Reborn Capital Empire

Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty Five San Antonio

…

When he left Cheng Tinghua's new villa, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.

"boss!"

After nodding, he took off his jacket and handed it to Wu Xiaojing. Guo Shouyun, who was just about to go to the study on the second floor, heard the sound of playing basketball behind him.

"Dongpo is back?"

"As soon as I came back, I went to the back court with the basketball. It's been almost two hours now." Wu Xiaojing nodded and said.

"I gonna go see."

After speaking, Guo Shouyun came outside through the corridor leading to the backyard. Sure enough, under the bright lights, a tall figure was sweating profusely on the basketball court attached to the manor.

Guo Shouyun stood in the distance and watched for a while, then walked over.

Hearing the sound of footsteps from far to near behind him, Qian Dongpo did not stop immediately, but used the crab step commonly used in basketball defense, from left to right, then grabbed the basketball from the bottom of the basket and walked to the free throw line. position, and shoot the basketball with a standard shooting posture. It's a pity that because I didn't master the strength well, the sound of 'bang' hit the iron.

Qian Dongpo's face couldn't help showing a trace of annoyance when he missed a goal.

"Mr. Guo!"

Guo Shouyun smiled and nodded, then walked over.

"Wipe off your sweat!"

"thanks!"

After speaking, Qian Dongpo took the towel and wiped it on his face indiscriminately. After pulling him to the bench next to him and sitting down, "How is it, are you tired from training recently?"

"Not tired, I like to play basketball!" Qian Dongpo said with a naive smile after scratching his head.

Although he is stupid, that doesn't mean he is stupid. Qian Dongpo knew what was good for him. And for people like him, there are not many choices in life, even fewer than ordinary people. Therefore, for a "stupid person" who knows his own weaknesses and is willing to work hard to seize his strengths and keep working hard for them, he is more likely to succeed than most ordinary people.

Just like the saying that everyone knows, 'As long as the effort is deep and the iron pestle is ground into a needle'. Anyone can become an expert in the field as long as they work hard for ten years.

What's more, Qian Dongpo himself has a physical advantage far beyond ordinary people. Basketball center is the occupation that needs the most physical advantage.

"Have you contacted Xiaoling recently?" Guo Shouyun nodded and said.

"I just called yesterday and she asked me to train well here."

"That's good! Also, don't train too late in the future. You are still growing your body, and overtraining is not good for your growth."

"But I'm very stupid. I can't master the basketball knowledge taught by the coach if I don't practice much." Qian Dongpo said with shame.

"Haha, you've only practiced basketball for a few days? Besides, the moves that Coach Brown has given you are the basic moves for basketball training. Even if you know it, you'll need to practice every day in the future. Besides, you're only 13 years old now. There is still time for training.”

After patting Qian Dongpo on the shoulder, Guo Shouyun pulled him up.

"Come on, go back and take a shower. Go to bed early!"

"Um!"

Qian Dongpo nodded obediently. With a reckless personality, apart from his sister, the man he respects the most is the man in front of him. He could feel that the other party was really good for him.

"By the way, sir. Coach Brown asked me to tell you that the team is flying to San Antonio to play the Spurs in three days."

"Understood, go and rest!"

Guo Shouyun nodded. Although he's been busy with the company these days, he doesn't pay much attention to the Clippers game. But events like the Western Conference semifinals are mentioned in the major newspapers. Guo Shouyun, who has the habit of reading newspapers, also knows the Clippers' schedule.

After more than a week of fierce battles, the Spurs and Clippers still fought the most crucial "tiebreaker". The venue for the final game was the at&t Center, home of the San Antonio Spurs!

"The time is right and the place is right. The game has not yet started, and the people are gone."

Shaking his head, no matter whether he wins or loses this game, it is just a harmless life adjustment for him. Winning is better, number = losing is nothing.

"Xiaojing, save time on the 17th, I'm going to Antonio."

Since he promised them to be there to cheer the team on, Guo Shouyun didn't plan to break his promise. And this time he came to Los Angeles to do almost the same things, and it was time to leave.

…

San Antonio is the second largest city in Texas after Houston and the seventh largest city in the United States. Financial services, government, healthcare and tourism are the pillars of its economy. Among the top 500 companies in the United States are Valena Energy, Tesoro Petroleum, United Services Automobile Association, Clearwater Communications and Newstar Energy. located here. In addition, it is also one of the largest military towns of the US military, and one of the twelve joint air force bases of the United States is located here.

