Chapter 1461 Guess

Could it be that the gap between the previous life and the present world is really that big? Then why are many large oil fields in the same location as in previous lives?

Could it be

At this moment, Xiao Yunhai suddenly thought of a possibility.

It's not that they didn't discover oil fields in the Midland Basin, they discovered them, but they didn't report them.

If so, that would perfectly explain why Bessie's heir bought Peck's shares. Unfortunately, he was one step late.

But such a big thing, if you want to completely hide it, you need to manage it up and down. For example, Stephens and Luke Ulysses should know. They don't open one eye, they close one eye, and it is simply impossible for them to get away with it. Then there are the prospectors who hit the oil, and they must also be involved. It's just taking other people's benefits and hiding it for them.

Xiao Yunhai closed his eyes and tapped lightly on the table with his finger, thinking to himself, "This matter must be investigated clearly. If you are fooled by these people, then just find a piece of tofu and kill yourself."

Thinking of this, Xiao Yunhai walked out of the office and came to an unoccupied corner, called Raul and asked him to ask five or six private detectives to go to Texas to find out.

Just walking back to the office, I happened to meet Luke Ulysses at the door.

"Boss, I'll come to you to sign."

Xiao Yunhai was stunned for a moment and said, "Sign what?"

Luke Ulysses handed Xiao Yunhai a letter of agreement, saying: "This is an agreement signed by our company and the Texas government to explore and develop the desert oil in West Texas. We spent half a year and traveled almost everywhere. The whole place, still nothing."

Xiao Yunhai's heart moved, and he made a move to come in.

Sitting in the boss chair, Xiao Yunhai looked at the agreement and said deliberately: "There will be oil in this environment? Who said that. Although it has indeed appeared in other parts of the world, the rate is still too small. Why do you want to Exploration in West Texas at such a high price?"

Luke Ulysses said respectfully: "Boss, this is the conclusion drawn by the American Geological Survey, saying that it is likely to have a large oil field there. Our original major shareholder obtained this meeting through various relationships. , I didn't expect anything."

Xiao Yunhai frowned and asked, "Then why did you give me this agreement? Isn't it half a year left?"

Luke Ulysses said: "The exploration team is 100% sure that there is no oil left.

So wasting time there any more is superfluous. Our previous contract with Texas was for one year. According to the regulations, if we could leave within six months, we could save half a billion dollars. "

Xiao Yunhai sneered: "We spent 5 billion US dollars to buy the exploration and development rights, and we spent a lot of manpower, material and financial resources. In the end, we have 500 million left. Am I short of the 500 million? The area is so big, let me They continue to explore."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Yunhai directly took the agreement into a ball and threw it in the trash, but his eyes were fixed on Luke Ulysses in front of him.

Luke Ulysses was shocked at first, and even bent over to pick it up, as if he felt inappropriate, he quickly recovered, and then a trace of anger flashed on his face, which was fleeting.

Xiao Yunhai suddenly came to the conclusion that his guess was very likely to be true.

Otherwise, a letter of agreement could not have made Luke Ulysses so nervous.

Xiao Yunhai saw that he had a slight movement of turning his head, and his eyes immediately moved away from his face.

Luke Ulysses looked up at Xiao Yunhai, and said calmly: "Boss, US$500 million is a lot, enough for our company's employees for four or five years. The environment there is very bad, and the exploration team has Some can't take it anymore. It's just futile to go on like this."

Xiao Yunhai thought about it for a while, then nodded and said, "What you said also makes sense. Well, let me think about it. After all, I haven't taken it for too long, so such an important decision can't be taken lightly. When I figure it out. Let’s talk about all the company’s situation.”

Luke Ulysses said: "But I'm worried that half a year is coming, and if we miss it, we'll lose another $500 million."

Xiao Yunhai thought for a while, and said, "We'll have a meeting to study in the future. Damn, this American Geological Bureau is too unreliable."

Luke Ulysses laughed: "If they were accurate every time, the country would have gone down, and what about us oil companies."

Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "That's right. It's alright, if you have nothing to do, you can go out first. Contact us in the next two days, and we will get the equipment things sorted out as soon as possible."

Luke Ulysses said: "Okay."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at the agreement in the trash can, Luke Ulysses turned around and walked out.

Xiao Yunhai had a smile on his face. If oil fields were really discovered in Texas, Peck would soon be able to come back to life. Looking at the look of this Luke Ulysses, this possibility is almost 100%.

Just then, the door of the office was knocked again.

"Come in." Xiao Yunhai shouted.

The door opened and Gardules entered.

Xiao Yunhai stood up and greeted, "Dulles, I was just about to talk to you."

Gadules was also very happy when he saw Xiao Yunhai treated him so politely, and said, "Boss, I'm going to report to you about the situation of our oil refinery."

Xiao Yunhai said: "Please take a seat, don't worry, let's talk slowly."

After Gadulles sat down, Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "I just thought about what you said about the replacement of oil refinery equipment. Since we no longer have crude oil supply in that area, why don't we wait until there are new oil fields and directly What about building a new refinery next to it. At the very least, it saves the exorbitant costs of building pipelines and transporting crude oil.”

Gadules nodded and said, "Boss, I completely agree with your opinion. However, these two factories are a bit too old, and with the pipeline, I am afraid they are worth at most eight billion dollars."

Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "Eight billion is eight billion. We have a new factory and new equipment, and we can save on transportation. Dulles, I have great confidence in the company, as long as we can transition After the current difficulties, success is inevitable. By the way, I want to tell you one thing. After a while, our company needs to organize an exploration team to go to China. The government has agreed to our private exploration of oil and natural gas. Once the oil field is discovered , that is owned by us. However, after the finished product is made, like the United States, it can only be supplied to China."

Gadules said: "This is a good thing. However, the boss forgets it, let's not talk about it, gossip behind people's backs, I really can't do this kind of thing."

Xiao Yunhai said: "I came to the company for the first time, and I didn't understand a lot of things. Let's talk about it, let's talk about it, I'll just listen to it, no one will know about it."

Gadulles nodded and said, "I heard that Mr. Stephens seems to be in close contact with Mr. Bessie's t Energy Company recently."

Xiao Yunhai snorted and said, "Let him go. Anyway, I have let him go home. In the future, he will only have the right to share dividends, but not to manage it. The same is true for t Energy Company."

Gadules said: "That's good. Boss, let me tell you about the situation of other refineries. They are also not optimistic."

After half an hour, Gadules left.

Xiao Yunhai secretly said: "This Gadules is a talented person. If he comes to be a company e, he will be a good candidate."

Thinking of this, Xiao Yunhai called the personnel department and asked the personnel department to send a copy of Gadules' work resume.

After reading it, Xiao Yunhai said with satisfaction: "This guy is really multi-faceted. He has worked as the head of the exploration department, the head of the sales department, and the head of the refinery in several oil companies. He is simply the best candidate for e. Let's observe Come on, if there is no problem, it will be him."
