Xu Chuan, who had fallen asleep in a daze in the early hours of the morning, was woken up by a phone ringing. He lived in the old man's courtyard house. There was a house here that he had lived in when he was a child. It had been kept by him. The furniture and decoration inside had not changed.
However, he is still the same as when he first entered junior high school.
He picked up his company's phone from the bedside and pressed the answer button. "You'd better be in trouble, otherwise I'll crawl along the phone line and kill you." He spoke in English. He knew that this phone could do something.
Most of the people who contact me are not in China.
There was a chuckle from the opposite side, and the voice of Koko Hekmadia said, "You still have such a bad temper."
Xu Chuan was still in a state of confusion. He rarely allowed himself to sleep so deeply, so he was very angry at someone interrupting this luxurious enjoyment.
"It's you." Xu Chuan got up from the bed with difficulty and patted his face to wake himself up.
I fumbled in the darkness to put on my slippers, stood up and pushed the door open and walked out. The yard was soaked in moonlight at night, and the occasional buzz of insects came from nowhere. In the capital city at the end of September, the night temperature had begun to drop.
, a gust of wind blew by, making Xu Chuan sober up a lot.
"What's the matter so late?", he didn't think that Kou Kou would ignore the time difference between the two places.
The voice over there seemed to be very excited, "There is good news. I think I should tell you as soon as possible. Oil has been found in the oil field that the company has photographed. The experts you invited estimated that the oil and gas reserves exceed 60 million tons."
Xu Chuan nodded upon hearing this. It seems that this oil field has not changed much. Although a 60-million-ton oil and gas field is not considered large, it is at least a good start and cooperation with all parties can continue.
You must know that 49 billion barrels of oil reserves have been detected in the Caspian Sea, and it is estimated that there are at least 20 billion barrels of unexplored oil reserves. This scale of oil reserves is second only to the Persian Gulf.
Offshore oil fields are different from those on land. The exploration stage of oil fields on land is actually to directly open a few wells. If there is oil, you can directly build development wells around it. The more wells are opened, the more accurate the reserves calculation will be.
But what is different at sea is that unless it is integrated drilling, it is not possible to explore and develop at the same time, and factors such as economic benefits must be considered to decide whether to exploit, so there will be a certain cycle.
"Don't get involved in production matters, let professionals take charge. I'm going to North Africa before the end of the year. I want to take advantage of the chaos to seize a few more oil fields." Xu Chuan calculated the time and should be able to produce oil in the Caspian Sea before the end of the year.
Once the oil is in, Umbrella’s energy layout will truly begin.
"I have asked the company to start increasing orders for LNG carriers and oil tankers." This woman is still so sharp, but this is the advantage of HCLI, a shipping giant.
LNG is the abbreviation of liquefied natural gas. There are very few shipbuilding companies that can manufacture this type of ship that can transport liquefied natural gas at a low temperature of -163°C. Currently, it is basically monopolized by South Korea.
"Smart approach." Xu Chuan couldn't help but praise. Oil transportation in the Caspian Sea is mainly through oil pipelines. The transportation advantages of HCLI cannot be brought into play. This is not the case in North Africa. A large amount of oil and gas resources need to flow through maritime transportation lines.
worldwide.
And when the time comes, there is no need to hire people from other companies for the armed escorts of the ship. Umbrella will just recruit enough manpower, and then it will be able to compete with the several security groups in the Republic of China for maritime business.
Of course, these are still far away, and it will take at least one to two years. At present, Umbrella's size is impossible to compete with those large security groups, and Xu Chuan's ambition is not at all.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Chuan couldn't sleep at all. This incident was indeed a happy thing, but it would be great if he could be notified at a normal time.
It was just 3:30 in the morning. Tsk, this damn woman, she definitely did it on purpose.
He didn't want to go out for a walk at this time. With his work-minded physique, he would definitely encounter something. Why bother asking for trouble? He went back to the house and lay on the bed, looking at the roof with burning eyes in the dark.
, without a trace of sleepiness.
Early the next morning, Xu Chuan went to Xu Ziwen's home. To a certain extent, this was also his home. At least there was a room for him on the second floor. However, after graduating from junior high school, he never came back.
Pass.
"If Xu Jiwen has any objections to this matter, just ask him to come to me directly." Xu Chuan was sitting in the living room, and Zhang Qi was sitting opposite. They were discussing Xu Ziwen's problem.
Zhang Qi smiled when he heard this, "It's not that serious. With you watching her, I feel relieved." Zhang Qi did not talk to Xu Chuan about Xu Jiwen. It was best not to mention this person between the two of them.
.
"Well, you can register a studio for them and put it under your company's name. You can find the manager. You have more experience in this industry than me. I will provide the works. When I go back, I will find someone to provide them with the work."
Let them train her and find something for that girl to do, so that she can always surprise everyone."
Zhang Qi nodded, "Okay, I'll find someone to handle the studio, manager, and assistant. I can also find someone to help with the production of the song."
"That's great. I'm still thinking about who to ask for help. It would be best if you have some connections." The recording of a song does not just require the sheet music in Xu Chuan's hand. Arranging is always a hurdle that cannot be overcome.
, Xu Chuan felt that it would be difficult for him to restore the original arrangement by himself.
As he was talking, the doorbell rang suddenly, and the nanny came over to open the door. A middle-aged man in his forties came in from the door. His face was 60% similar to Zhang Qi's.
"Ogawa is here too," a joyful and flattering voice sounded.
Xu Chuan looked at Zhang Qi who was a little embarrassed, stood up and prepared to leave, "I'm leaving first."
"Brother, why are you here?" Zhang Qi frowned and looked at his brother.
Xu Chuan didn't want to pay attention to the purpose of this person coming here. He just glanced at him indifferently, walked past this person, opened the door and walked out.
"Hey, this kid", the visitor didn't seem to want to give up, but was pulled back by Zhang Qi, "Zhang Ming, what are you doing?"
Zhang Ming looked at his sister angrily, "Why is he still like this? I am his uncle after all."
Zhang Qi felt dizzy for a while, "Are you out of your mind? Xiaochuan's uncle's surname is Deng. Don't you know?"
"You have been married to Xu Jiwen for so many years, how can we be considered a family?"
Zhang Qi almost laughed out loud, "Tell me what's going on." Based on his understanding of this brother, this man definitely came here because of Xiaochuan. After thinking about it deeply, how did he know that Xiaochuan was here?
At home, Zhang Qi's eyes changed slightly and she looked at the nanny who was cleaning up in the living room.
