Chapter 196: New oil fields are discovered, and Husky becomes the biggest winner!
North Dakota is the most sparsely populated state in the beautiful country.
But it is called the "bread basket" of the beautiful country.
The reason for this praise is entirely because 90% of the state's land is used for agriculture, and 400 million acres of land are used for farming or pasture.
It can be said that it is a major agricultural state in the beautiful country and is the second largest wheat producer in the country.
The livestock industry is also very developed, with a total of 170 million beef cattle raised. On average, each North Dakotan owns three beef cattle.
The Red River Valley in North Dakota has the most fertile black soil in the world. It has unique agricultural production conditions and is very suitable for growing wheat.
Wang Lei's foundation has not only purchased a large amount of black land, but also has plans in the northwest.
October 1992 was another plain and simple day for Wang Lei.
But for Lindgren, it is a very meaningful, no, it should be said to be a historic day.
He discovered new oil fields in northwestern North Dakota!
"General Counselor Wang is really lucky. He bought nearly 5 acres of land in the northwest and is the largest landowner in North Dakota..."
Thinking of this, even Lindgren, who usually values integrity, began to feel faintly jealous.
According to U.S. law, if oil is discovered underground on private farms, the rights to exploit the oil also belong to private individuals.
Oil companies must sign an agreement with the owner of the land or the owner of the mining rights before they have the right to mine.
Thinking of this, Lindgren was thankful that because of his "good relationship" with the general counsel, Husky had the right to give priority to the quotation.
He estimates oil reserves in northwestern North Dakota range from 30 billion to 43 billion barrels.
Husky, who was the first to discover new oil fields, undoubtedly became the biggest winner.
In this way, the gap with Mobil Oil has narrowed by one point.
Thinking of this, he touched the oil on his face, and as he was usually frugal, he used his greasy hands to call Robert's desk without caring.
"Sir, I've discovered a huge new oil field in western North Dakota."
"really?"
Robert also raised his voice excitedly. Husky is Cayman Capital’s proudest investment. If Husky discovers a new oil field, it will undoubtedly make a splash in the international news.
This is very helpful for Husky to expand its brand influence.
"I am very sure that this oil field has a scale of at least 40 billion barrels. If we start full operation, we can achieve a productivity of at least 50 barrels per day!"
According to today's oil price, a barrel is about 20 US dollars.
In other words, if Husky mines at full capacity, its daily income will increase by US$1 million.
This is just the income from crude oil. Husky has its own refinery and processing plant, which can process it into refined oil and various products. The profit margin will be higher.
It can be said that Lindgren's new discovery will at least bring the company nearly $10 billion in net income every year.
Robert remembered the key point and asked doubtfully:
“No, we have discovered a new oil field, shouldn’t we convince local farmers to hand over the mining rights to us?
Lindgren, you have to hurry up and get rid of those farmers. "
"Haha, sir, no need, I've taken care of everything."
It was Robert's turn to be surprised. Germans who are usually strict should not lie. He asked hurriedly:
"What's going on?"
"I signed a cooperation agreement with Wang Lei's private acquisition fund a year ago. If Husky discovers new oil fields on his land, we have the first right to quote."
When he heard that it was the boss's private fund, Robert smacked his lips and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The boss's investment vision was really different from ordinary people, and he would even think of buying land in the beautiful country.
After hearing that Wang Lei alone owned 8 acres of land in North Dakota, Robert could no longer describe his feelings as shocked, and did not respond for a long time.
"Boss, I know you are surprised. According to the agreement, we have the right to make a priority offer. Do you want to suppress his offer?"
Robert twitched his lips when he heard Lindgren ask.
Man, you are very brave, you even dare to lower the price of the big boss behind the scenes.
He said hastily:
"No need, just give it the highest market price. If we take over the mining rights to the land in his hands, we will control half of the market in North Dakota."
The highest market share is 1/6. A small piece of land can make a small landowner a millionaire.
"That's fine. I guess I won't get much benefit from negotiating with the general counsel."
Lindgren thought of the days when he was dominated by Wang Lei again, and couldn't help but shudder.
"Well, let's report the good news to the old... Wang as soon as possible."
Robert almost spilled the beans and quickly corrected himself.
"Okay, I'll call him right now."
While the two were talking, Wang Lei had actually received the good news. Although he had been mentally prepared, he was still very excited when the oil field was actually discovered.
"Be careful with the jealous monsters. Fortunately, it has been almost more than a year since we bought this land. Even if those farmers want to cause trouble, they are not legally protected."
"Sir, don't worry. After the forest land incident, we have already completed the contract and specifically asked the seller to sign a statement. No matter what is found on the land, they belong to you."
"It's very good. The money earned from the fields will continue to be used to acquire the fields. With the efficiency of your public relations department's lobbying, the bill to fully implement the wasteland subsidy will be passed smoothly next year."
The other party couldn't help but ask:
"Boss, do you really plan to waste half of the fields year after year?"
"Yes, except for some fertile land, all of it will be planted with trees and grass for me."
When he said this, Wang Lei felt very gloomy. Maybe there could be a soybean crisis in the beautiful country in the future?
As soon as the call was hung up, Lindgren called.
"General Counsel, we've discovered new oil fields under your farm."
"Oh, that's it. Are you here to discuss mining rights with me?"
"Yes, we intend to give you..."
……
After hanging up the phone, Lindgren touched his face with his hand again and said to several of his subordinates who were captured and sent to the front line:
“Everyone took action for me and led me to sign contracts door to door.
We must get rid of all the farmers within a week. We must get ahead of Mobil Company and eat this big piece of cake! "
When he said this, Lindgren had a bit of a domineering attitude, and a group of supervisors did not dare to complain at all.
They all let go and summoned their subordinates who were wallowing in the crude oil.
