"The territorial sea is based on 12 nautical miles of coastline. In fact, except for the Bo Sea, which is an inland sea, the country does not have territorial sea rights in the East China Sea, Yellow Sea, and South China Sea."
"However, these three sea areas are under the jurisdiction of the country. In theory, other countries have no rights to exploit resources in these sea areas. However, in recent years, the South China Sea, which has the most abundant oil and natural gas resources, has not produced even a barrel of oil.
However, to be precise, our country did not get a barrel of oil, but other countries received huge benefits."
Sitting in the secret conference hall of Pangu Base, Xue Gang stood in front of a holographic projection and felt sad.
In the conference hall, apart from Xia Lei and his group, there was only Xue Gang from Pangu Base, but there were two more old men who looked to be about sixty years old.
One of the old men looked gloomy and sighed: "Yes, North America has acquired the technology of outer space civilization, but we only got a small part from the other side. Moreover, the national economy and international situation also make us have too many concerns."
"Chairman, this is why I came to Xia Lei. You also know that he is from...well." Xue Gang did not continue.
"I know, but..."
The old man sighed helplessly and took a deep look at Xia Lei: "Xia Lei, Xue Gang just talked about the situation in the South China Sea, do you know what the situation is like there now?"
After pondering for a moment, Xia Lei stood up and said respectfully: "Chairman, after hearing what my senior brother said about this matter, I also checked the relevant information privately. It is said that six countries and seven parties are now grabbing resources in the South China Sea, and other countries have obtained the sky.
Of the big benefits, only our country doesn’t get any oil or water.”
"Then what do you think we should do? You know, on the surface it is six countries and seven parties, but there are actually many countries that are going to exploit resources."
"good!"
Xia Lei frowned and said helplessly: "On a deeper level, there are too many countries that are robbing resources. In the world of cultivation, we cannot move at all. If we move, we will be attacked by a group of people. In the secular world, our capable people
The strength of warriors should not be comparable to that of so many countries joining forces, I even guess..."
After a pause, he looked at Xue Gang and shrugged: "If my guess is right, we don't have that technology, right?"
"You're right. Many of our high technologies come from North America, but we don't have much in the way of ocean science and technology. There are many unsolved problems in deep-sea operations. Even if these countries don't fight for it, we don't have the technology. Is it possible for Xiu Zhen to do so?
Someone gets into the sea to help the country extract oil?" Xue Zhengzheng seemed to have remembered something, and his expression became extremely strange.
Indeed, cultivators are so superior that they will never do such a lowly thing. Anyone who dares to ask them to do so will be killed with a sword.
Xia Lei smiled bitterly in his heart, the big cake of Nanhai was not easy to swallow.
Not only are there external pressures, but there are also technical problems. Even if I don't care about my status as a cultivator, is it possible that I can drill into the sea and dig for oil all day long?
At this moment, another old man with a calm aura, giving people a feeling of spring breeze, stood up and said with a smile: "In the past two years, we finally obtained the ocean mining technology and are secretly building related equipment. What is missing now is the external environment."
security issues.”
"Um?"
Xia Lei suddenly became interested. The most troublesome of the two problems was the technical problem. Now that this aspect has been solved, things have fundamentally turned around: "Prime Minister, I am willing to join the mining plan."
The Chairman and the Prime Minister looked at each other out of the corners of their eyes, like weasels stealing chickens. Isn't this the purpose of their trip?
If they took the initiative and Xia Lei took the initiative, the results would be completely different.
Although his mind has matured a lot, Xia Lei still seemed too immature when it came to playing tricks with these politicians. As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he already realized that he had been deceived.
Spreading his hands with a wry smile, he said helplessly: "Okay, I admit that you two are better than me. Tell me the conditions. If it's too much of a disadvantage, I won't do it."
"All the funds you have are invested, and the safety is guaranteed by you, and you will eventually share 20% of the profits."
"Twenty percent?"
Before Xia Lei could say anything, someone quit. Sandy was the first to jump up and smash the long table in front of her into pieces with her palm. She rushed towards the chairman with her teeth and claws and wanted to grab his hair: "I want funds and guarantees."
Safe, only give us 20% of the profit? Old man, do you think I want to bully you? You are dead, I will punish you on behalf of the moon..."
Xia Lei grabbed her shoulders and pulled her back. Despite this, the little girl still dragged her forward, shaking her fist fiercely at the chairman.
He had long known Xian Di's identity from Xue Gang. As an outer disciple of the Xuanji Sect who held the position in one hand, how could he dare to offend this young aunt?
However, he did not have the slightest fear and shouted in a deep voice: "Although I am only an outer disciple of the Xuanji Sect, I am different from the people in the world of cultivation. As a person with Chinese blood, my goal in this life is to watch
The motherland is growing stronger. Everything I do is based on the interests of the country. Is this wrong?"
These words shocked everyone present. His unruffled and majestic righteousness made the little girl stop struggling.
After a long while, Xia Lei took a deep breath and took out two marrow-cleansing pills from the few remaining ones: "It has nothing to do with profit. These two pills can help you enter the world of cultivation."
