Could it be...

At this moment, Xiao Yunhai suddenly thought of a possibility.

It's not that they didn't discover oil fields in the Midland Basin, but they discovered them, but they didn't report them.

If this is the case, it would perfectly explain why Bessie's heir wanted to buy Peck's shares.Unfortunately, he was one step too late.

But for such a big matter, if you want to completely conceal it, you need to go up and down. For example, Stephens and Luke Ulysses should know.It is simply impossible for them not to turn a blind eye or close one eye. It is simply impossible for them to muddle through.In addition, those exploration personnel who drilled oil must also participate in it.I just took advantage of others and concealed it for them.

Xiao Yunhai closed his eyes, tapped his fingers on the table lightly, and said in his heart: "This matter must be investigated thoroughly. If you are fooled by this group of people, then just find a piece of tofu and kill yourself."

Thinking of this, Xiao Yunhai walked out of the office, came to an empty corner, called Raul, and asked him to invite five or six private detectives to Texas to investigate clearly.

Just walking back to the office, I ran into Luke Ulysses at the door.

"Boss, I'm here to ask you to sign."

Xiao Yunhai was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Sign what?"

Luke Ulysses handed Xiao Yunhai an agreement, saying: "This is an agreement signed between our company and the Texas government to explore and develop desert oil in West Texas. We spent half a year, almost Been looking all over the place, still nothing."

Xiao Yunhai's heart moved, and he made a gesture to come in.

Sitting on the boss's chair, Xiao Yunhai looked at the agreement and said deliberately: "There will be oil in this environment? Who said that. Although it has indeed happened in other parts of the world, the probability is still too small. Why do you want to Exploring West Texas at such a high price?"

Luke Ulysses said respectfully: "Boss, this is the investigation conclusion drawn by the American Geological Survey, saying that there is a high possibility of a large oil field there. Our original major shareholder got it through various relationships. When I took this opportunity, I didn’t expect nothing.”

Xiao Yunhai frowned and asked: "Then why did you hand me this agreement? Isn't there still half a year left?"

Luke Ulysses said: "The exploration team is [-]% sure that there is no oil, so it is unnecessary to waste time there. Our previous contract with Texas was for one year. According to the regulations, if we can You can save [-] million U.S. dollars if you leave within a few days.”

Xiao Yunhai sneered and said: "We spent 53 billion US dollars to buy the exploration and development rights. After a huge amount of manpower, material and financial resources, we were able to leave [-] million in the end. Am I short of the [-] million? The area is so big, let them Continue to explore."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Yunhai directly turned the agreement into a ball and threw it into the trash can, but his eyes were fixed on Luke Ulysses in front of him.

Luke Ulysses was shocked at first, and even bent over to pick it up. He seemed to feel that it was inappropriate, so he quickly recovered, and then a trace of anger flashed across his face, which was fleeting.

Xiao Yunhai came to a conclusion all of a sudden, his guess was very likely to be true.

Otherwise, it is impossible for an agreement to make Luke Ulysses so nervous.

Xiao Yunhai saw his slight movement of turning his head, and immediately moved his eyes away from his face.

Luke Ulysses looked up at Xiao Yunhai, and calmly persuaded him: "Boss, [-] million US dollars is already a lot, enough to cover our company's employees' salaries for four or five years. The environment there is very bad, The exploration team can't take it anymore. If this continues, it will be futile."

Xiao Yunhai thought about it for a while, nodded and said: "What you said also makes sense. How about this, let me think about it carefully. After all, I haven't taken over for too long, and such an important decision cannot be taken lightly. Wait until I figure it out Let’s talk about everything about the company.”

Luke Ulysses said: "But I'm worried that half a year is coming, if we miss it, we will lose another [-] million US dollars."

Xiao Yunhai thought for a while, and said, "In three days' time, we will have a meeting to study it. Damn, this American Geological Bureau is too unreliable."

Luke Ulysses said with a smile: "If they can be accurate every time, then the country would have done it long ago, and what about our oil companies."

Xiao Yunhai nodded, and said: "That's right. That's fine, if you have nothing to do, you can go out first. Let's get in touch in the next few days, and we'll get the equipment done quickly."

Luke Ulysses said: "Okay."

After speaking, he glanced at the agreement in the trash can, Luke Ulysses turned and walked out.

A smile appeared on Xiao Yunhai's face. If oil fields were really discovered in Dezhou, then Peck would be able to come back to life soon.Judging by the appearance of this Luke Ulysses, this possibility is almost [-]%.

