Chapter 212 All 200 million US dollars spent!
At the same time, on the sea at Prudhoe Bay on the north slope of Las Vegas, a team consisting of ExxonMobil, Schlumberger, Amos, and Atlantic Richfield A survey team composed of seven American energy giants, including Mobil Oil Company, Texaco Company, and Golf Oil Company, rode a marine survey ship and docked on a calm sea.
Here, it is not far from the coast, and the shore of Po Prudhoe Bay is not very far. From the boat, you can see the low plants nearby and the snow-capped mountains in the distance.
At this time, on the main ship of the survey team, more than a dozen representatives of various oil companies involved in the survey were nervously waiting for the results of more than a dozen drilling rigs.
More than a month ago, they discovered that there is a large amount of oil under the seabed not far from the shore, but they have not yet measured how much oil is stored.
After many days of preparation, they finally began to conduct a rigorous survey and estimate of the nearby sea area.
As soon as the drilling phase is completed or substantially completed, the reserves here can be calculated.
After extensive surveys, the edge of this submarine oil field has now been surveyed.
Once today's survey results come out and the thickness and area of the oil layer are determined, the storage capacity of this oil field can be roughly calculated.
"Gentlemen, all the drilling rig tasks have been completed and the data has been drawn." The person in charge of this survey strode into the ship's office and reported excitedly.
After more than a month of surveying, the results were finally known. How could this make him unhappy?
“The data is immediately transmitted to the beautiful country via telegram, allowing professionals to calculate its true storage capacity.” An ExxonMobil representative said directly.
"I have already informed people to send a telegram, and the data should be received by now." The general manager said with a smile.
"Show me, I have learned this knowledge and can estimate the approximate storage capacity." A representative of Amos Company on the side said with a smile.
The general manager handed him the data sheet.
Without saying anything, the Amos representative walked up to a calculator and started calculating.
In this era, calculators are relatively rare, but for a well-equipped survey ship, they are a must-have.
"I estimate that this oil field may have a storage capacity of more than 3 billion tons. The specific data will have to be calculated by professionals there, but my error will not exceed 20%." Amos The company representative raised his head and said with a smile.
Suddenly, everyone on the boat cheered. After completing this wave, their bonuses would be indispensable.
For them, the 3 billion-ton oil field is definitely one of the top oil fields in the world. Even if seven of their oil companies jointly develop such an oil field, they can still earn a lot of money. .
The hard work of more than a month has been worth it.
In the evening, professional estimates were also sent to the presidents of each company. The calculated results were just like those calculated by Amos Company. The total storage capacity was between 3 billion and 3.1 billion tons. .
Seven oil companies immediately held a meeting overnight and finally decided to officially release a joint statement at 3 p.m. the next day.
As a listed company, they are obliged to disclose all the company's operations to the outside world.
The discovery of the 3 billion-ton oil field can be said to have excited the leaders of these seven oil companies.
In this era, energy companies can be said to be the most profitable companies.
According to the latest market value ranking of listed companies, 10 of the top 20 listed companies in the United States are energy companies. It can be said that energy companies almost dominate the list.
In addition to No. 1 Telephone and Telegraph Company and No. 2 IBM, there are also No. 3, No. 4, No. 5, No. 6, No. 10, No. 11, No. 12, No. 14, No. 16, No. 10 Seven, they are all energy companies!
This shows how profitable energy companies are in this era.
The camera returned to the New York Exchange in New York City. As the bell rang, today's stock trading time finally stopped.
In the box, everyone put down their work and all had smiles on their faces. It was obvious that their tasks had been completed well. At this time, Su Cheng also walked in from the hall outside.
"How is it? How is the record? Uncle Zhang, come and report." Su Cheng asked Zhang Qizheng with a smile.
“The two hundred million U.S. dollars have been spent.” Zhang Qizheng was smiling, and he directly summarized today’s work situation in one simple sentence.
What he means is, of course, that the tasks of the seven companies have been completed.
"Very good. Now that the task is completed, I will give you a whole day off tomorrow. You have worked hard today, so give me a good rest. There will be more busy things for you to do the day after tomorrow!" Su Cheng said with satisfaction! Said to everyone.
According to Xiao Ai's news, seven oil companies will jointly issue an announcement at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. By then, the stocks of the seven companies will have a sharp rise.
However, this has nothing to do with Su Cheng, because he has no intention of abandoning it so early.
The real fighting time will be on the 28th/29th. At that time, it will be the time to harvest leeks in Sioux City.
"Thank you, boss!" Everyone cheered.
Everyone was concentrating today, but they were exhausted and really needed a rest.
“Tonight, I will take you to have a big dinner!” Su Cheng continued.
“Long live the boss!” Everyone cheered again.
Zhang Qizheng has rented the box for a month, so during this month, they have the right to use it.
Out of the box, Zhang Qizheng locked the door of the box, and then everyone walked out of the exchange together.
At around four o'clock, Wall Street was still very busy.
Here, countless financial companies and top financial talents gather.
Compared with Wall Street, although it is also one of the three major financial centers in the world, Hong Kong Central is still lagging behind.
In Lingnan Restaurant, a relatively famous Chinese restaurant on Wall Street, Su Cheng led a group of people and directly booked three private rooms.
Su Cheng, 10 bodyguards, plus 15 traders including Zhang Qi, a total of 26 people.
"Just order whatever you want to eat!" Su Cheng walked into the box and said to everyone with a smile.
Salt and pepper crab, a dish that has been praised by many media, is also one of the must-order dishes in Sioux City.
This is not their first time here in Su City, so they are quite familiar with this place.
"You have a holiday tomorrow, where are you going?" Su Cheng asked Zhang Qizheng who was sitting next to him with a smile.
"Let's go and sit with my old friend. I have been working here for a long time before I go back to Hong Kong. I finally come to New York and I will definitely get together." Zhang Qizheng replied with a smile.
Zhang Qizheng, who is nearly fifty years old, has more than 20 years of experience in Wall Street. He became Su City's subordinate five years ago, so he is naturally very familiar with everything here.
"It's not like you have an old friend, right? You have to be careful so that your aunt doesn't find out." Su Cheng joked.
"I'm a long time old, how can I still do this?" Zhang Qizheng said helplessly, this boss loves to joke.
