The difference is only one million!
This"weak" gap almost made Evans Cooks beat his chest on the spot.
He stared at Hasford's beard, hoping that a new high mark would come out of this"bastard"'s mouth, thereby extricating himself from the predicament of being"defeated by a hair's breadth."
However, until the quotation ended, there was no other higher price.
Evans Cooks went limp and slumped in his chair.
During this trip to the United Arab Emirates, the money was spent, but the expected results were not achieved. He will inevitably be severely questioned after returning to Texas.
You know, Texas Oil Company used administrative means to be the first to know about the oil field auction.
They also took the longest time to prepare and spent the most money, manpower and material resources. In the end, they lost to Martin's temporary team...
He could already imagine the violent storm he would encounter when he returned!
On the other side, Representative Sugimori of the Mitsubishi Petroleum Group also sat slantedly in his chair, trying not to look at the handsome young man not far away, so as not to show strong envy.
In fact, a week ago, he proposed to the group to increase the bidding amount to more than US$1 billion, but it was ultimately not approved by the major shareholders and president.——
"That's a shame, what's the benefit of leaving money in the bank? Are you waiting for another massive devaluation? Might as well use it to invest in the world and buy useful resources!"
For the conservatism of the board of directors, Sugimori feels deeply disgusted.
It seems that after being greatly harvested in terms of money by America's father, domestic entrepreneurs have become too cautious, and they used to be bold and"buy"."Buy, buy" disappeared, and foreign investment became cautious.
This made Sugimori Wu, who had experienced the"golden age", very frustrated
"Alas, it failed. Forget it, even the guys above are unwilling to fight, so why should I waste my energy? I might as well find a few more girls to be happy while I have this time.……"
Sugimori seemed to have thought about it, and the depression between his brows and eyes had dissipated a lot.
Also starting from this year, Sugimori Wu quickly deteriorated. He only pursued stability in doing things and followed the orders of his superiors to the letter. This allowed him to climb to a higher position, but he became more and more corrupt in matters between men and women!
(PS: This Sugimori resigned from all positions in the Nippon Petroleum Group due to the scandal in 2022. By that time, he had climbed to the position of CEO and became the company's chairman.) On the stage.
Hasford glanced around the audience with a smile, taking in the expressions of these"leeks" one by one.
Then his eyes stopped on the youngest person in the venue, and his smile faded slightly.
This young man was the only person in the field who had not bribed him, but in the end it was this man who won the final bid. Who was behind him?
Hassford absolutely did not believe that this man really relied on his own strength to successfully bid. Take a look at the targeted clauses in his bid. It was obvious that he knew the location of the oil field in advance...
Without time to think about it, Hassford began to announce Final Results:
"I announce that in this fair, just and open bidding, the successful bidder for the Setan shallow offshore oil field in the United Arab Emirates is... from the United States... Campbell Petroleum Company……"
When Hasford read out the words"fair, just and open", many people in the audience showed sarcastic looks.
After hearing the result, Martin and David Scott jumped up, and David Scott excitedly slapped Martin on the back.
With the victory of the Setan Oilfield, Campbell Oil Company was revived, and his position as CEO was also stabilized.
"bang bang bang bang"
"Snap, snap, snap."
The representatives of the company that lost the bid still sent reluctant blessings to Martin and the others, and politely raised their hands.
"Congratulations, Mr. Martin."
UAE Minister of Petroleum Al-Hasfo came down from the rostrum, extended his hand to shake Martin's hand, and then invited Martin to come to the rostrum and let the media take pictures. Today
, Martin's reputation is well-known around the world. Moreover, the great success of this cross-border business operation also allowed Martin to gain more media attention.
For a time, a group of reporters with the brands of Associated Press, Xinxia News Agency, AFP, Reuters, and Kyodo News , gathered around the audience, pointed the camera at Martin, and pressed the shutter desperately.
On this occasion, the reporters who could enter the bidding hall were basically at the United News Agency level.
Others such as"The Times"》、《New York Times》、《Secondary media such as the Japanese Newspaper must step aside.
While taking pictures, there were countless questions thrown by reporters.
Reporter:"Mr. Martin, what prompted you to cross such a huge gap and jump from the entertainment industry to the energy industry?"
Martin:"I learned this from a private exchange with my good brother, President George W. Bush. When I learned about the bidding for the Setan Oilfield, President George W. Bush told me very firmly at the time, Martin, you must bid, and I will support you. I couldn’t live up to his good intentions, so I came!"
Martin told Xiao Eye drops were put on the cloth, and the reporters below were in an uproar.
It was Xiao Bu who asked Martin to bid. So the American government is standing behind Martin?
The Associated Press reporter had some doubts in his mind. Wasn't it that some time ago the media said that the relationship between the two was not good?
But he didn't show it. After all, Martin still belongs to his own people in this place and cannot cause trouble!
Another reporter asked:"Mr. Martin, your Campbell Petroleum Company won the bid for only $1 million more. Did you get any inside information?" (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network.!)
Martin looked at the reporter who asked the question, and saw that it was from Agence France-Presse. He didn’t feel strange at all - there was no way, Gallic chickens just like to question, they even question their own political system, and the future will be questioned again and again. , the country was successfully tricked and occupied by gangsters.
So he nodded friendly towards the reporter and replied:"Campbell Petroleum Company participated in this bidding based on the principle of fairness, and there is absolutely no inside information. Mr. reporter, you can question me, but you cannot Question the organizers of the United Arab Emirates!"
Hassford on the side said quickly:"Yes, this bidding is absolutely fair and just!"
Then a reporter from Xinxia News Agency asked:"Mr. Martin, may I ask about Campbell Petroleum Company? How long will it take to drill for oil? Can your oil be provided to other countries besides the United States?"
Martin kept smiling and looked at the black-haired and yellow-skinned reporter who asked the question, China 80 It was still an oil exporting country in the 1990s, but has become an oil importing country since the 1990s.
This not only marks the development of China's industry, but also represents China's shortage of petroleum energy. In the future, China will be one of the countries most dedicated to developing electric energy. This is why.
He replied:"Campbell Petroleum Company is an internationally oriented energy company. As long as the price is right, we are of course willing to sell oil to other countries outside the United States, including China!"
Martin responded to reporters' questions with ease.
The Emirati staff are also experienced and kept reporters at a certain distance to prevent them from coming into contact with Martin.
At the same time, David Scott had already started calling the team of lawyers and accountants waiting outside the venue to prepare for the signing.
(Brothers, please take care of me. Please give me some comments, flowers, collections, and rewards. Thank you. Gong).
