Chapter 1701, you can also be a big dog in the future
"You kid took the initiative to come to me, you must have no good intentions."
Zhang Mao looked at Liu Jin, thought for a while and said.
"Old Zhang, what you said is as if I have lied to you before."
Liu Jin was speechless immediately. Why did Lao Zhang become more and more confused as he got older and even said that I had no good intentions?
"Didn't Persia lie to me and make me invest tens of millions of taels of silver? Now that I mention this matter, I am almost becoming a joke in the whole capital."
"I am considered a shrewd person, and I never thought of falling into trouble on this land."
Zhang Mao looked at Liu Jin, as if you just cheated me and wanted to make up for it.
"Old Zhang, let's do this. No matter how much money you invested, it will all be mine. How about giving me this colony in the Persian Gulf?"
Liu Jin finally turned against Zhang Mao after seeing him. It was the same old Zhang who had begged and cried to show him a way to make a fortune, but now he said that he had tricked him.
"no way!"
"This is my inheritance for future generations. How can I just sell it like this?"
"Hey, you kid, hurry up and tell me honestly, what kind of treasure is there in the Persian Gulf?"
Zhang Mao fell out of favor faster than turning over a book. Liu Jin took the initiative to come to him and mentioned the colony in the Persian Gulf. There must be something he didn't know about it.
"Lao Zhang, just tell me how many shares you want to give me."
"If you are not willing to cooperate with me, I will go to Li Dongyang. I think he will be happy to cooperate with me..."
Liu Jin looked at Zhang Mao, who was like an old fox, and said directly.
"Give me 10 million taels of silver, and I'll give you 10% of it."
Zhang Mao thought, once the lion's mouth is opened, it will be ten million silver.
"Farewell~"
"Just pretend I haven't been here."
When Liu Jin heard this, he immediately stood up and said, "Old Zhang, you are not being kind. If you had known that you would not have spent 10 million taels of silver to occupy this colony, besides, there are many oil-producing places. Beihuanghuang"
There is a lot of oil here in Taiwan, but I'm afraid there won't be any.
"You brat, you brat, come back, come back~"
"We can discuss it carefully."
Seeing that Liu Jin was about to leave, Zhang Mao quickly grabbed Liu Jin with a smile, and then said in a low voice: "You should let me make a little money. I have invested so much money to build a colony, and it has cost a lot of money."
."
"Isn't it too much to double it by more than ten times?"
"Lao Zhang, if it's more than a dozen times, go ahead and turn over the sand slowly. I think in a few years, it might even be a few hundred times more."
Liu Jin was speechless, and he doubled it more than ten times. If I didn't say that there is oil underground and there is no professional exploration and mining, you would not be able to make any money in eight lifetimes.
"Okay, okay, I can't beat you. Anyway, you let me occupy this land. How about this, you give me five million taels of silver and take half of the shares. Is this the head office?"
Zhang Mao had no choice. Although he knew that there might be a treasure in this place but he couldn't find it himself, he could only give half of it to Liu Jin.
Who could make him incapable of discovering the treasure here? You must know that Zhang Mao sent people to dig three feet into the colony, but found nothing except sand.
"That's pretty much it."
"Let me tell you, I'm not the only one in this. There are also shares of His Royal Highness in it."
"We have established a Daming Petroleum Trading Company, and this bank will become a shareholder when the time comes."
Liu Jin nodded with satisfaction and then began to speak.
"Da Ming Petroleum Trading Company?"
When Zhang Mao heard this, he immediately frowned and started thinking.
"What kind of oil is this oil?"
"The oil in the stone? What's the use?"
It was no surprise or strange that Liu Jin would bring the prince with him if he had a chance to make a fortune. What he found strange was the oil.
What kind of oil is this?
"Oil is fire oil, the dark kind."
Liu Jin smiled and replied.
"Oh, fierce fire oil,."
When Zhang Mao heard this, he knew immediately. He had been in the army, so he naturally knew the necessary fire oil in the army.
"What kind of fortune can this thing make?"
"Although fierce fire oil burns very fiercely, it is because it burns so fiercely that it cannot be used as fuel. Moreover, it burns very smelly and smokes loudly. It is not as good as whale oil."
"Aside from being used for fire attacks, it doesn't have much use. It's not valuable at all."
"That's because it has not been distilled and refined. After distillation and refining, petroleum can be refined into various things. Some of the oils are very suitable for lighting. They are very stable when burning, and there is no smoke. , and there will be no smell.”
"Of course, this is not the most important use. The real biggest use is to use it as fuel for internal combustion engines."
Liu Jin smiled and said.
"internal combustion engine?"
"What is this?"
When Zhang Mao heard this, he felt doubtful again and asked quickly.
