What the hell is a private enterprise?

Chapter 237 Unable to be Transported (400 Monthly Tickets in April)

Tang Wen suddenly remembered a rumor he had heard in his previous life: every prince from a wealthy family would be given several oil wells as his assets after he came of age.

Now, he can almost be considered half a prince.

At a rate of 4000 tons per day, that's 2.78 tons per minute, which is quite fast.

The oil production base has four oil storage tanks, each with a volume of 10000 cubic meters. The oil production base produces light crude oil, which is about 0.85 tons per cubic meter, or 8500 tons of crude oil, and can store a total of 3.4 tons.

Tang Wen roughly calculated that this land of about 0.8 square kilometers could bring in 8 million yuan in revenue per year!
As long as you load the oil from the tankers into the tankers, you'll get green dollars!
Not only does it completely solve the problem of building ships with silver coins, but it also makes oil free from now on!
The crude oil is first distilled to produce gasoline and diesel, and the remaining heavy oil is then separated and refined to produce asphalt. The remaining heavy oil can then be directly used for burning on warships.

If you partner with any refinery, you might even get free heavy oil.

Tang Wen was so happy he almost fainted, then suddenly realized something:
How to transport the oil out?

It's definitely not feasible to simply send an oil tanker from the island to the mainland; it would quickly attract the attention of those with ulterior motives and expose the operation. Geijin doesn't yet have the capability to escort such a long oil route.

Tang Wen thought of the system resources, which could directly absorb oil.

However, he rejected the idea as soon as it came to mind, since all resources except silver coins could only be exchanged in one direction and could not be realized.

Oil can be used as a systemic resource and as a shipbuilding material, but... how much is consumed in pure shipbuilding? It's a drop in the ocean!

He tried to find other ways, but it seemed that the only options were to keep it in the system or extract it from the tank.

Tang Wen's smile froze.

If shipping by ship is absolutely necessary, the small islands in the South Pacific will face countless difficulties and obstacles on their way to China, and they will likely be sanctioned within 72 hours, since the idea of ​​occupying islands and becoming a kingdom is already outdated.

He had no doubt that the US knew the day after tomorrow that the US Navy's aircraft carrier would arrive quickly and easily wipe out his paper-thin navy with hundreds of thousands of tons of tonnage.

I wonder what it will be like once we enter the battle. According to the rules of World of Warships, the greater the difference in strength between the enemy and ourselves, the richer the rewards.

Even though his side suffered almost total losses and achieved no results in the last epoch-making operation in the Gulf of Aden, he still gained very satisfactory benefits.

This audacious idea only flashed through Tang Wen's mind for a few seconds before being extinguished. If he did that, he might really have to go to Antarctica to cosplay as Lao Xi.

So, he just wasted hundreds of thousands of silver coins? Twenty or thirty million RMB?

It's worse than killing someone to have so much oil that can't be transported out.

The system's buildings can also be sold and demolished, but only at half price. Tang Wen thought about it and decided against it, thinking that maybe they could open up a Pacific shipping route in the future.

Although it was all for naught, at least the mechanism for naval base missions was established, and the next step is to replicate it at Reed Bank.

The South Pacific route cannot be maintained, but even if he doesn't operate the Spratly Islands route, the navy will do everything in its power to escort it.

……

After disembarking from the bridge of the Twin Moon, Tang Wen took a jeep directly back to his residence in Da Wan Town.

This used to be a detached house built by a small business owner after he made his fortune. Later, it was left vacant because he was imprisoned for fraud. He bought it for a small amount of money, made some minor renovations, and moved in.

Although it looked very rustic to Tang Wen, it was spacious enough to be considered a small villa.

Two Buicks and a BMW were parked in the small courtyard behind the gate, symbolizing the local tycoon's status.

As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, the security door creaked open, and Jian Qiao stood inside looking at him, her face expressionless.

However, Tang Wen burst out laughing after seeing her outfit.

It turns out that although her ship girl outfit was a bit sexy for this era, at least her aesthetic sense was very good.

Now, the ship girl is wearing the most fashionable yellow belted dress and... black stockings, paired with a pair of flat plastic sandals.

No doubt about it, black stockings are indeed a very popular fashion item right now.

But the yellow dress paired with cheap-looking black stockings and those dreaded flat sandals created an impact second only to Faye Wong's legendary red and green duet at the Spring Festival Gala that year. Hu Li even took her to get her hair permed, turning her originally neat ponytail into flowing waves.

In short, the ship girl who was otherworldly when we last met her has now become a hairdresser working on the coast in the 90s.

She's the kind of woman who, once she leaves the Greater Bay Area or even Goose City, would at least make men turn their heads to look at her every step of the way.

If it weren't for her beauty and figure, which saved her from being too "rustic".

Tang Wen was initially worried that she wouldn't be able to integrate into modern society, but now he sees that although she's a bit unsophisticated, she actually blends in better with the environment.

Jane realized that Tang Wen was laughing at her, and quickly understood that it was because her clothes might not look good, so she looked at him pitifully and said:

"Commander, may I change back into my own clothes?"

"No, this is perfect. Your outfit isn't really suitable for going out," Tang Wen replied with a smile.

However, the ship girl clearly didn't like her current outfit either, and just stared at him without saying a word.

"Okay, just wear the ones Hu Li bought for you when you go out."

As soon as he finished speaking, a black flash appeared before Tang Wen's eyes, and Jane returned to her default paint job in the blink of an eye, looking much more relaxed.

Tang Wen felt a little awkward being alone with a woman indoors for the first time. After arranging a room for the ship girl, he hid in his study and continued browsing the BBS.

Through his constant requests, Song Nan gradually improved the various functions of the BBS. The current DaWang BBS is already transforming into the future Tieba, although the design and smoothness are much worse, but the core functions have emerged.

Which is the king of beasts, the lion or the tiger?

Here it comes! The classic animal fight post from the Animal Forum. Tang Wen clicked in and saw two opposing groups of netizens arguing fiercely, providing evidence and refuting each other's opinions. The post was even more popular than the reorganized Military Forum.

The second most popular post is:

If an M1A1 tank traveled back to the Cretaceous period, could it defeat a Tyrannosaurus Rex?

They're back, they're all back! Tang Wen found his old rhythm when he was online and happily started surfing the internet.

……

"Snapped!"

Not far from Tang Wen's small villa, on the second floor of a newly opened restaurant, a middle-aged man was slamming his fist on the table in anguish.

It's outrageous! What a fine patriotic young man! How did he end up falling for those foreign devils?

Although that foreign girl is indeed beautiful, one should be careful about saying "not of our kind"!
In the past, although many foreigners came to the Greater Bay Area, they were all men and almost always stayed in the port. This foreign woman was the only exception.

According to inside intelligence, the foreign woman staying by Tang Wen's side must be to teach him to speak a foreign language!
He looked at his subordinates with a mixture of disappointment and disbelief, and said incredulously:

"Didn't Xiaoqin sneak in to become a clerk? He barely even glanced at you, since you're so pretty?"

The young woman named Xiaoqin immediately retorted, feeling wronged:

"He's considered diligent if he comes to the office building once a month; we hardly ever see him."

Besides, Director, didn't you say you'd try to matchmake Yan Jian's daughter? I didn't interfere with the operation.

"..."

The middle-aged man swore, which made him even more frustrated.

The investigation into Tang Wen proved far more difficult than he had anticipated, but he did gain a considerable amount of other valuable insights.

Thanks to the heightened sensitivity towards foreigners these days, several agents who had infiltrated were apprehended before they could even take action, earning them several commendable achievements.
