Chapter 1039: Chapter 559 Even More Outrageous Demands!_2

"Thank you so much!" Sean Knight took Aria Wilson’s extended hand, "You’ve worked hard."

"Not at all! Not at all!" Aria, blushing, was reluctant to let go, "I told them to measure carefully, they must not make any mistakes. By the way, these experts have very high credibility, they are renowned in oil-producing countries. So rest assured, they will measure accurately!"

"If it’s someone you recommended, then of course I’m at ease," Sean Knight nodded.

In truth, hiring experts to perform the measurements was just gilding the lily.

After dealing with Zackery Guthrie, Sean Knight felt it might be better not to sell the oil field. After all, those who could afford it might not come to buy it, and those who did come were mostly looking for a bargain.

It might be better to just extract it on his own.

The infrastructure was already set up here anyway. He could just build an Airport, hire more people, and if really necessary, get a large oil tanker.

With this mindset, Sean Knight looked at the experts with added curiosity.

After all, the more the geological reserves, the more he would naturally be able to extract.

And with that, his future wealth would increase.

This oil field was probably the largest fortune he openly owned at the moment.

Of course, it was unlikely that the Chrysanthemum Organization would willingly give up such a source of wealth; they would surely try to cause sabotage later.

Sean had already planned to have the domestic recruitment company send another batch of security personnel—He felt that the security staff from Afghanistan were quite good.

Well, that’s settled then. Once the Airport is finished, he’ll bring people over!

It’s perfectly normal to have more people around when your wealth has expanded!

The experts were very professional. After having lunch, they started their investigative measurements.

Elijah Hastings and other technicians began to provide them with data such as the initial rock samples from when the oil field development began.

Aria was initially interested, but quickly grew bored and tugged at Sean’s sleeve, wanting to go out and play.

"Let’s go out later, it’s too hot right now," Sean kindly reminded.

"Okay. I found in the documents, a few kilometers from here, there’s a ruin site. It has a well-preserved divine temple and some statues, we can go and take a look later!"

Aria had already made a plan, which was somewhat intriguing.

However, plans never keep up with changes; that afternoon, more people arrived Inside Courtyard.

The visitors were accompanied by Embassy staff, and upon introduction, Sean was a bit stunned: They were from the two oil giants!

"Mr. Knight, it really is astonishing that you could own such a Large Oilfield, and I hear the oil products are also of a very high quality!"

The visitor was also adept at paying compliments—according to the introduction, this was a high-ranking official from one of the two oil giants stationed in the Middle East.

He looked to be in his late forties or early fifties, well-preserved, and spoke in a refined manner.

But Sean preferred to be straightforward:

"This Morning, domestic Energy Company officials came over intending to purchase my Oil Field. The price was too low, so I sent them away..."

The high-ranking official named Kyle Mitchell paused for a moment at Sean’s words, and then laughed somewhat awkwardly:

"I didn’t expect Mr. Knight to be so direct. Actually, we have the same intention. We’ve invested in quite a few oil fields here in the Middle East, and we have plenty of experience in this field, whether it’s in manpower or in machinery.

I heard Mr. Knight used to be in the antique business, you might not be as familiar with this area..."

"Yes, I’m indeed a layman. But I’ve heard that the oil fields you’ve invested in abroad have mostly passed that initial simple and highly profitable stage, requiring large-scale investments for high yields..."

Sean was a bit petty at that moment, thinking since you say I’m inexperienced, don’t blame me for uncovering your scars!

"You know about this?" Mr. Mitchell seemed surprised and a bit embarrassed.

"Of course, after all, my Oil Field has just been developed; out of the sixteen wells, more than half are self-spraying, requiring minimal Investment, and with high daily yields and good quality oil. It’s practically the type where you make money while lying down."

Listening to Sean’s self-praise, Mr. Mitchell didn’t find any issues with it but became even more interested:

"So, could you give me the specific data, Mr. Knight?"

"Simple. Here are the oil product data," Sean Knight took out a Map. "The conservative reserve is One Hundred Million tons, and as you can see, experts are here to calculate the precise exploitable reserves, which will only be more, not less."

Mr. Mitchell glanced over the documents with some astonishment and asked:

"Is this data genuine? The oil quality is that good? With this quality, one ton would cost at least 5,000, right? Your Oil Field... Fifty billion, tsk tsk! Really..."

He laid down the document and said to Sean:

"I can make a decision on an Investment of Fifty billion. Of course, that One Hundred Million tons must be geological reserves, right?

But since you, Mr. Knight, said it’s still being calculated, then the result should indeed be more than One Hundred Million tons. So should we wait for the results or..."

"If it turns out to be Two hundred million tons, three hundred million, or even 500 million tons, can you make the decision to buy it?" Sean Knight retorted, "At this price?"

"Naturally, not at this price," Mr. Mitchell shook his head, "We can’t earn nothing, and we can’t calculate based on geological reserves, it should be based on exploitable reserves, right? I think we should wait for the results, don’t you?"
