Chapter Ninety-Five: Oil

Oil is known as the blood of industry, and the development of industry is inseparable from the use of oil, so the value of oil is huge, and it is also called black gold.

The bait thrown by Luo Chuan was oil.

"Oh my God, there's no way to accurately predict the location of the oil fields, and even though you're a magical magician, it's still amazing!" Smith couldn't believe it, but the few gold bricks in front of him kept reminding him that there was an all-powerful magician in front of him.

"I don't have to lie to you, this kind of thing, you can know it as long as you probe it!" Luo Chuan directly threw out a bomb, said the location of a small oil field in the future, and said: "This is a gift from me, you can send someone to probe it first, and then we will discuss the next cooperation." ”

In later generations, the exploitation of oil is decreasing, and many oil mines have been depleted, but in this era is different, it is still in the initial stage of industrial development, and the world's major oil mines have not yet been discovered.

The oil used in the United States is basically imported, and many people even say that there is no oil in the United States. But in reality, the United States not only owns oil, but also has some of the highest oil reserves in the world.

However, these oil fields have not yet been discovered.

Although it is not clear the distribution of all the oil fields in the United States, Luo Chuan is from later generations, but he remembers that more than 80% of the reserves in the United States are concentrated in four states in the United States: Texas, Alaska, Louisiana and California. There are also some of the more famous locations of large oil fields in later generations. For example, the largest oil field in the United States, the Eagleville oil field, as well as the Sprabory oil field, the Missippipi Canyon oil field and other extremely famous large oil fields.

In this era, the western part of the United States was still a vast uninhabited area, and as long as you had money, you could buy a lot of land and then extract oil.

Therefore, Luo Chuan does not mind throwing a little benefit to Smith and others, opening a way for himself in the United States, helping Chinese seek welfare, and enhancing Chinese's influence and discourse. Just sacrificing a little insignificant benefit, as a Chinese, what can be done with a gesture, why not?

"Oh my God, if that's true, it's a gift from God!" Smith was thrilled. He came from a political family, but in the United States, politics is often linked to money, and if you don't have a strong enough economy to back you up, you won't be able to go far in politics. The current power of the Smith family is limited to a few states, including New York, and because the economy is supported by a few merchant families, it has to compromise in many ways. However, if the Smith family can own their own oil fields, please be bound by the merchants, the power of the Smith family will definitely go to a higher level.

The expressions of the other people were similar. Oil is an endless source of wealth, and the temptation is too great for anyone.

"This is a big matter, I have to discuss it with the old guys at home, and I need to send someone to the place you said to investigate, if it can be proved that there is indeed an oil field there, let alone you want to set up a Chinese association, even if you want to be a parliamentarian." Smith was anxious to tell the family about it.

The other two couldn't wait to say goodbye and went back to deliver the news.

Only Alice and Rockefeller remained. Alice's father is a sheriff, and Alice herself is not very interested in money, so Alice thinks it is more interesting to stay with the mysterious magician than the oil field.

As for Rockefeller, he simply has no strength, he was born in a poor family, and now he has just solved the problem of food and clothing, even if he gets the news of the oil field, he does not have the strength to participate.

However, Luo Chuan's most optimistic person is none other than Rockefeller, the famous oil magnate and capitalist in later generations. In later generations, Rockefeller relied on oil to become the first billionaire in the United States. However, that should be more than ten years later. The current Rockefeller is just a poor dick.

Luo Chuan slowly put down the teacup, looked at Rockefeller with a smile, and said leisurely: "John, how is it, are you interested in helping me do things?"

A gleam flashed in Rockefeller's eyes, and then he said gloomily, "I can't think of anything I can do to help you, Mr. Magician!"

"No...... I'm optimistic about you as a person. I can see that you are an unwilling person, and you are also capable, but there is no platform to give you a chance. Luo Chuan smiled, "You know, I'm an oriental magician, and my usual time is mainly used to practice magic, and it's too wasteful to deal with those merchants, I need to find an agent!"

"You're saying I'm going to help you with the Smith family's oil field development?" Rockefeller said in a voice-over.

"Of course, it's not limited to this!" Luo Chuan said with a smile, "I know a lot of oil fields, as long as you help me loyally, you can also get shares in the oil fields in the future, and you will soon become an upper-class person in the United States, instead of worrying about the food and clothing of your family every day like now." ”

"Dear Mr. Magician, I am willing to serve you!"

Rockefeller was surprised and delighted, for him, this was simply a wonderful opportunity, and there was no reason to turn it down.

"We need to start with a company. It is best to buy those oil fields for the reason of developing farms, and then explore and develop ......" Rockefeller has always been an unwilling ordinary guy, so he has long thought about starting his own business, and he is also clear about this aspect of the problem, and immediately grasped the key point.

"I'll leave these things to you, as well as the things to contact with Smith and them, you need money, you can come to me at any time!" Luo Chuan was very generous, and directly threw a gold brick to the other party.

Looking at the back of Rockefeller leaving, Alice was curious: "Aren't you afraid that he will run away with gold? You know, he has never seen so much money before." ”

"As long as he is a smart person, he will know how to choose to gain more. And don't forget who I am, if he wants to run, tomorrow there will be one more floating corpse in the Atlantic. Luo Chuan said quietly.

"I just like your domineering!" Alice grabbed Luo Chuan's arm again at some point, and a pair of plump squeezed around his arm, making people's hearts ripple.

Luo Chuan pulled out his arm without leaving a trace, and said with a smile: "It's almost dark, you should go back, I don't want your father to come to me with a gun, or the streets of New York will be full of my wanted notices tomorrow!"

Alice pouted, looking at Luo Chuan pitifully like an aggrieved kitten, and seeing that Luo Chuan was still unmoved, she left helplessly.

......

Luo Chuan sighed slightly: In order to prevent shielding, he is destined to be lonely for a lifetime!
