Juan? Gomez turned out to be a subordinate of former President Castro, and the reason why he was able to replace him was because he was more knowledgeable and never fought against foreigners, so foreigners had a good impression of Gomez. Situ Nan believes that he is still trustworthy.

Thomas: Soon after they left, Brooke came to the door, he came to probe this time, but unfortunately he couldn't see Ronald? Gomez could only go back in a huff.

"Why don't you see that Englishman?" Caroline? Gomez asked.

"It's nothing, and I don't know what to say when I see it. But this Brit has a really good nose! Unfortunately, it was already too late. ”

Ronald? Mr. Gomez said he estimated that Brooke should have rushed over to inquire about the fact that the Americans were going to invest in Lake Maracaibo for oil.

There had been an unpleasant cooperation between the two sides before, and Ronald has always kept it in mind, so naturally he doesn't want to pay attention to Brooke.

After climbing up to the Americans, Ronald is now not afraid of the British, and now everyone knows that the Americans are the masters of the Americas, and the British, French, Germans and other Europeans are useless to speak.

After another round of bargaining, the Gomez father and son finally decided to accept Thomas's offer to lease the remaining land on the eastern shore of Lake Maracaibo to the Panamanian Petroleum Development Company, while at the same time dividing the land on the western shore of Lake Maracaibo into several pieces to BP Fruits, PetroCaribe and a new venture called the Maracaibo Development Company.

This is a joint venture between the William consortium and the city of Maracaibo, which controls half of the land on the western shore of Lake Maracaibo.

Among them, the Panama Petroleum Development Company contributed technical funds, and the Maracaibo side contributed funds, land, labor, and the shares of both parties were proportional to the input, which was actually the property of the Gomez family, and they accounted for more than four-fifths of the shares. The source of the funds was the one they had just appropriated from the first $5 million loan.

Maracaibo Development is actually a leather bag company, Ronald? Gómez used his position to divide the Maracaibo Development Company's land into several plots, which he sold to Western oil companies such as the Panama Petroleum Development Company and the Caribe Oil Company.

Of course, the shrewd Thomas did not forget to get the right to exploit the entire Maracaibo Lake area, and although the current technology is not yet able to extract oil in the water, it is always right to take the position first.

Juan? Gomez did everything he could to silence the opposition at home, and at the same time used his interests to win over his cronies and make them cheer for him.

They repeatedly stressed that the lease of Lake Maracaibo to a foreign company was not a land cession. Once the lease expires, the land will naturally return to Venezuela, and there is no suspicion of betrayal.

The government was also reluctant to do so, as the country's finances were empty and its debt was high, and it was cost-effective to exchange the impoverished and barren Lake Maracaibo for loans from foreign companies.

Juan? Gomez also deliberately promoted the Maracaibo Development Company as a new model for attracting foreign investment and promoting local industrial development.

At the same time in the state government of the state of Zuria, Ronald? Gomez triumphantly promised the people of Maracaibo that the government's move would greatly improve their standard of living. Everyone has a job, and everyone has food.

Gomez and his son are doing a good job of reassuring public opinion at the same time. While reinforcing armaments, along with preparations for the use of force to suppress his opponents.

In Juan? Thanks to the efforts of Gomez and his cronies, the William consortium's plan to develop Lake Maracaibo finally came to fruition.

"There's good news for the president's husband, I just received news from Los Angeles. Next month there will be a division of munitions arriving in Karacas, all of which are advanced American weapons. ”

Thomas said with a smile as he put away the ink-stained land lease in his hand.

"Hey, didn't you say that there were three divisions?". Juan? Gomez asked.

"Well, well, husband, you know, the United States is recruiting at the moment, there are more than a million soldiers waiting for equipment, and our factories are too busy to produce shafts. These are all things that we secretly withhold from the government's orders, and it's not easy. ”

Thomas explained.

"Oh!" Juan? Gomez nodded in understanding, but still urged, "I hope you will send us our weapons as much as possible." ”

He desperately needed the arms to secure his rule.

"Don't worry! Now that we have committed. Naturally, we will be able to do it, and we will deliver the remaining weapons on time and within the planned time. I believe that we will have more pleasant cooperation in the future. Thomas said expectantly.

He didn't tell Gomez that along with the arms came hundreds of security guards from a trained security consulting company.

In addition to being sent to the oil fields to defend the oil fields, these mercenaries will continue to recruit incoming Chinese workers on BP Fruit's estates, and once they are trained, they will become a significant force in the Maracaibo region.

