Chapter 956 Ask the price first

  The Big Apple City in the United States is performing scenes of tragedies and comedies every day.

   But for Looney Rockefeller, of course, life was one of the best pleasures.

  Because I played a little late last night, of course when I woke up, it was already close to noon.

   When going to the restaurant for a brunch mix, Looney habitually opened the newspaper.

  A piece of news suddenly caught his eye, causing Looney to jump up from his chair, spilling the milk on the dining table and spilling it all over him.

  Looney didn't care about this either. The arm holding the newspaper trembled uncontrollably, as if he had just been shocked by an electric shock: "This, how is this possible?"

  Meanwhile, in another family of oil tycoons, Tony Getty, is still high in bed.

  A burst of rapid cell phone ringing finally woke Tony up. He muttered a dirty word before answering the phone:

   "Hey, Tony, we're in trouble."

   Hearing it was Looney's voice, Mr. Getty woke up instantly: "Oh, Looney, my friend, don't worry, any trouble can be settled with US dollars, so don't worry."

   "U.S. dollars, then you should prepare 100 million U.S. dollars."

   Looney's angry voice came from the phone, accompanied by a crisp sound, as if some utensil had been thrown to the ground.

  Tony Getty was also a little panicked: "Looney, what happened?"

   "Newspaper!" After Rooney shouted a word, he ended the call.

  Mr. Getty Jr. quickly got up from the bed, went to the living room to find today’s newspaper, and saw the headline written on it:

  The lucky son discovered a large oil field and won $500 million.

  The newspaper slipped gently from Mr. Getty's hand, just like his mood.

  The major newspapers in North America are scrambling to report the news that Mr. Mountain has discovered a huge oil field.

  Liu Qingshan naturally also received a wave of praise and adulation, and as his opponents, those oil giants were of course regarded as objects of negative ridicule.

  Losing money and losing people, this is probably the case.

   And Liu Yinfeng also reacted quickly, she knew that her brother was spending money now and had no time to spare.

  So he took Liu Qingshan's power of attorney, led the team, and began to visit Luni and others.

   Liu Yinfeng also experienced it for the first time: it turns out that debt collection feels so good.

  Poor Looney and his gang were suddenly taken as Yang Bailao.

   Fortunately, these guys have big families and big businesses. If they spend 100 million U.S. dollars, it's just a pain in the ass.

  As for the breach of contract, they didn't even think about it, they couldn't afford to lose that person.

  In Rainbow City, Liu Qingshan was arranging a banquet to entertain all guests.

   Such a happy event is certainly worth celebrating.

  The exploitation and transportation of the oil field have been entrusted to Prince Hamed. He has a professional team and the profits are not high.

  Liu Qingshan simply mortgaged the oil well and got another billion dollars from Prince Hamed.

  In addition to Liu Yinfeng’s rent of 500 million yuan, the total capital he invested this time has reached an astonishing 4.5 billion yuan.

  At the banquet, the people from the European and American oil companies looked resentful. They rushed over and got nothing but being slapped in the face by Li Sanjing and others.

   There is another group of people who are also a little restless. They are the observers sent by the various tribes.

  When seeing crude oil, these guys are almost envious: that's all money.

  Especially when they saw that after Liu Qingshan directly mortgaged a billion dollars, his saliva almost fell to his feet.

  The group got together and began to discuss: We still fight all day, for a few camels and a few sheep, it is too shameful.

  Then do one thing: find oil!

  Stimulated by the US dollar, the tribes quickly reached a consensus, and then Li Sanjing became a favorite, scrambling for his exploration team to go to the sea areas to which the tribes belonged to conduct exploration.

  Of course Li Sanjing would not agree, because he still has to continue exploration in Rainbow City, trying to find a few more large oil fields.

  Because of this successful exploration, Liu Qingshan also waved his hand and gave him a big reward.

  Ordinary team members, 10,000 yuan per person, as for those technicians and engineers, the amount is doubled.

   As for how much bonus Li Mijing received, outsiders do not know.

  Anyway, Mr. Zhao, who shares the dormitory with Li Sanjing, said: He was often woken up by Li Sanjing’s laughter when he slept in the past few nights.

  Although Li Sanjing couldn't go out in person, he was quite interesting and recommended his colleagues in the country to the representatives of the tribe.

  Now the representatives of these tribes don't trust the experts in Europe and the United States, but they trust the Chinese exploration ships.

