Chapter five hundred and thirtieth: Adding insult to injury II
Chapter 530: Adding insult to injury (2) Within an hour or so, Mr. Wall brought his friends to see Yao Yi.
Mr. Wall introduced Yao Yi: "This is the very good Mr. White I mentioned to you."
Yao Yi smiled and said: "Oh, it turns out to be Mr. Bad, I almost thought he was Mr. Bad."
The word games used by Yao Yi were incomprehensible to Westerners and they could only laugh. Only those who understand Chinese would know the meaning.
In the 1980s, there were very few Westerners who knew Chinese, especially Americans. They almost didn’t learn any other language except American English. They even looked down on British English.
Not to mention Chinese. Of course, Mr. White doesn't understand Chinese either.
Yao Yi thought to herself: "You will know soon whether you, Mr. White, are a particularly bad man."
Yao Yi let Mr. White into the living room and sat down separately for the guests and the host.
First of all, he said: "Mr. White, Mr. Wall said that all the fixed assets of Canada's Juneng Oil and Gas Company in Canadian territory have been owned by me. As for the overseas assets, I think it has nothing to do with me.
Naturally, your U.S. branch of Juneng Oil and Gas has nothing to do with me. Am I right, Mr. Wall?"
This time Yao Yi did not wait for the other party to speak, but went straight to the point and got to the point, which was to gain a favorable say. After all, he was now one person dealing with two people.
Mr. Wall said with a smile: "According to our agreement, I only know that all the fixed assets of Juneng Oil and Gas Company in Canadian territory have been owned by Duke Yao, and its corporate headquarters also belongs to Duke Yao. This is
We just confirmed it not long ago, right, Duke Yao?"
Yao Yi thought to herself: "You bastard, you really have a hand on your side. It looks like I'm going to have to fight hard again."
Yao Yi smiled and said: "You're right. The fixed assets of the company headquarters do belong to me. That's because they are on Canadian soil. This is normal. Fixed-value assets that are not on Canadian soil naturally do not belong to me.
I, I am right about that, Mr. Wall."
Mr. Wall said: "Yes, the consensus we just had is limited to our contract, but I'm afraid this Juneng Oil and Gas Company is special and not as simple as you think. The main reason is that it involves overseas matters.
This requires a serious discussion with the country concerned, Mr. White, don’t you think so?”
Mr. White smiled and said in a slow voice: "Mr. Wall is right. In the United States, as long as Duke Yao owns the headquarters of Juneng Oil and Gas Company, it means that he owns all the company's assets, including
Overseas assets, and also bear relevant overseas responsibilities.”
Yao Yi thought to herself: "I'm afraid that taking responsibility is the most important thing in your mind. As for what you said about owning overseas assets, I'm afraid it's just a duplicity. Besides, Juneng Oil and Gas Company's branch in the United States is insolvent.
Company, isn’t this an obvious attempt to kill me? But the good thing is, I just deliberately gave you a bait, and I’ll hook you in a while and see how I deal with you.”
Yao Yi smiled and said: "Oh, so that's it. Then I would like to hear what assets Juneng Oil and Gas Company's headquarters has overseas and what responsibilities it has to bear. It was Mr. Wall who told me,
That’s what Mr. White said.”
Mr. Wall said: "Mr. White talks about assets in the United States, and I talk about assets in other countries."
Mr. White said: “In our United States, Juneng Oil and Gas Company has exclusive oil exploration and production rights in our U.S. territorial waters and exclusive economic zone in the Gulf of Mexico. It also owns oil and gas fields in the Gulf of Alaska. As for the responsibilities it undertakes,
The responsibility is mainly for the environmental pollution caused by the oil spill, and I believe Duke Yao is very clear about it."
Yao Yi smiled and said: "To be honest, I really don't know, because your US policies have changed so fast that I am at a loss what to do, especially when you violate the corporate bankruptcy law, do not allow companies to go bankrupt, and seize the private property of shareholders.
, This makes me very puzzled, and I would like to ask Mr. White to give a reasonable explanation."
Mr. White said: "As for the previous matters, they have now been resolved. I want to believe that our U.S. government and some shareholders in Canada have completed negotiations, isn't it Mr. Wall?"
Mr. Wall said: "Yes, there is no longer any problem with that."
Yao Yi said: "They no longer have a problem, but now I have a problem. Is the U.S. government planning to still violate your corporate bankruptcy law and seize my personal property?"
Mr. White said with a smile: "Duke Yao is really good at joking. So, have we in the United States seized any property of Duke Yao now?"
Yao Yi said: "It's true that it doesn't exist now, but I can't guarantee that it won't happen in the future."
Mr. White said with a smile: "If we complete the negotiation on this matter and can properly resolve the problem and give the American people a complete explanation, I believe that the U.S. government will not seize any property of Duke Yao now and will not seize it in the future."
Yao Yi thought to herself: "What I want is your words. What I am most worried about is that you will seize my gold and a large amount of real estate in the United States. With your words, let's see how I will exploit you next."
Yao Yi smiled and said: "Properly resolved, I would like to ask, how does Mr. White feel that it is properly resolved? How can we give an explanation to the American people and satisfy them?"
Mr. White said with a smile: "I believe Duke Yao should understand very well."
Yao Yi said: "To be honest, I really don't understand. You should just tell me. Don't make me guess. I hate guessing the answer."
Mr. White said: "In this case, let me put it bluntly. There are two ways to solve this problem. Duke Yao needs to choose by himself."
Yao Yi said: "Okay, in that case, Mr. White said, I am all ears."
Mr. White said: "The first way is for Duke Yao to completely clean up the oil pollution in the Gulf of Mexico, restore the natural environment there, compensate for the related losses, and satisfy the people."
Yao Yi thought to himself: "Bullshit, what you say seems reasonable on the surface, but in fact, there are many traps in it. Just looking for a small problem is enough to make Yao Yi fall into a bottomless pit, and he will lose endless money, or even never.
There is no way to restore the natural environment there."
Yao Yi smiled but said nothing.
After seeing Yao Yi's expression, Mr. White asked: "Duke Yao, are there any problems here? Or are there any dissatisfactions? If so, please bring it up directly so that we can discuss it easily and try to resolve the matter.
Perfect solution.”
Yao Yi said: "Don't worry, let's talk about your second solution. I will talk about it after listening. And I have great expectations for your second solution."
