After Wang Chao and Gu Jianguo inspected several oil wells, they walked to the side of the road and were about to board the car to leave, when suddenly a motorcycle sped by, kicking up a puff of dust.

I don't know how fast it is, but it's true that I almost took Lao Gu around, Wang Chao's eyes were sharp, and he found that the person on the motorcycle was very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, and thought hard: This is not the woman who asked me for a map last time, and threatened not to tell me about the map, but I didn't expect to see it again, but every time she appeared, she always rode a motorcycle, and the speed was fast, it seems that she should either know kung fu or have super riding skills, otherwise driving so fast on an ordinary highway is purely death.

Not thinking about it, the two of them drove to the company's residence - an office building in Cangshi, which is the office rented by Tianyi Oil, which is relatively close to the oil well, so it is convenient to come and check at any time, and there is really no need to work in Yanjing.

It was late, Wang Chao was not in a hurry to go back, stayed in the express hotel near the company, and then the two of them found a home that is said to be the donkey fire - donkey meat fire - the most famous restaurant, legend has it that this is the most authentic donkey fire in Cangshi, has been passed down to the fifth generation, the meat is delicious, unforgettable, and is very famous in the local area.

Sitting next to the window, each person asked for three donkey fires, a bowl of soup, a few side dishes, and a bottle of local "Iron Lion" liquor, and chatted while drinking.

"Mr. Wang, these waste oil wells are considered lucky for us, and we picked them up, do you have any other plans in the future? What are you going to do when the well runs out of oil? ”

"Lao Gu, I have nothing to do with oil production and chemical industry, just because I have a little cooperation with PetroChina, so I chose them to develop a few waste oil wells, which is a fun ticket, if I really let me say what if there is no oil, I guess I can only dissolve the company."

"Oh,...... That's a pity." After Gu Jianguo finished speaking, he picked up the wine glass and took a sip

"Lao Gu, if you have any ideas, just say it, I'll listen to your opinion"

"Mr. Wang, as you know, I have worked in the oil industry for more than 20 years, and I have some understanding of this industry. Oil exploitation is a struggle for resources, and whoever has resources in his hands can make a lot of money. Domestic oil resources belong to the country's economic lifeline, and private enterprises are not allowed to participate, but for the purchase and import of international energy, it has begun to loosen in the past two years. It is no longer monopolized by the three Chinese companies, and private capital is allowed to intervene, but it is also difficult to engage in oil in the international arena without the backing of strong connections and funds. But when it comes to profit margins, it's dominated by the downstream refining industry. You see, some large petrochemical companies in the world are taking the road of a complete industrial chain, such as Mobil, BP, Total, etc., from oil field exploitation to oil cracking, and then to downstream gasoline smelting. and then to the refinement of terminal organic products, which can be described as a real giant. Compared with these three enterprises in China, we are stained with the light of Zhengce monopoly, otherwise they can't even compare with a single hair in the world, and private capital is also allowed to enter the downstream refining industry. So if you have the technology and the money to try it out, or you can join forces with someone else, it's a 100-year plan."

As he spoke. Suddenly, I heard the roar of motorcycles outside, and before long, a long-haired woman walked in with a helmet in her hand. Wang Chao looked up and saw that it was the woman he met last time. And there was a man behind him, who felt a little familiar, and I didn't remember it after thinking about it for a long time.

She seemed to be familiar with the place, said hello to the front desk, and led the man upstairs

Wang Chao's heart moved, secretly thinking that this woman is from this hotel? Or is it a regular here? What did the woman mean on the map where she last threatened her? Could it be that this hotel has some other background?

I thought about it a lot for a while.

“…… If you are interested in this piece, I can introduce a factory to you, they offended PetroChina, usually can't even get crude oil, the factory has been out of production for more than a year, the boss has found a lot of people, but there is no way, is currently preparing to change hands, and the asking price is not high"

"Oh, what did you say? What does this factory do? Where is it? ”

"This factory is not large, there are more than 100 people, including technicians and ordinary workers, mainly producing lubricating oil, but they have their own technology, and the product quality is also good, but there is no raw material production."

"Oh, what's the reason for that?"

