Be it progress or decline, steel, precious metals and non-ferrous metals are also top priorities of industrial society.
Even if the world breaks apart and becomes a wasteland, and all global tech companies go bankrupt, energy and resources can still survive.
Therefore, oil fields and mining accounted for a large part of the assets accumulated by the Qing Dynasty over hundreds of years.
Of course, there is another very important factor here, namely, in any part of the world, oil fields and mines are more likely to carry out hidden engineering construction and hide a lot of people.
The copper mine in Cyprus is expanding its internal tunnels and working surfaces, and building an underground community underground. Because it is a mine, this massive project can be completely hidden.
Chavren Yuan probably understood Jon Wu’s point of view and sighed: “After hearing what the governor said, my subordinates realized that they were just fooling around.”
Jon Wu chuckled, looked at the countless oil pumps below, and sighed: “The simpler the business model, the more reliable it is.
Look at these pumping machines, every time they turn, they will pump out a large amount of oil that can be converted into US dollars.
This machine operates 24 hours a day. As long as we connect the extracted crude oil to the pipeline and transport it to the port, oil traders will use tankers to transport oil all over the world.
And all we have to do is wait here and count the money. That way, we don’t have to worry about what’s popular today or what will be popular tomorrow, let alone who will use technological innovation to destroy our jobs.
Until those scientists understand the research on controlled nuclear fusion, we will never worry about making money here.”
Chavren Yuan nodded heavily and sighed: “The Warriors Den Society has been able to stand in the world for four hundred years, and it is inseparable from the foresight of the successive British rulers.”
After that, he asked Jon Wu: “Grand Governor, if the time waiting here is still uncertain, would you like me to arrange for someone to renovate a residence with a suitable environment for you?”
Jon Wu thought for a moment, waved his hand and said: “No need, Mr. England attaches great importance to this matter, and there may be other informants.
Before the mysterious enemy appears, you and I must try our best and be careful about our work.
Don’t leave a shameful impression on the English Lord!”
