Chapter 436: The Mystery of Inca Treasures

Phillips Oil Company and ExxonMobil Oil Company are both world-class large companies, especially ExxonMobil Oil Company, which is the largest private company in the petrochemical field, and Exxon can be traced back to the most famous Standard Oil Company in history, the pillar industry of the Rockefeller family, until now, Exxon is still controlled by this family.

It has the right to explore and produce in dozens of countries, produces and sells hundreds of millions of tons of oil and gas annually, has 7,500 megawatts of power generation capacity in the world, including Hong Kong's power supply, and operates a variety of resource industries such as coal, iron and copper mines around the world.

The two companies have the right to exploit Lake Maracaibo, an important oil-producing area in Venezuela, for 60 years, and have discovered several large oil fields in other places in the later period, and Venezuela's oil resources are basically controlled by these two companies, and the oil exports of the two companies are tax-free, and they only need to pay a nominal 1 percent of their surname.

Even so, the two companies still have to do tricks on production to avoid more taxes, and when the original pro-American political axe faction, they turned a blind eye to the behavior of the two companies, which is also the main reason why the financial income of the Venezuelan political axe is not rich.

When Chávez came to power, he was anxious to change the situation, so he sent tax collection teams to the two companies and tried to negotiate with the two companies to take back their mining rights or raise the levy standard, because the tax rate of other oil companies is 49 percent.

According to Phillips's extraction cost, this company is the world's most advanced in extraction technology, and the extraction cost of each barrel of crude oil is $2.38, and if he calculates the tax amount of 1 percent, he needs to pay two cents, but if this barrel of oil is shipped to the United States, it can be sold for more than $20, because Venezuela is very close to the United States, and the transportation cost is only 0.7 dollars.

At 49 percent, the cost is just over a dollar, but for Venezuela, it means an increase in revenue dozens of times, but Chávez's request has not been answered, and when Chávez tried to use some administrative means, he was warned by the other party.

The hard-line Chávez naturally refused to give in, but the income from oil was the guarantee and premise for improving people's livelihood and developing the economy that he put forward at the beginning of his tenure, and he introduced many policies that were unfavorable to the other side, trying to force the other side to agree to his own proposals, and the whole country was controlled by himself, and subduing the two companies was not a trivial matter.

However, he clearly underestimated the reaction of the other side, and underestimated the ability of the other side, and as soon as he started, the pressure came from all sides, and several opposition parties on the political side put forward demands in parliament to cancel these policies, and at the same time, the largest labor organization in Venezuela, the Venezuelan Labor Union (most of whom were employees of oil companies), launched a massive strike and demonstration, and there were voices of opposition in the army, and just two months ago, a small army group tried to stage a coup d'état to oust Chávez.

And the other party is not only from the internal opponent, the Colombian side immediately deployed troops on the border, so that he did not dare to move the border troops at will, and at the same time, a large number of Colombian agents infiltrated Venezuela and created chaos in Venezuela.

Su Ming never thought that Chavez, the president, would be so difficult, just two oil companies, with such a big force and such a powerful energy, to disturb the peace of a country, it seems that a president is not so easy to do, or a talented leader is comfortable, there are not so many constraints.

If this kind of open-boiled system is put into a country that has already developed, it can play a role in reducing turmoil, so that the country will not go further and further down the wrong road, and has a strong ability to correct mistakes, but if it is put into a developing country, then mutual restraint can only delay the opportunity for development, and the opportunity for development is also fleeting for a country, and if it fails to seize the opportunity, it will fall behind, and if it falls behind, it will be beaten.

Just like in World War I, when primary industry shifted to the East, the two countries, which were also semi-colonies, seized the opportunity and began to bully China, if China seized the opportunity, perhaps it was Yuben who was invaded, of course, if the Chinese were really as harmless to humans and animals as they are now, this incident would never have happened.

It seems that the president is not so easy to be, seeing that the security personnel who have promised him really have to be arranged as soon as possible, otherwise don't wait for two days, the president was driven down by others, and so many agreements reached have come to naught, so how embarrassing he should be, if others don't say it, at least he will lose face in front of his own woman.

