Here is a large wheat field, verdant forests, lush grass, stretches of coast like blue ribbons, boundless fields like tender green carpets. Groups of cattle and sheep graze leisurely on the pasture, and countless birds chirp and fly among the trees.

It has been two days since Xiao Zhenlei came to Dorset in southwest England from London, and the south of Dorset is the English Channel, and in these two days, he and Williams have been wandering around Cape Clearwell, which is close to the coastline, for two days, and after two days of searching and observing, Xiao Zhenlei finally determined that this is the place he is looking for.

There are about 500 million barrels of oil reserves buried under this land, which is the Witchham oil field, which is one of the six major oil fields in the United Kingdom, and the most abundant oil field, this oil field was discovered in December 1973 in later generations, and officially produced oil in 1979, which is the largest onshore oil field in Western Europe, with a maximum daily crude oil output of 110,000 barrels. By the time Xiao Zhenlei crossed over, the field had maintained a capacity of about 60,000 barrels of crude oil, 10 million cubic feet of natural gas and 500 tons of liquefied petroleum gas per day. Once received a bodyguard business, the task is to protect a senior executive of the British Petroleum Company, Xiao Zhenlei once brought his team members here, in order to ensure the safety of the objects protected by his mercenary group, Xiao Zhenlei also personally led the team members to conduct terrain reconnaissance and set up security defense measures around this oil field, so he is very familiar with the terrain here, back a hundred years ago, Xiao Zhenlei came here again, although the buildings on the ground are not human. There are also subtle changes in the terrain, but after all, not much in a hundred years. It took Xiao Zhenlei two days to determine the location of one of the oil wells he was looking for in his previous life, which was the easiest to produce oil.

Xiao Zhenlei's goal was to buy this piece of land with huge oil reserves buried underneath, and of course he didn't have time to mine here. There is no energy, and the most important thing is that if it is found out that there is indeed oil underneath, the British locals may not let him exploit it very comfortably, not only will those oil companies be jealous, but it is estimated that the British government will not allow him, a lowly Qing countryman, to unscrupulously exploit this black oil that is known as the industrial bloodline in the British Empire. So Xiao Zhenlei's plan was to buy this large piece of land, find an oil exploration team to drill an oil well as quickly as possible, attract the attention of all the oil companies, and then sell the land to one of the oil companies. Sell it for a high price that satisfies him, and then take the money and pat his ass and leave.

In these two days, Williams was indeed very capable, and he registered a breeding company for Xiao Zhenlei without much effort, named the White Penguin Breeding Company, with a registered capital of 100,000 pounds.

Xiao Zhenlei walked on the grass with a finger of cigarette in his hand, Su Gu took some people to guard his safety near the surroundings, and Williams came over not far away and said, "Boss, I have inquired." The ownership of this grassland and the surrounding large area of farmland is in the hands of six people, and it is estimated that it will take a lot of thought to buy all this land, and the purchase price cannot be calculated according to the price of ordinary farmland and grassland land, at least 20% higher! ”

Until now. Williams didn't know Xiao Zhenlei's true purpose, and even though he was already an employee of Xiao Zhenlei, Xiao Zhenlei still decided not to wait until the last minute. Nor did he tell him the true purpose, although he studied metallurgical industry at university. But he didn't know anything about oil exploration, and he didn't expect Xiao Zhenlei's real purpose to buy here. The oil is then drilled and the land is sold at a high price. He also thought that Xiao Zhenlei just wanted to buy this land in the UK for cattle and sheep breeding.

The registration of a breeding company is just a cover for Xiao Zhenlei, the purpose is to cover up his real purpose of buying land, the shareholders of this company are Opiyin and him, because Opiyin is British, in order to avoid being targeted by other peeps after drilling out of oil, he still pulled Opiyin, a local, into one of the shareholders, and after having Opiyin's identity as a cover, others did not dare to blatantly mess around, although Opiyin is only a civilian at the lowest level in Britain.

