Hello 1983

If it were someone else, they might have agreed, but Liu Qingshan shook his head with a smile:

"Sorry, I prefer to cooperate with friends."

His gaze flitted across the faces of Prince Hamed, Fahd and others like a spring breeze.

Obviously, the friends Liu Qingshan mentioned were them.

Chapter 955 Asking the price first

The Big Apple City in the United States is performing scenes of tragedies and comedies every day.

But for Looney Rockefeller, of course, life was one of the finest pleasures.

Because I played a little late last night, of course when I woke up, it was already close to noon.

Looney habitually flipped open the newspaper when he went to the restaurant for a brunch mix.

A piece of news suddenly caught his eye, causing Looney to jump up from his chair, spilling the milk on the dining table and spilling it all over him.

Looney didn't care about this either. The arm holding the newspaper trembled uncontrollably, as if he had just been shocked by an electric shock: "This, how is this possible?"

Meanwhile, in another family of oil tycoons, Tony Getty, is still high in bed.

A burst of rapid phone ringing finally woke Tony up. He muttered a dirty word before answering the phone:

"Hey, Tony, we're in trouble."

Hearing that it was Looney's voice, Mr. Getty woke up instantly: "Oh, Looney, my friend, don't worry, any troubles can be settled with US dollars, so don't worry."

"U.S. dollars, then you should prepare [-] million U.S. dollars."

Looney's angry voice came from the phone, accompanied by a crisp sound, as if some utensil was thrown to the ground.

Tony Getty was also a little panicked: "Looney, what happened?"

"Newspaper!" Rooney roared out a word, and ended the call.

Mr. Getty Jr. quickly got up from the bed, went to the living room to find today's newspaper, and saw the headline written on it:

The lucky boy discovered a large oil field and won $[-] million.

The newspaper slipped gently from Mr. Getty's hand, just like his mood.

All the major newspapers in North America rushed to report the news that Mr. Mountain had discovered the huge oil field.

Liu Qingshan naturally also received a wave of praise and praise, and as his opponents, those oil giants were of course regarded as objects of negative ridicule.

Losing money and losing people is probably the case.

And Liu Yinfeng also reacted quickly, she knew that her younger brother was spending money now and had no time to spare.

So he took Liu Qingshan's power of attorney and led the team to visit Luni and others.

Liu Yinfeng also experienced it for the first time: it turns out that debt collection feels so good.

Poor Looney and his gang were suddenly taken as Yang Bailao.

Fortunately, these guys have big families and big businesses, so if they spend [-] million U.S. dollars, it's just a pain in the ass.

As for the breach of contract, they didn't even think about it, they couldn't afford to lose that person.

And in Rainbow City, Liu Qingshan is arranging a banquet to entertain all guests.

Such a happy event is certainly worth celebrating.

The mining and transportation of the oil field have been entrusted to Prince Hamed. He has a professional team and the profits are not high.

Liu Qingshan simply mortgaged the oil well and got another billion dollars from Prince Hamed.

In addition to Liu Yinfeng's rent of 45 million yuan, his total investment this time has reached an astonishing [-] billion yuan.

At the banquet, the people from the European and American oil companies looked resentful. They rushed over and got nothing but being slapped in the face by Li Sanjing and others.

There is also a group of people who are also a little restless. They are the observers sent by the various tribes.

When seeing crude oil, these guys are almost envious: it's all money.

Especially when they saw that after Liu Qingshan directly mortgaged a billion dollars, his saliva almost fell to his feet.

The group got together and began to discuss: What are we going to fight all day long, for a few camels and a few sheep, it's too embarrassing.

The next thing to do: find oil!

Stimulated by the US dollar, the tribes quickly reached a consensus, and then Li Sanjing became a favorite, scrambling for his exploration team to go to the sea areas to which the tribes belonged.

Of course Li Sanjing would not agree, because he would continue to explore in Rainbow City, trying to find a few more large oil fields.

Because of this successful exploration, Liu Qingshan waved his hand and gave him a big reward.

Ordinary team members, 1 yuan per person, as for those technicians and engineers, the amount is doubled.

