Chapter 995: 990. Zhang Ran's Oil Field (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

Aili nodded, but did not speak.

Everything Zhang Ran said was reasonable, but clearly, it had not convinced him.

He was interested in new energy, but he was truly not interested in oil, because there were too many things involved in it.

Aili was not afraid, but he would not intentionally cause trouble for himself for the sake of Zhang Ran; their relationship had not reached that point yet.

Zhang Ran also knew that this could not convince Aili, so he smiled and waved to the person behind him, and a document was immediately handed over.

"Mr. Aili, please take a look at this document first." Zhang Ran handed it over.

Aili took it and looked it over, a flash of brilliance in his eyes; he had not expected Zhang Ran to have this.

After quickly finishing the document, Aili sighed and said: "Mr. Zhang, with this, you could completely do it yourself; you don't need me anymore, right?"

"If I join, it could be said that I am only taking the benefits; for you, it doesn't have much use, right?"

The document Zhang Ran provided was a contract for the lease of a super-large oil field, with a signature from Dubai on it, proving the validity of the contract.

This was the largest oil field discovered in Dubai in recent years; at the time, countless people had bid for it, but Dubai wanted to develop it themselves, so they had no intention of leasing it out.

But never had anyone expected that it would now be in Zhang Ran's hands.

However, although Aili was surprised, he did not ask anything.

Zhang Ran smiled and said: "Mr. Aili is too modest; if you join, your role for us will be too great."

"In the world, wanting to sell oil actually cannot be completely separated from the United States; I believe Mr. Aili understands this point."

"I know, but as long as Mr. Zhang shares a little bit of the profit, I believe these obstacles will not exist, so why come to me?" Aili asked, puzzled.

Zhang Ran said: "To be honest, I just don't want to share it with them; I believe Mr. Aili also knows what methods they have used and what things they have done for their own interests."

"Although I have no way to stop them, and don't even have a say, I just can't stand it."

"The development of society requires the support of rights from various industries, rather than having people hold it back."

Aili did not speak, but silently began to think; the people under him were also whispering to each other, discussing carefully.

Very quickly, someone on Aili's side spoke up: "Mr. Zhang Ran, may I ask, how did you obtain this document? As far as I know, Dubai has no intention of selling the lease rights, right?"

Aili frowned and said: "Like, what Mr. Zhang has is real; don't ask about things you shouldn't ask."

The meaning of Like's words just now was to doubt Zhang Ran.

Zhang Ran smiled, waved his hand, and said: "It's fine, this is also something I should explain; the matter is actually very simple."

"Back then, I actually participated in some of Dubai's development paths; of course, I only offered some small suggestions."

"At that time, the promise they gave me was actually the lease rights to a large oil field; now they are just fulfilling their own promise."

Zhang Ran spoke lightly, but in reality, many people were shocked in their hearts.

Many of Zhang Ran's own people were the same; they hadn't known the specific situation before either.

Even Aili couldn't help but take a few extra looks at Zhang Ran; how was it that this guy had his hand in everything?

No wonder Dubai had suddenly changed some of its development strategies back then, and soon after, surpassed many similar countries.

It turned out it was because of Zhang Ran.

What Zhang Ran said was the real reason; of course, it wasn't that simple either. Back then, Zhang Ran could be considered to have happened upon the Rhode Family by chance.

Moreover, his main purpose back then was to help the Rhode Family, or rather, to cooperate with them.

But regarding matters of oil, Zhang Ran was not very knowledgeable, so at that time, Zhang Ran thought about letting the Rhode Family handle the main operations.

So Zhang Ran began to associate with some people in Dubai, and at the same time, some of his influence was expanding, especially in certain circles.

At that time, Zhang Ran's words already carried quite a bit of authority, which was why he was able to convince Dubai to enter the oil development stage early.

When Zhang Ran obtained this promise, he also thought about waiting for a period of time, waiting until he encountered a suitable large oil field.

But he didn't expect that this wait would be thirty years.

However, Dubai had no intention of going back on their word; of course, this was mainly because Zhang Ran's strength was sufficient now.

Especially since Dubai was now thinking about transformation, thinking about engaging in some other industries.

After all, there would always be a day when the oil ran out.

So at this time, they certainly didn't want to fall out with Zhang Ran; otherwise, it would likely be them who suffered in the end.

"Then what do you need me to do?" Aili pondered for a long while before saying.

Zhang Ran said: "I only need Mr. Aili to use your personal connections to break into the interior of the oil circle, and at the same time, gain a firm foothold within it."

"As for my business with the Rhode Family, Mr. Aili does not need to take action; you only need to help me block some other people when the time comes."

"As for the profit distribution, an eight-two split; this refers to the distribution of this oil field. As for the new energy aspect, it depends on the capital and technical investment from both sides; we can discuss that later."

Aili fell silent again; an eight-two split looked small, but in reality, it was already a lot.

After all, this oil field was Zhang Ran's, not Aili's.

As for the invested capital and costs, they could be earned back a hundred or a thousand times over when the time came.

Of course, the main reason Aili was somewhat tempted was actually the words Zhang Ran had said earlier.

Wanting to develop new energy, especially when needing to shake a massive, inherent power, the difficulty one would have to face would be very great.

But if they were on the same side, the difficulty would drop sharply.

These were two different concepts.

Aili had known for so many years how difficult it was to develop a new industry.

If this attempt succeeded, it would have huge benefits for the future development of new energy.

Even if they could convince most people at that time, they could completely customize their own rules.

Thinking about these things, Aili unknowingly let his thoughts wander far.

But very quickly, Aili came back to his senses, stared at Zhang Ran, and said: "I am indeed somewhat tempted by what you said."

"Action is better than temptation," Zhang Ran said with a chuckle.

"Action is a bit too early, but we can already conduct some general negotiations. If there are no problems after we discuss it on our side, then I believe these two collaborations will go very smoothly," Aili said.

Hearing him say this, Zhang Ran knew he had agreed, only leaving himself a way out just in case some accident occurred later, so he could still go back on his word.
