Who wouldn't want to make money? The rich oil and gas resources in the Gulf region are definitely a highly fertile and lucrative prospect!
Even Ouyang Xue, while still in China, couldn't resist the urge to get a piece of the pie.
After a brief moment of thought, Ouyang Xue continued, "I need to consider this matter carefully!"
"And even if I decide on my own, I still need to discuss it with Liu Kai Xuan!"
Ouyang Yu pouted and replied, "Sister, why don't you trust me yet?"
"I'm your own sister, how could I possibly lie to you?"
"If you want to come here and do business, just come and do it!"
"If you need money, I can get you loans; if you need people, I can help you assemble a team!"
"In short, whatever you need, you can ask me to help you fix it. You just wait to make money!"
Although Ouyang Yu's words were very smooth, Ouyang Xue still had her concerns.
"Xiao Yu, what you've said is all correct!"
"But after all, if I come here to invest and do business, I'll be competing with Liu Kai Xuan!"
"Once our competitive relationship is established, it will be inconvenient for me to ask for your help later!"
"Don't rush to argue with me. Since we are both here for business, we should obviously follow the rules of the market!"
Ouyang Yu nodded in agreement, "Alright, sister, it's normal for you to have such concerns!"
"In that case, you should have a good discussion with the boss!"
"Actually, the boss's personality is quite easygoing!"
Ouyang Xue's personality was very different from Ouyang Yu's.
Ouyang Yu was carefree, but Ouyang Xue was quite cautious.
Moreover, the issue that Ouyang Xue was worried about earlier had some validity!
If Ouyang Xue also invested in the oil industry, she would be in commercial competition with Liu Kai Xuan.
As the saying goes, competitors are enemies!
It's not easy for two competing companies in the same industry to maintain a harmonious relationship for a long time.
At that point, it would be considered very good if Liu Kai Xuan didn't make a move against her, his competitor.
Could she expect him to help his competitor steal his own profits?
Sacrificing his own interests to help others, was she really treating Liu Kai Xuan as a saint?
In terms of considering this issue, Ouyang Xue was much more comprehensive than Ouyang Yu.
Ouyang Xue wanted to achieve something to prove her ability.
Clearly, confronting Liu Kai Xuan was not the best choice.
Ouyang Xue felt that she should carefully consider what kind of business she should pursue.
One that could successfully leverage Liu Kai Xuan's influence and achieve a perfect win-win cooperation.
...
Ultimately, after careful consideration, Ouyang Xue established an investment company within Liu Kai Xuan's development zone.
This investment company's current business primarily involved two major categories.
The first type of business was human resource dispatch. The development zone had already seen the rise of numerous commercial organizations.
These commercial organizations required a massive workforce to operate.
The development zone had a huge talent gap, and relying solely on companies to recruit them made it difficult to fundamentally solve the talent shortage.
The human resource company established by Ouyang Xue could dispatch qualified professionals across regions and even internationally.
Furthermore, the company could also conduct training and educational programs for lower-skilled workers to improve their abilities.
This way, the talent shortage problem could be fundamentally resolved.
The second category of industry was financial asset management.
Companies earned a lot of cash. If they deposited their funds in banks, they would earn very little interest on current accounts.
If they deposited in fixed-term accounts, they wouldn't be able to flexibly manage their funds when the company needed them.
Therefore, the existence of a financial asset management company was also very valuable.
Ouyang Yu was actually not very optimistic about the two industries Ouyang Xue chose.
The profit margins of these projects were not large, nowhere near as simple and direct as resource extraction.
Instead of undertaking these projects overseas, it would be better to go back to the domestic market for these industries.
However, since this was Ouyang Xue's decision, Ouyang Yu could not arbitrarily reverse her sister's wishes.
Ouyang Yu could only do her best to support her sister's endeavors.
Kai Xuan City and Bai Xue Investment Company signed a long-term strategic cooperation agreement.
Within the next three years, Bai Xue Investment Company would provide Kai Xuan City with ten thousand high-quality talents.
...
Liu Kai Xuan did not get involved in the minor squabbles between the Ouyang sisters.
After returning to China, Liu Kai Xuan began to focus on developing the automobile industry.
For Liu Kai Xuan, projects like oil and gas extraction were just quick money-making ventures.
The real core industries still had to be high-end, cutting-edge technology industries.
The automobile industry was a top priority. All difficulties and obstacles that might be encountered in this sector had to be thoroughly resolved within a certain timeframe.
Breaking through from zero to one was the most difficult part of industrial development.
Since the company executives in China couldn't handle these issues, Liu Kai Xuan himself had to take on this project.
Time passed quickly, and half a year had gone by in the blink of an eye.
Initially, Liu Kai Xuan had planned to produce a prototype engine within three months.
And indeed, Liu Kai Xuan succeeded in producing a prototype within three months.
However, the practicality of that prototype was too poor!
It suffered a severe malfunction after just one test run and was completely unusable.
Liu Kai Xuan felt that the solution had serious flaws and decided to restart the project from scratch.
This time, Liu Kai Xuan did not resort to a crude imitation strategy and rushed for success.
Instead, during the rework process, he constantly reviewed literature and archives!
Concurrently, the core components of the mechanical operation were all brought out for targeted technological research and development.
The R&D team was divided into multiple sub-teams, with each team being exclusively responsible for one core component project.
Then, a comprehensive coordination team integrated and coordinated the various sub-projects.
After more than half a year, a brand new engine was finally manufactured.
This engine was no longer manufactured using crude imitation techniques.
Instead, it was personally designed by Liu Kai Xuan and meticulously researched and developed by all the R&D teams.
Today, it was finally time for the test run.
