In the afternoon of the same day, Zhao Meng also learned the news that Yang Jing had “made a small amount of money”. Of course, when Zhao Meng heard the news, his expression was almost the same as Lin Dan.

As he drove along the famous highway from San Francisco to Los Angeles, Lin Dan explained Zhao Meng's mood in one sentence.

"Damn guy! Enviable, jealous guy! This is the last word Uncle Zhao said." Lin Dan said to Yang Jing, learning Zhao Meng's tone as he passed the car in front of him and refueled. .

Sitting in the co-pilot seat, Yang Jing laughed loudly, "Unexpectedly, even Uncle Zhao couldn't keep his breath. Should I be proud, or should I be proud?"

Lin Dan rolled his eyes, and passed another car with slurs in his mouth.

"Wow, Xiaolinzi, you'd better slow down, we want it..." Xiaolinzi's name made Lin Dan roll his eyes again, but his speed slowed down.

Yang Jing squinted slightly, and from the rearview mirror, he clearly saw that the car driven by Chris and John was closely behind. Behind Chris and John’s car, there was also a Chevrolet full-size SUV of the same model. Sitting in the car were the other two newly hired bodyguards.

Before Yang Jing's net worth was only 30 million U.S. dollars, he already had two bodyguards, Chris and John. Now he has become an out-and-out billionaire. It makes sense to add two more bodyguards. middle.

Originally, Yang Jing didn’t want to engage in such a big battle, but Zhao Meng said nothing. In Zhao Meng’s words: “You are now a billionaire with a net worth of over 100 million. Even if you look at the entire United States, you can There are not many people with money, so you must pay attention to your own safety. This is the United States, not China. With your current wealth, I don’t think there are too few four bodyguards."

Yang Jing thought that it was the same, and agreed.

In Zhao Meng's words, Los Angeles is not San Francisco, and the Chinese are not popular in Los Angeles. Moreover, Chinese people usually carry cash when they go out. This is something that the entire United States knows. Therefore, in big cities such as Los Angeles and New York, Chinese people have always been the main targets of the **** robbers.

The most important thing is that most of the robbers are drug addicts. It would be better for them to avoid addiction when committing crimes. If they happen to catch up with the addiction, it is easy to cause more harm to the victim.

Those addicts really don't care about the addiction. If Yang Jing encounters such a person, he must have bodyguards to protect him, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable.

Therefore, when Yang Jing and Lin Dan drove to Los Angeles the next day, Chris and John introduced their partners in the same team in the Titan organization.

When Chris and John were organizing the Titans, there was an operation team. Clark McCann was the team's fire supporter. He was big and thick. Wearing a black suit and sunglasses, he was the standard bodyguard in the movie. Another guy is George Bruce, who is also a very sturdy man.

With the participation of these two, Yang Jing's itinerary in the United States will become safer. Four people can form two teams, divided into groups to protect Yang Jing 24 hours a day.

The famous highway is 4o miles long, connecting Los Angeles and San Francisco at the north and south ends, and is known as the most beautiful highway in the United States.

Yang Jing and the others left San Francisco at 9 o'clock in the morning. At noon, they had lunch at the residential communities outside the Vandenberg Air Force Base, the largest air force base on the west coast of the United States. It is a pity that Vandenberg Air Force Base does not allow tourists to enter, otherwise Yang Jing will return it. I really want to visit this famous air force base.

But standing in the distance, you can see the constantly rising and falling fighters, as if the base is undergoing some training mission, and the fighters take off and land more frequently.

"Bss, do you see these two fighters that have just taken off? That is the famous f22 Raptor fighter. It is currently the most advanced fighter in the world and the most powerful fighter. The two fighter units have become a standard two-aircraft formation. , It should be routine offshore patrol training.” Clark McCann, the five-big and three-thick behind him, said very affirmatively.

Before this brawny joined, Chris introduced Clark McCann. This guy does not look at his height, and he also serves as a fire supporter in the team. But when it comes to military combat capabilities, Clark does Is the best in the team and even the entire Titan organization. Don't look at this guy's big head, but this guy can play from the f22 Raptor to the Los Angeles-class offensive nuclear submarine, and he can play very well.

Yang Jing put down the binoculars and turned to ask Clark, "Clark, do you know these things?"

