Qin Juan heard Zhu Yu say that the profit of the transaction would be eight times or ten times, and she thought it was an exaggeration.
Looking at the raw lapis lazuli stone that could be sold for more than five figures in China, but only exchanged it for various cheap clothes worth only a few hundred yuan, which cost thousands of yuan, Qin Juan's three views were confused. About to collapse.
It was obvious that the local resident who exchanged the rough stones for clothes was very happy. He held the clothes in his hands and thanked the security team member who exchanged them.
What kind of world is this!
As researchers at the Institute of Geology, they are very familiar with all kinds of gemstones and minerals, so they naturally know the value of rough lapis lazuli.
So not only Qin Juan was surprised, Tan Leyu and Du Yongshan were also surprised.
Fortunately, they easily figured out the reasons and reasons for things. Since Zhu Yu can open up the situation here, the exchange will naturally be discussed by both parties.
As Elder Hassan said, even if other people come here to do business, they still believe in Zhu Yu.
Because of the convenient living conditions Zhu Yu provided them, their lives have undergone earth-shaking changes and they felt sincerity.
Even if others offer several times the price in exchange, local residents may not be willing to exchange!
Several students had many thoughts here. The discussion between Zhu Yu and Elder Hassan was over. Elder Hassan said hello to Professor Xiong Xiangbing and invited them to dinner in the evening before leaving.
"Mr. Zhu, we want to visit the coal mine again today." Xiong Xiangbing said to Zhu Yu, "This time the scope of the visit may be larger."
"Yes, no problem. But I can't accompany you this time. There are still things that need to be dealt with here." Zhu Yu explained.
"I understand. As long as someone can lead us there, it will be fine." Xiong Xiangbing said with a smile, "We went there yesterday, and today we are going to roughly determine the scope of the coal mine."
Zhu Yu asked someone to drive a Hummer and took Xiong Xiangbing and his party to the coal mine.
He is already planning to transport mining equipment here. Road construction is also on the agenda. After all, in order to transport equipment in and then start mining, a high-quality road is necessary.
The kind that can carry heavy trucks, and for a long time.
In addition, many elders from nearby tribes came over and wanted to discuss cooperation with Zhu Yu.
After all, Laomei has more than one base here, and those tribes saw that the living conditions of the tribes such as Hassan Baghel and others have greatly improved, and naturally they hope to improve their living standards together.
Who doesn’t want to live a life with constant electricity, running water, and air conditioning for watching TV?
Some tribes are so large that the population of one tribe is as large as four or five tribes like Hassan Bagher.
The resources that can be exchanged are also quite complex, mostly minerals, handmade products, and agricultural and animal husbandry products.
Some came with sincerity to do business, and some came with weapons intending to let Zhu Yu help them build for free.
Of course, under normal circumstances, Zhu Yu would not refuse such a tribe directly, but would ask Elder Hassan and the others to come forward and have a long talk first.
Then he took them to see the complete fortifications around the base, as well as the brand-new weapons that were pulled out of the caves and looked very deterrent due to frequent cleaning and maintenance. The harsh conditions of the tribes were basically withdrawn. .
It's not like there are people who don't have a long eye. Zhu Yu is naturally not afraid. Every day, the base catches people who want to sneak in and steal things to gather information.
Others are deliberately intended to damage photovoltaic equipment.
As for these people, before Zhu Yu and others could take action, the warriors from the tribe directly caught them and then shot them to death.
Having tasted the sweetness of good times, whoever wants to destroy it now is truly standing on the opposite side of the people and has no choice but to die.
As more and more electric tricycles were brought in, the donkeys in the tribe slowly lost their usefulness.
Compared with electric tricycles, donkeys are relatively troublesome. After all, it needs fodder and needs care. You also need to set up the car every day.
Electric tricycles only need to be charged regularly and do not even need maintenance.
Then Zhu Yu launched a business of exchanging an electric tricycle for a donkey, and it turned out to be very popular!
