Chapter 590: The Merchant's Face
Seeing that these people don't give face, Zhang Rang is very unhappy in his heart, although he wants to drive them away in his heart, but these investors have a large number of half-done projects in their hands.
In order to complete these projects as soon as possible and provide a good living environment for the Somali people, Zhang Rang could only pinch his nose and admit it first, and everything was settled after the autumn.
He smiled and said to everyone in the investment team: "I know everyone is in a hurry, but I have good news to tell you here, we have discovered the world's largest oil field in Somalia outside the port of Bossaso, and the afternoon is when the oil is spewed out, I want you to go with me to see, I don't know if you have that time." ”
What is oil, in this era when oil is the only currency, oil is money, hearing Zhang Rang's words, everyone was embarrassed for a moment, just now they were sneering because they had no money, but the next moment the other party became rich again, and the people in front of them didn't know how to deal with themselves.
However, who doesn't make money if they have money, the reason for the withdrawal is that Somalia has no oil, and now there is oil, according to Zhang Rang, it is still the world's largest oil field.
After a short period of embarrassment, everyone immediately changed their minds and put on smiling faces together, especially the person who mocked Zhang Rang just now, and said to Zhang Rang with compliments: "Your Excellency, I don't know how much oil your oil field can produce per day." ”
This is the topic that everyone is most concerned about, if it is a small oil field, there is no way to repay their project money, so, they have to leave, but if it is a big oil field, then they must stay, after all. Who doesn't make money if they have money.
Before coming, Hailong had already given Zhang Rang a thorough explanation, and Hailong told Zhang Rang. This dug oil field is actually a part of the large oil fields in the Middle East, including all the oil from Babylon, Kuwait and Iran. Now it's all coming to their own country.
Zhang Rang, who had the exact news, was now confident, and confidently stretched out a finger to the many investment delegations in front of him and said: "I might as well tell you that this oil field we have newly discovered is definitely the world's largest oil field, and it is expected that the daily oil production can reach 1.16o million barrels, and the total reserves." Up to 3ooo more than 100 million barrels. ”
This figure is exactly the sum of the oil reserves and daily oil production of the three Middle East countries combined, but Zhang Rang still missed one thing, because Middle Eastern countries drill down for oil, so they need equipment to pump.
And because the latitude of Somalia is much lower than that of the Middle East, in fact, the bottom height of the large oil fields in the Middle East is a little higher than the latitude of Somalia, which leads to the fact that Somali oil is spewed out, not pumped out, so more oil can be obtained.
So, Somalia actually produces more oil.
Zhang asked the investment teams from various countries to take it to the vicinity of the big pit dug by the Dragon King. The city of Bossaso is located in a very flat area, although surrounded by mountains. But it is far from the city of Bossaso, especially the suburbs of Bossaso near the port, and it is an endless grassland.
At the beginning, investment teams from all over the world, when they were in Bossaso, also came to this area and saw the primeval savannah with their own eyes, and investors from all over the world were very excited.
However, it has only been a month since they last visited. How come it has only been a month, and this place has become a huge crater with a diameter of 1,000 meters.
A large crater with a diameter of 1,000 meters. Standing around the big pit, everyone had to sigh. The magnificence of this big pit, especially the bottomless depth of this big pit, everyone is constantly admiring.
The accompanying investor asked excitedly: "Your Excellency, I remember that when we came here last month, this was still an endless prairie, how come it has become a bottomless pit in just one month?" ”
Zhang Rang smiled and said, "I know, you don't believe in our gods, but I have to tell you that this is a masterpiece of the gods." ”
Although this big pit is very charming, but for these people who see money is more important than life, oil is the most important, some investors shrugged their shoulders and asked Zhang Rang, and said: "Your Excellency the President, although this big pit is very charming, but we are here to see the oil field, not to listen to you tell your Lord God, can you take us to see the oil field first, so that we can also have a bottom in our hearts." ”
Although the crowd was amazed by the pit, they would have to leave if there was no oil.
Looking at the expressions of the people in front of him, Zhang Rang stood on the edge of the big pit and said with a smile: "Don't you still understand, this big pit is the oil field I said in my mouth, in this place behind me, in a few hours, there will be a huge amount of oil gushing out of this big pit." ”
Hearing Zhang Rang's words, everyone was surprised for a moment and didn't know what to say, looked at Zhang Rang, and then looked at the big pit behind him, someone said: "Your Excellency President, how can there be oil in this place, you know, it is still possible to dig out the spring here, and it is impossible to dig out the oil." ”
Zhang Rang looked at the direction of the Dragon Temple reverently, prayed, and then said to everyone: "God told us that there should be oil in Somalia, so God created this oil field that can spew out inexhaustible oil fields on the edge of the port of Bossaso, don't worry, wait, there are only a few hours, and the oil will come out." ”
In Somalia, there is no reason to talk about the dragon god as soon as it is involved, although many investors have also seen the scene of the priest using magic to save people, but the high-achieving students who have received a Western scientific education absolutely do not believe that it is magic, but stubbornly believe that it is the dragon god cult that uses some deception that they cannot understand.
