Reborn American Giants

Faced with Steve Black, the CEO of Exxon Petroleum Company, who stabbed him in the back, Aaron suppressed his anger. Texaco did not have enough strength to choose to go to war with Exxon, but he just pinched it.

Holding back this breath with a pinched nose, it was too difficult for Aaron, who had been accustomed to giving orders for a long time, so his tone seemed particularly rude to Steve.

Of course, Steve understood the origin of Aaron's bad attitude, but he didn't care about it at all. Although the methods used by Exxon were somewhat unflattering, they were all very normal and common methods in business competition.

.If Texaco falls like this, eh

Of course Exxon is happy and will be very happy to accept its large amount of assets to strengthen itself. Of course, on the other hand, Exxon has nothing to lose. Anyway, Texaco itself is a competitor of Exxon Petroleum Company, and everyone will still be in the international energy field in the future.

Everyone is using their own methods to continue competing.

Faced with the rude words of Texaco CEO Aaron Elvis, Steve was not unhappy at all. He turned to Victor who was watching the show, "Mr. Jose, 15% share is for Exxon.

It is unacceptable. If I agree to this condition and return to the company, what awaits me will be accountability from the board of directors. I hope

Can you think carefully about it and adjust the share allocation of Exxon's oil?" After a pause, Steve said meaningfully: "Of course, all this will not be in vain for you. Exxon is in Congress

We have extensive connections and connections with Wall Street. If you have any needs in the future, we will find a way to help you."

This is an invisible threat. Compared to Royal Dalton Petroleum Company, which has a royal background, and Texaco, which is also an energy giant, among the four people here, Green Bay Energy under Victor's name is undoubtedly the most powerful.

A weak existence, if Green Bay Energy had not signed a resource mining agreement with the Grenada government and held the resource mining rights of Golden Bay, it would have been impossible to have a seat in this small conference room.

Facing Steve's words, Victor chuckled softly. The reason why he dragged Texaco and the Royal Doulton Company with a royal background together was to prepare for now.

Royal Doulton Petroleum Company provides energy services to the British royal family and royal enterprises. It is basically the same size as Penzel Company, but it does represent the face of the British.

After the British kings lost their rights, they became a symbol of Britain. The current king has been on standby for 31 years. Every year, the country allocates a large amount of "royal appropriation" to support the royal family members. The British people

But there is not much dissatisfaction. In addition to the fact that the royal family has become the spiritual totem in the hearts of the British people, it is also because the Queen of England, who has no real power, has maintained the unity of the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom is a United Kingdom, and the royal family is the co-owner. The Queen is also the 52 Commonwealth.

Co-owner of the country.

At the same time, Britain is also the most important ally of the United States in Europe. The relationship between these cousins ​​has become quite complicated since the American Revolution.

"Mr. Steve," Oliver Levin, the representative of Royal Doulton, intervened in the conversation between Steve and Victor. He broke Steve's carefully prepared invisible pressure on Victor.

This was also one of the conditions that Victor came to visit and agreed with Oliver, that is, on the affairs of the Grenada oil field, both parties must maintain the same pace, advance and retreat together, and ensure each other's share of interests.

"Sir Levine, what advice do you have?" Steve's original plan was to use Exxon's powerful power to force Victor, the weakest of the four people present, to give in, in order to wrest it from him.

The plan to get more shares was ruined by Levine. Although he secretly hated it in his heart, he still tried hard to keep a smile on his face and saluted Oliver Levine gently.

"I don't take advice seriously. I just have something I don't want to say."

"Please tell me, isn't it that everyone is here to have a good discussion and come up with a satisfactory result?"

"Exxon is indeed a very great company, but it is not irreplaceable. Therefore, I think Exxon, as a company that has been standing for nearly a hundred years, will understand this very well."

Steve Black was a little surprised when he saw Oliver Levin's fat body sitting on the gray cloth single sofa. The meaning of the words coming out of his mouth shocked Steve's heart.

He looked at Victor, who was smiling, and Aaron Elvis, who had the same expression, and suddenly realized that these three companies must have signed an "Offensive and Defensive Alliance" agreement in advance behind Exxon Oil's back.

Advance and retreat together to resist Exxon's strong pressure.

Oliver Levin is right to say that although Exxon is the world's number one oil and energy company, it does not sit back and relax without challengers. Not to mention the British BP and the Dutch Shell, in the United States alone,

There are also twin brothers Chevron and Gulf, which were also born out of Rockefeller's Standard Oil. They are eyeing Exxon's number one position and are ready to launch a charge and challenge at any time.