After listening to Williams's words, Xiao Zhenlei thought for a while and said: "Money is not a problem, it doesn't matter if you spend more money, I just need to buy this large piece of land as soon as possible and become the land under the name of our company, so let's do it, Opiyin will represent me, you will be his negotiator, the two of you will go to these six people together to get this matter done as quickly as possible, I will wait for your news in London!" ”

Williams nodded: "Okay, you're the boss, what you say, we'll do it!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei asked Su Gu to leave three agents to assist Williams and the two, and he left Dorset and returned to London with Su Gu and five other agents. He had already planned that he would not stay in England for too long, that he would only stay here for two months at most, and that he would leave for Germany after two months, where he would stay for a month at most, and then turn around from Germany across the Atlantic to New York, where he would do something, and then cross the United States to take a boat on the West Coast and try to return to Shanghai by July.

Leaving Williams and Opiyin to deal with the purchase of land, Xiao Zhenlei was not idle after returning to London with Sugu and others, he had to speed up, in order to save time, at the same time as Williams and Opiyin bought land, he also began to search for oil exploration team.

However, for the rubber stock business in the London stock market, he also did not want to let go, you must know that this rubber stock market crash, after a few months, Chinese in Shanghai Beach really could not buy rubber stocks after many people began to buy rubber stocks in the London stock market, the price of London rubber stocks itself is not low, after many Chinese such a speculation, the stock price of London rubber stocks has also soared, Xiao Zhenlei is ready to start before this tide comes.

First of all, he found Bai Siqin, a Chinese student who had been a translator for Williams two days ago, and he had a good impression of this young man, and after a long conversation with Bai Siqin that day, he learned that Bai Siqin was from the Business School of City University. He also had some knowledge of stocks, so he sent someone to find Bai Siqin. Let Bai Siqin help him be responsible for buying a large number of rubber stocks that are still at a low price for the time being, and also buy some rubber stocks at a medium price. Pull the stock price higher.

This time he came to London, he brought 15,300,000 taels of silver, which was about 3 million pounds in pounds, and now the purchasing power of the pound is quite strong, although 3 million pounds can not be rich and rival the country, but it can also set off a bloody storm in the rubber stock market, and it will be bigger, he decided to leave 1 million pounds for the purchase of land, and the remaining about 2 million pounds are all invested in the rubber stock market. Actually buying land for a million pounds is too much. He didn't need that much money at all, and the rest of the money he thought about was used as a backup, so that he could replenish it in time if something exceeded the budget.

Although he admired Bai Siqin very much, Xiao Zhenlei didn't dare to fully trust him at all, in order to prevent accidents, Xiao Zhenlei sent Su Gu with two people to follow Bai Siqin, nominally as an assistant to Bai Siqin, but in fact it was to monitor, if it weren't for Su Gu, these people would not know English. Unable to communicate with the British, Xiao Zhenlei didn't need Bai Siqin at all, and there was no way to use Bai Siqin, this time Bai Siqin was the main person in charge of the acquisition of rubber stocks. He was only responsible for communicating with the British, and the money was still in the hands of Ayatani, and the stocks he bought were also kept by Ayatani and others. Bai Siqin only plays a role in communication, and Bai Siqin understands this very well.

After sending Bai Siqin and Su Gu and others to buy rubber stocks. Xiao Zhenlei took the remaining three people to the Institute of Geological Exploration in London, and after some inquiry. He found Grant, a researcher at the Institute of Geological Exploration, who specialized in oil exploration at the Institute of Geological Exploration.

At half past five in the afternoon, Xiao Zhenlei and the other four people sat on two cars across the road in front of the research institute, and there was a British man sitting in the car where Xiao Zhenlei was sitting, this person knew at a glance that he was a ruffian, but this kind of person was a very well-informed guy, Xiao Zhenlei was the Grant he found, at this time the institute was already off work, some people came out of it, some people were pushing bicycles, some people were walking with briefcases, and there were some female staff members.