   But when they learned that drilling an oil well requires millions or even tens of millions, they were all dumbfounded: If we have so much money, why do we need to drill oil wells?

  So it fell into an endless loop: if there is no money to drill wells, if you don’t drill wells, you will have no hope of finding crude oil.

  The representatives of these tribes were so worried that they almost pulled out their beards. In the end, they could only ask Liu Qingshan for help.

  Liu Qingshan has no money to help them pay for the exploration fee, it is simply a bottomless pit.

  If you are lucky, one well will produce oil; if you are unlucky, if you drill a hundred wells, all of them will be abandoned.

  But it is still possible to help out, this is also part of Liu Qingshan's plan.

  So when the banquet was about to end, Liu Qingshan got up and said: "Everyone, everyone is engaged in the oil industry and knows the principle of the coexistence of opportunities and risks, so I won't repeat myself."

   "I'll just say one thing below. Facts have proved that there are oil and gas resources in the sea area on Liland's side."

   "The government is unable to exploit, so I have a suggestion, that is, the government sells coastal oil exploration rights. I believe everyone will be interested in such a cooperation method."

  After Liu Qingshan finished speaking, the banquet hall became silent, and everyone was thinking about the feasibility of this proposal.

  Downie, the representative of Rockefeller, was the first to ask: "Mr. Mountain, how to set the price?"

  Liu Qingshan smiled slightly: "In this regard, Rainbow City does not have the final say. You large oil companies can negotiate with local tribes."

  For this kind of thing, Liu Qingshan is responsible for matchmaking, so as not to cause trouble.

  Anyway, Liu Qingshan has already discussed with the tribe representatives: ask for the price first.

  With the big oil well in Rainbow City placed here, I don’t believe that no one is tempted.

   And the biggest feature of this country is that it has a super long coastline, so this must be a huge income.

  However, Liu Qingshan also reminded these tribes: Don't sell all the exploration rights foolishly, at least half of them must be kept in your own hands.

  Liu Qingshan remembers the locations of several large oil fields in later generations. If these tribes happen to sell them again, he will also ask Xiao Wu to participate in the competition.

   As a result, both parties were happy. The next day, the representatives of the oil company left with the observers sent by the tribes.

   As for the specific price, these observers certainly do not have the power to set the price, and the patriarchs have the final say.

  Liu Qingshan is very happy to see this situation, after all, it can make this country peaceful for a while.

   This can be regarded as the greatest contribution he can make after joining this country.

  After dealing with the matter of Rainbow City, Liu Qingshan continued to embark on the journey full of harvest.

  The dumb grandfather and the little six sons were invited by Prince Hamed to pay a friendly visit to their country. Naturally, Liu Qingshan also took a ride with the wind, and his team had to make a transfer.

  Hearing that Liu Qingshan was going to the Black Sea to discuss business with Maozi, Prince Hamed was really proud, and waved his hand: I will borrow you the cruise ship!

  This luxury cruise ship is worth nearly one billion US dollars. If you borrow someone, you can borrow it. This is really Liu Qingshan's friend.

  The main reason is that Hamed identified Liu Qingshan's development prospects and international influence, so he deliberately made friends.

  Since this is the case, of course Liu Qingshan is not easy to refuse.

   And this time to buy an aircraft carrier, it is impossible to keep a low profile, so we might as well make a high profile.

  I am rich and self-willed, so why buy an aircraft carrier for fun?

   After setting off, Liu Qingshan realized that luxury cruise ships are not something ordinary people can afford.

  There are nearly 100 various staff members on board alone, and many of them are high-end talents in the industry, with an annual salary starting at least a few hundred thousand dollars.

   Fortunately, the boat was borrowed and he did not need to pay wages.

   This is just labor, and the consumption of other aspects of the cruise ship is also huge.

   Originally, Liu Qingshan also thought about getting a boat for fun in the future, but now he temporarily dismissed this idea.

  Compared with those oil tycoons, he is still a poor man, at most he has just escaped poverty.

  Just like Prince Hamed, who has a net worth of hundreds of billions; Liu Qingshan only managed to get a few billion, which is not enough in the eyes of others.

  The cruise ship sails westward along the Gulf of Aden. The general route is to enter the Red Sea first, pass through the Suez Canal, enter the Mediterranean Sea, then cross the Turkish Strait, enter the Black Sea, and then arrive at the naval base in the Black Sea.

  Liu Qingshan also studied this route carefully. Among them, the mouth of the Black Sea is the most critical. This is the only way to pass. If someone gets stuck, it will be quite uncomfortable.

