to play the piano to the cow?
Xie Weiwei was helpless and said, "You can't understand their words, and then take notes by voice?"
"Yes."
"Then why don't you let people who understand, such as translating and sorting out a note?" Xie Weiwei feels that she has found a good way. Don't you understand German? Find a copy that you can understand, and everyone can copy it.
Lao Hu said quietly at this time, "Then how can I learn German by myself?"
Xie Weiwei was stunned and asked, "Are you learning German?"
"Hmm."
"Have you learned it?"
"Hmm."
"How much have you learned?"
"Hmm."
The dialogue entered a dead cycle again, and Xie Weiwei turned to others for help.
The talented workers answered loudly: "We all learn German, German workers all speak German, and the company's equipment is also German. If you don't learn German, you can learn anything."
"Have you learned it?"
"Let's have a conversation? Several of us can chat with German workers. The loud workers are very proud.
Xie Weiwei was a little surprised and opened her mouth slightly. The foreign language in the era was quite popular, and the small language could especially attract people's attention. Dahua's workers can communicate with Germans on a daily basis, which is not bad.
She thought for a moment, grabbed Lao Hu's notebook, turned to the page she had read before, and asked, "What I just asked, what is Zhu Plin?"
"Sampling."
"Pipplan."
"Tube."
"This" Xie Weiwei read it with great difficulty: "I can send the solicitor to the door."
After reading it, I found that it was quite smooth.
Lao Hu whispered at this time, "Split the distillation tower."
"What?"
"Split the distillation tower."
Xie Weiwei looked at the others. Seeing someone nod, she turned her head and said, "You know it's so long, but you don't know it's so short? If you know, what do you remember?
"I just memorized it yesterday, and I can't remember it clearly." What the workers said was very honest.
Xie Weiwei's heart moved. She raised her notebook and looked at the light.
The original palm-thick notebook has expanded to the thickness of the fist. The pages inside are all loose bubbles, and the edges are also dark. Turn to the front, you can see the annotations of pens of different colors, all of which are German words with Chinese phonetics, and some with large descriptions. It shows that the master has read and recite a lot.
Lao Hu suddenly was a little awkward. He grabbed the notebook back and whispered, "I'm stupid. I remember slowly, and I can't understand a lot of them."
"If you don't understand, it's useful to see their explanation?"
"Wor write down the actions of foreigners and do it again on the Internet. The effect is very good." When workers talk about technology, they relax.
Some people next toalso said, "It's no problem to go back at night, memorize words for two hours, learn two hours of movements, and master three or five times."
"If you don't understand, ask people. If you don't understand, ask people. What are you ashamed of?" This is an authentic northeastern accent with a bold tone.
Xie Weiwei suddenly sighed. As a cadre of the Planning Commission, she has seen countless people sitting in the office, but she has never experienced this strong and hot learning mood. The smell of oil around is also easy to be ignored.
