Chapter 056 Details
May 22nd.
Siam, Bangkok Airport.
A passenger plane slowly landed on the runway.
Yang Tianci, who came down from the cabin, was intimidated by the heat wave. His assistant and bodyguards went to pick up the luggage, while he went directly to the hall.
A young man saw Yang Tianci and immediately came over with a smile: "Brother Yang, long time no see, my father has prepared a dinner, please come in!"
"Brother Xu, you are too polite. My father caught a cold a few days ago and it was inconvenient for him to come over. I'd like to trouble you to take care of him this time." Yang Tianci also looked like a good brother.
Xu Xuemeng nodded.
Soon the assistant picked up the luggage, and the group took the Mercedes-Benz arranged by Xu Xuemeng to Xu's private estate.
The Xu family is a big family in Siam and controls the Tianchou Group, whose main businesses are pharmaceuticals and beverages (it is the founding company of the red can functional beverage).
That evening.
Yang Tianci, the current head of the Xu family, Xu Xuekong, his brother Xu Xuemeng and others attended the dinner hosted by the Xu family.
About 1.6 kilometers away from Xu's Manor, there was a van parked on the side of the road. The people in the van were watching the sampling mosquitoes returning continuously from the modified skylight.
One of the soldiers operated the biological computer, constantly reading the historical records of the mosquitoes and screening the target's blood samples.
After all, there are hundreds of people in the entire Xu's manor, and pheromone control cannot lock on to a single individual with too much precision, so it can only be done through indiscriminate sampling.
At the banquet tonight, many people were secretly complaining about the large number of mosquitoes.
But they didn't know that these mosquitoes were collecting their blood samples.
The soldiers in the van removed all the blood samples of worthless servants, bodyguards, and the like, and kept the rest in frozen form.
Until the target blood sample is obtained.
An hour and a half passed before the van quietly left and headed for the base secretly prepared by the Security Department.
Chen Jianxiong looked at the frozen test tube in his hand, which contained three mosquitoes full of blood. He handed the test tube to another spider web manager in charge of technology:
"Domino, start breeding targeted attack poisonous mosquitoes!"
Domino nodded and took the test tube.
This is a solution for precisely controlling genetically modified insects, by allowing the genetically modified insects to recognize the target's pheromones and thus attack the target precisely rather than indiscriminately.
After all, Yang Tianci now lives in the Xu’s manor, where there are many innocent servants. We can’t let the poisonous mosquitoes attack indiscriminately!
If this is really done, on the one hand it would be too cruel, and on the other hand it would easily expose the problem and make people suspect the mosquito.
After 12 hours of cultivation, with the help of the larvae of genetically modified poisonous mosquitoes, 100 genetically modified poisonous mosquitoes successfully acquired the ability to recognize specific pheromones, and the target of their recognition was Yang Tianci.
The next day, around 9:30 in the morning.
The business center on the top floor of Bangkok's riverside luxury hotel was booked out today.
In a high-end restaurant not far from the hotel, Chen Jianxiong and two of his subordinates were in a private room, eating while staring at the entrance of the Riverside Hotel.
As luxury cars entered the hotel's underground parking lot.
The protagonists of this secret meeting also arrived at the business center of the Riverside Hotel one after another.
Including Yang Tianci, Xu Xuekong and others.
At the dinner table, Xu Xuekong introduced the local Chinese business families in Siam to Yang Tianci.
"This is Mr. Li Xianneng from Ayudhya Bank... This is Mr. Zheng Min from Central Group... This is Mr. Su Kangcheng from Sura Group..."
"My name is Yang Tianci, and my father is Yang Haibo. It's a great honor to meet you all." Yang Tianci greeted with a smile.
Zheng Min patted him on the shoulder: "So you are Haibo's son? He has grown up so much."
"Hello, Uncle Zheng." Yang Tianci replied quickly.
