Chapter 882: Submarine Cables and Oil

Hu Yanyan said: "To build power plants, roads, and signal towers, we need to bring in submarine fiber optic cables, and the closest submarine fiber optic cable to us is 5,600 kilometers. ”

Zhang Xingming scratched his head and smiled, and said, "I feel like I've entered the old century." Just call Sikeda to come over and solve it at once, this place is close to the African Black Brothers, and we can also sell electricity to make some money. The submarine cable can be moved, and the black buddies on our right and the white buddies on the left will be an important node in the future.

By the way, why don't John or Bald Eagle control a few telecommunications companies, we have to take the initiative to participate in the great cause of connecting the world, the Atlantic and Pacific are waiting to be conquered by mankind, we should be an important player in it, do you think?"

Su Yan blinked and said, "You are the boss, you have the final say." ”

Zhang Xingming laughed, and the recent depression and unhappiness were swept away.

Li Chun asked, "Is this submarine cable important?"

Zhang Xingming said: "We have to admit that the bald eagle is the most powerful country on the planet and is now the center of the world. Whether it's academics, science and technology, or communications, we can't do without him, you know? You know computers, so you know the network, right?"

Li Chun nodded, he has contact with this piece, Bald Eagle and John have already covered the whole network, and there is now the concept of network in China, and Zhang Xingming also knows the national optical cable connection project in China.

Zhang Xingming said: "The Bald Eagle is the starting point of the network, and in the future, the network will be the main and most important tool for communication in the world, and satellites are only an effective supplement to the network. From now on, submarine cables will connect the world little by little and change the world. ”

Li Chun nodded: "This must be done." ”

Zhang Xingming said to Su Yan: "Tell Doudoucheng that Cisco should set its sights on the world and actively participate in some network-related matters, from protocol architecture to network promotion and application. Professor Berners-Lee at MIT is a very good place to work with.

Wang An Computer should put all its energy into software upgrade and development, such as developing a network browser that integrates PS or a business e-mail, or network communication.

The development and research of hardware is entrusted to Wang An's laboratory, and attention is paid to all researchers and patents related to computers and networks for acquisition and acquisition, and the research on memory and integrated chips is intensified.

Software and hardware can be transferred from the domestic engineering to assist, to start from the direction of network interconnection. ”

Su Yan recorded for a long time, looked up and asked Zhang Xingming: "This is the work of the little girl, right?"

Xu Xiaoya on the side glared at Zhang Xingming, Zhang Xingming waved his hand and said, "Well, don't care about these details." Su Yan smiled and handed the record paper to Xu Xiaoya, Zhang Xingming turned his head and asked Xu Lan: "Do we have any investment in energy in Bald Eagle or John?"

Xu Lan flipped through the notebook and said: "There are related investments, but there are no holding companies. ”

Zhang Xingming said: "I can take one or two holdings as soon as possible, preferably in both countries, and then two or three companies come forward to form a new energy company, which is useful for me." Oh, and let me know as soon as the holding is completed. ”

Xu Lan asked, "Is there a limit on scale or direction?"

Zhang Xingming said: "The scale of oil exploration and exploitation does not matter, as long as the technology can meet the requirements. ”

Li Chun turned his head to look at Zhang Xingming and asked, "There is oil here?"

Zhang Xingming said: "Volcanic islands, generally there is a little oil in the sea area attached to the volcanic island, you can look at the distribution of oil at sea now." So just try it, and it won't cost a few dollars, so why can't you go to the Middle East to buy a few oil fields, you can't lose money. ”

To be honest, Zhang Xingming was too biased in his last life, and he was not interested in finance, energy, and military industry, so he really couldn't get the relevant news in this area in his memory. But he knew that there was oil on the edge of Prince Island, and it was discovered by the Meifu Company at that time, and the reserves seemed to be 10 billion barrels. Zhang Xingming didn't know about another company, he had watched a documentary about Meifu.

Xu Lan looked at the notebook and said: "There are four Bald Eagle oil companies that we are investing in now, Texas, Chevron, Meifu, and the mainland, among which Meifu has more shares, 21.25." ”

Zhang Xingming said: "Damn, it's all Big Macs, what about John?"

Xu Lan flipped through two pages of notes and said, "Amoco, Shell, John Oil, three." ”

Zhang Xingming thought hard for a long time, and the world oil company seemed to be different from later generations. The mergers and acquisitions of oil companies are too frequent, and the transnational alliance is like drinking water, except for the more famous Meifu in China in later generations, the shell and BP The other three Zhang Xingming family can't figure it out.

Zhang Xingming knew that Meifu was the best oil company in the world, because the anti-monopoly law was forcibly split into more than 20 companies around the world, and then each dominated one side, all of which were the world's top 50 energy companies.

He also knows that Venezuela is the world's largest oil storage country, and he can only remember this because their country's gasoline is too cheap. Let's not compare the price of oil. (T^T)

After thinking for a long time, Zhang Xingming said: "Chevron, Amoco can also be considered, forget the rest, I can't afford it, and I don't dare to buy it." ”

Su Yan covered her mouth, and Xu Lan said, "Well, I'll arrange it." Chevron has invested in the country for 85 years. ”

Zhang Xingming said: "That's right, it's him." ”

Tang Xin came over: "Erming, where do we live?"

Prince Island is the coldest month of the year in July, July, August and September are the dry season, there is little rain, and the temperature is the lowest in the year, and it is also the most comfortable time, more than 20 degrees. July is preceded by a heavy rainy season, followed by a light rainy season, and, moreover, hot. But this climate has brought abundant natural products here, or how to say that the black brothers are raised by nature, and it is no problem to eat without labor.

Zhang Xingming pointed to the woods in the distance: "Over there, there are fruits, bread trees, and coconuts when you are thirsty." If you live, there are so many houses, there are no people, you can choose at will. ”

There were a total of 3,000 people on the whole island, and the two boats pulled them away, and Zhang Xingming and his group were left on the entire island at this time.

Everyone laughed, and Tang thought for a moment and said, "I'll go and smash a few coconuts." "Shout Zhang Qisheng, Wang Honghua went over with him. There are even other people here, not to mention how safe it is, and you can move around freely.
