"Young master, it didn't work!"
Chen Ping came back with a bitter face to report, it has been five days since he came to San Francisco, and the gold bars he brought became 150,000 US dollars, which is worthy of the famous Citibank in later generations, not only is it efficient, but also gave a limit check, but before Master Li's check was opened, there was bad news, at this moment, several San Francisco shipyards can only produce some small boats, there is no such large cargo ship that can carry 1,000 tons of cargo as Li Yunfei wants, and even if there is, 150,000 US dollars is far from enough.
"There's little money!" Li Mo looked at the checkbook with a wry smile, and kept thinking in his heart, how can I turn 150,000 into 1 million, 10 million in the fastest way?
"Why don't we buy some boats!" As soon as Chen Ping suggested, he saw Li Mo shaking his head and said, "Forget it, save some money." ”
After Li Mo finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Thomas who was in a daze on the side, squinted his eyes and teased: "Dear Thomas, is there any way for you Jews to turn 150,000 into 1 million?" ”
Thomas, who was accustomed to Li Mo's attitude, turned his head and ignored it. "Yaya, dare not dump the young master, you wait." The more Li Mo thought about it, the more angry he became, and he directly scolded him: "Say, don't you talk to me every day, saying that you Jews end up doing business?" How are you dumb now! ”
"A hundred thousand into a million? God, I'm not a Rockefeller. In the end, Thomas almost knelt down for Li Mo, so he had to cry and wail.
"Wait, what do you say? Rockefeller? I'd love to hear that name there? The angry Li Mo couldn't remember it all of a sudden, but fortunately, Thomas explained it for him: "Dear Li, don't you know? Rockefeller was the elite of our Jews, and his oil trust ruled the world. ”
"By the way, how did I forget this God of Wealth!" Li Mo patted his head and suddenly stared at Thomas.
Thomas, who was stared at all over his body, didn't dare to leave, so he had to avoid Li Mo's gradually green eyes, and could only pray in his heart, this guy don't go crazy, just when he really couldn't hold on, he suddenly heard Li Mo ask: "Thomas, do you know about oil exploitation?" ”
"Oil extraction? What is this guy going to do? Thomas didn't understand why Li Mo started to care about oil, but he still replied quickly: "I know something, but dear Li, you're not going to enter the oil world, are you?" Although Rockefeller is the elite of our Jews, I don't think he would want anyone to take his cake! ”
"No, no." Li Mo shook his head, the corners of his mouth drew a slightly upturned arc, and said: "I don't want to enter the oil industry yet, but you said that if I sell a big oil field to Rockefeller now, do you think he will want it?" ”
"Big oil field!" Thomas, who had seen Li Mo's golden fingers, suddenly lit up, but soon he reminded worriedly: "Dear Li, do you really know where there is a big oil field?" Oil is not gold, and it will take at least three years to accurately detect the reserves. ”
"I don't know how much reserves there are, but at least there should be ......." Li Mo stretched out two fingers and hesitated for a long time, then added another finger and said fiercely: "Three hundred million tons!" ”
"God!" Thomas fainted directly!

Texas.
"Damn the weather, and that damn British!" Martin tightened his collar hard, looked at the snowflakes flying outside, and cursed inwardly.
Three months ago, when that damn British little white face went to Dallas to buy the barren land in the eastern suburbs that even the Indians did not want to patronize, almost everyone laughed at him, and the tax officer had to believe that someone really wanted to buy that land after repeated confirmation.
But the tax collector was a good man, and he was supposed to charge at least $50,000 for the land according to the area, but in the end the tax collector only collected $20,000, according to his words, in the hope of leaving some money for the British lad to buy a ferry ticket.
But just when everyone was ready to see the joke, that little white face actually brought ten sets of drilling equipment and recruited a full three thousand workers in Dallas! God, three thousand, you know, there are only two thousand people on the largest iron mine in Dallas.
Then Martin heard that the little white face said that there was oil under the land, God, is this guy crazy? The oil should be on the seashore near the Gulf of Mexico, where there are large expanses of oil drilling, not here, where there are only rocks underneath.
But the British little white face not only did not look back, but immediately after recruiting people, the ten wells were evenly separated according to the size of the land, and then started at the same time far apart, and Martin, as an employee who was recruited, had to start crazy with this little white face.
Fortunately, the British little white face did not discriminate against blacks like their white American cousins, at least half of the 3,000 were black, and the rest were yellow-skinned Mexicans.
Martin looked down on those Mexicans who had lost not only the war, but also their dignity, and what did they get when they licked their faces and joined the United States? Their land was still bought by the Americans, and their women ran away with the richer American little white faces, and they lost almost everything!
Forget it, I don't want to do this, it's my turn to guard the drilling today, so let's go early, at least two dollars a month, so that the children won't starve!
