Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

If necessary, Southern Africa can also split up the Adang Company. With more people, there is more power, and the quarrels can be louder.

What worries Little John and Little William is not the Adan Company, but the Najd Oil Company. Just by looking at the name, you can tell that this company was established for the oil fields of the Najd Sultanate. Little John and Little William did not know about the Najd Sultanate.

has granted the right to develop oil and natural gas resources in the Sultanate of Najd to the Najd Petroleum Company.

This mining right also has exclusive rights, which means that the oil and natural gas resources in the Sultanate of Najd can only be developed by Najd Petroleum Company, and other oil companies, including Adan Company, are excluded.

Of course, this does not mean that Adan Company cannot enter Najd, as long as Adan Company obtains authorization from Najd Oil Company.

Oh, the time limit of this mining right is 99 years, starting in 1926 and ending in 2025.

 The contract can of course be renewed during this period.

"Gentlemen, Najd Petroleum Company has obtained all oil and natural gas exploration rights in the Sultanate of Najd, so let's talk about other issues." The general manager of Najd Petroleum Company is also Simon Ha, who has just taken office.

Byrd.

Little John and Little William looked at each other and could see the helplessness in each other's eyes.

There is no other way. What is the relationship between the Sultanate of Najd and southern Africa? Little John and Little William had no hope of obtaining exclusive mining rights, and would be satisfied as long as they could get a share of the pie.

Although they are dissatisfied, Little John and Little William have nothing to do. The Sultanate of Najd is an independent country recognized by the League of Nations. If it were another country, Little John and Little William might be able to lobby the United Kingdom and the United States to issue war threats, but the Sultanate of Najd

no.

The Sultanate of Najd has joined the Southern African Union. If any country dares to issue a war threat to the Sultanate of Najd, it will start the Second World War in minutes.

 No one can bear this result.

"Mr. Hubbard, if we want to get development authorization, what conditions do we need?" Thompson also imagined that southern Africans would care about some incense.

Hello everyone, our official account will find gold every day, and you can get the last benefit at the end of the year by paying attention to the red envelopes. Please seize the opportunity to use the official account.

"Sorry Mr. Thompson, Najd Petroleum Company will not authorize any other company to develop oil and natural gas resources in the Sultanate of Najd in the short term." Simon Hubbard directly refused. This kind of request is like directly approaching Najd Petroleum Company.

It’s the same as asking for money.

“Lord Beihai, is this your goodwill in southern Africa?” Little John has never been so angry in his whole life.

"Mr. Rockefeller, let's be realistic. Adan Company is not a company that can be bullied by others. If you are willing to cooperate, then we can discuss the quota issue. If you are not willing, then our meeting can end."

Alvin sneered. When Rockefeller was expanding aggressively, he never showed goodwill to Rockefeller's colleagues.

This is because Adan Company has taken advantage of the right time and place, so Standard Oil and Royal Shell had to bow their heads and try someone else. The famous Seven Oil Sisters are not easy to mess with.

 The seven oil sisters are the seven companies in the previous chapter except Anglo-American Petroleum, five from the United States and two from the United Kingdom.

The term "Seven Sisters of Oil" first appeared in 1975 in another time and space. Before the emergence of OPEC, the Seven Sisters of Oil became synonymous with oil companies.

  Quota, this is a new concept proposed by Alvin.

 Before there was the concept of quotas, major oil companies carried out predatory development of oil fields, extracting as much as they could. This resulted in oversupply, lower prices, and low profits for oil companies.

Adan Company hopes to introduce a quota mechanism in order to understand the contradiction between supply and demand. If a quota system can be formed, a healthy price mechanism can be formed, and the profits of oil companies can also be guaranteed.

 “Haha” Little John was noncommittal.

  Elizabeth Oilfield has high production, good oil quality, low cost and strong competitiveness.

If a quota system is introduced, then Adan Company will undoubtedly be able to take away the most quotas. By then, before Adan Company’s oil quotas are sold out, no one will be interested in the oil of other oil companies.

  If Alvin had put forward this suggestion before today, it would indeed be worthy of discussion.

Now that Southern Africa has established several oil companies, it is obvious that they are seeking more quotas, so this issue has lost the value of discussion.

"If the quota system is established, the one that will be most affected is our Adan Company. Don't mistake our goodwill for malice." Alvin is welcome. This suggestion is actually a proactive profit transfer. If Little John can't accept it, then Alvin can't do anything about it.

, then everyone will compete with each other based on their abilities.

“Of course your Adam Company is willing to unify the quota, so that you can benefit the most.” Little William was very resentful, and Persian Oil was on the verge of collapse.