At this time, the ruffian Quill who was sitting on the side of the road in the car hurriedly pointed to one of the middle-aged British men wearing glasses, with a somewhat thin face, and carrying a black briefcase, and said: "Sir, look, the one wearing a gray jacket and glasses, and a woman by his side is Grant, he is the person in charge of oil exploration in the research institute, and the woman next to him is his wife Melanie."

Xiao Zhenlei leaned forward, looked out through the car window, saw the Grant that Quill was talking about, and asked, "Are you sure it's him?" ”

"Sure, that's what I did on this street, and I know him when he turns to ashes!" Quill hurriedly said, for the sake of money, not to mention betraying his compatriots, even betraying his parents, he will not hesitate.

Xiao Zhenlei likes to deal with such people, he stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, and the agent Ah Bing sitting in the passenger seat took out a banknote and handed it to Quill, and said coldly in a few unfamiliar words of English that he had just learned: "Take it, get out!" ”

"Understood, understood!" Ruffian Quill took the bill, ecstatically pushed the car door open, got out of the car and ran away.

Xiao Zhenlei took a puff of cigarette and said to Ah Bing: "Ah Bing, take Ah Cheng to invite our distinguished guests over, remember, it's 'please', don't be rude!"

"Okay!" Hearing this, Ah Bing agreed, pushed the door and got out of the car, and made a gesture to Ah Cheng in the back car, Ah Cheng got out of the car behind, and the two walked over together to meet the British people who came out of the research institute.

The two of them walked up to Grant and stopped him in a few sentences that he had just written, because he asked, "Excuse me, is it Mr. Grant from the Institute?" ”

Grant was very surprised to see two yellow people coming to him, and he nodded under the curious eyes of other colleagues passing by: "Yes, I am Grant, who are you?" What are you looking for me? ”

"Hello, Dear Mr. Grant, my boss has a business to talk to you about, and I would like you to move over and meet with him!" After Ah Bing finished speaking, he turned sideways and pointed to the car Xiao Zhenlei was riding in, at this time, Xiao Zhenlei just rolled down the window, and when he saw Grant looking over, he stretched his hand out of the window and stood up to say hello.

Grande nodded and raised his hand to say hello, and his wife beside him said, "Melanie, you go back first, I'll talk to that gentleman!" ”

Seeing that Ah Bing and Ah Cheng looked a little cold, the woman felt a little uneasy in her heart, and she hesitated: "Grant, I'm worried."

Grant understood his wife's concerns, he patted his wife's hand and said, "Melanie, don't worry, that boss is just looking for me to discuss business, he shouldn't have any malicious intent!" ”

"Alright then, you have to be careful!"

Grant watched the reluctant Melanie walk away before saying to Bing, "We can go!" ”

"Mr. Grant, please!" Ah Bing stepped aside as he spoke, and Grant walked across the road to the car where Xiao Zhenlei was sitting.

Ah Bing immediately stepped forward and pulled the car door, Grant got in, Ah Bing sat in the passenger seat, Ah Cheng returned to another car, and the two cars left the institute one after the other.

In the car, Xiao Zhenlei stretched out his hand to Grant and smiled: "Mr. Grant, my name is Xiao Zhenlei, from China, I heard that you are the most prestigious person in the British oil exploration industry, I am very happy to meet you, I hope my abruptness did not disturb you, your family and colleagues, if so, I apologize!" ”

Grant listened to these words, and felt a lot more comfortable, he and his wife Melanie were indeed a little frightened just now, but from Xiao Zhenlei's words, he could see that no matter what the purpose of the person in front of him was to come to him, at least this person was a polite Oriental gentleman!

Grant shook hands with Xiao Zhenlei, he nodded and said, "Mr. Xiao, I believe you have no malicious intentions, but I am just a researcher of oil exploration in the research institute, and I don't have the capital to do business, I'm afraid you are looking for the wrong person for me!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei hurriedly shook his hand: "No, no, no, Mr. Grant, you are too arrogant, oil exploration is your talent, this is your capital, and I need your talent!" ”

Grant was surprised and said, "You're going to hire me to explore oil for you?" Oh, I haven't led a team in years and I don't know where those old guys are now." (To be continued......) uR1071