Martin walked into the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and he didn't know that at the moment, he was drilling into a small house nearby, and Li Mo was also watching the weather, his face full of worry.
Of course, Li Mo is not worried that there is no oil down here, but is worried that the weather will delay the speed of extraction, and now he has no way back, 100,000 US dollars have all been turned into machines and land, if he can't mine it as soon as possible, even he doesn't know how long he can last.
Suddenly, the door was blown open by a gust of wind and water, and the snowflakes in the sky suddenly poured into the house.
"The damn weather, and those damn niggas, they're just lazy!" As soon as Thomas entered the house, he cursed as he patted the snowflakes on his body.
After filming the remnant snow, he saw a cup of steaming coffee on Li Mo's table, and hurriedly rushed over and leaned back, which was a little more comfortable, but there was one thing he couldn't figure out, why did this Chinese child, who had just turned thirteen, actually like to drink coffee? Aren't they just tea drinkers? And this coffee hasn't been sweetened yet!
"I said Thomas, aren't you afraid that I will poison it?" Seeing that Thomas, who was the most particular in Pingyue, actually drank his own saliva, Li Mo suddenly laughed.
"Poisoned?!" Thomas was stunned for a moment, then put down the cup and gritted his teeth: "Dear Lee, I don't have time to laugh, you know?" We've started to go into debt! Debt! Today's wages are all paid with loans, and if I can't find oil yet, I'd rather be poisoned now! ”
Seeing Thomas so angry, although Li Mo still had a relaxed look on his face, he was also very anxious in his heart, but he was afraid that if he was in a hurry, it would affect everyone's emotions, so he still smiled and said calmly: "Believe me, Thomas, there is really oil here!" ”
"Really? But now it's more than a few hundred meters down! Lee, you know what? I don't want to joke and I'm scared to hear anything bad! Thomas sat down, looking at the drilling schedule and map in front of him, a little overwhelmed.
And Chen Ping, who came back together, also sat silently on the sofa next to him, since three months ago, Li Mo started the oil search plan, and stopped the original plan to buy ships, buy supplies and other plans, Chen Ping is still very optimistic, but now? He regretted it a little, why didn't he persuade the young master in the first place? Now it's hard to ride a tiger, but is there really oil?
Seeing the two of them sitting next to him in a daze, Li Mo felt uncomfortable, but he couldn't tell them that the young master had traveled through time, and in his previous life, when he and the military delegation came to Dallas, he had visited this famous oil field in the United States. And this is not a mountain, nor is it a water, on the endless plains, he who once accurately calculated the route to visit will not be wrong at all.
But can you say that?
Thomas has done his best, after the plan began, he took 30,000 US dollars, from those small oil merchants on the coast, bought ten sets of drilling equipment, and brought hundreds of experienced oil workers, and whether it was later to buy land, recruit workers, or now supervise, calculate the progress, this guy has done everything he can, what else do he want?
Chen Ping also tried his best, in addition to being in charge of logistics, he also stayed by the drilling every day, personally supervised the work of the workers, was responsible for external relations, and so on, let a person who graduated from the navy do this, it was originally reluctant to do this, what else could he ask him to do?
"Are you too anxious?" Li Mo's heart was a little shaken for the first time.
"Dear Lee, tell me, is there really oil down here?" Thomas broke the silence, looked at Li Mo seriously, and said, "Oh! Stop lying to me with the words that your teacher told you, if your teacher really knows that there is oil down there, then why did he go to the Far East, does he not know that there is value? ”
It was the first time for Li Mo to see Thomas who was so serious and so helpless, thinking that this guy was just the young man who was almost killed by Rudolph half a year ago, threatened by himself, saddled up and back, and was cautious, for fear that doing something wrong would kill him, and the pressure he was bearing was indeed too great, if he didn't let him vent, maybe he would go crazy!
But there are some things you can't say! Li Mo had to smile to ease the tense atmosphere and smile: "Thomas, remember what I said to you?" Trust me, you will be the greatest mining tycoon in this world. ”
"As for how I knew there was oil here, hehe, have you ever heard of the spells of the East? Actually, I can spell! Ha ha....... After Li Mo finished speaking, he laughed, this reason for flickering is really rubbish!
Thomas obviously didn't know what a spell was, looking at Li Mo in a daze, and was about to turn his head to ask Chen Ping, but at this moment, the door was knocked open again, and Du Dazhuang was about to block the young master with his body again, but before he was halfway there, he heard Zhang Shun's shout outside!
It's oily! Young master, it's really oily!
Suddenly, everyone jumped up, and even Thomas, who couldn't hear the words, was infected by this excitement and soon understood what was happening!
"Does he really know how to spell? What is Spell? Thomas blinked.
