Although the Imperial Oil Company has just been established, the framework is extremely well established. Whether it is the top management or the middle and lower-level employees, they are basically directly transferred from the Royal Oil Company.

To a certain extent, the Imperial Oil Company was actually split from the Royal Oil Company.

Not only the personnel, but also the many patents of the oil industry were authorized. Of course, the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises also paid real money for this split.

Although some senior officials of Royal Petroleum have some opinions on the splitting of their own company, there is no way.

The establishment of the Imperial Oil Company is a national policy, and Li Xuan, the Son of Heaven, personally approved it.

And Royal Oil Company is not an ordinary commercial company. Naturally, it needs to take into account the political influence. It is also their task to support the development of the imperial oil industry.

The Imperial Oil Company, which was directly spun off from the Royal Oil Company, is not lacking in talent and technology.

All they lack is the oil field!

Although the oil was found in Dayuanfu from the beginning, and the Dayuan oilfield was ready to be developed, the output of this oilfield was too small to satisfy the huge appetite of the Imperial Oil Company.

Under this circumstance, it is logical for Imperial Oil to devote its efforts to the Southeast Asia region to find oil.

Not to mention, in fact, this was also pointed out by the Holy Son of Heaven, Li Xuan.

Others don't know it yet, but Lin Ziran himself knows it. Huaxia is not without oil, but there is, and the reserves are not small, but several large oil fields are relatively deep, not to mention development with the current crude technology. Can't find it.

If it is tossing around in the mainland, it is better to go directly to Baku and go to Nanyang.

Baku is already doing it, but the Nanyang side has not started yet.

Lin Ziran knew that in the early oil industry of later generations, especially before the First World War, there were four major oil producing areas in the world, namely the United States, Southeast Asia, Baku in Russia, and Romania.

As for the Middle East, South America and North Africa and other regions, it will be developed slowly in the future.

Considering the distance and actual control issues, only Baku and Nanyang can be developed on a large scale at present.

Other places are restricted by the import and export committee, and there is no way to develop at all.

The Datang Empire has very strict restrictions on this, not to mention oil, even if gold mines are found in the indigenous control area, they cannot bypass the import and export committee. The localization of this place is mining with mechanical equipment.

This is also why Imperial Oil Company focuses on places such as Luzon and Banten, because the localization of these places has already been carried out. , it is also almost localized, and only some finishing work is left, and localization can be declared.

The people from the Imperial Oil Company heard that the indigenous people on Xidan Island used oil to play with fire and so on. It was initially determined that there must be oil on Xidan Island, so they sent a survey team to it.

The result was even smoother than they thought. The survey team hadn't even got equipment and drilled oil wells in the local area, but found a dark pond there...

It's all oil on it!

what is this?

This is the most typical natural oil seedling!

In other words, because of limited technology, it is more to search for natural oil seedlings first. After confirming that there is oil in this place, we will conduct further investigations, and then invest heavily in drilling to find oil layers.

The large and small oil fields discovered by the Royal Oil Company have basically come from this way.

Today, Imperial Oil Company is no exception. After all, the current technology is limited, and they cannot use a more complex and scientific way to infer that there is oil somewhere.

After finding the oil seedlings, the next step is easy. The survey team directly transformed into a drilling team and drilled wells on the spot. Although the first well failed to produce oil, they moved to another location and then drilled the well. This time, the well was drilled. oil!

When the news came back to Shanghai, the Imperial Oil Company immediately decided to invest huge sums of money to prepare for the exploration and exploitation of oil on Sidan Island.

At the same time, the construction of the refinery is going to start, and not one, but four are planned.

They plan to build oil refineries in the Pearl River Delta, Yangtze River Delta, and Tianjin to sell kerosene to various regions nearby. The last one will be built directly on Sidan Island, and it will be used to nearby Southeast Asia, India and even Europe. Export kerosene.

But here comes the problem!

Although Sidan Island is now an imperial territory, it still belongs to the category of overseas territories. In the above-mentioned areas, it has not been completely localized, at most, it is 50 to 60 percent complete.

This also limits the investment of Imperial Oil Company.

However, although the Imperial Oil Company was just established, they all came directly from the Royal Oil Company, and this style of doing things also had a strong Royal Oil Company style.

Not finished localization?

