Chapter 1026: Chapter 555: How to Repay This Favor?

With Princess Aliya watching over, Sean Knight quickly completed the official procedures to take over the oil field.

The clerk respectfully presented the procedures to Sean Knight with both hands, and after carefully reviewing them, Sean found everything was in order. The oil field was officially his now.

Princess Aliya had already left. Because of this matter, many onlookers began to report Ibrahim Edwards’s irregular operations, which suddenly made Aliya very busy.

Before getting busy, she had instructed Amina Wilson to prioritize Sean Knight’s affairs and tell him,

"Ibrahim has major issues. He will be controlled. Once things are sorted out, we will return that 5 million dollars to you at the first opportunity!"

Seeing Sean Knight’s satisfied expression, Amina said,

"Mr. Knight, the matter of the oil field has been resolved, and I think you should have some time now. Her Royal Highness is dealing with some affairs and will be done soon..."

Sean understood the implicit meaning in Amina’s words and nodded,

"That issue has been handled, and I am indeed in no rush. I need to recruit some specialized workers from the domestic market, as well as some engineering machinery... all these things can be taken care of here."

"That’s wonderful." Amina had been worried that Sean might be anxious to visit the oil field. Now that she received such a response, she was extremely satisfied and hurried off after asking about Sean’s next plans.

Taking the documents with him, Sean left the office building and returned to the hotel with Lincoln Harrington.

"Boss, things went so smoothly, shouldn’t we thank Princess Aliya?"

"Of course," Sean said. "I’ve already thought about what gift to give."

Lincoln didn’t ask, and Sean continued,

"Let’s take a short break. Get in touch with Elijah Hastings and the others to see how things are at the oil field. We’ll be here for two days, and I can also take the time to contact some domestic engineering technicians to come over."

After giving instructions, Lincoln returned to his own room, and Sean, closing his door, carefully selected the gift from his spatial realm.

This time, Aliya had secured for him an oil field worth at least several hundred million dollars, and both publicly and privately, he needed to thank her properly.

Thinking of the two exquisite pieces of golden jewelry Aliya wore on her head, Sean quickly picked out a four-piece jewelry set from his space.

It was a set of emerald necklace, earrings, and ring.

They were treasures from a cache in the African Desert, possibly belonging to nobility from a bygone dynasty, and were very well preserved.

Sean also took out a jewelry box from his space—this box was found within the treasures hidden by the Swastika Force.

There were many pieces of jewelry inside, but Sean did not take them out. After all, those events had not happened long ago, and it would be too easy to trace the origin of these items if he exposed them now.

He was there to thank someone, not to bring them hidden troubles.

The jewelry box was very elegant, a silver box with gemstones inlaid on it and quite intricate patterns. At least in Sean’s opinion, the box matched the four pieces of jewelry perfectly.

After placing the jewelry in the box and wrapping it in velvet cloth, Sean began to ponder.

Finding engineers seemed to require reaching out to some of his contacts.

Placing job advertisements was not a problem, but many domestic people are wary of overseas job offers, fearing them to be scams that could lead them to trouble in some lesser-known country.

Thus, some domestic enterprises would need to act as guarantors.

Sean felt it best not to complicate matters by mixing too many issues, so he decided to continue to seek Craig Davis’s assistance.

Moreover, it was a win-win situation. Sean intended absolutely not to short-change the workers’ wages and would also try to increase their motivation.

However, he was currently unsure about how many usable machines were available at the oil field, and the details would have to wait until after his arrival there.

After some thought, and checking the time, Sean made a phone call to Craig Davis.

"An oil field? Brother Sean, you’re really going big with your business! What’s the scale of that oil field? How’s the quality of the oil?"

"About One Hundred Million tons of reserves, I guess," Sean considered before responding, "The quality of the oil, from the data I have, is top-notch in the world. But I haven’t been there to see it myself, and even if I had, I wouldn’t be clear as you know I’m a layman in this."

"One Hundred Million tons... that’s a large oil field indeed!" Craig was somewhat speechless; no wonder people say it’s hard to make a dollar’s profit on a dollar’s capital, but earning ten thousand dollars on ten thousand dollars’ capital seems easier.

Sean first acquired a coal mine with excellent quality reserves of several hundred million tons, and now he has obtained a large oil field with top-tier oil, was he racing toward becoming an energy magnate?

"I don’t have any friends in this area, but I can inquire around for you. I believe with the quality of your oil field, as soon as you release the news, many will come looking for you proactively."

"Then let’s release the news. I’m waiting for people to come to me," Sean spoke laughing, "I do prefer to hire compatriots; otherwise, it’s possible to find people here too."

That was true.

Even though it was a small country with excellent welfare for its citizens, there were still many people who came here to dig for gold or work in the oil fields.

If the conditions were favorable enough, headhunting was not an issue at all here.
