Chapter four hundred and eighty fourth lingering fear(2/2)
It was only ten o'clock in the morning. Not to mention the combatants who were directly involved in the ambush, Zhou Han was still a little shaken and had not yet figured out a clear idea.
"Are you planning to point the clues to Quekotos, then connect the pirates who attacked the manor with the Quekotos drilling robbery, and then take the initiative to contact Langhua Petroleum Group?" Sturgeon thought quickly.
He guessed the key point immediately and asked.
"Those who gain the Way will get more help, or in other words, those who help more will get the Way. In short, at any time, we must think about making more of our friends and less of our enemies. This seems to be the idea of united front in the country, right?
It seems a bit cliché, but it is not easy to stick to this principle," Cao Mo said, "I just squinted for a while and was thinking, Langhua Petroleum was forced to evacuate all its personnel.
, but who of you is going to ask them if they are willing to completely give up the offshore oil fields of Quekotos?"
"Contact Langhua Petroleum and I will take charge!" Sturgeon volunteered excitedly and even excitedly.
Quecotos, or Quecotos, as a coastal town on the coast of the Gulf of Guinea, is not well-known at all, but its offshore oil fields are very famous for its shallow waters, calm waters and the quality of light-sulfur crude oil.
It has high reserves and abundant reserves, and has long been favored by many oil exploration companies.
In the past two decades, oil explorers invested in and built three semi-submersible oil production platforms there, producing 30,000 barrels of crude oil per day in ten years.
Langhua Petroleum was also optimistic about the oil resources there, so it negotiated in the early 2000s and spent huge sums of money to acquire the Quekotos Oilfield from its predecessor.
After Langhua Petroleum was forced to withdraw its employees from Quekotos, it only sent ships there for regular maintenance every year. For a longer period of time, only a few armed mercenaries were on duty at the three semi-submersible oil production platforms where pirates frequently appeared.
In the waters of the Gulf of Guinea, there were no pirates who frantically surrounded them and robbed valuable platform equipment. This in itself is extremely strange.
However, Linton Oil, a subsidiary of the Evans Foundation, was only one of many competitors at the time. There was no strong direct evidence amid the various opinions, and it was difficult to point the finger directly at the Evans Foundation. After all, there were other competitors.
Maybe it's the mastermind behind this.
Because of the previous bloody robbery, Langhua Petroleum has been trying to sell the mining rights of the Quekotos offshore oil field in recent years, but has been unable to find a buyer.
Of course, Langhua Petroleum took over the Quekotos offshore oil field and platform facilities at a cost of US$2 billion. It is also a sensational merger and acquisition at present.
Although the price of crude oil at this time is not comparable to the peak of US$150 per barrel in early 2008, it is still more than double what it was when they took over the oil field. Therefore, even if Langhua Petroleum is willing to sell it, the price will never be possible.
Too cheap.
Even if Langhua Petroleum changes hands at the original price, the Quekotos Oil Field is not something that Fulkov Petrochemical Group can afford to absorb at this time.
However, Fulkov Petrochemical Group can cooperate with Langhua Petroleum in many aspects.
There were too many European and American employees killed and injured in the Quekotos drilling robbery. Langhua Petroleum did not want to bear the high employee salaries and insurance costs. Even senior managers dared to take over this mess of crude oil transportation and so on. It could be completely outsourced to the Gulf of Guinea.
shipping company.
The maintenance of the oil production platform and even daily oil extraction can be contracted by Langhua Petroleum if it is willing. Fulkov Petrochemical Group will not find it too hard to make such money.
What's more important is that the oil quality of Quekotos is very good. If it can become a stable oil source for the refinery of the Furkov Petrochemical Group, it will be extremely beneficial to the stable subsequent income of the Furkov Petrochemical Group.
Not to mention that Cao Mo's original intention was to unite with Langhua Petroleum Group to fight against the Evans Foundation.
In the past, when they took the initiative to contact Langhua Petroleum, whether they were arrogant or vigilant, Langhua Petroleum Company would ignore it 99% of the time, but the clues collected in the Lake Norquay attack are related to the Quekotos drilling robbery.
When I got up and contacted Langhua Petroleum with the same hatred and hatred, the situation was obviously completely different.
Of course Cao Mo was happy that Sturgeon was willing to take over this matter. After all, Sturgeon's status and contact with Langhua Petroleum made it relatively easier.
"Next, should we use this incident to exaggerate the threat of pirates in Kanem and push Kanem's military and police to strengthen their crackdown on pirate forces?" Brahm asked.
Cao Mo nodded and said, "This is what it should be. If the military and police of various countries can be very effective in driving the pirate forces out of the Gulf of Guinea so that they have no place to survive, not only can we focus on the development of the industry with peace of mind, but also
There is no need to invest so much money in security every year! Not only Kanem, but also public opinion in various countries has formed a trend of cracking down on pirate forces. If we secretly spread information that the Evans Foundation colludes with pirate forces, I believe that Sevi
The family may have some scruples!"
The Evans Foundation secretly manipulated the pirates to carry out attacks. If it succeeded, perhaps no one would beep. It would incite riots in this land. There are too many coups and it is too numbing. But if the attacks fail, they will suffer heavy losses. That is at the level of people's hearts.
The series of reactions triggered may be like a silent storm destroying something.
This is also the key to why Cao Mo did not hesitate to risk his own life to lure the snake out of its hole. Only in this way will the situation become clearer and more favorable to them.
"How should Theron Baddeli be dealt with?" Xie Sipeng thought of this key issue again and asked, "Should we pretend we don't know anything?"
Even if Theron Baddeley was not directly involved in the Coquitos drilling robbery, it is very likely that he was bribed by the Evans Foundation to help them cover up the traces of the crime. This time, he directly helped the pirate forces set foot on the terrain inside the manor.
If they have a chance, they can secretly deal with Theron Badri without any shame.
However, the matter involves the Baddeley family and their political investment in Benin, which makes it tricky and complicated.
It won't work to deal with it directly and roughly, but if you don't deal with it, Theron Badde is a time bomb. Who knows how much destructive power he will bring in the future? Pretending that nothing happened is obviously not the best.
Method.
"You guys should discuss how to deal with it more reasonably!" Cao Mo also felt a headache about this matter, but he couldn't decide everything.
Tubman Jr., Abacha, Brahm, and Sturgeon are all here. How to deal with Theron Baddeli's issue directly involves their future political investment in the Gulf of Guinea, but in fact, for the Tubman family,
