Chris Barton, John Bruno and James Lin will be Yang Jing's closest partners during this period in the United States.
Chris and John, the two bodyguards, are responsible for the security of Yang Jing and Lin Dan, and Lin Dan is responsible for all of Yang Jing's auxiliary work in the United States.
Yang Jing has money in his pocket, but he doesn't know anything about the United States, and he has never been to the United States before.
Lin Dan, a young man with a spirit, is obviously very much in line with Yang Jing's appetite, he is smart enough, and he knows the United States well enough, with him, Yang Jing can rest assured and bold to do some work.
Lin Dan first accompanied Yang Jing to apply for a bank card at a Citibank not far from the branch, and then took Yang Jing and the other two bodyguards to Chinatown, where they had a very hearty and authentic Cantonese meal, and then stayed in the open hotel with Yang Jing.
"Brother Yang, where are we going tomorrow?
You'd better tell me in advance, I'll prepare for the evening. ” "Well, brother, I'd like to ask if there's an old oil well auction in San Francisco?"
"Old oil well auctions?"
James Lin asked strangely, "Although California is also rich in oil resources, and there are many oil wells that are old, there are no old oil well auctions here in San Francisco. ” After a pause, James Lin added: "The onshore oil fields in the United States are mainly located in the central and southwestern parts of the United States, as well as California and Alaska, such as Mississippi, Kansas, Texas, Louisiana, Arizona, New Mexico and other states, which are the main oil-rich regions.
However, among these states, Texas is one of the first states to develop oil fields, so there are many old oil fields and old oil wells.
Most of the oil fields here have been developed for more than 100 years, so there is basically no potential left to be tapped.
Therefore, most of the old oil well auctions are held in Houston, Dallas, Austin and other cities in Texas, of course, there are also many old oil well auctions held in New Orleans, Memphis, and Kansas every year, and as for California, most of the old oil well auctions are in Los Angeles and San Diego. ” Yang Jing nodded when he heard this, thought for a while and said, "Xiaolin, then you will check tonight to see where and when the recent old oil well auction was held." ” "Brother Yang, are you going to buy an old oil well?"
Lin Dan asked.
"Well, I'm a little interested in this area, so I want to try to get into this industry."
"Okay, I'll check tonight, although our Rongbao Mining is mainly engaged in metal minerals, it also has a lot of old friends in the petroleum industry.
Rest assured, you'll find out soon. ” When Lin Dan walked out of the room, Yang Jing threw himself into the sofa and lowered his head to consider the plans for the next few days.
Yang Jing's desire to buy the old oil well was not untargeted, because when he was in China, he had tried to absorb some natural things to increase the natural treasure reserves in the Holy Ring, but except for the precious gems such as jade and jadeite, the effect of other things was not very obvious, including crude oil.
There is a petrochemical factory in Tianqu City, and several of Yang Jing's uncle Li Long's classmates work in this factory, so Yang Jing has the opportunity to come into contact with the raw material of this petrochemical factory, oil.
As a mineral that has been brewed by Mother Earth for tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years, oil can be regarded as the essence of the earth, so Yang Jing wanted to try it to see if there was any natural treasure in oil.
What made Yang Jing excited was that there were indeed natural treasures in this oil, but it was also disappointing that there were too few natural treasures contained in the oil.
Yang Jing entrusted his uncle's classmates to buy ten liters of crude oil from the petrochemical plant, but the natural treasure contained in the ten liters of crude oil was pitiful, and the natural treasure contained in the ten liters of crude oil could not even increase the natural treasure gas pool Originally, Yang Jing gave up crude oil, but during that time, Yang Jing tried many things, and the results were not much stronger than crude oil.
According to the natural items that Yang Jing tried, in addition to gemstones such as jade and jadeite, precious metals such as gold and platinum also contain a lot of natural treasures, but other things contain much less natural treasures, including diamonds that Yang Jing thought should contain a lot of natural treasures.
