After the meeting with Liang Weilin, Zhang Zhonghua happily left the Hong Kong branch of Xinghua Society. Before leaving, he also took away some Dahongpao mother trees, which were specially prepared for the important guests who came to visit.
Although Zhang Zhonghua himself does not drink tea often, he prefers to drink tea with Coke, but this is the Dahongpao grown on the mother tree of Dahongpao, and it is an absolutely rare thing. It is indeed not comparable to Longjing and Pu'er.
As for the issue that Zhang Zhonghua came to negotiate, Zhang Zhonghua still holds some hope, but the hope is not particularly high. I can only say half and half.
The main purpose of Zhang Zhonghua's doing this is to remind him that he has no regrets. As for how things will develop in the future, that is not something that he, little Kalami, can interfere with.
The oil reserves and natural gas reserves in the southern sea area are very huge. The most important thing is that it is not very difficult to exploit the resources there. The various resources contained there can be said to be countless, and they can bring a lot of benefits.
According to later statistics from the Energy Information Administration of the Federal Department of Energy in America, proven oil reserves in the southern waters reached 7 billion barrels, and daily production was expected to reach 2.5 million barrels.
According to surveys by the American Geological Survey and other institutions, the natural gas reserves contained in the southern seas are at least double the oil reserves in the southern seas.
Even if the most optimistic estimates are not accepted, the total potential oil reserves in the southern seas are 55 billion tons and 20 trillion cubic meters of natural gas, which is said to be a huge treasure house of global oil, natural gas and other resources.
It is now 1971, and all countries in Southeast Asia are relatively backward.
Johor's GDP last year was US$3.86 billion.
Luzon's GDP last year was US$6.68 billion.
Java's GDP last year was US$9.15 billion.
Due to the war, Annan's GDP is even more pitiful. Although there is no accurate figure, it should be less than 300 million US dollars by then.
Nowadays, the economic pillar of various countries in Southeast Asia is basically agriculture.
In the more than ten years from 1986 to 2002, Annan State extracted 100 million tons of oil and 1.5 billion cubic meters of natural gas from the oil and gas fields in the Shanan Sea alone.
They relied on oil and gas development in the southern seas to replace domestic agriculture and became the largest pillar of Annan's national economy.
Johor will develop a total of 18 oil fields and 40 gas fields in the southern seas in the future, and the development scope will go as deep as 20 kilometers within the traditional boundary line of Yanxia.
In 1974, the State of Luzon conducted exploration in the southern waters and drilled a total of 37 wells, 7 of which were located within the traditional boundaries of Yanxia;
In 2001, Luzon State's deepwater gas field within the traditional boundaries of Yanxia was officially put into production. It is also the largest project with the most investment;
In 2003, the Ministry of Energy of Luzon State launched a new round of public bidding at sea, with nearly 100,000 square kilometers of the bidding area falling within the traditional boundaries of Yanxia;
In 2009, Luzon State explored oil and gas resources within the traditional boundaries of Yanxia...
When the world oil crisis broke out at the end of 1973, Luzon, Johor, Java, and Levin also wanted to increase oil resource exploration in the southern seas. These countries in Southeast Asia also began to rapidly take off based on oil resources.
Countries such as Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi, and Dubai also relied on their abundant domestic oil reserves to directly start their economic development in the 1970s and 1980s.
Countries in the East and Central regions have also begun to truly rely on their monopoly advantages in oil resources and are becoming richer and richer.
Of course, there are abundant oil reserves and there are constant wars in the central and eastern regions. After all, as an old saying goes, oil can easily breed mold.
Also, the largest oil and gas field owned by the Luzon State is the Malampaya oil and gas field. Unfortunately, that area does belong to the territorial waters of the Luzon State. However, the oil and gas field was only discovered at the end of the century, and it can still be operated.
space.
However, the development of the natural gas fields in Malampaya is relatively difficult. Natural gas is extracted from the southern sea more than 3,000 meters below sea level.
Moreover, the oil and gas extracted from the Malampa oil and gas field needs to be transported to Batangas, a port city on the southwest coast of Luzon Island, through more than 500 kilometers of pipelines before the next step can be carried out.
Of course, although the mining of Malampa is relatively difficult, it still brings huge returns to Luzon.
Thinking of the rich oil resources in the southern seas, Zhang Zhonghua is currently focusing a lot of energy on Holy Egg Island and building artificial islands. He doesn't have much energy to put in the southern seas. Of course, if he is allowed, that would be easy.
