Chapter 333: Two Valves to Control the Persian Gulf

His Royal Highness, whom he misses so much, did not make him wait for too long.

On the third day after returning to Chicago, he received overseas calls from monks from Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah.

The right to explore oil exploration in the six emirates fell into the hands of a newly established company called the Gulf Oil Company.

General Representative Jeffrey Cheney conveyed His Royal Highness's resolution that the Blue and White Chamber of Commerce will get 15% of Gulf Oil Company's shares.

"It seems that His Royal Highness is more generous than me." Li Zitao said sarcastically.

"Boss, we have also obtained oil exploration rights in Qatar, Oman and Ras Al Khaimah." The monk continued to report.

"Wait." Li Zitao put the phone on the table, took out a map of the Persian Gulf and spread it out, his expression became playful.

Qatar, Ras Al Khaimah, and the two 'valves' that control the Persian Gulf are all in his hands.

"Do I look like an honest person?" Li Zitao really couldn't figure it out.

But it doesn't matter if you understand it or not. The next thing he has to do is to send people to these three countries for oil survey as soon as possible.

The plan couldn't keep up with the changes, and S.H.I.E.L.D.'s pace was getting bigger and bigger, and I don't know if it will be messed up.

How far is the drilling operation in Alaska going?

...

...

Alaska, East Prudhoe Bay.

The ongoing drilling operation is coming to an end.

After hundreds of revisions to the plan, they finally opened the mysterious door through the 'treasure house' to welcome the arrival of wealth.

"All irrelevant people evacuate and pay attention to safety." Yas Schlumberger once again emphasized the importance of safety when he found that the drilling rig was running down the oil guide pipe.

Buzz——

The buzzing of the machine sounded from time to time, and there was a brief pause, and everyone's heart was affected by every move on the drilling platform alternately.

Hum, buzz, buzz—

When he found movement in the oil pipe on the ground, Yas moved forward uncontrollably.

Gulugu, wow——

"It's oily, we succeeded, oh--" the voice shook the sky.

Li Zitao was discussing this year's club annual meeting with Ben when he got the news that East Prudhoe Bay was producing oil.

After the last annual meeting, the connection between members has become closer, and occasional receptions often occur in various parts of North America.

But the annual meeting is still the most anticipated, especially after Li Zitao's career territory is getting bigger and bigger, and his influence is increasing day by day.

"Understood." Hanging up the phone very flatly, Li Zitao looked at Ben and said, "Continuing the topic just now, I need to think about the small gifts for members."

Li Zitao was a little excited when he got angry, but he was not as excited as he imagined.

Making money seems to be gradually becoming a hobby.

With his current achievements and net worth, it is not an exaggeration to say that 'money is a number'.

But compared to Papa Ma's "Forty Thieves of Regret", it's still not enough!

"Boss, what do you think of chocolate?" Ben asked.

"Chocolate?" Li Zitao said.

"That's right, custom-made chocolates with the No. 22 bronze logo printed on it. I know there is a town called Hirsch near Habsburg,

The factory there makes the best chocolate in North America, interesting isn't it? "

Chocolate, it's not impossible to think about it.

In the context of the Great Depression, it is a good idea to send chocolates that represent sweetness, warmth, and caring.

Moreover, most Europeans and Americans like chocolate.

The gift of the annual meeting does not need to be tall, but heart and new ideas.

For members who are worth at least tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars, the value of the gift is not important.

The important thing is whether the master's gift is really prepared with heart.

As for a few politicians and others, if they are given a Gulfstream, will anyone dare to accept it?

Unless it is in the name of donating to government departments, they will wait for the public to see their voices boil and their approval ratings to drop off a cliff, so pack up and get out!

"Just use chocolate,

Is there enough time? "It is already the beginning of the month, and there are 18 days until the second annual meeting day.

"It's too late, as long as you pay enough checks." Ben joked.

After finalizing the specific details of the annual meeting, after Ben left, Li Zitao considered what the oil production in East Prudhoe Bay would bring him.

A lot of money is for sure, and besides that, whether to actually get involved in the oil industry.

He was still a little uncertain about Rockefeller's attitude.

And if you want to really get involved in the oil industry, from refining, transportation, refining, to entering the market, you need to start from scratch.

"Maybe I can take this opportunity to insert my hand into Chase Bank in Manhattan?" As a fund dispatcher for Rockefeller and the North American oil market, Li Zitao can be very jealous of it.

"Yas, what is the production and reserves of the East Prudhoe Bay Oilfield?" Li Zitao decided to try it out.

If he can directly annex Manhattan Chase Bank, he will stand directly at the top of the market from an oil layman and become one of the decision makers of the rules.

Li Zitao felt at ease when he learned from Yass that the current survey result of the production and reserves of the East Prudhoe Bay Oilfield is 1.5 billion tons.

"Release the news first and see the market's reaction. The annual meeting is a good opportunity. Let's wait for them to speak first."

Li Zitao was going to sit on the Diaoyutai, waiting for Rockefeller and his oil sisters to speak first.

Qatar and Oman, Texas and California in North America, these places have not yet started surveying, and Li Zitao also has high expectations for them.

If the other party doesn't intend to feed him this time, then build a crude oil storage site and store the crude oil first.

As a big landowner in North America, are you afraid that there is no place to store 'black gold'?

"If that's the case, don't blame me for making a lot of money in the war!" Li Zitao secretly laughed in his heart.

What was fought in World War II is the result of the industrial revolution and an extension of modern warfare that took place with the support of modern industry.

Regardless of whether it is an airplane, a cannon, a car, or a warship, without oil, everything is scrap iron.

One of the most important reasons why the little man insisted on attacking the Soviet Union was to seize the Baku oil fields of the Soviet Union.

Why did the little RB bomb Pearl Harbor and declare war on the United States knowing that the United States is not easy to mess with?

It is not because the United States has cut off trade with R, including the most important supply of oil.

If you don’t fight, the last thing that greets the little RB is that the warships are shut down, the planes are put into storage, the cars are turned into scrap iron, and the cannons can only be transported by manpower.

If it weren't for making war fortune too easy to be criticized, it would easily arouse people's resistance and disgust.

Li Zitao didn't even need to think about it. He had to store all the oil and make a good profit when the war broke out.

As for buyers, the entire Confederate States would be his customers.
