Chapter 269 The Greatest Gift
"Okay, go ahead and tell me. After all, I've been through a lot, and I can handle it pretty well."
Li Zhengguo said with a smile that he wanted to see what kind of surprise Lu Feng could give him.
After hearing what Li Zhengguo said, Lu Feng told him the explosive news in a very calm tone.
"Uncle, you should know that I am in Africa now, and the reason why I went abroad in person this time is related to this matter."
"The story goes like this. The Yafit Group discovered a massive oil field in Africa. Its reserves are a staggering 10 billion tons. According to the reserves of all the oil fields published worldwide, this field would rank among the top three."
"Boom"
Lu Feng's words entered Li Zhengguo's mind, and he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
It took a long time before he came to his senses.
"Xiaofeng...is what you said true? Did the Yafit Group in Europe really discover an oil field with reserves of tens of billions of tons?"
"real!"
Lu Feng said firmly.
"But this oil field was discovered by Yafit. What does it have to do with you?"
Li Zhengguo asked doubtfully. He knew all of Lu Feng's industries, but the only one related to Yafit was Ferrari.
But Ferrari is just one of the many groups controlled by the Yafit Group, and this major event concerning the life and death of the group cannot be known by a holding company, let alone Li Zhengguo estimates that not many people in the Yafit Group know about it.
After hearing Li Zhengguo's words, Lu Feng began his Versailles act.
"Well, I'm also a shareholder of the Yafit Group, so this matter is of course related to me. Moreover, since this oil field is difficult to exploit, I provided them with some special mining equipment."
"If it weren't for me, the Yafit Group would have been helpless, staring at this golden goose."
“If I didn’t have this diamond, how could I dare to call you?”
"what!!!"
After hearing what Lu Feng said, Li Zhengguo exclaimed.
"When did you become a shareholder of the Yafit Group? How come I didn't know?"
"Hehe, it was just a while ago. I didn't even have time to tell you because I went abroad."
Upon hearing this, Li Zhengguo gasped for breath several times and almost suffocated to death.
"Uncle Li, don't get excited yet. I have a bigger surprise to tell you."
Li Zhengguo calmed his breathing, his voice trembling slightly. "Xiaofeng, you...what surprises do you have? Tell me all at once. My old heart can't handle such a big shock."
Lu Feng smiled slightly, then continued, "Uncle, I plan to sell half of the output of this oil field to the state at normal market prices."
"What!, you...say it again?" Li Zhengguo's voice was full of shock and disbelief.
He really couldn't believe that this was the surprise Lu Feng had prepared for him. If Lu Feng could really decide to sell half of the oil field's output to the country, then this credit might really allow him to move forward half a step.
"Yes, uncle, you heard correctly. Half of the oil extracted from this oil field will be sold to the state at normal market prices."
Lu Feng spoke slowly.
Li Zhengguo on the other end of the line fell silent. He knew the magnitude of this news. From an oil field with a reserve of 10 billion tons, the annual output of oil would be astronomical. Even half of that would be enough to have a significant impact on the country's energy security.
"Xiaofeng, can you really make such a decision? I don't know how many shares you have in the Yafit Group, but I don't think it's too much."
"From what I understand, the Yafit Group is backed by the Hearn family, a long-established French aristocracy. With such a major event like this, the Yafit Group's president will definitely tell the Hearn family."
"Will the Hearn family agree to sell half of this oil field's reserves to our country? Shouldn't they first consider France, or at least other European countries?"
Li Zhengguo is worthy of being the top leader in Shanghai. He asked the key question right away.
"Don't worry, uncle. Although I don't have many shares in the Yafit Group, I still have a strong say in this matter. Besides, both the Yafit Group and the Hearn family have agreed."
"If you don't believe me, I can call the president of the Yafit Group and Jed, the young master of the Hearn family, over right now to meet you."
Lu Feng said seriously, and even moved Snake and Jade out directly.
Li Zhengguo on the other end of the phone heard Lu Feng's confident answer, especially when he heard Lu Feng mention that he could directly let the president of the Yafit Group and the young master of the Hearn family meet with him, he completely believed it.
"Xiaofeng, so you called me today just to give me this credit?"
At this moment, Li Zhengguo already understood what the surprise Lu Feng was talking about, and also understood what Lu Feng wanted to do.
"Yes, I will talk to Snake and the Hearn family and ask them to send someone to China to meet you. You can perform the trick well, and then the credit will be yours."
Lu Feng acted very calm, as if he had no idea how great the contribution was.
"Xiaofeng, don't tell me you don't know how great this contribution is. Why are you helping me like this?"
Li Zhengguo's words were full of utmost seriousness. As the top leader of Shanghai, he understood too well the importance of strategic materials like oil to a country.
Even though Lu Feng said that he sold it to the country at a normal price, as if they didn't get much advantage, the fact is that oil, as a strategic material, has always been in short supply.
Not to mention the oil field with reserves of over 10 billion tons. Although only half of it can be allocated to China, that is still an astonishing 50 billion tons, which is enough for China to use for a very long time.
Such oil fields, let alone being sold at market prices, would be scrambled for by many countries even if they were a little more expensive.
If Li Zhengguo really accepted the gift Lu Feng gave him, then his progress would basically be a foregone conclusion.
Hearing Li Zhengguo's question, Lu Feng suddenly became extremely serious.
"Uncle, I give you this gift, although there is a little selfishness in my motive, but more importantly, I want to thank you for your help all the time. Also, in my eyes, you are a true fatherly official."
This time, after he finished speaking, Li Zhengguo was slow to respond. Seeing this, Lu Feng stopped talking too, and the two of them fell into silence.
Time passed minute by minute, and about three minutes later, Li Zhengguo finally spoke.
"This matter is too important. I need to think about it carefully and then report it to the imperial capital. But I will remember your kindness. Thank you, Xiaofeng."