It doesn't matter, just localize it!

Anyway, it's not that the entire Banten Province has been localized, it's just an island.

Even if the island is a little bigger, as long as you invest enough, localization is a matter of minutes.

And Imperial Oil is not much else, just more money!

People have millions of cash lying on their books and nowhere to spend!

While they took the upper-level line, they let the only shareholder, the Ministry of State-Owned Enterprises, take over the top management, make a few policies, and try to get the military to cooperate.

At the same time, they also took the middle-level route and directly supported the Xidan government yamen to promote localization work. After all, the oil was on Xidan Island. If the Imperial Oil Company wanted to develop local oil, it would inevitably have to cooperate with the local government yamen to develop oil. local oil fields.

Just like in Suzhou and Baku, the local government finances directly use local oil resources to invest in shares, and cooperate with Royal Oil Company to set up an oilfield development company. Shares are not.

In the end, they also went to battle in person and found the Spaniards who were in desperate need of labor.

The first sentence is, now there is an entire island of labor, do you want it?

Spain said that people they want, but they don't have the money to buy so many slaves?

Upon hearing this, the representative sent by the Imperial Oil Company said seriously: Please note that we are not selling slaves, it is against the law!

We are just a labor dispatch, and this is free, no payment.

Of course, the premise of free is that you need to recruit locally.

The Spaniards were not so easily impressed. They figured it out and ran over to recruit them. The recruitment cost is not low. The organization of the armed recruitment team is a lot of expenses, and then they have to transport people. But across the Pacific Ocean, the transportation cost is not low.

In this way, the up-front cost is more expensive than that of the indigenous people in Africa.

The result is still shaking his head!

In the face of this situation, Imperial Oil Company expresses its pettiness!

You don't need to organize any recruiting team anymore. We have Nanyang Labor Service Company. They are very good at recruiting free laborers. As long as you give a little hard work, they will be happy to help. It is far cheaper than organizing a recruiting team yourself.

As for transportation, it doesn't matter if you don't have ships. We have a lot of ships. The transportation cost will be paid according to the freight rate, which is cheap and sufficient. If you really can't afford the money, you can also directly use these laborers. The developed plantation, the mineral income is paid.

We Datang people are very talkative!

When Spain heard this, it was first of all contempt, who said that you Datang people are easy to talk to.

The most unreasonable people on this earth are none other than you people from the Tang Dynasty, and even the Tatars are better at talking than you.

If it wasn't for the Tatars who had to take Western Europe, maybe they would have stopped the war with the Tatars long ago.

However, after complaining, I made some calculations and found that in this case, the upfront cost would be much lower, and it would be much cheaper than recruiting labor in Africa~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I immediately stroked a pen.

This matter is so settled, we will have as many as you have!

Therefore, it didn't take long for the staff of Nanyang Labor Service Company to enter Sidan Island on a large scale and began to recruit local laborers.

Going deep into this tropical rainforest island to recruit labor is not a small risk, so even in the Nanyang Labor Service Company, there are actually not many Datang people.

Except for a few management members who are from Datang, many employees, especially the employees of the recruitment team, are actually mostly indigenous, mainly from India.

The indigenous action is naturally extraordinary. In less than a month, the Indian-based recruitment team, after paying more than 1,000 casualties, successfully recruited tens of thousands of free laborers on Sidan Island. , and many more are being recruited continuously.

These laborers would gather at the port and board the Datang steamship hired by the Spaniards.

In order to save money, the Spaniards hired Datang ships, which were all old sailboats with small tonnage, and they were also freighters. The most important thing was to pack as many people as possible, all of which could fit into the race. .

Usually a thousand-ton ship, if it is a passenger ship hired by the Immigration and Reclamation Division, or simply their own immigration ship, then the number of people carried is only a few hundred people.

But in the hands of the Spaniards, a thousand-ton ship could fit a thousand people.

But this is the Spaniard's own business, and Datang can't control it.

The top management of the Imperial Oil Company was in a good mood seeing that the indigenous people on Sidan Island were decreasing day by day. They turned around and went to the Yamen of the Governor of Banten Province to push the locals to submit a letter to request the localization of Sidan Island.

This localization also follows the precedents of Luzon Island in Luzon Province, Mindao Island and Baku.