"This is a machine newly developed by the School of Mechanical Engineering. It can replace the steam engine. It is more powerful and more stable. The key is that it is more convenient and convenient. When it is used on a large scale in the future, its role will be very great and it will require a lot of oil. .”
Liu Jin once again explained what an internal combustion engine is.
"I see. In this case, the Persian Gulf contains a lot of oil?"
Zhang Mao seemed to understand but he quickly grasped the key information.
"Yes, the Persian Gulf should be the place with the most oil reserves in the world. This is why I asked Mr. Zhang to go and occupy some colonies here in advance."
"Occupying these places is equivalent to occupying oil, and you can collect money later."
Liu Jin nodded solemnly and said.
"You brat, you need to pay more!"
"With such important resources, if you want to take half of the shares for only five million taels of silver, I will lose money to death."
"Old Zhang, how can you, a man who keeps your word, break your trust just for a little money?"
"Bah, don't put your hat on me. You have to pay more, otherwise I won't agree."
"Old Zhang, you can't do it anymore. You just agreed to something, and now you're going to fall out."
"Then I won't provide technology anymore. Even if you have oil, you won't be able to buy it for a penny."
"You are a very powerful kid. You can handle me very well. I know that I won't be able to gain any advantage by taking advantage of you."
"By the way, is this oil really going to be very profitable?"
"Don't worry, I'll keep it safe for you, Mr. Zhang, and just sit back and collect the cash from now on."
""
An hour later, Liu Jin left the British government palace.
"You still want to ask me to pay more, but there is no way. I can't control you. I should return it to Liu Jin, who is worthy of his status as a time traveler."
Sitting on the four-wheeled carriage, Liu Jin also had a smile on his face. Lao Zhang has done it now. The next step is to get rid of Li Dongyang. He also got some shares from him. From now on, he can also become a big dog owner. Making money.
Without stopping, Liu Jin went straight to Li Dongyang's house.
Li Dongyang was also surprised to learn that Liu Jin came to visit him.
This Liu Jin would never take the initiative to visit anyone. He was a lazy person. This time, the sun came out in the west and he took the initiative to visit him.
In the living room of the Li Mansion, compared to Zhang Mao's luxury, Li Dongyang's family seems extremely poor. The decoration in the living room is quite simple, with just a few calligraphy and paintings, all painted and written by Li Dongyang himself, and the tables
The chairs are also of ordinary quality, unlike Zhang Mao who uses mahogany.
"Mr. Li, your home is too cold."
Liu Jin looked at Li Dongyang's house, and then at Li Dongyang. Li Dongyang's health was getting worse day by day. Now he was often unable to go to court in the morning. He had wanted to resign from his job a long time ago and take care of his retirement.
"I can't help it, I'm not as good at making money as Liu Jin is."
"There are many places where money is used at home. Anyway, I am getting older. I can save as much as I can on food and clothing. Money should still be used wisely."
Li Dongyang smiled and replied.
Liu Jin also knew a little about his situation. The Li family itself was not a wealthy family. Li Zhaofan was setting up a colony in the Persian Gulf, and now he and Liu Jian's family were going to Siberia to hunt for treasures. Naturally, their money was tight.
Very.
"What's the reason you came here this time?"
"I heard that your family has a colony in the Persian Gulf, and I was wondering if I could buy some shares?"
Liu Jin didn't talk nonsense and spoke directly.
"Oh, you're interested in our colony in the Persian Gulf?"
When Li Dongyang heard this, he immediately became energetic. Liu Jin was someone who would never make a loss-making business. Since he came to him and wanted to invest in his own colony, it meant that his colony was indeed as he said at the beginning.
There must be some treasure.
"Li Gong, let's not talk secretly in front of people. This colony of yours has great potential. I am very optimistic about it. Let's see what percentage of the shares I can give away and how much money it will cost.
"
Liu Jin also began to talk in detail with Li Dongyang. Of course, he would not talk about oil first.
"Since you have reached an agreement with the British father-in-law, how about I do the same and give you half of the five million taels of silver?"
An hour later, after Li Dongyang thought for a long time, he gritted his teeth and made the conditions.
This Liu Jin is really a cunning fox. No matter how he talks, he never says it. He has no choice but to give up part of his shares. This colony in the Middle East has really dragged the Li family down.
, that is, there was a war in the Middle East recently, so the Li family made some money and came back.
But this is a desert area, with sand everywhere and no water. To be honest, I really don’t know what is there about this place that is worthy of investment.
"Haha, okay, that's settled then."
When Liu Jin heard this, he immediately laughed happily. The two families had reached an agreement. From now on, they can make money while lying down, and future generations can also enjoy the happiness of a wealthy family.
Immediately, Liu Jin began to talk to Li Dongyang in detail.
