Chapter 1709 Is Lao Tzu showing off his wealth?
Yang Cheng is a little unlucky recently. Why? He listened to Carson's words and took on the BBC variety show, saying it was a variety show, but in fact it was an interview documentary wearing a variety show's outer skin.
It is no big deal to accept it. Bill Gaizi often takes on similar variety shows. After filming, he should eat and drink. He went to the elderly club to play bridge like an old man next door. I heard that his card skills are very bad, but he can't resist his enthusiasm. The more he plays chess, the more he plays chess, the more fun he plays. The richest man in the world plays bridge, the more smelly he is, the more fun he is.
Bah~ What nonsense sentences? In short, Yang Cheng is indeed not lucky recently.
After the show was broadcast, European and American netizens jointly criticized her for showing off her wealth, which made Yang Cheng very depressed. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that she didn’t do anything particularly luxurious during the filming process, right?
Didn’t some netizens praise him for being down-to-earth and eating cod strips like them?
Later, based on the online comments, he watched the show from beginning to end and finally found out that he was showing off his wealth. To be honest, it was quite embarrassing to watch his own show.
Isn't it just at the end of the show that I accidentally saw a Hermes display window on the street. There was a very limited bag that looked very beautiful, worth 200,000 pounds. Then I took it without blinking in the store. Because of this drama, he was criticized as shit by netizens.
Yang Cheng felt very wronged. What happened to me when I bought a gift for my fiancée? What's wrong with you? You think it's expensive, but I think it's cheap.
Originally, if the price was just expensive, it would not have been criticized so badly. After all, people are rich and willful. Buying luxury goods is like buying cabbage, which will not cause any trouble to netizens. At most, they will be over with a few words.
But the bad thing is that a god has found the background of this bag.
The following is taken from a comment from a enthusiastic netizen 'jason Yang is a dog': The reason why this bag can be sold at such a high price is entirely because the "Himaleya" style is originally a rare model among Hermes platinum bags, yes! You can understand it as rare among rare!
It requires an extremely complex dyeing process to dye the white crocodile skin with such a gradient effect. Hermes may not necessarily produce one every year.
In addition, this platinum bag is inlaid with 18k white gold decoration weighing 68.4 grams, which also adds a lot of color to it and is very collectible.
Is everything okay here?
When Yang Cheng saw this, he felt nothing was wrong, except that the online name was really annoying.
But the comments follow below are an environmentalist: a disgusting rich man who shouts about environmental charity every day, but he buys alligator leather bags. He really regrets the dead crocodiles, and God bless them.
Then Yang Cheng smiled angrily, "Crocodile is your ancestor?" Besides, when did he shout environmental slogans? There are many charity, but is it related to buying bags?"
If you have the ability, don’t wear cowhide shoes, don’t use belts, and don’t eat meat!
What made him speechless was that he followed more than 100,000 comments, and 70% of them were echoing the words of the environmentalist.
Of the remaining 30%, 20% of netizens said that they were not concerned about the matter, and 10% thought that Yang Cheng had money and just bought a bag, which was understandable.
On the show, Yang Cheng temporarily started buying a bag, which naturally aroused Helen Skelton's curiosity, "Who do you buy a bag for?"
Yang Chengtou, who was checking out, said without replying, "My fiancée~"
"Wow~ She must be very happy, she is such an enviable woman~"
When he said this, Helen Skelton inevitably became jealous. Women, they were more or less competitive and often fantasized that it would be great if my husband was a ***.
At this time, if Yang Cheng shut up and said nothing, everything would be fine, who would make him say, "Is it a happy thing to buy a bag?"
Swearing to Deng, when he said this, his mind didn't move at all, and he blurted out of his instinct of being humble.
Helen was stunned for a moment and asked, "Don't you know how rare this bag is? And it's worth £200,000!"
A speechless scene later appeared. Yang Cheng shrugged, smiled faintly, and said lightly, "It's okay, it's not expensive~"
OK~ The show was broadcast here, and I didn’t have to watch it anymore. It was just because of such a few minutes that he almost caused public outrage.
A bag worth £200,000 is not expensive? Do you know that this bag can be exchanged for a Ferrari at the same price? Maybe it can be sold with a beauty!
At this point, Yang Cheng’s 13 classic quotations have added another one: a bag worth 200,000 pounds = not expensive!
Anyway, seeing that she was being criticized so badly, Yang Cheng wanted to sue the BBC. Malicious editing ruined her reputation and must be punished~
Fortunately, Carson persuaded this idea. After all, the final version of the show was reviewed by him personally. In fact, he also made an empirical mistake. In Carson's opinion, is 200,000 pounds more than 200,000 pounds? Not to mention that this is a gift to the future castle hostess, which is really not expensive!
