Chapter 684: Five hundred times?

After listening to Mobil's plan for the coming year, Li Zitao did not express much opinion, but focused on innovations in surveying and technology.
If you want to gain an upper hand in the middle and upper reaches, you must first stay ahead of the technology. Mobil can do what others can survey, and Mobil can do what others cannot.
Li Zitao remembered that there seemed to be a technology called shale drilling technology in the previous life, and new oil could be discovered by throwing it from the shale layers that have been mined.
However, all of these require Mobil to invest in research. Li Zitao did not add a name to a name, so as to make an excuse to "hear".
This is the 20th century, not the 15th or 16th century with backward news.
If it falls into the ears of a caring person, a phone call could not find any information in the past, maybe it is necessary to doubt the identity of Li Zitao.
This is his greatest secret, and he must never take risks.
At 2 pm, Li Zitao was having lunch with Grace in the hotel, and Wei Qi Schlumberger arrived.
"Let him come and eat together." People invited Wei Qi Schlumberger to come up, and Li Zitao turned to sit beside Grace.
"BOSS... beautiful lady, good afternoon." Wei Qi Schlumberger said happily to the two, and after sitting down, he consciously poured a glass of wine for himself.
This is not the first time to meet Li Zitao. He knows that BOSS does not care about small details, as long as he does his own essential work.
"Talk about the specific data." Li Zitao wiped his mouth, took the wine bottle from his hand, poured a glass of wine and drank it, and swallowed it with the steak.
"The oil reserves are at least 10 billion barrels. With multiple explorations during the mining process, this number will definitely rise, BOSS, congratulations." Wei Qi Schlumberger said with a glass of wine.
"Your congratulations..." Hooked up at the snow behind him, took out the checkbook from the purse and signed a string of zeros and names.
"This is my personal reward for Schlumberger's year-end award. It is up to you to decide how much to give to others." Li Zitao handed the checkbook to Bai Xue and said with a smile.
"BOSS...it's too much." The year-end prize of 2 million dollars, plus the brothers' shares, are they going to become a millionaire?
"Wei Qi, you're worth the price!" Li Zitao said brightly, letting Wei Qi move the cheque away.
Efforts can be recognized and rewarded, and there is a boss who trusts himself and is generous. Such a job may be the dream of everyone.
"BOSS, have you heard the name Halliburton?" After the steak came up, Wei Qi discussed the business while eating.
"I heard that a professional oil service company seems to have been established for a long time." Li Zitao nodded.
"Twenty-four years... one of the earliest energy service companies. Schlumberger used many techniques for cementing operations and surveys, many of which were inspired by it.
If we can acquire it, we can become an industry leader. "Wei Qi said that he picked up a large piece of beef and chewed it in his mouth.
"Are there any contacts with them?" Li Zitao asked with interest.
Enhancing Schlumberger's business capabilities has many advantages for Li Zitao, and may also use this to reach cooperation with giants such as Exxon.
To say that the biggest buyer is still the China from the Far East, the silver dollar is like no money.
"Snow, how much is Mobil's current silver deposit?" Li Zitao suddenly thought of one thing, that is, the price of silver plunged before the appearance of the fiat currency.
"Almost 30 million ounces, the silver price in New York is 81 cents per ounce." Shirayuki opened the book in his hand with skill.
"Wei Qi, I still have something to do. I'll leave it to you about Halliburton. I will tell you when there is news." Li Zitao turned and left without waiting for Wei Qi to speak.
If you remember correctly, Washington will soon announce that it will stop buying silver, causing the price of silver to plummet. Now is the right time to make money.
"Help me pick the Rockefeller Manor." Back in the room, Li Zitao dialed the phone of Little John and the two exchanged for about 10 minutes.
After hanging up the phone, Li Zitao called the think tank again: "Ben, have Britain and the United States recently sent people with economic aspects like China?"
"10 minutes." Putting the phone aside, Li Zitao tapped on the sofa arm with his finger.
After 10 minutes, he answered the phone again. Li Zitao knew that Britain sent a team represented by the chief economic adviser to China more than 40 days ago.
"I want think tanks to make blank silver in London. Now how much money can I use on my books?" Li Zitao asked directly.
"105 million, if you haven't spent any money on BOSS recently!" Ben said innocently.
Li Zitao's ability to spend money is as fast as he spends it. Just a dream castle, it spent 160 million before and after, and 40 million had to be settled before the end of the year.
"Enough is enough. How many times can the leverage of spot silver be used?" The memory available in this era is pitiful, and it's hard to remember one. How can Li Zitao let it go.
"50 times..."
"So small?" Li Zitao was a little dissatisfied.
"If necessary, I think Barclays will have a way." Ben mentioned a name.
Barclays, the third party in the evaluation and liquidation during the merger of Alaska and Mobil ~ EbookFREE.me ~ is very satisfied with their services Li Zitao and John Little.
With the previous good cooperation, I believe they can surprise themselves.
After asking Bai Xue to ask for the number from the secretary's office, Li Zitao dialed the Barclays president, Andrea Boluxtin, using the hotel's transoceanic telephone.
"Andrea, I'm Charlie Lee. How is the weather in London?" After the call was connected, Li Zitao greeted the other with a smile and joy.
Chinese people like to ask, ‘have you eaten? ’
The foreigner also likes it, and when he meets, he asks ‘How is it today or how is the weather? ’
After the greeting, Li Zitao turned around and said: "Don't you know that you all have seats in the metal trading? I want to do a little business."
Hearing Li Zitao saying this, Andrews smiled even brighter.
Barclays will be very interested in a small business that allows him to call in person.
"Let's talk about Charlie. I think you know Barclays. There is nothing we can't do in London." Andrews said confidently.
"I want to make blank silver, but the think tank told me that it can only provide 50 times the leverage, which makes me very disappointed." Li Zitao said lazily on the sofa.
"How much do you want to invest?" Andrews tentatively asked.
"Small numbers...100 million."
"...Charlie, your little number scared me a little." Andrews said without a word, 100 million, 50 times leverage was not satisfied.
Li Zitao did not speak, waiting for the other party's answer, if the other party can provide him with a leverage of 100 times, it would be better.
It turns out that he underestimated the capitalist's greed and Barclays' ability. Andrews responded to him: "400 times, if you can provide a deposit, 500 times is not a problem."
