Blooming America

Chapter 1147: view



In the chest of this business wizard is a fire that will never go out, and Hamer's life has never stopped surpassing. He reached the peak of his life's career in his later years, and Hammer's Occidental Petroleum Company became one of the "Seven Petroleum Sisters" dominating the world's oil industry.

After untold hardships in Libya, Occidental Petroleum successfully explored the Oguila oil field with a daily output of 100,000 barrels of high-grade crude oil and two huge oil veins. Occidental Petroleum became the owner of the largest local oil well with a daily output of 72,000 barrels of crude oil. . Then, Hammer acquired several large oil transportation, processing and sales companies in Europe, and became a famous oil tycoon in the West at that time.

With the outbreak of the oil crisis, Hammer's net worth has risen sharply in the past two years, doubling all of a sudden. Just talking about assets is not cheap.

Unlike speculators like Catherine, although people can't get tens of billions of dollars, it is still simple to have a net profit of more than one billion in a year.

"In my opinion, China must have very huge business opportunities. It is also a very good investment place to remove the hostility between countries. Her leader has a clear head, and she herself is also very good. Has potential."

Hammer nodded, agreeing with Catherine's opinion.

"China not only has potential, but also has business opportunities. Even in China now, I still think that this place has enough business opportunities and power for us to develop."

Catherine said.

"There is no bad business in the world."

Hamer said something like this, which is regarded as an identification with Catherine.

Catherine knew that this sentence could almost be said to be Hammer's experience in the Soviet Union.

Lenin's death on January 16, 1924 had a negative impact on Hamer's continued activities in the Soviet Union. Just when he was considering whether it was necessary to stay there, he walked into a shop casually and wanted to buy a pencil. The sales clerk brought him a pencil made in Germany.

In the United States, this pencil is only worth two or three cents, but in the Soviet Union it is worth 26 cents. Hamer graciously bought this pencil for a dollar. In his mind, he has connected this pencil with a million-dollar business.

Then, he immediately ran to ask Krasin, then the Soviet People’s Commissar of Education: “Has your government formulated a policy that requires every Soviet citizen to learn to read and write?”

"Of course. We think this is one of our basic tasks."

"If this is the case, I want to obtain a license to produce pencils."

That was how it was done, and Hamer didn't even know how to make a pencil at the time. He went to Germany and the United Kingdom, and huā hired experts who made pencils with a high salary. Hammer then returned to Moscow to select a site to build a factory. And that's how the world's largest pencil factory became.

"Yes, there is no bad business in this world. Commodities are one of the most important things in economic circulation. If China wants to develop, it must have a market economy, and if it wants to have a market economy, it cannot do without commodities. Just seize it. In response to the needs of the Chinese, we can also sell what the Chinese want."

When Hammer heard these words from Catherine, he was deeply impressed.

"But I am in China, and I feel a little puzzled... This is a bit similar to the Soviet Union where I have been, but it is not exactly the same."

"Of course it's different. For two thousand years, this place has been the center of world economy and civilization. They have a desire different from the Soviets..."

The Soviets are a fighting nation. It is relatively simple to grasp their thoughts. For such an infinite nation that can seal oil wells with nuclear bombs, Catherine will not say much. I believe that Hamer, who has spent so many years in the Soviet Union, has a deeper understanding of this than himself.

"Compared to the Soviet Union, the Chinese people's way of thinking is even more different from ours. They are mainly concerned about the relationship between people. The relationship between people is more...tactful than ours."

Catherine said.

"Euphemistically?"

Hammer was also thinking a little bit.

It can be seen that in the past two days, he might have encountered some things that he felt puzzled.

"The Chinese are good at dealing with the relationship between people. In the past thousands of years, they have developed civilization and a large population. Therefore, the relationship between people has become a very important thing that must be coordinated and handled well. aspect."

This is different from the West. Since ancient times, the population of the West has been much smaller than that of China, so the Western world doesn't care about this.

In any case, the relationship between people in the future era. It is very important in China.

Catherine in her previous life "has experience..."

But now Catherine doesn't care so much about this kind of thing. The West also treats humanity, but the performance between them is more straightforward, and it doesn't take much of your brain...

Hammer was thinking at this time.

At this time, Catherine couldn't help but look at this big capitalist who was robbed of the "first person" position in China by herself.