That's why he didn't worry too much about this part because he didn't think there was any problem~
However, they had left the city for too long and did not understand the hearts of ordinary people. Fortunately, Yang Cheng had expected that he had not shown his private plane or castle, otherwise he would be the target of rats crossing the street and everyone would be calling for them.
......
Before Conrad and Abu arrived, Yang Cheng urgently met with Ms. Burns. As a director of EssenMobil, Yang Cheng hoped to hear Ms. Burns' true view of the Permian.
"Good evening~Ms. Burns~"
In a long-famous Italian restaurant, Yang Cheng specially ordered a private room to facilitate the conversation between the two.
"Waiter, give the menu to this lady~"
Turning to Burns, "I didn't order a set meal, choose what you like~"
“I know this restaurant, their porchetta is very good~”
Yang Cheng nodded, "Then add another porchetta and let the chef arrange the side dishes~"
To put it bluntly, porchetta is roasted pork. Although this translation is a bit stiff, it should be more appropriate to use 'baked crispy pork', at least it sounds more like a dish.
This is a very classic Italian dish, and simply mentioning the word "porchetta" is enough to make most Italians drool.
This dish is derived from traditional Umbria dishes and is also common in places such as Lazio, Abruzzo and Marche.
Umbria is commonly used to season the meat with garlic, wild fennel, salt and pepper, while rosemary and garlic are often used in Lazio and abruzzo.
Marche people sometimes season the meat with white wine or cooked wine juice;
But to put it bluntly, this dish is a rotating roasted suckling pig in Country Z.
In summer, the Porchetta Festival is held throughout central Italy, where family and friends come from around to enjoy Porchetta outdoors, listen to music and chat with friends.
After returning from Lake Como, Yang Cheng hasn't eaten it for a long time and misses her a little.
After the waiter went out, he brought the private room door. Burns asked, "What's the urgent matter if I made me come out?"
Yang Cheng said bluntly, "I want to hear your opinion on the Permian Basin."
Burns was stunned, "You want to invest in the Permian?"
"Intentional~"
Burns frowned and said, "It's a little late, you should know that the Permian Basin was once a hotbed of small independent prospectors, wildlife and small companies that want to get rich from it."
But now, super oil giants have flocked to the place and acquired small operators in the region, and there are few goals for you to choose from.
However, this is also a process that must be experienced in business development. Big fish eat small fish and shrimps in small rain. Business also needs to respect the laws of the natural ecological chain. Only large oil companies can achieve breakthrough production efficiency, and the huge crude oil reserves in the region will be released."
The implication is that Yang Cheng's size is too small, and he can only be swallowed by a big fish if he forced himself into it.
According to common sense, it is indeed a bit late. After all, it is not too late to invest in such things.
But some things cannot be judged by common sense. The consortium led by Yang Cheng, Abu and Conrad has the strength not weaker than large and medium-sized oil producers. Most importantly, all three of them have enough resources to sell the mined oil!
"You can't compete with jason~"
"How do you say this?"
“Now both EssenMobil and Chevron are focusing on the Permian Basin as their focus, prioritizing their investment in West Texas, over all other projects across the spectrum, while European super oil giants, including Royal Dutch Shell and BP, are also increasing their investment in the Permian Basin.
The Permian Basin looks big, but so many super giants are pouring in, and even the largest basin will become crowded. Are you sure to survive in the cracks between so many giants?”
Without waiting for Yang Cheng to answer, Burns said directly, "EssenMobil now has 24 drilling platforms in the Permian, extending from western Texas to southeastern New Mexico.
Based in Midland, Texas, Cambridge Resources, formerly the most active driller in the Permian, we are recently talking about the acquisition, which owns 18 rigs.
Chevron also has 18 drilling platforms in the Permian region, but Chevron has recently begun to increase its efforts to develop the Permian Basin, and their Permian Basin oil production will soar more than 80% in the next year.
After listening to these data, what do you think? Not to mention the distance, you must surpass one of the rigs in order to have the possibility of survival, otherwise..."
Yang Cheng couldn't help but sigh, "Ms. Burns, I understand your words. You don't mind us fighting alone. What if we cooperate?"
"Cooperate? What do you mean?"
“It’s what you think, just like our cooperation in Nigeria.”
Burns browned, "Do you represent yourself? Or North Sea Oil?"
"Of course it's Beihai Petroleum, which means I'm useless, and I don't have an oil company in my name."
Chapter completed!
