Chapter 556: High Risk Leads to High Reward

At this moment. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xu Cun is located at 1,600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW in Washington, D.C., the White House, the official residence and office of the President of the United States.

As soon as he entered the White House, Xu Cun was immediately full of emotion!

Counting the White House, Xu Cun has gone to the political holy places of the world's three major powers, China, the United States, and the Soviet Union -- this is something that the vast majority of people, including the leaders of the three major countries, have never experienced.

On the other hand, President Reagan is definitely not good to find Xu Cun, a person who has just made a big deal in the United States, in this special period, and Xu Cun is a little worried!

Accompanied by George W. Bush, Xu Cun first met with Bush Sr., the current vice president of the United States.

Prior to this, Xu Cun, who had a close relationship with the Bush family, had also met Bush Sr., but Xu Cun was not on the stage at that time, at least not enough for Bush Sr. to make friends personally.

Therefore, when Bush Sr. saw Xu Cun at that time, at most, he nodded to Xu Cun or said one or two words of encouragement to Xu Cun.

But-

After this stock market crash, Bush Sr.'s attitude toward Xu Cun is obviously different from the past.

As soon as he saw Xu Cun, Bush Sr. sent Bush Jr. away, and then personally took Xu Cun to see President Reagan.

On the way, the elder Bush reminded Xu Cun in a voice that was not big but enough for Xu Cun to hear very clearly: "You don't have to worry, the president is looking for you just to let you participate in the rescue of the city." ”

After listening to Bush Sr.'s reminder, Xu Cun immediately said: "Thank you, uncle, for reminding me!"

Bush Sr. added: "You have made so much money in the United States this time, it is unjustifiable not to come up with some bailouts, not only you, but they will also be found." ”

Speaking of which, Bush Sr. suggested: "I suggest that you might as well invest more, preferably to create more jobs, which will be good for you." ”

Next year, that is, in 1988, the elder Bush will be elected president of the United States. Therefore, the advice given to Xu Cun by Bush Sr. will of course be adopted by Xu Cun without much trouble.

It is precisely because of this that Xu Cun immediately said: "If my idea can be passed, I can spend all the money I earn from the United States in the United States this time, and I can even add a large amount of investment." ”

Bush Sr. glanced at Xu Cun, and then asked quietly, "What do you think?"

Xu Cun said: "I want to build an oil and gas pipeline under the Pacific Ocean to sell Canadian oil and gas to the Asia-Pacific region, and if the US government and the US Congress agree to me to build this pipeline, then all the materials and personnel needed to build the pipeline to Asia will be provided by the United States." I have asked people to calculate that a conservative estimate of this pipeline can directly provide 100,000 high-paying jobs for the United States, if one of the purposes is to solve the employment problem in the United States, this pipeline can directly provide 200,000 high-paying jobs for the United States, and if you count low- and medium-paid jobs and derivative jobs, it is conservatively estimated that this pipeline can provide more than 5 million jobs for the United States. ”

After listening to Xu Cun's 'Canada-Pacific' oil and gas pipeline plan, Bush Sr. was silent for a long time before saying, "What is the nature of this company?"

Xu Cun replied: "I am a sole proprietorship. ”

Bush Sr. shook his head and said, "This is impossible, such a critical pipeline must have US companies as shares." ”

Xu Cun said leisurely: "I personally don't mind having partners, but are there any American companies that are willing to invest a lot of money in this oil company that will definitely lose money for a long time in the future?"

At present, the US strategy towards the Soviet Union is to thaw its strategic petroleum reserves, let the "oil tyrant" Saudi Arabia increase oil production again and again, and push the price of oil as low as it can, so as to bring down the Soviet Union.

In fact, one of the persons in charge of this plan is Bush Sr., and after Bush Sr. takes the presidency, Bush Sr. personally promotes this plan.

Therefore, it can be said that no one knows better than Bush Sr. that no American company will ever invest a lot of money in Xu Cun's oil company.

And the big oil companies that can build nearly 10,000 meters of pipelines under the Pacific Ocean cannot invest a lot of money in them, and they simply cannot own too many shares.

Taking a step back, even if one or two foolish American companies really jump into the fire pit of Xu Cun's oil company, sooner or later they will definitely take the initiative to jump out again because they can't support it.

After pondering for a long time, the elder Bush asked Xu Cun: "Since you can see the general trend of the oil industry, why do you still put money into it?"

Xu Cun smiled: "I bet on the future of the oil industry, and I believe that the oil industry will be able to restore its rightful economic status one day." ”

Bush Sr. seemed to be mentioning Xu Cun: "But this time may be very long." ”

Xu Cun said with a firm gaze: "High risk has high reward!"

Feeling that his words were a little stiff, Xu Cun smiled again: "Besides, I am only twenty-seven years old, even if I wait for thirty years, I can afford to wait." ”

Listening to Xu Cun talk about his age, Bush Sr. realized that Xu Cun was a teenager younger than his son Bush Jr.

This consciousness made the elder Bush attach a little more importance to Xu Cun -- even if he looked at it with a harsh eye, Xu Cun had faintly risen to become a prince, so it was very meaningful for the Bush family to be able to obtain the friendship of Xu Cun's princes for half a century or even longer!

Bush Sr. changed the subject and said: "Who are you going to let build the pipeline in Asia?"

Xu Cun replied: "Whichever country buys my oil, I will let that country build it." ”

Xu Cun's answer is reasonable, because only in this way can Xu Cun face the smallest obstacles, and the oil and gas pipeline that Xu Cun wants to build can be completed.

Bush Sr. thought for a moment and said: "The Middle East side ......"

Xu Cun smiled and said: "Isn't it good for the United States to have one more choice? Moreover, this pipeline of mine is absolutely under the control of the United States." ”

Canada is sandwiched between the east and west parts of the United States, and the United States can cut off Xu Cun's oil and gas pipelines by sending a warship at will, so Xu Cun is not wrong at all to say that his pipeline is absolutely under the control of the United States.

Xu Cun's reminder made Bush Sr.'s heart move -- there are no permanent friends in this world, only eternal interests, and that is, Saudi Arabia now needs the protection of the United States and listens to the United States, but who knows whether Saudi Arabia will always be like this? If Xu Cun's 'Canada-Pacific' oil and gas pipeline can be built, if Saudi Arabia is disobedient, then Xu Cun, who has been choked by the United States, can become an excellent alternative.

Thinking of this, the elder Bush smiled faintly and stopped talking.

Seeing that Bush Sr. seemed to be moved by what he said, Xu Cun, who was following Bush Sr., also smiled secretly in his heart -- Yes, in the future, the main valve of the 'Canada-Pacific' oil and gas pipeline will be in the hands of the United States, but we must not forget that all the sub-valves leading to various parts of the Asia-Pacific region will be in Xu Cun's hands in the future. Therefore, without Xu Cun's cooperation, the United States will not want to cut off any country's oil and natural gas, unless the United States dares to take the risk of public anger and cut off the oil and gas supply of the entire Asia-Pacific region.

Moreover, if all goes well, Xu Cun will not only have the 'Canada-Pacific' oil and gas pipeline in his hands in the future......