After all, in comparison, electric tricycles are so convenient and save a lot of trouble!
A donkey shipped back to China can be sold for about 10,000 yuan (retail price), and an electric tricycle can be sold for 3,000 to 4,000 yuan. Compared with others, this transaction is a loss.
But Zhu Yu felt that since he had earned so much, it would be okay to earn less.
What followed was that more tribes hoped to let Zhu Yu be responsible for building roads.
After all, the only disadvantage of electric tricycles is the road requirements. Mountain roads are naturally not easy to walk on.
For this matter, some tribes were even afraid of being pushed to the back of the queue for road construction, so they directly brought the materials used for road construction to the base and forcibly unloaded them, leaving Zhu Yu to figure out what to do.
There were also tribal elders who almost started a fight on the spot.
Just to clamor and hope that my tribe can build the road first.
This also opened the eyes of Xiong Xiangbing and others here.
It was Zhu Yu who finally settled the dispute by saying that he could start building multiple highways at the same time.
Zhu Yu told Zhao Changjie about this, and Zhao Changjie laughed from ear to ear!
Originally, some people in the group complained about the small amount of work, but now it is quite a lot!
As long as Zhu Yu's network remains, will there be fewer infrastructure projects?
If we build roads and houses now, we will naturally build more things later.
The big head is at the back!
Looking at the map, he found that Zhu Yu's area of influence had expanded to thousands of square kilometers. Zhao Changjie felt that this move was really the right one!
On the third night of Xiong Xiangbing's stay at the base, he basically determined the coal mine's reserves and coal quality. Although the quality of the coal here is not as good as China's best Taixi coal, it is not much worse.
The coal here also has the advantages of "three lows and six highs", namely low ash, low sulfur, low phosphorus, high calorific value, high mechanical strength, high specific resistivity, high chemical activity, high plateau coal lump coal rate, and high clean coal recovery Rate.
And the reserves are huge, conservatively looking at 700-800 million tons.
Because it is only a preliminary estimate, there is actually a slight discrepancy, but only a little more.
"Professor Xiong, I still have something to ask." Thinking about going to the Middle East tomorrow, Zhu Yu felt that there was an expert in front of him. It would be a pity not to ask.
"Mr. Zhu, just say it." Xiong Xiangbing said while eating the mutton.
"I am about to come into contact with an oil field here." Zhu Yu wiped his hands and said, "The oil field has just started to be developed, and the quality of the oil is good. The questions I want to ask are similar to the questions about this coal mine. I want to see if it is valuable and worthy of my large-scale investment.”
Xiong Xiangbing didn't expect that Zhu Yu was already eyeing the oil field again before the development of the coal mine started.
He put down the meat in his hand and asked:
"Does the oil field have specific data? Does it include oil replacement?"
"Yes." Zhu Yu said from memory, "The quality of the oil is pretty good, with an API gravity of 44.2 and a sulfur content of 0.0843%. The oil is relatively light and sweet. As for the reserves of the oil field, it should be less than 100 million tons. Detailed data Haven't gotten it yet.
Because mining has just begun, there are still spontaneous blowout wells, but the number of oil wells is not large, so many data are insufficient. "
"This data is already very impressive!" Xiong Xiangbing almost jumped when he heard the data reported by Zhu Yu:
"If that's the case, it's a strategic oil field! This kind of oil doesn't even need to be separated, it can be used directly!
The best crude oil in the world is Tapis crude oil produced in Malaysia. The data is better than the data from your oil field. The quality of oil from other Middle Eastern countries, including Russia, is not as good as yours... Mr. Zhu, are you kidding me? "
Zhu Yu is considered a complete layman on the situation in the oil field. The data he reported just now were also written down by Ran Jie.
Now seeing Xiong Xiangbing's reaction, he felt that he might have underestimated this oil field!
"Mr. Zhu, are you sure this oil field has just started to be exploited?"
"Yes." Zhu Yu thought for a while and said, "From discovery to now, the amount mined should not exceed 5,000 tons..."
