"There is another commodity you need to pay special attention to, and that is coal. Coal mining in Germany has been restricted, and there will definitely be a coal shortage in Europe.
We are now going to start signing procurement agreements with equipment and coal mining companies.
Don't worry about not being able to digest these resources. They can be shipped to Brazil and used in our Fangyuan Group's steel plant.
If there is an opportunity, I hope our Global Group will have the opportunity to enter the coal industry.
After all, the United States and Canada have some of the largest coal reserves in the world.
However, these two markets are relatively mature, and perhaps it is a little late for us to enter now.
Let's put it this way! We can think of a way to deal with coal in Colombia, South America.
After all, the distance to Brazil will be shorter in the future.”
Wan Chongxin of course carried out Fang Lang's order without hesitation and immediately said:
...
...
"I understand, Boss. I'll start preparing as soon as I get back."
Fang Lang came to Wan Chongxin, patted Wan Chongxin on the shoulder and said:
"Don't worry, let's sit down and talk.
There is also a huge opportunity in this matter, which is the reconstruction of Europe.”
When Wan Chongxin heard Fang Lang mention the reconstruction of Europe, he didn't react for a moment. After all, Europe was already undergoing reconstruction.
Seeing Wan Chongxin didn't say anything, Fang Lang smiled and said:
"What? You don't believe it!
Let's put it this way! Once this happens, Europe will become the forefront of the confrontation between the two major groups.
Do you think the United States can continue to allow Europe to continue in the chaos it is now?"
"Boss, you mean that the United States will support the reconstruction of Europe."
After hearing Fang Lang's analysis, Wan Chongxin immediately grasped the key point. If the United States wants to participate in Europe's reconstruction, it must either provide loans or provide support.
But even if it is support, it will definitely not be voluntary or free. This is a big business!
The more Wan Chongxin thought about it, the more frightened he became. If it was really as he guessed, if Global Trade could catch this ride in advance, its development prospects would be limitless!
“What else?
Since the United States wants Europe to serve as its pawn, how can it not give it enough benefits?
This is why if you want a horse to run well, you need to have enough fodder!"
At this moment, Wan Chongxin clearly understood the twists and turns involved!
He was shaking with excitement, and after a long while he suddenly said:
“So, Boss, when you signed the licensing agreement with those shipyards, you wanted the ships they produced for this reason, right?
You had anticipated this day a long time ago, right?
Boss, are you a prophet? "
Fang Lang was also shocked when he heard Wan Chongxin's words. Is this a personal cult?
However, Fang Lang couldn't admit this kind of thing. He just smiled and denied it:
“These things can be analyzed in advance. As for how to analyze them specifically, you can think about it carefully.
When you know the reasons and can analyze things yourself, you can become a truly successful businessman. "
This incident had a huge impact on Wan Chongxin.
Originally, he felt that the gap between him and his boss was not that big. But today, he suddenly found that he had only reached the second floor, while his boss was already in the atmosphere.
It is an existence that can only be looked up to.
Originally, Wan Chongxin wanted to continue learning more from his boss, but unfortunately, the secretary outside knocked on the door and told Fang Lang that a man named Leier was coming to visit with two people.
Wan Chongxin could only stand up and say goodbye to Fang Lang. Fang Lang smiled and patted him on the shoulder. After encouraging him a few words and hoping that he should study more, he did not try to keep him.
I thought that only Reyer was coming, but unexpectedly, three people came.
Fortunately, Fang Lang had seen the information of these three people in the information of Richfield Company.
After several people exchanged pleasantries, Fang Lang directed them to the reception area and asked his secretary to bring them a few cups of tea. Then he got straight to the point:
"I heard from my assistant that Mr. Reyer has been waiting for me in New York for a long time, right?"
Mr. Reyer and the other two Richfield managers were meeting Fang Lang for the first time and seemed a little embarrassed.
Hearing Fang Lang's active question, Leier quickly replied:
"Yes, I'm sorry to bother you, Mr. Fang.
The main reason is that Richfield Company has now been wholly acquired by Global Group, but we have not waited for the new boss to come and rearrange our work.
The employees were a little nervous.”
Fang Lang pointed to the cups of tea on the coffee table and motioned for them to join in.
He then glanced at a few people slowly, and finally stopped his gaze on Mr. Reyer and said:
"Then I wonder if the situation at Richfield Company has gotten out of control during your time in New York?"
"Please rest assured, Mr. Fang, even though we are not in the company.
However, the company's business is proceeding normally and has not been affected.
Only the Prudhoe Bay exploration project has been temporarily suspended due to financial constraints.
However, the company now has a debt of about two million, which will mature next month.
I hope you can prepare early, boss."
Two million is certainly nothing to Fang Lang. He is more concerned about the oil exploration work in Prudhoe Bay.
In his impression, the reason why the oil in Prudhoe Bay was not discovered in the early stages was that the drilling depth was not enough. Some boreholes were even less than ten meters away from the actual oil layer.
