At present, the naval division is commanded by the offshore warships, also known as President Guo Baochang, and the other party is the second uncle, which is just 0.5 grades higher than the chicken!

Mi Ji doesn't want to be like the protagonists in some time-traveling novels, and draw a battleship at every turn, which is simply a magic stroke Ma Liang has crossed!

The battleship is too large to be brought over with storage space, so it can only be ......

But first, we have to go to the gates of the Western powers and beg for food and scavenge some money from them!

"Let me see ......" The international oil price in 1894 was $0.84 a barrel, and next year, it will soar to $1.36!

So, the kind and benevolent second-hand young man decided to return the American things to the United States!

"Mr. Wang, none of them are easy to mess with!" Chen Jiaxin, a Chinese-American youth who grew up in New York, became an assistant and translator for the second-hand youth

Although the chicken's English can still be spoken, the local slang and speed of speech in the United States are a threshold and require the help of professionals. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Humph! It's so annoying, I'm not going to mess with it! "The one he wants to meet is the American financial magnate J.P. Morgan

In July 1890, the U.S. Congress passed the Sherman Silver Acquisition Act. The bill requires the U.S. Treasury to buy silver every month, up to $50 million a year.

The Treasury was to pay for the silver in a new banknote, the 1890 U.S. Treasury Bill.

In the event of a payment obstacle, it can be repaid with gold, which lays a huge bane, and the holder of banknotes issued in silver can claim gold for payment!

In the first six months of 1891, U.S. gold exports exceeded the total U.S. gold exports in the previous 25 years!

With the bankruptcy of the National Rope Company, this event led to an avalanche in the securities market, followed by a crisis in the solvency of the banks, and the public went to the banks to withdraw money - gold, silver, including paper money.

By 1894, the U.S. government was effectively beyond its means and on the verge of bankruptcy.

J.P. Morgan is working with the Rothschilds across the ocean to plan how to save President Cleveland's government and profit from it!

"Mr. Wang, I need to take a look at the relevant procedures!" The white manager was very curious about the Chinese who came to exchange dollars

Everyone else is cashing out like crazy, and what he is doing is just the opposite, completely contrary to the act.

"What if it's lost or not?" The chicken never takes those waste papers seriously

"Then I'm sorry that you can only exchange 30% of the cash, which is three hundred thousand dollars!"

Less than forty-eight tons of silver, originally worth a million dollars, because there were no legal procedures, the bulk of the profits were swallowed up by these financial vampires.

The other party also bullied himself for having no relevant experience and being a low-status Chinese.

However, when you come out to mix, you always have to save some blood before you can bleed others......

With $300,000 in cash in his arms and a second-hand assistant, he went south to Texas.

With 200,000 US dollars, he bought a plot of land with an area of 2,000 square kilometers, including the exploration and exploitation rights on it.

He spent $50,000 to hire a drilling team to drill holes in his newly purchased land.

In addition, he spent $20,000 and hired hundreds of land snakes to patrol the enclosure on horseback in all directions.

"Mr. Wang, are you really sure that there is oil on this land?" Chen Jiaxin already thinks this thing is crazy

"Maybe there is, maybe not, who knows? As long as we have the ownership contract of the land, it is enough! ”

The black gold in this field is buried less than a thousand meters, and ordinary people get into it after a thousand meters and then stop.

So that's why the East-Texas oil field, with recoverable reserves of up to 6.4 billion barrels, was only discovered in the 30s of the twentieth century!

He believes that his land covers most of the entire oil field and should be able to trap 5 billion barrels.

As long as the transfer price of each barrel reaches 0.1 US dollars, then this land alone can be pocketed by second-hand young people 500 million US dollars!

The system shows that the resources of this time and space in history coincide with 100%, which is theoretically fine.

Even if you can't drill oil, it doesn't matter, just play, this bit of silver, the chicken still spends it!

"Frank, is anyone watching the excitement on my land?" The big landlords cared about this, as if they didn't care when the oil would come out.

