Abel hurriedly left Southampton.

In addition to not wanting to continue to provoke Anna, he also has something to do. He is going to go to the middle of Texas and New Mexico.

Go and see his oil field.

As soon as I returned to New York, I went directly to Kennedy International Airport, boarded the plane I had prepared long ago, and set off for Texas.

On the plane.

He got another good news from David Adams, who had arrived in Texas.

California United Petroleum, their engineers, accidentally explored specific oil deposits near the oil field and discovered a copper mine with California United Petroleum owning its own mining rights and ownership.

From the time of discovery, the copper mine was discovered on the second day. But because I was not sure, David Adams and California United Petroleum did not tell Abel at the first time. After a month of various detections, millions of dollars were spent, I finally "touched" the approximate reserves... Another good news that Abel couldn't help but drive a bottle of champagne on the plane.

The total reserves of 7 million tons are estimated...

David Adams told him that this is almost a famous mineral giant, [Anti-American Resources] Super Iron ore of the same grade as the Quila Walker Copper Mine, which was only started in 2013.

Quila Walker Copper Mine is an international mineral and resource industry, a very famous event and a large mine. It was originally owned by Anglo-American Resources Corporation, with an absolute controlling 81.9% of the shares. Mitsubishi, a Japanese pirate country, owns 18.1% of the shares. However, after several years of feasibility study, the local tyrant of Peru Southern Copper Industry is still inaccessible.

The main problem is that Southern Copper not only has two mines nearby, but also monopolizes the local electricity. Unless a new power plant is built, there will be no electricity at all. And the use of water needed for mineral processing and refining is even more difficult in the local area, because the few residents around have no water to drink, so where will there be water for the factory to use?!

In addition, another problem is the problem of railway transportation. In 2013, Southern Copper had built a railway from the desert to the Pacific coast. If this mining area wants to save costs, it must also use this railway.

In the end, various compromises were made.

This world's top super copper mine, Anglo-American Resources, which originally owned more than 81 shares, ended up only 40%.

This is a bit unfair.

But there is nothing to do.

However, this copper mine of Abel has not yet been named for the same model with a content of more than 7 million tons.

California United Petroleum has undeniable ownership because it seems to be the companion mine of that super oil field.

Although it is rarely heard that oil deposits are accompanied by copper mines, it is rare, because copper mines are often only associated with large coal mines and other metal mines.

This discovery.

It is even enough to be recorded in the history of world resource development.

But the advantage is that there are benefits, David Adams said, now there is another problem.

The new super-large oil field that has not yet been named has just started infrastructure construction in the current mining area, and the construction of oil transportation routes has even been planned. This is just a problem for California United Oil itself, and there are even bigger problems outside.

The problem is that this copper mine and this oil field are surrounded by land companies from four other oil companies or mineral companies.

Simply put, there are also large copper mines in Abel's oil field. If you want to transport it out, you must pass through the land of these four companies. Unless he set up an airport on his own land and chooses to transport it air. Otherwise, this piece of land will be surrounded by four other companies and must pass through them.

It's not by the sea.

There are no large rivers.

If you want real transportation, and the number is huge, the only suitable way is to transport it by railway or oil pipeline.

"The situation is very complicated now. The area of ​​the four mining areas around us is even larger than that of us. If we take the marine transportation route, the route closest to the Atlantic coast must pass through the [Korch Industry] in the mining area. If we take the nearest railway and ready-made oil transportation route, we must pass through the Rockefeller family's mining area."

"The remaining two surround our mining area, to the north and west. One is Royal Dutch Shell, and the other is Valero Energy..."

David Adams talked directly with Abel's private jet and chatted a lot in a simple and quick way.

In fact, Abel knew about the four major mining areas surrounding their own mining areas at the beginning.

They are all private lands. Logically speaking, it is impossible for them to transport oil out without their permission.

But wealth is heart-warming and spending money to buy ways, no one should be unable to get along with money. At most, spend a little more money on transportation.

But now I didn’t expect that there is a super large copper mine with a content of more than 7 million tons behind a super large oil field. The value of this mining area is even higher. 7 million tons of copper - a copper futures price is about 7,000 to 7,500 US dollars, which is the difference in content and quality, as well as the different prices of major futures trading banks.

Even if the price of 7,000 US dollars per ton is calculated based on the lowest price of 7,000 US dollars per ton and the price of 7 million tons of copper is not calculated, the cost of mining, transportation and subsequent operation will be calculated.

The value of this copper mine exceeds 49 billion US dollars. If you deduct various expenses, you can earn at least 30 billion US dollars.

But there is often another surprise for copper ores, especially this large copper ore!

When Abel contemplates.

David Adams told him: "It is well known in the industry that if it is an iron ore ore, there are often no surprises. But if it is a large coal or copper ore, there are often some surprises, especially super-large copper ore!"

"What surprise?" Abel, who was still a novice, asked curiously.

"Accompanimental ore. Petroleum mines will be accompanied by copper ore, which is very incredible. But copper ore, large copper ore, is often accompanied by some precious metal ore, such as gold, silver or platinum, etc." David Adams said affirmatively.

"There is a radar response that surprised us in this regard. This shows that there are good quantities of precious metal ores, but what exactly is not clear yet."

