Chapter XXXIII

Boss Yang's words immediately made the Chinese workers talk about it one after another, people who can go to Australia thousands of miles away to pan for gold naturally don't care about trivial things like killing people and setting fires, anyway, gold panning is to make money as a mercenary is also to make money, and you can earn more, why not? Human life is not worth much these days, like these Chinese workers who work hard all year round, it is good to have enough food on weekdays, and it is not a big deal to have the opportunity to make a fortune and risk their lives.

So except for a very few, the vast majority of Chinese workers chose to become mercenaries.

Boss Yang nodded with satisfaction, of course he didn't expect to get a loyal army in this way, this has to cooperate with the future Xi brain, material **, it is best to make some miracles to engage in a personality cult, in short, to deal with these little children who don't even know a word, he has a trick.

Of course, he doesn't have this time now, he has to train these scattered Chinese workers into an army, and this job will be handed over to his security guards brought from England, the lobsters are still very effective in this era, especially in discipline, without strict discipline to line up and shoot this kind of work is not fun, first give them half a year to train these Chinese workers into machines.

As for the equipment of these people, this is also easy to do, each person changes to a set of high-imitation lobster suits, anyway, there is no need to fight, this clothes bluff is still very effective, the rifle is naturally Lee Enfield, in fact, at this time the British army used the Lee Metford rifle, his Lee Enfield was made in Bofors himself, as for others like grenades, mortars, Makqin This is indispensable, the artillery first make do with the two Grusen five seven guns, and wait for the seven five Miss Bofors to come out and then change to a new one.

In this way, his military base was officially established, and those Chinese workers who did not participate in the mercenaries served as logistics personnel, building houses, building roads, grazing wool, and even cultivating land, while the mercenaries of Ambrera Company were responsible for patrolling the territory and the smooth flow of transportation lines, and by the way, cleaning up the few natives nearby, as for the British security guards, except for a hundred people to protect him and continue to live happily in Western Australia, the remaining 100 people were responsible for leading the 500 Chinese mercenaries as officers.

In this way, it was not until the merchant ships carrying arms arrived that Boss Yang gloomily announced that his investment in Australia had failed, but this did not affect his determination to develop in Western Australia, and the employees of Yang's Mining Company would continue to stay here to prospect for mines.

When the Nautilus arrived in London, the news that he had lost a large sum of money in Western Australia had spread throughout Europe, causing many people to snicker, but their laughter did not last long, because the mysterious nouveau riche from China was immediately rewarded with a big deal.

After tens of thousands of kilometers of round-trip investigation, the British Admiralty finally determined the value of diesel engines, Sweden's Young's Power Systems and Armstrong Company, jointly obtained two orders for diesel-powered destroyers, although only two experimental small destroyers, but the significance of this order is important, because it also means that the company, which has just been established for more than a year, has officially entered the world's largest British naval weapons procurement market.

More importantly, the British Navy is the vane of the whole world at this time, as long as the British Navy uses diesel engines, then the navies of all other countries will stare at this kind of thing, and then the orders will fly to Yang Feng's hands like snowflakes.

"Your Excellency, are you interested in cooperating in oil extraction?" On the deck of the Nautilus, Yang Feng, who was proud of the spring breeze, basked in the sun and asked Baron Rothschild, who was invited by him as a guest.

The emergence of diesel engines has begun to make the original excess oil production began to be insufficient, at this time the main oil production areas are Baku and the United States, in addition to Myanmar's Ringanqiang, the world's most important oil supplier in the Middle East, at this time there is no real large oil field, the first large oil field in the Middle East is Iran's Masjid Suleiman oil field, discovered in 1908, and has been controlled since then in the hands of the British Petroleum Company.

The goal of this shipment is to make Middle Eastern oil a target for decades in advance.

"Yang, do you have a good investment goal?" Baron Rothschild said with a smile, now this is a big hit for investment, especially the Navy began to purchase diesel engines, which greatly stimulated investors' confidence in the oil industry, with the funding of countless British billionaires, one after another exploration teams are going to all over the world, and even Boss Yang went to Western Australia, which was guessed by many people to look for oil.

This is not surprising, considering that he had just built an oil refinery before he left.

"Absolutely." Yang Feng said lightly.

"WA?" Baron Rothschild said with a knowing smile that the old fox was too clever.

