Chapter 378 Chess Pieces



After a pause, the fat man continued, "Linzi, I have arranged a place for you to rest. It is where the French used to live. The conditions are not much worse than here, but it is unrealistic to expect it to be better. So, you just have to make do with it for a while."

Lin Dan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Fatty, we are not as delicate as you think."

Yang Jing waved his hand and said, "Chris, Carl, arrange for the guards on duty, and the rest of you can go and rest. You've been driving all day and you're tired. Go to bed early."

The captain of the eight-man combat team hired this time is named Carl Morris.

Hearing Yang Jing's arrangement, Morris nodded, then named two team members, and after making some arrangements, he led them out. Chris and the other four slept in this hall that night. They were Yang Jing's personal bodyguards, so they naturally couldn't live outside.

When the fat man saw that most people had left, he nodded at Yang Jing, and the two of them walked into the fat man's room.

What surprised Yang Jing was that there was a running water faucet in the fat man's room.

"Haha, it's quite surprising, isn't it? I was also quite surprised to see this tap when I first came here. Our area is lower than the surrounding areas and can be considered a small basin, so the groundwater is actually very abundant. Don't forget that there is the Duleman Well to the west and the Roman Well to the north, which is enough to prove that there are abundant groundwater resources in this small basin. However, it is not easy to dig a well in a place like this, so there is still a lot of tap water in the living area, which is all tap water brought from the refinery. Well, this water is all groundwater and can be drunk directly. It tastes pretty good."

Yang Jing took the cup and poured himself a glass of water. He tasted it and found that it was no different from spring water.

In fact, the underground water just failed to break through the barrier of the rock layer. If the underground water broke through the rock layer, it would form a spring. Of course, there would be another oasis in Algeria.

After drinking the water in the cup in one gulp, Yang Jing asked, "Tell me, why are you in such a hurry this time? This is North Africa, the political situation is not stable, why did you think of buying an oil field here? And it's an oil field at the end of its production period, what on earth is your father thinking?"

The fat man smiled bitterly and shook his head, took out a pack of cigarettes and gestured to Yang Jing. Yang Jing shook his head, and then he took out a cigarette and lit it.

"Ah... it's hard to put it into words." The fat man complained, exhaled a puff of smoke, and then said: "Our country's demand for energy, especially oil, is increasing. Now it can be said that we are looking for oil all over the world."

"I know that, let's get to the point." Yang Jing interrupted the fat man without any hesitation. He was going to get engaged next month, and Yang Jing didn't want to come to such a barren place. It would be so comfortable to stay at home with his family. Now he had to come to such a barren place, and it would be a lie for Yang Jing to say that he was not angry.

"Okay." The fat man nodded. "The country has long wanted to enter North Africa to look for oil. The country has offered many favorable conditions. The two oil companies only entered this country two years ago. However, the development of the two oil companies here has not been very smooth. So far, they are only in the ice-breaking stage."

"However, the incident some time ago when Libyan militias sneaked into In Amenas in the south and attacked the natural gas facilities there shocked the world and cast a shadow on Algeria's oil and gas prospects. The impact of that incident was very bad, and many foreign oil companies that were mining oil and gas in Algeria began to withdraw. Under such circumstances, the country decided to strike while the iron was hot and take over all the oil and gas fields in Algeria from those foreign companies. Our Rongbao Mining was forcibly arranged to enter here under such circumstances."

"There's nothing I can do. I guess my dad has told you about Rongbao Mining. There are some things that we simply cannot decide. In the face of national interests, our personal will is nothing."

Hearing Guo Xiaoxiang's helplessness, Yang Jing could only remain silent.

As a major shareholder, Yang Jing had already known about the situation of Rongbao Mining. After hearing what Fatty said, he immediately understood why the power behind Rongbao Mining did this.

This is a big game, and the small Rongbao Mining is just an insignificant chess piece in this game.
