Chris Barton, John Bruno and James Lin will become Yang Jing's closest partners during his time in the United States.

The two bodyguards, Chris and John, are responsible for the safety of Yang Jing and Lin Dan, while Lin Dan is responsible for all of Yang Jing's auxiliary work in the United States.

Yang Jing had money in his pocket, but he knew nothing about the United States. He had never been to the United States before. Although he had learned a little about the United States by reading some information before coming, he still had to rely on a local tyrant to do auxiliary work for him.

Lin Dan, this lively young man, obviously suits Yang Jing's taste. He is smart enough and knows enough about the United States. With him around, Yang Jing can do his work with confidence.

Lin Dan first accompanied Yang Jing to a Citibank not far from the branch to apply for a bank card, and then took Yang Jing and the other two bodyguards to Chinatown, where they had a very sumptuous and authentic Cantonese meal. Then he and Yang Jing moved into a newly opened hotel.

"Brother Yang, where are we going tomorrow? You'd better tell me in advance so I can prepare in the evening."

"Well, brother, I want to ask if there is an old oil well auction in San Francisco?"

"Old oil well auction?" James Lin asked curiously. "Although California has abundant oil resources and many old oil wells, there is no old oil well auction in San Francisco."

After a pause, James Lin continued, "The oil fields on land in the United States are mainly distributed in the central and southwestern United States, as well as California and Alaska. States such as Mississippi, Kansas, Texas, Louisiana, Arizona, and New Mexico are all major oil-producing areas. However, among these states, Texas was one of the earliest states to develop oil fields, so there are many old oil fields and old oil wells here. Most of the oil fields here have been developed for more than a hundred years, so there is basically no potential to be tapped. Therefore, the auctions of old oil wells are mostly held in cities such as Houston, Dallas, and Austin in Texas. Of course, there are also many old oil well auctions held every year in New Orleans, Memphis, and Kansas. As for California, the auctions of old oil wells are mostly held in Los Angeles and San Diego."

Yang Jing nodded after hearing this, and after a moment of thought, he said, "Xiao Lin, please check tonight to see where and when the latest old oil well auction will be held."

"Brother Yang, are you going to buy an old oil well?" Lin Dan asked.

"Well, I am a little interested in this area, so I want to try to enter this industry."

"Well, I'll check it out tonight. Although Rongbao Mining mainly deals in metal minerals, we also have many old friends in the oil industry. Don't worry, I'll be able to find out soon."

After Lin Dan left the room, Yang Jing threw himself onto the sofa and lowered his head to think about his plans for the next few days.

Yang Jing's desire to buy the old oil well was not without purpose, because when he was in China, he once tried to absorb some natural things to increase the natural treasure reserves in the holy ring, but except for precious gems such as jade and jadeite, the effects of other things were not very obvious, including crude oil.

There is a petrochemical plant in Tianqu City, and several of Yang Jing's uncle Li Long's classmates work in this factory. Therefore, Yang Jing had the opportunity to come into contact with the raw material of this petrochemical plant - petroleum.

As a mineral that has been brewing by Mother Earth for tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years, oil can be regarded as the essence of the earth. So Yang Jing wanted to try it to see if there were any natural treasures contained in oil.

What made Yang Jing excited was that the oil did contain natural treasures, but what also disappointed him was that the natural treasures contained in the oil were too little.

Yang Jing entrusted his uncle's classmate to buy ten liters of crude oil from the petrochemical plant. As a result, the natural treasure gas contained in these ten liters of crude oil was pitifully small. The natural treasure gas contained in these ten liters of crude oil could not even increase the natural treasure gas gathering pool by one ten-thousandth...

Originally, Yang Jing gave up crude oil, but during that time, Yang Jing tried many things, but the results were not much better than crude oil.

According to the natural objects that Yang Jing tried, in addition to gemstones such as jade and jadeite, precious metals such as gold and platinum also contain a lot of natural treasures, but other things contain much less natural treasures, including diamonds, which Yang Jing previously believed should contain the most natural treasures.

If we really talk about value, diamonds are much more valuable than jadeite, Hetian jade, etc., but the natural treasure contained in such precious diamonds of the same volume is not as much as that of copper, and is only slightly more than crude oil...

This discovery also made Yang Jing completely understand why many people say that diamonds are all hyped up and their value is not even as valuable as a piece of coal of the same volume.

Coal can be lit to keep you warm when you are cold, but what is the use of diamonds? Do you think diamonds can be used to burn or to build houses? This thing is useless except for being hard and reflecting light!

Moreover, diamond is a single crystal composed of carbon, which is abundant in the earth's interior and is essentially the same as graphite. However, due to the hype of some people, diamond has become the most valuable gem on the planet...

So Yang Jing completely gave up on diamonds. Of course, even if he didn't give up, neither diamonds nor diamond mines were within his reach.
