Chapter 1108 Energy Industry—Essenkofme Group (Part 2)

"Are you asking about the production chain and uses of crude oil?"

"Yep."

Extremely professional, Adeline helped Fangran pinpoint what he was really curious about. Adeline began to explain in a calm voice:

"The processing of crude oil in the petrochemical industry is generally divided into two parts - refining and chemical industry,"

"By focusing on different refining processes, crude oil is generally processed into six categories of petroleum products, including petroleum fuel, petroleum solvents and chemical raw materials, lubricants, paraffin, petroleum asphalt, and petroleum coke,"

She also has an incomparable knowledge of professional knowledge in the energy field, and her simple descriptions are as clear as a treasure trove.

"Petroleum fuels are gasoline, diesel, kerosene used in transportation, and fuel oil used in industrial equipment; solvents and light oils such as naphtha are used in the chemical industry; lubricants such as lubricants and machine oils are used in all machinery;"

"Paraffin wax is mainly used for food and drug packaging, metal rust prevention and printing; asphalt is the most common waterproof and anti-corrosion material in civil engineering and is mostly used for high-speed paving, while petroleum coke is used for power generation, smelting and graphite products based on sulfur content."

Two major parts, six products, industrial fuels, chemical raw materials, all machinery, food and drug packaging...

After listening to a series of professional knowledge, Fangran was a little unable to remember it, but before he could digest it, he heard Adeline continue to explain,

"The chemical industry is to conduct hydrocarbon cracking and catalytic reforming of raw oils produced from oil refining, mainly naphtha and other raw oils, to obtain olefins mainly ethylene and propylene and aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, xylene... "

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Listening to her getting more and more serious, Fangran, who was already unable to react, quickly interrupted. Somewhat dizzy, he pressed his forehead and sighed:

"Are these all the business scope of your energy company?"

"This is just petrochemical engineering involving crude oil. We also process coal and natural gas. Do you need me to explain to you by the way?"

"No..."

In response to Adeline's thoughtful inquiry, Fangran declined with a sigh of relief. Fangran had clearly understood two things from what she just said.

One is that although there is only one company in the energy field, it really feels how huge it is internally.

And the other one is...

"Can the crude oil on those ships do so many things..."

In the energy industry, excluding professional occupations, it is estimated that most people do not understand this industry. It can be a perfect representative of such people. With Fangran’s common sense,

He only knew that fuels such as gasoline came from petroleum, but he really never cared about how lubricating oil and asphalt, which he often saw in life, came from.

But even so, Fangran can still understand the uses Adeline said, fuel, lubricant...each item involves a very broad direction,

Not to mention the names that made him dream back to high school chemistry. Although the knowledge was returned to the teacher, he still knew that it was related to that kind of 'cornerstone' compound.

How wide will the range of uses become...

"In the chemical plants at the most downstream of the industry, there are more than a dozen products processed from ethylene alone, including plastics, fibers, and rubber...not to mention various alcohols, ketones, aldehydes, acids, and rings produced from olefins. Oxygen compounds,"

"I'm sorry, even I can't list them all to the young master,"

With a snow-white and cold face, Adeline lowered her eyes and said:

"But it's like the fuel, tires, paint, and oil in the engine of this car, the trash cans and plastic bags on the roadside just now, the road itself, and the pesticides and fertilizers sprayed on the farmland in the distance,"

Then he raised his gaze and looked at Fangran seriously with those calm eyes.

"Even part of the clothes you are wearing, Master,"

"Most of the things you can see in the real world in this era are more or less products derived from crude oil after going through several or even dozens of processes."

At this moment, he was slightly lost in thought listening to her words. Fangran subconsciously looked down at the suit he was wearing.

"It is difficult to count how many industries are involved. It can only be said that it is the blood and power of modern industry. Even the economic lifeline is a strategic deployment, mixed with political overtones. The entire national economy is based on it,"

"Master, do you now understand what the energy industry is about?"

