Chapter 368: We Have Oil
In this era, what is the most likely to make a fortune? Some people may say that it is food, technology, or the Internet, but in Liu Tao's view, the road to wealth that has remained unchanged for thousands of years is energy. It's like medicine and food, which will never be replaced by anything anyway. Energy is the blood of this era, without energy, it is impossible to imagine what the world will do in the end, so the richest person in the world is not Bill, nor the horse boss of Huaguo or the real estate tycoon Wang Boss, but those oil chieftains in the Middle East.
Liu Tao has long taken a fancy to the rich land in the Middle East, but he has not found a suitable breakthrough, and the country has unsealed several large oil fields because of Liu Tao's technology, and now Liu Tao can get a huge amount of income from the country just every month if he doesn't do anything. In addition, Boyuan has cooperated with large and small coal mines across the country, and this income is also one of Boyuan's main financial revenues.
Oil is the lifeblood of this industrial era, and it is also the industrial blood of this era. Liu Tao now also holds absolutely rich oil resources in his hands, and has not been able to sell them on a large scale, not only because of the price of oil, but also because of the impact of oil on the international market.
Those tyrants in the Middle East are very rich, their money may even be richer than Bill, the richest man in the world, they are also very good at spending, they like all kinds of enjoyment, beautiful champagne, luxury cars and mansions, these are all things they like. Of course, they also don't spend a little bit of money that is just a small amount of money for them to buy some art to prove their taste. This time, Boyuan invited the world's richest people to participate in this auction. The purpose is not only to protect Christie's, of course, but also to promote its own products.
"Hello, Mr. Aemond, please be seated."
"Thank you, Mr. Liu, for your hospitality, I didn't expect Mr. Liu to speak Arabic so fluently."
As a tyrant in the Middle East, Edmond really didn't expect that the biggest tyrant in China would be the first to receive him, although it was not a surprise and honor to be received by a tyrant in China in Aemond's heart, but it still made this little black man who was less than 1.7 meters tall a little excited.
"It never hurts to learn more, Mr. Aemond, first of all, to thank you for supporting us so much this time. Traveled thousands of miles to participate in this auction. "Liu Tao naturally can't sue him, I don't know your language at all. If it weren't for the Alpha Ghost to know what you were saying, I wouldn't have known.
"Thank you Mr. Liu for your kind invitation, you know, we are both art lovers, my grandfather and father are very fond of antiques. Of course, I'm not the other myself. Edmond and Liu Tao talked about the history of his family. Then he praised Boyuan Group and Liu Tao fiercely. Naturally, both sides were happy.
"Mr. Aemond, we always know that you like sculpture, so we specially chose this thing for you. Hope you enjoy it. Mi Yulian put a B.C. Egyptian sculpture in front of Aemond, who boasted that he liked cultural relics, did not move his eyes, for him this is just a statue, the ghost likes these things, these things are far less real than luxury cars, champagne, and beautiful women.
Liu Tao looked at it all in his eyes, and naturally did not speak, before looking for this Aemond, Liu Tao naturally investigated all the habits of the Middle Eastern tyrant in front of him. This is a typical nouveau riche, but there are some differences with the nouveau riche, that is, this spending habit and his income are not on the same line at all. He is a small oil tycoon in the Middle East, with only a small oil well on his land, and the production is not very large.
When a person's desires do not match his income, it is when a person is at his most vulnerable. Of course, the oil market that Liu Tao wants is not only the domestic market, the Japanese part is already negotiating with the Yamaguchi-gumi, and it is very likely that they will open a gap on a small scale, but at least, Liu Tao needs to find a reasonable source for his oil and a reasonable export path.
Aemond is a good object, in the Middle East, where no one wants to be looked down upon, golden chariots, super mansions, and even tiger and leopard pets, all built on oil. Aemond loves money, but it's a pity that he's just a little chief, his land isn't good, and the oil in the ground can't support the heavenly life he wants.
"Mr. Aemond, if I could bring you the enough profit you want, would you choose to work with me?" Liu Tao smiled and played with the sculpture on the table and said to Aemond, which suddenly made Aemond, who was a little distracted, come to his senses.
