Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 1883 Tripartite Cooperation Plan
Firstly, Smith is a person who repays his gratitude; secondly, his personal strength is not enough to monopolize this piece of fat; thirdly, their family's funds are not sufficient enough to afford all the expenses for the construction of oil pipelines and oil exploration and production. After thinking about it, Smith finally called Niu Xiaoqiang, wanting to cooperate with Niu Xiaoqiang.

Niu Xiaoqiang introduced Smith to Zhang Guangmao as a favor. Of course, he himself will contribute to this cooperation plan in the name of the Charles Foundation, and only after earning money can he continue to support the expansion plan of the World Wide Web.

The phone rang for a while before it was connected, and Smith's slightly lazy voice came from the other end: "Who is it?"

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled and said, "I am Niu Xiaoqiang."

With a bang, Smith seemed to drop something to the ground.He hurriedly corrected his attitude, and asked in a surprised tone: "Mr. Niu, are you sure you want to cooperate with me?"

Niu Xiaoqiang hummed: "I just returned to China and checked the accounts. I feel that I have enough funds on hand. I can cooperate with you to develop oil fields, but—"

Niu Xiaoqiang paused for a moment when he said this, and Smith's originally surprised mood suddenly became a little uneasy, he hesitated and asked, "But what?"

Niu Xiaoqiang chuckled, and continued, "However, neither of us know much about related technologies. Personally, I think it's safer to find a third-party cooperation. This can not only save costs, but also speed up the development. What do you think?"

It was not the first time for Smith to deal with Niu Xiaoqiang. He knew Niu Xiaoqiang's character very well. Niu Xiaoqiang's question was not asking for his opinion, but had already made a decision, and he just informed himself.

He nodded quickly: "I believe in your judgment and vision. I will do what you say. Tell me, how can we cooperate?"

Niu Xiaoqiang said with a smile: "Mr. Smith is really a straightforward person. Since you are so straightforward, then I will not go around in circles with you. My cooperation plan is like this. You will provide the exploration area and be responsible for the relevant logistics support. , I will raise all the expenses required for this project, and a third party will be responsible for providing technology, equipment and personnel. After the completion of the project, the three of us will share the profits according to a certain ratio. Do you think this plan is feasible?"

Smith hummed first, and said, "I agree with your plan in principle, as long as it doesn't make me suffer."

He hesitated for a while when he said this, and then continued: "But I am a little worried about security issues. The situation here is not very safe. Although I have formed a private armed force and successfully married the local chief, But my overall strength here is not too strong. There are several people who are stronger than me. Once the matter of our cooperation in the development of oil fields is announced, other people will definitely be jealous. If this problem is not resolved, I am afraid that this project will not be able to continue.”

This is the biggest stone in Smith's heart. Although he regained his vitality with the help of Niu Xiaoqiang, and even got better than before, his family's foundation was weaker than others at the beginning. Powerful local forces.

Everyone knows the profits of the oil field. Once the news of Smith cooperating with others to develop the oil field spreads, people will definitely be jealous. With his current strength, it is impossible to protect the interests of the oil field.

The reason why Smith took the initiative to contact Niu Xiaoqiang was because he also had the idea of ​​asking Niu Xiaoqiang to help him.Although he doesn't know much about Niu Xiaoqiang's real situation in the United States, he can infer from what the two said when they met last time that Niu Xiaoqiang still has some energy in the United States.

At least one thing can be confirmed, Niu Xiaoqiang has a good relationship with the middle and senior managers of Citibank, otherwise he would not be able to let Citibank complete his loan procedures in such a short period of time.

The influence of the United States in the world is very huge. Although Citibank has no specific business in Africa, it has a very large network of relationships and can often speak for itself.

If I can get Citibank to say a few words for me through Niu Xiaoqiang's relationship, other forces may not act rashly.

Niu Xiaoqiang knew what Smith was really thinking as soon as he heard it. He laughed and said very relaxedly: "Smith, you don't need to worry about this matter. If someone wants to bully others, I can help you get back the place at any time. In addition, I have a suggestion for you. From now on, you immediately spend a lot of money to expand your own armed forces and closely protect your own safety. As long as you don’t have an accident, no one else will try to snatch a gallon of crude oil from us .”

Smith felt relieved when he heard this, he smiled and said thank you, and then asked another question: "Last time I told you that there is basically no transportation network in that area, if a big oil field is really discovered , the best way is to build an oil pipeline to transport crude oil out. The oil pipeline needs to pass through the territory of several other forces. If possible, I think we should first win over these forces. I don’t know much about it. It's easy to operate, I'm not afraid of your jokes, people won't buy my account at all, if you can find enough important people to come forward, those forces will not mess around, because they themselves are also involved in international energy trade, and behind them are all There are shadows of international giants, they still have to listen to what the big shots say, my ability is not enough, this matter can only be left to you."

Niu Xiaoqiang hummed: "Fax me the relevant information of these forces later, I will analyze it carefully, and then prescribe the right medicine. If you have no other questions, let's meet again some time and discuss cooperation Let's sign the agreement."

Smith nodded immediately: "I have no other questions. If you have made arrangements, you can call me at any time. I will go to you to sign the contract, so as not to trouble you to travel all the way to Africa. I promise to be on call."

Niu Xiaoqiang thought about it and felt that as a middleman, he should go to Africa to show his face and help Zhang Guangmao and Smith establish a good cooperative relationship.If you don't come forward in person, if something goes wrong between the two of you, it will be more troublesome to deal with it.

He thought of this and said: "This time I will personally lead the team to Africa. I don't need you to come to me. I will bring a third-party partner to go there. It can also help you deal with potential threats from other forces.”
