China is currently inferior to the United States in all aspects.

Millions of cars are sold in the United States a year.When China's auto sales can reach about 200, the driving effect of the auto industry on the Chinese economy will be amazing.If there are one million, two million, then China's economy will be very amazing.

"Premier Wang, please estimate. How much will my country's car production be this year, how much will the domestic car sales be, and what about foreign car sales?"

"Ford Motor's factory in Wuhan is designed with an annual output of 1 cars. As long as there are enough orders, they can produce 4400 cars a year. General Motors' designed output is a little lower, but there are also seven In addition, Ford Motor and General Motors are willing to adjust the scale of factories according to changes in sales. Ford Motor has already prepared to establish a second plant in Asia. As for sales, currently General Motors, Ford Motor, and our establishment in Wuhan The Zhonghua Automobile Factory has about [-] orders for cars, trucks, and buses. As for orders from other Asian countries, it is [-]. This includes orders from Japan and Southeast Asia."

"Well, it's just started, and the sales are pretty good."

Duan Xun nodded.

The order quantity is not much, but it is also ok.After all, it is just the beginning, and there will be many orders in the future.Even Duan Xun just found out that these factories are ready for mass production, needless to say about other cities.It's not just that the civilian orders have just begun, including orders from the military and the Construction Corps, which have not yet started.

And with the development of the economy, the demand for logistics will become higher and higher.After all, China's train system still has many shortcomings, and it cannot fully cover the whole country.Not to mention now, even if the train system is so developed 100 years later, road transportation will still be a very important means of transportation.Not to mention now, road transport is a very important component of transport.So some people have already started to think about road transportation, and the demand for trucks will increase by then.

There is demand for cargo transportation, and the demand for passenger transportation is also increasing.Therefore, in some big cities soon, the demand for passenger cars will increase.

"In the auto industry, only one or two auto factories are completely unsatisfactory. In the future, our country needs more auto factories. I hope that General Motors and Ford Motors can train more technicians and auto workers for our country, and also train more supporting industries."

"Prime Minister, I am reporting this matter to you because of the development of the automobile industry, a big problem has arisen."

"what is the problem?"

"oil."

Wang Yongjiang immediately handed over a report to Duan Xun and Dai Kan next to him.

Dao: "Since we developed the Yanchang Oilfield and Yumen Oilfield in the past few years, our country's oil is temporarily sufficient. But once the automobile industry develops, the demand for oil will be very alarming, and our oil will be very large. Insufficient. In fact, our country already has problems in this regard.”

Currently there are only two oil fields in China.

One is Yanchang Oilfield and the other is Yumen Oilfield.For these two oil fields, the government also spent a lot of money.Including a lot of processing equipment, which are imported from the United States.

The oil is basically embezzled by the military.

Newly produced tanks, as well as aviation fuel for the Air Force's aircraft, and the large trucks used by the army's logistics organization, all need a lot of oil.Therefore, the military is currently China's most important oil-consuming unit.Then there are some simple folk petrochemical products.

It can be said that domestically produced oil is far from enough for private use.

"Prime Minister, the oil produced in our oil fields has not been released, so the domestic people are seriously short of oil. The gasoline used by the people is imported, and the price of gasoline is very expensive. A liter is 500 cents. The current car only needs to drive around in Shanghai. One yuan and five are gone. For those who own cars, the cost of gasoline alone is [-] yuan a year. This is still the current situation. When the number of domestic cars increases, the demand for gasoline will increase, and the price of gasoline will increase. It will inevitably continue to grow. If this problem cannot be solved, the cost of gasoline alone will cost thousands of dollars a year in the future. At present, many people in China are targeting the passenger and freight industries, but the price of gasoline is so expensive that it will greatly increase the cost in this area. It will inhibit the development of these industries."

"Two cents per liter?"

Duan Xun was calculating in his mind.

How much is this price?When there are more and more cars in China in the future, the demand for gasoline will increase.Gasoline will be more expensive by then.

"What does Premier Wang mean?"

"Prime Minister, the oil problem must be solved. If the problem of oil use cannot be solved, the development of my country's auto industry will be inhibited. I wonder if we should convene experts in this field and have a good discussion. Let's see how to improve the Yanchang Oilfield and Yumen Oilfield. production, and to find some oil fields with richer reserves. Otherwise, just importing gasoline will require a lot of foreign exchange.”

"kindness."

Duan Xun nodded.

Although I have long thought about the importance of oil.Therefore, under difficult circumstances, a lot of money was invested in the development of Yanchang Oilfield and Yumen Oilfield.But I didn't expect the domestic demand for oil to grow so fast.

Now the annual oil production is only about [-] tons, all of which are divided up by the army.With the rapid development of domestic automobiles, the gasoline needed can only be imported.

But imports are too expensive, so you should have your own.

"Okay. We have our own oil, which can not only be used by ourselves, but also generate foreign exchange for the country. In this way, let Director Li Siguang of the Institute of Geology summon experts in this field. Let's set a date to discuss oil exploration. .”

"Yes."

"Ren Chao (Li Jishen), how is the situation in the Construction Corps? Are the seeds planted? Will the Construction Corps be self-sufficient this year?"

While Wang Yongjiang was reporting on the automobile industry, he also talked about the issue of oil.

