Negotiations on the distribution of benefits lasted a week before the main terms of the preliminary cooperation were negotiated.

It includes the timeline for oil development, cooperative enterprises, and the main aspects of oil taxation.

An oil field, due to geological and geographical reasons, mining cost reasons, etc., it is impossible to start mining as soon as it arrives.

Many oil fields have to be put on hold for more than a decade before they are exploited.

Therefore, determining the development schedule is the most important clause for each oil-producing country, because early development can only be profitable.

In addition, many oil companies do not have the technology to develop the ocean, and for sales reasons, they need to bring in partners, which also have to negotiate with EOT, the Angolan government and Petronas.

As for oil taxes, offshore oil extraction costs more than land-based oil extraction. Angolan oil companies have not had a big appetite and have demanded a resource tax of 38 to 45 percent, depending on the cost of developing the field.

The tax rate is less than 50 percent, which is already a very low tax, and in Saudi Arabia, there used to be oil fields that had to pay 86 percent resource tax.

What is this concept? It is equivalent to extracting $100 of oil, and the oil companies will only get 14 percent if they want to give $86 to the Saudi government.

Even so, they still make a lot of money because of the extremely low cost of mining.

In the end, the Saudi government nationalized all the oil fields, and foreign oil companies could only earn a small fee for their services.

Jonas recovered $700 million in license fees through seven oil fields, while EOT had a 3 to 5 percent interest in the oil extracted by oil companies.

The Jonas I Government provided a credit guarantee of $800 million, and most of this was recovered.

However, he has invested nearly $300 million in exploration, and now he has invested another $400 million to build an oil tanker port and oil storage base in Cabinda, and it is still far from recovering costs.

Because of the civil war in Angola, many oil companies do not have plans to develop oil fields now, and they buy the rights to develop oil fields only for strategic reserves.

However, Jonas is not in a hurry, because he knows that there are many oil fields in this area, and he can easily recoup the cost with the license fee in the future, not to mention the continuous income from such reserves.

Based on the recoverable volume of 13 billion barrels, Jonas's interest is about 500 million barrels, and even if it is calculated at 20 US dollars a barrel, these can bring him tens of billions of dollars in the future.

Of course, this will take decades, but if Jonas is in a hurry to use the money, he can also sell this part of the equity and directly receive three or four billion, which is not a big problem.

This is only a rough estimate, and in fact, the interests involved are very complicated.

Moreover, Jonas did not only earn and not give. For example, the security team he is now building is a huge expenditure of millions every year.

He provides technical support to other oil companies through transoceanic drilling, because he has a 40% stake in transoceanic drilling, and this part will also have a lot of income in the future.

On 18 September, the negotiations came to an end, and most of the guests returned satisfied.

In Angola, no one celebrates the partnership because of the renewed fighting.

Thawing Stehot's return from the south, Savimbi's rejection of the offer not to attack the railway line, also means that the copper mines in Katanga cannot be shipped out of the country now.

However, Savimbi did not want to completely offend the Alliance of Interests, and his diamonds had to be sold through the Alliance.

So he promised to cooperate with Zaire and connect the railway line if the war was in his favor.

But Jonas knew that the promise was useless.

On his return, Stehot brought back two boxes of diamonds, including a 126-carat pink diamond with a diameter of four centimeters.

Instead of letting the diamond enter the market, Jonas paid $1.2 million and bought it at cost.

This time he came to Angola and was delayed for more than half a month, and Jonas didn't even dare to tell his grandmother that he had been attacked.

He had long had the intention to buy a rare diamond for his grandmother, and he happened to meet it this time, so he naturally wanted to buy it to please his grandmother.

After preliminary identification by diamond experts, this is a pink diamond classified as Type IIa, which means that this is a rare gemstone with few blemishes.

Although the diamond will be a little smaller after polishing, the market price of a rare pink diamond over 100 carats would have exceeded 10 million dollars in the 80s.

However, it has not entered the market now, and the cost of buying the diamond from Savimbi's hand is only $1.2 million.

