In fact, Alekperov was not surprised or dissatisfied with Yang Jing's statement, which was almost an excuse.
To be fair, if it were him, he would never reveal the truth.
And through the conversation tonight, Alekperov was almost certain that this young man did possess an incredible magical spell, but this spell had great limitations, perhaps due to the limitations of the spell itself, or perhaps due to the limitations of those old oil wells.
Alekperov judged that the latter was more likely. As for the limitations of the spell, there were some, but it would definitely not be like what the young man said, that it would consume one's lifespan to cast this spell. Casting this spell should have a certain consumption, but since this spell could be passed down for so long, it must not have too huge a consumption. Otherwise, if it really cost lifespan, then this spell would probably not have been passed down for so long.
The most likely limitation is the old oil wells.
As a veteran oil man, Alekperov certainly knows how oil is extracted.
Oil is hidden deep in the rock layers hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of meters underground. With modern human science and technology, it is impossible to observe the underground oil and gas reservoirs through such thick rock layers. But no matter what, oil and natural gas are hidden in a closed oil and gas reservoir, and several oil and gas reservoirs gathered together to form an oil field.
When a well is drilled directly into an oil and gas reservoir, oil and natural gas will inevitably emerge. But oil wells are not built one after another like human queues. There must be gaps between oil wells. Perhaps, between two or more oil wells, there is an oil and gas reservoir that has never been broken.
This young man uses this magic to find undiscovered oil and gas reserves on the ground.
But this possibility is extremely small. After all, every time an oil field is discovered, dozens, hundreds or even thousands of oil wells must be drilled. Therefore, under the "intensive bombardment" of so many oil wells, it is extremely difficult to miss any oil and gas reservoirs.
This is why this young man, who obviously has such a magical power, has only found the missed oil and gas reservoirs in Beaumont and O'Hama in the past two years. Otherwise, so many old oil wells and oil fields in the world would have been monopolized by this young man, and the global oil and gas supply pattern would have been changed by this young man.
But now, the world's oil and gas supply structure has not changed much, and the Rongbao Mining in which this young man invested only has two oil fields.
Moreover, with the continuous development of modern oil extraction technology, the situation of missing oil and gas reservoirs has become almost impossible to happen, except for the relatively old oil fields.
As for the more than 600 old oil wells that he had just sold, although they belonged to two oil fields, it was very unlikely that he would find the missed oil and gas reservoirs in them. Even if there were, the reserves would probably not be that large. Therefore, he should not lose money on this deal.
Even if Rongbao Mining really found a new oil and gas reservoir with rich reserves in these old oil wells, it would not change anything. Unless they found an oil and gas reservoir as large as the Ghawar oil field in Saudi Arabia, but is that possible?
You know, the world's largest oil field alone covers an area of more than 3,300 square kilometers, which is half the area of Baku! How could there be such a large oil and gas reservoir near Baku?
As a tycoon who had experienced decades of ups and downs, Alekperov analyzed all the "cause and effect" almost instantly. Therefore, he was not dissatisfied with Yang Jing's words.
On the contrary, as the world's second largest private oil company with a 1.3% share of the world's oil reserves, a 5.1% share of the world's oil production, 36% of Russia's oil production, 48% of Russia's oil processing and smelting, and total oil reserves of 45.5 billion barrels, Lukoil still has a lot of old oil wells.
If he could have a pleasant cooperation with Rongbao Mining this time, then there would be hope that he could find someone to take over the old oil wells in his hands.
So, from Alekperov's perspective, he even hopes that this young man can discover new oil and gas reserves in those old oil wells. After the first pleasant cooperation, will there be less cooperation in the future?
It was with this mentality that Alekperov treated Yang Jing very attentively. At least Yang Jing could not find any shortcomings.
Look at this: the pure Black Sea caviar that is more valuable than gold, the top-quality white truffles from Alba in the Piedmont region in northwestern Italy, and the Chateau Margaux red wine airlifted from France... With these top-quality ingredients alone, the cost of this dinner will be no less than $300,000!
With those big shots accompanying him, Yang Jing really couldn't find any flaws.
But it doesn’t matter. After I take over the Dragon Fund, the worst that can happen is that I can let this oil oligarch continue to manage Lukoil for me.
The meal was a great success for both the host and the guests. After all, it was a banquet personally arranged by the richest man in Azerbaijan and the sixth richest man in Russia. Even the big shots in Azerbaijan probably rarely get to eat such top-quality and fresh ingredients.
After the dinner, Yang Jing and Guo Dabao said goodbye to the host. Although Alekperov's manor was big enough, as guests, Yang Jing and Guo Dabao would not stay here. This had nothing to do with anything else, but was a business rule.
