Happy Tycoon
Chapter 376: Guo Dabao
"You said you've only been stable for a few days now, why are you going out again? Or go to that Leah, I heard that it is quite unstable there. Son, if we don't go, can we succeed?" Yang Ma pulled The son's hand was very reluctant.
As for Dad Yang, his face is also not pretty, but he didn't say anything.
"Mom, it's not good if I don't go. After all, I am also a major shareholder of Rongbao Mining, and the fat guy has already passed away. If I am a shareholder, it is really unreasonable. And there is also something that I must have. I don’t want to deal with things, and things can’t be dealt with well.”
"But I heard that it's not safe over there."
"Mom, you are too worried. The unsafe is Algeria’s neighbor Libya. Algeria’s political situation is quite stable. Besides, Chris and the others will meet with me in Algiers. If they are there, I might be in danger. Very low. Mom, don't worry."
Mother Yang glared at her son dissatisfiedly, then glanced at Ge Ge, who was standing on the side, and said dissatisfied: "Tell me about you, you will be engaged next month, and you will run around, have you considered how Ge Ge feels? ?"
Yang Jing was suffocated by the words, turned his head to look at Grid, also speechless.
Grid smiled and shook his head and said, "Auntie, let Yang Jing go, I can understand him."
啧啧, what a wonderful wife, it's so awesome, Yang Jing can't hold Gege and take a sip.
Mother Yang was taken aback by what the future daughter-in-law said, and then she shook her head helplessly, and mumbled: "Whatever you kid do, go ahead. The wings are hard, and the old lady can't control it."
Yang Jing and Grid looked at each other and secretly laughed.
Dad Yang grabbed his wife by the waist and said, "You are a silly woman, why don't you care about everything? How old is your son? You still care about everything, you are not too tired to panic! Let's go! Go shopping, buy whatever you like, and let your son pay you."
These words made Ma Yang’s face smile like a flower, stretched out her hand to hold Dad Yang’s arm, and got into Yang Jing’s car after a few steps.
Dad Yang started the car, and he stretched out his head amidst the roar of the engine and said loudly to Yang Jing: "Son, you should be careful when you get there. Think about it before doing anything."
After finishing speaking, Dad Yang put on the gas under his feet, and the shiny black Dinaton roared and drove away.
Watching the car driven by his father disappear into the traffic, Yang Jing turned his head and hugged Grid's waist, and asked in a low voice: "You really don't plan to go with me? There is the Sahara Desert, in the desert. There are also many oases, which are said to be very interesting."
Gege stretched out his hand to tidy up the collar for Yang Jing, shook his head and said, "No, I still won't go out with you now. After getting engaged, I will go with you when you go to Antarctica, but not now."
"Oh" Yang Jing sighed, "Well, since you don't want to go, then I won't be troubled by you. Dress up well from home, wait for me to come back and pick you up at your house, and then we will get engaged."
Ge Ge Jiao lightly punched Yang Jing's chest with two punches, then stretched out his arms to put his arms around Yang Jing's waist, and pressed his face to her boyfriend's chest. "You must pay attention to safety when you get there. Although Algeria is quite stable, it belongs to a North African country after all, and it is so close to Libya."
Yang Jing reached out and stroked Grid’s hair, “Don’t worry, there is absolutely no problem in terms of safety. Chris and the others have a relationship there. After going there, no matter whether it is a bulletproof car or a weapon, there is no problem, and there is also There are a large number of security personnel, so you definitely don’t have to worry about safety."
Gege sighed long, and said nothing.
After spending a day with Grid in Yanjing, Yang Jing boarded an Emirates flight. There is no direct flight from Yanjing to Algiers, and the fastest flight requires a transfer. For this flight Yang Jing took, he needed to stop in Dubai before he could fly to Algiers. The whole process took 36 hours.
Fortunately, Yang Jing was in first class, and the air ticket that was almost 80,000 yuan was not wasted. It is much better than the hard-pressed people who take the economy class.
When the huge Airbus A380 passenger plane landed safely from the Huali Boumedin International Airport in the southeast of Algiers, the capital of Algeria, Yang Jing saw the four bodyguards headed by Chris outside the gate.
The four of them were put on vacation by Yang Jing for more than half a month. They were reunited with their families at home for a while. This time they received a call from Yang Jing. The four of them immediately set off from the United States to Algiers with Lin Dan.
As a former special forces fighter, and later a senior bodyguard of a large security company, Chris has connections all over the world. Especially in places like North Africa and the Middle East, their relationship is even more complicated.
It’s as if five of them came to pick up the plane this time. A total of six cars came. One of them was a specially customized Mercedes-Benz G550 bulletproof off-road vehicle. The other five cars were full-size large SUVs, and it was not just Chris and the others. Five people came, outside the airport, and a standard special operations team composed of eight professional mercenaries.
This special operations team is composed of mercenaries. The members and Chris are very familiar with them. Captain Morris is a former comrade in arms of Chris. They are all friendships that have been tempered through blood and fire.