"I don't know what Mr. Liu said?"
"Land and oil, I know you have an oil field under your name, but it's not big, according to my company's investigation, your income can't meet your current life, but I can." Liu Tao doesn't beat around the bush with Aemond, doing business is gradual, but unfortunately Liu Tao doesn't like it, Liu Tao prefers to negotiate directly and straightforwardly with the other party, Aemond needs money, Liu Tao needs a cover It's that simple.
Aemond's eyes lit up when he heard Liu Tao's words, he had heard all the rumors about Boyuan Group, and if Boyuan could meddle in his business, he would definitely be able to meet the life he wanted. It's just that Aemond can't figure out what Liu Tao means now, oil and land? He has both of these things in his hands, especially the land, and he still has a large area of wasteland in his hands, but unfortunately there is no oil in that land, and if there is no oil, I believe that few people will be interested in that wasteland.
Oil is good business, oil is big business, but Aemond knows exactly how much he has. In that Middle East, of course, there are times when you can poke oil out with a stick, but unfortunately it is not his territory. Aemond has already exported the oil he produces every month to European countries, and now there is still a long time before the end of the contract, if he breaks the contract now, he will definitely pay an astronomical amount of breach of contract, for this, Edmond has never doubted that he will not choose to default.
"I need this piece of land." Liu Tao pointed to the map of the Middle East and said to Aemond, as a landlord, Aemond immediately discovered that the land was his private land, but unfortunately, that land was a vast desert, and it had already been proven that there was no oil underneath.
"Mr. Aemond, now I need you to make a decision, and that is whether or not you want to cooperate with me." Liu Tao smiled and took out a copy of the text and pressed it under his hand: "This thing can only be seen by you, simply explain to you, if you choose to cooperate with me, it is very simple, I can guarantee you at least 20 million US dollars of income every month, if you just sell this land to me, and do not cooperate, then there is no need to read this article." ”
"I don't know what Mr. Liu's article is about?" Aemond was blindsided by Liu Tao's words, and he obviously didn't think of what Liu Tao meant.
"Oil, as I said, is the only one in your land that can interest me, how about it? Mr. Aemond, you have a day to consider that as long as we cooperate, you will earn at least five times as much as you do now. ”
"Five-fold?" This figure obviously made Aemond's heart move, five times the income, which was enough for him to maintain his current extravagant life, and it could further make his life better.
"There's no oil in this land."
"It's not up to you to decide whether there is oil or not, it's up to me." Liu Tao smiled and said something that made Aemond's face change suddenly, Aemond likes money very much, but this does not mean that he is very stupid, on the contrary, he is very smart, Liu Tao's words are hidden in what he knows better than anyone else.
What Liu Tao needs is not his oil, but he needs to find a qualified agent for his own oil, and this agent is Aemond, or at all, it is not an agent at all, but all he needs is a leather bag company. Aemond looked at Liu Tao, and Liu Tao also looked at Aemond with a smile. Aemond looked at the map of the Middle East in front of him and the text pressed under Liu Tao's hand, and his heart was constantly making trade-offs.
"May I ask a question?"
"Of course, as you wish."
Aemond pointed to the map on the table, and looked at Liu Tao sharply: "Why didn't you choose here?" The environment here is much better than here, and there is a good chance that there is oil here. Also, why didn't you choose him and me instead? ”
"Very well, Mr. Aemond, you asked two questions, but I will give you the answers."
"Mr. Aemond, as you know, the foundation of our Boyuan company is high-tech energy purification technology, we have basically completed the transformation of the coal industry in China, and we have begun to look for ways to export the surplus coal produced in China every year, and have reached agreements with several countries. Energy, one coal, one oil, the next major energy object of our company is oil, I think Mr. Edmond you should be able to understand. ”
"As for why I chose you, it's simple." Liu Tao snapped his fingers and said to Aemond: "You need money, I need land, and the reason for choosing to cooperate with you is as simple as that." ”
"You have your own oil field?"
"Yes or no, who cares? The important thing is that we have oil, enough oil to supply the whole world! (To be continued......)
