Chapter 112 The Charm of Oil

The Hilton Hotel in Denver County has been contracted!No one knew the details of being contracted for a few days, but the huge banner hanging at the entrance of the Hilton Hotel still let people know the reason for being contracted here.

【Adams International Energy Announces Establishment in Colorado】

Two burly men in suits and leather shoes stood at the entrance of the Hilton Hotel. The bulging waists of these people and their 1-meter height were enough to make everyone retreat.

Whenever some unfamiliar faces and reporters appeared nearby, a Hilton staff member would come out of the hotel to kindly persuade them to leave.

If these people still refuse to leave, the nearby police cars will immediately start their work.

In the lobby on the first floor of the Hilton Hotel are staff of various oil companies, such as Drake Group, Israel's largest oil and gas operator, Saudi Aramco, the oil group with the world's largest reserves, Japan's oil and gas company, Texas' largest The oil and gas company Berry Petroleum, as long as it can be named in the 80s, all oil companies gathered together today.

Some of this group of staff are reading the news with newspapers in their hands; Send the file at the point.

"Hello, I'm an engineer from Atlantic Petroleum. This is a shale oil drilling plan we tailor-made for your company."

[Adams International Energy] There are very few people in the hotel lobby, except for a few girls wearing chest badges sitting near the front desk of the hotel and registering the tenders sent by these oil companies, there is no one else.

"Oh! Alright, just put the bidding documents here." The girl with a very iconic appearance looked up at the engineer in Atlantic Petroleum work clothes, then lowered her head and continued to work.

But the engineer didn't seem to intend to leave, but asked with a smile on his face: "Is the oil layer and rock formation announced by Mr. Robert Adams in the [USA Today] newspaper the day before yesterday in Colorado? "

"Sorry, I'm just a clerk. I don't know much about other information. I hope you can attend [Adams International Energy]'s bidding meeting on time in the afternoon."

The Atlantic Petroleum employee left in embarrassment when he heard this sentence.

Not far away, a Saudi Aramco clerk named Roland Ortiz murmured to his colleagues with a gossipy face: "As expected of the helm of Raytheon, the distribution of oil and rock formations is very wide. It is estimated that it must be at least one volumetric oil field!"

"Oil field? Are you sure it's not an oil mine? The oil mine they discovered in Los Angeles, they didn't exploit it after setting up the extraction facilities. I think they are playing a big game of chess!"

There is an essential difference between oil deposits and oil fields. Oil deposits are only gathered in a very narrow area. Along with the exploitation of oil, oil drilling must continue to dig down.

But the oil field does not have this kind of difficulty. The oil field has three layers in the geographical sense, shallow oil field, middle oil field, and deep oil field!
The difficulty of mining is low, the distribution range is wide, and the reserves are very high!
Roland Ortiz, who heard this sentence, looked around at his peers and just curled his lips: "I heard that this time, the local TGC oil in Colorado also got this clue, but it was just caught by Rob Te Adams got a head start. Don't you see the only oil company out there that doesn't have TGC?"

There is an endless stream of employees of the oil company holding various newspapers in their hands. The newspapers in the hands of those people all have one thing in common, that is, the news of [Adams International Energy] is reported in these newspapers.

[Adams International Energy announced the establishment of the largest shale oil and gas company in the United States in Colorado, which may change international oil prices]

"Okay! Okay, I have to submit our bid, I heard that this time [Adams International Energy] is not going to drill the shale oil fields themselves, but will choose one of us as their contractor !"

After saying this, Roland Ortiz patted his colleague on the shoulder and walked towards the little girls of [Adams International Energy] holding the bids that had been sorted out.

"Oh!"

"This little girl is so beautiful!"

Roland Ortiz looks very iconic, his height of 181 and a light luxury suit make his temperament extraordinarily attractive!

It's a pity that the little girl didn't raise her head to pay attention to him, but still lowered her head and sorted out the bidding documents. Roland Ortiz raised her eyebrows subconsciously.

Roland Ortiz picked up the little girl's writing right hand before the little girl could react: "Tsk! This hand is really beautiful, what a pity, if this hand can be matched with a A Coach bracelet will definitely make Miss Ni look even better!"

When the little girl heard this sentence, she just looked at the colleagues on her left and right and still didn't speak.

"Look~"

"Isn't it beautiful~"

Roland Ortiz clasped his left hand, and there was a shiny bracelet on the left hand of the office clerk of [Asan Temple International Energy].

A few small diamonds make the style of this bracelet rise several steps at once.

"I can't have it"

"It's okay, just accept it! Only a girl like you can wear this kind of jewelry!"

