Chapter 1278 Oil Empire Prequel

Under the scorching sun of the Persian Gulf, fresh water is as precious as gold, where water is the root of everything, there is an oasis with water, there are people living in an oasis, and the inhabited land is valuable, and the uninhabited land is a worthless desert. Pen & Fun& Pavilion www.biquge.info but south of Kuwait City, near the Persian Gulf, this land known locally as the Bulgan Desert -- this is really a scandal that the entire Turkish Empire is ashamed of, and the once rich and luxurious empire has become so embarrassed that it cannot even take the dowry of the Sultan's daughter, and has to make up the amount with a worthless piece of desert. , Kunshan Hou Zhuheng doesn't care about the amount of dowry at all. In fact, he also offered to ask for the Bulgan Desert as a dowry.

, tall and handsome, personable,. Like the heartthrob's sister, he also has a very good head. However, his ingenuity was not used in science, but in business. He is now the commercial representative of HSBC in the Turkish Empire and the owner of a small oil company whose main business is to find and open oil in the Turkish Empire.

The age of oil has not yet fully arrived. Now the biggest use of oil is to replace whale oil as a lighting material, and the demand is not too great. However, Zhu Heng's scientist sister, Zhu Yisha, who had just become an academician of the Daming Academy of Sciences because of the purification of gallium metal, told him with certainty. Oil will definitely become an important industrial raw material in the future, and it will turn into black gold!

Zhu Heng and his two wives, Luo Yalian (Luo Junqi's daughter) from the Lan Fang Luo family, the western sky is like a piece of golden-purple silk, blooming with bright brilliance. The desolate desert also shimmers brightly, and the sand takes on an alluring gold-like color as the setting sun shines. It seems to indicate that this desert will bring countless wealth to Zhu Heng in the future.

"It's so beautiful here," Luo Yalian said. While taking a pot of cold wine, he took it from his attendant and handed it to his husband Zhu Heng. She graduated from the Business School of Jeshi University and was in the same class as Zhu Heng. In college, he was glued to Zhu Heng, and in his junior year, he married the prince charming recognized by the school. I don't know how many girls from Jeshi University and Huangcheng Public School have broken their hearts.

"We can build a palace by the sea in the future, and we can come and live here for a while every winter." Luo Yalian smiled at her husband. She's also a pretty girl, just a little darker. He is not tall, almost a head shorter than Zhu Heng, and he stands next to his husband with a little bit of a bird.

Then she turned her head to look at Princess Medixia, who looked like a porcelain doll, and said with a smile, "This is really a good dowry." ”

"It's a pity that there is nothing but sand." Princess Medicia sighed with some regret. The Turkish Sultan who is now in power is his uncle, not his father, otherwise, the empire would be poor. Nor will he use a desert as a dowry...... You must know that in order to marry himself, Zhu Heng took out gold equivalent to ten times his weight!

As a matter of fact. Juheng is not the first person to marry a Turkish princess at this price. Before him, marrying a Harry's daughter as queen obviously also had the consideration of entrapping the forces of the True God Cult. Of course, the Black Emperor himself was a believer in Roman Catholicism, and Catholicism was also the state religion of the Black Empire.

"In the future, of course, there won't be just sand here!"

Zhu Heng and Luo Yalian looked at each other and smiled. Marrying a Turkish princess and then asking for the Bulgan desert as a dowry is a business venture that the two of them decide together. Because their oil company has already found oil in the Bulgan desert under the guidance of a mysterious person......

Although Luo Yalian is reluctant to share her husband with other women in her heart, everyone knows that this is an inevitable thing - Zhu Heng is not only rich and handsome, but also has an emperor's father and a bunch of brothers who are kings, and he is also a very favored one of Zhu Jishi's many heirs, he has long been the king of a country, such a man is destined to marry Luo Yalian alone, who makes her not an English princess like Helena - when she married Zhu Heng, Luo Yalian had such an awareness.

"It's getting late, it's time for us to go back to Kuwait City." Zhu Heng glanced at the desert that already belonged to him, "Today we will rest early, and tomorrow we will leave for China." ”

"Returning home tomorrow?" Luo Yalian looked at her husband and frowned, "It's because of the dispute with the British...... Will there be a war? ”

"Oh my God, it's going to be war again!" Princess Medicia exclaimed. She still remembers the scene of the fall of Istanbul, which is the most profound memory of her childhood.

"Not necessarily, but my brother went to China from Europe, and the old man wanted me to take a ride and contact brotherhood by the way." Zhu Heng said with a smile. He had a good relationship with all his siblings, except for King Jujuan of Donghua, because the two brothers never met.

"Your brother? Which one is it? Luo Yalian asked with some curiosity.

"It's Juan, King of Donghua." Zhu Heng smiled, "Donghua is a very rich and powerful country, and it will be even richer and stronger in the future!" And this younger brother of mine prefers mixed races, a mixed race born of yellow East Asian and white Westerners like me. I think I'll be able to be good friends with him. This will be good for our oil company, because oil is also present on the land of Donghua. ”

……

Brass trumpets played high, stirring up the sweltering air in Kuwait Harbor. When Juheng and his two wives walked aboard the huge ironclad USS Mexico, Jujuan had the trumpet blowing to welcome them.

"You're Henry?" Wearing a black military uniform and tanned skin by the sun, Jujuan looked at the handsome and somewhat jealous Zhu Heng and smiled, "Sure enough, he is a beautiful man, very similar to Elizabeth." ”

Jujuan had only spent a few days with Zhu Yisha ten years ago, but he had a deep impression of his half-sister in his mind. "I heard that Elizabeth is married? All the princes of Europe wept over it...... But for their sisters, it was good news. ”

Juan's words surprised Ju Heng a little, he had heard that his younger brother of the king was withdrawn and difficult to approach. I didn't expect to joke with myself as soon as we met.

"Those princes should be glad that my sister is actually quite a boring woman, and her current interest is in scientific research, and she spends her days in the laboratory, and has become a member of the Academy of Sciences before she is 25 years old. That is, Zheng Zhongcheng, that nerd, gets along with her. Zhu Heng said with a haha.

"Haha, then I can discuss math with her." Juan laughed. "Henry, how are you? I heard that the old man only gave you a marquis? ”

"I'm a businessman, I just have a business to do." Zhu Heng shook his head indifferently and said with a smile, "And I have so many king brothers, business must be very good." ”

"Really?" Jujuan nodded noncommittally, he didn't believe that the old man would always let someone like Zhu Heng be a businessman. Now the throne of the king of the Beihua Kingdom seems to be empty!

As the brothers spoke, they walked on the deck, and the Mexican naval officers they met along the way respectfully saluted Jujuan. Although these people were wearing the uniforms of the Imperial Mexican Navy, they were all Chinese. (To be continued)