"Then now is the most valuable time!" Xiong Xiangbing began to be jealous of Zhu Yu's good luck!
“Although the reserves of those oil fields are hundreds of millions of tons, billions of tons or even tens of billions of tons, in fact, the ones that are best exploited and require the least investment are less than one-tenth of the original reserves.
Because most of them were self-blowout wells at the beginning, with low investment, fast oil production, and good oil quality.
In the middle and later stages of exploitation, because the amount of oil in the oil field decreases and the self-effluent wells disappear, something needs to be poured into the oil field and then the oil is pumped up through power, and the investment will increase.
Why did the United States raid Iraq and occupy their oil fields? Isn’t it just for those oil fields?
They basically occupied the initial stage of the oil field where the best oil is the easiest to extract.
Although we have also invested in some oil fields overseas, the initial stage, the best and easiest to exploit, has basically passed, and we have reached a stage where large investments are required to exploit.
So Mr. Zhu, your oil field has unlimited potential! "
Zhu Yu suddenly became a little anxious when Xiong Xiangbing said this!
He really didn't expect that there were so many ways to exploit crude oil, and he immediately thought that he had really been delayed these two days.
If I had known this, I should have gone to the Middle East as soon as possible after getting the news and completed the procedures for the oil field!
The best oil in the world... Zhu Yu was a little excited just thinking about it!
Well, not the best, even second!
"Mr. Zhu, where is your oil field?" Xiong Xiangbing saw that Zhu Yu had stopped talking, and he became a little curious. "Is there any chance for us to see it?"
"There is a chance. But it will take some time." Zhu Yu said vaguely, "There are still some procedures that need to be finalized, so..."
"I understand." Xiong Xiangbing didn't ask deeply. He grabbed the meat again and said while eating, "When you finish it there, you must let me know. I hope to see an oil field like this - I pay for it at my own expense and won’t bother Mr. Zhu.”
Zhu Yu could tell that Xiong Xiangbing really wanted to see such an oil field. It was hard for him to be perfunctory, but the fact was not settled yet, so he couldn't make big claims.
Xiong Xiangbing's three students looked at the somewhat enigmatic Zhu Yu and felt that he was becoming more and more mysterious.
Let’s not talk about the coal mine. In fact, they were already excited near the coal pit. The quality of this coal is really very good.
There are piles of rough lapis lazuli stones and rough gemstones, just inside the base. It’s boring to see too many of them.
The respect that the tribe elders have for Zhu Yu can also be seen. Seeing that Zhu Yu is only in his twenties, but facing those tribe elders in their fifties and sixties, he is not inferior at all. On the contrary, he has the majesty of a superior. , which made them admire very much.
Well now, there is still an oil field that is comparable to the best quality crude oil in the world!
What does this man in front of me not have?
That night, after Zhu Yu had dinner, he went to find Ran Jie.
"If you are all right, we will set off tonight. We must go to the Middle East as soon as possible." Zhu Yu said, "I just realized that the value of that oil field is still very high."
"How high?" Cao Dalong, who was bored, suddenly became interested, "Do you have a small goal?"
"That's definitely more than that." Zhu Yu did some calculations and said, "Dozens of small goals are definitely worth it, and there may be more!"
"I'm going, we have to go!" Cao Dalong suddenly stood up, "If we occupy the oil field earlier, the Ju organization will lose a piece of income!"
"Yes, yes, let's do this first!" Ran Jie also became excited.
That night, Zhu Yu and the others took a plane and headed for the Middle East under darkness.
After arriving in the Middle East, for convenience, they bought two off-road vehicles and arrived at the small destination country. In a small town dozens of kilometers away from the oil field, Zhu Yu and the others stopped.
"We are divided into two groups here." Zhu Yu said, "Qin Fei, you and Dalong take the documents to go through the procedures and try to change the procedures as soon as possible. Ran Jie and I will go to the oil field to have a practical look. , it would be nice if we could do something small.”
