Chapter 298: A Visitor in the Middle of the Night

It was a successful party, where each player got an up-close look at the daily life and living environment of a billionaire.

The yard of the home can be raced horses, private jets and yachts, castles and villas, and the scenery of magnificent nature has been advertised countless times in the media.

High-end ingredients from all over the world, delicious food and famous wine are also difficult to shake the heartstrings of the players, after all, they are also wealthy.

But when all the players saw the precious artworks in the castle, saw the lifestyle of the big family, and saw their novelty just the daily life of the rich, they could feel this gap even more.

Being able to build a closer relationship with Jonas, the captain of the wealthy class, was a worthwhile trip for everyone.

In this way, Jonas has truly established himself as an authority in the team.

This is not an authority built by money and power, but by ability. Of course, money and power are just the means to make everyone more aware of their position.

There weren't many outsiders at the day's party, but there was an unexpected guest at the party.

The unexpected guest was Alpina, the head coach of the Olympic team brought by Enzelle, who had come to invite Jonas to join the team.

This came as a surprise to Jonas, as professional players in Europe are not allowed to participate in the Olympic Games.

From the fourth Olympic Games in 1908, football was included as an official sport. The statutes of the International Olympic Committee stipulate that only amateur footballers can compete in the Olympic Games.

Because the previous two tournaments were won by professional players from England, the gap between them and the amateur teams of other countries is too great.

In 1979, it was supplemented that all athletes from European and South American countries who had participated in the World Cup could not participate in the Olympic football tournament.

This is because professional players in Europe and South America are much more skilled than in other regions, while athletes from other countries in Africa and Asia are not subject to this restriction.

In other words, Jonas is not eligible for the Olympics.

After asking Alpina, I found out that today's Olympic football competition is declining because of its low level.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has decided to change the rules to limit the age limit of Olympic footballers to under 23 years old, and to allow three overage players per team.

I want to use this condition to attract more professional players to join the Olympic Games and increase the intensity of the competition.

By this standard, Jonas is not an overage player who can participate in the Olympic football competition.

But for the Olympics, Jonas actually doesn't look down on him, he is already a world champion, the best football player in the world, and he goes to play against a bunch of novices, isn't this bullying!

He did not directly refuse Alpina's invitation, but said that he would wait for the document to amend the regulations before making a decision.

Maybe the Swiss Olympic team won't make it to the finals, so there will be no choice.

It was early in the morning when the guests were gone, but Jonas had several more guests at home.

They had been waiting for the hotel in the town for a long time, and when the guests left, they immediately drove to Jonas's house.

Among them, there are Jonas's old friend Marvin Davis, there is Hubert Perodo, a partner of transoceanic drilling, and Svensson, Alexander Riccello, who later befriended them.

Soon after they arrived, even Richie, who rarely showed up on weekdays, came over from his villa.

Neuer's eyes were almost open, and he didn't know what to do when he saw so many guests coming at this time.

Hannah sent her to sleep and served as a waitress to entertain the guests.

In the small living room on the second floor, more than a dozen people sit on the circular sofa, which can accommodate more than 20 people. On the coffee table next to everyone, drinks, drinks, and snacks were placed, which was to prepare for a long conversation all night.

Since the discovery of oil in Angola on June 11, it has immediately touched the nerves of countless oil merchants.

Although Jonas has not been publicized to the outside world until now, he asked people to build an oil storage base in Cabinda, which cannot be concealed from those who have a good heart.

If oil is not discovered, why build oil storage bases?

Now most people just don't know how much oil has been discovered.

Jonas is in the World Cup, ignoring everything, and when it comes to oil development, it is Rich and Hubert who are worried about it.

The two of them, in recent times, have been persuaded by countless lobbyists.

Angolan oil is like freshly baked stinking dog shit, attracting countless flies to buzz.

Hannah had long anticipated that her home would become the eye of the storm, and when she discovered oil, Jonas would definitely become the target of oil merchants all over the world.

She just didn't expect that Jonas was so lucky that he had spent less than $100 million and drilled less than fifty wells to find oil.

Neuer Manor will be the center of many people's attention for a long time to come.

After serving the people, she did not leave, but sent Mikiros and Plov to rest, and sat down beside Jonas herself.

Jonas sat on a two-and-a-half-meter-long, high-backed court couch, even bigger than the average bed.

