silent farm

Chapter 319 Identity and Power (Bao San)

Two years is not a long time, but the small town of Obidos has undergone earth-shaking changes.

In the past two years, Obidos first built the first modern land route to the outside world.The end of the road is on the other side of the town of Siparu, passing through Aurihimina along the way.

This four-lane expressway was built by a construction company from Huaxia, and it took a year and a half to complete.

With this road, the products of Silent Farm can be continuously transported to this new city whose area has doubled.

Several large industrial projects have multiplied the city's population several times.A large pharmaceutical production plant, a large Brazilian chestnut processing plant, and a sugar refinery have all started production.In addition, a large number of workers are constantly expanding the city's port.And in the northern part of the city, there is a factory that is the envy of other cities.

A crude oil producer that is said to have a production capacity of 6000 million tons.

More than a year ago, Huaxia suddenly announced the success of man-made oil production.Immediately afterwards, the United States and Brazil announced that they would join artificial oil production projects.

At this time, people realized that the key to artificial oil production lies in Silent Farm.

It can be said that Li Sheng's plan has been implemented quite well.He reached an agreement with the Huaxia government two years ago.He supplied the bacteria and provided the technology to allow Huaxia to produce its own crude oil.The price of bacteria is not very expensive.Li Sheng didn't ask for shares or anything like that, he just sold the bacteria directly.

There is no way to bypass the United States for such things that can affect the world.So after Huaxia started to produce oil, Li Sheng and Huaxia waited until the United States made a request.Li Sheng agreed to also sell the bacteria to the United States for production by their company.

If Li Sheng was alone, he would definitely not be able to withstand the pressure from the United States.But it's completely different with Huaxia.Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents. The United States is no longer the domineering United States it used to be.At least it is no longer facing Huaxia.So unless the United States wants to fight a nuclear war with China, you will die and I will die.Otherwise, no matter what he thinks in his heart, Li Sheng can only continue to control the core of the artificial crude oil production technology.

The two countries negotiated an agreement.Li Sheng will provide an equal amount of bacteria to both.According to the experimental results, each of the two can probably use those bacteria to produce 5000 million tons of crude oil.

And Li Sheng can't leave Brazil alone.Li Sheng cooperated with the Qatar Royal Assets Management Committee and Ali to cooperate in an artificial oil production project with a production capacity of 2000 million tons in Brazil.

In this project, Li Sheng invested 120 billion US dollars, accounting for 25% of the shares, while Brazil provided the land, reduced and exempted oil export taxes, and guaranteed the safety of the project, accounting for 25% of the shares.Of the other 50%, 30% is owned by Hassan and Ali owns the remaining 20%.

The project is managed by Hassan, but each shareholder has a corresponding share of sales rights to the crude oil produced.The bacteria sold by Li Sheng can be supplied at 80% of the market price.And the market price is about one hundred dollars per ton of crude oil.

After negotiations, the three countries decided to share the bacteria produced by Silent Farm with the outside world.

The two strongest countries in the world, as well as Brazil, where Li Sheng lives, all three countries provide certain protection to Li Sheng on the surface, which allows Li Sheng not to be disturbed too much.

The crude oil production project in Obidos is still under construction, but some of the giant round tanks are ready to be put into production.

Li Sheng, Ali, Hassan, and the minister in charge of energy in Brazil were all wearing hard hats and waiting more than 100 meters in front of a round tank.That round tank has been filled with enough water, has been filled with enough carbon source material, and is now being pressurized.

There is one benefit of producing oil from these tanks.That is to be able to control the quality of the oil produced.If you want light oil, control the pressure inside between nine and thirteen atmospheres, and the crude oil produced in it is mainly light oil.And [-] to [-] atmospheres, mainly heavy oil is produced.When refining oil, the cost will also drop a lot.

When the pressure inside the giant cement-and-reinforced concrete tank reaches target, they'll flip a switch that gently stirs the water inside.

Countless reporters wearing hard hats are waiting for this moment.Li Sheng and the others have already discussed that this matter should give Brazil a face, so the work of pressing the button that symbolizes the official start of the project will be completed by the Brazilian minister who came to participate in the ceremony.

When the button was pressed, Li Sheng's eyes turned white from a flash of light.But he still persisted to the end with a smile.

After a series of celebrations, Li Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.The matter of artificial oil production has finally come to an end.Now that China, the United States and Brazil are producing, even if he is the target of public criticism, he will not be under too much pressure.

Although he gave up most of the benefits, he couldn't hold these benefits at all.Like now, although he must earn much less than all his own production.But the victory lies in stability.

