The live broadcast room was noisy.

Everyone was encouraging Xiao Ran to get this precious land deed.

Since Sylvia and the others were nearby, Xiao Ran did not respond.

After a pause, he asked curiously:

"Where is the land corresponding to this title deed? I would like to know more about it."

Sylvia and the others looked at each other and immediately gave their answers.

"Actually, we don't need to introduce you. You can see the land deed later and you will naturally understand the relevant situation."

"The land corresponding to that title deed is in the Permian Basin at the border of Texas and New Mexico."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Ran was already stunned on the spot, with a look of ecstasy flashing in his eyes.

After a while, he came to his senses.

After calming down a little, he whispered:

"I know the Permian Basin, which is the richest oil field in the United States."

"Just the year before last, the Geological Survey had just discovered the richest oil and gas field in the United States with proven reserves so far in the Permian Basin."

"If I guess correctly, the huge gold mine you are talking about should refer to the oil and natural gas buried deep underground, right?"

Kevin nodded slightly.

"Yes, it is indeed oil and gas buried deep underground. Aren't those treasures black gold?"

"The land corresponding to that title deed is one of the few remaining private farms in the Permian Basin."

"The location of this private farm is not far from the giant oil and gas field that was just discovered. It is very likely to be a huge gold mine."

"Wow!"

Xiao Ran exclaimed in surprise, and then said decisively:

"If you say that, I'm very interested in this title, because who wouldn't be interested in owning an oil field?"

"Hahaha"

Sylvia and Kevin both laughed.

Next, everyone briefly discussed cooperation matters.

Because there are too many people staring at this land deed, and all of them are powerful, including financial giants on Wall Street.

Sylvia and the others were worried that they were not strong enough, so they thought of recruiting Xiao Ran to join the team and bid for the land title together.

While Xiao Ran was discussing in low voices with these guys, the live broadcast room was completely boiling.

"Holy shit! There's really everything in this auction, and there's even the title deed to the oil field."

"What are you waiting for? We must win it, even if we lose everything!"

Let nature take its course exclaimed.

"How big of a loser must he be to actually mortgage the title deed of such a treasured land for gambling."

"The prodigal son who mortgaged the land deed must have been chopped into pieces by his family long ago, so he didn't redeem the land deed!"

Po Xuanqi from the Winter Palace said with emotion.

At the preview scene, Xiao Ran and Kevin had finished their discussion.

The environment here is noisy, with hundreds of pairs of eyes staring at it. It is not a place to discuss cooperation.

Everyone just briefly discussed a few words, determined to find a place to talk in detail later, and ended the conversation.

During this discussion, Xiao Ran did not agree to Kevin's proposal to bid together, and only said that he would consider it.

Kevin and the others knew that he had the ability to bid and win the land title alone, and it didn't matter whether he cooperated with others.

So they can only hope that Xiao Ran can bring people like them to play together instead of eating alone.

After finishing the conversation and preparing to leave, Xiao Ran suddenly asked curiously:

“Since the Venetian Casino has obtained this land title, why would it put it up for auction? I don’t quite understand.”

"Since there may be oil and natural gas under the land corresponding to this title, why don't the casino owners exploit it themselves?"

"In comparison, the oil and gas business is not much better than the gambling business, and it can be completely laundered."

Kevin shook his head slightly.

"Everyone knows who runs the casinos; everyone also knows who controls the U.S. oil industry."

"It is simply impossible for the boss behind the Venetian Casino to enter the oil industry. It is tantamount to seeking death."

"And these guys are used to making quick money, so how can they have the patience to explore and exploit oil?"

"That would require huge costs and a high possibility of failure."

Xiao Ran nodded in agreement, but didn't say anything more.

The oil and gas industry in the United States has always been in the hands of a few well-known old families, which cannot be penetrated by needles or poured out.

Anyone who wants to enter this industry must look at the faces of those established families.

Ordinary people may be fine and won't pose any threat to those families. Those established families may be lenient.

But if the gangsters who run casinos want to enter this industry, they will definitely hang themselves. They are tired of living!

