"There is another commodity that you should also focus on, and that is coal. Coal mines in Germany have been restricted from mining, and there will definitely be a shortage of coal in Europe.
We are now going to start signing equipment purchase agreements with coal mining companies.
Don’t worry about not being able to digest this kind of resources and materials. They can be shipped to Brazil and used by our Fangyuan Group’s steel plant.
If given the opportunity, I hope that our Global Group can have the opportunity to enter the coal industry.
After all, the United States and Canada have some of the largest coal reserves in the world.
However, these two markets are relatively mature. Maybe it is a little late for us to enter now.
How about this! We can think of a solution for coal in Colombia, our country in South America.
After all, the distance to our Brazil will be shorter in the future. "
Of course, Wan Chongxin carried out Fang Lang's order without hesitation and immediately said:
"I understand, boss. I will start preparations as soon as I get back."
Fang Lang came to Wan Chongxin, patted Wan Chongxin on the shoulder and said:
"Don't worry, let's sit down and talk.
There is also a very huge opportunity in this matter, which is the reconstruction of Europe. "
Hearing Fang Lang mention the reconstruction of Europe, Wan Chongxin didn't react for a while. After all, Europe is currently undergoing reconstruction.
Seeing that Wan Chongxin was silent, Fang Lang smiled and said:
"What? I don't believe it!
Let’s put it this way! Once this step is reached, Europe will become the forefront of the confrontation between the two major groups.
Do you think the United States can still allow Europe to continue to be in chaos like it is now? "
"Boss, you mean that the United States will support the reconstruction of Europe."
After hearing Fang Lang's analysis, Wan Chongxin immediately grasped the key point. If the United States wants to participate in the reconstruction of Europe, it must either provide loans or provide support.
But even the support will definitely not be compulsory or free. This is a big business!
The more Wan Chongxin thinks about it, the more frightened he becomes. If it is as he suspected, as long as global trade can catch this ride in advance, the development prospects of the world will become unlimited!
"if not?
Since the United States wants Europe to serve as a pawn, how can it not give it enough benefits?
This means that if you want the horses to run away, you must have less fodder! "
At this moment, Wan Chongxin didn't understand the twists and turns involved!
His whole body was shaking with excitement, and it took him a long time to suddenly say:
"So, boss, when you signed the licensing agreement with those shipyards, you wanted the ships produced by them. Is this the reason?
You've been anticipating this day for a long time, right?
Boss, are you a prophet? "
Fang Lang was also shocked when he heard what Wan Chongxin said. Is this a personality cult?
However, Fang Lang couldn't admit this kind of thing, so he just smiled and denied it:
"These things can all be analyzed in advance. As for how to analyze them specifically, you can think about it yourself.
When you can understand the reasons and analyze some things yourself, you will become a truly successful businessman. "
This incident had a huge impact on Wan Chongxin.
It turned out that he felt that the gap between himself and his boss was not very big. However, today I suddenly realized that I had only reached the second floor and my boss was already in the atmosphere.
It is simply an existence that can only be looked up to.
Originally, Wan Chongxin wanted to continue to learn more from his boss, but unfortunately, the secretary outside knocked on the door and informed Fang Lang that a gentleman named Rayer came to visit with the two of them.
Wan Chongxin could only stand up and say goodbye to Fang Lang. Fang Lang smiled and patted the other party on the shoulder. After a few words of encouragement, hoping that he would learn more, he did not stay.
I thought that only one person from Rayer came over, but unexpectedly, three people came over.
but
Fortunately, Fang Lang had seen the information of these three people in Ridgefield Company's information.
Several people exchanged greetings. Fang Lang guided them to the reception area to sit down. After asking the secretary to bring a few cups of tea, he went straight to the topic:
"I heard my assistant tell me that Mr. Leyer has been waiting for me in New York for a long time, right?"
Mr. Reyer and two other Richfield Company managers met Fang Lang for the first time and seemed a little embarrassed.
Hearing Fang Lang's initiative to ask, Reyer quickly replied:
"Yes, I'm sorry to disturb you Mr. Fang.
The main reason is that Richfield Company has been fully acquired by Universal Group, but we have not waited for the new boss to come over and rearrange our work.
The employees felt a little uneasy. "
Fang Lang pointed to the cups of tea on the coffee table and motioned to the others to do as they pleased.
He glanced at a few people slowly, and finally rested his eyes on Mr. Leyer and said:
"Then I wonder if the situation in Richfield Company got out of control during this time when you were in New York?"
"Mr. Fang, please rest assured, although we are not in the company.
However, the company's business is continuing normally and has not been affected.
Only the Prudhoe Bay exploration project has been temporarily suspended due to financial constraints.
However, the company now has about 2 million in debt, which will be due next month.
I hope you, boss, can prepare early. "
Two million is of course nothing to Fang Lang. He is now more concerned about the oil exploration work in Prudhoe Bay.