"It's not the technology of other people, and I can't buy other people's technology if I want to, but the boss doesn't sell it, so I have to develop it myself. I heard that this boss's technology is very profitable, and he came out of the Bell laboratory in the United States, and is responsible for the research and development of new lubricants. Later, he was poached by the British BP company, stayed for ten years, returned to China to start his own business, but unfortunately did not know how to do business, and was finally forced to a dead end"

"Oh! So this person is very good, then he should really go and meet him" Hearing him say this, Wang Chao also became interested in this

"Okay, see when you have time, I'll arrange it"

"Well, then let's do it for the next three or two days, I don't have anything important."

"Okay, I'll call later, and arrange for you to meet as soon as possible"

……

After drinking a meal of wine that was not considered to be a reception, it was over for more than an hour, Wang Chao went back to the hotel, and Lao Gu returned to the dormitory rented by the company.

"What does that woman have to do with that man? What are they talking about? Who is the old man? ”

Just before leaving, Wang Chao secretly came to the secluded alley behind the hotel under the pretext of going to the toilet, saw that there was no one left and right, jumped to the second floor, grabbed the back window with his hand, looked inside, and happened to see a man and a woman standing in front of a table, and there was a person sitting behind the table with his back to Wang Chao, and his hair was gray.

"Master, I have already verified the map, it is indeed true, the third senior brother is also here today, you can ask him"

I heard a male voice say, "Master, these days I have visited according to the marks on the map, and there is a similar legend circulating in those places, if it is not deliberately spread by someone, it proves that they are all descendants of the year."

"Well, according to what you say, it seems that we are tracking in the right direction, so let's think about it one last time, after so many years, it's not bad for these few days, you guys go back first", the old man with his back to Wang Chao finished speaking. With a wave of his hand, the man and woman clasped their fists and saluted before leaving.

Wang Chao's eyes narrowed: The posture of these two people holding their fists and giving salutes is so strange, not like the ordinary "Zuo Xi and Mourn" fist salute, but the palm of the left hand is straight, the right hand is a fist, and the palm of the left hand touches the fist of the right hand, which is a little strange.

After the two left, Wang Chao was just about to jump off, when suddenly the old man turned his head and smiled at himself outside the window. "Since the friends from outside are here, please come in."

Ah, I didn't expect to be discovered, and I was taken aback.

You must know that since Wang Chao practiced and visualized, coupled with the fact that he learned martial arts, his skill has far surpassed that of his master Li Huanfeng, so he has always been relatively complacent, thinking that although he does not say that he is invincible all over the world, he can be regarded as a top person.

Today may be careless. But in any case, he didn't make the slightest movement outside, how could this old man find out?

I was surprised, but my face was still calm. So he turned over and came in, his feet fell to the ground, and there was no life.

"Ah", wait a minute, see this old man. Wang Chao was even more surprised, it turned out that this old man was actually an old man who was robbed one night when he came to explore the waste oil well last year

"Oh. The young man turned out to be you, fortunately, I was fortunate to be happy, and I said that I wanted to thank you last time, and then I never met you, I didn't expect us to meet here, let's go, go down and eat something, open to eat, I'm full"

"Old man, I didn't expect you to be old, you are really a real person, today I came with a friend, I want to go back first, I know that you are here another day, I will come over to ask for advice"

"It's okay, then you can go back first, you come over at noon tomorrow, this hotel is opened by me, you can come to me directly, by the way, my surname is Xiao"

Wang Chao nodded, hugged the old man and left.

Of course, his fist is the left honor in the rivers and lakes, that is, the left hand is bent outside the right fist, and the old man also stands up and punches him.

Going to the hotel bed at night, turning it over and turning it over is not able to sleep, this old man brought Wang Chao a great shock, this is also the first time he has encountered people who can't see through since he cultivated, especially the eyes of the old man, so that Wang Chao almost didn't dare to stare at it, as if there were two deep pools inside, once he looked at it for a long time, he could attract his own attention, and he couldn't hide from it.

And when he looked at it intently, he couldn't even enter the old man's divine sense, and he couldn't see what the other party was thinking, you must know that this was the first time he had missed since he cultivated his ability.

