Chapter 105 The largest hand in history

Li Mo really wants to punch Thomas in the face. This guy is still thinking about the gold mine! Doesn't he know that the things contained in these lands are dozens of times and hundreds of times larger than gold mines?

"Here, there are the richest oil resources!" Li Mo pointed to the Gulf of Mexico, and then slowly moved his fingers to western Australia and the Middle East. And here, there is a wealth of iron ore, a lot of gold and an oil field comparable to Texas.

Dizzy, completely fainted!

"But I have already bought gold and iron ore!" Master Li is complacent. He didn't lie. Since the end of the last auction, he has sent all the Canadian prospectors to western Australia. So far, he has found several important mines, especially the most important iron ore! However, limited to funds, the land and mining rights can only be bought, but the construction has officially started.

What we need to do now is to send Thomas over and use his British identity as a cover to officially start work. That's one of the most attractive places in the Asia-Pacific region. How can it be cheaper for others?

Puff, Thomas fell down, shivered and pointed to Master Li, and squeezed out only two words for a long time: "Shameless!"

"Shameless! There is something more shameless!" Li Mo pointed to Kuwait and shouted, "As for here, it will be a miracle!" Because there is oil here, which accounts for half of the world's total reserves!"

Thomas, who had just returned from Chile, was dizzy by the miraculous reserves of the three major copper mines. When he heard that the Australian gold mine was gone again, his eyes were blackened with anger, but he didn't wait for the attack. He heard that 50% of the world's total oil reserves! Suddenly, it was dark in front of my eyes, and I fell down directly!

50% of the world's total oil reserves! What is this concept?

Even if he does nothing, as long as he inserts a pipe in these lands, he can become the richest man in the world! Even the Queen of England can't compare with him!

Oh, no! He is the second richest man! Naturally, the first super-rich man is Master Li, who accounts for 60% of the shares!

"But." George was not scared by the map, but was a little surprised when he remembered what Li Mo had just said: "Li, does this have anything to do with the annexation of Rockefeller's standard oil company?"

"Yes! Of course there is!" Master Li, who has also been infected by Thomas, stood on his chair and pointed excitedly to the map and shouted, "Think about it, if we announce the reserves of the Gulf of Mexico and then inject the oil field into the shares of East Texas Petroleum Company, how much will Rockefeller cost to maintain the original shares?"

Thomas began to break his fingers! I despise him. He is a millionaire. I don't know the account yet! George, who seemed to have been prepared in this regard for a long time, said after thinking about it, "You need to take out about 500 million US dollars in cash, and you also need to inject capital into all the refineries under your name!"

"Five..., 500 million dollars!" Thomas had stammered, and Li Mo decided to ignore him and continue to discuss with George: "So do you think Rockefeller may take out $500 million? And all the refineries under the name should be taken out.

George shook his head decisively. Not to mention that Rockefeller could not afford $500 million at this time. Even if he could take it out, he could not do that!

"That's right!" Li Mo patted the table and said, "Since Rockefeller can't spend so much money, he can only watch his shares in East Texas Oil Company shrink, so that we can completely control the two major oil fields in the United States!"

Li Mo became more and more excited: "Then, we can use the oil field as collateral to build our own refinery, so that we can completely break Rockefeller's monopoly. Think about it, when he finds that the two largest oil fields in the United States are out of control, and there is a larger refining in the world than him. What will he do when he is an oil trust?

"What will you do?" George doesn't know, and Thomas doesn't know, but one thing is certain, that is, Rockefeller is completely finished! If someone offers him an offer at this time, he will definitely be very willing.

"No, he won't sit and wait to die, and he won't be willing to give up his shares in East Texas Oil Company, so he will definitely find someone." Li Mo certainly drew a few strokes unconsciously on the white paper and continued, "But in the United States, no one can take out hundreds of millions at once, even if he unites with Morgan!" So he will definitely go to Europe for help!"

"Europe! Who are you asking for?" George and Thomas swallowed, and their appetites were suddenly suspended. Who else can take out so much money? Will Rockefeller give up his American identity to find the Queen?

"Queen? Is it amazing?!" Li Mo sneered and didn't continue. The other day, he bought the gold mine he threw at the New York auction. The person standing behind Morgan and Rockefeller would not be willing to be swallowed up like this!

Then let's have an invisible dark war!

Master Li clenched his fist hard, and his heart seemed to be suddenly twitched by something. Thinking that this suddenly rising idea might make him stand on the opposite side of the family, he couldn't help but soar his adrenaline!

But if you want to ** the United States, you can never avoid him! In that case, it's better to take advantage of it now! Take advantage of the annexation of Rockefeller Standard Oil Company to consume more of his blood!

