Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

"Yes, Your Majesty." As the helmsman of Western Petroleum Company, Randy is very aware of his current status in the empire. It can be said that many families in the empire are driven by their means of transportation. Every move of their company will affect many people. People's hearts, as for the opponent Imperial Oil Company, to put it systematically, they are in a competitive relationship, and to put it nicely, they are in a rivalry relationship. If they are commensurate in private, in fact they are in a strategic majority relationship, yes, just like Spain and Germany is the same, but theirs is between companies.

"Ruke already knows the news. Don't worry, he will keep it strictly confidential, and they will not seize your discovery." After looking at him, Alfonso said.

Imperial Oil Company and Occidental Petroleum Company are two major Spanish group companies that include exploration, mining, refining, and sales. They are the same as Standard Oil Company, Mobil, Exxon, and ConocoPhillips in the United States and are European companies. Dutch Shell is one of the seven largest oil companies in the world. They are also the most frequent oil-seeking companies in the world, with each company employing more than tens of thousands of workers. And because of their existence, a monopoly model of operation has been formed in various countries, especially the major oil companies in the United States, almost all of which are owned by the Rockefeller family. This is why Chevron later emerged in the United States after the emergence of monopoly laws. The reason for the strong appearance.

The two major oil companies in Spain are Alfonso's private property. Yes, don't doubt it. This was all established by him. When it was first established, it was open to the public. According to his external statement, the reason for establishing two companies was for fair and healthy competition, which would help improve productivity. As for his inner thoughts, he has seen many large-scale state-owned enterprises in later generations. Due to the failure of greatness, things happened that were difficult for the leaders to deal with. Therefore, at the beginning of establishment, she directly built the two companies together, and it was also a corporate strategy. The kind of cooperative relationship.

Strategic partners refer to those who can bring financial resources, advanced technology, and management experience to the enterprise through joint ventures, cooperation or other means, enhance the core competitiveness of the enterprise's technological progress and the ability to expand domestic and foreign markets, and promote the enterprise's technological progress and Cooperation between domestic and foreign advanced enterprises for industrial upgrading. This is the current cooperation model between Spain's two major oil companies.

Enterprises will realize that not only can they obtain the resources of their own enterprise, but also the resources of other enterprises, this is the key to success. This is what Alfonso believes is the best cooperation model between enterprises. It is described as:

The first aspect is to clarify the needs. It is selective cooperation; the second aspect is the four modes of cooperation. There are: supply chain cooperation, strength-based cooperation, subject-based cooperation, and competitive cooperation. The third aspect is management cooperation, including: establishing cooperative relationships, selecting partners, common goals and values. The fourth aspect is to create a cooperation network. Specific measures include: creation of a cooperation network, management of strategy and partnerships, development of cooperation, and finally vertical monopoly of cooperation.

"Tell me more about the situation there." Alfonso did not dwell on this issue.

"I don't know the exact reserves. Of the nine oil wells that have been drilled and spouted oil, three have a daily production of more than 10,000 barrels. The rest are four with over 5,000 barrels and two with 3,000 barrels. According to what Wayne sent back The telegram said that this was still within a few miles, and he estimated that the scope of this oil field should be about dozens of kilometers."

"Arrange more exploration and mining workers and equipment as soon as possible. If the equipment is not enough or the refining capacity cannot keep up, you can discuss business with Luke's Imperial Oil Company. I believe you can cooperate happily."

The two had cooperated before, but that time it was also because Imperial Oil Company discovered that several medium-sized oil fields could not keep up with the refining capacity for a while. Finally, under Alfonso's suggestion, they began to cooperate and share refining facilities. It has received cooperation from two of the world's largest oil companies, and its impact has been huge. It is difficult for other countries in the world to do this except for the several major oil companies that are also members of the Rockefeller family. After all, the interests are different and very different. It is difficult to reach a compromise, after all, everyone has competing interests. ….

When Luke received Randy's call, it was already a few hours after he learned that Occidental Petroleum had discovered a large oil field in Angola. Of course he would not refuse such a suggestion, mainly because His Majesty suggested it. No one can refuse the king's request. More importantly, although he has the right to independently establish the company process, this is the king's request. Yes, the king is the boss. He can give him rights and take them back at the same time. And Western Petroleum Company is also his industry. The resource utilization sharing effect last time he and Randy already understood the benefits after being taught by His Majesty the King. , the two of them even experimented, and the results were indeed good. This can save costs and do more other things.

