Rebirth: I am in Jin-Cha-Ji

It reached 1960 million tons in 500.

This is a very good result. Wei Hongjun continued, "Comrade Huang Jiqing, in addition to being responsible for the Liaohe Oilfield, you have also been in charge of exploration work in the Songliao area for the past two years. How is the specific situation?"

Huang Jiqing became excited when talking about this.

He said to Wei Hongjun, "Vice Premier Wei, although we haven't conducted large-scale exploration of the Songliao Oilfield in the past two years, we have been continuously exploring the field in small-scale campaigns. I can guarantee that the Songliao Oilfield is much larger than we imagined. The reserves of the Songliao Oilfield are absolutely astonishing."

Huang Jiqing was very excited.

Because in the past two years, large-scale exploration has been carried out in the Songliao Oilfield.

An increasing number of wells are discovering industrial oil and gas.

Huang Jiqing is an oil geologist. After looking at the situation and data reported by Songliao Oilfield and personally checking it out, Huang Jiqing has determined that Songliao Oilfield is an unprecedentedly large oilfield.

Huang Jiqing was really excited.

Because the country needs a real large oil field.

Wei Hongjun nodded and said, "Did Comrade Yu Qiuli tell you that the Ministry of Petroleum has been preparing to slowly develop the Songliao Oilfield since 1955?"

"I told you."

"What do you think?"

Lei Jiabin glanced at Huang Jiqing and said to Wei Hongjun, "Then I'll tell you the truth."

"Go ahead. I just want to hear what you really think."

“The large-scale development of Songliao Oilfield is not impossible, because the preliminary work

Well done. After years of continuous exploration, we have a general understanding of the situation of the North Shigading T Society. However, the Songliao Oilfield is a large oilfield.

According to our idea, Songliao Oil should sell enough equipment at once,

We also need to build a matching refinery. We have calculated that the first batch of workers entering the Songliao oilfield development will not be less than 40,000.

We can’t spare so many people from our Liaohe Oilfield alone.”

Wei Hongjun thought for a moment and said, "How many people can your oilfield mobilize?" "Twenty thousand at most. If too many people are mobilized, it will affect the further development of the Liaohe Oilfield."

"You mean, if we want to launch a major campaign against the Songliao Oilfield, we need to mobilize 20,000 people from various systems?"

"Yes."

Twenty thousand people is not a small number.

Wei Hongjun suddenly thought of something and asked, "How about I add two petroleum engineers for you?"

"Old leader, the best way is to recruit experienced people from various oil fields.

Now we are more familiar with the situation of Songliao Oilfield than Mu, so we can directly enter the large-scale construction.

If the manpower and material resources are sufficient, the Songliao Oilfield will be able to produce crude oil for the country within a year. So since we are going to build it, we need an experienced team."

"Old Lei, can we have 1956 people go in first? In , I'll draw more people from various colleges, research labs, and oil fields to continue supporting you."

"It's better to delay it for a year. Give the Liaohe Oilfield another year, and by then we'll have three petroleum engineers. Furthermore, our Liaohe Oilfield's Petroleum School is also intensively training technical personnel, and we'll be able to recruit one to two thousand students in 1956. Then we can transfer a few thousand people from other departments of the oil system. Of course, if the central government can mobilize more personnel for the large-scale development of the Songliao Oilfield, that would be even better. It would be best if they could send us specialized infrastructure engineering troops, who could help us establish a base while we build the oilfield."

"Drag it on for a year?"

"Yes."

Lei Jiabin nodded.

Huang Jiqing, who was standing beside him, also said, "Vice Premier Wei, I also support General Lei's opinion. We already have a rough plan for the development of the Songliao Oilfield. The construction of the Songliao Oilfield should be done after sufficient preparations are made and a decisive battle is launched."

Wei Hongjun thought for a moment and said, "You, the Liaohe Oilfield Command, are experienced. If you have any objections to the Central Committee's plan, then you should draft a plan and I and other comrades will study it."