"Boss, you and Lao Qin go over to handle the formalities, and Captain Ran and I will go handle the oil field matters." Cao Dalong immediately retorted, "You must go through the formalities in person. They may not recognize us even if we go there!"
Ran Jie and Qin Fei immediately seconded the proposal.
Zhu Yu felt that was right, and felt a little regretful. He originally planned to go to the oil field to do something good.
Now it seems that it is not possible.
"Okay, try not to damage the facilities in the oil field. Of course, the premise is to put your safety first. If the other party is taking strict precautions, then don't do anything yet."
The two parties separated in the small town, one going to the oil field and the other to the nearest city.
"Boss, the people here have said that the replacement procedures are not their responsibility. They have to go to the capital of their country. This matter is relatively important and they cannot be responsible for it."
Qin Fei walked out of an administrative building and said to Zhu Yu in the car.
"Let's go then, let's go to the capital and have a look." Zhu Yu said.
Fortunately, the country is not that big, so it doesn’t take long to get to the capital.
What's more important is that many people here can speak English, at least there is no barrier to communication, and what surprised Zhu Yu was that while he was waiting by the car, young people would come over and greet him in Chinese from time to time - although Just say hello.
Obviously, Chinese is really slowly spreading to the world, and the degree of openness here seems to be stronger than Zhu Yu imagined.
Driving to the country's capital, Zhu Yu found that although there were more people here, they were more conservative compared to local cities.
At least it seems that there are fewer women on the street, and their clothing is obviously more strict than in local cities.
Zhu Yu complained about this custom, but he also knew that this was something that people like him couldn't change.
Just watch.
The two people asked as they walked, and soon found the department responsible for leasing oil fields to external parties.
This time, Zhu Yu and Qin Fei arrived in the building together.
It's hot as fire outside, but it's as cool as spring inside the building.
It can be seen that there are many people coming here to register, and many foreigners come here to do business.
Zhu Yu could tell from their conversation that there were some large foreign companies engaged in development here.
He quite feels like he has no time to wait.
After registering, Zhu Yu and the others came to the office on the fifth floor.
"Do you need to go through the subletting procedures?" The local man in Baotou who was responsible for this matter frowned at the information handed over by Zhu Yu and asked:
"Where is Yamada who originally contracted this place?"
"He couldn't come because he owed me money, so he transferred this place to me. This is his power of attorney."
Zhu Yu handed over a power of attorney calmly.
The person took the power of attorney, looked at it, compared it with some materials on the computer, relaxed his brows slightly, and then said:
"Then wait, I need to report this matter to my superiors."
"Then shall we wait here?"
"No need. Come over tomorrow. There will be definite news tomorrow." The other party said this, and Zhu Yu and the others couldn't say anything.
Zhu Yu even regretted a little. He should have gone directly to the oil field and "received" the oil field. Anyway, now that the Ju organization has been crippled, there is a high probability that no one will be able to get through.
But think about it and forget it. After all, we have come, and more importantly, we must do it safely. After all, oil extraction is not a trivial matter, and it is impossible to just grab a handful and run away.
If you stay here for a long time, the best thing is to have legal procedures. Otherwise, it will be justifiable for others to drive you away.
"Then boss, what should we do? Wait?" Qin Fei asked after leaving the building and getting into the car in the bright sun.
"We can't wait." Zhu Yu said, "Wait a while, when the official gets off work, let's go to the public relations. If we can spend some money to get this matter done, it's worth it."
Qin Fei glanced at Zhu Yu in surprise, a little surprised, but it was normal after thinking about it.
After all, what they have been doing all along has been treasure hunting, and this is the first time they have officially done business like this.
And in this world, violence cannot solve all problems. Therefore, Qin Fei naturally supported Zhu Yu's plan.
After waiting for more than two hours, they saw people coming out of the building one after another. Zhu Yu and Qin Fei's sharp eyes quickly spotted the staff member who had received them earlier.
After the man drove away, Qin Fei immediately followed him in the car.