  Back then, the old Maozi spent all his money, but he didn't win the seaport.

  In the original development track, the aircraft carrier was intercepted on the way back, and it was intercepted here, asking for a passage fee of one billion US dollars.

  Compared in this way, the pirates in Somalia are all children's play.

  On the cruise ship, apart from Liu Qingshan and Chen Dongfang, there was a group of hundreds led by Li Tie and Li Tieniu.

   Half of them are veterans brought from Huaxia, and the other half are natives from Liland.

   After all, it is under the banner of Lilan's side, and it can't be justified without some local people.

   On the first day of the voyage, I encountered local pirates, but after looking at the markings on the cruise ship, the pirate ships avoided them far away, and they couldn't afford to mess with these oil tycoons.

  Liu Qingshan couldn't help laughing: It seems that I really have to thank Prince Hamed.

   When their cruise ship sailed near the Berbera harbor, they saw an oil exploration ship working at sea.

This action is really fast enough. Liu Qingshan and the others first went to the Persian Gulf for a circle, sent Hamed and others home, and then turned back. There was a delay of more than ten days in the middle. Already started.

   Now that he has caught up, Liu Qingshan also decided to take a look. After all, he led this matter, so he just happened to follow up.

  Thus, two speedboats were lowered from the cruise ship, and Liu Qingshan took Li Tie and a few natives and drove towards the work boat.

  The people on the exploration ship should have spotted the cruise ship in the distance, so a few tattered boats greeted them immediately.

  The boats are full of locals with rifles. It is estimated that they were originally members of the pirate army, but now they have become sea guards.

   "We are from Rainbow City!"

  The natives on the speedboat hurriedly waved their hands and shouted. Under normal circumstances, even a pirate ship would not shoot casually.

  The name of Rainbow City is still very useful. When the speedboat slowed down, the small broken boats also turned around and surrounded the speedboat to return.

  In the northern part of the country, which is basically under the rule of Liland, it was originally fighting for independence.

  After Liu Qingshan boarded the survey ship, he really met an acquaintance, who was Rockefeller's representative Downey.

   Seeing Liu Qingshan, Downey was also quite surprised, but he still stepped forward to hug him very friendly.

  The aborigines on Liu Qingshan's side also quickly led a leader of a local tribe to meet Liu Qingshan.

   This bearded leader is called Mahmed. After learning of Liu Qingshan's identity, he was also very excited:

   "Mr. Mountain, welcome. It's great to have you here. With your good luck, our oil well will definitely succeed!"

  So that’s the case, no wonder they are so enthusiastic. In the eyes of these tribesmen, Liu Qingshan is a little golden man shining with golden light all over his body.

  Mehmed also spoke English, so Liu Qingshan communicated with him, the key point of course was to ask, how much was the exploration right in this sea area sold for?

  What Liu Qingshan is more worried about is: These poor and frightened tribes sell the exploration rights at a low price.

  After listening to Liu Qingshan's question, Mahmed's beard trembled, obviously very excited. He widened his eyes and raised a finger.

  Liu Qingshan blinked: "One hundred million?"

  This price also made Mehmed startled, and then shook his head: "Ten million, a total of 100 kilometers of sea area."

  Liu Qingshan nodded, it’s okay, it’s not too cheap, he really doesn’t want these oil companies in Europe and the United States to come here to pick up cheap.

  However, in his memory, there seemed to be no big oil fields near the Berbera port. It seems that Rockefeller will definitely lose money in this business.

  In addition to spending money to buy exploration rights, it also costs a lot of money to drill a few oil wells.

  Of course Liu Qingshan would not be kind enough to remind Downey, even if he told about this kind of thing, people would not believe it.

   As for the big oil fields in the future, Liu Qingshan has arranged for Xiao Wu to communicate with the local tribes.

   It is estimated that this time, those oil companies in Europe and the United States will come in good luck and return in disappointment.

  Liu Qingshan didn't have any pressure in his heart, did those guys **** less blood?

  He was thinking about it, when he heard Mehmed say cheerfully again:

   "Mr. Mountain, originally our side was going to fight for independence, but now everyone is busy looking for oil, and the political situation is much more stable, thank you!"

  Looking at the sincere eyes of this bearded man, Liu Qingshan's mood became brighter, and he replied with a smile:

   "Don't forget, I am also a member of this country, and this is what I should do."