Not to mention this. The realization came back to George's office at the African headquarters of Standard Oil Company in Liberia.

"What, you mean a can be returned now?" George looked with some surprise at the man in front of him, who was still sweating on his face and who was the leader of the exploration drill that Occidental Petroleum Company had brought back this time.

"Yes, our work has been done." The leader seemed to be a cheerful person, so he answered directly.

"Oh, by the way, I still don't know why you borrowed so many drill bits?" George didn't ask before. At that time, he was anxious for the money, but now looking back, is it possible to borrow so many drill bits? . . . His heart was shocked, and he thought of a possibility.

Unfortunately, although this leader spoke very directly, he was not stupid. More importantly, he already knew that matters regarding the large oil fields on the Exploration Road needed to be kept strictly confidential before he came. He did not go over half a step, but said a few words. He said a word of thanks and left with the people who came with him. What was left behind was George, who was looking at their backs thoughtfully, and the Standard Oil workers who were having a heated discussion watching the group leave.

"Why are they borrowing so many drill bits?" "You don't have to ask, of course it's for exploration, why can't they use it for research?" "Yes, but there are so many drill bits, and the amount is actually half less than before. , that is to say, their drilling project must be very large, otherwise there would be no need for so many drill bits. Look, the ones that are left behind also have small problems or are worn a lot." "I guess it must be The oil fields were discovered, and they were quite large. I stayed in Mexico, and it was difficult to exploit medium-sized oil fields on land there. So at that time, I and others had to go through a lot of hard work to develop those oil fields. Dark oil spurts from the oil wells."

"What's this? The last time I was in Texas, we discovered an oil well with a daily production of 10,000 barrels. That was really hard. We didn't sleep for several nights. Fortunately, God, he's an old man. We were so moved that we finally opened this black gold box. We earned a huge bonus from that vote, which allowed me to practice hard for two years. The reason why I came out this time I was also thinking about whether I would be as lucky as before and encounter something like this again. I really miss it."

After he said this, the people around him looked at him with envy. As one of the largest financial groups in the United States, the Rockefeller family treats its employees very kindly. The bonuses distributed were also very generous, and they couldn't help but be greedy.

But there was one person who was surprised, and that was George who was hearing them speaking not far away. Yes, why do you need so many drill bits? Of course they are used for oil exploration. And looking at it now, the other party should not be disappointed. And after using so many drill bits for exploration, does the other party look frustrated, or even look at the other party? Shuoshuo's appearance seemed to have something hidden. Could it be that, as those people just said, they have explored a medium-sized oil field, or a large oil field? George was trembling all over thinking about it, a large oil field? If it is a large oil field, it would be really shocking. After decades of development, there are only a few large oil fields under the Rockefeller family, and in the United States, apart from those few, there seem to be There are no big oil fields anymore. If Occidental Petroleum discovered a large oil field, what would be the reaction at the headquarters? ….

This is no longer a matter of his imagination, but something that he will not benefit from being in it. Wait, let’s investigate clearly first before talking, don’t let yourself get into trouble. Wait, isn’t Jonas here? If Occidental Petroleum suddenly discovers a large oil field right after he arrives, will the headquarters be dissatisfied with the luck problem he brought?

But this has its own advantages and disadvantages. He has been operating here for several years and has not discovered it. Then Jonathan can also use this excuse to describe his innocence. And in the end, it’s you who suffers. Wait, can I make a fuss about this issue with Occidental Petroleum Company? For example, I can keep it secret, but can I get a little compensation for the confidentiality fee? Thinking about it this way, George My mind started to beat actively.

Second update, today happens to be the full moon in the new book list, and it will be removed from the list in the afternoon. It is now ranked tenth among the most popular historical military games. I hope everyone will continue to support "Empire". Originally I thought it would be better to update three times, but many friends told me not to update it so quickly, because this book is in pre-order, and it would be better if I could add more updates when it comes time to recommend it. It’s right when I think about it, so I still do it now. I’ll give you two updates first. The click-through rate is a bit low today, hopefully it will improve in the last few hours.
