Chapter 515

Water can turn into gasoline—what kind of concept is that? How much does a ton of water cost? Just over a yuan. How much does a ton of gasoline cost? Several thousand yuan. This is basically a business with ten thousand times the profit! How much money could he make in a year? That number made Tian Xiaopeng's heart beat much faster.

In the past, Tian Xiaopeng had indeed made money, and it came quickly. Reselling a single approval document could yield profits of hundreds of thousands or even a million. However, even as the son of a provincial governor, these approval documents weren't available every day. In this day and age, only scarce goods could fetch a high price, but since they were scarce goods, how could approval documents be so easy to get?

It would be considered good if Tian Xiaopeng could get ten or twenty approval documents in a year. Moreover, he couldn't keep all the money earned from these documents for himself. Even as the son of a provincial governor, he had to grease the palms of those who handled the work, and he couldn't treat the lackeys who ran errands for him poorly. It would be remarkable if he could earn a few million or ten million a year.

He was also generous with his spending, acting as if money were dirt. Therefore, although he looked glorious on the surface, he didn't have much money left over, and sometimes he felt that money wasn't enough.

But if he had this water-to-oil technology, becoming a billionaire would be just around the corner. Approval documents were scarce, but where was there no water? If Jiangcheng had nothing else, it had plenty of water!

He had also asked the middleman if this water-to-oil thing was reliable. The middleman took out many newspapers, all of which had reports on water-to-oil, as well as photos of Wang Hongcheng with leaders, inscriptions from leaders, and appraisal results from experts, etc. After looking at these things, Tian Xiaopeng basically concluded that this matter was reliable.
