Li Mo really wanted to punch Thomas in the face, this guy was still thinking about the gold mine! Doesn't he know that the contents of these lands are dozens or hundreds of times larger than gold mines?

"Here, there is the most abundant oil resources!" Li Mo pointed to the Gulf of Mexico, and then slowly moved his fingers to Western Australia and the Middle East. "And here, there's a lot of iron ore, there's a lot of gold and Texas oil fields."

Dizzy, completely dizzy!

"But I've already bought the gold and iron ore!" Young Master Li was triumphant. He wasn't lying, since the last auction ended, he had sent all the Canadian prospectors to Western Australia, and had discovered several important mines, especially the most important iron mines! However, due to limited funds, he could only buy the land and mining rights, but he still officially started construction.

All that is left to do now is to send Thomas over and use his British status as a cover to officially start work. That's one of the most tempting places in the Asia-Pacific region, how can it be cheaper than someone else!

Poof, Thomas fell headlong, trembling and pointing at Master Li, only squeezing out two words for a long time: "Shameless!" ”

"Shameless! There are even more shameless ones! Li Mo pointed at Kuwait and shouted: "As for here, it will be a miracle!" Because it contains half of the world's total oil reserves! ”

Thomas, who had just returned from Chile and was dazed by the miraculous reserves of the three major copper mines, was so angry that his eyes turned black when he heard that the Australian gold mines were gone, but he didn't wait for the attack, and heard that 50% of the world's total oil reserves were 50%! Suddenly, my eyes went black, and I fell directly!

Fifty percent of the world's total oil reserves! What is this concept?

Even if he doesn't do anything, as long as he fills these lands with tubes, he can become the richest man in the world! Even the Queen of England can't compare to him!

Oh no! The second richest man! The first super-rich man is naturally Master Li, who accounts for 60% of the shares!

"But." George was not frightened by the map, and was a little surprised when he remembered what Li Mo had just said: "Lee, does this have anything to do with the annexation of Rockefeller's Standard Oil Company?" ”

"Yes! Of course! Young Master Li, who had also been infected by Thomas, stood on the chair and excitedly pointed to the map and shouted: "Think about it, if we publish the reserves in the Gulf of Mexico and then inject the oil fields into the shares of the East Texas Oil Company, then what will it cost Rockefeller to maintain the original shares?" ”

Thomas is starting to snap his fingers! Despise him, he is a multimillionaire, and he doesn't know the account! George, on the other hand, seemed to have been prepared for this, and after thinking about it, he said: "I need to come up with about 500 million dollars in cash, and I also need to inject capital into all the refineries under my name!" ”

"Five ......, five hundred million dollars!" Thomas had already stammered, and Limer decided to ignore him and continued to discuss with George: "So do you think Rockefeller might come up with half a billion dollars?" And all the refineries under its name will be taken out. ”

George shook his head decisively, not to mention that Rockefeller couldn't take out $500 million at this time, and even if he could, he couldn't do that!

"That's right!" Li Mo slapped the table and said, "Since Rockefeller can't come up with so much money, then he can only watch his stake in the East Texas Oil Company shrink, so that we can completely control the two major oil fields in the United States!" ”

The more Li Mo said, the more excited he became: "Then, we can use the oil fields as collateral to build our own refineries, so that we can completely break the Rockefeller monopoly, you think, what will he do when he finds out that the two largest oil fields in the United States are out of control, and there is a larger oil refining trust in the world?" ”

"What will you do?" George didn't know, and neither did Thomas, but one thing is for sure, Rockefeller was completely finished! If someone makes an offer to him at this time, he will definitely be very willing.

"No, he's not going to sit and wait to die, he's not going to willingly give up his stake in East Texas Oil, so he's going to find someone." Li Mo unconsciously drew a few strokes on the blank paper with affirmative force, and continued: "But in the United States, no one can take out hundreds of millions at once, even if he unites Morgan!" So he will definitely go to Europe for help! ”

"Europe! Ask whom? George and Thomas swallowed, and their appetites were suddenly lifted. Who else can come up with that much money? Could it be that Rockefeller would give up his American identity to find the Queen? ”

"Queen? Isn't it remarkable?! Li Mo sneered and didn't continue, the person who bought the gold mine he threw out at the auction in New York that day, and stood behind Morgan and Rockefeller, he would not be willing to be swallowed up by Rockefeller like this!

Then let's have an invisible dark war!

Young Master Li clenched his fists hard, his heart seemed to be jerked by something, and the thought that this sudden thought might make him stand against that family, he couldn't help but feel his adrenaline soaring!

But if you want to train the United States, you will never be able to avoid him! In that case, it's better to take advantage of now! Take advantage of the annexation of Rockefeller's Standard Oil Company and consume more of his blood!

