Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1700, You can also be a big dog in the future

"You kid came to me on your own initiative, you must have no good intentions."

Zhang Mao looked at Liu Jin, thought for a while and said.

"Old Zhang, what you said is like when I lied to you."

Liu Jin was speechless all of a sudden, why did this old Zhang become more and more confused as he lived, and even said that I had no good intentions.

"This Persia lied to me, and caused me to invest tens of millions of taels of silver in it. Now that this matter is mentioned, I am almost making a joke of the whole capital."

"I can be regarded as a shrewd person for the rest of my life, and I never wanted to stumble on this land."

Zhang Mao looked at Liu Jin, as if you had tricked me, and you meant to make it up to me.

"Old Zhang, how about this, how much money you invested, it's all mine, how about giving me the colony of the Persian Gulf?"

Liu Jin has seen Zhang Mao's turning his face and denying others. He was the same old Zhang who begged and cried to show him a way to make money at the beginning, but now he just said that he cheated him.

"no way!"

"This is my inheritance for future generations, how can I just sell it like this."

"Hey, you kid, hurry up and tell the truth, what kind of treasure is there on this side of the Persian Gulf."

Zhang Mao turned his face faster than a book, Liu Jin took the initiative to find him, and mentioned the colony of the Persian Gulf, there must be something he didn't know about it.

"Old Zhang, just tell me how many shares you want to give me."

"If you don't want to cooperate with me, I'll go to Li Dongyang. I think he should be happy to cooperate with me."

Liu Jin looked at Zhang Mao, who was like an old fox, and said directly.

"Give ten million taels of silver, and I'll give you ten percent."

When Zhang Mao thought about it, once the lion opened its mouth, it would be worth [-] million silver.

"Farewell~"

"As if I hadn't been here."

When Liu Jin heard it, he got up straight away. Old Zhang, you are not kind. I knew that I didn’t need to spend 1000 million taels of silver to occupy this colony. Besides, there are many places that produce oil. There is a lot of oil on the continent, so I'm afraid there won't be any.

"Brat, brat, come back, come back~"

"We can have a good discussion."

Seeing that Liu Jin was about to leave, Zhang Mao quickly held Liu Jin back with a smile, and then said in a low voice, "Let me make some money, I have worked so hard to invest money in building a colony, and it has cost a lot of money. .”

"It's not too much to double it by a dozen times, right?"

"Old Zhang, double it more than ten times. Go and watch the sand and slowly turn it over. In my opinion, in a few years, it may be able to double it hundreds of times."

Liu Jin was speechless, and he doubled it more than ten times. If I didn't say that there is oil underground, and there is no professional exploration and mining, you will not be able to make any money in eight lifetimes.

"Okay, okay, I can't beat you, anyway, you let me occupy this land, how about it, you give five million taels of silver, and take half of the shares, is this the head office?"

Zhang Mao had no choice. Although he knew that there might be a treasure here, he couldn't find it by himself, so he could only give half of it to Liu Jin.

Who made himself incapable of discovering the treasures here? One must know that Zhang Mao had sent people to dig three feet in this colony, but nothing was found except sand.

"It's almost there."

"Let me tell you, I'm not alone, and His Royal Highness's shares are in it."

"We have established a Daming Petroleum Firm, and we will have this firm as a shareholder by then."

Only then did Liu Jin nodded in satisfaction, and then began to speak.

"Daming Petroleum Company?"

When Zhang Mao heard this, he immediately frowned and began to think.

"What kind of oil is this oil?"

"Oil in the stone? What's the use?"

Liu Jin would definitely bring the prince with him if he had a chance to make a fortune. This was not unexpected or strange at all. What was strange to him was the oil.

What exactly is this oil?
"Oil is fire oil, the dark kind."

Liu Jin replied with a smile.

"Oh, fierce fire oil."

As soon as Zhang Mao heard it, he knew it immediately. He had been in the army, so he naturally knew the necessary fire oil in the army.

"How much money can this thing make?"

"Although the fire oil burns very fiercely, it is not good for fuel because it burns too fiercely, and it burns very smelly and smokes heavily, which is not as good as whale oil."

"Aside from being used for fire attacks, it's not very useful, and it's not worth much at all."

"That's because it has not been distilled and refined. After distillation and refining, various things can be extracted from petroleum. Some of the oils are very suitable for lighting. They burn very stably and have no smoke. , and there will be no smell."

"Of course, this is not the most important use. The real biggest use is as fuel for internal combustion engines."

Liu Jin said with a smile.

"internal combustion engine?"

"What is this?"

When Zhang Mao heard it, he was puzzled again, and asked quickly.

