In order to get rid of the energy crisis, the US imperialist government has indeed supported various energy research, but in terms of shale gas, the support is actually very small.

First of all, let's talk about energy policy and financial support.

At the beginning, when the United States imperialism was formulating its energy security strategy, the shale gas research and development project was called the Eastern Gas Project by the Ministry of Energy. But since the beginning of the 70s, the total investment of the US Department of Energy has only been about 100 million US dollars, which can be said to be almost non-existent for shale gas projects in the entire United States.

You must know that just on Michelle Energy, about 250 million US dollars have been invested from the 80s to the present, and so much money has been invested in it and has not yielded, and ordinary people have long been unable to withstand it.

In fact, in Michelle Energy, the opposition has never stopped, but there is no way to support George Michel, the founder and general manager.

Second, the U.S. government has indeed introduced tax credits to promote shale gas development.

However, as an energy company that studies shale gas, they are all doing loss-making things, and where to talk about taxes, and those large enterprises will invest a part of it every year to achieve the purpose of tax avoidance.

Well, this provides a way for some businesses to avoid taxes.

As a super-rich man, Li Feng is now accustomed to a group company's annual revenue of tens of billions, but the net profit is at most several hundred million.

……

Of course, the U.S. imperialist government is not charitable, and many times policy support is not without a price, for example, once in 87, the U.S. imperialist government's natural gas research institute proposed to jointly develop with Michel Energy, so as to be able to give some support.

In the end, Michelle rejected the government's 'good intentions' because he was worried that any unnecessary public coverage might have a negative impact on the company's land area, price and other aspects.

For example, the increase in land prices and area will naturally lead to an increase in the cost of research technology, which will be a disaster for shale gas companies like Michel Energy that have been operating at a loss, after all, if the state provides a certain amount of strong support, it will definitely lead to many people rushing to the top, which will lead to strong competition and increased costs.

Second, the country's researchers intervened, and when the results were really produced, Michelle Energy's small arms and legs were often not up to them.

More critically, Michel believes that shale gas technology should be at a critical time for breakthroughs. Therefore, before this, Michelle actually bought or rented in the seven major shale gas core areas in the United States, hoarding a large number of shale gas mineral land resources.

Suffice it to say, if shale gas were to be used commercially, Michel Energy would definitely be able to take the lion's share of it, as Michelle has historically done. After all, Michelle is still an American businessman, and he also wants to become a prominent player in the American energy industry.

After raising funds, those investors have entered the shale gas industry, only to suddenly find that in addition to those who have original owners, a lot of land with shale gas resources has been occupied by Michel Energy, and finally Wall Street and even investors in the United States have to buy these shale gas land resources from Michel Energy or cooperate in development.

Michelle Energy has not only raised funds, but also made a lot of money from these shale gas land resources, which shows the importance of being able to 'fool'.

……

Of course, in Li Feng's view, Michelle is still sold early, if the land that stores a large amount of shale gas and shale oil is hoarded there, and when the shale gas revolution officially breaks out in the new century, Michel's energy company will be able to become a giant in the global energy industry.

Looking at the lively scene in the banquet hall, Li Feng had a feeling of 'everyone is drunk and I am sober', watching Michelle and George surrounded by the crowd, talking to investors about the prospects of shale gas, Li Feng said hello to Xu Youyu, and the two walked over with a cocktail party.

Others are still thinking about it, but Li Feng has greater confidence than George Michelle himself, since he has such an opportunity, Li Feng naturally thinks about how to get Michelle Energy Company in his pocket, and his ambitions are much greater than those of the rest.

If the wholly-owned acquisition of Michel Energy can be realized, and the shale gas and oil resources reserved by Michel Energy can be controlled before the rest of the investors, then the natural gas and oil resources of the United States will be in control in the future.

At that time, Li Feng said that the energy industry of the United States imperialism will tremble, although it will not reach the level of John Rockefeller back then, but it may also have half of the power of John Rockefeller.

"Mr. George, how about we talk?"

walked in front of the two, and waited until the rest of the investors greeted Li Feng one after another, and then Li Feng smiled and said to everyone.

Li Feng's meaning is obvious, he has a certain interest in shale gas, and he wants to ask you to leave for a while, and he wants to talk to the two of them privately.

……

It can also be seen from the performance of the crowd that although Li Feng is young, he is indeed already a super boss, which is supported by the growing influence and the super wealth of the rich country.

"Mr. John, I'll take my leave first, and you can talk!"

"Mr. Governor, Michelle, you talk!"

“…”

"Both, let's go over there and have a chat!" Seeing that everyone was leaving temporarily, Li Feng looked around, pointed to a place where no one was and said to the two.

"Okay, John, if you can invest in Michelle's energy company, that's great!" Xiaobu replied with a smile.

"Haha... George, to be honest, I'm really interested in mineral resources, after all, human life today can't live without these, isn't it?

However, you should also know that I really don't know much about the energy industry, but at least I know one thing, that is, there are a lot of natural gas and oil resources stored in shale, but unfortunately due to technical reasons, they have not been effectively developed, and perhaps in the future, with the development of technology, it can be exploited.

Unfortunately, at least for now, it's still a loss-making deal, and no one knows what the future holds, whether it's a complete waste or a temptation to exploit resources, and of course, this may be a chance for me, isn't it?"

……

"Yes, it's a gamble, but I think there's a very good chance of success. George Michelle replied with certainty.

"Michelle, I know you've been working on shale gas since the early '80s, so I'd like to ask when do you think the energy in shale will officially enter the full-scale commercial phase.

I thought no one could guarantee it, but forgive me for being presumptuous, otherwise, Michelle, you wouldn't be so old and still running around the United States looking for money, wouldn't you?"

"I believe it will be soon, I think the accumulation of technology has almost reached a critical point, as long as a breakthrough is made, the next is the harvest season. ”

"OK, technically I'm not a professional after all, I won't say anything, I just want to know the approximate time, Michelle, to be honest, I heard that you are almost 80 years old, I don't know how long you can support it, and I have to take a big risk to invest in your energy company." Li Feng struck again.

Although I am sure of others in my heart, if I want to get the maximum gain at the minimum cost, I should still do what I should suppress and crack down on before I succeed.

"John, we're also old friends, just say it directly, what kind of conditions do you want?" The shrewd Xiaobu classmate understood the meaning of Li Feng's words, and immediately asked Li Feng with a smile.

"George, Michelle, I'm really interested in the abundance of energy in the shale, but at least for the time being, I don't see a commercial future, and I need to invest a huge amount of money every year, maybe three, five or even 10 or 20 years, who knows?

Again, I have not been engaged in the energy industry before, and there is a lack of talent, so I want to directly control or even acquire Michelle Energy, and I am talking about all assets, including talents, technology patents, equipment, land and minerals, and so on.

I think you should understand that I'm only 17 years old now, and I have time to wait, even if it's 20 or 30 years of continuous investment. Li Feng replied firmly.

……

Obviously, Li Feng has his own ambitions, and the future shale gas revolution is doomed, and Michel Energy now occupies the best resources, from technology to mineral reserves, which is simply a godsend.

Another one, Michelle is also old, almost 80 years old, and the later Michelle Energy Company was soon sold by him, after all, the age is on the line, and he can't help it.

"Impossible!"