In this era, no one knows how much wealth is buried under the dry desert of the Middle East, as long as the technology matures in a few years, the young master can build dreadnoughts and aircraft carriers, and the safety of the route from the Gulf region to the South China Sea to the Far East can be guaranteed, then the whole world must look at the face of Young Master Li!

Seeing that Li Mo stopped talking, George thought he was thinking about this bold idea, and also raised another concern: "Li, there is another big problem, although you have found oil fields in the shallow sea area you circled, but the average water depth there is fifty meters, we can't develop it on a large scale, even if the reserves are announced, I'm afraid Rockefeller is not too nervous!" ”

"And, judging by the current amount of oil consumption, even if we extract it, no one will buy it! It can only lower the price in disguise. George threw out one last question.

Of course, Li Mo can't say that his Li power laboratory has already advanced by leaps and bounds in the internal combustion engine after Diesel came to Hawaii in desperation, and he can't tell them that he just arranged someone to build a car factory, so he simply fooled: "Believe me, in three years at most, oil consumption will increase several times or even dozens of times compared to now!" ”

"Dozens of times?"

Before Thomas and George could react, Master Li said, "As for oil extraction at sea, it's very simple. ”

Li Mo racked his brains, and he didn't figure out when he appeared when he got into the platform, but this was not difficult for Master Li, I saw him quickly spread out a blank piece of paper, and quickly drew a big ship with a big hole in the middle, boxy, and weird.

"You can use this." Li Mo looked at his graffiti proudly, and explained excitedly: "This is a kind of oil exploitation ship I designed, the speed does not need to be too fast, the middle is vacated to install drilling, using seawater as a load, when it reaches the sea area, the water tank begins to fill water, so that the ship is half sunk into the water, so that even if the wind and waves are stronger, it will not affect the normal exploitation." ”

"Transportation, you can use specially designed oil tankers and hand them over to my Pacific Freight Company!"

"Contempt! Don't forget to put food in your bowl at any time! Thomas raised his middle finger.

Looking at the world's first offshore oil drilling platform, both of them were bright-eyed, and they almost pounced on the drawings, with this kind of ship, the development of oil fields in the shallow waters of the Gulf of Mexico is just around the corner!

After resting for a few days, George was the first to be the first to can't help it, took the sketch drawn by Li Mo, and immediately rushed to the United States to find someone to see if he could design it, and Thomas didn't even want a wife, so he took the cruise of the Pacific Shipping Company and took the map of Master Li to the three enclosures.

Without waiting for George's reply, Thomas was the first to send a telegram, because of his British status and the fact that he was the most famous gold point master in the world, the Governor of Australia was so happy that he circled most of the western region, and hoped that he could turn the decay into magic and promote the development of Western Australia.

Riyadh and Kuwait are even simpler, if the Rashid family wants to maintain their rule, they must look at the face of the British, not to mention that they don't care much about oil in the first place, and there are only two or three small oil wells in the huge Middle East at the moment, so under Thomas's Golden Yuan offensive, the British political axe quickly helped him get a century-old land lease in the entire region, and he even directly acquired those small oil wells in the end.

The new Media Asia Oil Company was finally formed at the end of 1893, and the super-oil trust, which controlled Kuwait, Western Australia, and almost the entire later Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, began to emerge, and because it was registered in Hawaii and operated outside the United States, there was nothing to be done about it even if the United States appeared a few years later.

However, before making huge profits, Li Mo had to spend a huge sum of 10 million pounds, which could not be taken out of the Government Council, and the 6 million pounds they got had almost half of it after expanding the port and investing in infrastructure.

So he had to take out the last copper plate from the private treasury in extreme pain, but this also means that Media Asia Oil will be his private investment, plus Thomas's 10 million, a total of 20 million pounds as an initial investment, and according to the calculations of the three of them, in order to fully achieve the oil empire that Li Mo envisioned can envelop the world, the total investment needs to reach 200 million pounds!

The 200 million pounds in 1893 was very difficult for even the richest European countries to come up with at once, and it was certainly unacceptable for Li Mo to scrape together this money unless he sold all the gold and jewelry he currently owned.

Fortunately, the investment is a stage surname, and the initial construction can already be completed with a huge capital of 20 million.

Cindy, who originally wanted to leave with Thomas, also chose to stay after getting the news that Thomas promised that she would settle in Hawaii, but the big beauty was not idle, and asked Li Mo to set up a Hawaiian pharmaceutical factory on a piece of land, in her words, to produce aspirin as soon as possible, so that everyone can enjoy the gospel brought by the new medicine.

The idea was great, but someone was not that noble, and rushed straight to Cindy's office and said, "Dear Cindy, can you add some useless and harmless ingredients to the ingredients?" Like flour, sugar, honey or vitamins? ”

"Lee, you know? You're the most cunning and cunning villain I've ever seen! Cindy kicked Master Li out of the office
