Reborn Wealth America

Abel left Southampton in a hurry.

In addition to not wanting to provoke Anna, but also because he really has something.He is going to the middle of Texas and New Mexico.

Go and see his oil field.

As soon as I returned to New York, I went directly to the JFK International Airport, got on the plane that was prepared long ago, and set off for Texas.

on the airplane.

He got another good news from David Adams, who had already arrived in Texas.

California Union Petroleum, their engineers, accidentally discovered a copper mine in which California Union Petroleum has its own mining rights and ownership while exploring specific oil deposits near the oil field.

From the time of discovery, the copper mine was discovered on the second day.But because they are not sure, David Adams and California United Petroleum did not tell Abel the first time.After a month of various explorations and spent millions of dollars, I finally "touched" the rough reserves... it was another piece of good news that made Abel couldn't help but open a bottle of champagne on the plane.

The estimated total reserves of seven million tons...

David Adams told him that this is almost a well-known mineral giant, [Anglo American Resources], a super iron ore of the same grade as the Quilla Walk copper mine that started construction in 2013.

Quillavoke Copper Mine is an international mineral and resource industry, a very famous event, and a big mine.It was originally an absolute controlling shareholder of Anglo American Resources, with 81.9% equity.Japan’s Mitsubishi Corporation owns 18.1% of the shares.However, after several years of research on the feasibility of "sex", after all, the copper industry in southern Peru cannot be avoided.

The main problem is that Southern Copper not only has two nearby mines, but also monopolizes the local electricity. Unless a new power plant is built, there will be no electricity at all.The water needed for mineral processing and refining is even more difficult for the local area, because few residents in the surrounding area do not have water to drink. Where can there be water for the factory?!

In addition to this, there is another problem with railway transportation.In 2013, Southern Copper had built a railway from the desert to the Pacific coast.If this mining area wants to save costs, it must also use this railway.

The result is various compromises.

The world's top few super-large copper mines, Anglo American Resources, which originally owned more than 81 shares, ended up with only 40% left.

This is a bit wrong.

But no way.

However, this copper mine of Abel has not yet named a super same type with a content of more than 7 million tons.

California United Petroleum has outright ownership, because it seems to be an associated mine of that super oil field.

Although rarely heard of oil deposits, there are such rare things as copper mines.Because often copper mines are only associated with large coal mines and other metal mines.

This discovery.

It is even enough to be included in the history of world resource development.

But the good is good, David Adams said, now there is another problem.

The new, unnamed super large oil field, the current mining area has just started infrastructure construction, and the construction of oil transportation routes has just been planned.This is only the problem of California Union Petroleum. There are even bigger problems outside.

The problem is that this copper mine and this oil field are surrounded by four other oil companies or the land companies of mining companies.

Simply put, Abel's oil field also has a large copper mine, if it wants to be shipped out.He must pass through the land of these four companies, unless he builds an airport on his own land and chooses air transport.Otherwise, this piece of land is uncoincidentally surrounded by four other companies and must pass through them.

There is no sea here.

There are no large rivers.

If you want real transportation, and the quantity is huge, the only suitable way is to use railway or oil pipeline transportation.

"The current situation is very complicated. The 4 mining areas surrounding us for 4 weeks are even larger than ours. If we take the ocean transportation route, the route closest to the Atlantic coast must pass through [Corch Industries] in the mining area. If we go to the nearest Railroad, a ready-made oil transportation route, must pass through the Rockefeller family mining area."

"The remaining two surround our mining area, north and west. One is Royal Dutch Shell, the other is Valero Energy..."

David Adams talked directly with Abel’s private jet and had a lot of quick and easy conversations.

In fact, Abel knew about the fact that the four major mining areas surrounded his own mining area.

They are all private land. Logically speaking, it is impossible for them to transport oil without their permission.

But wealth is moving, and no one should be struggling with money.The most is to spend a little more money on transportation.

But now I did not expect that behind a super large oil field, there is a super large copper mine with a content of more than 7 million tons.The value of his mining area is even higher. 7 million tons of copper-a copper futures price is about 7,000 to 7,500 US dollars. It is the difference between content and quality, and the price of major futures trading houses. different.

Even if it is calculated based on the lowest price of 7,000 US dollars per ton, the price of 7 million tons of copper does not count the mining costs, transportation and subsequent operating costs.

The value of this copper mine exceeds 49 billion US dollars.After deducting various expenses, there is at least a profit of 30 billion U.S. dollars.

