Chapter 12 Hotel Chains

Chen Zeyu took a fancy to South American oil.

As for Latin America's oil resources, Chen Zeyu's countermeasures are purely for the purpose of short-term speculation, and when the oil is explored, several ultra-high-yield oil fields will be sold to Mobil or Shell after a blowout. As a modern man, Chen Zeyu knows how chaotic the situation in Latin America could have been in the nineteenth century, and the tensions between Latin America and the United States throughout the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries can be said to have been entirely linked to American oil merchants there.

With the mentality of making a handful and leaving, Chen Zeyu took a lot of money in his hand and stook a lot of money along the Gulf coast, going south to Venezuela, Cuba, Mexico and other places along the way. It took months to buy the oil-rich land at a fairly cheap price with the Amin and Ah Liang brothers and a group of armed Chinese employees armed to the teeth.

It's not okay if you're not armed, although there is no big chaos, but with so many banknotes and land deeds, Chen Zeyu can only use gold yuan and rifles to act as a local tyrant.

Of course, Chen Zeyu will not let go of the oil in the United States, and the oil in California is the base camp of Mobil, Chen Zeyu knows that nothing can be done too much, if he controls the resources of the United States alone in the future, there is no need to say that others know that there is a problem. However, the oil in the western Los Angeles Basin is not welcome, and it has also purchased a large amount of seemingly useless wasteland.

For these politically stable areas in the United States, Chen Zeyu intends to hoard oil land in these places.

At this time, although oil resources around the world have gradually attracted the attention of various countries, generally speaking, this era still belongs to the era of coal mines for the time being, and it is okay to do two things for oil, but it has not yet been raised to the level of casual war for oil in the 21st century.

This time was still the age of coal and iron.

I remember very clearly in the notebook that the oil industry should have only started to rise at the end of the 19th century, but Chen Zeyu had this patience, and when the time came, it would not be 100 percent profit, not 1,000 percent profit, it would simply be a robbery, and such a large fortune was worth waiting for Chen Zeyu.

In addition, this guy may be disgusted that the dollar has depreciated too quickly, and has used idle funds to buy a large amount of mines and land on the west coast of the United States and Canada. The mines are all undiscovered and are mainly transverse fault gold and silver deposits.

Land resources are mainly hoarded around the future of Seattle and Vancouver, both of which will be hot land in the future, but at this time all undeveloped wasteland. As for Vancouver Island, which is not far away and is surrounded by two places in a ring, Chen Zeyu simply bought all the available land on it in the name of his uncle. Gradually, the entire island became a quasi-private domain of the Avalanche Syndicate.

In September, Chen Zeyu, who was not yet 12 years old, began to study metallurgy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Brother Chen is usually followed by Ah Ming, and Ah Liang is still on the way to deliver goods by him back to Luzon.

Just last month, the floating dockyard that Chan bought from several shipyards on the East Coast under the name of Pittsburgh Avalanche Group had just passed through the Suez Canal.

In particular, the 10,000-ton floating dock sold by the Newport News shipyard, which belongs to the Grumman chaebol, has attracted attention.

It is not yet the twentieth century, and in the eighties of the nineteenth century, there were not many shipmaking companies with 10,000-ton docks in the whole of North America. It is even more difficult to find a steel complex that can build a dock of this grade by itself, but who made Chen Zeyu rich and rich, and the price he gave made it difficult for several major shipbuilding companies to refuse.

You must know that at this time, the shipping industry in the United States is suffering from malicious competition from their counterparts in Europe, especially the United Kingdom, and it is quite difficult for them to operate. It can be said that Chen Zeyu picked a good time to do business, anyway, according to his plan, he also had to buy shipbuilding equipment in Luzon, and it was better to buy it early than to buy it late.

In this way, after several shipbuilding companies in Britain, Germany, France and other countries successively rejected the offer of the Avalanche Group, Avalanche and Grumman in North America quickly reached a contract, in addition to the first batch of eight ready-made floating docks ranging from 5,000 tons to more than 10,000 tons, Avalanche and several selected companies signed follow-up dock supply contracts.

According to the agreement, over the next three years until '91, the companies would provide Avalanche with 16 docks, 10 of which were 10,000 tons and the remaining six were a staggering 30,000 tons. The length, width and height of the dock are strictly limited by the avalanche, and as for why, maybe only Chen Zeyu himself.

In this way, the deal was quickly reached at the benefit of both parties, and under Ah Liang's arrangement, eight floating docks, ranging from more than 5,000 tons to more than 10,000 tons, were towed by a tugboat company hired by his own side, which departed from New York Harbor on the East Coast a few months ago. Until this time, Chen Zeyu still remembered the rather spectacular scene when he left the port.

Gossip aside, while Ah Liang was still escorting the dock back to Luzon along the way, Chen Zeyu had also officially enrolled in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston.

This time, the two did not buy a local residence, and the Stern Trading Company has a branch in New York, not far from Boston, and Chen Zeyu had entrusted his uncle to buy a large amount of land in this East Coast cultural gathering place a few years ago. Chen Zeyu's mischief in his previous life broke out, and he bought land in New York, Boston and other East Coast cities to build luxury hotels that can be used as landmarks for various places.

Chen Zeyu specially recruited many local Chinese Americans to work, on the one hand, because of blood ties, and on the other hand, the living conditions of these compatriots in various parts of the East Coast are really not better. Before the opening of the hotel, Chen Zeyu specially invited a British housekeeper to give these people a concentration camp-style devil training, which naturally added many of Chen Zeyu's own ideas from the future.

Originally, he didn't expect these hotels to make money, but he didn't expect that the Sheraton Hotel, which Chen Zeyu inadvertently made with his small actions, became famous in various cities on the East Coast with a series of strict and standardized beautiful services.

In less than two years, Sheraton Hotel service has become the standard for top business executives.

I have been to the east several times to run errands in the past and stayed in the chain hotel in New York, this time I went to school in Boston, Chen Zeyu Suo surname directly took A Liang with his luggage and stayed directly in the local Sheraton Hotel.

It also omitted the cost of buying a new residence in the local area, and this guy didn't count the cost of the two of them occupying a presidential suite for a long time.