However, outsiders do not know how much bonus Li Sanjing received.

Anyway, Mr. Zhao, who shares the dormitory with Li Sanjing, said that he was often woken up by Li Sanjing's laughter when he was sleeping in the past few nights.

Although Li Sanjing couldn't do it himself, he was quite interesting and recommended his colleagues in the country to the representatives of the tribe.

Now the representatives of these tribes don't trust the experts in Europe and the United States, but they trust the Chinese exploration ships.

But when they learned that drilling an oil well would cost millions or even tens of millions, they were all dumbfounded: If we have so much money, why do we need to drill oil wells?

So it fell into an endless loop: if there is no money to drill wells, if you don't drill wells, you will have no hope of finding crude oil, if you don't send crude oil for money, if you don't have money, you won't be able to drill wells.

The representatives of these tribes were so worried that they almost pulled out their beards. In the end, they could only turn to Liu Qingshan for help.

Liu Qingshan didn't have the money to help them pay for the exploration fees, it was simply a bottomless pit.

If you are lucky, one well will produce oil; if you are unlucky, if you drill a hundred wells, all of them will be abandoned.

But it is still possible to help, this is also part of Liu Qingshan's plan.

So when the banquet was about to end, Liu Qingshan got up and said: "Everyone, everyone is engaged in the oil industry and knows the principle of the coexistence of opportunities and risks, so I won't repeat myself."

"I'll just say one thing below. Facts have proved that the sea area on Lilan's side contains oil and gas resources."

"The government, however, is unable to exploit, so I have a suggestion, that is, the government sells the coastal oil exploration rights. I believe everyone will be interested in such a cooperation method."

After Liu Qingshan finished speaking, the banquet hall became silent, and everyone was thinking about the feasibility of this proposal.

Downey, Rockefeller's representative, was the first to ask, "Mr. Mountain, how do you set the price?"

Liu Qingshan smiled slightly: "In this regard, Rainbow City does not have the final say. You large oil companies can negotiate with local tribes."

For this kind of thing, Liu Qingshan is responsible for matchmaking, so as not to cause trouble.

Anyway, Liu Qingshan has already discussed with the tribal representatives: ask for the price first.

With the big oil well in Rainbow City here, I don't believe that no one is tempted.

And the biggest feature of this country is that it has a super long coastline, so this must be a huge income.

However, Liu Qingshan also reminded these tribes: Don't sell all the exploration rights foolishly, at least half of them must be kept in your own hands.

Liu Qingshan remembered the locations of several large oil fields in later generations, and if these tribes happened to sell them, he would also ask Xiao Wu to participate in the competition.

As a result, both parties were happy. The next day, the representatives of the oil company left with the observers sent by the tribes.

Of course, these observers do not have the right to determine the specific price, and those patriarchs have the final say.

Liu Qingshan is very happy to see this situation, after all, the country can be peaceful for a while.

This can be regarded as the greatest contribution he can make when joining this country.

After dealing with the matter of Rainbow City, Liu Qingshan continued to embark on the journey full of harvest.

The dumb grandpa and the little six sons were invited by Prince Hamed to pay a friendly visit to their country. Naturally, Liu Qingshan took a ride along with him, and his team had to make a transfer.

Hearing that Liu Qingshan was going to the Black Sea to discuss business with Maozi, Prince Hamed was really proud, and waved his hand: I'm borrowing you the cruise ship!

This luxury cruise ship is worth nearly one billion US dollars. If you say you can borrow it, you can borrow it. This is really Liu Qingshan's friend.

The main reason is that Hamed recognized Liu Qingshan's development prospects and international influence, so he deliberately made friends.

That being the case, of course Liu Qingshan is not easy to refuse.

And this time to buy an aircraft carrier, it's impossible to keep a low profile, so it's better to be high profile.

I'm rich and self-willed, what's wrong with buying an aircraft carrier for fun?

Only after setting off did Liu Qingshan realize that luxury cruise ships are not something ordinary people can afford.

There are nearly 10,000 various staff members on board alone, and many of them are high-end talents in the industry, with an annual salary starting at least [-]+ US dollars.