"This is a machine newly developed by the School of Mechanical Engineering. It can replace the steam engine. The power is stronger, more stable, and the key is more convenient and convenient. It will be very useful when it is used on a large scale in the future, and it will require a lot of oil. .”

Liu Jin once again explained what an internal combustion engine is.

"So that's the case. Then, in this way, there is a lot of oil in the Persian Gulf?"

Zhang Mao seemed to understand, but he quickly grasped the key information.

"That's right, the Persian Gulf should be the place with the most oil reserves in the world. That's why I asked Mr. Zhang to occupy some colonies here in advance."

"Occupying these places is equivalent to occupying oil, and you can lie down and collect money in the future."

Liu Jinzheng nodded emphatically.

"Stinky boy, you need to pay more!"

"With such important resources, you want to take half of the shares for five million taels of silver. I'm going to lose money."

"Old Zhang, how can you, a person who promises everything, break your promise for a mere little money?"

"Hey, don't give me a high hat, you have to pay more, otherwise I won't agree."

"Old Zhang, you can't do it anymore. What you promised just now, you will turn your back on it now."

"Then I won't provide technology later. Even if you have oil, you can't buy it for a penny."

".You're a good kid. If you control me to death, I know that I can't take advantage of you."

"By the way, will this oil really make a lot of money?"

"Don't worry, take care of your old Zhang's house and just lie down and collect the cash."

"."

An hour later, Liu Jin left the British government.

"You still want to ask me to add more money, but there is no door, so I can't handle you. I'm still Liu Jin, worthy of being a time traveler."

Sitting on the four-wheeled carriage, Liu Jin was also full of smiles. Lao Zhang's side has been settled, and the next step is to deal with Li Dongyang. He also got some shares from him, and he can become a big dog in the future. to make money.

Without stopping, Liu Jin also went straight to Li Dongyang's house.

Li Dongyang was also very surprised to learn that Liu Jin came to visit him.

This Liu Jin never took the initiative to visit anyone, a person who was too lazy to die, this time the sun came out from the west, and he took the initiative to visit him.

In the living room of Li's mansion, compared with Zhang Mao's luxury, Li Dongyang's house is extremely poor. The layout of the living room is quite simple, just a few calligraphy and paintings, all drawn and written by Li Dongyang himself. The chairs are also ordinary goods, unlike the mahogany used by Zhang Mao.

"Li Gong, your house is too poor."

Liu Jin looked at Li Dongyang's house, and then at Li Dongyang's. Li Dongyang's health was getting worse day by day.

"No way, I can't make more money than you, Liu Jin."

"There are many places where money is used at home. Anyway, I am getting older, so I can save as much as I can on food and clothing. Silver should be used wisely."

Li Dongyang replied with a smile.

Liu Jin also knows about his situation. The Li family itself is not a wealthy family. Li Zhaofan is also building a colony on the Persian Gulf, and now he is going to Siberia with Liu Jian's family to hunt for treasures. Naturally, money is tight very.

"What are you doing here this time?"

"I heard that your family has a colony in the Persian Gulf, so I wondered if I could get some shares?"

Liu Jin also didn't talk nonsense, so he spoke directly.

"Oh, are you interested in our colony in the Persian Gulf?"

When Li Dongyang heard this, he immediately regained his spirits. Liu Jin is a person who would never trade at a loss. Since he came to him and wanted to buy shares in his own colony, it means that his colony is indeed as he said at the beginning. There must be some treasure.

"Li Gong, don't talk dark words in front of Ming people. This colony of your family has great potential. I am very optimistic about it. Let's see how much of the shares I can sell and how much money I need. "

Liu Jin also started to talk with Li Dongyang in detail, of course he definitely wouldn't talk about oil first.

"Since you have already negotiated with the British Lord, the same is true for my side. Give five million taels of silver and take half of it, how about it?"

An hour later, after Li Dongyang pondered for a long time, he gritted his teeth and offered a condition.

This Liu Jin is really a cunning fox. No matter what he says, he still refuses to speak out. There is no other way, and he can only give up a part of the shares. The colony in the Middle East has really dragged the Li family down. , that is, the recent war in the Middle East, let the Li family earn some money and come back.

But here is a desert area, with sand everywhere and no water. To be honest, I really don't know what attracts people to invest in this place.

"Haha, okay, then it's settled."

When Liu Jin heard this, he immediately laughed happily. The two families have reached an agreement. From now on, they can lie down and make money, and future generations can enjoy the happiness of a big dog.

Immediately, Liu Jin also began to talk to Li Dongyang in detail.