He leaned back in his chair, his feet crossed on a coffee table in front of him, and on the coffee table beside him, there was also a stack of papers.

Hannah didn't bother him to read the papers, and looked at Richie, who was lying on the side of the sofa on the opposite couch. "Mark, you have more experience in the distribution of benefits than Jonas, and we need your help at times like these. ”

Richie snorted and said, "Don't worry, Aunt Hannah, my face will still work." ”

Compared with the comfortable Richie, the other people's performance is much more formal, especially Svensson, who came to Jonas's house for the first time, sitting upright one by one, and at most lifting Erlang's legs.

However, it was late at night, and everyone was in a very relaxed state, how comfortable it was.

Hannah nodded, and then said to the others, "It's too late, I didn't treat everyone well tonight, please bear with me." ”

Hubert, who was closest to Jonas, smiled, "Aunt Hannah, it's perfect. It would be rude for us to visit at this time. ”

Jonas has a 40 percent stake in Transoceanic Drilling, he has a 25 percent stake in Transoceanic Drilling, and the two of them have a majority stake in Transoceanic Drilling.

Among today's guests, he and Ricci are two people who are detached, because they already have a certain interest in the Angolan oil development plan.

And people like Marvin Davis, Svensson, and Alexander are the oil merchants who want to use their close relationships to acquire an oil field for development.

Since the discovery of the first oil field on June 11, three more oil fields have been discovered in the course of a month.

The exploration of oil reserves is a very professional science, and each oilfield can be divided into petroleum geological reserves, technical recoverable reserves, and economic recoverable reserves.

For example, an oil field has one billion tons, but only 700 million tons of oil can be extracted with current technology.

It does not mean that if 700 million tons can be mined, 700 million tons will be mined, because after 500 million stews, the cost of each meal may exceed the selling price of oil in the future, and at this time, it is not suitable for further mining.

Most companies will adopt methods such as sealing wells and backfilling, and wait for oil prices to rise before mining.

The geological reserves are divided into proven reserves and estimated recoverable reserves, and there are different calculation methods according to the different fields of each field.

Basically, there is a way to find out the approximate reserves and production of an oil field before it is exploited.

That's what Jonas learned when he was in college. Analogy method, volume method, mass balance method, production decline method, well testing method, curve method, simulation method, etc.

This boring knowledge from the time he was in college is now the basis for Jonas to be able to talk to others on an equal footing.

Hubert had been paying attention to Jonas's expression, and he didn't think that Jonas could read boring documents at first, and there were many specialties in which he didn't even understand himself.

He started his entry into the field of exploration from oil trade, transportation, and in this regard, there are many basics that he does not understand.

Jonas had a very transparent experience, studying economics and management at university and only entering the investment field after his father's death. For more than a year, he has been inventing in the automotive industry, and if it weren't for Santos' invitation, he would not have become the general developer of Petronas.

But seeing that Jonas was watching with relish, he doubted his judgment a little.

Jonas looked at it for an hour before he put down the papers and cleared his throat.

The people who were originally chatting immediately perked up and took their attention back.

Hannah, who had been dealing with the crowd for nearly an hour in Jonas's place, felt a little tired and leaned back between the armrests and the back of the couch.

It's just that her education doesn't allow her to take off her shoes and lift her legs like men.

She leaned back in the corner of the couch and watched Jonas speak.

"Just now, I took a cursory look at the exploration results of the four oil fields of transoceanic drilling, and in general, they are still in line with our expectations. However, I personally believe that as a general developer, it is more prudent to start authorizing oil development only after fully understanding the local geology. ”

Hubert did not speak, and Transoceanic Drilling, as an engineering service provider, paid all expenses in advance by Jonas's Hoffman Investment Bank.

Jonas just doesn't develop it, at most it's just a little less engineering service fee, not to mention that not all oil companies will look for transoceanic drilling services.

However, this news is not good for Marvin Davis, Svensson, Alexander, and them.

Jonas is a developer, and if he wants to build fifty buildings, they are like builders, trying to get the most profitable building to build first.

There are some differences between oil and engineering construction, some oil fields are small, and they may be developed in five or ten years, but some oil fields are large and may be developed in 50 years, and the difference is big.

However, they also know that Jonas has something to say, and he will not always go undeveloped, depending on what conditions he has.