Clark nodded, and George Bruce next to him smiled and said: "Before he retired, Clark was an elite of the sea1 (Sea Leopards). He had contact with many high-end weapons of the US military. When he was on mission in Afghanistan, He once drove an F22 to conduct a precise aerial strike against a terrorist base..."

Clark seemed reluctant to mention the previous events, smiled and waved his hand to stop his friend's explanation, appearing very humble.

"Wow!" Yang Jing surprised Clark with a thumbing gesture. Although George did not finish, Yang Jing could understand the meaning behind these explanations, so he did not hesitate to give this new acquaintance. Mr. Bodyguard is a great appreciation.

"So, after we get to Los Angeles and finish the business, can we find a gun shop, and then we can shoot a few shots? Clark, you know that I am from China, and I have never touched a gun. I want you Taught me."

Clark smiled and said: "bss, just a gun shop is not enough. We need to find a gun shop with a shooting range. I know that there are several gun shops that have shooting ranges. If you want, I can take you there to play. ."

After the conversation, several people continued to drive on the road, but at this time Yang Jing's car was not Lin Dan. Clark took over the steering wheel controlled by Lin Dan and drove for Yang Jing and Lin Dan himself.

After four o'clock in the afternoon, they arrived in downtown Los Angeles in three cars.

In fact, Los Angeles is located in the Los Angeles Basin. The basin is surrounded by mountains on three sides and the sea on the other. Except for local hills, the ground is flat, with an average elevation of only 84 meters, and the highest point, Mount Elsie, is 548 meters high.

But just in this wide basin, it contains extremely rich oil resources. Even now, this huge basin is known as "half city, half oil field", which is enough to illustrate the rich oil resources of the Los Angeles Basin.

In fact, California has long been known for exposing rich oil seedlings on the surface—referring to the outcropping of oil in the earth’s crust on the ground, which is one of the important signs of searching for oil deposits—and the local Indian natives have always used this. Do business.

In the 1850s, some people did special research on the oil seedlings in the Los Angeles Basin, but these people never connected the rich oil seedlings on the surface with the huge underground oil reservoirs. Until more than two decades later, the first commercial oil well in the Los Angeles Basin was drilled in Pico in the northern part of the Los Angeles Basin.

The successful drilling of this oil well gave the survey and drilling of commercial oil wells in the Los Angeles Basin a golden rule, that is, never drill without oil seedlings!

In fact, in the early survey process, this golden rule really played a great role. The first large oil field in the Los Angeles Basin, the famous Los Angeles City oil field, followed this golden rule in 892.

In 1989, Los Angeles, with a total population of only 50,000, also caused a large number of oil workers to come to this small city because of the presence of this oil field, which played an incalculable role in promoting future exhibitions in Los Angeles.

As if San Francisco was built because of the gold mine, Los Angeles actually thrived because of oil.

With the emergence of the Los Angeles City oil field, more capital is rapidly shifting from the east coast to the west coast. The economic giants represented by the Rockefeller family have made enough money from California oil.

In the three years from now to 895 in the Los Angeles City Oilfield, the daily output of the 300 oil wells in the oilfield increased to 792,000 barrels, which attracted a lot of money to Los Angeles.

With the help of huge funds, people discovered the Midwestern Sett oil field with reserves of 250 million tons in 894 and the Kern River oil field with reserves of 850,000 tons in 899.

The emergence of these oil fields further stimulated the influx of funds and also increased the exhibition in Los Angeles.

In the first two decades of the twentieth century, huge amounts of funds and a large number of manpower have turned the entire Los Angeles Basin into a steel jungle full of oil derricks. The La Avenho oil field with reserves of 700 million tons, the Montebello oil field with reserves of 200 million tons, the Huntington Beach oil field with reserves of 500 million tons, and the Elkshire oil field with reserves of 800 million tons. Sri Lanka Oil Field...

And now the famous Los Angeles Long Beach was actually an oil field a hundred years ago, because there was the famous Signal Hill oil field!

Yang Jing once saw what Long Beach in Los Angeles was like in 937 in a black and white photo. If Yang Jing hadn't seen the black-and-white photo with his own eyes, he really couldn't believe what the picturesque Long Beach would look like 80 years ago.

