Mixed in the last days as a salted fish

Chapter 261 Offshore Oil Wells and Betrayal

"Governor Li, I would like to ask, what do you think is the probability of war?"

Zhang Hao humbly asked for advice.

After all, the other party is an old politician for decades, with a wide network of contacts and rich information resources, and his grasp of the international situation is definitely much better than that of ordinary people.

Governor Li bowed his head and thought for a while: "Even if it's not [-]% to [-]%, it's at least [-]%."

"so tall?"

Zhang Hao paid more attention to it than ever before.

"You may not be very aware of the complexity and seriousness of the current situation. Apart from other issues, there are tens of millions of unemployed people in China.

There are so many people who need to eat and support their families. They may be able to survive for a year or two, but after three years, they will definitely die. At that time, there will be a tsunami-like eruption, and no one will be spared.

To be honest, our coastal conditions are not bad, and we may not feel it, but in the north and remote inland areas, many people really can't survive, and now there is only one fuse. "

Governor Li spoke earnestly.

Zhang Hao shook his head subconsciously: "Governor Li, I still don't quite understand it. The present is not an ancient society. We have millions of armed National Guards. Are we still afraid of turmoil?"

In the era of hot weapons, it is useless to have more people.

"Zhang Dong, you have overlooked a question."

"what is the problem?"

"The current extreme night environment is the most suitable for guerrilla warfare. No matter how strong the National Guard is, it can only stay in the city, and the risk of going out to perform missions is very high.

In addition, the transportation system is also a fatal hidden danger, whether it is a railway or a road, it is very easy to be destroyed by human beings..."

Zhang Hao couldn't help but interrupted: "I'm going, I didn't consider such an obvious reason."

Once the traffic between various places is cut off, if there is bad weather again, it will be called every day, and the ground will not work, so we can only stare blankly.

It's no wonder that the energy crisis in the dream lasted for three full years. It wasn't the federal army's intentional delay, it was really powerless.

"Zhang Dong, you are called the black under the lamp."

Governor Li replied casually.

Zhang Hao hurriedly asked: "Governor Li, if a war really breaks out, according to your logic just now, the blitzkrieg might be very difficult. Wouldn't the war have to be long-term?"

"It's better to prolong the war... than to have a war at home. As the old saying goes, 'Keep the enemy at bay and stop the disease at its infancy'. For now, this is the best choice."

"The best option is not to fight."

Zhang Hao shook his head.

"Hehe, Chairman Zhang seems to dislike war?"

Governor Li was a little curious.

Zhang Hao nodded, and asked on the spot: "War is not good for me, why should I support war?"

"How can it be no good? Mr. Zhang, you have so many companies under your name, and you will definitely be able to enjoy the dividends of the war."

Governor Li put on a natural expression.

"I don't deny this, but I am more afraid of losing control of the company than the dividends of war."

Zhang Hao said bitterly.

Mayor He quickly relieved: "Mr. Zhang, you are overthinking. Under normal circumstances, it is almost impossible for this to happen, unless the war hits the mainland again."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this." Zhang Hao waved his hand, and then changed the subject: "Mayor He, I forgot to ask last time, how did the city talk with the food department? How much fish can we get?" ?”

"It's all tears when I say it, not even 1%."

Mayor He sighed deeply.

"What about the state?"

Zhang Hao then looked at Governor Li.

Governor Li also sighed: "We don't have many, only 2.2%, which is better than nothing!"

"Cough, it's quite a lot. This time the fish catch is about 400 million tons, and 2.2% is 8.8 tons. If it is divided equally according to the head, everyone can get two catties."

Zhang Hao gave a word of comfort.

Governor Li finally showed a smile when he heard the words: "This time it is indeed a bumper harvest. It is eight times more than the last time, which is too unexpected."

"400 million tons, I really dare not even think about it."

Mayor He followed with emotion.

"This time, the main reason is that the disaster relief on the shore is coming to an end, and a large number of ships have been vacated suddenly. This is the result of the current harvest. If the original plan is followed, half of them will be considered high-spirited." Zhang Hao explained.

Governor Li nodded: "The disaster relief operation has lasted for a whole year, and it is indeed time to end. It's just a pity that the other side is such a good place. If you need oil, you have oil, you need coal, you need coal, and you need grain. It lacked nothing, and turned into a wasteland."

