In the warm applause, everyone took champagne and raised their glasses around a young Asian man and woman, and the applause and laughter continued all around.

However, in the depths of those Western rao eyes, there is a hint of ridicule and banter - is this still the era of oil tycoons at the beginning of the last century? Stepping into this business now, it means that you can't even catch up with the heat when you eat. In addition, these oil and gas plots are extremely rotten and broken places. With this Chinese tyrant, he hit the street sooner or later until his mother didn't know him.

But it doesn't matter. At least that large investment has added more than 800 jobs to the city of Denver. There are also future taxes and so on.

Then accompany this Chinese tyrant to have more fun! I hope he can have a good time, and come over a few times in the future to be a cute boss!

In the surrounding congratulations, Li Yuan also smiled all over his face, and kept nodding his head around. Gu Yuqin behind him was also happy to become a crescent moon eye - so happy! Oil tycoon yes? I didn't expect our family to become an oil tycoon like the Rockefeller family! Hee-hee-hee.

In fact, not only in China, but also in the world, the local tyrants in the minds of the common people at this time are still the two in the golden age of the United States - oil tycoon Rockefeller and bank tycoon Morgan.

This notion has long been ingrained. On the contrary, now this kind of high-tech upstarts such as computer IT are directly weak.

……

Of course, these guests at this time, almost all of them are "people who know how to obliquely." After all, Denver is a major oil and gas city in North America, and you haven't eaten pork or seen a pig run? They are all familiar with the oil and gas sector. If the oil and gas industry is so hot right now, why is the city of Denver gradually depressed?

One by one, the current oil and gas is very cheap, and the cost has already been reduced to the extreme. As for the "petrodollar" of the United States, it is nothing more than the status of the dollar as the world's common currency, not how profitable oil and gas are.

Moreover, the business of opening oil and gas fields to make money lying down, either state-owned companies of various countries, or very powerful old consortia, how can it be the turn of those rookies who have just entered the industry? As for the hard and dirty work, it really doesn't make money, and it has gradually become a sunset industry.

In particular, the contracts signed today, although the reserves are relatively large, are basically of no mining value. It's not that it can't be mined, it's that the cost of mining is outrageous and there is no economic value.

So, this Chinese Li ...... It's stupid and true!

However, others didn't know that Li Yuan was also in high spirits at this time.

You must know that the outbreak of the Enron incident has not only affected the Internet industry, but also the global oil and gas industry. At this time, domestic oil and gas imports have not really gained momentum, and the global oil and gas market is in a situation where supply far exceeds demand. As a result, many medium-sized oil companies simply can't hold on, and they are desperate to dispose of their assets.

Therefore, in the city of Denver, Li Yuan has acquired five such oil companies and obtained the mining rights of more than a dozen places in the United States and Canada. And most of them are - shale oil and shale gas.

Although shale oil and gas resources were discovered very early, due to the limitations of geological understanding and technical means, people did not pay attention to this kind of resources and did not realize its great potential. But I never expected that just a few years later, there would be a shale oil and gas revolution, with explosive growth in production and an acceptable drop in extraction costs.

The United States, in particular, has gone from being the largest importer of energy to the largest exporter of energy through this shale oil and gas revolution. Really blinded a large number of kryptonite eyes. Even this revolution has spread to other fields, causing the global coal price to plummet, and even the domestic coal bosses are not able to stand up?

However, at this time, the economy of shale oil and gas is not high, and these "rotten places" are a cabbage price.

Coupled with the maturity of the construction of oil and gas pipelines in the United States, the maturity of technical strength, and ......the maturity of the energy market, these factors are superimposed, which makes it the first to be developed.

To put it simply, everything is ready now, only the east wind is owed. The Dongfeng here is not a courier, right? It's the development of this huge new market in China.

In this case, why didn't Li Yuan come to pick up the money?

So, everyone here, they think they have made a good business, and they are quietly stealing fun. And they all think that the other party is a bad pen!