Pink diamonds have the fastest increase in value of all diamonds, and since the 90s, they have repeatedly fetched sky-high prices at auction.

The most memorable Xiangjiang Da Liu spent more than $20 million to buy a pink diamond of the same grade, which was only one-sixth the size of this diamond.

The value of a diamond increases in multiples as its weight increases.

This diamond is enough to be a family heirloom.

On 21 September, Jonas left Angola and flew straight to Zurich.

If you bring back such a diamond, you must go to the customs to declare it.

And when grandma Hannah saw this diamond, she really liked it very much and couldn't put it down.

Not only did she call Vila Oumar over to admire the diamond, but she also held a reception between the ladies for the diamond.

In addition, she is also actively contacting well-known diamond cutters in Europe to cut the loose diamond.

A diamond can make her so happy, not only did she not pursue Jonas to go to Africa for so long, but also offered to help Jonas continue to deal with company affairs and let him rest for a few days.

Jonas, of course, could not be idle, so when he returned to Switzerland, he immediately had a long exchange with Rich and Green, and worked out more detailed plans for the development of Angolan oil.

In addition to this, he also has to cultivate a relationship with Sophia.

This time I went to Africa for more than half a month, and after coming back, Sophia was a little rusty with him.

While in Zaire, Jonas thought about building a zoo for Sofia at home, but his grandmother objected.

Except for horses and dogs, grandma is defensive about any animal. She is allergic to cats and is afraid that animals will bring germs, even if she has horses and dogs at home, they are all raised by special people and do not approach them casually.

If it weren't for this reason, Jonas would have been going to bring back a few rare animals.

In addition to renewing his relationship with Sofia, Jonas also has to undergo military training.

He will be 22 years old next year, and before the age of 22, all Swiss people will have to serve for eight weeks and go through military training.

But he only served four weeks in the summer of '83, and he was still four weeks away. He didn't want to wait until next year to cramm, because he planned to stay in China for a while next year.

The two years before the year after the Lunar New Year were the two years when Europe and the United States had the closest relationship with China, and many new technologies were open to China.

Only by sitting in China can Jonas get car production on track as soon as possible.

This is not to say that other people can't do it, but that no one knows the national conditions of China better than him, and his status is high, and he has encountered fewer difficulties in implementing the plan, and it is also faster.

So taking advantage of the fact that there are not many things to do now, he is ready to finish his military service first.

Jonas applied for two weeks of service, this time to patrol the border at a mountain battalion on the border between eastern Switzerland and Austria.

When he left, Sophia cried heartbreakingly, which made him feel distressed.

In the past few days, he has been obedient to Sophia, Sophia is very clingy to him, and he even has to find his father when he sleeps.

Without her mother by her side, the nanny Anna is also not allowed to follow her too much by her grandmother Hannah. Grandma never spoiled her children, but Jonas doted on her.

She is really very well-behaved, she wakes up every day in the afternoon, and she doesn't cry or make trouble. Jonas deliberately pretended to be asleep, so she could sit next to Jonas and play for a long time, and she liked to pick Jonas's nose with her fingers the most.

There is such a lovely child, no matter where she goes, Jonas's heart is in her.

Jonas, by contrast, thinks less about Neuer.

Neuer is also very busy this year, decorating her house in London, attending classes every day, training, preparing for the engagement and customizing jewelry, all kinds of dresses, each of which consumes a lot of her time.

On this time, Neuer only spent one day with Jonas on the weekend, then went to Paris to try on clothes, and when he returned, he went straight to school.

It's already cold in Switzerland in October, and there's a snowfall in the eastern mountains.

However, when Jonas came to serve, the weather was beautiful, and the weather was good for half a month, neither hot nor cold.

It also made training and patrolling easier, and Jonas took the opportunity to adjust his body to its best.

In mid-October, Jonas returned from the mountains, and Mikiros's schedule was already full for the next three months.

