Reborn Brazil as a Plutocrat
Chapter 226 Prudhoe Bay Project
"There is another commodity that you should also focus on, and that is coal. Coal mines in Germany have been restricted from mining, and there will definitely be a shortage of coal in Europe.
We will now start signing equipment purchase agreements with coal mining companies.
Don’t worry about not being able to digest this kind of resources and materials. They can be shipped to Brazil and used by our Fangyuan Group’s steel plant.
If there is an opportunity, I hope that our Global Group can have the opportunity to enter the coal industry.
After all, the coal reserves of the United States and Canada rank among the top in the world.
However, these two markets are relatively mature, so maybe it’s a little late for us to enter now.
Let’s do this! We can think of ways to use coal in Colombia, South America.
After all, the distance to our Brazil will be shorter in the future."
Of course, Wan Chongxin carried out Fang Lang's order without hesitation and immediately said:
"I understand, boss. I will start preparations as soon as I get back."
Fang Lang came to Wan Chongxin, patted Wan Chongxin on the shoulder and said:
"Don't be anxious, let's sit down and talk.
There is also a very huge opportunity in this matter, which is the reconstruction of Europe."
Hearing Fang Lang mention the reconstruction of Europe, Wan Chongxin didn't react for a while. After all, Europe is currently undergoing reconstruction.
Seeing that Wan Chongxin was silent, Fang Lang smiled and said:
"What? I don't believe it!
Let’s put it this way! Once this step is reached, Europe will become the forefront of the confrontation between the two major groups.
Do you think the United States can still allow Europe to continue to be in chaos like it is now?"
"Boss, you mean that the United States will support the reconstruction of Europe."
After hearing Fang Lang's analysis, Wan Chongxin immediately grasped the key point. If the United States wants to participate in the reconstruction of Europe, it must either provide loans or provide support.
But even the support will definitely not be compulsory or free, this is a big business!
The more Wan Chongxin thought about it, the more frightened he felt. If it were to be as he suspected, as long as global trade could catch this ride in advance, the development prospects for the world would become limitless!
"What if?
Since the United States wants Europe to serve as a pawn, how can it not give it enough benefits?
This means that if you want the horses to run, you must have less fodder!"
At this moment, Wan Chongxin doesn’t understand the twists and turns involved!
His whole body was shaking with excitement, and it took him a long time to suddenly say:
"So, boss, when you signed the licensing agreement with those shipyards, you wanted the ships produced by them. Is this the reason?
You have anticipated this day for a long time, right?
Boss, are you a prophet?"
Fang Lang was also shocked when he heard what Wan Chongxin said. Is this a personality cult?
However, Fang Lang couldn't admit this kind of thing, so he just smiled and denied it:
"These things can be analyzed in advance. As for how to analyze them specifically, you can think about it yourself.
When you can understand the reasons and analyze some things yourself, you can become a truly successful businessman."
This incident had a huge impact on Wan Chongxin.
Originally, he felt that the gap between himself and his boss was not very big. However, today he suddenly realized that he had only reached the second floor and his boss was already in the atmosphere.
It is simply an existence that can only be looked up to.
Originally, Wan Chongxin wanted to continue to learn more from his boss, but unfortunately, the secretary outside knocked on the door and informed Fang Lang that a gentleman named Rayer came to visit with the two of them.
Wan Chongxin could only stand up and say goodbye to Fang Lang. Fang Lang smiled and patted the other party on the shoulder, and after a few words of encouragement, hoping that he would learn more, he did not stay.
I thought that only one person from Rayer came over, but unexpectedly, three people came over.
Fortunately, Fang Lang had seen the information of these three people in Richfield Company's information.
A few people exchanged greetings, and Fang Lang guided them to the reception area to sit down. After asking the secretary to bring a few cups of tea, he went straight to the topic:
"I heard my assistant tell me that Mr. Leyer has been waiting for me in New York for a long time, right?"
Mr. Reyer and two other Richfield Company managers met Fang Lang for the first time and seemed a little embarrassed.
Hearing Fang Lang's initiative to ask, Reyer quickly replied:
"Yes, I'm sorry to bother you Mr. Fang.
The main reason is that Richfield Company has been fully acquired by Universal Group, but we have not waited for the new boss to come over and rearrange our work.
The employees are a little uneasy."
Fang Lang pointed to the cups of tea on the coffee table and motioned to the others to do whatever they wanted.
He glanced at a few people slowly, and finally fixed his eyes on Mr. Leyer and said:
"Then I wonder if the situation in Ridgefield Company got out of control during this time when you were in New York?"
"Mr. Fang, please rest assured, although we are not in the company.
However, the company's business is proceeding normally and has not been affected.
Only the Prudhoe Bay exploration project has been temporarily suspended due to financial constraints.
However, the company now has about 2 million in debt, which will be due next month.
I hope you, boss, can make preparations early."
Of course, two million is nothing to Fang Lang. He is more concerned about the oil exploration work in Prudhoe Bay.
