In the carriage near the Wuhu wharf, Yan Shao leaned on his seat and read a newspaper with relish.

In this local Wuhu newspaper, a group of specially invited experts are discussing in a very professional tone how long the Wuhu textile factory can hold out under the Japanese offensive. I have to say that these uncrowned kings are indeed powerful, and many details that even Yan Shao himself didn't know about the Dao were actually dug up by them, and after some debate, this group of experts finally agreed that Yan Shao could only hold out for another two to three months at most.

"Fortunately, I didn't let you dig out the matter of the oil field..."Thinking that there were so many details in the factory that he didn't even know about, Yan Shao wiped the sweat that didn't exist on his forehead.

After reading the content about the textile factory, Yan Shao turned to the next page.

Not long ago, the Qing government issued an edict to send five ministers to the East and West to inspect politics, but not long after they went out, they were bombed by a member of the Restoration Society named Wu Yue.

"Will there be a restoration?" closed the newspaper, Yan Shao closed his eyes and muttered for a moment. In the near future, it will be time to prepare for the constitution, and then there will be the Consultative Bureau..."For Yan Shao, the Consultative Bureau is also a very important part of the planning.

Just when Yan Shao was thinking about how to use the Advisory Bureau, he knocked on the car door and Li Liang raised his voice. "Boss, the boat is coming..."

"Is it already here?" Hearing that the boat was coming, Yan Shao tidied up his clothes.

A passenger ship on the river is slowly heading towards the pier, after seeing the name on the side of the ship through the telescope. Yan Shaozhi said: This is the passenger ship that Rockefeller Jr. was on.

With the efforts of the crew, the passenger ship slowly docked next to the pier.

Little Rockefeller, who came off the ship, looked very smart in a crisp black suit. Behind him were more than a dozen members of his retinue who had followed him from the United States.

"You're Mr. Yan Shao, right..."Stretching out his right hand, little Rockefeller nodded and smiled, while observing the other party without a trace.

"That's right." Also stretching out his right hand, Yan Shao smiled. "It's been a hard journey, do you want to arrange a place for you to rest first, and the business matters will be talked about tomorrow?"

"Do you want to rest?" think about the fact that after rushing from the United States all the way, my body was indeed a little tired. Rockefeller Jr. nodded. "It's fine."

Seeing that little Rockefeller agreed, Yan Shao invited him to board the carriage with him.

The place Yan Shao arranged for him was actually the manor where he lived. There were dozens of bedrooms there, perfectly used to arrange little Rockefeller and his entourage.

Standing in the bedroom arranged for him by Yan Shao, little Rockefeller nodded with satisfaction, and then looked out the window. In addition to a large lawn around the house. There are also several gardens and an outdoor swimming pool. And, of course, hundreds of gun-wielding 'troops' outside the estate.

"It's a nice place..."

Thinking so, little Rockefeller stretched his body and lay down on the bed.

After more than a month of continuous trips, although everything was spent on the ship, he still felt a deep tiredness.

"I hope everything goes well next...", before falling asleep, it was the only thought on Rockefeller Jr.'s mind.

In fact, it's not just him, even Yan Shao hopes that everything will go well. After all, it's a matter of life and death for textile mills. Although textile mills are nothing compared to the oil fields in Mexico, if possible. He still wants to keep the mill alive.

The next day, the spirited little Rockefeller had just dressed when he received an invitation from Yan Shao to have breakfast together.

Walking down the stairs, little Rockefeller saw Elano and Caterina, whom he hadn't seen yesterday. After a flash of surprise in his eyes, little Rockefeller smiled at Yan Shao. "It's really enviable to be accompanied by such two beautiful young ladies."

Before leaving, Rockefeller Jr. had asked his subordinates to collect information about Yan Shao, and naturally recognized Elano and Caterina. And when they were in New York, the relationship between the three was hyped by the local media, and Rockefeller Jr. also read these newspapers, so he was no stranger to the relationship between the three.

Hearing Little Rockefeller's words, the two were stunned for a moment, and then nodded to accept his praise, but hearing his words, Yan Shao muttered softly on the side. "Pretty is beautiful, it's just too powerful..."

Little Rockefeller didn't expect Yan Shao to answer like this, and after a little flustering, he laughed heartily.

Little Rockefeller could hear it, and so could Elano and Caterina. However, because there were outsiders, the two just glanced at him coldly, and the ferocity contained in it was not only Yan Shao, but even the little Rockefeller who was affected had a chilling feeling.

Sensing the subtle atmosphere in the three-person room, little Rockefeller wisely did not interject, just quietly enjoyed breakfast next to him, and at the same time pondered how to carry out this transaction.

Before he left, he had already packed two documents in his briefcase. One of them is to buy the crude oil produced by the oil well every day from Yan Shao's hand at the market price, and the other is to buy the Mexican oil company directly from Yan Shao's hands, for which Standard Oil will pay a large sum of money and a certain share of the annual income.