Fortunately, because of the geographical location, the temperature in Texas is still relatively pleasant, and even if you stay outdoors, you will not feel the cold wind.

The Boss of the Snake politely replied, "Yes, sir, but don't worry, they've all been chased away by my men!" ”

The snake is also interested in buying land for drilling, he is a native of the country, but he doesn't think there is oil buried here.

Unless the reservoirs can be significantly displaced in more than 30 years, they will be drilled even if they deviate by a few kilometers.

Lao Tzu took a lot of work, spent so much effort, and consumed so long, I don't believe that there is not even a fart below!

Even higher than the chicken's expectations are the local government, which is hoping that the discovery of oil can boost the local economy......

The young man of the second cargo checked the information, and in the second year of the discovery of the East Texas oil field, the annual output was as high as more than 60 million tons!

However, looking at the repeated hollowing, Lord Time and Space Traveler also began to wonder if he was being played by the system!

Digging a well is burning money, and the chicken has begun to consider using the silver in his pocket, or even some of the gold, to continue to operate.

Frank's men drive away the animals that come to watch, and he himself falls in love with the mysterious oriental barbecue!

"Wow~! As expected............ "A week later, the good news finally came.

The drilling team drilled five wells in a row at a distance and produced oil, and it was almost certain that there was an oil field buried here.

The founder of Standard Oil who got the news - John? Davidson? Rockefeller, soon like a fly smelling stinky meat, rushed to the scene.

"$5 million, you can enjoy your retirement!" This is the buyout price given by the silent and cunning John

By 1880, 95% of the oil produced in the United States was refined by Standard Oil.

Never before in the history of the United States has a company been able to dominate the market so completely and completely.

Unmoved, he explained his logic: "Even if the purchase price is $0.05 a barrel, 1 billion barrels are worth $50 million!"

What's more, I think the reserves of this oil field are much more than a billion barrels! According to the oil production area, it can reach at least 3 to 4 billion barrels!

Whoever buys this oil field will immediately become the number one oil company in the United States and the world!

I know that the British government has always wanted a stable, reliable source of oil, and they are not short of money!

I also know that in the process of implementing a monopoly on the oil industry chain, you have offended a series of business opponents, Wall Street, the Fa Yuan, and Congress.

If they join forces, even if you want to buy this oil field in my hands, it will not be possible.

So I'm guessing you're going to take the same abnormal tactics as before, with big plans on the surface and small actions behind the scenes!

However, I would recommend that both sides reach an agreement calmly before completely tearing their faces!

Otherwise, if you insist on adopting a low-price strategy and forcibly buy my oil fields in the way of Westerners.

I'll use traditional Eastern methods, and if I can't destroy Standard Oil, I'll bring harm to your family!"

If I sell the oil field, I don't have to work hard and fly away.

You are different, you have a family, a wife, a son, and a grandson!

It's not the oil field that's in my favor, it's that I know where you live and who your family is!

If someone makes me feel uncomfortable, or has been treated unfairly, or even feels seriously threatened, I will ......

Fortunately, I only need money, gold, dollars, pounds, and the premise of a successful handshake is just a reasonable price! ”

On the one hand, the calm and capable old Rockefeller transferred his drilling team under the pretext of determining the exact reserves of the oil fields.

On the other hand, they are considering the consequences of forced takeovers, and the other party is not an American, and it seems that it is for the sake of money, at any cost, and by any means, which is difficult to handle......

After repeatedly weighing the pros and cons, Uncle Rockefeller finally agreed to buy the East Texas oil field at a sky-high price of 200 million US dollars!

Standard Oil only considers the maximum recoverable reserves here to be 2 billion barrels, which translates to a buyout price of $0.1 per barrel.

If it is really discovered that the reserves have increased, even reaching 6.4 billion barrels in the original space-time, it will be their net profit.

Even at 4 billion barrels, the average price per barrel would be reduced to $0.05, and the price of oil would be at least 10 times higher.