And after obtaining these oil and gas fields, in recent years, it is possible to maintain a certain amount of production. After all, no matter how bad a place is, there are still some oil and gas resources with exploitable value.

After a few years, you can enter the shale oil and gas field. It can be imported into China and easily digest this part of the production.

Then, of course, it is transferred, and the transaction is made to the giants of state-owned enterprises, which can be sold at a good price.

Anyway, the motherland Ma Ma has gained energy security, and the baby has done a good business. It's a win-win situation for everyone!

……

"Lee, thank you for your investment in Denver, and I hope your business can prosper with the local community."

"Thank you."

"Li, but I'm a little strange, how did you give the order for the slaughterhouse scraps? And still that big amount? ”

"It's mainly for processing into food, and we Chinese love to eat those ...... Well, it's our food! It's wasteful to discard, and you have to dispose of it harmlessly. It is better to export to our China. If the market is good, I am also planning to build a pretreatment plant here. ”

There was laughter all around. A certain prejudice against Chinese food has long been ingrained in European and American countries. Of course, there are not only chicken feet and duck feet, but also beef and haggis and so on. These Americans are also not very fond of food, and Denver is one of the center cities for agricultural processing.

After a few small talks, someone said, "Li, thank you again for keeping your promise to bring investment to the development of our city." ”

Li Yuan said with a smile: "My Phoenix Energy will invest in the North American market for a long time, hoping to reach an unbreakable friendship and become a great company in the field of new energy." ”

Indeed, the North American headquarters of Phoenix Energy here, of course, is the development of shale oil and gas at the beginning, and the future will definitely focus on the new energy industry. Otherwise, how can you make this wave of quick money?

In other words, the current new energy is also burning money, and traditional energy sources such as oil and gas are needed to subsidize.

"Li, I found that your investment has slowly shifted to traditional industries, such as farms and ranches, energy companies, food processing industries, etc., are you really not optimistic about the Internet in the near future?"

Li Yuan smiled: "Then you guys are a little misunderstood." Parallel Line Technology has just announced that I will personally repurchase 8.5% of the equity. And promised not to reduce its holdings within three years. ”

"Oh! I see, I hope you succeed. ”

"Thank you! I also hope that China and the United States can work together to develop! Ha ha! ”

“……”

……

Regarding the joint development of China and the United States, Li Yuan didn't take it to heart anyway, so he said it smoothly.

But then again, the United States is indeed a good place, it is equivalent to Li Yuan's treasury, as long as he is short of money to spend, he can find an opportunity to make a lot of money.

Like agricultural products, seafood, and shale oil and gas resources this time, etc., isn't it just lying down to make money? In fact, this is not to blame Li Yuan, in addition to agricultural products and oil and gas resources in the United States in the future, what else can they export to China?

In this Internet bubble burst, it did deviate at the beginning, and it seemed very magical, and it turned into a large-scale reality show.

Moreover, the Internet and other high-tech products and services have completely subverted the traditional way of shopping, communication and entertainment, and its significance is no less than replacing horse-drawn carriages with cars and replacing steam with electricity.

Even the Internet has linked people who don't know each other, lowering the barrier to entry for information transmission, and at the same time creating a large number of new economy companies and tycoons with unlimited potential.

Therefore, Li Yuan obtained more than a billion dollars of cash flow from the reduction of Parallel Line Technology. And this time the Nasdaq plummeted, and there was plenty of money to buy back.

In the midst of mourning, the performance of parallel line technology is still very good. Just like Google, Amazon, eBay, Qualcomm and other companies, although they are in the bubble, they have mastered the core technology or core products and have a large number of users, no matter how bad they are.

Therefore, in this "irrational prosperity", Internet companies have really embarked on the road of pursuing profits, and famous factories have begun to emerge. The whole world has also undergone drastic changes due to Internet technology, and technologies such as online shopping, electronic payment, Internet of Things, search engines, and social networks are subverting traditional business models.