"Yes."

Lei Jiabin paused and said, "Old leader, if we postpone the development of the Songliao Oilfield by a year, we will be more fully prepared. And I can guarantee that if we develop the Songliao Oilfield by the end of 1955 or 1956, we will be able to produce crude oil for the country in 1956."

"Ah."

Liaohe Oilfield is the main force in the development of Songliao Oilfield.

Now that Lei Jiabin and Huang Jiqing have said so, Wei Hongjun also has to consider the plan of large-scale development of Songliao Oilfield next year.

"Old boss, let's eat first. I know you like fish, so I bought some specially. Don't get me wrong, I spent my own salary, not the oil field funds."

"No, let's go to the cafeteria. Save the fish for your child."

Wei Hongjun waved his hand.

Wei Hongjun's meals on business trips were subsidized and priced accordingly. Lei Jiabin had worked with Wei Hongjun for many years and knew his temper, so he didn't force it. Everyone went to the cafeteria to eat.

However, just as Wei Hongjun was about to eat, Yu Qiuli called the Liaohe Oilfield.

"Old Yu, why are the calls coming here?"

"Old Wei, good news. The Qinghai Petroleum Exploration Bureau has reportedly struck industrial oil and gas in the Qaidam Basin. The Northwest Petroleum Administration has requested permission to build an oil field there."

Wei Hongjun understood that this was the discovery of the Qinghai oil field.

If the Qinghai Oilfield were to be developed, the Yumen Oilfield would have to fully support Qinghai, leaving the Songliao Oilfield behind. So, Wei Hongjun said, "Old Yu, let's do this. Let's get the Northwest Petroleum Administration ready. After I return, we'll discuss this. If the Qinghai Oilfield is to be developed, some of the Ministry of Petroleum's plans will need to be adjusted."

"it is good."

943 Active British businessmen

After inspecting the Liaohe Oilfield Services, Wei Hongjun visited some local cooperatives and the four-H Yang two-group situation. People are very adaptable, or people are really a smart group.

Family.

Wei Hongjun felt this way especially after seeing Yuan Liangzhou and the 88 Factory.

The Soviet Union made money from trade.

In order to make money, many cooperatives have adopted this art.

Some cooperatives don't have the capacity to take on this challenge; they can't make money from the cooperative. Rural cooperatives often go to the two continents to distribute goods, and although there are transportation companies, it's not easy to set up a proper cooperative.

So some cooperatives specialize in transportation.

They mobilized all the cattle, horses, and mules in the cooperative, and Wang Yongzhao purchased horses and mules from Hulunbuir. This was not organized by Qi Fu, but they discovered the business opportunity and organized themselves.

What about arable land?

A living person could die from urination. They rented tractors from a nearby state-owned farm to help, and the entire cooperative, young and old, men and women, stepped up. Many cooperatives here even began to collaborate spontaneously.

They wanted to unite and pool their money to buy some second-hand tractors from the Soviet Union so that they could farm the land together.

Wei Hongjun strongly supports this point. This is rural accumulation.

Chinese people are just so smart.

What is division of labor and cooperation in large-scale production? This is it. Several or even a dozen cooperatives come together, with a clear division of labor, and everyone makes money together.

It’s the same as in Guangdong.

Even with the temptation of making money, various technical schools, literacy schools, and even Russian language schools have been opened here and are developing in full swing.

Overall, trade with the Soviet Union was going well.

China now needs to do business with the Soviet Union and start to ease the pressure of loans and importing machinery and equipment. In 1947, the Prime Minister signed a loan agreement with the Soviet Union, and China had to repay the money starting in 1955.

China owed the Soviet Union a substantial amount of money. While the interest rates were low, the loans were substantial. China currently owed the Soviet Union over 100 billion rubles, or nearly billion yuan. Therefore, the annual repayments were substantial.