"Unifying quotas is not impossible, but I think we should unify prices, so as to fundamentally solve the problem." Gulf Oil General Manager Thomas Mellon Jr. also has ideas. Thomas Mellon is the current U.S. Treasury Secretary Andrew May.

Long's nephew.

Gulf Oil Company is an industry owned by the Mellon family. The Mellon family is not only involved in the oil industry, but is also the famous "aluminum king" in the United States. Mellon Bank is one of the strongest banks in the United States.

 Compared with quotas, Gulf Oil prefers unified prices. After all, Adang's oil price is the lowest on the market, but Adan's profit margin is indeed the highest, which is unacceptable to other oil companies.

 Unifying prices will at least weaken part of Adan's competitiveness, which is more important than quotas.

To put it bluntly, if the price is not uniform, some oil companies will not be able to sell the oil even if they get quotas, which is also meaningless.

"Okay, I think the price of five shillings a barrel is good." Cheng Yuan sneered. Little Thomas was also good at calculating, but this was also meaningless.

“Impossible, five shillings a barrel is lower than our cost. Are we allowed to drink from the northwest wind?” Richard Bloom, general manager of the British American Oil Company, did not accept this plan.

Anglo-American Petroleum Company has gone bankrupt once. Last year, a large oil field was discovered east of Lake Maracaibo in Venezuela. Anglo-American Company reorganized and finally obtained the oil field exploration rights in Venezuela this time.

Obtaining oil field mining rights is only the first step. Next, we have to drill oil wells, lay pipelines, build refineries, lay out sales networks, and a series of other tasks. Therefore, Anglo American Petroleum has not made a profit yet, and attending this meeting is just to make up for it.

of.

“Then what should we do? This won’t work, that won’t work either, let’s just break up.” Alvin is still young after all, and compared to these old foxes, his patience is seriously lacking.

Little John was patient and capable. During the recess the next day, Little John went directly to Eagle Fort and donated 1 million US dollars to the Phyllis Charitable Foundation. At the same time, he also donated several precious cultural relics to the Nyasaland State Museum.

.

 They are all cultural relics from the Far East.

This is very Rockefeller. While Rockefeller expanded wildly in business, he was also a famous social philanthropist.

According to statistics, Rockefeller donated approximately US$550 million to charity during his lifetime, of which US$250 million was donated to the Rockefeller Foundation alone.

 That's the foundation that funded William King.

 So this can explain the nature of charity in the United States. Donations are tax-deductible, and donations are made to anyone.

"Madam, if the Marquis of Nyasaland is willing, I would like to talk to the Marquis of Nyasaland about quotas and prices." Little John is going to kick the rhythm of other oil companies.

This is not impossible. Although Rockefeller has been split up, he still controls 70% of the oil production in the United States and 80% of the oil pipelines. The oil production in the United States accounts for about % of the world's oil production.

Around forty.

Together with the East India Oilfield, the Elizabeth Oilfield also accounts for 40% of the world's oil production.

“Sorry Mr. Rockefeller, Rockefeller is too busy with his work. Regarding oil, you can completely trust Alvin.” Phyllis directly refused Little John’s request.

Roque doesn’t have time to deal with these messy things. Business competition is not charity. Bankruptcy is what should be done, and bankruptcy is what should be closed down. Three or five of the world’s largest oil companies are enough.

"Lord Beihai's character is too strong. Wouldn't it be too rash to let a 20-year-old child represent a company with an annual output of hundreds of millions in a meeting that may determine the future and destiny of a global industry?" Little John, born in 1874, said.

, a little older than Rock.

"Mr. Rockefeller, Locke has too many properties under his name, and Alvin's brother is a character who doesn't care about anything. In the future, most of the properties under Locke's name will be inherited by Alvin." Phyllis was immediately unhappy, and Alvin

His personality is indeed a bit strong, but this cannot be blamed on Alvin. Born in a family like Roque, it is normal to have a strong personality, but it is abnormal to be like Gavin.

It cannot be said that it is abnormal. Gavin is just not interested in business. Everyone has their own ambitions. Researching biological embryos is also very meaningful work.

Little John was very helpless. The British were so annoying. They said they were short-handed. They didn't even give him any face, and 1 million US dollars were wasted.

What Little John didn't know was that although there were many million-dollar donations, they were not that shocking to the charitable foundation under Phyllis's name. After all, people like Rock, Stoudemire, Henry, and even Christian

, each donation is more than one million.

Oh, Rock and Stoudemire, what Henry donated was Rand. In terms of value, Rand is worth more than the US dollar.

Phyllis’s attitude is very clear. Alvin’s character is like that. If you can talk, talk. If you really can’t talk, don’t feel bad about yourself. Adan Company has no shortage of collaborators.
