Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 2155 Restricted Shipping
Smith spread his hands and said with a helpless expression, "Where can I find people who understand military affairs to train them?"

Niu Xiaoqiang thought for a while and came up with an idea: "A person I know can help you find a military instructor. When the time comes, I will call him directly and ask him to find some people to help you train these armed personnel."

Niu Xiaoqiang was talking about Luo Hua. Since Luo Hua's family is in the arms business, it is inevitable that they will meet with some military personnel. It is not a problem for her to help find a few retired soldiers to serve as instructors.

After hearing this, Smith thanked him again and again, and kept saying that this army also has Niu Xiaoqiang's shares. In the future, as long as Niu Xiaoqiang needs it, he can mobilize this army to help him at any time.

Niu Xiaoqiang just responded with a few words casually, thinking to himself: I only cooperate with you in Africa, do you have any conflicts of interest with other people, is it necessary to mobilize the army?
While the two were talking, the off-road vehicle had already arrived in front of Zhang Guangmao and others. After Niu Xiaoqiang got off the vehicle, he found that the ground in front of him was full of crack-like gaps. Zhang Guangmao was leading several technicians to take samples from the cracks.

Seeing Niu Xiaoqiang coming, Zhang Guangmao immediately pulled him aside excitedly: "Xiaoqiang, we really hit the jackpot this time. According to experts' speculation, the reserves of this oil field are definitely not low, and there are still some It is a shallow oil field that is relatively easy to exploit, and it only needs a small amount of capital and equipment to pump oil out of the ground and sell it for money!"

The mining cost of shallow oil fields is indeed relatively low. If the mining cost is low, crude oil can be sold at a low price, and the crude oil can be realized at the fastest speed.

Of course, this is just the thinking of ordinary people. Niu Xiaoqiang is not prepared to fight price wars with other oil companies, because it is not in his interest.

Today's international crude oil prices are somewhat low, and the more crude oil you sell now, the more you will suffer.Niu Xiaoqiang is ready to manage this oil field well and ship according to certain restrictions. His requirements are not high, as long as he can earn [-] million US dollars a year.

Next, Niu Xiaoqiang will pay close attention to the trend of the international crude oil market. Once he finds signs of rising crude oil prices, he will immediately expand the scale of production, sell crude oil crazily, and make a fortune for him.

This plan requires a certain amount of patience, and Niu Xiaoqiang's patience must be enough, but Zhang Guangmao and Smith may not be of one mind with him.

Zhang Guangmao needs to make achievements as soon as possible. If the profit is less, he will lose his face, and he may even be made things difficult and slandered by some people.Although Smith is not under the pressure of political achievements, he still needs to spend a lot of money. The cost of feeding an army alone is enough for him to drink a pot, so it is difficult for him to suppress the temptation to sell a large number of crude oil to realize cash .Therefore, it may not be so easy to persuade the two of them to support their own ideas.

Niu Xiaoqiang thought for a while, then called Smith over, and said seriously: "You two, the international crude oil price is a bit low now, if we ship in large quantities now, the more we ship, the greater our losses. I think we should take a gamble and bet on the trend of international crude oil prices. We will ship a small amount in the early stage and earn less money every year. After the international crude oil price rises, we will expand our shipments and earn a lot of money. I don’t know. What do you two think?"

Zhang Guangmao couldn't help being taken aback when he heard this, and then said, "Xiaoqiang, how long do you think it will take for international crude oil prices to rise?"

Niu Xiaoqiang shook his head slightly: "It's not sure yet, but according to my estimation, it won't rise within at least two or three years."

Zhang Guangmao smiled wryly when he heard the words: "Xiaoqiang, it's not that uncle doesn't support you, there's really no way to support you. After two or three years, I'm still talking about whether I'm still in the Ministry of Petroleum. Uncle can't keep so much oil in his pocket. Then wait for the successor to pick this big peach?"

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled and looked at Smith: "Smith, what do you think?"

Smith showed a embarrassed look: "Mr. Niu, I also have difficulties. Although you have given me a lot of feasible suggestions just now, no one knows what will happen in the future. In case I encounter a strong enemy that I cannot deal with , All my properties here are definitely not going to be kept, so from my personal point of view, instead of selling crude oil and waiting for the price to rise, it is better to take advantage of the opportunity to ship a large amount of oil and make enough money.”

Niu Xiaoqiang continued to smile, turned his head and said to Zhang Guangmao: "Uncle Zhang, I can understand your difficulties. As the head of the Ministry of Petroleum, if you can't make outstanding achievements, it must be inappropriate, otherwise , let's work it out, I will provide you with 20.00 million US dollars of funds every year, this money is enough for you to pay for business, in return, you need to gradually transfer the shares of this oil field to me in batches, the Ministry of Petroleum owns this piece in total 5.00% of the shares in the oil field, we can sign an agreement to reduce the shares held by the Ministry of Petroleum to [-]% before you leave the Ministry of Petroleum, this should not be difficult to operate, right?"

Niu Xiaoqiang's proposal fully considered Zhang Guangmao's situation, and also took into account practical factors.

Three hundred million U.S. dollars is not a small amount. If the international crude oil price is very low, even if the oilfields are producing at full capacity, it is difficult to say whether the Ministry of Petroleum can get a profit of three hundred million U.S. dollars every year.Niu Xiaoqiang's operation can be regarded as leaving room for Zhang Guangmao to maneuver, and will not let him bear the reputation of being a thief.

Even if the Ministry of Petroleum can get more than [-] million US dollars in profits from the oil field after running at full capacity, Niu Xiaoqiang can also reduce production capacity through other methods.For example, let Smith play a scene and shoot a few shots on the periphery of the oil field.In this way, Zhang Guangmao can use "this place is not safe and cannot continue to expand production capacity" as an excuse.

After listening, Zhang Guangmao thought for a while and nodded in agreement: "This is fine, but you will have to bear tremendous pressure in this way. Are you sure the Charles Consortium can agree?"

Niu Xiaoqiang has always participated in this project in the name of the Charles Consortium. Since he is the representative of the Charles Consortium, of course he must consider the investment and income of the consortium.

If the consortium continues to invest a lot of money, but does not make any profits, what will the boss of the consortium think?If they fail, they will replace Niu Xiaoqiang and appoint another person to take charge of the project.

Of course, this is only what outsiders have learned. In fact, Niu Xiaoqiang is the behind-the-scenes boss of the Charles Consortium. He can do whatever he wants, and no one else can interfere.