"No need, do you want me, a bad old man, to live for tens of millions of years? Has anyone seen an immortal president?"
The chairman's expression was peaceful, which was enough to make a person who knew about the existence of the world of cultivation and didn't have a constitution to go crazy for pills. In his eyes, there seemed to be no value at all. In the past, people like him who knew about the world of cultivation,
Which one doesn't have green eyes when seeing Marrow Cleansing Pill?
Everything I do is based on the national interest!
This sentence echoed in Xia Lei's mind. At this moment, he had to admit that not everyone was so greedy and selfish, at least not the two old people in front of him.
Taking back the Marrow Cleansing Pill and taking out the other two pills, Xia Lei said with a smile: "The most common Baochun Pill in the world of cultivation can make ordinary people's bodies healthier, their resistance greatly enhanced, and it can also make people live ten or twenty more years.
Years. Only when you are physically strong can you handle more things. This is also for the national interest, isn't it?"
The two looked at each other, and the chairman shook his head again and said: "I can't give up the interests of the country for my own interests, and be short-tongued and merciless. I still understand this truth."
"Twenty percent!"
Xia Lei forced the elixir into their hands and said solemnly: "No one asked you to give up your profits. I only want 20% of the profits. That's alright, right?"
Suddenly, the two of them stuffed the elixir into their mouths, with strange looks on their faces.
Be obedient...
Only then did Xia Lei realize that he had been deceived again, but what was certain was that the righteousness shown by the Chairman could not be fake, nor could anything he said be false.
Xue Gang laughed and walked over, patted Xia Lei on the shoulder, and said: "Okay, if you can really hold the entire South China Sea resources, 20% of the profit is an astonishing figure. Not to mention more, just the exploration
The proven oil and natural gas resources are worth trillions of dollars, but what about the unexplored ones? In addition, metal resources, biological resources, etc. can all be developed in cooperation with the state."
Xia Lei, who had been crying just now, came back to his senses, with a knowing smile on his face. Since the country is not strong enough to ensure security in terms of force, the development of various resources in the South China Sea must use itself.
The cost of acting as a high-level bodyguard is not low. Isn't it going to be a huge source of money and your hands will get cramps after counting the money?
Of course, he has remembered the methods of these two old guys. Next time when it comes to money issues, he must not be soft-hearted, otherwise he will wait to be calculated again!
Two old foxes...
After comforting himself by paying for a lesson, and giving them a fierce look, Xia Lei asked: "When will we start taking action? By the way, I have an exam in a few days, and I don't know much about the enemy. How can I say it?"
Do you need to tell me more details?"
"Of course, after so many years, there is no rush. Xue Gang will talk to you about the details."
Sensing Sandy's hostile gaze because her future husband was being plotted, the two old guys did not dare to stay here any longer. They wisely left the base on the grounds of 'an important meeting was held' and 'receiving foreign guests'.
Next, Xue Gang began to analyze the situation in the South China Sea with them. As the understanding deepened, Xia Lei found that things were getting worse and worse. The water in the South China Sea was just like the South China Sea itself - too deep!
What is hidden behind the Six Kingdoms and Seven Directions?
North America, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, etc., except for a few Southeast Asian countries that occupy many islands on the surface as a cover, almost include most countries in Europe and the United States. Of course, they can only be the latent forces behind the dispute over the ownership of the South China Sea.
They cannot stand out. After all, these countries do not border the South China Sea, so it is unjustifiable to openly compete for them.
However, the forces behind it will also participate. If you want to capture the resources of the South China Sea, you must face all the countries involved as enemies.
In Sandy's unconcerned eyes, the gold card that had been obtained from Xue Gang less than two months ago had all the funds taken away, leaving only a fraction of less than a hundred yuan.
Fortunately, the Iron Banner Gang took over the entire Qingfeng City. As the Yunjianmen attack strategy failed, the black and white businesses gradually got on the right track. In this way, with the current cultivation level of more than a thousand of his subordinates, they could pay huge salaries for the time being.
It's not a problem, but with their cultivation speed, I'm afraid they won't be able to last long.
money!
Xia Lei reluctantly discovered that money was so important to him now. If he had known this, he would not have said his salary was so high, so as not to shoot himself in the foot.
After leaving Pangu Base and returning to Qingfeng City, he immediately found Liu Quan.
The return on investment in Nanhai will take a long time, and the more than a thousand guys who have spiritual power cultivation methods, the faster they practice, the faster they practice. Therefore, it is necessary to increase revenue and reduce expenditure in the shortest time, otherwise let alone support a wife, even the salary will be lost
Who will believe your promise if you can't afford it?
As for when these guys one day break through the golden elixir stage and even have stronger cultivation, it's another thing to not value money. No matter what, they have to spend the money.
More than three hundred people were selected. The so-called selection does not mean selecting the strongest, but people who no longer adhere to certain principles. After all, except for more than a hundred little ruffians selected by Liu Quan, the others are all from the military
, not everyone can accept the underworld in a short period of time.
That night, Liu Quan gathered members of the Iron Banner Gang, and these people led the expansion of the gang...