Have you seen the scene of bean sprouts? That's right, Long Beach in 937 looks like bean sprouts in that black and white photo. It's just that what grows on the ground is not bean sprouts, but dense steel oil derricks as dense as bean sprouts.

Not only Long Beach, but Venice is the same. The dense forest-like steel oil derricks extend from the beach all the way inward. You can't see the beautiful scenery 80 years later.

It can be said that in that era, from Venice in the north to Huntington Beach in the south, almost all the coastline of Los Angeles was occupied by this dense oil derrick!

This is Los Angeles eighty years ago! A city completely occupied by oil derricks made of steel!

In fact, even now, in Los Angeles, from the city to the beach, and even on the four islands in San Pedro Bay, you can see kowtow pumping units and some old oil derricks everywhere. Of course, More are some camouflaged oil derricks. ..

What is even more surprising is that even after more than 80 years of exploitation, these old oil wells are still producing a steady stream of dark oil.

It can be said seriously that the old oil wells near Los Angeles have very, very potential. This is true for any oil merchant.

Yang Jing thought so before.

But there is always some gap between facts and ideas. When Yang Jing arrived in Los Angeles and inspected for a few days, he felt that his previous ideas seemed to be taken for granted.

Without him, although there are many old oil wells in downtown Los Angeles, and even many old oil wells have been closed for a long time, it is still very difficult to reopen those old oil wells here for exploitation.

Los Angeles was born because of oil. The kowtow pumping units that are still working can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys of the city. But also, with the continuous development of society, the people of Los Angeles are very concerned about these ubiquitous old oil wells. The degree of patience has almost reached a limit.

Many working oil wells are even in residential areas. When the oil machine is working, the noise generated by the surrounding residents is miserable, and people have been criticizing that the production of oil wells will cause a certain degree of pollution, so many people are now The oil wells that are opposed to downtown Los Angeles continue to work, and there are even proposals to block these working oil wells.

As for the secondary or even tertiary exploitation of old oil wells, it is even more strenuous.

In 2oo, in order to extract oil, the Saint James Oil Company in Los Angeles injected high-temperature steam into an oil well. This is a more common way of oil extraction, using steam to heat thick oil to make it flow for easy extraction.

However, things did not go as the company intended. According to the Los Angeles non-governmental organization "Land Use Interpretation Center", the pressure from deep underground causes viscous oil to seep to the ground, gushing out of sewers, basements and even highways, emitting "toxic gas."

The old oil well of St. James Oil Company is located on Hill Street in downtown Los Angeles. The relevant departments urgently closed the street and evacuated more than 30 residents around. It took several weeks to extract the oil that penetrated into the basement of the residence and resurface the road. .....

Because of this incident, Saint James Oil Company was sued in court.

The working oil well is still opposed by the residents. If you want to reopen an old oil well, wouldn't it be troublesome for yourself?

If the well was opened before the 1950s, even if you re-drill a well, there will be no one to manage it.

But now, the entire Los Angeles basin is occupied by the city, and there is almost no vacancy in the huge basin. How do you open a well?

This is the Greater Los Angeles area, the second largest metropolitan area in the United States after New York!

In such a prosperous metropolitan area, if you want to reopen old oil wells, the difficulty is definitely not ordinary. Now it’s not before. The old Los Angeles pointed to oil. Now people don’t expect this dark and smelly liquid. People have finance, people have movies, people have travel, and people have ways to make money, that kind of dark liquid. The oil that you care about is no longer popular here!

After several days of investigation, Yang Jing and Lin Dan came up with such a fact that people have to accept.

It's easy to find old oil wells in Los Angeles. There are a lot of old oil wells waiting for you. But if you want to open a well and re-mine ~lightnovelpub.net~ it's harder than going to the sky!

So after several video calls with Zhao Meng, who was far away in San Francisco, Yang Jing and Lin Dan had to return to Beaumont, Texas.

Compared to Los Angeles, Beaumont is better! There is a vast land and sparse population, and there is also a world-class spindle-top oil field. The most important thing is that the old oil field where the well was reopened last time is here.

If you can continue to "find" one or a group of old oil wells here, it will be quite convenient to mine.

After the group arrived in Beaumont and rested for a day, Yang Jing boarded the leased helicopter.

In Yang Jing's words, the buddies should use the "big hope technique" in the air, and strive to find another or a group of old oil wells in the "life"!