Now Steve was a little hesitant when faced with the three companies that had chosen the same pace. He knew that in a short period of time, Exxon would never be able to tear apart the alliance between these three companies. For a period of time, facing the common advancement and retreat of the three companies,

Exxon can only choose a temporary avoidance strategy.

"Mr. Steve," Victor saw Steve sinking into silence, and the scene fell silent for a while. He knew that it was time for him to appear, "I can understand Exxon's dissatisfaction with the division of shares, but the entire oil field project only has this

With so much share, it is already the limit to accommodate just a few of our companies.

The government of Grenada has retained a 30% share, which is what it should be. Since the nationalization of Venezuelan oil in 1958, the revenue sharing between various oil-producing countries and foreign oil companies has become 50:50. I will work with the government of Grenada

The share between us has been reduced to 30%. This is my contribution to the Golden Bay Oilfield project, so the 16% share obtained by Green Bay Energy was entirely obtained by myself. Do you think this is reasonable?

?”

Aaron Elvis and Oliver Levin nodded in agreement with Victor's statement, and Steve Black couldn't help but nod his head, "Exxon has no objection to this, and Green Bay Energy can invite Exxon."

Sen, thank you for joining us."

"Exxon can agree with this, then I will continue," Victor stretched his body, "Grenada, as a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, and Her Majesty the Queen as its nominal co-owner, can allow us to jointly form

Putting an energy company under the cloak of the Commonwealth will reduce many unnecessary troubles in Grenada. Therefore, this is also the reason why Royal Doulton Petroleum Company joined. Do you think the 14% share is reasonable? Mr. Steve.

"

Victor raised his eyebrows and looked at Steve Black, who was sitting opposite him, looking as ugly as if he had swallowed a fly, and said: "It seems that Mr. Steve has no objection, so next is Texaco.

As the de facto operator of the oil field, Texaco needs to invest a lot of resources in the construction and exploitation of the oil field, so its 25% share is not excessive. Therefore, now we have the resource exploitation rights.

Local relationships, work methods..."

Victor looked at Steve Black with a half-smile, "Exxon, as the last company to join, can obtain a 15% share, so that we will not encounter too many obstacles in the future sales of oil products in the United States.

I just invited your company to join. Now since you want to increase your share, I will ask Mr. Steve Black on behalf of Texaco and Royal Doulton whether Exxon can be a co-founder of the upcoming Grenada.

What does the energy company (gufe) bring..."

"We can also invest manpower and material resources in the construction of oil fields, so that the joint enterprise can produce more profits faster..." Steve Black felt regret after blurting out these words.

Compared with onshore oil extraction, the cost of offshore oil extraction is greatly increased due to the influence of depth and equipment. Comparing the world's oil-producing countries, the average cost of extracting a barrel of oil is US$17 per barrel in Russia and US$29 per barrel in Mexico.

, US$36 per barrel, Canada

The largest one is about 48 US dollars per barrel, and Saudi Arabia is the cheapest, with an average of about 3-6 US dollars per barrel. That is to say, if you drill a well, you will find oil a few kilometers underground. In some areas, if you drill an oil well, the oil will flow by itself like tap water.

When it came out, it was like dollars flowing out of the ground.

Therefore, offshore oil extraction requires greater investment in equipment to obtain sufficient benefits in the short term. The price of an offshore platform is hundreds of millions of dollars. The commitment made by Steve represents Exxon’s future oil fields.

During the construction, tens or tens of billions of dollars will be invested.

Victor avoided Steve's eyes and looked at each other very covertly. Both sides were full of smiles. Aaron covered his mouth with his hand and "coughed", cleared his throat and said: "Since Steve, you are like this

With sincerity, Texaco is willing to give up 5% of its share to Exxon Petroleum, and I hope that everyone can obtain generous returns in the subsequent construction of the Grenada oil field..."

All this is the result of joint discussions between the three companies. Of course, Exxon will not be satisfied with its 15% share. Of the 25% share owned by Texaco, 5% is prepared for Exxon.

of.

However, in order to obtain this share, Exxon must pay conditions that satisfy the other three companies. The promise made by Steve can allow everyone to reap benefits faster.

"Now, let us all talk about the benefits that Green Bay Energy should obtain from its resource extraction rights..."

Victor had a smile on his face, sharp white teeth showing at the corners of his mouth...
