When she received a call from her aunt asking her to go home quickly, because she didn¡¯t give any reason on the phone and her tone was very solemn, Yuan Qiaoqiao thought something big had happened and kept thinking wildly on the way home in a taxi.
When she opened the door and saw her aunt sitting on the sofa, she immediately asked eagerly: "Aunt, what happened?"
"Close the door." Gu Huxin did not answer her question and looked at the open doorway behind her.
Seeing that she still had time to worry about whether the door was closed or not, Yuan Qiaoqiao was completely relieved. While closing the door and changing her shoes, she complained: "Auntie, do you know that you almost scared me to death.
You urged me to come back quickly on the phone, but you didn¡¯t tell me the reason, and your tone was so solemn that I almost thought the sky was falling. What happened? "
Gu Huxin pulled her to sit down next to her and said, "Qiaoqiao, originally this was supposed to be a good thing, but because the amount involved was too large, the family couldn't afford it, so the final result was a bit unsatisfactory"
Yuan Qiaoqiao was confused when she heard it, and interrupted her impatiently: "Auntie, what is it? Tell me quickly, don't beat around the bush."
"The fourteen old oil wells in the small discontinued oil field you bought in the United States in Mississippi were found to have seven oil and gas layers that have not yet been exploited after re-surveying."
"This is a good thing." Yuan Qiaoqiao said happily: "The return on investment should be quite high, right? Have you calculated it? How high can it be?"
Gu Hu sighed happily: "The return on investment has reached more than seventy times. You can get rich overnight. No, you are a millionaire." Then he showed a wry smile, "But because the return on investment is too high, and the most important thing is that those old people The oil and gas reservoirs in the oil wells are too rich, so they are targeted by the oil companies over there.¡±
"What kind of targeting law? I remember when I was attending the auction, the auctioneer once said that the United States has relevant protection laws. When I bought them, all the procedures were complete, even if they were sold, I will take care of the lawsuit, so I don¡¯t have to worry about the cost. As long as I win the lawsuit and develop the old oil well, it will be enough to pay the lawyer¡¯s fees.¡±
"Qiaoqiao, my arms can't twist my thighs.
Among other things, although U.S. law stipulates that in your case, minerals such as oil, natural gas, and coal discovered on private land no longer belong to the landowner, but to the mineral developer. These minerals are obtained from private land. The minerals discovered on the land no longer have any connection with the land owners.
But the private land where the dozen old oil wells are located is not in your name. In the United States, construction on private land is a huge headache. If the farmer was reasonable, the pipeline could be re-routed. But if someone refuses to let you enter their farm, you have no choice but to watch an old oil well that has been revitalized stand alone and useless.
So, just for this reason, the oil companies can hold us back. "
Yuan Qiaoqiao sneered and said, "I made a mistake. I forgot to buy the land where the old oil well is located."
Gu Huxin added: "Furthermore, discovering the oil field is only the first step. The subsequent normal production management, oil sales, etc., as well as a series of business issues such as financial budgets, final accounts, tax returns, legal issues, and environmental issues in production management, Mr. Qi As a new outsider in the petroleum industry, it is basically impossible for you to become familiar with this series of petroleum production management businesses in a short period of time.
Of course, we can also acquire a small oil company and directly develop and manage it. However, in the United States, environmental protection issues such as oil and gas pipeline laying and drainage are quite complex. Many resources are concentrated in the hands of large and medium-sized oil companies, and they must be solved at a high cost.
As for entrusting an experienced agency to manage the production business, the risk is not small at all. "
She sighed and said: "Okay, I accept their plundering, but they can't eat meat and don't even leave me some soup, right? Tell me, what conditions are they offering?"
¡°Even if they cooperate with us to develop oil wells, they still need at least half of the shares.¡±
Yuan Qiaoqiao was silent for a moment and said: "I don't want to keep any shares anymore. I told my second brother to sell these old oil wells as a whole." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