At this time, Guo Lijia, a representative of the Guo family of Malaysian Chinese businessmen, and Li Xiaohua, general manager of Temasek Investments, appeared on the scene accompanied by a white man.
Yang Tianci and others rushed over.
"Mr. Thomas, I am..."
Everyone started introducing themselves.
Thomas Morgan, holding a red wine glass, smiled politely. After everyone had introduced themselves, he spoke:
"Gentlemen, let's sit down and talk!"
After saying that, Thomas sat down in the main seat first, and the others followed quickly.
Thomas's butler said to everyone: "Everyone has already heard some news about the cooperation in the development of the Kam oil field in Malaysia. This is an oil field located on the seabed. The total recoverable reserves are estimated to be around 160 million tons, and there are also about 12 billion cubic meters of natural gas."
Upon hearing this exploration data, many people's eyes lit up and revealed uncontrollable greed.
Yang Tianci also had dry lips and tongue, so he picked up the cup in front of him and took a sip of water.
You should know that the current international crude oil price is around US$50 to US$60 per barrel, while natural gas price is around US$150 to US$200 per thousand cubic meters.
160 million tons of crude oil is equivalent to 200 million barrels, which is now worth about 10 billion to 12 billion US dollars; 12 billion cubic meters of natural gas is now worth 1.8 billion to 2.4 billion US dollars.
However, not everyone is blinded by profit.
For example, Zheng Min, the CEO of the Central Group, knew that the cost of exploiting offshore oil fields was quite high, so he asked tentatively:
"Mr. Thomas, what is the quality of the oil in this oil field? How deep is the water in the sea? How deep is the oil field?"
Thomas's butler smiled and replied, "It is light, low-sulfur crude oil. The average water depth of the sea area is 120 to 150 meters, and the oil field is mined at a depth of about 1,400 to 1,500 meters."
After hearing this, many people came to their senses.
Offshore oil fields cannot be exploited casually. The cost of building an offshore drilling platform alone is over 200 million US dollars.
What's more, this is only preliminary exploration data, not the real data of the oil field. If there is an error in the actual situation of the oil field, you may lose all your money.
However, compared to the hesitation of others, Yang Tianci did not want to give up this opportunity. This investment opportunity was hard-won. He not only represented the Yang Group, but also other people who planned to invest in this project.
If it weren't for Du Jianxin's relationship with the Morgan family, they would not be qualified to participate in this investment.
Yang Tianci asked: "Mr. Thomas, I wonder how much money this project will cost?"
The housekeeper explained: "In the Kam oil field development company, the Malaysian government wants 33% of the shares and profits."
No one has any objection to this. After all, the oil field is located in Malaysian waters, so Malaysia must be given a share.
"Morgan wants 25% of the shares, Temasek Investment has confirmed 7% of the shares, and the remaining 35% of the shares have not been confirmed, but each 1% share must invest 50 million US dollars."
Hearing this, Yang Tianci immediately stood up and said, "I represent New Nanyang Investment Company and invest 1 billion US dollars, accounting for 20% of the shares."
“……” Zheng Min glanced at Yang Tianci, then looked at everyone else.
The representative of Kuok Malaysia raised his hand: "Hong Leong is willing to invest US$400 million, accounting for 8% of the shares."
As Yang Tiancheng and the Guo family made their moves one after another, only 7% of the shares remained unconfirmed.
Xu Xuekong picked up the red wine glass and said, "I am investing 200 million US dollars on behalf of Tianchou Group."
Bank of Ayudhya took the remaining 3%.
At this point, the shares of Kam oil field were clarified.
The Malaysian government holds 33%, the Morgan family holds 25%, New Nanyang Investments holds 20%, Hong Leong Corporation holds 8%, Temasek Investments holds 7%, Tiong Bahru Group holds 4%, and Bank of Ayudhya holds 3%.
Thomas raised his red wine glass, smiled and said to everyone: "Congratulations on the success of our cooperation. Cheers!"
"Cheers!" Yang Tianci was the first to respond.
