Chapter 40 The Butterfly Effect
In history, Mexico discovered large oil fields in mid-1908, but Yan Guang has not found such news in the newspaper. Yan Guang, who had already given up, quickly asked Charlie to help collect newspapers about Mexican oil after discovering this.
After waiting for three days, when Yan Guang left Charlie's office with a large stack of newspapers and returned to his room, he found that there was indeed no news about large oil fields in the newspaper. Moreover, because there were no large oil fields discovered for many years, Mexico's oil heat has begun to decline, and many businessmen who had invested a lot of money in Mexico committed suicide...
"Absolutely..."
Yan Guang scratched his head. In his opinion, there were only two reasons for this result. The first was that Mexico did not have oil, which of course was impossible.
The second is the butterfly effect...
"A butterfly in the tropical rainforest of the Amazon River Basin in South America, with occasional flapping its wings a few times, can cause a tornado in Texas, USA in two weeks."
Yan Guang came to this world in January 1908, while the Dos Pocas Well 1, a large oil field in Mexico, began to explode in June 1908.
Logically speaking, in such a short time, Yan Guang could not fan out much wind, but in the first month of his arrival in this world, Yan Guang created many things that should have appeared in a few years or even decades to make a living. This itself disrupted the original historical process. Later, London rubber stocks, Sichuan textile factories, etc. made this process even more chaotic...
Of course, the wheels of history are still very strong. At least, like the first World War, the two sides have prepared for decades, Yan Guang, the little butterfly, cannot interfere. However, if it were just a well in Mexico, it would have been possible to produce oil earlier or later, or even for some reason, the driller deviated from its original position...
Doesn't seem impossible?

After thinking about this, Yan Guang began to collect information about Mexican Petroleum.
After getting the information he wanted, Yan Guang first took out 500,000 silver dollars from HSBC Bank, and then returned to Sichuan on the last cargo ship transporting looms and spindles.
"Ding Han, I'll ask you for the time I've left..." Yan Guang patted Song Dinghan's shoulder and said with a relaxed look. Behind him were Wang Er and thirty team members selected by him.
“…Please rest assured…”
This time, Yan Guang returned to Sichuan and left 500,000 silver dollars to Song Dinghan as liquidity, and then asked Wang Er to select 30 of the fifty security guards to go to the United States. Yan Guang did not explain to them what to do in the United States.
Yan Guang did not tell these team members that they were afraid that they would leak the news, and did not tell Song Dinghan that he was afraid that he would object.
Spend millions of dollars to find oil fields in Mexico? If Yan Guang said it, everyone would think he was crazy, and Song Dinghan would definitely object, because doing so seemed to him throwing millions of dollars into the center of the Pacific Ocean.
In fact, Yan Guang also thought about what would happen if he failed, so he left a small part of his funds in Sichuan. In this way, if he succeeded, everyone would naturally be happy. If he failed, there would be a chance to make a comeback.
Of course, Yan Guang didn't think he would fail. What he was worried about now was how to safely bring the money back after finding the oil field.
This is why he took thirty people to the United States. Compared with the bodyguards recruited in the United States, they who know how to speak English are at least relatively less likely to be bribed.
Of course, he left with thirty people, and there were only twenty security guards left in the company, so Yan Guang could only ask Song Dinghan to recruit thirty people again.
After leaving Chongqing and arriving in Shanghai again, Yan Guang did not tell Charlie and Richard that he was going to the United States to find oil fields because he did not like to be watched by Yan Guang, who was crazy, but Yan Guang still bought a batch of pistols from Charlie's foreign company.
This time Yan Guang bought not Mauser's wrench gun, but Browning's 1903 pistol from Belgium FN. After all, this time he went to Mexico just to defend himself, and the price of the wrench gun is indeed higher than that of Browning.
Of course, the most important thing is that if you buy a gun from Charlie, you can get a discounted price, and he only has Browning.
After making all preparations, Yan Guang took Wang Er and thirty other people onto a cruise ship to the United States.
On the cruise ship, more than 30 Chinese with braids were quite eye-catching, and the thirty people brought from Sichuan also looked like a curious baby, but...
Just as the cruise ship set off, and these thirty people were looking at the sea with curious baby, something that was quite shocking to them happened...
Just in front of them, Yan Guang took off his hat. Of course, it was nothing, but Yan Guang took off his braids and exposed his very clean bald head...
It was not until this time that the group of people realized that their boss was wearing a fake braid...
"Second brother, have you known for a long time that the boss is wearing fake braids?" After Yan Guang walked farther, a security guard who was familiar with Wang Er took a photo of him.
Since Wang Er is Yan Guang's number one confidant and there is another word in his name, other people usually call him second brother, and as for the eldest brother, of course, it is the boss Yan Guang. And when Yan Guang took off his braid just now, only Wang Er's expression did not change among the people present, so the others thought he had known it a long time ago.
"I know." Wang Er nodded. How could he not know that Yan Guang had been following him all the time? Before boarding the boat, he was with him to go to the barber shop to get his head off.
"Then why don't you tell us..." Another security guard said with some complaint. Unlike Guangdong and Shanghai where the Qing government turned a blind eye to each other, Sichuan would have to be beheaded if it had cut its braids at this time, so after discovering that Yan Guang's braids were fake, he almost scared him to death.
But Wang Er said nothing, just glanced at them and left, leaving only thirty people on the deck.
After a long voyage, the cruise ship finally arrived in San Francisco.
This time the voyage was very smooth. Unlike Yan Guang's past few voyages, he always encountered some racists. Of course, he might have encountered them, but after seeing more than 30 people on Yan Guang's side, he didn't dare to come up.
After arriving in San Francisco, Yan Guang had just got off the boat and went to Chinatown again to visit Mr. Huang. This time he did not see Huang Yihua.
After learning that Yan Guang was coming to pay homage to Mr. Huang, Huang Yihua curled his lips and took a few brothers who also joined the Tongmenghui with him to pay homage to Sun Yat-sen who had just arrived in San Francisco.
During this period, he was completely bored with the name Yan Guang.
