Rebirth

Chapter 831 Li Feng's Energy Ambition

In general, although the U.S. imperial government has indeed supported various energy researches in order to get rid of the energy crisis, the support is actually very small when it comes to shale gas.

Let me start with the first point, energy policy and financial support.

When the U.S. was formulating its energy security strategy, the shale gas R&D project was called the Eastern Gas Project by the Department of Energy.However, from the 1970s to the present, the total investment of the U.S. Department of Energy has only been around 100 million U.S. dollars. For the entire U.S. shale gas project, it can be said that there is almost no.

We must know that only Michelle Energy has invested about 250 million US dollars from the 1980s to the present. So much money has been invested in it and there is no output. In fact, most people have long been unable to withstand it.

In fact, in the Michelle Energy Company, the voice of opposition has never ceased, but George Michel, the founder and chief executive, has always been strong and there is no way.

Second, the US government has indeed introduced a tax credit policy in order to promote the development of shale gas.

However, as energy companies engaged in shale gas research, they are all doing things at a loss. Where can they talk about taxes, and those big companies will also invest part of them every year for tax avoidance purposes.

Well, this can be regarded as a way for some companies to avoid tax.

As a super-rich, Li Feng is now accustomed to a group company's annual revenue of tens of billions, but the net profit of up to several billions of statements, from enterprises to individuals, there are too many legal tax avoidance methods.

...

Of course, the U.S. imperial government is not doing charity. In many cases, policy support is not without cost. For example, in 1987, the Natural Gas Research Institute of the U.S. imperial government proposed to research and develop jointly with Michel Energy, so as to give Certain support.

In the end, Michelle rejected the government’s “good intentions”. The reason was that he was worried that any unnecessary public reports might increase the company’s land area, prices, and other aspects, and these effects would be negative. influences.

For example, the increase in land prices and area will naturally bring about an increase in the cost of research technology. For a shale gas company that has been operating at a loss, like Michelle Energy, this will be a disaster. After all, if the state conducts certain Strong support will definitely cause many people to swarm up, leading to intense competition and increased costs.

Secondly, national researchers stepped in and waited until the real results came out. Many times, the Michelle Energy Company had little arms and legs. In many cases, it was not his own decision.

More importantly, Michel believes that shale gas technology should be a critical period for breakthroughs.For this reason, before that, Michelle actually bought or rented the seven major shale gas core areas in the United States, hoarding a large amount of shale gas mineral land resources.

It can be said that if shale gas is really used in commercial applications, Michelle Energy will definitely be able to occupy the bulk of it, and Michelle did so in history.After all, Michel is still an American businessman, and he also wants to become a pivotal position in the American energy industry.

When the funds were raised, those investors entered the shale gas industry one after another, but they suddenly discovered that apart from those originally owned, many of the land with shale gas resources were occupied by Michel Energy. Finally, investors on Wall Street and even across the United States had to purchase these shale gas land resources from Michel Energy Company or cooperate in development.

Michelle Energy not only raised funds, but also made a fortune because of these shale gas land resources. From this we can see the importance of being able to'flick'.

...

Of course, in Li Feng’s view, Michelle is still selling early. If the land that stores a large amount of shale gas and shale oil is hoarded there, when the shale gas revolution officially breaks out in the new century, then Michelle's energy company will be able to become a giant in the global energy industry.

Looking at the lively scene in the banquet hall, Li Feng felt like "everyone is drunk and I am alone". He watched Michelle and George surrounded by the crowd, talking to investors about shale gas. In the foreground, Li Feng said hello to Xu Youyu, and the two of them walked over with the reception.

Others are still thinking about it, but Li Feng has greater confidence than George Michel himself. Now that he has such an opportunity, Li Feng naturally thinks about how to include Michelle Energy in his bag, with comparable ambitions. The others are much older.

If a wholly-owned acquisition of Michelle Energy can be achieved, and the shale gas and oil resources reserved by Michelle Energy can be controlled by the rest of the investors, then the gas and oil resources of the United States will be controlled in the future. In the hands.

At that time, Li Feng said that the U.S. imperial energy industry will be shaking three times. Although it is not up to the level of John Rockefeller, it may still have half the power of John Rockefeller.

"Two'George', how about we talk?"

Before the two of them, after the rest of the investors greeted Li Feng, Li Feng smiled and said to everyone.

Li Feng's meaning is obvious, he has a certain interest in shale gas, and I would like to invite you to leave for a while, and I want to talk with them in private.

...

It can also be seen from the performance of the crowd that although Li Feng is young, he is indeed already a super boss. This is supported by the super wealth of the increasingly influential and wealthy countries.

"Mr. John, I'll say goodbye first, you guys talk!"

"Mr. Governor, Michelle, talk to you!"

"..."

"You two, let's go over there for a chat!" Seeing everyone leave temporarily, Li Feng looked around and pointed to a place where no one was there.

"OK, John, if you can invest in Michelle's energy company, that would be the best!" Xiao Bu responded with a smile.

"Haha...George, to be honest, I am really interested in mineral resources. After all, human life today cannot do without these, right?

However, you should also know that I really don’t know the energy industry, but at least I know one thing, that is, there are a lot of natural gas and oil resources stored in shale. Unfortunately, due to technical reasons, it has not been effectively developed. Perhaps With the development of technology in the future, it can be mined.

It is a pity that at least it is still a loss-making business. No one knows what the future will be, whether it will be a complete squatter or a tempting resource extraction. Of course, this may be a chance for me, isn't it?"

...

"Yes, this is a gamble, but I think the possibility of success is very high." George Michel replied with confirmation.

"Michelle, I know that you have been studying shale gas since the early 1980s, so I would like to ask, when do you think the energy in shale will officially enter the full commercial stage.

I think no one can guarantee, please forgive me for taking the liberty, otherwise, Michelle, you don’t need to be so old, and you are still running across the United States and looking for funds, right?"

"I believe it will be fast. I think the accumulation of technology has almost reached the tipping point. As long as a breakthrough is made, the harvest season will follow."

"OK, after all I am not a professional technically, I won't say anything, I just want to know the approximate time, Michelle, to be honest, I heard that you are almost 80 years old, I don't know how long you can support , To invest in your energy company, I have to take a big risk." Li Feng attacked again.

Although I am sure of others in my heart, if you want to get the greatest gains with the least cost, what you should suppress and fight before you succeed is still what you should do.

"John, we are also old friends. Just tell me, what kind of conditions do you want?" The shrewd classmate Xiaobu understood what Li Feng said, and immediately asked Li Feng with a smile.

"George, Michelle, I do have a great interest in the abundant energy in shale, but at least for now, I still don’t see a business prospect. I need to invest huge amounts of money every year, perhaps 3 years, 5 years, or even 10 years. 20 years, 20 years, who knows?

Another thing is that I have never been in the energy industry before and lack talents. Therefore, I want to directly control or even acquire Michel Energy. I am talking about all assets, including talents, technology patents, equipment, land and minerals, etc.

I think you should understand that I am only 17 years old now and I have time to wait, even if it is 20 years and 30 years of continuous investment."Li Feng replied firmly.

...

Obviously, Li Feng has his own ambitions. The future shale gas revolution is destined, and Michel Energy now occupies the best resources. From technology to mineral reserves, this is simply a godsend opportunity.

One more thing, Michelle is already old, almost 80 years old. Later, the Michelle Energy Company was sold by him soon, after all, he is too old to help him.

"impossible!"