But copper mines often have another surprise, especially such large copper mines!

While Abel was meditating.

David Adams said to him: "It is well known in the industry. If it is iron ore or aluminum ore, there are often no surprises. But if it is a large coal mine or copper mine, there are often some surprises. Especially the super large copper ore. mine!"

"What surprise?" Abel, who was still Xiaobai in this regard, asked curiously.

"Associated mines. Petroleum mines are associated with copper mines, which is very incredible. But copper mines, large copper mines. Often accompanied by some precious metal mines, such as gold, silver or platinum, etc.!" David Adams certainly said.

"32 degrees 5 north latitude, 117 degrees east longitude, there is a surprise radar response in this regard. This shows that there are a good number of precious metal mines in it, but what it is is currently unclear."

I rely on!

Abel, the mining young man, was stunned.Unexpectedly, a super large oil field gifted by the smoke of fate, a super large copper mine popped up behind it. In addition to the copper mine, I actually told myself that there was gold or other valuable minerals.

Abel didn't know whether these treasures were buried there or they didn't exist.It was the power that changed fate buried them there.

But anyway.

This is actually a good thing.

That is, things will probably become very troublesome.

Originally a super large oil field was enough to make people suffer from red eyes. Now there is such a news that those red eyes may simply die.

The problem is this way.

Just to enclose this mining area in the center, the mining area of ​​the four companies.The tolls that might be acceptable in the first place will probably be doubled as a result.

After listening to the report by David Adams, Abel was silent for a while and said softly: "Temporarily block the news."

"Yeah." David Adams' expression was also a little solemn, "Currently these things. In addition to you and me, there are about 31 people who know. Their external communication tools have been confiscated by me, and they are not allowed to communicate with others during work. In name. But it can’t last long, I can only guarantee a maximum of one month.”

"One month..."

Abel pondered and said, "It should be enough."

At the very beginning, Abel knew about the oil field being blocked.And through California United Petroleum and David Adams, looking for three other companies besides the Rockefeller family to negotiate.

The problem of negotiating.

Koch Industries and the Rockefeller family demanded that if they were to pass by, they had to be part of it.Abel certainly disagrees, because the other two can be negotiated.

Royal Dutch Shell, they are a bit demanding, but they don't have the idea of ​​equity participation.

In the north, Valero Energy, which has a complete oil pipeline and several private asphalt roads, has the best attitude among the four companies.

They have long proposed that as long as they are willing to spend half of the money, half of the money they used to build the road.One main road can be shared, and the other side roads are allowed to be built separately by Abel, but they must be provided to them for free.And Abel will only have the right to use it for 10 years. This is to build the road for them, but also to use it. After 10 years, the road will still be their cheating request.

But compared with the higher requirements of the other three, this requirement they put forward is already the lowest.

Abel didn't want to build, he just wanted to use the ready-made transportation routes that the other party already had.But of course the other party refused to suffer this loss. The exploration costs and resettlement costs for these routes were all incurred by them, and now Abel is required to share it.

Abel also has no objection to this, but he asked to connect industrial electricity from Valero Energy's mining area. The other party now uses this as a bargaining chip and put forward a slightly excessive request, asking Abel to bear more substation costs.

Substations are actually consumables, just like large transformers have their own service life.The substations of such large industrial enterprises also have their own consumption life.

The discovery of oil is simple, and the fateful smog is an easy task.But if you want to mine, there are many problems, especially if you want to mine independently.

In addition to the above-mentioned business matters, there are also negotiations with the U.S. Department of the Interior, negotiations with the state government of Texas and New Mexico.So Abel's visit this time was not just for traveling.

There are many things he needs to solve. Fortunately, this is within the United States. If the African region or the more turbulent camel region will face anti-government armed forces, guerrillas, or simply illegal government forces, that is even more so. It's a headache.

Solving all this is actually very simple.One depends on contacts, the other depends on funds.As far as contacts are concerned, the best way is to give up the benefits, even if it is not in the oil and mining areas, you still have to give up in other areas.

Question of funding...

Is this a problem for him?

Abel is absolutely not short of funds. Although his investment is large each time, he makes more money from the financial market.Yesterday, I just made more than 11 billion U.S. dollars. This 11 billion U.S. dollars is enough for the initial capital for the development of California Union Petroleum to build this mining area.

Funding is not a problem at all.

