We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

#212 - Two hundred million dollars is gone!

At the same time, on the sea of Prudhoe Bay in the North Slope of Las Vegas, a survey team consisting of seven major American energy giants, including ExxonMobil, Schlumberger, Amoco, Atlantic Richfield, Mobil Oil, Texaco, and Gulf Oil, was aboard a marine survey vessel, anchored on a calm sea surface.

Here, it was not far from the coast, not far from the shore of Prudhoe Bay, and from the ship, one could see the low-lying vegetation nearby and the snow-capped mountains in the distance.

At this time, on the main ship of the survey team, more than a dozen representatives from various oil companies participating in the survey were anxiously awaiting the results of more than a dozen drilling rigs.

More than a month ago, they discovered that the seabed not far from the shore contained a large amount of oil, but the reserves had not yet been surveyed.

After many days of preparation, they finally began a rigorous survey and estimation of the nearby waters.

As long as the drilling phase was completed or basically completed, the reserves here could be calculated.

After a wide range of surveys, the edge of this offshore oilfield had now been surveyed.

Once today's survey results were released, determining the thickness and area of the oil layer, the reserves of this oilfield could be roughly calculated.

"Gentlemen, the drilling tasks have all been completed, and the data has been plotted," the chief person in charge of this survey strode into the ship's office and reported excitedly.

After more than a month of surveying, the results could finally be known, which made him very happy.

"Immediately transmit the data to the United States via telegraph, and let professionals calculate its true reserves," a representative from ExxonMobil said directly.

"I have already notified people to send a telegram, and they should have received the data by now," the chief person in charge said with a smile.

"Let me see, I have studied this field and can also estimate the approximate reserves," a representative from Amoco said with a smile.

The chief person in charge handed him the data sheet.

The Amoco representative walked to a calculator without saying a word and began to calculate.

In this era, calculators were still relatively rare, but for a well-equipped survey ship, this was a necessity.

"I estimate that this oilfield may reach a reserve of more than 3 billion tons. The specific data will have to wait for the professionals over there to calculate, but my error will not exceed 20%," the Amoco representative raised his head and said with a smile.

Immediately, the people on the ship cheered. After completing this wave, their bonuses would be considerable.

An oilfield of 3 billion tons was definitely one of the world's leading oilfields for them. Even if their seven oil companies jointly developed it, they could earn a lot of money.

This month of hard work was worth it.

In the evening, the professional estimated value was also transmitted to the presidents of each company. The calculated result was the same as the result calculated by Amoco, with total reserves between 3 billion and 3.1 billion tons.

The seven oil companies immediately held a meeting overnight and finally decided to officially issue a joint statement to the public at 3:00 p.m. the next day.

As a listed company, they had an obligation to disclose all operations of the company to the public.

The discovery of an oilfield of 3 billion tons could be said to have greatly excited the heads of these seven oil companies.

In this era, energy companies could be said to be the most profitable companies.

According to the latest ranking of listed companies by market value, 10 of the top 20 listed companies by market value in the United States belonged to energy companies. It could be said that energy companies almost dominated the list.

In addition to American Telephone and Telegraph Company in first place and IBM in second place, the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, tenth, eleventh, twelfth, fourteenth, sixteenth, and seventeenth places were all energy companies!

Su Cheng also walked in from the hall outside at this time.

"How is it? What are the results? Uncle Zhang, please report," Su Cheng asked Zhang Qizheng with a smile.

"Two hundred million US dollars have been spent," Zhang Qizheng said with a smile, and a simple sentence directly summarized today's work situation.

What he meant was that the tasks of the seven companies had been completed.

"Very good. Since the tasks have been completed, then tomorrow, I will give everyone a whole day off. Everyone has worked hard today. Take a good rest for me. There are even busier things for you to do the day after tomorrow!" Su Cheng said to everyone with satisfaction.

According to Xiao Ai's news, the seven oil companies would jointly issue an announcement at 3:00 p.m. At that time, the stocks of the seven companies would have a big rise.

However, this had nothing to do with Su Cheng, because he did not plan to throw it away so early.

The real battle time was on the 28th and 29th. At that time, it would be Su Cheng's time to harvest leeks.

"Thank you, boss!" Everyone cheered.

Everyone was focused today and was exhausted, so they really needed to rest.

"Tonight, I will take you to a big meal!" Su Cheng continued.

The latest novel is first published on 69shu.com!

"Long live the boss!" Everyone cheered again.

Zhang Qizheng had rented the box for a month, so during this month, the right to use it belonged to them.

Walking out of the box, Zhang Qizheng locked the door of the box before everyone walked out of the exchange together.

Wall Street at four o'clock was still extremely lively.

Here, countless financial companies and countless top financial talents gathered.

Compared with Wall Street, although it was also one of the world's three major financial centers, Central in Hong Kong was still a bit inferior.

Lingnan Restaurant, a relatively famous Chinese restaurant on Wall Street, Su Cheng took a group of people and directly booked three boxes.

Su Cheng, 10 bodyguards, plus Zhang Qizheng and 15 other operators, a total of 26 people.

"Eat whatever you want!" Su Cheng said to everyone with a smile before entering the box.

Pepper and salt crab, this dish praised by many media, was also one of Su Cheng's must-order dishes.

It was not the first time for Su Cheng and the others to come here, so they were quite familiar with it.

"Tomorrow is a holiday, where are you going?" Su Cheng asked Zhang Qizheng, who was sitting next to him, with a smile.

"I'll go to my old friend's place for a while. I worked here for a long time before I returned to Hong Kong. It's not easy to come to New York once, so I must get together," Zhang Qizheng replied with a smile.

Zhang Qizheng, who was nearly fifty years old, had more than 20 years of experience in Wall Street. He became Su Cheng's subordinate five years ago, so he was naturally very familiar with everything here.

"Isn't there an old flame? You have to be careful, don't let your wife know," Su Cheng joked.

"I'm so old, where can I do these things?" Zhang Qizheng said helplessly. This boss always likes to joke.
