the point i'm trying to illustrate with this chart is: there are a lot of potential exciting projects like monkey island.  Through you and Uncle Jim's connection, with Monkey Island/Magnolia/Project ABC as a starting point / talking point, we can check out a lot of all other interesting Louisana/Taxes/Gulf of Mexico U. S. projects.  You are the best person to help your friend Ye to do that, because you know a lot of folks in the area and you have the access to decision-makers / helpful local folks with insight about the region.   Of course, in the process, we will encounter a mixed bag of both good projects and not so mature proposals etc., as expected with any investment research and project selection process. 

If you sort out all the Louisana projects on this list (it took me a long time to put together, even though only a couple of pages, so hope it will be useful to you), you will see Louisiana and Taxes projects dominate all upcoming projects.  

With a list of all Louisana projects + monkey island as a talking point, would that be enough interest to possibly listen to more of the Louisiana project(s)? Even all the the U. S. projects?  I would imaging that Mr. Richard Iyoube and local business folks would be thrilled, doesn't matter which project might be considered or even if we choose to or not to invest.  It is the goodwill and exchange of thoughts that matters the most. However, maybe don't want to make a lot of noises, keep a low profile is always good with any potential business negotiation. 

btw, Greg of Monkey Island was not all that straight-forward with us, there are part of his presentation that offers helpful insight and worth our consideration, but some other stuff he said doesn't make a lot of sense or was exaggerating and a bit misleading...or maybe I'm not understanding things correctly, so I will need more time to catch up on the learning curve as sometimes I tend to get confused in the details and miss the big picture.  

 More report and files to come.   Will send piece by piece so that you can read along.  

Best,