"No, no, Your Excellency, I think you misunderstood me at this point, I really didn't get anything in Western Australia except a wasteland where grazing could be grazed." Yang Feng said with a bitter face, but then he said: "Although I didn't find anything I was looking for there, I know that there is a big oil field in another place, you should know my Jewish friend who died in Russia, right?"

This thing is starting to make up stories again.

Rothschild nodded, the story of Boss Yang and his friend's family is almost known to women and children in the UK, can he not know?

"Actually, the death of my friend was not what I said he was, and even they did not die in Russia, but in Persia." Yang Feng lowered his voice and said mysteriously.

"Persia?" Baron Rothschild shouted cooperatively.

"He was there with a team looking for oil, and I was a member of the team, and we discovered a big oil field in Persia, but unfortunately we were attacked by a gang of bandits, and I was the only survivor." Yang Feng made up another version of the story in a very sad tone.

Baron Rothschild believed this point, as for Yang Feng's previous story, except for those little girls who like fantasy more, it is estimated that no adult will believe it, especially after the large-scale launch of other products of Jinyuan Company, no one believes this story.

"Are you sure it's a big oil field?" Baron Rothschild said.

"Your Excellency, don't worry, this oil field is unimaginably big, but unfortunately I am not capable of developing it on my own, you must know that opening an oil field there is not something that can be done with money alone, but it will be different if you join us." Yang Feng said sincerely.

"What about the shares?" Baron Rothschild said.

"One and a half." Yang Feng said.

"Yang, you have to know that I invest more than just money." Baron Rothschild said lightly

"Your Excellency, I'm not just investing money." Yang Feng said with a smile.

"Four-six, I'm six, you're four."

"Your Excellency, there is no need for someone of our stature to bargain like a street vendor, right?" Yang Feng said.

"This involves a management issue, who will make the decision in our company if it is fifty or five points?" Baron Rothschild said.

"Why don't we change the way, such a treasure, if it's just for you and me to share, I think it's a bit inappropriate, and it's very unfair to other friends, why don't we pull His Royal Highness Victor in again, forty percent of us alone, twenty percent to His Royal Highness Victor, and it will be easier to resolve any differences in the future." Yang Feng thought for a while and said.

Rothschild looked at him for a moment and shrugged his shoulders and said, "Why not?"

Now that it's decided, it's natural to look for a fool, and of course it's better to find his butler vampire than to find him! Of course, Eric is very interested in this investment, who does not know that investing in oil is now profitable, according to the speed of the popularization of diesel and gasoline engines, it will not take two years for Europe to be full of cars, if it is promoted to the sea, then the oil is even more crazy growth, it can be said that as long as there is an oil field, it is equivalent to a treasure.

However, he and Rothschild are not stupid, and the condition of cooperation is that Yang Feng must be able to find an oil field, otherwise he will have to compensate the losses of the two of them.

"Of course that's fine." Boss Yang patted his chest and said, but he also added that in the future, the security of Imperial Oil must be taken care of by his American Ambrera Company.

Rothschild and vampires have no problem with this, the sign of the British Empire is the biggest umbrella of the imperial oil, and the rest is nothing more than some small things such as fire prevention, theft and banditry, and the cost of using American mercenaries is much cheaper than recruiting from the United Kingdom, and those Yankees are more suitable for this kind of work.

"In fact, from the analysis of geological structure, Persia will definitely not have only this oil field, why don't we simply buy the oil exploration rights of the entire Persia?" Yang Feng proposed a new Jianyì.

Baron Rothschild and Eric looked at each other, and then Eric said, "In that case, I'm afraid we will have to add the Persian royal family to our collaborators, otherwise it will be difficult to monopolize the entire Persian oil."

"Then give him a little yes, the three of us will give up a part of the shares, and put them together and assign them to the Persian royal family, if it doesn't exceed 12 percent, I think we can consider it." Yang Feng said.

The main purpose of his oil company is not to make money, but to hope that the more complex the ingredients, the better, and the more people there are, the more differences! Where is there war without disagreements, and what are his mercenaries doing idle without war?

So such an oil giant called Imperial Oil was born, and the next thing is the formation of the company, which does not need to be worried about Yang Feng, Rothschild has talents under him, and soon all the legal formalities are completed, the office is set up, and then all kinds of employees are recruited.
