Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

George David is the general manager of Standard Oil Company in Africa, and is the largest presence of Standard Oil in Africa. Now he is slowly smoking a cigarette, and puff after puff of white smoke slowly rises, making this person... This office looks a bit like a mysterious place in heaven.

When he was in the United States, he knew that Africa was very barren. There were many news reports about this in the United States, but before he saw it, he even imagined that even if it was barren, it would be similar to the sparsely populated places in Alaska. So at that time, When the company asked him to come to Africa, he agreed without hesitation. He even promised to let the company flourish in Africa.

It has been four years since he came to Africa in 1904. In four years, he, who was once called a real white man by American girls, is now no different from the natives of Latin America. How could he, who always thought he was a proud white man, accept this? Despite this, he still persisted. Now I am used to such high temperatures. But he has another purpose in coming to Africa, which is to look for oil. Looking for oil. Of course, exploration is very much needed, and the difficulty of exploration is also great. He has discovered large oil fields in the large oil fields in Texas, USA. Because of his contribution and participation, he also believed that it should not be difficult in Africa. However, things got stuck here.

I have been in Africa for several years. Except for the sporadic discovery of small oil fields with limited storage capacity in a few limited areas, the report card he has submitted to the company headquarters so far has been almost blank.

If this was inaction, then it would be a big deal that he had embezzled a lot of the company's property. 200,000 U.S. dollars is not a small amount. Now a car from the Ford Motor Company in the United States only costs 950 U.S. dollars. According to the proud saying spread by Americans, if all Americans want to buy a car now, then just one American will buy one. A year's salary can buy a Ford car. If it is Audi in Spain and BMW in Germany, it will take about a year and a half.

George David is now the branch manager of Standard Oil Company in Africa. He has a very high level. His salary is 10 times the average salary in the United States. As for commissions, how can he dare to ask for commissions now that he has not made any achievements? In other words, his annual salary is about 10,000 US dollars, but he has spent a huge amount of money in the past few years equivalent to his salary of nearly 20 years based on the salary of 1908. Originally, this was nothing, after all, he was still in Africa, but God may have been disappointed with him. Just last week, he received news from the headquarters that the company might make some changes in the near future because his performance was not satisfactory. The decision would be to recall him to the headquarters and replace him with someone else, and he still knew the candidate, and he was a very profound one. His former nemesis, Jonathan, was a man he led in his debut, but like a white-eyed wolf, his wings grew hard and then came back to bite him.

George thought about the consequences if Jonathan knew about his misappropriation of company funds. Needless to say, he would face a summons from the court. He might even face the pursuit of the Locke family. After all, who in the United States doesn't know that American society is controlled by two major families combined with numerous family consortiums, one is the Morgan family, and the other is the Rockefeller family. If the matter was revealed, he would really have nowhere to escape. I believe that few countries are willing to take him in and offend the Rockefeller family.

This year is the last day. The call from above will come this year. He will receive the news whether he will really be replaced. The final answer will be today.

"I hope you won't be transferred in the end." George covered his head in pain, with a look of pain on his face. The reason why he misappropriated or even called embezzlement of the company's funds was that he was forced to do it. The younger brother in New York is a gambler, and this is his only younger brother. He has to take care of him. Although he is nearly thirty years old, in his eyes, he is still the brother he relied on because of the sudden death of his parents. , he can't leave this brother who is nearly 10 years younger than him. No matter what he is like, in his eyes, his status is not even much lower than that of his wife and children. It was of course impossible for him to repay a gambling debt of more than 100,000 US dollars with his salary. After all, he still had a family, and he tried many people to suggest borrowing money but no one responded. In the end, as a last resort, he bit his tongue and kept his mouth shut. With his eyes emboldened, he became a corrupt member of the company. ….

His heart was very hesitant, and he even had nightmares about being discovered every night during that period. Fortunately, it took time for him to feel relieved, but unexpectedly, now the headquarters has made such an undecided decision. To him, this was like thunder on the ground, making him feel like he was about to lose his mind. Does he really have to face everything he has seen in his dreams? A dream come true? George had a helpless and spiritless smile on his face.

The sudden memory of "Ling Ling Ling" made him even more demented. Is it coming? coming? Really coming? Looking at the bright sunshine outside, he felt a different kind of darkness at this moment. It was so dark. Why did the day feel so solemn, which made people feel a sense of increased pressure.