Immediately after the contract was signed, Venezuela's treasury received a $5 million loan from Wells Fargo.

However, it didn't take long for the money to be carved up. Except for part of the payment of foreign debts, the rest fell into the hands of Gomez and his cronies.

That's how the country is sold. In addition to the lease of oil exploitation rights, the railway of Lake Maracaibo. Important resources such as ports and mines also began to gradually fall into the hands of Situ Nan.

However, to develop this remote part of Lake Maracaibo, the initial investment can be a lot, ports, railways, oil fields, all the initial investment must be borne by the William consortium, Situ Nan's investment consultant submitted a report predicting that the expansion of Maracaibo Port alone, dredging the waterway, the cost will be 1 million US dollars!

After the construction of the wharf, the laying of pipelines from the oil fields to the wharf will also be carried out, because in addition to firmly controlling the oil fields in Marakaibo from the source, oil transportation is also an important part.

Situ Nan believes that after the construction of the oil port in Maracaibo is completed, if other oil companies want to squeeze in, Western oil companies can get stuck in the neck of the other party's oil transportation.

Although the investment is very expensive, it is worth it, and the ambitious Situ Nan is ready to build Maracaibo into the most important overseas production base of Occidental Petroleum Company, and the construction of Maracaibo Petroleum will be an important step for Occidental Petroleum to take an international step.

Just when Situ Nan was full of hesitation, Maracaibo once again came with exciting news.

Whoa!

A thick black liquid erupted from the surface of the earth, soared into the sky, and then fell with a clatter, drenching a group of crazy workers underground into the black, and people spread their arms and shouted excitedly, "It's oil!" It's oily! ”

This is the second exploratory well drilled by the Pratt geological team on the west shore of Lake Maracaibo, a self-blowing well with a daily volume of more than 10,000!

It immediately caused a sensation.

"Lao Pu, it's really you! It's going to be sent again! Guedas excitedly thumped Pratt on the chest! Guedas was right, he and Pratt, the veterans of Western Oil, had a stake in the Maracaibo investment.

"Ahem!"

Pratt got carried away for a while, and was a little angry by the sneak attack of Gedas, he hurriedly beckoned Hayes who had just been fished out of the oil pile in the distance, and said loudly: "Brothers, the big guy will be foraging in Marakaibo in the future, and it will depend on the care of our big manager Gudass's husband, how about we pay tribute to him?" ”

With that, they glanced at Hayes, and the two lifted Gedas up and threw him into the air.

After being fiddled with by a bunch of black and slippery guys, the originally dressed and graceful Gedath has also become a black loach!

Some people rejoice, and naturally some people are lost! Brooke couldn't sit still when he heard Marakaibo hit the self-blowing well, and he rushed over, watching the oil sprayed high in the air as if those black and sticky liquids had fallen, and his heart was full of bitterness.

Thomas looked at the lonely Shell representative, smiled and shook his head, said hello to Guedas and Pratt, and got on the ship heading home.

He had to go back and report what had happened, but most of the members of the business team he had brought with him stayed, because there was a lot of work to be done by these business elites.

"Haha! On behalf of the city of Maracaibo, I thank you for your efforts that will change Maracaibo. ”

Ronald? Gomez said excitedly that he had been excited to attend the Panamanian Petroleum Development Company's celebratory reception tonight and had been thrilled to hear that the Pratt geological team had drilled a self-blowing well. Because he was also one of the biggest beneficiaries of this incident, he had just sold two plots of land in his name to BP Fruits, and made millions of dollars in a single sale.

After tasting the sweetness, Ronald? Gomez was hell-bent on strengthening ties with the William Consortium.

"I heard Caroline say, the University of William, which your boss donated and built, is good, I wonder if you can recruit our Venezuelan students? Right now, the housekeeper is thinking of studying in the United States, and I hope that my husband can do a little help! ”

Ronald said. As for Situ William, he only heard bits and pieces of information from his sister Caroline, and he didn't know that there was no shadow of this so-called university.

"This??? Well said, well said! Old Guedas blushed and hurriedly coped with it.

??

Los Angeles, Santa Monica Harbor, crowded with people, noisy. A blue-and-white cruise ship sped in from where the water and the sky met.

Situ Nan stood on the deck, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar port, after a year's absence, it has changed a lot, it has become lively, prosperous, and he can't help but sigh in his heart.

"Honey, is this Los Angeles? They are so welcoming! Laura looked at the waving crowd at the port.

"Yes. This is Los Angeles! Where I dreamed, I came back! ”
