Today's third update, exhausted bird! Please recommend and replenish the blood!!

With ten distant drilling wells drilling oil at the same time in a week, not only Li Mo, but also Du Dazhuang knew that they had succeeded!
Thomas was even more unbearable. He lay on the ground, directly hugged Master Li's small thighs, and asked to learn that spell. For this, he would rather give up one percent of his shares!
1%!
Fortunately, this guy really wanted to come out. He was not only stingy at home, but also shameless. The angry Young Master Li kicked him away directly.
"Yuanshou, Zhang Shun, you two immediately contacted all the newspapers you can find and told them that a large oil well was found here, and the reserves are... Five hundred million tons! Arrange reporters to come here for on-site shooting. If you don't want to come, put money into them!"
"Five hundred million...?" Chen Ping opened his mouth and nodded and said, "Yes!"
"Da Zhuang, you take someone to watch the drilling and let those technicians test the thickness of the oil layer first!"
Although he didn't know what the oil layer was, the young master's words were orders. Du Dazhuang shouted and rushed out of the room.
Seeing Zhang Shun, Chen Ping and Du Dazhuang ran out one after another. Thomas also understood that Li Mo was assigning tasks. He rushed to him and pointed to his nose and said, "Li, and me! What should I do now?"
Thomas has been completely conquered by Li Mo. From looking for a big gold mine to discovering oil now, this young and terrible teenager just scratched the map a few times with his fingers. God, this thing called magic is really amazing. What a magical country!
Looking at Thomas, who looked like a straw, Li Mo laughed: "Dear Thomas, don't you think you should take a shower now, then get a haircut and buy some decent clothes?"
Thomas was full of black lines and a black face: "Li, if you think I'm in the way here, just say it. Stop fooling with me, okay?"
"Playing with you? Haha..." ..." Li Mo laughed and said, "Look at you. If you are asked to contact Rockefeller now, what will he think of you? Is it a beggar? Still a porter!"
After listening to Li Mo's words, Thomas's eyes lit up and he looked at himself again. These days were sleepless and indeed a little sloppy, so he quickly said, "I know. I'm going to take a shower now!"
"Remember! Don't forget to contact Standard Oil Company after taking a shower. Looking at Thomas's back, Li Mo shouted.
"I see!" Thomas didn't look back,

"Do you know? The big oil field found in East Texas!"
"Yes, it's a miracle! The miracle of 3.5 billion barrels!"
"East Texas, the place where miracles were born!"
"Thomas Mining Company has found the largest oil field in the United States!"
As newspapers spread among people, in just one week, from Wall Street to remote western mines, from bustling cities along the Atlantic coast to emerging western towns, everyone is talking about this discovery.
And Thomas stood by the oil well and pointed to the black ** photo flowing out of the well, which also made him the most eye-catching figure in the United States.
Countless journalists, countless businessmen who are ready to get a piece of the pie, and those hound-like Wall Street bankers are about to flatten this small office. Many of them even rushed directly into the oil field, hoping to see this great discovery with their own eyes!
Chen Ping and Li Mo stood behind the gap in the open door, watching Thomas talking to the reporter, looking at the dazzling light in the room, and smiling.
The momentum was successful, but the most important people of Rockefeller Standard Oil Company did not appear unexpectedly, as if they had not seen the news!
Will Rockefeller not know about such big news? This is impossible! Because now even a child will know that a large oil field has been found in East Texas.
"Young master? Could it be that the publicity is too much? Did you scare Rockefeller so much that he didn't dare to come? Thinking of the amazing hundreds of millions of tons of reserves that Li Mo asked them to distribute, Chen Ping was a little worried.
"Don't come? Is it possible!" Li Mo raised the corners of his mouth slightly, frowned, and suddenly asked, "Yuanshou, if you were Rockefeller, you heard that there was a super oil field here, but you mastered the most important refining and processing link in the oil industry and almost strangled the throat of the oil field, what would you do?"
Chen Ping thought for a moment: "I will send someone to check whether there is such a large reserve first, and at the same time send someone to contact Thomas to check his psychological price, but at this time, it is obviously not worth taking action immediately, because at this moment the oil field is on the top of the wave, and they will feel that Thomas will definitely open his mouth all day. What's more, after mastering the processing process, it's okay to have so much and so on!"
Li Mo nodded and asked, "Don't you think that's the case now? Are there obviously a lot of people visiting the oil well these days?
Chen Ping understood in an eye and frowned: "Young master, do you want to restrict them?"
Li Mo shook his head with a smile: "No, the restriction will make people feel that we have ghosts. Since they want to see it, you might as well let them see it generously. Go and tell Thomas and let him pretend that he didn't mean to say it, saying that Morgan and other big companies are interested in here, and sent people to check it, and at the same time let Thomas Increase efforts to order mining equipment, and at the same time release the wind, that is to say, they are also ready to order oil refining equipment from the UK!"
"Yes." Chen Ping quickly understood what Li Mo meant. Since Rockefeller wanted to delay, he forced them to come out and didn't give them any time!
Sure enough, as Thomas kept releasing big companies to cooperate and publicly announcing to the media that he would order a large number of oil refining equipment from the UK, Rockefeller finally couldn't sit still.