In this era, no one knows how much wealth is buried in the dry desert of the Middle East. As long as the technology matures in a few years, the young master will make a dreadnought and aircraft carrier, which can ensure the safety of the route from the Gulf region to the South China Sea and then the Far East. Then the whole world must look at Master Li's face!

Seeing that Li Mo didn't say anything, George thought he was thinking about this bold idea and raised another concern: "Li, there is still a big problem. Although the oil field has been found in the shallow sea area you circled, the average water depth there is 50 meters. It is impossible for us to develop it on a large scale. Even if the reserves are announced, I'm afraid Rockefeller is not too nervous, is he?"

"Moreover, according to the current oil consumption, even if we extract it, no one will buy it! It can only lower the price in disguise. George raised his last question.

Of course, Li Mo can't say that his Li's power laboratory has made rapid progress on the internal combustion engine after Diesel's desperate arrival in Hawaii, and he can't tell them that he has just arranged someone to build a car factory. He simply said, "Believe me, in three years at most, the oil consumption will be higher than now. It's increasing several times or even dozens of times!"

"Dozens of times?"

Without waiting for Thomas and George to react, Master Li said, "As for the exploitation of oil at sea, it is also very simple."

Li Mo racked his brains and didn't think about when he would get into the platform, but it was not difficult for Master Li. He quickly spread out a piece of white paper and quickly drew a big ship with a big hole in the middle, four directions, and strange.

"You can use this." Li Mo looked at his graffiti proudly and explained excitedly, "This is a kind of oil exploration ship I designed. The speed does not need to be too fast. It is vacated in the middle to install a drilling and use seawater as a load. When it reaches the sea area, the silo begins to inject water, making the ship half sink into the water. In this way, even if the wind and waves are strong, it will not It affects normal mining.

"For transportation, you can use a specially designed tanker and hand it over to my Pacific Freight Company!"

"Despise! Don't forget to pick vegetables in your bowl at any time!" Thomas raised his middle finger.

Looking at the world's first offshore oil drilling platform, both of them had bright eyes and almost rushed directly on the drawings. With this kind of ship, the development of the oil field in the shallow water area of the Gulf of Mexico is just around the corner!

After a few days of rest, George was the first to help it. With the sketch drawn by Li Mo, he immediately rushed to the United States to find someone to see if it could be designed. Thomas didn't even want his wife. He took the cruise ship of the Pacific Shipping Company and took the map of Master Li to the three places.

After waiting for George's reply, Thomas took the lead in the telegram. Because of his British identity and the world's most famous gold master, the Governor of Australia was so happy that he circled most of the western region and hoped that he could turn decay into magic and promote the development of western Australia.

Riyadh and Kuwait are simpler. If the Rashid family wants to maintain their rule, they must look at the faces of the British. What's more, they don't care much about oil. There are only two or three small oil wells in the huge Middle East at this moment, so under Thomas's golden dollar offensive, the British political axe soon helped him get the whole region. In the end, he even directly acquired the small oil wells of the land lease.

The new Huanya Oil Company was finally established at the end of 1893. The super oil trust, which controlled Kuwait, western Australia, and even covered almost the entire later Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, began to emerge, and because it was registered in Hawaii and its business scope was outside the United States, so Even if the trust bill appears in the United States a few years later, there is nothing he can do about it.

However, before making a huge profit, Li Mo had to pay a huge amount of 10 million pounds, which could not be paid from the State Council. The six million pounds they got had spent almost half of it after expanding the port and investing in infrastructure.

So he had to take out the last copper plate from the private small vault with extreme pain, but this also means that Huanya Oil will be his private investment, plus Thomas's 10 million, a total of 20 million pounds as the initial investment, and according to the calculation of the three people, if it is to fully achieve Li Mo's idea, it can cover the world. The total investment of the oil empire needs to reach 200 million pounds!

200 million pounds in 1893, not to mention individuals, even the richest European countries, it is very difficult to take it out at once. If Li Mo wants to collect the money, unless he sells all the gold and jewelry he currently has, this is certainly unacceptable. Of.

Fortunately, the investment is a stage name, and the initial construction of 20 million yuan has been completed.

Cindy, who originally wanted to leave with Thomas, also chose to stay after receiving Thomas's assurance that she would settle in Hawaii, but the beautiful woman was not idle. She asked Li Mo to set up a Hawaiian pharmaceutical factory. In her words, she wanted to produce aspirin as soon as possible so that everyone could Enjoy the good news brought by new drugs.

The idea is great, but someone rushed directly to Cindy's office and said, "Dear Cindy, can you add some useless and harmless ingredients to the ingredients? For example, flour, sugar, honey or vitamins?

"Li, do you know? You are the most cunning and cunning bad guy I have ever seen!" Cindy kicked Master Li out of the office.