The questions raised are sharp.

Because China has also reached the point where it needs oil, and the demand for oil will increase in the future.Not to mention civilian use, the oil used by the military and government agencies alone will increase exponentially in the future.

After all, China needs to continue to develop its air force in the future, and the army will have more and more aircraft.And the current major reform of the army is the increase of armored forces.In addition, China's logistics department has begun to equip a large number of large trucks, and they also need a lot of oil.

In addition to the oil used by the government, the private demand for oil will be even stronger.The development of freight and passenger transport, trains and passenger cars all need oil.And the cabinet is ready to set up the Civil Aviation Administration to develop China's own aviation market.The demand for oil is even higher.

Therefore, it can be said that the issue of oil will really become more and more important in the future.As a country as big as China, as long as it starts to develop, its demand for resources is astonishing.China is still a weak and poor country, and it is impossible to spend too much money importing oil.China itself is still exporting resources in exchange for foreign exchange, how can it spend foreign exchange to import oil.

Therefore, after Dai Kan and Wang Yongjiang left, Duan Xun fell into deep thought, carefully considering the issue of PetroChina.Coal is currently the most energy source in China.In recent years, as the Ministry of Industry has attached great importance to coal mining, China's coal production has been increasing.Especially after the Ministry of Industry delegated some powers and approved local governments to mine some small and medium-sized coal mines, coal production exploded even more. In 1925, China's coal production had reached 7300 million tons, second only to the United States and the United Kingdom in the world.

According to this year's situation, China's coal production this year can even reach nearly 9000 million tons.It is estimated that by 1927, China's coal production could exceed [-] million tons.In terms of coal production, the Ministry of Industry was able to complete the plan one year earlier.

Of course, coal is also used in many ways.

Heating, thermal power plants, and steel mills all use coal, as do trains and ships.Not to mention the coal needed by other industries.In the past two years, Japan has imported more than 2000 million tons of coal from China every year.

Therefore, the demand for coal is high, and the output is also high.And not afraid of not having coal.There are many large coals discovered in China so far.Huge amounts of coal have been discovered in Fengtian, Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, Henan, and Anhui, and the Ministry of Industry has built nine large coal bases alone.So the current situation is that as long as there is enough investment, coal production will continue to increase.And coal is not much to worry about, because China is still short of coal in the current situation.

But compared with coal, oil has many problems.

Many large coal fields have been discovered, but currently there are no large oil fields.After so many years of hard work, they only discovered the Yanchang Oilfield and the Yumen Oilfield.The output of Yanchang Oilfield and Yumen Oilfield is limited, and the traffic situation can't be said to be very good.Because of the lack of oil, China even distills oil in Fushun.If we cannot find an oil field with an annual output of tens of thousands of tons or hundreds of thousands of tons now, we will definitely not be able to meet the demand for oil in the future.

Speaking of oil fields, Duan Xun only knows the names of some oil fields, but not the specific location.After all, Duan Xun did not study oil in his previous life.

Duan Xun knows that there are large oil fields in Xinjiang, that there is oil in the Sichuan Basin, and that there are Daqing Oilfields and Shengli Oilfields.But that's all they know, Duan Xun doesn't know exactly where they are.

The Daqing Oilfield is in Heilongjiang, and the Shengli Oilfield is in Shandong. That's what Duan Xun knows.However, Heilongjiang and Shandong are so big that Duan Xun really doesn't know exactly where these large oil fields are located.If there is no specific scope, it is difficult to drill oil, and it is impossible to find a place to drill a well.This requires those oil experts who theoretically find out some approximate ranges.Only in this way can wells be drilled and oil can be explored.

Unexpectedly, the oil issue has become such an urgent issue.

Therefore, two days later, Duan Xun talked again with Dai Kan, Wang Yongjiang, and the new cabinet member Liang Huankui, who is also the deputy director of the Economic Development Planning Commission and the Minister of Industry, and Li Jishen, the commander-in-chief of the Construction Corps.

Duan Xun first asked Li Jishen about the situation of the Construction Corps.

1926 was the first year of the construction of the Construction Corps. Especially in the northeast, a lot of wasteland had been opened up and a lot of things had been planted.Since last year, a large number of soldiers from the Construction Corps went to the Northeast, and a large number of agricultural university students went to the Northeast and Heilongjiang.

There is only one purpose.

Help the Heilongjiang Agricultural Construction Corps and help them grow food.They study the local climate, study the local land, and make suggestions to the Construction Corps.Tell the officers and soldiers of the Construction Corps when to plant and what to plant.The officers and soldiers of the Heilongjiang Construction Corps, according to their suggestions, decided what to plant this year and when to sow the seeds.

"Prime Minister, our country does not have much experience in planting grain in a place as far north as Heilongjiang. Especially in this large-scale planting, we have no experience. Although we have consulted some local farmers and obtained advice from the Agricultural College Teachers and students help, but I still can’t guarantee it completely.”

Li Jishen was very cautious.

Li Jishen has been in Heilongjiang for a total of two months since the end of March, April and the first half of May.Because this is the first year, it is related to the success or failure of the Construction Corps.Recently, the planting has been completed there, so it has only been a few days since I returned to Beijing.These days he has been with those agricultural experts.
