…

At this moment.

Xu Cun is at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, D.C., which is the official residence and office of the President of the United States - the White House.

As soon as he entered the White House, Xu Cun was filled with emotion!

Including the White House, Xu Cun has visited the political holy places of the three major powers in the world, China, the United States and the Soviet Union. This is something that most people, including the leaders of the three major countries, have never experienced. Now, for a while, Xu Cun is inevitably full of pride!

On the other hand, there must be nothing good for President Reagan to find Xu Cun, a man who has just made a lot of money in the United States during this special period, and Xu Cun is somewhat worried!

Accompanied by Bush Jr., Xu Cun first met the current US Vice President - Bush Sr.

Before that, Xu Cun, who had close ties to the Bush family, had also met the elder Bush, but at that time Xu Cun was not yet on the table, at least not enough for the elder Bush to personally make friends.

Therefore, when Bush Sr saw Xu Cun at that time, he would at most nod to Xu Cun or say a word or two of encouragement to Xu Cun.

but--

After this stock market crash, Bush Sr.'s attitude towards Xu Cun is obviously different from before.

As soon as he saw Xu Cun, Bush Sr. dismissed Bush Jr., and then personally took Xu Cun to see President Reagan.

On the way, Bush Sr. reminded Xu Cun with a small voice but enough for Xu Cun to hear very clearly: "Don't worry, the president is looking for you, just want you to participate in the rescue of the market."

After hearing Bush's reminder, Xu Cun immediately said, "Thank you, uncle, for your reminder!"

Bush Sr said again: "You have made so much money in the United States this time, it is unreasonable not to come up with some bailouts. Not only you, but they will also be found."

Speaking of which, Bush Sr. suggested: "I would suggest that you might as well invest more, preferably create more jobs. It's good for you."

Next year, in 1988, Bush Sr. will be elected President of the United States. Therefore, the suggestion that Bush Sr. gave to Xu Cun must be adopted by Xu Cun as long as there is not much trouble in the future.

It is precisely because of this that Xu Cun immediately said: "If my idea can pass, I can spend all the money I made from the United States this time in the United States, and even I can make a large additional investment."

Bush glanced at Xu Cun, then asked calmly, "What do you think?"

Xu Cun said: "I want to build an oil and gas pipeline under the Pacific Ocean to sell Canadian oil and gas to the Asia-Pacific region. If the U.S. government and the U.S. Congress allow me to build this pipeline, then all the materials needed to build the pipeline to the Asia-Pacific region. The U.S. provides all labor and personnel. I have calculated that this pipeline can directly provide 100,000 high-paying jobs for the United States. If one of the purposes is to solve the employment problem in the United States, this pipeline can directly provide the United States with 200,000 jobs. 10,000 high-paying jobs, if you include low- and middle-paying jobs and derivative jobs, it is conservatively estimated that this pipeline can provide more than 5 million jobs in the United States.”

After listening to Xu Cun's 'Canada-Pacific' oil and gas pipeline plan, Bush Sr. was silent for a long time before asking, "What about the nature of this company?"

Xu Cun replied, "I am a sole proprietorship."

Bush shook his head and said, "It's impossible. Such a critical pipeline must have American companies as shares."

Xu Cun said leisurely: "I personally don't mind having a partner, but are there any American companies willing to invest a lot of money in this oil company that will definitely lose money for a long time in the future?"

Now the US strategy towards the Soviet Union is to thaw the strategic oil reserves, let the "oil tyrant" Saudi Arabia increase oil production again and again, and push the price of oil as low as it can, to bring down the Soviet Union.

One of the people in charge of this plan was actually Bush Sr., and after Bush Sr. waited on the throne of the President, Bush Sr. personally promoted this plan.

Therefore, it can be said that no one knows better than Bush Sr. that no American company will invest a lot of money in Xu Cun's oil company.

And the big oil companies that can build nearly 10,000 meters of pipelines under the Pacific Ocean cannot invest a lot of money in them, and it is impossible for them to hold too many shares.

To take a step back, even if there were one or two foolish American companies that jumped into the fire pit of Xu Cun's oil company, sooner or later, they would definitely jump out again because they couldn't support it.

After pondering for a long time, Bush Sr asked Xu Cun: "Since you can see the general trend of the oil industry, why do you still invest money in it?"

Xu Cun smiled and said, "I bet on the future of the oil industry. I believe that the oil industry will be able to restore its proper economic status one day sooner than later."

Bush Sr. seems to be mentioning Xu Cun: "But this time may be very long."

Xu Cun said with a firm look: "High risk leads to high reward!"

Feeling that his words were a bit blunt, Xu Cun smiled again: "Besides, I'm only twenty-seven years old, even if I wait thirty years, I can still afford it."

Hearing Xu Cun talk about his age, Bush Sr realized that Xu Cun was a dozen years younger than his son Bush Jr.

This awareness made the elder Bush value Xu Cun a little more - even if he looked at it from a harsh perspective, Xu Cun had already risen to become a prince, so he could obtain Xu Cun's prince for half a century or even Longer friendship, for the Bush family, is very meaningful!

Bush changed the subject and said, "Who are you going to build the pipeline in Asia?"

Xu Cun replied: "Which country buys my oil~lightnovelpub.net~ I will let which country build it."

Xu Cun's answer is reasonable, because only in this way can Xu Cun face the least obstacles, and the oil and gas pipeline that Xu Cun wants to build can be completed.

Bush thought for a while and then said, "The Middle East..."

Xu Cun smiled and said, "Isn't it bad for the United States to have one more choice? Moreover, my pipeline is absolutely under the control of the United States."

Canada is sandwiched between the east and west of the United States. The United States can send any warship to cut off Xu Cun's oil and gas pipeline. Therefore, Xu Cun said that his pipeline is definitely under the control of the United States.

Xu Cun's reminder made Bush's heart move - there are no permanent friends in this world, only permanent interests. Yes, Saudi Arabia needs the protection of the United States now and listens to the words of the United States, but who knows if Saudi Arabia will always be like this? If Xu Cun's 'Canada-Pacific' oil and gas pipeline can be completed, Xu Cun, who was pinched by the United States, can become an excellent alternative if Saudi Arabia is disobedient.

Wanting to understand this, Bush Sr. smiled lightly and stopped talking.

Seeing that Bush Sr seemed to be persuaded by himself, Xu Cun, who was following Bush Sr., also secretly smiled in his heart - yes, in the future, the main valve of the 'Canada-Pacific' oil and gas pipeline will be in the hands of the United States, but don't forget, Those sub-valves leading to various regions in the Asia-Pacific region will all be in Xu Cun's hands in the future. Therefore, without Xu Cun's cooperation, the United States cannot stop any country's oil and gas supply, unless the United States dares to take the risk of public anger and cut off the oil and gas supply of the entire Asia-Pacific region.

Moreover, if all goes well, the oil and gas pipeline that Xu Cun will master in the future will not only be the "Canada-Pacific" oil and gas pipeline...