He really didn't want to take it, but he had to take it. He could push it off for one day but not the next. What's more, in this country founded by African American immigrants in Liberia, Rockefeller's industry is not limited to this one. Don't find anyone else to come when the time comes. It will be easier to find when asking.

Forget it, what is supposed to come will come. Carry forward the spirit of Washington and make yourself more like an American. So he picked up the advanced communication tool in front of him as if he was going to die.

"Hi, hello, is this Mr. George?"

"it's me"

"There's something wrong with my good teacher's voice. Are you a little unhappy? Tell me, maybe I can help you solve it. Hehe! Let me guess, is it because you are about to be transferred back to the headquarters and have already passed it? Has the news been passed on? Oh my gosh, I thought I was the first one to call, but I didn’t expect there was someone faster than me. It seems that you have quite a lot of energy."

"Jonathan, you bastard, thanks to me treating you like that, you are worse than a beast."

"Do you treat me like that? How do you treat me? Is it because I learned oil exploration from you and then after I discovered the oil field, you took all the credit and claimed that you discovered it? Also, is it because my girlfriend was You showed off to us as a high-income earner from time to time, and then snatched her away and made her your wife? Or is it because your lazy brother got drunk and beat me like crazy? When he fought back, did you come up and help him punch and kick me? George, I am very grateful to you for helping me learn a lot of knowledge, but I despise your extremely indulgent attitude towards your useless brother. In fact, This is also your weakness. Hehe, I don’t know if this weakness will be infinitely expanded by me. George, I hope I can give you a surprising gift when I arrive in Liberia on the first day.

Gift? surprise? Wait, does Jonathan know that he used the money? "Wait a minute, could you please clarify what this so-called surprise is?"

George's hand holding the phone was trembling a little, but his voice still conveyed it completely.

"Since it's a surprise, of course we'll talk about it when the time comes. That's fun, isn't it? Just take your time guessing these days, okay, listen to me, your brother I met in Manhattan last week when I was on a business trip to New York. , he was being chased and beaten at the time, and it seemed that he owed money to others. For his pity, I paid it off for him. Fortunately, it was only a small amount of one hundred dollars, so you don’t have to pay it back to me for him. . But if you think of as much as 108,000, it would be a bit difficult to handle. I have done my best to be kind and righteous. I wish him good luck in the future. Goodbye, Teacher George."

Time passed by second by second, but George still held the phone and there was still no sound from the other end of the phone. George was recalling the conversation just now.

"Am I really wrong? But he is my only brother. Is it wrong for me to love him? But my brother continues like this? What should I do, and what should I do with my wife and children? What should I do? My family has become somewhat fragmented because of my younger brother. If this incident is revealed, the fragmentation is not far away. George, George, are you really so broken this time? Is it over? There is no chance to turn over?….

Or accept your fate. I don't know if he wanted to open it or not. He put the phone back to its original place and was standing up to go outside and breathe more fresh air. However, the ringing of the phone stopped him again.

"Ring ring ring..."

Did you tell the news? There is some hesitation, but since there is no answer to solve it, it is better to be more relaxed.

"Hello, this is Standard Oil's African headquarters, and I'm George David, general manager."

"Hello, let me introduce myself first. I am the African branch manager of Occidental Petroleum Company. I would like to ask, is it convenient for you now?"

Occidental Petroleum? Isn’t that the one from the Spanish Empire? After thinking about it, George thought of which Spanish Empire is it. It is said that it has now become the seventh largest oil company in the world. Before it is Standard Oil, Spanish Imperial Oil Company, Exxon, Mobil, Dutch Shell and After ConocoPhillips of the United States, it ranks third in Europe in addition to Grampa and Imperial Petroleum of Spain. It occupies a large share of European oil sales, especially in southern Europe. It has a huge influence.

Western Petroleum Company has very little contact with Standard Oil Company, and now they are coming to find themselves. Why is this? Is it Spanish Petroleum Company that is trying to steal Standard Oil's attention? Or do you want to cooperate with them? However, you should go to the headquarters, not your own penniless place. George put aside what had just happened, but now felt puzzled and puzzled by it.