At night after the celebration, Li Sheng did not leave that night, but lived in a manor Hassan built in this city.

Hassan and Ali are also very happy with the commissioning of this project.

Although this project will harm the interests of the country, for example, the current international oil price is suppressed at the price fluctuation of [-] US dollars per barrel-this is because the United States and China have deliberately cooperated with OPEC countries to ensure the competitiveness of this project.At the same time, there is also suppression of Mao Xiong, which is currently the world's largest oil producer.According to this oil price, Mao Xiongguo, which has extremely high mining costs, can't make much money from oil.

The oil price is much lower than last year.But the Middle East countries still have a lot of profits, and they can also get a lot of profits in this project.So it is still acceptable in all aspects.

Hassan is very optimistic about this project.Although oil will not be used as the main energy source for more than 30 years.But it was a steady stream of money for the next 30 years.He was very excited about this, and even made a move that did not conform to the Arab code of conduct.

"For a better tomorrow!" Hassan raised his glass.

Both Li Sheng and Ali were taken aback.Because the Arabs don't make a toast-although they will be drinking some wine secretly.

However, in this occasion where there were no outsiders, they were a little more presumptuous and no one said anything.

After the celebration, Hassan said with a smile: "I think this is a memorable day for us."

"Yes, the biggest result of our cooperation has finally come out." Ali also said with a smile.

His investment this time is entirely his own behavior.So the benefit is also his personal.As long as the project is fully put into production, he will be able to have more than 2000 million tons of crude oil sales quota.After excluding the cost, the profit after the sale of these crude oil belongs to him.This share is at least twenty times his domestic share.And he is an individual.

Li Sheng was not too excited. Although he could have the right to sell 700 million tons of crude oil in this project, his income from this project did not arouse his excitement.

As long as the crude oil production capacity of the three countries reaches the limit, he can obtain a net income of nearly 400 billion a year.In the future, with the sale of pasture on the farm, he will also have an annual income of more than 200 billion U.S. dollars.

What he is more interested in is that with the continuous construction of roads to the east and the construction of several other crude oil production plants in several small cities in the lower reaches of the Amazon River, his influence will also want to extend.

Some of the farm's products also have a larger market because these projects promote urban development.

The cooperation between the three of them has immeasurable benefits.Because it cannot be measured on an economic level.Like Li Sheng, Ali and Hassan also have a certain amount of energy in Brazil.This is supported by the economy.And through the private teaching of several projects, they have also accumulated some contacts in Brazil's political circles.

Ali is probably the happiest of the three for their partnership.In these cooperations, he can not only obtain a lot of profits, but also improve his personal status in the world to a large extent.He may not be the richest man, but he is a prince, and he has a lot of wealth.

He smiled and said, "You should have also received an invitation to the Davos Forum."

Hassan smiled and said, "Yes." Although he was an active figure in the business world before, he also controlled a lot of wealth.But he is not the head of the State Assets Management Committee, but only one of its core.Therefore, although he had a little reputation in the business circle before, he never got the status he deserved.However, his status in the country has risen in this project, and this project can only be managed by him.So now he is still not the head of the State Assets Management Commission, but this time the Summer Davos Forum held in China also invited him to participate in the industry leadership group. "They invited me to the summer forum."

Li Sheng also nodded with a smile, but he was not interested in this invitation.

The Davos Forum is actually the World Economic Forum.The discussion in that forum is all about the development of the world.It is said that it has great guiding significance for the development of the world economy.

He also received an invitation letter recently, inviting Silent Farm to become a member of the foundation, but after he learned about this forum, he didn't plan to participate.First of all, Silent Farm is not a company. In addition, starting from [-], the Davos Annual Conference will pay more attention to the development of technology.It is believed that the fourth technological revolution has arrived.The focus here is on artificial intelligence.

And it is impossible for him to make any achievements in this regard.Even his biggest business is a sunset industry—oil, which only has demand for 30 years at most.

But maybe he didn't realize it. In fact, in this era, although his Silent Farm is not a business, it is very in line with the standards of Davos Forum members.Silent Farm's commercial activities can barely be considered global.At the same time, the contribution to the world is also very large. Among them, the issue of food security still depends on Silent Farm.This time Silent Farm has come up with an artificial crude oil production technology, which has a certain leading role in the development of the world.

In fact, that is his power.On the list of world power figures last year, he was on the list for the second time, but he has already ranked No.4, only among the heads of state of the three major powers in the world.The most important reason for being on the list is that he controls the food security of the world, and he also has a certain say in energy security.

Also on the list for this reason is Chen Bo.As the president of the New East Asia Seed Company, he also has enormous power over food security.