The $200 million was not a one-time payment, with Standard Oil making an upfront payment of $50 million and the remainder over three years.

In view of the fact that the energy giant is pinching three-quarters of its own established income, Miji can only agree to the other party's equity in Standard Oil as collateral with its oil fields.

As for that scrap of paper-like contract, it can only be regarded as a by-product of negotiations that is better than nothing.

In addition, the purchase price also includes the right to use the new drilling technology.

In order to stabilize the wall of the borehole and prevent it from collapsing, Miji pioneered the clay mud of this time and space.

A mud pond was dug at the well site and water was added to the pond with a fire-fighting hose.

The cattle are driven into the pond and trampled indiscriminately, "stirred" into clay mud, and pumped into the well, with good results.

The second-hand young man installed the first "Christmas tree" in his oil well and controlled the strong blowout.

Includes multiple elements, including nozzles, tees, gate valves, and vertical and horizontal tubing, to control flow and pressure at the wellhead.

Oil companies were now using fishtail bits until the 20th century, which could not be drilled in harder formations.

The chicken has been replaced with an incomparably strong diamond drill bit, made by the alliance, quality guaranteed, and can easily reach a depth of 3,000 meters.

If Uncle Rockefeller didn't buy all these bits and pieces, his drilling team would be standing on top of the oil field, and they wouldn't be able to recover oil!

The things that the second-hand youth sold him were all technical products of the twenties and thirties of the last century, and even the beginning of the twentieth century.

But at the moment, it is already a very advanced instrument, which animal is disdainful, and it can be invented by itself!

"I also want to get the production technology and authorization for this car!" The sharp-eyed Uncle Rockefeller fell in love with the Ford T

This is an antique car bought by Miji, and since driving this thing around the oil field a few times, the nominal richest man in the world has seen it in his eyes and can't pull it out.

Comfortable than riding a horse, more fashionable than a carriage, it is conceivable that even if the price is high, it will become a target sought after by the wealthy.

Because the car is a product of industrialization, the identity and status of the owner of the generation, which is incomparable to other things.

Although the car may be reduced to a luxury when the production capacity is insufficient in the early stage, as long as it does not affect the profit!

If a car makes a net profit of $5,000, 10,000 vehicles can pocket $50 million, which is definitely not worse than selling oil.

“…… This can be transferred, however, it requires additional money, and only the production technology is sold, and all the patents are still owned by me! ”

“…… OK! "After the on-demand broadcast of the great time-space mentor, Uncle Oil has had a complete epiphany.

The popularization of automobiles, especially those that have been mass-produced in industry, is the ultimate way for oil companies.

The days of making money by buying kerosene can basically be over, and compared with gas and oil, this is simply a drop in the bucket.

"The lifetime authorized production cost is 10 million US dollars, and 20% of the net profit of each car belongs to me!"

“…… Deal! "The oil master did not hesitate, because this is not an oil field, as long as there is a factory, it can be produced anywhere.

Standard Oil has become the world's largest energy supplier, although its main business is Tedrip kerosene.

And Standard Auto will become another giant company, and the scale of the swelling is even more terrifying than the former.

On January 29, 1886, the German engineer Karl ? Benz filed a patent for his three-wheeled motor vehicle.

Then the Englishman Butler, the Italian Bernard, and the Russians Puchlov and Vlopov all made finished products.

But either the horsepower is insufficient, or the speed is too slow, or the reliability is too poor, or the cost is too high......

In short, these things are not likely to be popular!

Until the advent of the Model T, a garbage made by an assembly line, but it was the darling of the times.

Because of the low cost, the price of Qinmin ($825), so that Henry? With this product, Ford became one of the world's top automakers.

From 1908 to 1927, the Model T sold as many as 15 million units in the United States, comparable to the later classic car - Beetle!

But these are the things of the oil uncle, the old Rockefeller, and the chicken only wants to get that 20% of the net profit!
