American Legendary Life

Chapter 364 Is It Worth It?

Li Zitao is unaware of his fiancée's inexplicable sense of crisis, and at the moment he is considering a think tank's suggestion.

The huge loan of 800 million US dollars will be offset by the mining rights of two oil fields in Alaska for the next 10 years.

The currently surveyed production and reserves of the North Slope Oilfield are 1.8 billion tons, and the production and reserves of the Prudhoe Bay Oilfield are 2.3 billion tons.

Based on the current technology and the number of wells opened, the annual production volume of the two oil and gas fields is about 35 million to 40 million tons.

Calculated according to the maximum value, the profit of 400 million tons in 10 years is about 2 billion US dollars.

Of course, this is calculated according to the current crude oil price, and the actual amount must be higher than it.

If nothing else, the first signs of World War II would keep oil prices high.

It is now 1932, the Spanish Civil War during the period of 36-39, behind which the contest between the countries and the FXS dictatorship is to ignite the flames of the explosive barrels.

That is to say, there will be 5 years out of the 10 years. The price will become difficult to quantify as the tension in the international situation intensifies, and its profit may reach several times or even ten times that of the previous 5 years.

Whether it is worth it or not is a difficult question to measure.

The 2 billion 10 years later and the current 800 million, the time and the opportunity to win, in this way, he should be dreaming of it.

But he still needs to pay an interest and the loss caused by the inevitable soaring of oil in the future. Counting the time required to conclude the transaction, the use time of this fund is 5 months.

5 months, 40 million, he needs to pay 200 million dollars in interest.

Exchange at least 2.2 billion U.S. dollars for 800 million U.S. dollars, of which 200 million is still to be paid now, so it seems that it is not so profitable.

There is another reason for his hesitation, whether this incident will further expand the influence of Rockefeller and the oil sisters within the Li Group.

There are no unchanging feelings, only eternal interests.

But the ancestors said that you must not have the heart to harm others, and you must not have the heart to guard against others.

No one can be sure how long his good personal relationship with the Rockefeller family can last.

Lawrence is Lawrence, and the Rockefeller family is a family, not to mention that he is not the next successor to the patriarch selected by the family.

Even John Rockefeller Jr., who has a great say in the Rockefeller consortium, needs to always carefully balance the interests of all parties.

The cornerstone of the consortium's unity is interests, and it will always be interests.

It was Lawrence's brother, David D. Rockefeller, who was preparing for his succession, who put forward this opinion at the shareholder meeting.

This had to make Li Zitao have some other thoughts, whether this young successor of the family was playing some tricks.

Other shareholders agreed with this, because they knew very well that Li Zitao would not let them go crazy.

With the speed of making money like a money printing machine of the Blue and White Chamber of Commerce, he will pay off the loan very quickly. Instead of obtaining short-term benefits, it is better to cut a piece of fat from him first, and then exchange for stable long-term benefits in the future.

"Honey, you've been here long enough." Adelaide came over and stopped Li Zitao, who was walking back and forth.

"Sorry, there are some things that need to be dealt with." Li Zitao relaxed his brows and smiled.

"The bonfire party is coming to an end, we should see off the guests, and then you can go back to your room to concentrate on thinking, and I will make coffee for you myself."

Hearing what his fiancée said, Li Zitao realized that the night was getting dark, and the 10 high-beam searchlights on the roof of the villa made the beach look like daytime.

"Is Xiangzi leaving? It's already so late, let her rest in the guest room for the night." Thinking that it was getting late, Li Zitao said casually.

"Then you should invite her yourself." Adelaide kept smiling and looked forward, without any change in appearance.

"Forget it, the presence of outsiders will spoil the atmosphere." Li Zitao suddenly changed the subject, and used "outsiders" to point out his views on Xiangzi's identity.

"Well, I think so too." The corners of his mouth curled up, and the happiness at the moment was extremely obvious.

‘Phew, fortunately the reaction is quick enough,

Inviting a strange woman to stay overnight in front of his fiancée is not asking for trouble, it is committing suicide! ’ Li Zitao made up his mind to wipe away his sweat.

Because Li Zitao had something on his mind, he seemed a little absent-minded, and he didn't say anything other than ordering the bodyguards to send her back to the store safely when he was saying goodbye.

"Okay, it's time for us to go back." Satisfied, she held her fiancé's arm, and Her Royal Highness, who defended her sovereignty, offered to send a sweet kiss.

Li Zitao was a little baffled, but still enjoyed his fiancée's initiative, "Could it be because of too much sex, it seems that we will continue to work hard in the future."

The little guys who saw this scene turned their heads and stuck out their tongues, but they didn't dare to complain casually, the lesson from last time was still vivid in their memory.

The stuffy, stern homeschool day is the worst experience for them.

"Charlie, look at this, it's my masterpiece." While taking the elevator, Eric said while holding the 'shell artwork' in his hand.

"It looks good." The female shape made of shells is very novel, Li Zitao looked at it and asked; "What's it called?"

"Ms. Shell." Eric said triumphantly.

"What a terrible name, you should use Daughter of the Sea or Princess Shell." Norma complained with disgust on her face.

"I like Ms. Shell." Eric said indifferently.

"Don't forget that she also has our share of credit. We should vote with a show of hands." Norma still couldn't bear the name "Ms. Shell".

"Then vote." Li Zitao nodded in agreement.

"Did you hear that?" Norma, who was supported, became proud now.

"Charlie doesn't have a vote, he's not helping." Eric took aim at him directly, with a sad look on his face that said, 'Dude, you betrayed our friendship. '

Li Zitao pointed at himself dumbfounded, "Am I eliminated?"

In the end, Adelaide and the three little guys voted, Princess Shell received 3 votes, and Eric's "lady" can only become a thing of the past.

"Anyway, I'll call her Ms., don't make me admit defeat." Eric said angrily, and put his 'Ms. Shell' on the living room table.

After playing and joking for a while, the maid took them to the room to rest. The room became quiet, and Li Zitao leaned on the sofa and closed his eyes to think.

"Your coffee." Adelaide ground it herself, and the brewed coffee was at hand, exuding a rich aroma.

"Thank you." Taking a sip of coffee, Li Zitao made up his mind.

It sounds stupid to trade the future for the present, but who can be sure that he won't get a bigger future!

This deal is done.

To be honest, the pressure brought by the $800 million loan is not easy at all.

Especially when the situation is getting worse, Li Zitao's original plan is to wait for the youth energy needle to create a large amount of cash flow for him.

But it will take a long time. How could those rich and life-threatening people agree to inject a new product into their bodies without observing it for a year or two.

The benefits created by Golden Arches are only enough to repay the interest. Li Zitao thinks that others have overestimated his earning speed.

This kind of blind trust even exceeds his own, and sometimes he can't help asking himself, is it because the fish has been salted for so long that it can't swell when it is filled with water.
