Yan Guang and Rockefeller Jr. also understood that things were tense, if it was a change of words, how could such a big business be said to have a banquet, inviting people with status in Mexico City, and even all of Mexico, but now...

Time can still be saved...

After leading Rockefeller Jr. and others to the conference room, the two sides took their seats one after another.

"Yan, we both know that the sooner this contract is signed, the better it will be for us, so I'll tell you our bid directly." As he spoke, Rockefeller Jr. took a copy of the agreement from his entourage. "What do you think of Standard Oil's readiness to buy land in Tampico from you for $30 million and 15 percent per year? If there is no problem, sign it. ”

With that, Rockefeller Jr. slid the agreement off the conference table.

Yan Guang picked up the agreement and looked at it, it was written very clearly.

As long as Yan Guang signs the agreement, Standard Oil will pay 30 million US dollars, and he will receive 15% of the income from Tampico oil production every year in the future.

To be honest, such conditions are indeed very generous, and even beyond Yan Guang's expectations, Yan Guang originally expected that Standard Oil would only give up 10% of the profits.

But...

For Yan Guang, this benefit is still too little, and if he wants to achieve his goal, he needs more money, even if he sacrifices something for it.

"I don't know if he will accept the conditions I proposed..."Shaking his head in his heart, Yan Guang pushed the agreement back.

Rockefeller Jr., who originally thought that Yan Guang would sign the agreement, frowned, in fact, the bottom line given by his father Rockefeller Sr. was 20 percent, and the 20 percent agreement was now in his secretary's briefcase, but to be honest, although he admired the Chinese in front of him, he still felt that 15 percent was enough.

"What, Yan? Do you think there's anything wrong with this agreement? ”

Yan Guang shook his head. "$30 million is no problem, it's just in terms of income..."

Rockefeller Jr. interjected. "Yan, I think 15 percent is quite fair."

"It's fair indeed." Yan Guang nodded seriously, but the next words surprised everyone present. "But I still hope that the yield can be increased to 30 percent."

If 20 percent is already high for Rockefeller Jr., then 30 percent is whimsical.

Although Rockefeller Jr. admired Yan Guang a little, he still felt that he was crazy when he heard this number, but maybe this number was too surprising, so Rockefeller Jr. was not too angry in his heart.

"Yan, you're kidding, aren't you?" Little Rockefeller said seriously.

"Of course not, I'm not kidding at such times."

Little Rockefeller's face became a little gloomy. "Yan, I used to tell others that you are a smart person, but now it doesn't seem to be the case..." Just when Rockefeller Jr. wanted to say something about Yan Guang's current situation and said that he was not qualified to negotiate such high conditions with him, Yan Guang had already interrupted his next words.

"Rest assured, I'm not a smart person, but at least I'm absolutely sane." After waving his hand, Yan Guang continued. "Since I dare to put forward such a condition, I naturally have his reasons..."

"Oh?" Hearing Yan Guang say this, little Rockefeller was a little curious.

In fact, Yan Guang has been thinking about this matter for a long time, but earlier he estimated that the bid of Standard Oil was 10 percent, not 15 percent.

If it were fifteen percent, Yan Guang would receive at least twenty million dollars a year, equivalent to sixty million silver dollars or forty-three million taels of silver, and at least twenty-five million a year if the third 10,000-ton well in Tampico could be mined later.

Sixty million silver dollars, if all invested in the military, can form at least twelve or thirteen infantry divisions, and at the same time can maintain twenty-five infantry divisions, at least in the early days of the revolution, this money is absolutely enough.

However, Yan Guang's hope is to make China a strong country, and 60 million silver dollars may meet his goal, but if he can, Yan Guang still hopes to get more.

So Yan Guang thought of a way, which may cost a lot, but it is very likely to make Rockefeller Jr. and his father Rockefeller Sr. agree with his 30% idea.

"My opinion is that the annual income should be increased to 30 percent, but I will only receive this income in 1930, that is, 20 years later, and after 20 years I will not take a penny..."

This is Yan Guang's idea, and he will only receive the income from the oil produced by all the oil wells of Tampico for twenty years, that is, until 1930, so that Standard Oil and Rockefeller are likely to agree to his terms.

While Yan Guang would have a lot to lose by signing such an agreement, his aim was to make China a powerful country, not to make himself a billionaire.

If it can get 30 percent of the annual income, then Yan Guang can get at least 40 million US dollars a year based on the oil currently produced by Tampico. If the third 10,000 tons of oil can be developed as soon as possible, 40 million can become 50 million.

50 million US dollars, 150 million silver dollars or 18 million taels of silver Ping, equivalent to one-third of the financial revenue of the Manchu political axe, and the Manchu political axe still has a considerable annual financial expenditure, compared to Yan Guangke is much richer.

As long as he has such a large income, Yan Guang can definitely fulfill his dream, if he can't...

What's the use of having more money?

"20 years?" Little Rockefeller was stunned after hearing Yan Guang's conditions, but quickly reacted.

This condition does look quite good, only need to pay 20 years of income, Tampico land can be owned by Standard Oil, or he Rockefeller Jr. owns it (he thinks the old Rockefeller will not live that long), but Rockefeller Jr. found that there is a problem in it, maybe he can still press it...

"That's a pretty good deal, but I have a question, what if the Mexican government wants to nationalize Tampico's oil?" That's the biggest problem, but...

Yan Guangyin smiled. "Mr. Rockefeller Jr., how much time do you think it will take to change the political axe?"

Rockefeller Jr. was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly. "It doesn't really seem like a problem."

Yes, it is not a problem, because since 1911, every Mexican political axe has been overthrown by the American political axe and oil companies as long as it wants to nationalize oil, and if it were not for the sudden emergence of a second world war that no one expected (at that time, the United States was afraid that Mexico would be co-opted by the Nazis), I am afraid that this kind of thing would continue into the twenty-first century...

But for now, even the most prophetic could only predict the outbreak of the First World War...

And about Yan Guang, you memorized this sentence for me, in fact, many times it is a person who says ^0^

As for the exchange rate of the silver dollar against the US dollar

I found that 1 pound is equivalent to 5 US dollars (4-6.8), and as for the silver dollar and the US dollar, I found that 1 silver dollar is equivalent to 0.476 US dollars, that is to say, 1 US dollar is equivalent to 2 silver dollars, and this is the time when the exchange ratio is the highest.

At its lowest, 3.42 silver dollars was equivalent to 1 dollar, so I took the exchange rate of 3:1 for easy exchange.

As for the 1:1 one, it should be Yuan, right? 1 silver dollar = 1.002 yuan.