Because now the Ministry of Foreign Trade, the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Rural Work strongly support commercial cooperation with the Soviet Union in this regard.

Wei Hongjun carefully inspected the development of the agricultural cooperatives here, and then visited several state-owned farms in Northeast China.

Of course it's not all good things.

There are many problems with these state-owned farms in Northeast China.

After inspecting state farms in Northeast China, Wei Hongjun also visited state farms in Hebei and Inner Mongolia. The state farms in Hebei and Inner Mongolia had just as many problems as those in Northeast China, and Wei Hongjun recorded all the problems he found.

I will solve these problems after returning to Beijing.

Twenty days later, Wei Hongjun returned to Beijing and began to sort out this

Then he discussed with Li Xuefeng, Yu Qiuli and others the issue of the 1955 oil battle.

The original plan was to launch the Songliao Oilfield Campaign in 1955.

However, Lei Jiabin and his colleagues at the Liaohe Oilfield opposed the plan. Meanwhile, the Northwest Petroleum Administration Bureau had discovered industrial oil and gas in the Qaidam Basin and was planning to construct an oilfield there. Therefore, it was difficult to quickly allocate personnel for the Songliao Oilfield construction.

So after several people discussed it, they finally decided to change the original plan.

Development of the Songliao Oilfield resumed in 1955, but not on a regular basis. Instead, infrastructure engineering troops were deployed to carry out construction work within the field. Their goal was to pre-emptively build living quarters for the future large-scale troops stationed there. This required coordination by Wei Hongjun.

The Military Commission is increasingly strengthening its disarmament efforts.

It was not difficult to allocate several divisions to participate in the construction of Songliao Oilfield. When Wei Hongjun was busy coordinating the entry of disarmament troops into Songliao Oilfield, Minister of Foreign Trade Ye Jizhuang and Minister of Commerce Yao Yilin found Wei Hongjun.

Wei Hongjun was quite surprised.

Although Wei Hongjun was familiar with them, they were all from ministries and commissions under the charge of Mao Zemin.

Normally, Mao Zemin would directly contact Wei Hongjun when there was something going on. Although Wei Hongjun and Mao Zemin had a good personal relationship, Wei Hongjun didn't want to get involved in the ministries and commissions under Mao Zemin's charge.

"We're just here to act as a matchmaker." "Accompanying?"

"Yes. Do you remember Jack Perry, who accompanied Attlee on his last visit to China?"

"Of course." Wei Hongjun nodded.

Jack Perry currently serves as a bridge between China and Britain. His trading company is currently the most active in China. British businessmen who want to do business with China always consult Jack Perry first.

Because he was considered the British businessman with the best relationship with the Chinese government, Jack Perry would be informed of many changes in Chinese domestic policies. Not only British businessmen, but even the British government sometimes needed to get some information from Jack Perry.

The Chairman called Jack Perry an "old friend," so how could Wei Hongjun not know him? Ye Jizhuang said, "Jack Perry just contacted us. He asked if we've been planning to import fertilizer plant machinery and equipment."

"Oh?"

Wei Hongjun became excited.

Whether negotiating with Britain, the United States, or later France, China has shown a strong interest in fertilizer plants. China's attitude is simple: it must increase grain production to feed hundreds of millions of people.

But previous negotiations have never been successful.

During the Geneva Conference, negotiations between China and the UK went very smoothly. Britain announced it would relax trade restrictions on China, and things began to move in this direction. Even during the Geneva Conference, some British businessmen expressed their willingness to export some machinery and equipment parts to China.

After the news came, Wei Hongjun had already begun discussing with Li Fuchun, Bo Shuchun and others the possibility of China building its own fertilizer plant.

Although China's industrial base is weak, it is still able to develop basic equipment for fertilizer plants. However, some key equipment cannot be produced by China itself. However, British businessmen have hinted that they can provide these key equipment.
