…Maybe if there is a slight change, you will lose all your money. If you invest $100 million in a technology project, you may not be able to recover even $1 million, but if you spend $100 million to invest in a few oil wells, it is very likely that it will bring you $1 billion in the next 30 years, which is the importance of stability, and the ability to resist shocks is also an important indicator, if there is a world war tomorrow, the chip and the smartphone will still make money.I don’t know if they can make money, but oil, steel and non-ferrous metals can definitely make more!”
Although Wu Feiyan was an old man who was nearly four hundred years old and did not possess modern business acumen, the old-fashioned her, through her understanding of the world for so many years, had formulated a core concept for the business landscape of the Broken Clearance Society that would never waver, and that was to think of every possible way to control as much energy and resources as possible.
Having witnessed the industrial revolution and world wars, she knew very well that no matter how the world developed, coal, oil and natural gas would still be the main source of energy for a long time to come, and no matter how the world’s technology developed, whether it was progressing or retrogressing, iron and steel, precious metals and non-ferrous metals would still be the top priority in the industrial society, and even if the whole world broke out into world wars and became a piece of wasteland, or if all the global technological companies went bankrupt, the energy and resources would still be able to stand.Even if a world war breaks out and the whole world is reduced to a wasteland, and all the global technology companies close down and go bankrupt, energy and resources will still be able to stand.
Because of this, oilfields and mines accounted for most of the assets accumulated by the Broken Clearance Society over the past few hundred years.
Of course, there is another important factor here, and that is that anywhere in the world, oil fields and mines make it easier to carry out hidden projects and hide large numbers of people.
The copper mine in Cyprus is to expand the internal roadways and working surfaces, hard to build an underground community under the ground, because it is itself a mine, this kind of huge project can also be done to completely hide people’s ears.
Yuan Chengze probably understood Wu Shutong’s point of view and sighed, “After hearing the Grand Metropolitan Governor say all this, my subordinate realised that it was his own whimsy.”
Wu Shutong laughed lightly, looked at the countless oil pumping machines below, and sighed: “The simpler the business model is, the more reliable it is, look at these kowtowing machines, every time they turn around, they will pump up a large amount of oil that can be exchanged for US dollars, and these machines are running 24 hours a day, and we just need to connect the pumped crude oil to the pipeline and transport it to the harbour, and then those oil merchants will use the oil tankers totransported to all over the world, and what we have to do is to wait here to count the money, do not have to worry about what’s popular today, what’s popular tomorrow, and do not have to worry about who will use technological innovation to smash our rice bowls, that group of scientists did not understand the research of controlled nuclear fusion, before, here never worry about not making money.”
Yuan Chengze nodded heavily and sighed, “The fact that the Broken Qing Society has been able to stand in the world for four hundred years cannot be separated from the foresight of the successive British lords.”
After saying that, he asked Wu Shutong, “Great Governor, if the waiting time here is not yet accurate, do you want my subordinates to arrange for specialised personnel to remodel a residence with a suitable environment for you?”
Wu Shutong pondered for a moment, waved his hand and said, “No need, the British Lord attaches great importance to this matter, there may be other eyes, before that mysterious enemy appears, you and I must behave with all our might and reserve, we must not leave the British Lord with the impression that it is difficult to be of great use!”