In the early summer of 1921, Hammer arrived in the Soviet Union. When seeing that the massive amounts of platinum, gems, and furs in the Malal area of ​​the Soviet Union could not be sold, and there was a severe shortage of food, a bold plan was formed in Hammer's mind. Reminiscent of the bumper harvest in the United States at that time and the drop in food prices, he proposed: with a capital of 1 million U.S. dollars, an emergency purchase of wheat in the U.S., shipping to Petrograd, after unloading the grain, and then selling 1 million U.S. dollars worth of fur and other items. The goods are shipped back to the United States. Hamer’s suggestion was quickly adopted by the Soviet leadership. Lenin personally called back to express his approval of the deal and asked Hamer to come to Moscow as soon as possible.

On the second day of arriving in Moscow, Hammer was received by Lenin. In order to allow the young Soviet to recuperate, Lenin paid special attention to Hamer's proposal. Since then, they have forged a sincere and profound friendship. Lenin encouraged Hammer to invest in a factory and allowed him to mine asbestos mines in Siberia, making him the first foreigner to obtain mining rights in the Soviet Union.

If history has not changed, Hammer came to China in 1979 and also got the position of the first foreigner to mine coal in China. This person can be called the first person in the red.

At this time, Catherine's mind suddenly flickered.

Maybe... Is there a possibility of cooperation between the two?

"Mr. Hamer, China is a huge market. Whoever wants to develop in this market alone seems to be a pontoon in the sea. It is very difficult to develop, but maybe if we will If these pontoons are assembled, maybe they can develop better? Should we cooperate, Mr. Hamer?"

"This is a very good idea, but in what areas can we cooperate? I plan to jointly develop an open-pit coal mine with them in China, but as far as I know, Miss Edson is planning to develop a high-tech field. Products within? There doesn’t seem to be a prerequisite for cooperation between us."

Catherine tilted her head, as if so.

"This is really a shame."

After passing by this man named "God of Management", Catherine also had some regrets.

However, I have a good understanding of China, which does not mean that I have no future for development.

In fact, Catherine is now investing more in China than the other party.

"To be honest, I really admire Miss Edson for your courage. I have invested 5 billion yuan in this country in one breath. I haven't seen such a person for a long time."

"This is just the beginning, Mr. Hammer."

Catherine said.

"I am going to live in China for a period of time, and I still need to observe this country."

Hammer told the truth.

Catherine nodded.

Generally speaking, this is considered a relatively stable approach, just like Hammer invested in the Soviet Union.

If it is an elderly Hamer, the other party may not have the energy to observe China, but now Hamer has the same strength as a middle-aged person, and he is obviously very interested in this country.

At this time, Hamer, who is more energetic, obviously wants to stay in China for more days.

The two sides discussed for a while, but everyone's views on China. After exchanging views, the other side also learned about the project Catherine wanted to work on.

Catherine is preparing to invest in a series of industries ranging from basic industries to high-tech. For Hamer, he has to understand some other aspects.

Compared to Catherine, Hammer came to China for the first time after all, and he needs to have a better understanding of the Chinese.

After Catherine talked with each other, Hammer also expressed his willingness to cooperate with the Ark Group to Catherine, but now there is no basis for cooperation between the two parties, so it can only be temporarily given up.

(Speaking of which, I am building roads here... how about it?)

If you want to be rich, build roads first.

After Hammer left, Catherine suddenly thought of such a sentence.

Road construction is a must.

China's infrastructure is very poor. This is not the "crazy rabbit" of the 21st century. If you do infrastructure here, it might be good.

But... will China allow a foreign company to do infrastructure construction?

The road is not high-tech, but it also requires technical content. Catherine does not understand this aspect ~www.wuxiaspot.com~.

But there is no doubt that this is a business opportunity!

(Hammer didn’t know how to make pencils back then?!)

Catherine suddenly thought of Hamer, who developed in the Soviet Union. This is also the inspiration from Hamer.

If they could pave the roads for China with high quality and low price, maybe they would agree to let themselves do infrastructure construction?

(Damn it, if only you could ask those infrastructural teams at the beginning, it would be nice, maybe it would be easy to get the infrastructure...)

Catherine murmured unclearly.

But it is necessary to deepen cooperation. Catherine decided to add this to the aspect that she and China would discuss...

...

Fourth today!

There are two more changes~ (to be continued!~!