Just then, there was another knock on the office door.

"Come in." Xiao Yunhai shouted.

The door opened, and Gavin Dulles walked in.

Xiao Yunhai got up and said hello: "Dulles, I just wanted to talk to you."

Gavin Dulles was also very happy to see Xiao Yunhai treating him so courteously, and said, "Boss, I'm here to report to you about the situation of our refinery."

Xiao Yunhai said: "Please sit down quickly, don't worry, let's talk slowly."

After Gavin Dulles sat down, Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "I just thought about what you said about the upgrading of refinery equipment. Since we have no crude oil supply in that area, why not wait until there are new oil fields? , build a new refinery directly next to it. At least it saves the super high cost of building pipelines and transporting crude oil.”

Gavin Dulles nodded and said, "Boss, I completely agree with your opinion. However, these two factories are a bit too old, and including the pipeline, I am afraid they are worth at most 80 billion US dollars."

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said: "80 billion is 80 billion. We have a new factory and new equipment, and we can save on transportation alone. Dulles, I have great confidence in the company. As long as we can transition through the present success is inevitable. By the way, I want to tell you one thing. After a while, our company needs to organize an exploration team to go to China. The government has approved our private exploration of oil and gas. Once oil fields are discovered, then It is owned by us. However, after the finished product is made, it can only be supplied to China, just like the United States."

Gavin Dulles said: "This is a good thing. But, the boss... Forget it, let's not talk about it, gossip about people behind their backs, I really can't do this kind of thing."

Xiao Yunhai said: "When I first came to the company, there are many things I don't understand. Tell me, let's talk about it, let me listen to it, no third person will know."

Gavin Dulles nodded, and said, "I heard that Mr. Stephens seems to be in close contact with Mr. Basie's TMC Energy Company recently."

Xiao Yunhai snorted, and said, "Let him go. Anyway, I have let him go home. From now on, he only has the right to pay dividends, but not management rights. The same is true for TMC Energy."

Gavin Dulles said: "That's good. Boss, let me tell you about the situation of other refineries. They are also not optimistic..."

Half an hour later, Gavin Dulles left.

Xiao Yunhai secretly said: "This Gavin Dulles is quite talented. If he were to be the CEO of the company, he would be a good candidate."

Thinking of this, Xiao Yunhai called the HR department and asked the HR department to send a copy of Gavin Dulles' work resume.

After reading it, Xiao Yunhai said with satisfaction: "This guy is really versatile. He has worked in several oil companies as the director of the exploration department, the director of the sales department, and the director of the refinery. He is simply the best candidate for the CEO. Observe again If there is no problem, it will be him."

Chapter 1462 First Meeting

In a hotel opposite Peck Oil & Gas Company, Stephens, who was kicked out by Xiao Yunhai, put down his earphones and said angrily, "This Gavin Dulles is so unreasonable to speak ill of me. Hmph, if I'm still on the board of directors, You must regret it. Unfortunately, Ulysses failed. Otherwise, I would have become a billionaire."

The effect of his wireless listening device is mediocre, and the distance should not be too far, otherwise he would not be able to hear anything.

Originally, staying in his office worked best, but unfortunately Xiao Yunhai told him to pack up and leave. He had no choice but to book a room on the top floor of the opposite hotel and eavesdrop on Xiao Yunhai.

Stephens took out his mobile phone and dialed Terrence Bessie's number.

"Mr. Bessie, Ulysses has failed. However, Kung Fu Xiao has no doubts. He will hold a meeting to discuss this matter after three days when he has clarified the situation."

Terrence Bessie said: "This Mr. Xiao is not an ordinary person. It is not easy to fool him. In order to make him trust us completely, it seems that I must meet with him."

Stephens said: "Is Mr. Bessie going to sell the shares to him?"

Terrence Bessie hummed, and said: "I'm not interested in Peck at all, and now he has offered such a high price, if I don't sell it, it would be too suspicious. You don't have to worry about this matter Now, I will call him personally and ask him to come out and talk about things."

After hanging up the phone, Stephens said to himself: "It seems that I can't keep the shares in my hand."

At seven o'clock in the evening, Xiao Yunhai came to an Italian restaurant, and immediately saw Terence and Bessie who invited him over.There was no way, he and two bodyguards were the only ones sitting there in the entire restaurant, and it was impossible not to see them.