"I don't think the other side is considered wasteland. At least mining is okay. Once the Middle East changes, in order to solve the energy gap, the other side will definitely usher in a new wave of development."

Zhang Hao has a well-thought-out plan.

The reason why the energy crisis in the dream will end is that apart from the slowdown in the situation in the Middle East, there is another factor, that is, the development of the opposite shore has achieved initial results, greatly getting rid of the dependence on Middle East energy.

"Development trend?" Governor Li frowned, "I'm afraid it's not that easy? Although the scale of the eruption of Huangshi volcano has weakened a lot, it is still erupting. How can we develop in such an environment?"

"The Yellowstone volcano is close to the west coast, while the energy mining areas on the other side are mainly concentrated on the east coast. The distance between the two places is more than 2000 kilometers, and the impact is not great."

Zhang Hao quickly explained.

In particular, the Appalachian Coalfield, located in the Appalachian Mountains in the east, has a coal-bearing area of ​​18 square kilometers and spans nine states. The thickness of the coal seam is 900 meters, and the proven reserves exceed 2500 billion tons.

It is the largest coal mine in the Federation, with unlimited mining potential. The only trouble is that it is two to three hundred kilometers away from the coastline, and the local infrastructure needs to be rebuilt.

This is not a small investment, and it takes time. Without continuous construction for more than ten years, large-scale mining cannot be achieved at all.

The real solution to the urgent need depends on the oil wells in Texas and New Mexico.

According to data from previous years, the daily oil production of the two states exceeded 700 million barrels, accounting for almost half of the oil production on the other side.

More importantly, the oil transportation pipelines in these two states have not been damaged on a large scale, and they can still be put into use after proper maintenance.

This undoubtedly saves a lot of time.

Governor Li became interested in an instant: "Could you tell me more about it, Mr. Zhang? If the opportunity is right, we might as well get involved. Not only can we make profits, but we can also take control of the energy initiative. It can kill two birds with one stone."

"Governor Li, energy is now the lifeblood of the federation, and private individuals will never be allowed to get involved. I have no chance, but the state can give it a try."

"Appreciate further details!"

Governor Li and Mayor He looked at each other, and both of them saw that they were about to move in each other's eyes.

"It's actually very simple." Zhang Hao paused, and said frankly: "The state can take the lead and go directly to invest in oil wells in Dezhou on the other side. Try to give priority to offshore oil wells, and then consider land oil wells."

Offshore oil wells do not require oil pipelines, and oil can be extracted as long as the drilling platform is driven there, which has the characteristics of low initial investment and short profit cycle.

"Oil wells off the coast? I made a note."

Governor Li nodded.

He quickly thought of the various advantages of offshore oil wells, and it had to be said that the opponent's head was very active.

Mayor He stared into Governor Li's eyes: "Old Li, let's cooperate together? Zhucheng has become more and more powerful recently, we can't just give in."

"There's no rush for this matter. Let's call Lao Zhou and the others over later, and let's sit down and discuss."

Governor Li smiled and nodded.

"Let's forget about Lao Zhou, and Lao Liu, both of them are in the special zone, and they are not from the same way as us. There is no way for the fishery company to get around them."

Mayor He said reluctantly.

The big cities in Zhuwan District are clustered together, and the competition among them is very fierce. As the capital of Guangdong Province, Huicheng dreams of overwhelming these two young people.

"I'm talking about Lao He, I'm not talking about you. When is this, and you still can't let go of your prejudices? When facing the common enemy of the Federation, we should be on the same front and work together.

Besides, whether it is Shencheng or Xiangcheng, they are all established financial centers. We are short of money, and we have to rely on the two of them to raise funds. "

Governor Li tried his best to persuade him.

"Well, it's cheaper for them."

Mayor He had no choice but to compromise.

……

Ten minutes later, the welcoming ceremony officially began.

Compared with the previous one, although the harvest this time was eight times more, there were also a lot more casualties, including many local crew members.

Since the participation of several other big states, there have been a lot of local sailors in the fleet, which is inevitable. After all, there must be brave men under heavy rewards.

The treatment of the fishing company is notoriously superior, and some people are not afraid of death. If they are not open to the local people, they may be in big trouble.

After the solemn welcoming ceremony was over, Zhang Hao hurriedly summoned the company's senior management and began to formulate the third phase of the sea-going plan, taking advantage of the presence of Governor Li and Mayor He.