This bubble in particular, because it is this boom that has promoted the popularization of the Internet, turning the Internet from a luxury to a daily commodity, so that more people can enjoy the convenience brought by the Internet.

Of course, these are all later words, and we are still in the painful period of bubble bursting

One after another, Internet companies squandered their assets, and then went bankrupt one after another.

The top three domestic companies also quickly fell below the $1 mark. Even like NetEase, it was forced to suspend trading by Nasdaq. Really, it's only one step away from bankruptcy.

Miraculously, with the emergence of Monternet, the top three have all come back to life one after another. NetEase, in particular, has invested in the game industry with all its might and developed the "Fantasy Journey to the West" series of games.

And because of the previous demonstration of parabolic technology, the business model of "Fantasy Journey to the West" is very similar to the "Wild" model, which makes the development faster, far exceeding the development in the original historical line.

At this time, some people were finally surprised to find that whether it was parallel line technology or domestic parabolic technology, they were particularly one step ahead? And perfectly avoided the bursting of the bubble this time?

At this moment, someone finally recalled that passage, which was the speech at the shareholders' meeting. I was immediately amazed, Brother Yuan is Brother Yuan!

All in all, the first stage, the Internet feast has ended. After the big waves, the remaining companies are ready to fly.

……

After the end of the trip to the United States, Li Yuan, Gu Yuqin and his wife came to Munich in Langguo, where the new energy exhibition will be held, and they will bring the latest products of Phoenix Solar to participate in this exhibition......

In a German-style street restaurant, Gu Yuqin stared at the plate in front of her in a daze, and her face was surprised: "Yuanzi, why is there so much meat?" And so many sausages? ”

"Hehe, the Germans are just meatless. Look around, are they all fat and strong? Li Yuan picked up a meat sausage and took a bite, "Qinqin, who told you not to listen to persuasion?" I didn't just order one, you must have one for each person, huh? ”

Gu Yuqin glanced at her: "I don't know there are so many?" Alas! It's good to bring it with Kiki, he's exactly like you, and he's sure to have a big meal. ”

"Forget it! If he's here, will the two of us be able to eat in peace? Li Yuan smiled, "It doesn't matter if you can't finish eating, you can pack it later." ”

"Oooh! Do Germans eat that much at every meal? ”

"What do you want? They can't finish it themselves. Who makes you love the signature dishes here? Li Yuan explained with a smile, "The appetites are almost the same, and everyone is born in a hard life." Just like we used to, a bowl of rice and a pickle pimple are almost enough to deal with one meal. It's the same for foreigners, a few slices of bread with butter, a bowl of soup, a few slices of vegetables. They also don't eat meat very often. ”

"Huh? Foreigners also have poor times? Gu Yuqin was taken aback.

"Isn't this nonsense? It's the same in ancient times, but in modern times, we're a hundred years behind! ”

"Oooh!"

"Hey, don't eat too much, there's dessert later, it should be a big piece of cake, right?"

"Huh? And also? No wonder the Germans are so strong? ”

"Hehe, it's all the same. When Qiqi grows up in the future, the children in China will also be tall and strong. I wish I could eat the whole world. ”

"Hee-hee. No way? ”

“……”

Phoenix New Energy's development plan is now also in the first stage – subsidizing the development of the solar industry with profits from other products.

Previously in the city of Denver, for such reasons, used for the exploitation and sale of shale oil and gas.

In China, solar water heaters are currently being sold. The total sales volume of Phoenix brand solar water heaters this year is expected to exceed 1 million units.

Especially this market is still a profiteering market, and the gross profit of each unit can be as high as more than 1,000. It has become a large profit and tax enterprise and a star enterprise in Neizhou City.

Of course, it will soon face a tragic involution, and the gross profit margin will also decline rapidly. Therefore, there are only a few years left in the good years, and a large number of solar water heater manufacturers will be out of the market in the future.

Because of this, Phoenix New Energy has started a new industrial layout, which will reduce the sales investment of water heaters, reduce costs as much as possible, and fully turn to the new solar market!