When the development of Holy Egg Island is completed, the waters near Holy Egg Island on the Asan Ocean will become Zhang Zhonghua's exclusive economic zone. If oil and gas resources can be discovered, it will be great.
Of course, Zhang Zhonghua is no longer very interested in Qian. After all, the huge amount of gold resources reserved by the Jade Emperor Group is a huge wealth.
Now that the global free market gold has reached 80 US dollars per ounce, his wealth has doubled just by relying on the appreciation of gold. The reason why Zhang Zhonghua hopes to enter the oil field is for one purpose, and that is the right to speak.
When Zhang Zhonghua returned to the villa to rest, the news that he had entered Xinghua Society openly had spread throughout the upper class society of Hong Kong Island.
In particular, various intelligence agencies on Hong Kong Island received the news immediately, and then all intelligence agencies became busy.
Central, Government House.
"Sir Sir David Lynch, we have just received news that Sir Zhang Zhonghua visited the Xinghua Society at Queen's Road East."
The intelligence officer hurriedly walked into Dai Linzhi's office,
"I know that Sir Zhang Zhonghua went to Xinghua Society. The amount of construction work on Holy Egg Island is very huge, and the amount of oil resources required every day is astronomical, so the Yuhuang Group wants to enter the oil field to reduce costs.
Sir Zhang Zhonghua had already discussed this matter with me before he went there. Nowadays, all countries are exploring oil resources in the southern seas, and the Yuhuang Group has the opportunity to participate only in the exploration in the Yanxia sea area.
However, I personally think there is no hope for this matter. Private companies will not be allowed to explore for oil resources there, so don’t worry about it.”
Dai Linzhi said with a smile.
"Sir Zhang Zhonghua is indeed a bit too whimsical this time, and oil resources are basically monopolized by various big families, especially the Rockefeller family, which occupies a large share. Others can only enter in a small way."
The intelligence officer also said with a relaxed look.
"Yes, it's true that we can only make a small fuss! However, the construction work of Sir Zhang Zhonghua's two islands is huge. This time, Java was given an advantage, and the Sutoha family made a lot of money."
Dai Linzhi said with some envy, Java and the Sutoha family really made a lot of money this time.
"However, this Sutoha may not be out of his mind because he actually disarmed his country's military and sent him to Holy Egg Island as a construction worker.
At the same time, Jade Emperor Infrastructure offered construction workers a monthly salary of US$25, but those soldiers only received US$10, which made Javanese military leaders and the Sutoha family make a huge fortune."
Dai Linzhi admired the Sutoha family and the Java Kingdom's saucy operations.
Also, whenever a foreign company enters Java to set up a company, they are blackmailed, either for shares or US dollars.
…
Central, Chonghua Society.
"President, we just received news that Mr. Zhang Zhonghua went to the news agency opposite. Mr. Zhang Zhonghua stayed there for more than 20 minutes and then left."
"Went to the other side? Did you come directly to visit?"
The person in charge raised his eyebrows and asked aloud.
"That's right, we went in openly and openly. We have no way of knowing what Mr. Zhang Zhonghua was talking about inside."
"Well, in that case, let's make a record and report it to the top. Since Mr. Zhang Zhonghua didn't sneak over covertly, it means that there shouldn't be anything too important to talk about.
By the way, how is the investigation of the personal information of the MCA who just came from 49 cities?"
The person in charge waved his hand nonchalantly and then asked.
"The situation regarding MCA has been clearly investigated. News coming back from Sijiu City shows that MCA entered the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill in 1959.
Later, he was accepted as a disciple by He Yuzhu, and his relationship with Mr. Zhang Zhonghua became closer.
After the Asian Associated Press stationed in Sijiu City, the person in charge of the Asian Associated Press in Sijiu City asked him to go to the Asian Associated Press branch. He Yuzhu often went to cook. This should be arranged by Mr. Zhang Zhonghua to take care of the two of them.
This time MCA came to Hong Kong Island only at the request of Zhang Zhonghua, and may take over the management of the restaurant in the hotel in the future.
To sum up, MCA should have no problem."
"Well, since we don't need to pay too much attention to MCA, let's list him as a third-level surveillance target.
But I have a question, that is, why didn’t Zhang Zhonghua invite He Yuzhu to Hong Kong Island? The relationship between the two of them is quite good."
The person in charge asked curiously.
"According to the survey results of our people in Sijiucheng, He Yuzhu is nostalgic and has a stubborn personality. Even if Mr. Zhang Zhonghua invites him, he will most likely be reluctant to leave the people in Sijiucheng to go to Hong Kong Island.