In his impression, the reason why the oil in Prudhoe Bay was not explored in the early stage was that the drilling depth was not enough, and some drilling holes were even less than ten meters away from the actual oil layer.
"Two million in debt is a small problem.
Mr. Leyer, I heard that Mr. Morgan spoke very highly of you.
Considering that you have worked in this company for so many years, I have no intention of changing the company's management for the time being.
However, the group company will definitely send new financial and personnel personnel to the company, and I hope you can actively cooperate.
In addition, the company's name will be changed to Global Petroleum Exploration.
What I'm concerned about right now is how much more money I need to invest if I continue to explore for oil in Prudhoe Bay."
Reyer obviously did not expect that Fang Lang would continue the oil well exploration work in Prudhoe Bay.
After all, it can be said that Ridgefield Company was brought down by this project.
Nowadays, the outside world is generally pessimizing the Prudhoe Bay project, believing that there may be no oil at all.
However, Leyer still believed that there must be oil fields in Prudhoe Bay, and previous scientific research and demonstrations all supported this view.
It's just that they still don't understand why they have been prospecting for so long and drilled thousands of wells without finding the target.
They even directly brought down their company, but failed to discover oil.
He thought that the new boss would definitely give up this project, but he didn't expect that the boss's first target was still the Prudhoe Bay oil field project.
Somewhat unbelievable:
"Boss, are you serious?
I mean, are we going to continue to explore in Prudhoe Bay?"
"Why not?
How big are our exploration licenses in Prudhoe Bay now!"
"Boss, we originally bought the exploration license for the entire central area of Prudhoe Bay from the Alaska government.
It covers an area of 100,000 acres and cost a total of US$9.3 million.
The amount of money invested is really huge. In addition, Prudhoe Bay is close to the Arctic and the land is covered with frozen soil, making mining difficult.
Because permafrost has a great impact on seismic waves, we later developed a method to correct permafrost data.
Therefore, the huge investment in this project is the real reason for the downfall of Richfield Company."
Perhaps the reason why Reyer explained this situation to Fang Lang was to remind him again of the huge risks of this project.
When Fang Lang heard this, he was secretly happy. Just purchasing the exploration license for this land cost US$9.3 million.
I only invested US$10 million to acquire this company.
Together with the company's machinery and equipment, it has oil exploration rights to another piece of land in Texas.
Coupled with the fact that the oil wells are now producing a steady stream of oil, this acquisition is really a huge profit.
Historically, this oil field was not actually dug until December 1967. That is to say, if the normal progress is followed, it will take 21 years for this oil well to be available.
Since I have the opportunity to acquire this company in advance, of course, I will not let this matter drag on forever.
"What is the maximum drilling depth of our exploration equipment now?"
"2000 meters, our current maximum exploration depth can only reach two thousand meters."
"It's not enough. I'll order a drilling rig with a depth of at least 2,500 meters as soon as I get back.
In the central area of Prudhoe Bay, we continued to drill down where we had already drilled.
Drill all the way to 2,500 meters to see if there is any harvest. Can you do it?"
The boss has already spoken, so of course Reyer won’t have any objections.
He understood what his boss meant, which was to trust their judgment that there was an oil field in Prudhoe Bay.
I think the reason why they didn't succeed is that the drilling depth was not enough.
"No problem, Mr. Fang, I will immediately order a drilling rig from Loveland Company with a depth of 2,500 meters."
Fang Lang was very satisfied with Reyer's attitude, smiled and said:
"I will have dinner with Mr. Morgan later to discuss it and then provide our Global Oil Exploration Company with a loan of US$10 million to carry out this project.
I hope you won’t disappoint me.”
When Rayer heard about it, he actually had a fund of 10 million US dollars. This amount of money would definitely be enough if exploration was continued on the basis of the original drilling.
Therefore, Reyer was very excited for a while.
He quickly stood up and said gratefully to Fang Lang:
"Mr. Fang, thank you! We will not let you down."
The two people next to Reyer also stood up and thanked each other, but one of them's eyes lit up when he heard about the 10 million US dollars in funding.
The performance looks the same as the other two, but there is a slight difference.
Fang Lang had seen this person from the information, Zuel Swann, who was responsible for the logistics and equipment management of Ridgefield Company.
This guy is responsible for all the company's equipment procurement and maintenance work.
Thinking of the other party's reaction after hearing his words, Fang Lang was sure that this guy was not a good guy, at least he was a piece of trash who took kickbacks or embezzled public funds.
It turns out that Fang Lang can’t control what happens at Ridgefield Company.
However, now that Richfield Company has been acquired by me, it is absolutely impossible for me to allow such a person to exist.
However, as the boss, of course I cannot fire employees just because I take one look at them and think there is something wrong with them.
Just when the three of them left, Fang Lang stopped Reyer and asked him to start an investigation into Mr. Zuel Swann with the personnel stationed in the group company.
Focus on investigating the other party’s financial problems.
If, after getting the definite evidence, talk directly to the other party.
Of course, the result will definitely be that this person will not be retained in the new company.