Su Ming asked Li Ruolin to arrange people to come over as soon as possible, if he had served as a security guard before, it would be best to transfer two more personnel who were good at training, and for the time being, according to the scale of ten people, but Su Ming asked that if he came, he would bring two Odin over, on the one hand, to use the other party as a sample, on the other hand, Odin's street fighting and assault effect was very good.

Since the matter was almost discussed, Su Ming wanted to leave, but Chavez kept Su Ming and did not let Su Ming leave, especially after the people arranged by Su Ming came over, when he saw Odin's incomparably powerful firepower and rapid galloping speed, he couldn't help but applaud this weapon full of oppressive surnames, and after testing Odin's surname ability, Chavez hurriedly added an order for ten Odin, which made Su Ming feel that it was also worth staying.

Seeing that Su Ming couldn't be retained, Chavez said that he had been in contact with the leaders of several South American countries in the past few days, trying to disturb a few more customers for Su's family, although the specific results have not yet come out, but Bolivian President Mace has agreed to hire Antai to be responsible for his security work, and also hopes to purchase a few Thor or Odin to serve as personal guard equipment.

At the same time, President Metz also invited Su Ming to Bolivia, although the business is not too big, but it is better than nothing, Bolivia can be said to be the poorest country in South America, last year's GDP was only more than 8 billion US dollars, but no matter how poor it is, it is also a country, there are still 3,000 nails in the broken ship, not to mention a country, Su Ming had to move to Bolivia, Chavez arranged for the foreign minister to accompany him on the trip, which can be regarded as giving Su Ming a great face.

The business was quickly negotiated, an employment contract of 500,000 US dollars a year, and a purchase contract of 35 million US dollars for five Odin, for Su Ming, this kind of business is really a drop in the bucket, and he can't see it in his eyes at all, but since he has come here, let's listen to Li Ruolin's good play, which can be regarded as seeing the customs and customs here and broadening his horizons.

Bolivia is poor, like a copy of Venezuela, which is rich in mineral resources, but most of them are controlled by Western companies, and the country and its people do not enjoy any benefits, and because of the discovery of resources on the territory, Chile and Paraguay have lost large swaths of territory.

Since the main territory of Bolívier is located in the Andes Mountains, which was once the location of the ancient and glorious Inca Empire, there are many ruins of the Inca Empire preserved here.

According to records, the Inca Empire was the only national power that emerged in South America, once occupied most of the land in South America, and the Incas worshipped the sun and admired gold of the same color as the sun, so the Inca Empire was also known as the country of gold.

Like the other two major civilizations in the Americas, the Mayan civilization and the Aztec civilization, the Inca civilization was also destroyed by the hands of the Spaniards, due to the lack of sufficient competition and communication, the development of the American civilization was very slow, and a country with a population of more than 10 million people was destroyed by a colonial bandit team of only 169 people, no matter what time and space, I am afraid it is a very surprising thing.

And after Su Ming bought the souvenir, a treasure map caught Su Ming's attention, this treasure map is ten dollars a piece, made of animal fur, carved on it with some patterns that no one can understand, it is said that this is the final treasure of the Inca Empire's huge gold treasure, who can decipher this treasure map, who can find the treasure of the rich country.

Moreover, the salesman even knows how to be hungry and thirsty, and only supplies fifty sheets a day, but there are a lot of foreign tourists who buy them, and other vendors in the vicinity do not have this kind of goods for sale, giving people a very unique feeling, Su Ming still lined up early in the morning to buy this treasure map.

Su Ming naturally has no interest in really cracking these treasure maps, if the treasure maps are true, just with his sales of nearly 20,000 copies a year, he has long been cracked by clever people, and since the beginning of the record, the Spaniards alone have paid the price of thousands of lives in order to find this treasure, more than the people who occupied this country and sacrificed, the ghost knows if it was the news that the Incas deliberately released in order to deceive these evil colonists.

In recent decades, except for some scientists who are still researching these, there are no explorers who believe in this legend, so there is such a hot scene of treasure map sales, most of them are holding the intention of keeping them as souvenirs, and Su Ming is no exception.

On this day, Su Ming took Li Ruolin and two beautiful and enthusiastic tour guides to Lake Titicaca, which is one of the legendary treasure places.
