Chapter 11: I'm going to dig for oil

Guo Yu used merit points to wash Little John's body, which shocked Little John. "Guo, is this true, I feel the power of God, and my body seems to have changed for the better, is this the power of God?"

"Yes John, this is the power of God, and I think old Mr. John's body can become healthy under the light of God." Guo Yu said that he just wants to get in touch with the Rockefeller family now, so he is a little spared.

Now his merit points have accumulated to nearly 500,000 points, and it is not possible to upgrade for the time being, he needs a million points to upgrade, and it is good to take out some points to fool people now.

"Guo, I'm going to sue my father, you wait for me, he's in the manor now." Then little John hurried away.

Guo Yu drank coffee and thought about things, thinking about what to say to the old Rockefeller for a while.

Not long after, John Jr. took the old Rockefeller to the living room, the founder of the oil kingdom, this year is 75 years old, after handing over the oil kingdom to John Jr. a few years ago, he devoted himself to charity, living a simple life, but he is the richest man and the first philanthropist in the United States.

"Hello, Dear Mr. Rockefeller, it is a great pleasure to meet you, and I wish you good health." Guo Yu sent greetings.

"Hello boy, I just heard little John tell me about you, I was shocked, I believe in Christ, but it's a pity, maybe I'm not religious enough, I can't be illuminated by the Lord's light, doing charity makes my heart very satisfied, I feel that I am born to suffer, so I am willing to help others and reduce their suffering, are you approved by the Lord to spread his gospel." Rockefeller Sr. asked.

"I think you have misunderstood, I think I am not illuminated by the Holy Light of Jesus Christ, you know that I am from the Far East, from China, and my faith is different from yours." Guo Yu shrugged his shoulders and said.

"That's a pity, but I think the god you believe in is also good, because he guides you in charity."

"I know you're not well, and I can help you with your pain, but I think it's not necessarily a gift from your God, because God is omnipotent, and maybe I came to be guided by Jesus Christ, who knows." Guo Yu hurriedly got down to business, he didn't know how to break it up.

After Guo Yu spent nearly 10,000 merit points to treat the old Rockefeller, the old Rockefeller completely believed Guo Yu's words, because facts speak louder than words, he was all right, and he felt that he had become younger.

Guo Yu immediately became the most popular person in Rockefeller Manor, and was invited to dinner with the family members at the manor.

After dinner, John promised Guo Yu that when Guo Yu needed it, he could use the team of lawyers and accountants of the Rockefeller consortium at any time, and use the name of the Rockefeller family to buy land, build factories and other matters, so that Guo Yu's first step was successfully completed.

"Today is a good day, everything you want can come true, tomorrow is a good day, open the door to welcome the spring breeze, alas" On the way back, Guo Yu sang happily.

Early the next morning, he convened a meeting of his subordinates to study the matter of forming his own well drilling and exploration team, and appointed Al as the manager, Lisa, Hard, and Brown were all under the leadership of Al and others. What Guo Yu has to think about is where to buy land and drill for oil.

In modern times, I bought a professional map of the mineral distribution of the United States in the library, as well as related mining, history and other materials, and found a quiet corner to study it myself.

New Mexico is a state that only joined the United States in 1912, and the mineral resources division of oil and gas accounts for 65%, and is a large resource state in the United States.

In the second step, Guo Yu still has to think about it, but he is not in a hurry. Guo Yu began to look up where to sell oil drilling equipment on the Internet, not too advanced, but it must be simple and durable, after all, in 1914, you don't expect so many professionals to operate these equipment for you, you can only use the kind of equipment prepared for small drilling teams.

After contacting for half a day, finally identified a petroleum equipment company in North China, Guo Yu drove again, and let the company load containers after being optimistic about the equipment, and purchased drilling equipment, but did not buy exploration equipment, the exploration equipment is relatively too high-end, and the equipment was sent to a warehouse leased in advance, and Guo Yu received all the containers in the space.

No, this kind of trivial thing has to run around by itself, and there will be more business in the future, how can I be busy, it seems that I will set up a trading company in the future, which is responsible for my own procurement.

A week later, Al finally assembled the exploration team, two geologists, 20 well drilling team members, and when it was ready, after informing the Rockefeller family's lawyers, Guo Yu gave an order and set off for New Mexico.

In September, when New Mexico was still very hot and the typical desert climate was making people suffer, a convoy broke into the New Mexico capital "and Santa Fe", and Guo Yuhe led the lawyers of the Al and Rockefeller families to the state government to ask for the purchase of about 80,000 acres of land west of Notency County.

Because there is a lawyer's deposit, there are no waves in the purchase process, the price per acre is 10 US dollars, is it expensive, Guo Yu thinks it is not expensive, how valuable the land is in later generations, every inch of land is expensive, but compared to the current United States, when the United States bought Alaska, it was equivalent to 2 cents per acre. In the end, when the lawyer moved out of the Rockefeller family, the price dropped to $8, and Guo Yu happily paid for it.

After a day of shopping in the city of "and Santa Fe", we continued to drive to our destination, and after a day of wandering through the desertified land, we arrived at Nokensi, where the tired people checked into the hotel and began to rest. Guo Yu is going to find a temporary place to stay here, after all, it is impossible for him to sleep outside with the well drilling team, and there are Hu Yunyuan, Lisa and Xiaoni, so he can't let a few delicate beauties be exposed to the sun every day.

Al made another effort and bought a small estate in Nokensea, Guo Yu and the others are considered to have settled down, and they may have to spend the next few months here. The small manor is a two-story brick and wood structure house, with many rooms, which can accommodate many people, but the comfort is very average.

After a two-day break, Rockefeller's lawyers returned to New York, and Guo Yu put Harder and Brown in charge and led the well-drilling team to set off. Himself at the manor waiting for news.

This small manor has its own horse farm, but there are no horses, Guo Yu led people to personally select horses, and the group all changed into denim clothes, carried two revolvers at their waists, and lived a cowboy life. Looking at the long desert in the west, the desolate pastures swaying in the wind, and the sunset shining on the gray mountains, Guo Yu sighed, this place is really not suitable for living, hehe.

The fun here may be to practice horseback riding and gun, at the beginning Guo Yu was a rookie with a gun, and his equestrian skills were not exquisite, but Al these are not bad, it seems that the nobles have to learn these things, Al has become the coach of everyone, after a few days of table tennis, people will play well, as long as they are willing to spend bullets, there is no good marksmanship that cannot be practiced.

Half a month later, Harder came back and told Guo Yu bad news, the first well site surveyed by geologists did not dig oil, and now the second survey site is being excavated, and Harder came to replenish some materials. Guo Yu comforted Harder a few words, telling them that persistence is victory.

In fact, Guo Yu is also a little bottomless in his heart, after all, the information he found only gives a general range, 80,000 acres is too big, and there is no satellite positioning, so he can only touch it, hoping that he will be lucky and can find oil soon.

Harder came back again in half a month to tell Guo Yu, the second drilling failed again, there was no oil, and he stayed in this desolate desert all day, Guo Yu was a little irritable in his heart, and told him that he had something to do to go out for a few days, and then ran back to modern times.