Guo Shouyun, who came to the city for the first time on his own private jet Kunpeng, temporarily stayed in the business suite of the Hilton Hotel.

He had just checked into the hotel when an unexpected visitor appeared in front of him.

"How did you come?"

"When I originally planned to fly back to Houston, I happened to meet the boss's private plane landing at San Antonio Airport, so I followed him all the way." Rebecca Mark smiled.

"I see!...Sit down and talk!"

After greeting her to sit down, "How is the company?"

"It's still in the integration stage, but things are going smoothly. I believe that at most half a year, the run-in period will be able to pass."

Guo Shouyun nodded, "I trust your ability. However, you are not in the Houston headquarters, why did you come to San Antonio?"

"Originally, Unocal had a supply agreement with Valole Energy. Now that we are acquiring Unocal, the agreement needs to be re-signed."

Valole Energy is an oil company ahead of Unocal. But its strength is more in petrochemical and distribution retail, and it does not have its own oil reserves. The crude oil required by the enterprise is purchased from crude oil companies such as Unocal, Continental Oil, and Chesapeake Energy.

Guo Shouyun nodded knowingly, "Just in time you are here, so I don't need to make another trip to Houston."

When the words fell, he picked up his computer and opened it, found a document and pushed it to Rebecca Mark.

Look at the huge tracts of southern New Mexico and western Texas circled in red on the computer screen.

"This is…?"

"Try to buy oil blocks within this range in the future!"

"why?"

"You'll find out why later!"

Looking at the map on the computer, a flash of memory flashed in Guo Shouyun's eyes.

In 2018, the most sensational news in the international energy market was the discovery of a super oil field in the United States. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the Wolfcamp Shale and Bone Spring formations in the Midland Basin of Texas and the Delaware Basin of New Mexico contain about 46.3 billion barrels of oil, 281 trillion cubic feet of natural gas and 20 billion barrels of LNG.

The two basins constitute the largest oil field in the United States, and at the current rate of oil production, the United States will be able to exploit it for 49 years. This discovery directly turned the United States from a net oil importer into an oil exporter. It can be seen that its reserves are huge.

But also because its reserves are too huge, even if Guo Shouyun has previous knowledge, it is impossible for him to swallow it completely. Besides, he only vaguely remembered an approximate location. This approximate location is equivalent to one-sixth of Texas, or 120,000 square kilometers. No amount of money could have bought so much land.

So the best option is for Rebecca Mark to buy land from the center point. In this way, there is the greatest possibility to buy oil fields. Moreover, it is either the Gobi or the desert, and the land price is cheap. It won't take up too much money.

"Do you want to buy it and explore immediately?"

"No! Let's talk about it when we get Brazil!" Guo Shouyun shook his head.

In fact, he's not going to do a large-scale development here until his power rises to the next level. Otherwise, even if he gets a big oil field, the biggest benefit will not fall into his mouth.

Exxon Mobil, Chevron Texaco, BP, Shell, these oil giants, he can resist one or two, but together, he will definitely not be able to resist. The best way is to develop the oil fields here while supporting Ao Guanhai on the presidency. At that time, after seizing the unprecedented opportunity of the 'subprime mortgage crisis', his power and status will undergo qualitative changes. At that time, I didn't say I was fearless, but I could really be on an equal footing with the world's top giants such as Morgan, Rockefeller, and Roosevelt.

After Rebecca agreed, Guo Shouyun continued: "This time, when I go back, I can prepare for the negotiation before the company goes public."

"Will it be too soon?"

"No. It takes at least half a year to prepare for the listing. If it is longer, nine months is normal. Moreover, we still have a round of PE talks, and one year can only be said to be suitable, which is far from sufficient. "

"I understand! Do you personally preside over the financing negotiation of the pe round?"

After briefly thinking about it, Guo Shouyun nodded.

"There are some people I need to meet in person. When the time comes, you will also attend."

"Yes!"

Guo Shouyun looked at the time, "Since you're here, why don't you go to the ball game tonight? The Clippers and Spurs tiebreaker."

"You'd better go by yourself~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I'm not really interested in basketball. Besides, the integration of Unocal and Anping's oil business has just started, and there are a lot of things in Houston waiting for me to deal with."

Guo Shouyun shrugged, "That's fine. I'll let the Kunpeng take you back. It's a benefit from my boss."

"Thank you boss!"

"Come on, I'll take you out!"

Guo Shouyun waved his hand and got up and sent Rebecca Mark out of the hotel.