In his impression, the reason why the oil in Prudhoe Bay was not explored in the early stage was that the drilling depth was not enough, and some drilling holes were even less than ten meters away from the actual oil layer.
"Two million dollars in debt is a small problem.
Mr. Reyer, I heard Mr. Morgan spoke very highly of you.
Considering that you have worked in this company for so many years, I have no intention of changing the company's management for the time being.
However, the group company will definitely send new financial and personnel personnel to the company, and I hope you can actively cooperate.
In addition, the company's name will be changed to Global Petroleum Exploration.
My concern now is how much more money I will need to invest in continuing oil exploration in Prudhoe Bay. "
Reyer obviously did not expect that Fang Lang would continue the oil well exploration work in Prudhoe Bay.
After all, it can be said that Richfield Company was brought down by this project.
Nowadays, the outside world is generally pessimizing the Prudhoe Bay project, believing that there may be no oil at all.
However, Reyer still believed that there must be oil fields in Prudhoe Bay, and previous scientific research and demonstrations supported this view.
It's just that they still don't understand why they have been exploring for so long and have drilled thousands of wells without finding the target.
Even if their company was directly brought down, oil could not be discovered.
He thought that the new boss would definitely give up this project, but he didn't expect that the boss's first target was still the Prudhoe Bay oil field project.
Somewhat unbelievably:
"Boss, are you serious?
I mean, are we going to continue to explore in Prudhoe Bay? "
"why not?
How big are our exploration licenses now in Prudhoe Bay! "
"Boss, we originally bought the exploration license for the entire central area of Prudhoe Bay from the Alaska government.
It covers an area of 100,000 acres and cost a total of $9.3 million.
The amount of money invested is really huge. In addition, Prudhoe Bay is close to the Arctic and the land is covered with frozen soil, making mining difficult.
Because permafrost has a great impact on seismic waves, we later developed a method to correct permafrost data.
So, this
The huge investment in the project was the real reason that brought down Richfield Company. "
Perhaps the reason why Reyer explained this situation to Fang Lang was to remind him again of the huge risks of this project.
When Fang Lang heard this, he was secretly happy. Just purchasing the exploration license for this land cost US$9.3 million.
I only invested 10 million US dollars in acquiring this company.
Together with the company's machinery and equipment, it has oil exploration rights to another piece of land in Texas.
Coupled with the oil wells that are now producing a steady stream of oil, this acquisition is really profitable.
Historically, this oil field was not actually dug until December 1967. In other words, if normal progress was followed, it would take 21 years for this oil well to be available.
Now that I have the opportunity to acquire this company in advance, of course, I will not let this matter drag on forever.
"What is the maximum drilling depth of our exploration equipment now?"
"2,000 meters, our current maximum exploration depth can only reach two thousand meters."
"It's not enough. Immediately after I get back, I'll order a drilling rig with a depth of at least 2,500 meters.
In the central area of Prudhoe Bay, drilling continued where drilling had already been done.
Drill all the way to 2,500 meters to see if there is any harvest. Can it be done? "
The boss has spoken, and of course Reyer will not have any objections.
He understood what the boss meant, which was to trust their judgment that there was an oil field in Prudhoe Bay.
It is believed that the reason why they did not succeed was that the drilling depth was not enough.
"No problem, Mr. Fang, I will immediately order a drilling rig from Loveland Company with a depth of 2,500 meters."
Fang Lang was very satisfied with Reyer's attitude, smiled and said:
"I will have dinner with Mr. Morgan later to discuss it and then provide our Global Oil Exploration Company with a loan of US$10 million to carry out this project.
I hope you don't disappoint me. "
When Rayer heard about it, he actually had a fund of 10 million U.S. dollars. This amount of money would be absolutely enough if exploration was continued based on the original drilling.
Therefore, Reyer was very excited for a while.
He quickly stood up and said gratefully to Fang Lang:
"Mr. Fang, thank you! We will not let you down."
The two people next to Reyer also stood up to express their thanks, but one of them's eyes lit up when he heard the $10 million in funding.
The performance looks the same as the other two, but there is a slight difference.
Fang Lang had seen this person from the information, Zuel Swann, who was responsible for the logistics and equipment management of Ridgefield Company.
This guy is responsible for all the company's equipment procurement and maintenance work.
Thinking of the other party's reaction after hearing his words, Fang Lang was sure that this guy was not a good guy, at least he was a piece of trash who took kickbacks or embezzled public funds.
It turns out that Fang Lang can't control what happens at Ridgefield Company.
However, now that Ridgefield Company has been acquired by me, it is absolutely impossible for me to allow such a person to exist.
However, as the boss, of course I cannot fire employees just because I take one look at them and think there is something wrong with them.
But when the three of them left, Fang Lang stopped Reyer and asked him to launch an investigation into Mr. Zuel Swan together with the personnel stationed in the group company.
Focus on investigating the other party’s financial problems.
If, after getting the definite evidence, talk to the other party directly.
Of course, the result is that this person will not be retained in the new company.