In terms of value, diamonds are much more valuable than jadeite and Hetian jade, but such a precious diamond, the natural treasures contained in the same volume are not as much as copper, only a little more than crude oil This discovery also made Yang Jing completely understand why many people say that diamonds are all fried, and their value is not even as valuable as a piece of coal of the same volume.
Coals can be lit to keep you warm when you're cold, but what are diamonds for?
Do you think diamonds can be burned or can they be used to build houses?
This thing is of no use except to be hard, except to refract a light!
And diamonds are elemental crystals made of carbon, which are abundant in the earth's interior, and their essence is no different from graphite.
However, under the hype of some well-intentioned people, diamonds have become the most valuable gemstones on the planet So Yang Jing completely lost his heart to diamonds.
Of course, even if he didn't give up, neither diamonds nor diamond mines could get his hands on now.
However, it is precisely because of diamonds that Yang Jing reminds him of a mineral that was overlooked before, that is, oil.
Oil, which is similar to the natural treasures contained in coal and base metals, is a very rare kind.
But what if there's a lot of oil?
As the saying goes, gather sand into a tower, gather water into a sea, gather trees into a forest, these idioms studied by the ancestors of China are not in vain, they all contain the supreme truth.
Yes, there are very few natural treasures contained in oil, but what if there is enough oil?
Ten liters is not enough, let's come to him 100,000 barrels, 100,000 barrels is not enough, let's make him 1 million barrels or even 10 million barrels!
As long as the amount of oil is enough, there is no need to worry about natural treasures!
In the same way, if there is more coal and more base metals, it can also gather enough natural treasures.
And if you want to get together enough minerals, you must at least own one or more mines, otherwise you will not be able to absorb enough natural treasures.
But whether it is coal or base metal mines, they are not currently available to themselves, let alone more valuable precious metal mines or diamond mines.
And the only mine that can be brought is oil wells!
To be precise, it should be those old oil wells that can no longer extract crude oil!
The sudden idea of being born because of diamonds is one of the main purposes of Yang Jing's visit to the United States.
Oil field mining is not the same as other mineral mining, on this planet, other minerals are mined almost as much as you want, and it is impossible to leave minerals behind.
But oil extraction is different.
Oil was discovered by humans a long time ago, but it was not widely used for a long time.

However, at the end of the 19th century, with the advent of the internal combustion engine, the importance of oil immediately became apparent, and it has become the second largest natural energy source on the planet after coal.
The earth's oil reserves are still very considerable, but because of its physical properties, oil is destined to be extracted in the same way as other minerals.
The mining of other minerals, the mine boss hates to dig three feet into the ground and dig all the minerals, but the oil is not, every oil boss hates to extract all the oil in the oil field, but that is obviously impossible, at least at this stage, there seems to be no one on this planet who can do this.
Human beings have been extracting oil for more than 100 years, but no matter how much human science and technology develop, they are still somewhat helpless about oil extraction.
Because the oil resources contained in an oil field can be exploited at most35, this amount is still a lot, and the number of recoverable oil fields in most oil fields is only about 30.
In other words, an oil field with reserves of up to 10 billion barrels, at most, only 3.5 billion barrels of crude oil can be extracted, and the remaining 6.5 billion barrels of crude oil can only continue to sleep under the dark rock formations, at least in the last few decades or even hundreds of years, human beings have not been able to extract those too viscous heavy oil.
As a result, this kind of old oil well, which has a large amount of heavy oil left, has become a chicken rib in the eyes of those big oil companies - tasteless food, and it is a pity to abandon it.
The development of an onshore oil well is usually around $100 to $2 million, and by the end of the heavy oil stage, there is very little oil that can be extracted.
If it continues, it will have to bear huge manpower, electricity and maintenance costs, and it is very inappropriate for those big oil companies to extract crude oil from such old wells.