Fortunately, the boat was borrowed and he did not need to pay wages.

This is just labor, and the consumption of other aspects of the cruise ship is also huge.

Originally, Liu Qingshan was also thinking about getting a boat for fun in the future, but now he temporarily dismissed this idea.

Compared with those oil tycoons, he is still a poor man, at most he has just escaped poverty.

Just like Prince Hamed, whose net worth is hundreds of billions; Liu Qing made several billions by patchwork, which is not enough in the eyes of others.

The cruise ship sails westward along the Gulf of Aden. The general route is to enter the Red Sea first, pass through the Suez Canal, enter the Mediterranean Sea, then cross the Turkish Strait, enter the Black Sea, and then arrive at the naval base in the Black Sea.

Liu Qingshan also carefully studied this route. Among them, the mouth of the Black Sea is the most critical. This is the only way to pass. If someone gets stuck, it will be very uncomfortable.

Back then, the old man spent all his money, but he didn't win this outlet.

In the original development trajectory, it was here that the aircraft carrier was intercepted on the way back, demanding a billion-dollar passage fee.

If you compare it this way, the pirates in Somalia are all children's play.

On the cruise ship, apart from Liu Qingshan and Chen Dongfang, there was a group of hundreds led by Li Tie and Li Tieniu.

Half of them were veterans brought from Huaxia, and the other half were natives from Lilan.

After all, it was under the banner of Lilan's side, and it couldn't be justified without some locals.

On the first day of the voyage, I encountered local pirates, but after looking at the marks on the cruise ship, the pirate ships avoided them far away, and they couldn't afford to mess with these oil tycoons.

Liu Qingshan couldn't help laughing: It seems that I really have to thank Prince Hamed.

When their cruise ship sailed near the Berbera harbor, they saw an oil exploration ship working at sea.

This action is really fast enough. Liu Qingshan and the others first went to the Persian Gulf for a tour, sent Hamed and the others home, and then turned back. There was a delay of more than ten days in the middle. Already started.

Now that he has caught up, Liu Qingshan also decided to take a look. After all, this matter was led by him, so he just happened to follow up.

So the two speedboats were put down from the cruise ship, and Liu Qingshan took Li Tie and a few natives and drove towards the work boat.

The people on the exploration ship should have spotted the cruise ship in the distance, so immediately a few tattered boats came up to meet them.

The boat was full of locals with rifles. It is estimated that they were originally members of the pirate army, but now they have become sea guards.

"We are from Rainbow City!"

The natives on the speedboat hurriedly waved their hands and shouted that under normal circumstances, even a pirate ship would not shoot casually.

The name of Rainbow City is still very useful. When the speedboat slowed down, the small broken boats also turned around and surrounded the speedboat to return.

In the northern part of the country, which is basically under the rule of Liland, it was fighting for independence.

After Liu Qingshan boarded the survey ship, he really met an acquaintance, who was Rockefeller's representative Downey.

Downey was quite surprised to see Liu Qingshan, but he still stepped forward to hug him very friendly.

And the aborigines on Liu Qingshan's side quickly led a leader of a local tribe to meet Liu Qingshan.

The bearded leader is called Mehmed, and after learning of Liu Qingshan's identity, he was very excited:

"Mr. Mountain, welcome. It's great to have you here. With your good luck, our oil well will definitely succeed!"

So that's the case, no wonder they are so enthusiastic, in the eyes of these tribesmen, Liu Qingshan is the little golden man shining with golden light all over his body.

Mahmed also spoke English, so Liu Qingshan communicated with him, the key point of course was to ask, how much was the exploration right in this sea area sold for?

What Liu Qingshan is more worried about is: These poor and frightened tribes sell the exploration rights at a low price.

Hearing Liu Qingshan's question, Mahmed's beard trembled, obviously very excited inside, he widened his eyes and raised a finger.

Liu Qingshan blinked: "One hundred million?"

Mehmed was taken aback by the price, and then shook his head: "1000 million, a total of [-] kilometers of sea area."

Liu Qingshan nodded, it's okay, it's not too cheap, he really doesn't want these oil companies from Europe and the United States to come here to pick up cheap.