Damn it!

Abel, a mining novice, was stunned. Unexpectedly, a super large copper mine popped up behind a super large oil field given by the smoke of fate. In addition to the copper mine, he actually told himself that there were gold or other valuable minerals.

Abel didn't know whether these treasures were buried there or that these treasures had not. It was the power to change their destiny that buried them there.

But no matter what.

This can actually be considered a good thing.

Things may become very troublesome because of this.

Originally, a super large oil field was enough to make people suffer from red eye disease, but now there is another news that those red eye diseases may simply die of sudden eyes.

This is the problem.

The mining area that happened to be surrounded by the central government, the mining area of ​​the four companies. The tolls that might have been acceptable may not be doubled.

After listening to David Adams' report, Abel was silent for a moment and said softly: "Stately block the news."

"Well." David Adams' expression was also a little solemn. "At present, there are about 31 people who know about these things, besides you and me. Their external contact tools have been confiscated by me, and they are in the name of not being able to contact externally during work. But this cannot last long, I can only guarantee that it will be up to one month."

"A month..."

Abel pondered, "It should be enough."

Abel knew about the oil field being surrounded at the beginning. And through California United Oil and David Adams, we searched for three other companies besides the Rockefeller family to negotiate.

Negotiating the issue of passing.

Koch Industry and the Rockefeller family proposed that if they were to pass by, they would have to eat a portion. Of course, Abel disagreed because the other two families could negotiate.

Royal Dutch Shell, they have a little high demand, but they have no idea of ​​stake.

To the north, Valero Energy, with complete oil pipelines and several private asphalt roads, is the best attitude among the four companies.

They had long proposed that as long as they were willing to spend half of the money, they would have half of the money they had built the road. A main road could be shared, and the other auxiliary roads allowed Abel to build separately, but they had to be provided for them to use for free. And Abel would only have 10 years of use, which means to build the road for them and use them. The road will still be their cheating requirement after 10 years.

However, compared with the higher requirements of the other three companies, the requirements they put forward are already the lowest.

Abel didn't want to build it very much. He just wanted to use the ready-made transportation routes that the other party already owned. But of course the other party refused to suffer this loss. They paid for the exploration and immigration costs of the construction of these routes. Now they asked Abel to jointly bear it.

Abel had no objection to this, but he asked to connect to industrial electricity from the mining area of ​​Valero Energy. The other party now used this as a bargaining chip and made a slightly excessive demand, requiring Abel to bear more substation costs.

Substations are actually consumables, just like large transformers have their own service life. Substations of such large industrial enterprises also have their own service life.

It is easy to find that oil is simple and the smoke of fate is completed in a simple task. However, if you want to mine, there are many problems, especially if you want to mine it independently.

In addition to the above business involvement, we also need to negotiate with the American Department of the Interior, and negotiate with Texas and New Mexico state governments. So Abel came here this time, not just for a trip.

There are many things he needs to solve, but fortunately this is within the United States. If it is in Africa or the more turbulent camel area, it will face anti-government armed forces, guerrillas, or simply illegal government forces, which is even more troublesome.

It is actually very simple to solve all this. One depends on connections and the other depends on funds. For connections, the best way is to give up the benefits. Even if it is not concessions in oil or mining areas, it is still necessary to give up in other aspects.

Funding issues...

Is this a problem for him?

Abel is absolutely not short of funds. Although he invests very much every time, he earns more money from the financial market. He just made more than 11 billion US dollars yesterday. This 11 billion US dollars is completely enough for the initial fund to build this mining area for the United Oil Development in California.

Funding is not a problem at all.

However, it is not worth investing all the cash in his hand in the mining area. He does not want to make a fortune by relying on these, but only wants to use his influence at the source of the mineral industry to influence the market, influence the world, and enhance his world influence.

This is his ultimate goal of spending money on various industries, otherwise, how can he invest in thought?

If you are short of money, you will go to the financial market to collect some money, and then you will spend all kinds of money, just to death.

But in that case, there is no challenge and no point.

A big plug-in wasted.

And if you do that, how is it different from those suckers of the Camel Kingdom?

Even the people who play finance on Wall Street are like this. On the surface, they control services and virtual numbers. But relying on services and these virtual numbers, they control the shares of most large enterprises in the world except for some countries.

Since he established the investment in Luzhou on Dune Road, he has embarked on the road of not looking back.

On the plane.

After hanging up David Adams' correspondence, he closed his eyes and rested.

This time he went on a business trip, it was rare for him not to take a woman on his way. It was not that he suddenly didn’t like eating meat, but that he chose to leave in advance in order to avoid Anna.

Before arriving at his destination, Abel had already learned that although the temperature in New York was only a dozen degrees Celsius, and at the coldest time it was even around 10 degrees Celsius, the temperature here was still as high as 35 degrees Celsius.

Abel changed into a short-sleeved silk shirt and a pair of long trousers of Moss fabric. This fabric is super thin and wear-resistant, and is used for many ultra-thin suits. It is very cool. This pair of trousers was made by Winnie for her private tailor, who specially made it for Abel. She always knows a little more about these aspects than other 'female' children.