However, it is not worthwhile to invest all the cash in his hand in the mining area. He does not want to rely on these to make a fortune, but only wants to use the influence at the source of the mineral industry to influence the market, influence the world, and enhance his world influence.

This is his ultimate goal of spending money to invest in various industries, otherwise.Where is the investment required?

When there is a shortage of money, I will scrape a sum in the financial market, and then spend all kinds of expenses, simply to die.

But in that case, there is really no challenge and meaningless.

Wasted such a big plug-in.

And if you do that, how is it different from the bullies in the camel country?

Even the Wall Street gang who play finance are like that.On the surface, what they care about is the service and the virtual figures.But relying on services and these virtual figures, they control the shares of most large companies in the world except for individual countries.

Since he established the Green State Investment in Sandhill Road, he has embarked on a road that never looks back.

on the airplane.

After hanging up from David Adams' correspondence, he closed his eyes and rested.

This time on a business trip, he did not take a woman for the rare first time.It's not that he didn't like eating meat suddenly, but to avoid Anna and chose to leave in advance.

Before arriving at the destination, Abel had already learned about it.Although the temperature in New York is already only a dozen degrees Celsius, it is even around 10 degrees at the coldest time.But the temperature here is still as high as 35 degrees Celsius.

Abel changed into a short-sleeved silk shirt and a pair of trousers made of Morse cloth.This kind of fabric is ultra-thin and wear-resistant. It is the material of many ultra-thin suits. It is very cool. This pair of trousers was made by Winnie’s private tailor specifically for Abel. In these aspects, she always Know a little more than other "female" children.

Knowing the local temperature, even Andrés took off his suit. In such a hot weather, he didn't want to be embarrassed by heatstroke.

The plane landed safely at the nearest airport to the destination. When Abel walked out of the cabin door, he realized that it did not seem to be particularly hot.In the crowd, he was the first to see David Adams.

In addition to David Adams, those who came to receive Abel included the current heads of California United Petroleum, the heads of the exploration team, and even some local officials.Even the special envoys of the governors of Texas and New Mexico have come, as well as officials of the land lease committees that span the two major states.

Abel was the first to get off the plane and was immediately greeted warmly by them.Everyone introduced each other, and without delay, they boarded their cars and a group of convoys drove to their destination.

Abel’s company’s vehicles are all Cadillac Escalade delivered by air in advance, specially modified for off-road purposes, not those of the more commercial and administrative type carried out in the city.

The local team is much more shabby, all Toyota land cruisers or domineering.

The mining area spans Texas and New Mexico.It's okay to say that there is nothing in Texas.But there is a small town in the mining area here in New Mexico.

The town is independent.

California United Petroleum has the right to mine underground mineral deposits in the mining area, but the premise is that it cannot affect the small town in the mining area.Because before those mines were discovered, the residents of the town developed here.

This is a part of a small town, located in the wilderness of southern New Mexico. A large lake formed by melting snow from the snow-capped mountains nourishes the people of the small town.Although it is a town, it is not like the small towns of hundreds of thousands of people in China... This small town called St. John has less than 5,000 people in total.However, relying on abundant resources here, the economy is relatively developed.

St. John's is very small and arrived at his destination within half an hour from the airport.A small town on the edge of a big lake, then the car stopped by the lake and changed boats...

Ten minutes later, Abel and others stood in front of a five-story building on an island in the center of the Great Lake with only a dozen acres.

In this wilderness, in such a small town, this is already the most upscale.

David Adams laughed and said: "Although this hotel is not too high-end, the facilities inside are not bad, and you can only come here with this condition. And the scenery is really good. The island in the center of the lake has a view of the lake. villa!"

"Don't think of me as a young master who can't bear hardship. Give me a blanket and I can lie down in the Internet cafe for a month."

This is not bragging.As an internet addicted teenager, he used to be true, lying in an internet cafe for a month.Leaning on instant noodles, mineral water, a blanket and a computer...

Although he has lived a full and luxurious pomp since his rebirth, it seems pretty good to recall the hard times occasionally.

Along the way, Abel and David Adams learned more about the official opinions of Texas and New Mexico, and learned about the mentality of several key figures.

"Texas is actually easy to handle. The senator from this state is a good friend of Uncle A. Our influence is Texas except Massachusetts."

David Adams whispered to Abel in the carriage.

"But here in New Mexico... it's an out-and-out donkey party. The key is that more than half of the oil fields are still here. And most of the copper mines are also here, and there may be associated precious metal mines. Here..."

"It's the most troublesome here."
