The Magician of Clow

Chapter 1291 Energy Industry - Essenk Forme Group

Located in the southernmost part of the United States, facing the Gulf of Mexico to the east, it ranks second in area among the fifty states in the United States, second only to the enclave of Alaska.

--Texas.

I believe you have heard the name even if you don’t know it, and if you know something about the name besides poker,

Then you will definitely know the well-known features of this land like the label.

The land is sparsely populated, the folk customs are simple, specialty steaks and BBQ, and almost every family is equipped with a shotgun. In the summer of six months a year, there are girls wearing hot pants everywhere.
Oh, and there is no grilled chicken, this meme is too old and boring.

Just like Los Angeles has no cars and no legs, you can imagine the style of painting here when you hear the vast land and sparse population. It is definitely not a modern city with tall buildings like San Francisco.

Most of them are sparsely distributed low-rise buildings, with a feeling of wilderness in a big village and town, with vast wilderness, grassland, farmland and farms everywhere.

So you will find that the cars here are basically pickups,

Really, people here really like to drive pickups, and even have that subtle chain of contempt,
Everyone thinks that sissies drive cars, but real men should drive pickups!

Also, unlike the free and open Northeast, here is traditionally conservative and believes in Christianity. Outside of a big city like Austin, you can really feel the enthusiasm of the people.

For example, if you ask someone in a steak shop for help, he will really take you back, drive his pickup truck, and the simple folk customs are not empty words.

Of course, to a certain extent, this simplicity is equated with toughness, which may also be due to the high rate of gun ownership and the straightforwardness of everyone.

Give a chestnut,

You told people on the Internet that the teamfight ended because someone came into your backyard, and you went out with your armed dad and shot him, and they might say you're a fucking jerk ,

But if you say that your home is in Texas, then they may say that is the case, then there is no way
Anyway, for various reasons,
People in other states always have some stereotypes about this place, such as muscles, farmers, cowboys,
How should I put it, it reminds me subtly that in China, there are always many people who think that in a certain large province in the north, people there will ride horses and shoot arrows and live in yurts.
But as long as you come once in person, this prejudice will dissipate.

Especially in the summer background of the golden farmland, see the sexy slender girl in wheat-colored hot pants jumping out from the back of the pickup truck.
Ahem, I'm sorry, I wanted to introduce a few casually, but I didn't realize it was too much.
Back to the topic, although it gives people a feeling of farmland towns, Texas is quite developed economically. It and California are the two richest states in the United States.
Squeeze it out and talk about GDP alone is stronger than Australia.

Needless to say, the super-developed agriculture born of a large area of ​​land, because the price, the cost of living, and most importantly, the tax rate is relatively low. There are more than fifty top 500 companies located here.
Based on strong industrial development, there are two highly developed industries in Texas, one is the world-famous aerospace in Houston Space Center,
And the other is - energy.

Gasoline is very cheap, although it is obviously insufficient to prepare for extreme weather, but because of its independent grid, electricity is also very cheap, providing one-fifth of oil production,
Texas has always been the energy heart of the United States.

Among the many energy-related industries here, mining agreements have been reached in more than 180 countries or regions, including fuel, energy supply, petrochemical and even nuclear power plants.
The outright biggest giant in the energy industry, Essencoforme Group, is here!
Continental North America, Irvine, Texas,

Just like a city like Texas, there is no density of high-rise buildings covering the sky, and most of the low-rise buildings are sparsely gathered together.
The road is wide and there are many pickup trucks, and you can see the farmland on the edge of the city when driving on it.

After getting off the plane, sitting in the customary extended Rolls Royce with his black eyes open, Fangran looked down at a tall building in front of him from a high altitude.

"Is that the energy industry of Fisseld?"

"That's right, that's the headquarters building of the Essencoforme Group, the energy industry controlled by Fisseld."

Sitting next to him as usual, after all, she wasn't dressed in a showy way, and she was dressed in a formal attire that exuded indifference and majesty. Adeline replied affirmatively,

"Is this the only one you have opened in the energy field?"

Thinking of the many industries in the medical field led by the two upstream giants Shengqiang and Littonmei, Fangran was a little surprised that the rich and powerful Fisld had only one company in the energy field.

"To be precise, it's not just this one, and it's enough to open this one."

After correcting the deviation in Fangran's words, Adeline looked at the approaching building and explained calmly:
"It's not like you think, young master, to set up a company for production, smelting, transportation and sales. In the energy field, we have adopted an integrated business model,"

"By merging similar companies horizontally, while expanding functions vertically along the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, we will continue to use scale effects to reduce marginal costs."

Uh. In short, you have taken care of everything from production to sales, right?
Anyway, I have been the CEO for more than a week, and I can still roughly understand what she is talking about.
Fangran couldn't help but blushed for a second, marveling at the fact that the group is an entire industrial chain of an industry, without relying on the independent strength of any other company.

"Speaking of which, I was dragged into the sea by you as soon as I came up, before I had time to ask,"

As if remembering something, Fangran looked away and asked Adeline:

"What the hell does an energy company do? Are you responsible for generating electricity and heating?"

He suddenly discovered that the energy field and energy companies just sound tall, but what exactly do they do?

He really had no idea at all.

"The so-called energy company is a commercial company that develops and effectively utilizes 'energy', which determines the national economy and national development,"

Looking at Fangran's expression of understanding and seemingly not understanding, knowing that this level of generalization is completely useless to him as a pure white, Adeline understood his straightforward explanation very well:

"Specifically, it is engaged in the exploration, exploitation, and transportation of primary energy such as oil, coal, and natural gas, and processing it into secondary energy for various purposes for sale to earn profits,"

"These uses also include the power generation and heating you mentioned, young master. In addition, we also involve new energy sources such as wind energy and solar energy,"

"In short, it is to operate everything related to energy."

Listening to Adeline's final simple and rough summary, Fangran suddenly nodded thoughtfully:

"That's why you need the oil we brought back so urgently?"

"To be precise, it is the crude oil on the three tankers that you escorted back, young master."

Um. Aren’t these two the same thing?

"Petroleum is the general term for natural gas, man-made petroleum and its refined products. Crude oil is untreated, sulfur-separated, and purified petroleum directly extracted from the ground or seabed."

There is no need to hear any questions, Adeline explained calmly with a snowy face,
Is it like this.
Feeling that he had gained new knowledge in a field he had never touched before, Fangran looked at her curiously and asked:

"What can that batch of crude oil do?"

　I really want to escape, let’s write half of it first, I really can’t finish it, if I have a strong liver today, there is a high probability that I will be disgusted and don’t want to write it tomorrow. Let’s popularize the science in the plot, alas, you don’t know this volume, thinking about how to connect these real things with the main plot, how many brain cells did I die
