Chapter 163 Buy farmland and open the busy box

Lindgren's vacation was ruined when a new oil field was discovered in the town.

The only thing that pleased him was that the overjoyed Robert allowed him to take his wife to work.

On this day, Wang Lei put Qi Xiaona on the plane back to school.

"Xiao Na, I have someone buy an apartment in the high-end residential area of ​​the college. You can live off campus from now on.

And these four are professional female bodyguards I hired. They will be responsible for your safety from now on. "

"It's not that big of a deal, brother, I'll be fine if I live in the school."

"There's nothing wrong with being careful. If Hof doesn't have a clear mind and does something to hurt you, I will regret it for the rest of my life."

Seeing that Wang Lei cared so much about her, Qi Xiaona did not refuse anymore and reluctantly boarded Wang Lei's private plane.

Just then Lindgren caught up with him in his new car:

"Tou, you... haven't left yet."

"I thought……"

"You thought I would forget about the big deal I promised you when I turned around, right?"

Lindgren nodded sheepishly:

"I thought you were leaving California today."

Wang Lei has always been a dragon that sees the beginning but not the end. No one knows which country he will appear in tomorrow.

"I should be staying in California for a few more days. Come on, let's find a place to talk about big business."

Lindgren nodded, and the two found a secluded small cafe next to the airport.

"Recently, I have taken a liking to the farm business and plan to purchase some land in the beautiful country with a large sum of money."

“Boss, if you want to copy this good luck, I advise you to put away the idea of ​​buying land.

Not every field contains oil. Even if there is, most of it is difficult to extract and is considered a strategic reserve. "

Wang Lei naturally understands this truth. He can't say that there will be an oil boom in North Dakota in the future.

He can only explain:

"No, prospecting for oil is just a casual thing. I had the idea of ​​purchasing a large amount of land before I discovered the oil field.

I am going to spend 100 billion US dollars to acquire fields in every state in the beautiful country. I want to be the largest landowner in the beautiful country! "

In Lindgren's impression, farm business is not profitable, and many small farmers rely on government subsidies to survive.

Although he didn't understand the general counsel's wealth experience, he understood that Wang Lei was a smart rich man and would not engage in loss-making business, so he did not continue to persuade him.

Asked rhetorically:

"Boss, do you want to entrust Husky to explore for oil in the farmland you bought?"

"Yes, I think I have bought everything worth 100 billion US dollars, and it is not bad to open a blind box. If there is oil, I will make a profit, and Husky will have an extra source of wealth, which is beneficial to everyone."

"Opening a blind box? This metaphor is quite appropriate. On behalf of Husky, I promise your cooperation."

Lindgren felt that he had come to the right place. It was 100 billion US dollars of land, which was 25 to 30 acres of land.

With such a large land, it is inevitable that there will be some oil fields suitable for exploitation.

This definitely gives Husky a foothold in our beautiful country.

You must know that Ellison Mobil monopolizes most of the oil deposits in the beautiful country, and there are other local giants watching covetously.

Husky wants to become the world's largest energy company, and Beautiful Country is an indispensable piece of the puzzle. Helping Wang Lei survey farmland is also a good opportunity for them to gain a foothold in Beautiful Country.

The savvy Lindgren had no reason to refuse.

"Boss, where is our first stop?" Lindgren wanted to do something big now.

"North Dakota! My people have started a massive acquisition there."

"Okay, I'll take care of things here and lead the team over immediately."

"It's good to be motivated, but I hope you pay attention to your own security. Isn't Husky even willing to spend this little money on you?"

"No, our company has sufficient funds, but I personally feel it is unnecessary, so I have reduced this cost."

"How can this be done? This is my security company. If you contact them, not only do you need bodyguards, your entire team needs protection."

Hearing this, Lindgren thought of his wife and the furious faces of David and his son:

"Okay, I'll contact them now."

Wang Lei nodded. He has been secretly planning for the oil industry.

If Husky successfully acquires the oil fields in North Dakota, it will have the ability to compete with the three established giants, but if it wants to go further, it must make a bigger discovery.

He suddenly remembered the Guyana-Suriname Basin, known as the world's last great offshore oil boom.

Mobil Corporation conducted many drilling operations in the Guyana Basin as early as the 20s and 60s.

But the results were unclear, causing the basin to be ignored by many energy companies.

But in 2001, the United States Geological Survey once again conducted further exploration of the Guyana-Suriname Basin.

It turns out that the Guyana-Suriname basin actually contains 28 billion to 326 billion barrels of undiscovered oil resources!

In fact, the oil reserves contained in the basin are still far underestimated. Until 2023, oil blocks will continue to be discovered.

Guyana will become the new top oil producer in the future!

If Husky seizes the opportunity in its layout in Guyana, then Husky may really surpass Mobil and replace it to become the world's number one energy giant.

When it goes public by then, Husky will not be short of investors and hopefuls.

"Liu Hu, let's go to the Western Petroleum Company in Los Angeles. I plan to meet Martin Davis, an old fox."

Martin Davis, chairman of Occidental Petroleum, bought Paramount, one of the five major Hollywood giants, in 1966!

Paramount, one of the three oldest production companies in Hollywood, is well-known for its logo of stars surrounding snow-capped mountains.

The latest news from Fox with a Thousand Faces is that Martin has recently been thinking of selling Paramount.

The reason starts with the Paramount Act that shocked the entire film industry in 1948.

At that time, the five major film companies, as giants, monopolized both the production and theater industries.

Because there are no movie theaters and no film schedules, small companies have almost no chance of getting ahead.

In order to break up the chaebol's monopoly on the film industry, the Paramount Act split up production companies and theater chains.

Coupled with the rise of the television industry, the film industry collapsed. As a giant among giants, Paramount fell.

It was during this period that Martin Davis purchased Paramount.

Soon after, former Paramount president Barry Diller made his debut.

Two of his assistants, Michael Eisner and Jeffrey Katzenberg, later became big names in the film industry.

This trio brought Paramount back to the top of Hollywood.

However, Barry Diller's vision was to build a new television network.

Martin Davis, the boss behind the parent company, has no intention of trying such a venture.

In 1984, Barry Diller finally found his soulmate.

It was Rupert Murdoch, the Australian media tycoon who had just taken over [-]th Century Fox.

Was poached to work on his fourth television network.

Subsequently, Michael Eisner and Jeffrey Katzenberg were also poached by Disney.

For a period of time since then, Paramount has been in trouble again.

Seeing the elites leaving, being poached, and Paramount's performance deteriorating year by year, Martin began to think about selling Paramount.

Wang Lei, who has always wanted to buy a major Hollywood production company, naturally set his sights on it!