There is no rush, according to Old Angel, the fishery resources in the Southern Ocean are depleting faster than expected, and the third phase of the plan may be the last phase.

"Old Cao, after such a long time of preparation, how many ships can be added in the third phase of the plan?"

"The resources of fishing boats are relatively tight, and there can only be 53 more ocean-going fishing boats at most. Including the original fishing boats, the total tonnage has exceeded 100 million tons.

On the other hand, on the freighter side, it can be directly increased to more than 500 million tons, and any more will be a waste. "

Vice President Cao quickly took out his notebook to report.

Zhang Hao frowned: "What's going on? There are hundreds of shipyards in our southeast coast, big and small. It's been almost half a year since June, and they've built so few ships?"

"Mr. Zhang, I really can't blame me for this matter. Led by the WFP, they also formed a fleet of ocean-going ships and grabbed many orders from our company."

Vice President Cao quickly explained.

"What? We have to hand in all the fish, why are they building a fleet? Isn't this a waste of resources?"

Zhang Hao expressed his dissatisfaction seriously.

"Zhang Dong, calm down first." Governor Li persuaded, and then guessed: "Food Administration abandons us and starts a new one. I don't care about two reasons."

"How?" Zhang Hao hurriedly asked.

"The first reason is that they don't want to pay us too much for the goods. This is not a small amount. It adds up to hundreds of billions. If it were me, I would feel distressed;
As for another reason, although our family was bitten severely and gave up most of the fish, the remaining part is still considerable, and it is normal for people to be reluctant. "

Governor Li said slowly.

Zhang Hao was so angry that he cursed: "It's too much to bully people. If I knew this was the case, I should have added a clause to the contract that they were not allowed to form a fleet."

"Mr. Zhang, based on the strong position of the WFP, it is impossible for them to agree." Mayor He shook his head.

"Old Cao." Zhang Hao reacted quickly, and turned to look at Vice President Cao: "When did this happen? Why didn't you notify me of such a big event?"

"Hey, Mr. Zhang, it's not that I don't want to inform you, it's that you're too busy. Didn't we agree before that when you're not here, I'll be in charge of everything in the company.

Besides, even if you are notified, it will be useless. The WFP is backed by the Federation, and those shipyards dare not disobey their orders. We cannot fight them. "

Vice President Cao pretended to be innocent.

When Zhang Hao saw this, he immediately realized that something was wrong. He asked Governor Li in a low voice:
"Governor Li, isn't Lao Cao one of your people? What's going on with him?"

"Mr. Zhang, people are subject to change. If I expected it to be correct, looking at Lao Cao's confident appearance, there is a high probability that he was bought by the Food Administration. After all, the fishery company does not last long. He probably wanted to find a better one. retreat."

Governor Li analyzed.

In fact, this incident has long been a sign. Since Lao Cao was transferred to the fishery company, he has not only made a lot of money, but also gained a lot of connections.

It made everyone in the state capital jealous to death.

Lao Cao should know that it is difficult to go back to the state capital, so he chose to accept the olive branch of the food agency.

Zhang Hao clenched his fists hard, and said with self-blame, "It's all my fault. I was too careless. I thought I just had to wait to collect the money, but someone took advantage of me."

"Mr. Zhang, take a closer look. There is no WFP, and there are other ocean-going fleets. Besides, isn't there still 53 fishing boats? At least they haven't done everything right."

Governor Li tried to persuade.

"Well, this is the end of the matter, and this is the only way to go." Zhang Hao sighed, then changed the subject, gritted his teeth and said, "However, Lao Cao, a traitor, cannot stay any longer. When the meeting is over, I will let him Get out, does the state have any objections?"

"No problem, you can do whatever you want."

Governor Li waved his hand.

"Well, it's almost the end of the year, and I'm about to give out this year's year-end bonus! Since Lao Cao is not benevolent, don't blame me for being unrighteous."

Zhang Hao said angrily.

Governor Li warned softly: "Forget about the year-end bonus, try not to tamper with the salary, keep a line of life, so that we can meet each other in the future, everyone can get together and get together, there is no need to tear your face."

"I understand, he won't lose a penny. Besides, compared with salary, the year-end bonus is the big one."

Zhang Hao finally calmed down a little.

"Okay, this matter is over, let's continue the meeting!"

Governor Li reached out and patted the opponent's arm.

ps: Ask for recommended tickets and monthly tickets!
