Chapter 44: Everett Lee De Gaulier
Although you already own the entire Tampico land, owning the land is only the first step.
The second step is how to find oil underground in Tampico. Pearson searched in Tampico for a few years, but only mined some oil wells that could not be sprayed and had poor oil quality. Yan Guang would not think that he could drill somewhere and drill it out.
For this reason, Yan Guang went to Mexico City specifically and hired a group of experts and oil workers to come back from there.
Although these experts are a bit suspicious of being selected, in order to deserve the salary Yan Guang paid, they soon found a worthwhile position for Yan Guang in Tampico, but a few days later...
"This is the so-called inferior crude oil, right?" Looking at the oil in the oil barrel, Yan Guang actually laughed at several experts.
Yan Guang had long been mentally prepared for this, so although the first drill was not successful, Yan Guang did not feel disappointed.
No matter what, if you can drill out oil, it means there is oil underground in Tampico, and as long as there is oil, it will be easy to deal with.
Seeing that the boss was not angry, several experts arrived and put some snacks on it. Then they chose several locations for Yan Guang, but the drilled out of these locations were like the first oil well, and they were all inferior crude oil. As for self-spraying, there was no need to expect it.
These inferior crude oil can only be used as asphalt paving, but in Mexico, Dohani's Petroleum Company has already been in this industry. In other words, Yan Guang has not even made a penny.
At this time, Yan Guang finally understood why Pearson wanted to commit suicide. He sat in the office every day and watched various expenses but failed to make any payments. Yan Guang had only been sitting for two months, and Pearson had been sitting for four years...
In the past two months, because Yan Guang would return to Mexico City every half a month to send a telegram to Song Dinghan to report his safety, so soon all Mexico explorers knew that a Chinese businessman named Yan Guang bought Pearson's land with only inferior crude oil.
Now Yan Guang, a Chinese, has become a laughing stock in the mouths of Mexican prospectors. At the same time, he and the land he owns have also become a very popular joke among prospectors.
Of course, while telling this joke, these prospectors also reached a consensus that Tampico does not have large oil fields, and Mr. Pearson is a lucky person because he found a Chinese as his scapegoat...
At this time, Mr. Pearson's face showed a happy smile because he had already settled all his debts.
A month later, there were a few more oil wells on the land of Tampico. Of course, these oil wells were the same as those in the previous ones, and they were all useless oil wells.
At this time, although Yan Guang was sure that there was oil in Tampico's land, he became irritated.
That's right, Yan Guang has always believed that Tampico has a large amount of oil, but if this oil cannot be mined or cannot be found, it would be equivalent to not being there.
And it is now 1910. In a year, it will be the time when the road protection movement breaks out, and in a half year, it will be the Wuchang Uprising...
If the oil was explored only at that time, what's the use of Yan Guang finding the oil underground in Tampico? It's impossible to use money to buy all the people in Sichuan, right?
"Why doesn't oil come out..." Yan Guang sighed again at the oil well standing alone outside the window.
――――――――――――
Seeing that Yan Guang's face was obviously much thinner than when he came, Wang Er was also a little anxious.
Although Wang Er has not understood the words of those foreign experts in the past few months, he still can see clearly the shaking of his head and sighing and frustrated expression. Yan Guang's usual words also made Wang Er understand the current predicament.
Although Yan Guang caused Wang Er’s five brothers to die a year ago, even he was shot himself, which made Wang Er feel a little worried from beginning to end. However, during the period when Wang Er was working under Yan Guang, Yan Guang always treated Wang Er as his own person, and never hid some things from him. He even asked his husband to teach him to study...
Gradually, Wang Er got used to his current identity.
Although Wang Er can't do the sage to die for his confidant now, he really wants to relieve Yan Guang's worries.
However, although Wang Er read some books when he was studying in Sichuan, there was no way to help Yan Guang find oil in those books, so Wang Er could only be anxious here.
At this moment, the voice of a bodyguard suddenly came from outside.
"boss."
"What's up?"
"Those experts are here and say they want to see you if they have something to do!" There was a feeling of disdain in their words.
Now, the number 30 people brought by Yan Guang has completely regarded those experts as cheating money.
Although those experts have not drilled high-yield oil wells so far, they feel no guilt at all, because there is no large oil field underground in Tampico, which has spread throughout Mexico. In their opinion, it is naturally good to find it. If they can't find it, they can't blame them, because Tampico does not have large oil fields, and they cannot make a mistake out of nothing.
Moreover, as a white person, when facing Yan Guang, a yellow-like boss, these experts always have a sense of superiority, so although they have no achievements, they are also at ease to close the salary Yan Guang gave.
However, there was something they did when they came to Yan Guang today.
"Mr. Yan, this is Mr. DeGoril." One of the experts introduced after walking in with a young man.
"Hello, Mr. Yan." This young man named DeGoril was as superior as other experts, and said politely when he saw Yan Guang.
"Hello, is there anything wrong?" Yan Guang was a little confused when he looked at the young man in front of him.
At this time, the expert just now stood up and introduced again.
"Mr. DeGorill is a student of the Department of Geology at the University of Oklahoma and is also a petroleum geological explorer. This time I came here to work in Mr. Yan's company..." The expert stepped forward and took two steps. "Mr. DeGorill has a letter of recommendation from the Director of the Federal Geological Survey..."
"Oh?" Yan Guang looked at DeGorill with curiosity. "I don't know why Mr. DeGorill thought of my company?" Yan Guang knew that he had become a laughing stock in the mouths of the entire Mexican oil explorer.
DeGoril said a little unconfidently. "I have been to Tampico before and think there should be a lot of oil underground here..."
Hearing this, the experts curled their lips. In fact, when they heard this reason, they all felt that this young man was crazy because Tampico had no large oil fields, it was almost recognized in Mexico. However, since this guy had a letter of recommendation from the director of the Federal Geological Survey, they were also happy to recommend it.
However, Yan Guang stood up suddenly. "Do you really think so?"
"Of course." The young man with the full name Everett Lee DeGorill thought for sure. "I'm sure there must be oil here."