It turned out that Wang Chao thought that he was the only one in this world who was contemplating and cultivating, and he even had a feeling of being high up in his heart, looking down on all living beings, although he didn't say it, but he had to admit in his heart that he had a feeling of being on top, even if it was the prime minister and chairman of a country, I am afraid it would not bring him too much pressure.

But today's episode has given him a new understanding of himself, and he is not the only one in this world who has this ability.......

With this shock, I fell asleep in a daze, and in the dream, I felt that the old man came to my side and said, "Young man, there are people outside the world, there are heavens outside the sky, don't be proud, this world is not as simple as you think, there are people with special abilities, most people are either willing to be ordinary, or rely on the ability to open up their own world, but they are not known to outsiders......"

The old man was smiling, but there seemed to be a hint of loneliness in the smile, so that Wang Chao couldn't see it clearly, and he didn't know what the old man was trying to express.

The next day, I woke up before dawn, and after eating breakfast, I remembered what they had said last night, and I couldn't help but feel moved: I took the map with five symbols with me, and simply took it out and studied it.

Thinking of this, I found a map stall from my bag and placed it on the bed to look closely.

It is still the five marked points, which are marked in the south, southeast, southwest, middle and north of Hebei Province, of which the location marked in the southwest is Hengzhong City, due south in Handan City, the southeast seems to be in the Taihang Mountains, the middle is in the west of Cangshi, and the north is in the Yanjing area.

After looking at it for a long time, these five points are not related in any way, and they are not equidistant from each other.

Wang Chao's heart moved, and he picked up a pen to connect the five points, but found that it was an irregular pentagon, and it didn't look like anything.

After thinking about it, I simply turned the map around and looked at it, but I still didn't find it

Turning the map over again, there was still nothing to gain

I couldn't help but feel discouraged for a while: it seems that I can't see anything by myself, but since the old man has made an appointment to meet him at noon today, he will test him at that time.

All morning, Wang Chao had been thinking about this in his mind, and he didn't even hear the phone ringing, until the phone rang three times before he woke up, and hurriedly took it to see that it was the local number in Cangshi.

"Hello, I'm Wang Chao, who are you?"

"Hello, I'm from Cangshi Donkey Fire Main Store, would you like to come over at noon today? My master is waiting for you here."

Only then did I remember that I had an appointment with Old Man Xiao today, and I nodded my head and agreed, and the other party said on the phone that the car had stopped at the door of the hotel and was waiting for him

Wang Chao hurriedly packed his things, put the map in his bag, thought about it, carried the bag on his back, and walked out of the door of the hotel, and found that a very ordinary Jetta sedan was parked at the door of the hotel, and a young man in his thirties stood at the door of the car.

Seeing Wang Chao come out and hurriedly greet him, "Mr. Wang, please get in the car"

After speaking, he pulled the car door and asked him to get into the car.

It's back to the hotel from yesterday.

I didn't look carefully at the night of last night, and I found out today that this donkey fire store covers a lot of area, and the decoration is antique, from the appearance I don't know that this is a hotel, gray glazed tiles, red paint front pillars, carved with two dragons spitting beads, look at this appearance, if you don't know, I think it's a museum or something like a building.

There are a lot of people coming in and out of the gate, and it seems that they are all here to eat, and it seems that business is very good.

The young man parked the car, took Wang Chao around the gate to the back of the yard, there was also a small gate here, walked in, Wang Chao found out: a good wide yard, about 30 meters from east to west, dug an artificial lake in the yard, in the middle is to do the island in the middle of the lake, there is a pavilion built on the island, and there is a curved corridor leading to the land on all sides, there is an artificial waterfall on the island in the middle of the lake, and there are koi fish swimming around in the lake shaking their heads and tails.

The courtyard was quiet, and the young man took Wang Chao around the artificial lake, directly to the north, through a moon gate, and it was an open field, the ground was paved with blue stones, not even a single leaf, and there were four wings on each side.

To the north again, through a bright hall, and came to a courtyard, where someone was talking, the young man came here and shouted, "The guest has arrived", and then waved his hand to invite Wang Chao in, and turned to leave. (To be continued......)
