Greece’s Roman Road
Chapter 153: Coal worries
"But according to what I have heard, 90% of the population of Albania today is purely illiterate, and they can't even spell a word."
"And most of them are msl"
"Albania was recently recaptured by Greece, um,"
Thinking that the word ceding seemed inappropriate, Little Nobel changed his mouth.
Speaking of this, Little Nobel looked suspiciously at Yakov, the current head of the Purple Robe Foundation, beside Constantine.
According to Constantine's cooperation method, the oil company formed by the cooperation, the Hellenic Oil Company, is going to make a large investment in the city of Ferry.
Including the extraction of oil, the purchase of equipment, and the construction of petroleum refineries. For cost considerations, it is best to set up factories directly in the local area.
Although Constantine's so-called Greek economy will be transformed and upgraded in the next period of time, oil demand will rise rapidly.
However, in a backward region like Albania, is it a bit too whimsical to carry out a lot of investment and construction?
You know, Albania is still under military rule.
How to solve the basic infrastructure, such as electricity, transportation problems, and employee problems?
"Don't worry about it, Mr. Nobel," Yakov said confidently.
"Once the financial situation of the Greek government improves, according to the government's work plan, it will increase its investment in Albania," Yakov revealed.
"For example, the railway, the government intends to build the main railway line from Albania to Athens, via the Epirus region."
"At that time, even if the railway does not pass through Ferry City, we can also invest in the construction of a branch line to facilitate the transportation of Ferry City's petroleum products."
In fact, the city of Ferry is very close to the coast, and the nearest Adriatic coast is only about 50 kilometers away in a straight line. Moreover, the city of Ferry is close to Vlora, an important port city in the southwestern region of Albania.
"According to the government's plan, a railway will definitely be built between Vlora and Tirana," Yakov said, dipping his fingers in wine, he drew a rough map of Albania on the white tablecloth, and asked Xiaonuo Bell explained.
In this era of railways, the construction of railways was usually accompanied by the laying of telegraphs. When the railways were completed, the telegraphs were also connected.
"Don't worry about electricity"
"Recently, we, Tesla Power, have made a decision to invest in a hydroelectric power station in Albania," Karl, the manager of Tesla Power, who was present, told everyone.
"The hydroelectric power station in Albania, located in the lower reaches of the Vijosa River"
"After completion, priority will be given to supplying electricity to the port of Vlora and the city of Ferry"
At present, the power plants in Greece are basically thermal power plants, which generate electricity by burning lignite.
For infrastructure like power stations, due to the long cost recovery cycle and high investment costs, Tesla Power Company, with the development of Greece's cotton textile industry and food processing industry, has only started to make profits in the last two years.
Recently, the food processing industry in Greece has also become a big power consumer, such as olive oil pressing plants, flour processing plants, etc., which contribute a lot to the profitability of power companies.
In order to speed up the control of Albania, after the government reform, Constantine specially informed the manager of the power plant, Karl, to invest in a small hydroelectric power station in Albania.
With the maturity of the AC power system over the years, with the help of Tesla, Tesla Power Company plans to make breakthroughs in the field of hydropower generation, and this small hydropower station itself has an experimental nature.
If this experiment is successful and the feasibility of the hydropower station technology is confirmed, Tesla Power will build a number of hydropower stations in Greece in the future.
"The workers don't have to worry," Constantine said.
"Greece has implemented compulsory education for many years, and there is no shortage of qualified workers"
"Even an engineer, a student of the University of Athens, is a good choice"
Little Nobel looked at his uncle, and Nobel nodded slightly and said, "Recently, the education foundation has also begun to enter Albania."
"Sponsoring the Development of Greek Language Education There"
"The more illiterate there are, the better for Greece."
The Royal Education Foundation, which has sufficient financial resources, has long since entered the territory of Albania under the command of President Sophie Crown Princess and has sponsored school-age students.
No way, in terms of education, the Greek government can't count on it at all.
The current Royal Education Foundation is similar to the sovereign wealth fund of later generations, and her beneficiaries are almost all Greeks.
Moreover, in these years, the foundation has benefited greatly by investing in industry and commerce in Greece, and its financial resources no longer rely solely on the Congolese colonial government as before, in accordance with the funding agreed with Constantine.
For example, in this oil company, in addition to the Zipao Foundation, the largest investor, it is the funds of the Education Foundation. The Education Foundation will occupy 20% of the shares in the Greek oil company.
After comprehensively considering these circumstances, seeing that his uncle also agreed, Little Nobel finally made up his mind.
Constantine was also very happy to see that the Nobel family was finally drawn into the Greek oil company, which means that in the future, Greece's economy will have a new growth engine - the oil industry.
"How about it, Costerbrunn, now you don't have to worry about the kerosene co-firing boiler?" Constantine said to Costerbrunn.
With the gradual development and maturity of the Congolese colonies over the years, especially the completion of the Congolese railway system, combined with the reality that the Congolese waterways are crisscrossed, after the joint operation of railways and shipping, the rich resources of the Congolese colonies have been fully revealed to the world.
The shipping company under the Greek Congolese Corporation is responsible for the freight and part of the passenger business from Congo to the Mediterranean Sea. The freight business is getting busier and busier, and the thermal coal consumption is also increasing.
Now ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Congo's raw materials such as cane sugar, rice, poppy (used by Philip Pharmaceuticals to extract morphine), wood, copper ore, rubber, ivory and other raw materials are being shipped to Europe in increasing quantities.
All of Greece's thermal coal and part of its steel-making coal are imported from the UK. At present, Greece has become one of the UK's important coal customers. This is a hidden concern for Greece's economic stability.
Important energy sources are too single!
Once the UK is unable to provide Greece with sufficient coal, Greece has no other backup options.
Although Germany is also rich in coal, due to its geographical location, the cost of German coal to Greece is higher than that of British coal.
The industrial development of Greece is heavily dependent on foreign countries, especially Britain.
Therefore, after the oil fields in Albania came into view, Constantine suggested that Costebro, the Athens shipyard could try to change the purely coal-fired boilers, use kerosene mixed-fired boilers as ship power, or even use them completely. Heavy oil is the energy source for ships.
After all, despite the high sulfur content of crude oil in the oil field, Greece can produce it on its own.
And almost all thermal coal is imported from the British.
When the relationship between the two countries is close, there is naturally no problem, but who can guarantee that the relationship between the UK and Greece will always be close without the slightest setbacks?