When Roland saw the little girl open the drawer and skillfully put the bracelet worth more than 7000 dollars into the full drawer, the corners of Roland's eyes twitched unnaturally, because there was a string of necklaces inside that looked More valuable than his bracelet.

"Mr. Robert Adams is receiving the Governor of Colorado State on the 28th floor. He may have a cup of coffee in 7 minutes. That is your chance to negotiate with him."

For this kind of black box operation, Roland did not operate once or twice. When he got the answer he wanted, Roland simply turned around and left.

Although Saudi Aramco is the world's largest oil supplier, it is also the world's top oil refiner.

As a business negotiation manager who has worked in the oil industry for many years, Roland realized the great value of the picture in the newspaper just by virtue of his experience!
Leaving aside the target amount and shale oil, natural gas alone is enough for Saudi Aramco to gain a lot of experience in it.

Roland glanced back at his colleagues with different thoughts behind him, and then secretly walked towards the 28th floor of the Hilton Hotel, but instead of taking the elevator, he walked up the fire escape.

After Robert Adams saw off the governor of Colorado, he sat opposite Tausi with a tired face and kept rubbing his forehead: "I actually don't like this way of life!"

Tao Xi crossed his legs and looked back and forth nonchalantly at the pair of certificates in his hand that marked the land property right transaction permission.

As for this kind of moaning from the rich, Tao Xi didn't care, and his work was not finished yet, if Robert Adams hadn't said that he would pay him, Tao Xi might not have come.

"[Adams International Energy] will directly announce its listing the day after tomorrow!"

Tao Xi immediately widened his eyes and looked at Robert Adams when he heard this: "Isn't it the standard to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange or NASDAQ for three years of profitability?"

"wow!"

"We found Goldman Sachs investment bank to cooperate and go public through the back door, don't you know? This company was a retail company before, and I planned to integrate some real estate companies to prepare for the listing."

"After all, we have a lot of brothers and sisters in my family. If I want to secure the position under my butt, I need to do a lot of things."

"I owe you a favor!" Robert Adams told Tao Xi the ins and outs of the matter sincerely, but Tao Xi didn't care about these, he just wanted to get the land ownership of the [natural reservoir].

"Where's my hydroelectric station?"

Robert Adams' complexion changed when he heard this, but soon Robert Adams took out a document and a check from a folder behind him.

"As a reward for this incident, you can choose the shares of [Adams International Energy], and I can give you 3 points of shares, but this amount of money can only be cashed out after half a year, and we have the priority to repurchase. "

"Or you could take this check for $500 million, and"

Taoxi took away the $500 million check before Robert Adams finished speaking. As for the shares of the oil company, Taoxi is not greedy, that is a lie!

But Tao Xi wasn't stupid. Tao Xi didn't want to get involved in those big shots downstairs that Tao Xi could only see on TV, and those cooperation plans worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

"And the land for the hydroelectric plant? I want that land, and I can pay for it."

Robert Adams spread his hands regretfully and explained: "The contract right to that piece of land was taken away by a man named Edmond Rapp a year ago, and the Rio Grande has been there for nearly 30 years. rights to exploit water resources.”

In the United States, if you want to set up a coal power plant, it is actually a very simple thing, as long as you have money, you can start it, but if you want to open a hydropower plant, it will be very troublesome.

On the one hand, water power resources are public resources, and on the other hand, it is [water resources mining rights]. When Tao Xi helped Robert Adams get back the first-hand information, he asked about this matter. Robert Adams Adams not only invited the governor of Colorado State to explain the matter to Tausi, but also helped him consult related policies.

Just when Tao Xi was full of ambition and looking forward to it all night, the contract right of that piece of land was already taken away by others?

But when Tao Xi heard the name Edmund Rapp, Tao Xi suddenly understood a lot. Professor Edmund, an old guy, deserves to be a professor at an Ivy League school.

He did put a lot of thought into researching that area, but in order to prevent his own interests from being embezzled by that mining boss Bastian, he actually planned ahead of time!

It's really old and cunning, Tao Xi thought that there was no need for him to find this professor anymore, it seemed that he had to work hard for his own career.

Of course, the premise is that he needs to meet Jr. Dalton again: "I took the check, and since you haven't completed the matter, then I will leave first!"

As soon as Taoxi got up, Robert Adams grabbed Taoxi and handed over a document: "When I bought the land ownership of Antero Mountain this time, a local oil company named TGC actually participated and his oil exploration information is more detailed than what you transmitted back to me in the helicopter, if you want this man named Edmond Rapp, you can go to this company to find a way."