Rockefeller Jr. himself preferred the latter, and while it would cost a lot of money to do so, the amount of crude oil spewed out from the wells each year should not be overlooked. In 1902, Rockefeller's entire household fortune was more than $200 million, and the Dospocas 1 well, owned by Petroleos Mexicanos, spewed nearly $30 million worth of crude oil a year.

Not only him, but most of the other oil dealers who came to the door also leaned towards the latter.

For this reason, they even thought of using some special means to make Yan Shao submit, but after all, this is not Mexico but China, and there is a Pacific Ocean between it and the United States. No matter how many means there are, unless an army can be sent over, a few or more cowboys alone will not be able to threaten Yan Shao at all. The same goes for Rockefeller Jr.

So after seeing the 'army' guarding the manor, numbering more than 100 people, Rockefeller Jr. had to abandon the latter. Instead, lean towards the former.

After breakfast, little Rockefeller looked at Yan Shao and felt that the negotiations between the two could begin, while Yan Shao patted Elaline and Caterina on the back and signaled them to wait for him for a while.

"Please come here..."Getting up from his chair, Yan Shao motioned for little Rockefeller to come with him.

After walking into the living room, Rockefeller Jr. went straight to the point. "It's an agreement. Standard Oil will buy all the crude oil produced by Petroleos Mexicanos now at a price of 82 cents per barrel. ”

Took the agreement handed over by Rockefeller Jr. Yan Shao frowned. "Isn't it $1 a barrel?" Standard Oil used to buy oil from Petroleos Mexicanos at a price of $1, but now it is suddenly almost 20 cents less, which is inevitably a little strange.

But what really weird him was. Standard Oil did not offer a stake in the company or simply bought the company. Just buying oil...

"Could it be that a 10,000-ton well is not attractive enough?"

In fact, this is also a misunderstanding in Yan Shao's thinking, as an oil giant in this era, Standard Oil almost monopolizes all the refining and oil transportation capacity. But the production of crude oil has not reached the point of monopoly, and although Rockefeller Jr. also wants to get his share of Tampico land, he thinks no one will want to sell a rooster that can lay golden eggs.

Of course, if it's just like this, it's simple, just find some people to use special means to make Yan Shao submit, this kind of thing has not been done by Standard Oil in the past. But this is China. What's more, Yan Shao still has an 'army' of more than 300 people in his hands, across an ocean. Even Standard Oil is not capable of threatening Yan Shao.

Since you can't buy a rooster that lays golden eggs, it's not unacceptable to buy eggs directly from Yan Shao's hands.

A 10,000-ton well is tempting for Standard Oil, but not to the point where they lose their minds.

I don't understand that Yan Shao actually wants to sell the oil field to him directly, and after hearing Yan Shao's words, Little Rockefeller smiled slightly. "There is no way to do this, every 10,000-ton well will affect the price of oil, the oil well that your company found in Mexico belongs to 10,000-ton wells, the price of 82 cents is actually quite good, and the most important thing is that only Standard Oil can accept such a large amount of crude oil in the whole Americas..."

frowned, although Rockefeller Jr.'s explanation was 'convincing', Yan Shao still planned to fight for it, after all, every penny on it represented millions of annual income.

The little Rockefeller on the other side also straightened his sitting posture, planning to take out a few chips in the next negotiations. But just as the two were about to argue about the details, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Come in...", signaling a pause, Yan Shao turned his head and raised his voice.

With Yan Shao's permission, Caterina in civilian clothes appeared outside the door, and after nodding to Little Rockefeller, Caterina whispered in Yan Shao's ear with some excitement.

On the other side, little Rockefeller, who didn't know what was going on, sat quietly on the sofa, and then looked at the scar on the left side of Katerina's face with curious eyes.

"What happened to leave such a scar on such a beautiful face..."It's no wonder that little Rockefeller wondered in his heart, no way, this scar is so conspicuous that many people who see Caterina for the first time will involuntarily focus their eyes on it. But the scar didn't affect the beauty of the face in the slightest, which is a strange thing..."

Just when little Rockefeller was curious, Yan Shao on the side also showed a surprised expression.

After patting Caterina on the thigh and motioning for her to sit beside him, Yan Shao said to Little Rockefeller with a strange expression. "Well, Mr. Rockefeller Jr., there was news from Mexico just now that another 10,000-ton well has been drilled in Tampico, and the daily production is about 15,000 tons, do you think this agreement needs to be changed again?"

The oil well in Yan Shao's mouth is the famous Petrero Drano No. 4 in history, with a production of more than 15,000 tons, which not only symbolizes amazing wealth, but also breaks the No. 1 position in Mexico that Dospocas No. 1 once held...
