Chapter 591 Oilfield

Not surprisingly, Ran Xinming and the others, who had never expected that Anne would be curious about fairy tales, couldn't find a commentator who was familiar with Qilu culture.

As for why Annie dared to be interested, Ran Xinming and others thought about it for a while, and they thought it was probably because of the "Havoc in Heaven" cartoon.

Thinking about it this way, Ran Xinming and the others suddenly felt that this matter should be reported.

And Anne is a real princess. Although the royal family has no real power, her influence and status are still there.

If she has a good impression of China, she alone is enough to influence many, many English people.

In addition, other foreigners who have watched cartoons will also become interested in Chinese culture.

With this thought in mind, Ran Xinming certainly didn't want to disappoint Annie. In the end, as Li Changheng expected, he could only ask people to go to the back kitchen and ask the team of chefs who were cooking today.

After all, a chef who is famous for cooking Shandong cuisine, even if he is not from Qilu, must know Qilu culture better than ordinary people.

Soon the staff confirmed that Master Cao, the master chef, is not only from Guqi, but also quite talkative.

After some exhortations, Master Cao, who was dressed in pure white chef clothes, got to know Li Changheng and the others after they got to know each other.

In addition to being a little nervous at the beginning, the conversation became smoother and smoother within a few minutes.

After chatting for about 20 minutes, Li Changheng and Master Cao talked about Qilu's Taishan Shigandang.

Then I chatted with Ran Xinming and others about various strange stones.

What natural like pumpkins, braised pork, figures, digital patterns, etc. started to chat, and casually asked Master Cao, who had been silent for ten minutes, if Qilu had any strange stones.

Master Cao racked his brains for a while, and finally said in an uncertain tone that he heard that there was a blue stone in the countryside of the county next door to his hometown.

When Li Changheng heard it, he showed a thoughtful expression, and although he only said that he would take a look if he had the chance, he didn't say much after that.

But others who had been observing secretly remembered this in their hearts.

A week had passed by the time Li Changheng took Annie to climb Huangshan Mountain and then to Guilin for sightseeing.

And the person who rushed to Qilu to look for the blue stone took the sample he found to the address university to inquire, and easily found that the blue stone was actually a rough sapphire.

Unfortunately, by the time they informed Ran Xinming, Li Changheng had already flown to New York with Annie in a private jet.

It took almost 5 months, and after the oil price really rose from 2.7 US dollars to 2.8 US dollars, Prince Nasser of Saudi Arabia convinced his father who is the chief.

I am going to invest 60 million US dollars and follow Li Changheng to Atlantic City to make a fortune.

For Li Changheng, if the sapphire of the Celestial Dynasty talks about it himself, it is definitely better to let Laura Quinn, a woman who has worked in the diamond and jewelry industry for more than 20 years, talk about it, and it is easier to lower the price.

And even if the negotiation is successful, it will be impossible to promote and stir up a newly discovered gem within a few years.

I don't want to make a lot of money and not make money, but put all my time and energy on the sky.

A few days after returning to the manor on Long Island, I saw Nasser who came with a dozen of his men and bodyguards.

As soon as we met, Nasser warmly hugged Li Changheng directly, and said with a smile on his face, "Long time no see, my dearest friend."

Li Changheng rolled his eyes, patted Nasser on the back, and pushed him away.

Nasser was not angry either. After greeting Annie, he took a box from his subordinates and opened it directly to reveal a land deed inside.

Look clearly on the title deed, which says that the owner of Phi Phi Island, a small and large island near Phuket, is his queen.

Annie looked at Nasser in surprise and bewilderment, then looked sideways at Li Changheng, asking for his opinion.

After reading the contents of the land deed clearly, Li Changheng smiled and said to Annie, "Since it is given to you, I will accept it."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Nasser and said, "It seems that you have made a lot of money in crude oil futures for more than four months."

After Annie thanked her for accepting the box, Nasser smiled and said, "Henry, my friend, if you want.

We are willing to sell you the 4 oil wells in the Kanal Oilfield for US$100 million. "

Li Changheng's eyes lit up, but he knew in his heart that the more Shate gave, the more they hoped to get in return.

"It seems that you have made at least hundreds of millions of dollars this time."

As soon as these words came out, Annie quickly covered her mouth in shock, while Nasser shrugged with a smile, "How is that possible.

The crude oil we exported last year was only 1.5 billion US dollars.

How difficult is it to earn hundreds of millions? "

Li Changheng did not believe this.

Crude oil has not been pegged to the US dollar these days, and the rules and regulations that will restrict them in the future simply do not exist.

Moreover, under the overall bullish situation of crude oil, betting on crude oil futures is a controllable loss for Saudi Arabia.

It even only needs to make some changes, such as canceling Nasser's inheritance rights, and internal chaos can lead to production cuts and increase oil prices.

Now it seems that Nasser's status has risen sharply by using this time to be long on crude oil.

Otherwise, even the 4 oil wells in Kanal Oilfield, the real price is 100 million US dollars.

It is impossible for Li Changheng to buy it at the original price.

Because the difficulty of exploiting oil fields in Saudi Arabia is not high in the world, the four oil wells are equivalent to giving him a golden job that can last for more than ten years, or even decades if the production is controlled.

Of course, there are gains and losses.

For a long time to come, as long as Nasser does not kill himself, under the same conditions, it will be much easier for him to make money with Li Changheng.

As far as Li Changheng is concerned, no matter how many years these four oil wells can be exploited, they are worth at least 300 million US dollars if they are sold in 1974.

Even after the oil panic started, the United States, England, France, island countries and other countries, in order to reduce the panic caused by high oil prices.

Under mutual competition, it is not impossible for oil fields, which are originally strategic materials, to sell for 400 million or 500 million US dollars.

Therefore, Li Changheng, who has the idea of ​​being a bastard and not taking advantage of it, of course will not reject those ten oil wells.

Anyway, Nasser's visit this time is for the Atlantic City project discussed in Phuket Island in January this year.

As long as he, or the Saudis behind him, are not allowed to lose money, and it is the Americans who finally forced them to withdraw, the responsibility for the incomplete completion of the business will not be on Li Changheng, the initiator.

Even if it weren't for these ten oil wells, whether Li Changheng would cooperate with Nasser is even a matter of opinion.

That's why, this time, there is a matter of buying both the island and the oil field.

After lunch at noon, Li Changheng and Annie took Nasser on the 100-meter yacht that they rebuilt from the hull of a frigate in London.

After visiting the entire ship, I heard that there were actually 4 concealed weapon systems on board. Although Nasser was not allowed to enter the machine gun compartment, he finally asked if he could build a similar yacht in England.