First of all, we had to go to Toei, and in the course of a year, the yen rose from 25 to 1 to 18 to 1 against the dollar.

Since all of Jonas's investments were converted into yen assets, this alone increased by 30 percent.

Benefiting from the soaring stock market and housing market in Dongying, investing in Dongying can make money on almost any investment.

Bennett's own ability is very strong, and the market has made a profit of more than 50% in the past year.

In this year's time, the gross profit of investment in Dongying is almost 70%.

When I went to Dongying and came back, I had to go to receive the Golden Globe Award, and then I had to participate in various meetings, parties, and in December, I had to hold a partner meeting and participate in the year-end meeting of each company.

And just when Jonas was preparing to go to Dongying, a phone call from Best made Jonas postpone his trip to Dongying.

"Jonas, this is the result of our investigation of more than 40 companies and forces provided by the information center in the past month, although there is no concrete evidence, but we have circled the suspicion on three. ”

Because of Best's lack of involvement with all parties, Jonast wanted them to investigate the attack he had been attacked more than a month ago.

Most of them still have ties to the Jewish state, and although they cannot be completely reliable in terms of loyalty, they can still be trusted.

And because the relationship doesn't rely entirely on Jonas, Jonas is using them and doesn't have too many scruples.

"Please take a seat, let me see the information first. ”

Best sat down across from his desk, and Jonas found a comfortable position in his large chair and began to read the information.

In the aftermath of the attack on Jonas, the Information Center set up a special team to investigate all those who were under suspicion.

This includes major oil companies, as well as some individual members of interest coalitions, most of whom are partners in Jonas.

They first screen all the objects, analyze the business actions from the past few months, and no company will let go of any abnormal movement.

No matter what company, even if it is a spy agency, they have their own rhythm and procedures.

Whether or not there was any involvement in the plan against Jonas, even if it is difficult to find out on the surface, is questionable as long as there is an inexplicable action.

The target of suspicion was handed over to Best, and he was asked to arrange for manpower to conduct surveillance, and even arrange for commercial spies to steal intelligence.

And the call records of the relevant personnel of these companies are almost all counted.

This is not an easy task, and even if Best borrowed the power of the Mossad, it took more than a month to get these investigations into a context.

Of the three suspects, two are from Armenia, one is Phillips Oil, and one is Connor and Oil.

These two companies are most suspicious because they also have superior oil exploration capabilities in their own right.

In 70, Phillips Petroleum Company explored oil fields in the North Sea, drilled eleven dry wells, and the company almost went bankrupt.

But in the twelfth, they found the Ecofork oil field and drilled the first commercial oil well in the North Sea.

This allowed them to grow their company in no time and become one of the big oil companies.

Not only do they have the same marine exploration technology as transoceanic drilling, but they also have the most staunch anti-Rich stance in the Armenian oil consortium.

In addition to them, there is also a business that Jonas did not expect, the Italian state-owned oil company Eni.

This company, Jonas is very face-saving, and gave them an oil field.

Jonas continued to look earnestly, he wanted to know why these three companies were the most suspicious, and why they were doing it to themselves.

The investigation began with the listening of several of Savimbi's satellite phones, which were directly relayed through the satellites and could not be monitored by ordinary means.

However, through the computer's cracking of the encryption algorithm of the satellite communication system, he can find out his previous phone call records and listen to the content of subsequent phone calls.

To that end, Jonas earmarked $500,000 for six staff members.

And with the Mossad computer specialists, Jonas spent a million dollars to get it done.

It was also through this means that Savimbi was able to determine the call records between Savimbi and Armenia in the previous period.

The oil companies are in direct contact with Savimbi, which is obviously to trick Savimbi behind his back, and they use some promises to achieve a certain goal.

Subsequently, the Mossad team conducted telephone surveillance and surveillance of the top management of the two companies, and then implicated Eni Oil.

This evidence cannot be nailed to suspicion, but Jonas is not a judge, and he can retaliate as long as he has fifty percent suspicion, as long as he doesn't care about the other party's counterattack.