The person who has been healed and the person who uses magic to save people are two people in the same group, but such words can be said in the heart, and on the bright side, those who dare to say this have been killed.
When I first came to Bossaso, some people did not respect the dragon god and were torn to pieces by the Somalis who swarmed up, and they still remember that scene, after hearing Zhang Rang's words, everyone knew that even if they wanted to leave, they couldn't leave now, because Zhang Rang mentioned the dragon god.
Knowing that everyone still didn't believe it, Zhang Rang pointed to the port in the distance and said, "You can understand the direction of the port if you look at it." ”
Hundreds of huge pumps that are responsible for pumping oil have been placed in a kilometer-long pit on the outskirts of Bossaso, where the thick pipes connected to the pumps are connected directly to the port.
There are nearly 100 oil tankers of more than 100,000 tons from all over the world, and the long queue almost blocked the entire river, and behind these ships, there are countless oil tankers rushing here.
After not a drop of oil was produced in the oil fields of the three Middle Eastern countries, oil merchants from all over the world were anxiously about to pull out their hair.
Although the whole world does not understand why such a thing happened at the same time in the three Middle Eastern countries, it is a huge opportunity for speculators to make money.
At the beginning, a typhoon in the Persian Gulf could make the international crude oil price rise by several dollars per barrel, not to mention that now the oil supply of the three Middle East countries has completely stopped, and the global oil supply has decreased by 15% for a while.
Looking at the skyrocketing prices, the businessmen pulled their hair one by one, frustrating why they had signed oil contracts with Saudi Arabia and other countries in the first place, but with these three countries.
Now the businessmen who buy Saudi oil have already made a lot of money, and these businessmen who have signed agreements with the three Middle East countries can only helplessly dock their ships at the ports of the three countries and wait for the latest news.
At this time, Somalia announced that it had discovered a very large oil field and was willing to immediately enter into an agreement with businessmen to sell the oil.
It is only a few hundred kilometers from the three Middle Eastern countries to Somalia, and large cruise ships can reach it in a few hours, and all the businessmen seem to be crazy, and they have driven the ships in the ports of the three countries and come straight to the port of Bossaso.
At this time, the businessmen of various countries, where can they take into account the warnings of the magnesium people, making money is the first thing, the first to reach the port of Bossaso is the Greek businessman, the 5o-year-old Greek oil giant Vasiles, is very satisfied that his fleet can be the first to reach Bossaso.
As the largest oil giant in Greece, Vasilez has three huge oil smelting and processing plants, as well as six oil by-product processing plants, and most importantly, ten oil tankers of 3o thousand tons.
I thought that the magnesium country had opened its control over Babylon and signed an oil agreement with Babylon, so I would no longer have to worry about the problem of oil, but Babylon suddenly ran out of oil, which caused Basilez to suffer heavy losses.
Not to mention that the domestic refineries are about to run out of oil, the daily losses of these ten 3o million tons of oil tankers alone are as high as hundreds of thousands of dollars, which makes Vasilez feel distressed to death.
Now that there is finally a new way to obtain oil, Basilez finally relaxes and sits leisurely in the lounge specially prepared for guests, sipping the best coffee.
After drinking a cup of coffee comfortably, Vasirez leaned back on the sofa, comfortably crossed his legs and took out a Cuban cigar and smoked it.
When the female secretary next to her saw the boss's appearance, she knew that the boss was enjoying it very much now, but as a secretary, she was still a little worried about the boss's behavior this time, and the secretary said: "Boss, if we do this, will we offend the magnesium people." ”
Seeing that his secretary cared so much about him, Basarez spat out a smoke ring and said with a smile: "Baby, don't worry, look at the fleet behind, the people of the magnesium country have not yet dared to offend all these people." ”
Looking at the hundreds of ships of dozens of companies behind him, the secretary's worried heart finally eased.
The investment teams of various countries followed Zhang Rang to the port, and saw the countless oil tankers lined up from the port to the horizon that could not be seen by the eyes, and the investment businessmen of various countries did not expect that the battle in Somalia this time would be so big.
The businessmen who were still worried about Zhang Rang's deception were all relieved at this time, if Zhang Rang was really deceiving, it would be impossible to let oil tankers from various countries come over. (To be continued)
