Seeing that Gao Xian swept through his competitors with the momentum of moving forward bravely and won block 330 of Eugene Island cleanly, Prince Charles and his girl said "yes" in unison with excitement.
Little Bush shook his head slightly. How long will it take to earn 50 million dollars? According to the current highest crude oil price of US $3 per barrel, it is equivalent to the value of nearly 17 million barrels of crude oil.
You know, if the offshore oil platform can produce 10000 barrels of crude oil per day, it will definitely meet the dream big oil field.
But even so lucky, it will take four or five years to extract the nearly 17 million barrels of crude oil.
Moreover, there is a certain time limit in the high production period of the oil field, and the cost and technology of extracting oil from the seabed are much higher than that from the land.
At this stage, a large oil producing country like the United States is not increasingly dependent on high-quality and cheap oil in the Middle East.
Thinking of this, little Bush felt pain for Gao Xian's head.
Gao Xian was calm and smiled at Royal Dutch Shell's winning block 331 on Eugene island.
In fact, Gao Xian doesn't worry about money at all.
As long as their own No. 330 oil field in Eugene Island finds oil, the bank must rush to send him funds.
What Gao Xian really needs to think about is how to really dig out the huge interests of the first reserve on the continental shelf of the United States in the No. 330 oil field on Eugene Island, and let other forces dare not covet it.
Obviously, in order to do this, we need to unite the local forces of the United States as allies, and the Bush family, which has not yet accumulated resources without dew, is a good choice.
"You really photographed a block?" old bush, who heard the news, opened his mouth in surprise.
"You can't come back empty handed." Gao Xian shrugged. "As for the professional affairs of exploration and trial mining, please ask Mr. Bush to help."
"No problem." seeing the business coming to the door, old Bush had no reason to refuse.
Moreover, at present, Bush Sr. has only the post of chairman of the National Committee of the Communist Party of America, and has no office. This year is neither the year of presidential election nor the year of mid-term election. He is really a little idle.
……
In this era, some concepts need to be clarified, that is, even in the United States, its financial system belongs to a relatively simple stage.
To put it bluntly, except that stocks are mature, many other financial derivatives have no shadow.
For example, the essence of Internet financial products such as so and so treasure, which are well-known in the Internet era decades later, monetary fund, has not appeared at this stage.
For another example, although there are relevant futures in the current global oil industry, the standard oil futures contract traded on the exchange, which is understood by people decades later, also does not appear now.
The reason is not difficult to understand. The authoritative main benchmark price system for global oil procurement, such as Brent crude oil and West Texas Intermediate crude oil, has not been established, and the exchange does not even have the minimum standard futures subject matter.
The deeper reason for this fact is that after the standard oil company was ruled illegal monopoly by the US Supreme Court, the monopoly enterprise alliance formed by the division of three large oil companies and four other oil companies has controlled the global oil market for a long time. At present, the organization of petroleum exporting countries is in a fierce battle with it, Compete for the pricing power of their own oil.
It is against this background that the international crude oil price has gradually risen from the previous US $1 per barrel to the current maximum US $3 per barrel.
It will not be until the 1980s when the OPEC pricing system is crippled, and the seven sisters such as Exxon, Mobil and Royal Dutch Shell no longer brazenly manipulate the global crude oil price, that the standard crude oil futures contract in the exchange really shows a sense of existence.
Therefore, if Gao Xian wants to make huge profits from the oil industry, the most effective way is industry, and then he has to spend his mind on dredging the relationship between the two countries.
However, Prince Charles has been visiting the United States for a long time. In addition, he has begun to be followed and intercepted by the American media. It is time for him to return home.
For the time being, he could not leave Gaoxian in the United States. Naturally, there was no reason to stop him, so while eating, drinking and entertaining, he proposed: "Your Highness should return to Britain. However, in order to book a luxury cabin, the flight was a little later. In this gap, your highness is not like to relax at the premiere of a film I invested in."
During this time, Prince Charles and his lavish high string can be said to get along well and have forged a very deep friendship. Even he regretted that he shouldn't come out with a girl and missed the opportunity to have a better time. He can only wait for the next time.
Of course, Prince Charles will not, nor dare he regard Gao Xian as a fair weather friend.
You know, when Gao Xian entertains Prince Charles, flattery belongs to flattery, but it is not flattery.
More importantly, the strength shown by Gao Xian must be respected. It was no joke that he threw $50 million at the auction and won the pen of block 330, Youjin island.
Therefore, when Gao Xian invited Prince Charles to cheer for his investment in the film platform, Prince Charles willingly agreed.
Gao Xian moved the British crown prince to attend the premiere of the film is Li Xiaolong's fight between the dragon and the tiger.
Noting that Li Xiaolong's public relations with the media and martial arts circles in Xiangjiang are getting worse and worse, as well as the rumored relationship, coupled with his hidden illness, Gao Xian asked Zou wenhuai to send Li Xiaolong back to Los Angeles.
Zou wenhuai didn't dare not. He took Xiangjiang as a springboard and tended to eventually develop in Hollywood. This time, he didn't play his temper and obediently returned to the United States.
"Fight between the dragon and the tiger" is a Hollywood film pursued by Li Xiaolong, because although the shooting scene is mainly in Xiangjiang, important actors and a considerable number of people behind the scenes come from Hollywood.
By this standard, "the Dragon fights the tiger" is indeed a Hollywood film.
At the same time, considering that the relationship between Li Xiaolong and Xiangjiang media has been very bad, Gao Xian made a direct decision, and the global Premiere of "fight between the dragon and the tiger" was put in the United States.
You know, Gao Xian is already a real tycoon in Xiangjiang. In addition, the US $1 million shooting budget for "fighting the dragon" and the US $200000 advertising marketing in the United States are mainly from Shanghua culture. Zou wenhuai and Li Xiaolong only listen to such arrangements, and their interests are expanding, so they all try their best to cooperate.
In this way, the global Premiere of "fight between the dragon and the tiger" began in the United States.