“A debt of two million is a small problem.
Mr. Reyer, I hear that Mr. Morgan thinks very highly of you.
Considering that you have worked in this company for so many years, I have no intention of changing the company's management for the time being.
However, the group company will definitely send new financial and human resources personnel to the company, and we hope that you can actively cooperate.
In addition, the company's name will be changed to Global Petroleum Exploration.
My concern now is how much more money I need to invest if I continue to explore for oil in Prudhoe Bay.”
Reyer obviously did not expect that Fang Lang would continue the oil well exploration work in Prudhoe Bay.
After all, it can be said that Richfield Company was dragged down by this project.
Now the outside world is generally pessimistic about the Prudhoe Bay project, believing that there may be no oil here at all.
However, Reyer still believed that there must be an oil field in Prudhoe Bay, and previous scientific research and demonstration supported this view.
But they still don’t understand why they haven’t found the target after exploring for so long and drilling thousands of wells.
It even directly brought down their company and they failed to discover oil.
He thought the new boss would definitely give up this project, but he didn't expect that the boss's first target would still be the Prudhoe Bay oil field project.
Some unbelievable way:
"Boss, are you serious?
I mean, should we continue to explore at Prudhoe Bay?"
"why not?
How big is our exploration licence now in Prudhoe Bay!"
“Boss, we bought the exploration license for the entire central area of Prudhoe Bay from the Alaska government.
The area is a full 100,000 acres and the total cost is $9.3 million.
The amount of money invested is really huge, and Prudhoe Bay is close to the Arctic, the land is all frozen, and mining is difficult.
Because permafrost has a great impact on seismic waves, we later developed a method to correct permafrost data.
Therefore, the huge investment in this project is the real reason for the collapse of Richfield Company. "
Perhaps, the reason why Reyer explained this situation to Fang Lang was to remind him again of the huge risks of this project.
However, Fang Lang was secretly delighted when he heard this, as it had cost 9.3 million US dollars just to purchase the exploration license for this piece of land.
He acquired the company himself but only invested 10 million US dollars in total.
Along with the company's machinery and equipment came the oil exploration rights for another piece of land in Texas.
Coupled with the fact that the oil wells are now producing oil continuously, this acquisition is really a big profit.
Historically, the oil field was not actually discovered until December 1967, which means that if the normal progress had been followed, the oil well would not be available for another 21 years.
Since I have the opportunity to acquire this company in advance, of course, I will not let this matter drag on.
"What is the maximum drilling depth of our exploration equipment now?"
"2,000 meters. Our current maximum exploration depth is only two thousand meters."
"Not enough. When we get back, we will immediately order a drilling rig that can reach a depth of at least 2,500 meters.
In the central area of Prudhoe Bay, drilling continued down into areas that had already been drilled.
Can we drill all the way to 2,500 meters and see if we can find anything?"
Since the boss has spoken, Reyer certainly won't have any objections.
He understood what his boss meant, which was to trust their judgment that there was an oil field in Prudhoe Bay.
They believe that the reason they were unsuccessful was that they did not drill deep enough.
"No problem, Mr. Fang, I will immediately order a drilling rig from Loveland that can reach a depth of 2,500 meters."
Fang Lang was very satisfied with Leier's attitude and said with a smile:
"I will have dinner with Mr. Morgan later and discuss a possible loan of $10 million to our Global Oil Exploration Company to carry out this project.
I hope you won’t let me down.”
When Reyer heard that there was actually 10 million US dollars in funds, he was surprised. If he just wanted to continue the exploration based on the original drilling, this money would definitely be enough.
So, for a moment, Reyer was also very excited.
He quickly stood up and thanked Fang Lang:
"Mr. Fang, thank you! We will definitely not let you down."
The two people beside Reyer also stood up to express their gratitude, but one of them's eyes lit up when he heard about the 10 million US dollars in funding.
The performance seems to be the same as the other two, but there is a slight difference.
Fang Lang had seen this person from the information, Zuel Swan, who was in charge of the logistics and equipment management of Richfield Company.
This guy is responsible for all the equipment procurement and maintenance work of the company.
Thinking of the other party's reaction after hearing what he said, Fang Lang was sure that this guy was not a good person. At the very least, he was a scum who took kickbacks or embezzled public funds.
It turns out that Fang Lang has no control over what is happening at Richfield Company.
However, now that Richfield Company has been acquired by me, I will never allow such a person to exist.
However, as a boss, I certainly cannot fire an employee just because I take one look and think there is something wrong with him.
Just as the three were leaving, Fang Lang stopped Reyer and asked him to start an investigation into Mr. Zuel Swan together with the personnel from the group company.
Focus on investigating the other party's economic problems.
If you have solid evidence, talk to the other party directly.
Of course, the result will definitely not keep this person in the new company.