Finally, after listening to the inquiry from the beautiful and cold figure in front of me, I remained silent for a few seconds before I slowly exhaled and responded softly.

"Understood..."

It is not just one industry, nor is it related to several industries, but is closely related to almost all industries in the world. After talking with Adeline,

Fangran finally understood what kind of field he was going to be exposed to this time.

Most things in real society...

Looking out the car window again in ecstasy at the headquarters building of Essenkfume, Fangran seemed to vaguely understand from Adeline's words just now,

Why did Veronica say that maybe in this incident, she could figure out the reason for that "uncertainty".

Just how to figure it out?

Fangran still had no clue.

Ha...forget it, I'll think about this later, now it's better...

In the car, his dark eyes dissipated, and Fangran looked at the headquarters building that was already in front of him.

...

At the same time, the Essenkofme Building,

From mining sites in overseas countries to branches responsible for a certain area, the levels of rights are progressively increased. Transportation, energy supply... more than a dozen large departments finally converged into a giant headquarters.

It has nearly 100,000 employees and a market value of more than 400 billion US dollars.

There are many components, the system is complex, and there are too many levels above the head to see the top. For the grassroots employees working in it, this is a business kingdom.

At this moment, the top management in this 'kingdom' is going through a scene similar to that of the Cosi Group.

The key executives who hold important positions in this huge energy group and are looked up to by many people below are preparing for the meeting with great nervousness.

They can't relax!

In just one day, he solved the information security risks of Kesi Group, and then completely resolved the crisis in the medical field. He did this just after taking office.

The CEO who is said to be too young to be normal is coming!

Of course, if that were the case, they would only feel that, as some veterans said, a new legend had appeared in the Fiseld Empire, and they were full of wonder and admiration for him.

But the problem is that this "legend" is too cruel...

Cos Group also has department representatives who attended the meeting. Terrifying rumors that the CEO fired people without any reason have long been spread.

It took a lot of hard work to climb to this position in Essenkfume, and the senior officials who were afraid of being kicked out were all panicking.

At this moment, in the president's office, one of the board members represents the chairman, the man who is the pillar of the empire in Fiseld's energy field.

Andre's majestic figure suddenly stood up, slapped his hand on the big desk and shouted in disbelief:

"What!!?"

"Sir, I know this is hard to accept...but..."

The secretary standing in front of him spoke with difficulty with a look of pressure on his face.

"Now that the executive officer and the administrative officer are almost here, you tell me that something like this happened..."

The angry shouts stopped. Andre suppressed his emotions. Sitting in this position, he had to stay rational no matter what the situation. This kind of gaffe was something he shouldn't be like.

Immediately showing his courage in managing this huge enterprise, his expression returned to calm, as if the anxiety just now was an act, and he walked out quickly:

"First come with me to pick them up and completely block this matter. No one, including the company's senior management and the board of directors, can know about it."

After nodding solemnly, he quickly followed his footsteps, followed closely by several core executives who had been waiting. Then, there were no big shots in the group who appeared at the same time.

The moment I arrived at the hall, I saw two figures appearing at the door.

The young man with black hair and an imposing manner in a suit, and the administrator next to him who exuded majesty despite his cold and stunning beauty,

"Nice to meet you, young Mr. Executive, and Madam Executive,"

The first time he saw the two of them, he was no longer as young as the figure who shocked him at the imperial ceremony that night. Andre quickly walked out of the queue and stepped forward to shake hands.

Looking at the man in his forties with white hair in front of him, Fangran nodded slightly in greeting.

Then just following the direction he led,

"I'm sorry to speak so abruptly on such an occasion when we just met, but my rationality tells me that no matter what, I should let you two know as soon as possible,"

Fangran suddenly heard Andre next to him say this, and then said in a low and solemn voice that only three people could hear:

"Just last night, the headquarters building was invaded by unknown persons, and a batch of our important documents were stolen."