Because Rockefeller knows that if Thomas really does this, and the reserves of the East Texas oil fields are not lying, then with the support of the British political axe, an organization comparable to its own oil trust will soon appear. In that case, it will be a disaster for him, and the United States has not refused at this time. With the strength of Britain, even if I can invite the political axe to come forward, I'm afraid it won't help.
So under his personal intervention, he thought that he had mastered the oil processing link and had enough patience to consume, and even waited for several years for the standard oil company to send negotiators overnight.
Finally, it was this day, but when Thomas and Chen Pimpan, who appeared at the negotiating table as Thomas's assistant, were on the huge oil trust, they found that the chips in their hands were so small that the arrogant standard oil company negotiators only offered five million dollars and full acquisition. Pieces.
Five million US dollars? Isn't this a joke?!
"Five million, this is the final price!" Chen Ping sighed. He was still a little uncomfortable when he participated in this kind of business negotiation for the first time, but this kind of battle, which was not a battlefield at all, made him feel very exciting, but this time, he had a little less chips in his hand.
"Li, why don't we do it ourselves? I believe that we only need to pay half of the shares at most, and all the oil is ours!" Thomas shouted fiercely. According to what he said, it's better to fake it and pay part of the shares, so that he wants to borrow money from Britain and establish his own oil trust.
But Li Mo quickly rejected Thomas's suggestion. Although he also knew that the United States did not have the ability to challenge the British Empire at this time, as time went by, sooner or later, the Americans would sooner or later catch up with the aging Britain, and directly confront a super chaebol who could influence the direction of the political axe policy. Obviously, it was not That's a good idea, not to mention that this is the opponent's home court!
Looking at the depressed and impatient people, Li Mo was much more relaxed: "What's wrong, are you in a hurry? It's just a Rockefeller, which has forced you to this extent. What if you meet someone more powerful than him in the future, or directly face the state organization? Do you give up easily?
"But we don't have any chips!" Thomas spread out his hands and was a little depressed.
"No, there is another chip." Li Mo's eyes flashed coldly: "Thomas, you write a letter to the queen immediately, saying that you want to give this super oil field to her as a life gift!"
"What!" Thomas trembled and jumped up excitedly. Even Chen Ping looked puzzled and looked at Li Mo suspiciously.
"Don't be excited, it's not true." Li Mo motioned Thomas to sit down before continuing, "After writing, give the letter to Rockefeller's people and tell them that if there is no result within ten days, the letter will be sent immediately. If we can't get it, we would rather give it to the queen than accept such a low-level insult."
Thomas's eyes turned black when he heard Li Mo's words. This bastard, the devil, actually threatened his opponent with the queen. If he really did this, would the Admiralty pursue himself with a warship all over the world?
But Thomas also thinks it's a good idea. After all, the Queen is not a British political axe. Even if the President of the United States comes forward, she can't stop the oil fields as a life gift.
Sure enough, in the negotiations the next day, Thomas showed the rigidity, stubbornness and even arrogance of a citizen of the British Empire. When he finally showed the letter to the Queen, everyone was stunned, especially when the content of the letter reached Rockefeller's ears, and he even said swearing.
Although he also knew that this was Thomas's means, he did not dare to gamble. It was very simple, because those damn British had such a tradition. Captain Drake in 1573 was the best evidence that that guy actually got all his life. All the wealth was handed over to the Queen of England and won the aristocratic title.
And what's more troublesome for him is that the Queen of England does not fully represent the British political axe. If she gets the oil field and Thomas and they don't lie about the oil field reserves, then even if he can invite the American political axe to come forward, he can't stop the Queen from dealing with her private property. In that case, it will cause war. !
This damn Englishman!
Under Rockefeller's curse, the negotiations began again. This time, the stubborn Englishman Thomas turned into a cunning Jewish businessman, little by little, and the bags of the Standard Oil Company took out the interests that had been swallowed by them.
In the end, after three weeks of difficult negotiations, Standard Oil agreed to pay 30 million US dollars at a time to buy a stake in the East Texas Oilfield, while they and Thomas Mining Company formed the East Texas Oil Company.
In order to show sincerity, Standard Oil will transfer cash to Thomas's designated account within ten days. At the same time, in order to ensure that the oil reserves are artificially exaggerated and cause danger, Standard Oil will send a huge exploration team to calculate the oilfield reserves in the fastest time, and stipulate that if the final reserves are small For 1.5 billion barrels, or about 220 million tons, the shares held by Thomas Mining Company will automatically belong to Rockefeller.
Of course, Thomas was originally opposed to the last one, but was stopped by Li Mo, because Li Mo believed that the reserves here would never be less than 300 million tons. Although he did not know where Li Mo's confidence came from, Thomas, who had seen his magical golden finger, finally believed him. What's more, it is a great achievement for him to be able to dig out 40% of the shares from Rockefeller's mouth.
Seven days later, when 30 million US dollars were transferred to the account of Thomas's private treasury as desired, everyone jumped up and looked at Master Li, who was surrounded by everyone and almost hugged and strangled to death. Everyone seemed to be a dream, as if it had been a dream in the past few months.
And Li Mo also realized his wish to increase the funds dozens of times in a short time in the eyes of everyone's astonishment and even fear, and truly became the leader of this group.