Tausi watched as Robert Adams handed him all the documents pertaining to Edmund Rapp and TGC and left.

Just as Tao Xi walked out of the door, he saw a man standing at the door making a pose. The smell of perfume made Tao Xi sneezed several times.

Seeing Tao Xi looking at him with disgust, Roland was not angry but greeted Tao Xi with a smile.

"I advise you to change your clothes. Little Adams doesn't like a man who is more handsome than him!" Tao Xi left before Roland could speak.

"Uncle! Tao Xi didn't accept our shares, he chose that check! And I didn't do what he entrusted me with."

Emilio Adams sat in his office and pondered for a long time when he heard this sentence: "Well! It's okay if you don't succeed this time. If someone like Tao Xi wants to pull him into our trenches, he will still It will take some time, as for other things, let everything follow the fate."

Hearing that his uncle had given up on Tao Xi, little Adams asked with a puzzled face: "Uncle, don't you say that you are very optimistic about the power behind him? Why did you give up now?"

"Oh, a successful politician must have enough patience!"

"Tausy is not an ordinary person. Although his life is not focused on business, his [Neill's Fast Food Restaurant] and [Neil's United Cinemas] are of great value, and the minority votes he holds are not A small amount, I will try to figure it out, recently I just met a young Italian model in Hollywood, I heard from her that she has a very good relationship with Tao Xi, I will figure out a way from here.”

Little Adams nodded with a relaxed expression after hearing his uncle's explanation.

Since Little Adams met Tao Xi, Little Adams felt that his own life seemed to be on the fast track, changing day by day. Although there is no such thing as "ghosts and gods" in the United States, Little Adams just likes staying with Tao Xi.

Because little Adams got his most important part in the Adams family, that is the energy part!
If arms and energy are really combined, it may not be impossible for their family to have an extra leader in modern times.

That's the beauty of oil!

Leo Vantaa looked at the smelly old man in front of him with a look of disgust. Edmond Rapp was the one who obtained a private house in Denver County after Edmond Rapp sneaked into his laboratory.

The reason why the police failed to find Edmond was because the location of this private house was not under his name.

This is what Leo Vantaa used to catch Edmond Rapp, that's right!
In order to maximize his own interests, Leo not only reached a private cooperation with TGC Petroleum Company, but also received a lot of information fees.

It's just that everything has come to nothing now, because the Adams family, a bigwig in the American political arena, made a move, and his "oil sale plan" was forced to go bankrupt.

"If you want to leave the United States, I hope you can show what I value. As far as I know, Bastian has been reported by the private investigator he hired! You don't have much time, if it is later, I think you may not even have the chance to follow me to the Soviet Union!"

Edmund Rapp tremblingly picked up the water glass that was placed on the table, took a sip, and sighed heavily: "I really have nothing that you can exchange, those gems are Bar Stian hid it, I don’t know the location, my only role in the whole thing is to do geological surveys and help him provide some technical support.”

When Leo heard Edmond's words, he didn't pay attention to him, but stood by the window with his hands in his pockets and looked melancholy, looking at the scenery outside the window.

The private residence of Edmond Rapp has a nice view. It is located in a village with only 14 people on the outskirts of Denver County. Because it is a resort, other residents rarely come back except for one farmer. .

Not far away, a large windmill was built on the mill in the village to make a "creaking" sound.

"As a university professor, it's not easy for you to accumulate such a large property. I just don't know who will benefit from this farm after you die!"

Edmund Rapp was shocked when he heard Leo's words!

"Don't be afraid! The mutton on the table is the same breed as the mutton on the farm. I discovered it three days ago." After saying this, Leo took out a stick from the lining of his suit that he brought back from Cuba. The Cuban cigar slowly lit it.

Edmund Rapp moved his body slowly. If someone was nearby, he would definitely be able to see the footprints on his body and the bruises on his face.

"The pistol you hid under the sofa is out of bullets. If you don't believe me, you can shoot me!" Leo said to Edmond with his back turned to Edmond.

Edmund didn't believe what Leo said. He took out the pistol from the sofa cushion and pulled the trigger facing Leo's back.

"Click"

"Click"

At this moment, Leo took out a handful of yellow-orange bullets from his pocket, and the bullets hit the ground one by one.

Seeing this scene, Edmund Rapp's face became paler and paler, but Leo was still smoking his cigar leisurely: "Don't think about it, do you know how much the CIA spent to train me? I committed a crime. The chance of mistakes is very low, I just want to know where you hid those gems, and then we will go our separate ways, and I will prepare the Soviet passport and air ticket for you!"

"I really don't know where the gem is!"