In order to protect Yang Jing's safety this time, Chris contacted Morris after receiving Yang Jing's notice. It just so happened that Morris's special operations team had no mission, so he took over the business.
Yang Jing paid a compensation of 800,000 U.S. dollars for Morris and the others for this protection. In addition, Yang Jing paid for the rental of the vehicle.
Although Algeria’s political situation is much more stable than that of its neighbor Libya, in places like North Africa, no one dares to be careless, especially the billionaires like Yang Jing, who are even more careless in terms of security.
Smiled and hugged Lin Dan and Chris, and shook hands with the mercenary captain Morris who followed Chris into the airport lobby. Yang Jing walked out of the airport lobby surrounded by a group of people, and then went there. A bulletproof Mercedes-Benz off-road vehicle drove straight to the city.
After the car arrived at the booked hotel, Yang Jing, accompanied by Lin Dan, Chris, and Morris, ate a sumptuous meal with local characteristics, and plunged into the bed and started jet lag.
I came to Algeria this time, and to be honest, Yang Jing didn't expect it. The main reason was that Guo Dabao handled the matter too quickly. The deal was finalized in just a few days, so Yang Jing had to rush over to see that the one Guo Dabao just bought has entered the oil production. The end of the oil field.
Algeria is rich in oil and natural gas resources. It is known as the "North African Oil Depot". It is the largest natural gas producer in Africa, the second largest natural gas supplier to Europe, and the top three oil producers in Africa. Algeria started producing oil in 1958 and soon became one of the 12 OPEC member states in 1969.
Algerian oil and gas exploration began in the first half of the 20th century. In the mid-1950s, many large oil and gas fields in the Sahara were discovered and developed by foreign companies. In 1971, Algeria nationalized 75% of its oil resources and 100% of its natural gas resources, and obtained complete control over the development of its own oil and gas resources. After that, the oil industry developed rapidly. After 1986, Algeria's oil and gas industry was opened to the outside world, and more than 50 international oil companies came to Algeria to participate in oil and gas exploration and development.
At present, about 80% of Algeria’s oil and gas resources are controlled by Algeria’s state-owned oil company sonatrach, and the remaining 20% is controlled by international oil companies, such as Spain’s cepsa and repsol, Britain’s bp, Italy’s eni, and France. Petroleum companies such as Total, Norway’s Statoil, and U.S. Anadarko all have varying numbers of oil and gas fields in Algeria.
It is worth mentioning that because China has imported more and more oil in recent years, it has become the world's largest oil importer, and now two barrels of China have entered the Algerian oil market.
Algeria has extremely rich oil and gas resources, but with the continued weakness of the international crude oil market, coupled with the fact that Algeria’s oil fields are mostly located in the central and eastern Sahara desert regions, the average cost of crude oil extraction in the country is as high as US$527/barrel. This price is not very competitive internationally. Especially after more than half a century of exploitation, some small and medium-sized oil fields have begun to enter the end of oil production. So now in Algeria, many international oil companies are looking for "takers" of oil fields under their name.
Guo Dabao was in this situation and accepted a medium-sized oil field of France Total located near Bormar, a small city on the border of Algeria and Tunisia.
The proven reserves of this oil field are 58 million tons, but after nearly 30 years of exploitation, this oil field has inevitably entered the end of its life.
The oil field is located on the border between Afghanistan and Turkmenistan~lightnovelpub.net~ there are a total of eleven oil wells. At its peak, this oil field can produce more than 9 million barrels of crude oil per year, but now, the annual output is less than 1 million barrels, and the average daily output of each oil well is just over 30 tons.
This oil field lies deep in the Sahara Desert. Although there are well-known Duleman and Roman wells around it, so little output has left the oil field at a loss. After all, the usual maintenance and labor costs are very high, so Total planned to sell this medium-sized oil field. Guo Dabao became the picker and spent 47 million US dollars to buy this oil field and the surrounding area. Oil and gas exploration rights and exploitation rights.
In fact, this sale is a trade that is clearly at a loss. It is a medium-sized oil field deep in the depths of the Sahara Desert, and it is still an oil field that has entered the end of mining. Let alone whether it is worth so much money, why did you buy it? Lose money to play?
If you change to an oil company, I am afraid that no one wants to be Total's successor, but Yang Jing knows that the power behind Guo Dabao is extraordinary, and Guo Dabao’s loss of business is probably also the support of the power behind it.
Regarding this situation, Yang Jing can't say anything else. After all, the power behind has its full consideration, and it is not for Yang Jing or Guo Dabao to interfere. However, since Guo Dabao bought this oil field, Yang Jing can't watch Rongbao Mining lose money, right? Anyhow, Yang Jing is also a major shareholder who owns 40% of Rongbao Mining's shares. If Rongbao Mining loses money, it is to pay from Yang Jing's pocket!
Guo Dabao's willingness to do such a fool does not mean that Yang Jing is willing to do such a money-losing transaction.
So, Yang Jing is here!
