c_t; Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Mukden has entered the depths of winter and is coming to the end of the year.

At this time, Fengtian was still in full swing of construction, and the development of Fengtian did not cool down in the slightest with the arrival of midwinter, but the number of farmers rushing to Fengtian was greatly reduced due to the climate.

Now, General Shengjing's Mansion has received another great piece of good news.

In the General's Mansion, Zhang Yi was talking with a guest from the United States, and this guest was John Jr., an important member of the Rockefeller family who rushed to hear the news after Tian Xiali sent the information back to the United States? d？ Rockefeller!

When the Rockefeller family gets the news of the discovery of a large oil field in Northeast China, the whole group must be excited, this will be another new continent that the Rockefeller family has discovered in the oil industry, China! There's oil there, too, and there's not a single oil company there!

Rockefeller immediately made a decision and appointed his most trusted son, John Jr., to lead a huge oil exploration team to China, and after more than a month of schedule, he arrived in Mukden.

After arriving in Mukden, Zhang Yi personally received them, and at the same time arranged for Wu Yangzeng, the general office of the Mining Bureau, to accompany the American delegation to conduct oil exploration in Mukden as the chief representative.

Zhang Yi's subordinates circled a few positions on the map of Fengtian, explained to Wu Yangzeng, and focused on accompanying the survey team led by Little John to survey the geology.

After more than a month, the engineering team brought by John Jr. first confirmed the general area of the oil field, and then conducted a comprehensive assessment of the oil and mineral resources in the area.

Recently, it was finally confirmed that the prospective oil reserves in the Liaohe River area will exceed one billion tons, and the recoverable short-term reserves will also be more than 100 million tons. Investing here will bring no less than billions of dollars to the Rockefeller Corporation!

Little John, ecstatic, now the Rockefeller family's oil investment in Tsarist Russia is experiencing the squeezing out of the Russians, and the international market competition is very fierce, and now it is in the Liaohe area. The discovery of such a large oil field is really a timely rain.

But. Little John also knows very well that Zhang Yi, the supreme ruler of Shengjing, is a very shrewd person, and from Tian Xiali's intelligence, it can be found that Zhang Yi's interests are very clear, that is, with the help of foreign funds and technology to promote the social and economic development of Fengtian Province by leaps and bounds, without quite attractive interests, I am afraid it is difficult to obtain the right to oil production in Fengtian.

In the world, now it is about to reach such a big piece of fat in the mouth. If you want Little John to spit it out, it will inevitably reach the sky, and Little John is determined to take the Liaohe Oilfield no matter what.

In this way, at the strong request of Little John, Zhang Yi personally came forward to receive Little John and the important members of Rockefeller's visit to China at the General's Mansion.

Little John looked excited and said to Zhang Yi: "Dear General Zhang, I am honored to tell you. After two months of hard work by our technicians, we have preliminarily confirmed our exploration results, and there are rich oil deposits in the lower reaches of the Liaohe River. How about you hand over all the rights to this oil field to us, and of course we will give you an offer that you can't refuse? ”

Zhang Yi smiled faintly and said: "Dear Mr. John, it seems that you still don't understand the situation of our Qing Kingdom, for the imperial court, our Queen Mother and His Majesty the Emperor will resolutely not allow us to sell the right of way and mining rights." This is our bottom line, I am willing to cooperate with your company to develop this oil field in the future, but sorry, I have no right to resell the mining rights and exploitation rights of this oil field to you, and it is difficult for any international friends to obtain all the rights of this oil field. ”

Little John's eyes flashed, thinking about Zhang Yi's answer, he originally wanted to buy out the entire oil field at a suitable price, so that the operation of the entire oil field would be completely separated from the Fengtian General's Mansion, but let's not talk about whether the price is right or not, the current Shengjing General's Mansion has no intention of transferring this oil field at all, how can this be good?

Little John pondered and replied: "General Zhang, with all due respect, I think that the development of oil fields, refining oil, and deep processing, at present, your country does not have such strength, and your country seriously lacks the corresponding talents, technology and equipment in this field, I don't know how you plan to work with us to exploit oil fields." ”

Zhang Yi smiled and replied: "Mr. John, in fact, it is very simple, your country will provide technology and capital, and our Shengjing General's Mansion will produce oil fields, land and manpower, and we will join forces to jointly develop the oil fields, and the profits will be equalized, isn't it very good?" ”

John's face changed, General Shengjing's mansion had such a big appetite, little John smiled: "General Zhang, the funds needed to develop the oil field are often millions of dollars, even tens of millions of dollars, including countless equipment and technical personnel, you want to develop the oil field with us, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to raise such a large amount of funds, right?" Now the financial income of the entire Mukden is only five or six million US dollars, even if you use all of it to develop the oil fields, I am afraid that it will not be enough, right? ”

Zhang Yi said with a smile: "Mr. John, I just said clearly, I take out the oil field, and at the same time are responsible for the land and manpower workers, and you are responsible for the capital and technology, this is reciprocal, do I hand over my oil field to you for exploitation, and the income is evenly distributed, and you still want me to contribute capital?" I am well aware of the potential value of this oil field, even in the short term, I am afraid that it can achieve hundreds of millions of benefits, and you want to take it away in one sentence, which is too whimsical. ”

John's face gradually turned cold, what he wants is all the income from the oil fields, he doesn't want to have any more things in the Baku area of Tsarist Russia, and now he is being squeezed out by Baku very much, although he is also turning a lot of money, but now Tsarist Russia's oil investment is too nerve-wracking for him, and it is very tricky to deal with, and Rockefeller's income has been greatly affected.

John said: "General Zhang, as businessmen, what we care most about is to make money steadily, we are willing to contribute, a huge amount of money, to take away the ownership of the entire oil field, we can even pay taxes according to the laws of your country, a lot of money, but at the same time we do not want you to have any interference in our development of the oil field." ”

Zhang Yi still smiled lightly and replied firmly: "I'm sorry, I can't agree to your conditions, if the entire oil field is transferred to you, that traitor's hat will crush me to death, and I can't afford it." ”

John replied, "Then General Zhang, why don't you listen to my offer first?" ”

Zhang Yi's face sank and said, "I'm sorry, I'm not interested in any offer to buy the ownership of the entire oil field!" (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