I think Mr. Zhang Zhonghua also understood this, so he did not invite He Yuzhu, but invited Ma Hua, He Yuzhu’s apprentice.”
The boss asked him not to pay too much attention to MCA, which made him relieved. The power of Jade Emperor Security was really too strong.
The bodyguard team around Zhang Zhonghua is even more powerful. In the past few years, more than a dozen of his people have been expelled from the sea.
As a person who has a close relationship with Zhang Zhonghua and can often see Zhang Zhonghua, MCA should have some strong security forces around him.
He didn't want to hear any more news about his men being reclaimed.
What he knew about Zhang Zhonghua was that he seemed polite and kind to others on the surface, but he was very aggressive towards those intelligence officers who were close to him, and he really couldn't afford to offend him.
Not only them, America, Mao Xiong and other intelligence agencies stationed on Hong Kong Island also immediately received the news that Zhang Zhonghua had entered Xinghua in an open and aboveboard manner. This information quickly spread from Hong Kong Island to all over the world.
Although it attracted some attention, I didn't pay too much attention to it because news came from the Hong Kong government that Zhang Zhonghua was going to Xinghua.
Many days have passed very quickly, and it has entered October. Zhang Zhonghua has been living a very comfortable life recently.
The only thing that made Zhang Zhonghua unhappy was the reply he received from Liang Weilin. His criticism of developing oil and gas resources in the southern seas was rejected. However, Zhang Zhonghua didn't pay too much attention to it. There was a 50-50 chance that he would be caught up. It was normal.
Of course, there is also good news, that is, Jade Emperor Records has officially released four of Zhang Zhonghua's albums in Japan.
After these four records were put on sale in Japan, they once again caused a huge sensation throughout Japan. Especially the song "Red Sun" was even more popular in the streets and alleys of Japan. In a commercial street from beginning to end, at least half of the shops were
Playing this song.
People from various countries in Southeast Asia once again saw Chang Zhonghua's influence in Japan. The sales of four records exceeded 10 million copies in just one week, of which "Red Sun" accounted for nearly half, with sales of nearly 5 million copies.
.
Japan's huge record market has refreshed the outlook of Southeast Asian record companies, and many Southeast Asian singers have also come to Japan to develop.
However, only Zhang Zhonghua, Teresa Teng, and Wang Mingquan have the best development in the Japanese record market. Jade Emperor Records is also a giant in Asia. Universal, Columbia, Sony, and PolyGram record giants also encountered Jade Emperor Records in Asia.
Shivering.
Just when Zhang Zhonghua was happy because of the huge sales of his album, bad news soon came. That is, the Luzon Navy occupied six islands including Huanma Island, Xinfei Island, and Yuenan Island, and stationed troops on these islands.
.
This made Zhang Zhonghua speechless. Luzon also took advantage of the critical period of the meeting to occupy six islands, and would later occupy more islands.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Ferdinand Marcos, the commander-in-chief of the Luzon State, was also a ruthless man. After he became the commander-in-chief of the Luzon State, he took over all the power. It can be said that he was a replica of Sutoha.
Luzon State originally adopted an American-style grand commander-in-chief system. The commander-in-chief was elected for four years and could only be reelected once. However, this did not prevent Marcos from occupying the position of commander-in-chief for a long time.
In order to rule Luzon for a long time and achieve the purpose of establishing the Marcos family, Marcos would later implement military control over Luzon for 10 years.
Of course, a new constitution was also promulgated, and Luzon changed to a John Bull-style responsible cabinet system, and the commander-in-chief could also hold the position of prime minister.
Marcos turned Luzon into a country like Java. The Marcos family, like the Sutoha family, not only held important positions in their family and cronies, but also monopolized various profitable industries in Luzon.
The Jade Emperor Group also has quite a few businesses in Luzon. It seems that it has entered a big pit and will be affected a lot.
However, if Luzon wants to forcibly expropriate the Jade Emperor Group's properties, then Zhang Zhonghua will have to consider how to give Luzon a break.
However, he cannot resist me, but newspapers and TV stations will definitely withdraw from the Luzon market.
In the whole month of October, Zhang Zhonghua was most satisfied with MCA. After more than a month of hard study, MCA has been able to officially start training. The rest is to explore on its own in the future.
In order to provide enough chefs for Shangri-La Hotel, Yuhuang Technical School established a culinary major in early September. Nearly a thousand middle school students entered Yuhuang Technical School to start learning cooking skills.
MCA also left the Jade King Building and now serves as the dean of the Jade King Technical School in Tseung Kwan O, where he also begins teaching students how to cook.
