Although De Gorier's discovery of the Huasheng No. 1 oil well in Tampico caused a sensation in Mexico and the United States, the significance of this well is actually that it can find high-production oil wells in Mexico, not the value of the well itself.

In fact, although many oil wells in the Middle East and other regions had not yet been explored at that time, there were still many areas where the production of oil wells was much higher than that of Huasheng No. 1, and Huasheng No. 1 could only be regarded as good among them.

So explorers in Mexico are looking at Tampico that can drill oil wells, not the wells themselves.

Fortunately, the first high-yield oil well drilled was a 2,000-ton oil well like Huasheng No. 1, not a 10,000-ton well with a production of 10,000 tons, so although many people peeked at the land owned by Yan Guang, the vast majority of them were written in writing, and a few who wanted to use force against Yan Guang, a Chinese, did not dare to act rashly after noticing the thirty bodyguards.

After all, this is Mexico, not the Iraq of the future, and it has not yet reached the point where hundreds or thousands of people can run out and kill an oil entrepreneur.

However, in the final analysis, it is because the output of Huasheng No. 1 is too small, although the production of 2,000 tons of oil can bring Yan Guang at least more than 5 million US dollars a year, but this huge amount is only relative to the "poor", for those "rich", although 5 million is a lot, it has not yet reached the point where it is necessary to show an ugly appearance.

Merely...

If Yan Guang drilled the No. 4 well of Seroa Sultan, which has a production of more than 37,000 tons (not more than 0)...

You know, 37,000 tons of oil is equivalent to 260,000 barrels of oil, and at the price of $1 per barrel of oil, the 260,000 barrels of oil can earn at least $95 million a year...

In 1911, China's annual fiscal revenue was 300 million taels of silver, and this oil well alone could earn 285 million silver dollars a year, equivalent to 200 million taels of silver and more than 70 percent of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's fiscal revenue. (1 silver dollar is equivalent to 0.72 Kuping silver, which is the standard silver at the end of the Qing Dynasty)...

In the face of this kind of real huge money, I am afraid that even the king of heaven and Lao Tzu himself will not be able to stop these "rich people" from eating Yan Guang.

So Yan Guang, who understands that he is just a scum to those "rich", tells De Gorier to look for places where there may be oil, and prevents him from drilling these places so as not to drill something that could kill him.

"Boss, what should we do now?" Looking at the oil pipeline that the workers were assembling, Wang Er scratched his head that no longer had braids and asked.

Just a few days ago, in order to facilitate his actions, Wang Er took some bodyguards who were willing to cut off their braids to cut off their braids, and now at least one-third of Yan Guang's thirty-person bodyguard team did not have braids, and there were many more who planned to cut them.

At this time, several workers carried a pipeline line over, and Yan Guang stepped forward to help the handle and turned back. "Now that we have oil, the next step is to find a buyer."

That's right, buyer, after all, it is impossible for Yan Guang to refine his own oil, transport it by himself, and sell it by himself, in that case, even if he works until the Xinhai year, he may not be able to achieve any great results. It's better to find a buyer directly, and you are only responsible for making crude oil money.

It's just that although the Huasheng No. 1 well does not produce a lot of crude oil, but there is not much that can eat this crude oil, and finally Yan Guang contacted Standard Oil through the director of the Geological Survey who admired Degau Lier very much.

As the real oil giant of this era, Standard Oil almost monopolized all the refining capacity and oil transportation capacity of the United States, as well as a considerable part of crude oil production, and the founder of Standard Oil, Rockefeller, had a fortune of 200 million US dollars in 1902 and 900 million US dollars in 1914...

So it may be difficult for other oil companies to eat 15,000 barrels of oil per day, but it is very easy for Standard Oil.

After contacting Standard Oil, Yan Guang quickly got a reply.

It's just that to Yan Guang's surprise, it was Rockefeller Jr. who was sent by Standard Oil to negotiate the contract this time.

"No, old Rockefeller actually sent his son?"

But Yan Guang soon learned from the telegram that Rockefeller Jr. was now talking about business in Mexico, and it was in Mexico City, which was not very far from Tampico, so the old Rockefeller let his son solve the business by the way.

Two days later, Rockefeller Jr.'s convoy arrived in Tampico.

Little Rockefeller, who stepped down from the carriage, was wearing a crisp suit and looked quite capable.

"You're Mr. Yan, aren't you?" After seeing the greeting procession at the door of the company, little Rockefeller walked in front of Yan Guang and stretched out his hand.

"Exactly." Yan Guang smiled and shook little Rockefeller's right hand. "It's been hard along the way, do you want to take a break first?"

Thinking about the bumpy journey in the past two days, little Rockefeller also felt a little sore all over, so he nodded.

"It's fine."

Early the next morning, Rockefeller Jr. and Yan Guang met in the living room.

"Mr. Rockefeller, this is information about the Huasheng No. 1 well." As he spoke, Yan Guang motioned to Wang Er to hand over the information to Rockefeller Jr.

But little Rockefeller shook his head. "There's no rush on this." Then he looked at Yan Guang, who was a little puzzled, and smiled. "Actually, I've heard Mr. Yan's name for a long time."

"Oh?"

"It's those inventions of yours, to be honest, when we learned that they were all invented by a Chinese, my father and I were quite shocked." Saying that, little Rockefeller took out a pen, and Yan Guang recognized it as a ballpoint pen at a glance, but compared with the humble goods he made at the beginning, this ballpoint pen was much more exquisite. "That's what you invented, right?"

"How does it feel?" Yan Guang feels a bit like a salesman for after-sales service.

"Pretty good, I haven't used a fountain pen for a long time since I got this ballpoint pen." Saying that, little Rockefeller also played with his fingertips twice. "My father admires you very much, and I have never seen a Chinese as smart as you."

However, little Rockefeller quickly straightened up and said with a serious face. "Now let's get down to business."

After taking the information from Wang's second-hand school, Rockefeller Jr. looked at it carefully, and only spoke halfway. "Mr. Yan, your Huasheng No. 1 well is said to produce 15,000 barrels of crude oil, right?"

"That's right." Yan Guang nodded. "Now the oil pipeline is being assembled, and it can be put into production at any time as long as the pipeline is assembled."

"In that case—" Little Rockefeller touched his smooth chin. Everyone is smart, and without further ado, Standard Oil will buy 15,000 barrels of crude oil per day at a price of $1 per barrel. As he spoke, little Rockefeller looked at the young man in his early twenties in front of him and smiled. What do you think of this condition? ”

"What reason do I have to refuse such a fair price?"