Kevin continued to introduce the situation, while Xiao Ran listened.

"I just said that deep underground in this land, there may be oil and gas fields, or there may be nothing at all."

"In this case, the wisest choice for the Venetian owner is to sell the land deed."

"In fact, he does need a lot of money for emergency relief."

"There are many people eyeing this land, but few are ready to exploit oil. Most of them want to sell the land and make huge profits."

Hearing this, Xiao Ran suddenly realized.

"I understand. If it were me, I would not mine oil and natural gas. Instead, I would resell the land title to make a profit."

"The oil conglomerate headed by the Rockefeller family really cannot be offended by anyone."

After chatting for a few more words, Sylvia and the others said goodbye and left.

Xiao Ran continued to visit the many auction items displayed in the exhibition hall and continued to hunt for treasures.

He was not in a hurry to check the status of the land deed. He just glanced at the display case where the land deed was displayed.

as expected!

The bulletproof display cabinet in the distance was already surrounded by people, and everyone's eyes were probably bloodshot.

As soon as Sylvia and the others left, David solemnly whispered:

"Sean, if you are interested in this land deed, I suggest you bid jointly with Kevin and the others. It will be safer that way."

"Kevin is right when he says that not everyone in the United States has access to oil and gas exploration rights."

Xiao Ran paused for a moment, then nodded.

"I'll think about it, David, and I won't put myself in danger."

"Even if I take this title deed, I will not start to exploit oil and natural gas. At most, I will sell the land at a high price after proven reserves."

"call!"

David let out a breath and seemed to relax a little.

Then, they walked towards a bulletproof glass display stand nearby.

In this display rack, there are many dazzling jewelry and many top brand watches.

Different from the previous showcase, the items displayed in this showcase are all Western-style jewelry.

Mainly all kinds of diamond and gemstone jewelry, as well as gold jewelry and so on.

While visiting the showcase, Xiao Ran whispered through his earphones:

“Does anyone know anything about the Permian Basin in the United States, or knows someone in the oil industry?”

"Can you help me find out about this giant oil and gas field newly discovered by the United States two years ago?"

"It would be great if we could get the reserves and distribution data of this giant oil and gas field. I will thank you deeply."

Before he finished speaking, someone responded immediately.

"Xiao Ran, I have relatives working in CNOOC's exploration department."

"He may know the relevant situation, and I can help find out the situation."

The boy from Nancheng spoke up.

"I know a few friends from the Petroleum Exploration Bureau. This is oil exploration information from the United States. It does not involve confidentiality. I should be able to get some information."

"But I want to ask, Xiao Ran, how do you plan to thank me again?"

The fish in the Haihe River asked one after another.

Obviously, this is not the case.

Before he finished speaking, several other guys also agreed.

Xiao Ran smiled softly and immediately gave the answer.

"As long as the information you provide is useful and can help me make up my mind to take a photo of this land deed, I will be grateful."

"If the next thing you take in the live broadcast room is worth more than one million, it will be 30% off."

"If the value is less than one million, it will be 50% off, but you only have one chance, so you must be sincere!"

As he made the conditions, those guys immediately cheered.

Immediately afterwards, they launched a relationship and began to inquire about the Permian oil and gas field in the United States.

After saying this, Xiao Ran continued to look at the jewelry, watches, etc. on the display rack in front of him.

Looking at the dazzling jewelry on the display shelves, many female fans in the live broadcast room screamed with excitement.

"I've fallen in love with that emerald necklace by Van Cleef & Arpels, Xiao Ran, be sure to take a picture of it for me."

"That Cartier bracelet is so beautiful, I want that treasure."

Unlike these female fans, the attention of many male fans is attracted by those top-notch watches.

"Help take a look at that Rainbow Di, Xiao Ran. If it is genuine, I must help my brother get it."

"If you can't afford a Patek Philippe limited edition watch, you can still do it by buying a Rainbow Disco to look cool."

"Xiao Ran, help me take a look at the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 26420. If it is genuine, then take it."

Xiao Ran would naturally not refuse these guys' requests.

"No problem, I will help you check these treasures carefully, just prepare the money!"