But it was obviously not appropriate to abandon a million-dollar oil well, so over time, a new business was born, that is, the auction of old oil wells.
That is, those old oil wells that originally belonged to big oil companies were auctioned off to individuals to operate and exploit.
These old oil wells are a chicken rib for large companies, but they are still attractive to some private bosses, and private exploitation of such old oil wells is low, as long as a certain amount of crude oil can be extracted, then it is still profitable.
Especially if you're lucky enough to discover new oil and gas layers from old wells that you photographed, then it means you've made a fortune.
This kind of thing has not happened before, and in the United States, where the auction of old oil wells is most prosperous, a miraculous thing once happened.
It was at an old oil well auction in the new century, and a Californian named "Scott Lee" bought 14 old oil wells in a small shutdown oil field in Mississippi at an auction for a total price of 34,000 US dollars, the 229-acre old oil field was discovered in 1952, and after more than 20 years of exploitation, it was shut down in 1974, with a total of 4.09 million barrels of oil.
After photographing the 14 old oil wells in this oil field, Scott Lee immediately invested millions of dollars to resurvey these old oil wells, and it took more than half a year to find that there were still seven oil and gas layers in this old oil field that had not been exploited!
Although these seven layers of oil and gas reservoirs are very thin, after calculation, the geological reserves of unexploited oil and gas reservoirs are as high as more than 24 million barrels, and the recoverable reserves can reach 7.2 million barrels, which is more than 300 million barrels more than the total production of 4.09 million barrels in the oilfield in the past 22 years!
According to the analysis of very experienced operators in the United States, Scott Lee obtained a return rate of up to 7,336 times in this small oil field, that is to say, without counting the funds invested by Scott Lee in the auction of old oil wells, Scott Lee can make a profit of $7,336 per investment of every $1 invested in this old oil field!
The payback period for the entire investment is only 9-11 months.
As for the cost of a barrel of crude oil, it is only a measly $3.
This is an example of getting rich overnight, and now Scott Lee is a veritable billionaire!
There are now more than 3 million old oil wells in the United States, and there are a lot of business opportunities in these old wells that are close to shutdown or simply shut down.
These business opportunities make countless people who want to become the second Scott Lee go to participate in the auction of old oil wells every day, but for Yang Jing, he has no interest in oil exploitation at all, he just wants to buy a few old oil wells, and then secretly absorb all the natural treasures contained in the remaining heavy oil in the old oil wells as much as 65 or even 70!
Ten liters of crude oil contains very little natural treasure, but what if it is too much?
A barrel of crude oil is almost equal to about 159 liters, and how much heavy oil is contained under an old oil well that has been shut down?
I don't dare to say tens of millions of barrels, but there are definitely hundreds of thousands of barrels.
If so much crude oil belongs to you, then you can't let the Holy Ring absorb enough?
An old oil well can't work, so let's just buy a few more old oil wells, anyway, the auction price of the old oil well is not high.
There are many old oil wells in the United States, and some old oil wells with good conditions can even be auctioned for millions of dollars, but many more old oil wells are auctioned at very low prices.
Many of the old oil wells that have been closed have been auctioned at unbelievably low prices, and one of the old oil wells that have been closed has even been auctioned for less than $100.
Of course, this kind of old oil well is almost unattended.
But others are not interested in this kind of old oil well, which does not mean that Yang Jing is not interested.
No one else can extract the remaining heavy oil from the old oil wells, but this heavy oil is a rare and great tonic for the Holy Rings It is for this reason that Yang Jing decided to come to the United States.
Photographing a few old oil wells is one of the main purposes of Yang Jing's visit to the United States.
Early the next morning, Lin Dan sent a report to Yang Jing, which Lin Dan found out overnight last night.
The closest auction of an old oil well is the day after tomorrow in Austin, the capital of Texas ps: Bow and thank you for the 1000 reward of "Forcing Your Life to Half a Night", and the 500 reward of "Ziyan Tianjiao".
