Chapter 48: The Third (Third Watch)

It took only five days to assemble the oil pipeline to Ciudad Tampico, which is only ten kilometers away from the nearest city of Bayes.

"Turn the switch on." Degaurier, who was drilling at the side, shouted to the workers on the derrick.

After hearing Degau Lil's words, the workers on the derrick hurriedly turned on the switch on the derrick.

As soon as the switch was turned on, the workers on the derrick heard a muffled "boom" from under them, and then felt something gushing out.

Yan Guang and De Goriel walked to the oil pipeline and put their hands on it, although it was not large, but they could feel a vibration similar to the flow of water.

From this day on, Yan Guang's Huasheng Petroleum Company was officially profitable.

After celebrating with the workers, Yan Guang returned to his residence exhausted.

It's just that as soon as Yan Guang lay down, Wang Er pushed open the door and walked in.

"Boss, it's another letter...", he said and handed an envelope to Yan Guang.

When Yan Guang opened the envelope, he found that it contained a bullet with no charge.

After playing with the bullet for a while, Yan Guang half lay on the bed and smiled at Wang Er. "How many letters of the week are there now?"

"The fifth, right?" Wang Er replied after thinking about it.

Since the news of the contract between Yan Guang and Rockefeller Jr. came out, the oil companies that had been using literature for a long time were reduced, and they were replaced by the use of force.

It's just that these use of force don't have much new ideas, except for personally coming forward to threaten one or two, so that Yan Guang, a Chinese, get out of the box quickly, is the envelope with bullets that will be received every day.

Yan Guang should eat and sleep on these threats, and he ignored them very directly.

The current Mexico is not the one that was subverted by the American political axe a year later, at least for now, the security in Mexico is still a little okay, and there is no need to worry that one day more than 100 "bandits and horse bandits" will suddenly break into Tampico City and kill themselves for money.

But there are some things that should have been prepared earlier.

"It seems that tomorrow I will see De Goril early, let him drill a few 10,000-ton wells in Tampico, and then I will run away..."

Saying that, Yan Guang lay on the bed and said with a sigh.

"Runaway?" Wang Er was a little strange.

"That's right, get it done early, run early..."

A year later, in 1911, the current Mexican President Díaz would be overthrown, and then the current relatively stable social environment would be gone, because Madero, who replaced Díaz, was supported by the American political axe, but he took measures to protect the national industry, so he was subverted again soon after he came to power.

After a few years of fighting between the Americans and the British, the new president of Mexico who came to power in 1914 was the American-backed Catharan, but after coming to power, Casaland, like his predecessor, planned to nationalize all oil and other materials...

Kasalan soon followed his first two ...

To put it simply, Mexico has not had a stable political axe since 1911.

In this case, it is the best opportunity for a Chinese like Yan Guang to start, if nothing else, it is not impossible to really organize a "mountain thief horse bandit" force to storm Tampico City.

Moreover, the reason why the American political axe and oil companies will subvert the Mexican political axe is because Mexico has a lot of oil, but a large part of Mexico's oil is concentrated in Tampico.

Wouldn't Yanguang's oil wells be nationalized by Mexicans in those years?

And if Yan Guang expands production, he must not get involved in oil refining and oil transportation, because it is the monopoly of Standard Oil, and if Yan Guang touches it, it is better to wipe his neck and return the efficiency.

The second and most important point.

Even if you are only satisfied with mining, how can you deal with the wolves around you?

An oil well like the Sultan of Cerroa can earn $95 million a year just by exploiting it, and it is an easy thing to exceed 100 million in addition to the other two 10,000-ton oil wells in Tampico, and such a huge fortune is probably not allowed even by Standard Company.

Even if Standard is forced to do not take action now that Roosevelt's antitrust is in action, what about the other coveted wolves?

In the face of such huge wealth, let alone say that he is a Chinese, even if he is their own father, I am afraid that he will dare to kill.

There is only one way, and that is to sell the wells to Standard Oil after the drilling is expanded, and only the profit is sitting, which is the most realistic way, and at the same time the only way...

――――――――――

After meeting Degau Lier early the next morning, Yan Guang said that he was ready to expand the scale of drilling.

Degauril, who had already been prepared, took out a map of Tampico with a dozen red dots marked on it.

"I've been all over Tampico these days, and these seventeen red dots are the most likely places to have oil." As he spoke, De Goriel also tapped a few dots that were noticeably thicker than the other red dots. "Especially in these places, the possibility of having high-yield oil wells is very high."

"Really," Yan Guang nodded. It seems that it is enough to drill through these dozen places one by one. ”

Saying that, Yan Guang glanced at Wang Er, who had an ugly face, since Yan Guang said his plan that day, Wang Er's face had never been better.

It's no wonder that it is obviously a very profitable business, but he has to sell it to others and then take the small head himself, even Yan Guang also has a depression in his chest, but people have to bow their heads under the eaves, so what can they do?

"What? Still can't think about it? ”

Wang Er just shook his head and didn't answer.

"Ahh

Originally, according to De Gorier's intention, three areas were drilled at the same time, but Yan Guang decided to come one by one, so that although there was a lot of difference in efficiency, at least he could know it at the first time of oil production.

Degoril didn't know Yan Guang's plan, but although he was puzzled, he still nodded, after all, the boss of the company was Yan Guang and not him.

After Degoril left the room to prepare, Yan Guang patted Wang Er's shoulder and smiled. "Let's go."

The first well was quickly erected thirteen kilometers from Tampico City, which was the closest location to Tampico City, but after drilling for dozens of meters, some oil slowly came out.

"Let's go, go to the next location." After discovering that this was just a well that could not self-blow, Yan Guang left some people to clean up the aftermath and rushed to the second position with other people, but the second well was the same as the first well, although there was oil, it was not a self-blowing well.

Although these oil wells are already "usable" in Mexico, in today's Yan Guang's eyes, there are only self-blowout wells, or even 10,000-ton wells, so after leaving the aftermath behind, Yan Guang rushed to the third position with others...
