"Your Majesty the King, Mobil Oil is very happy to sell deep drilling technology to your country. And to express our long-term friendship, this technology can be licensed to the Romanian Petroleum Company and the Italian-Romanian Petroleum Company for use."
Little Rockefeller's words made Edel frown slightly. Being courteous for nothing is either cheating or stealing. There is no free lunch in the world.
"So what does it cost us?"
"All we need is for Mobil to join Petroleum and Petroleum. You must know that Mobil has the most outstanding oil exploration technology and personnel and can help Petroleum to better explore for oil reserves. This is a win-win-win result."
Edel didn't expect that Eiro Petroleum would attract voyeurs so quickly.
In fact, Edel wronged Rockefeller Jr. The conscience of heaven and earth is so big. The oil circle is so big. Romania and Italy established the newly established Iro Petroleum Company, which is not a small move. Because this company holds the oil exploration rights in the Italian colonies, which is very important to Romania and Italy.
Young Rockefeller had an instinct for seduction.
Because Mobil Oil does not have oil fields close to Europe, all the oil it sold in Europe was extracted from the United States. Now Britain, France and other countries have discovered oil in their colonies, which has also led to a sharp decline in Mobil's sales in Europe.
, now that he can obtain an oil field nearby in Europe, it has almost become his heartache.
If they cannot obtain oil fields, then participating in shares is one of their options. Among the European oil fields, only Romania and the Soviet Union can meet their needs. Romanian oil has lower quality and higher sulfur content. It was a coincidence that it had previously acquired a small amount of shares, which helped Mobil.
Not much. According to the temperament of the king in front of me, Mobil would not even think about expanding its shares. And from the perspective of its contact with the Soviet Union, the possibility of being exploited is greater, and the risk is too high and it is not cost-effective, even though the output of its oil fields is amazing.
As for various parts of Asia and Africa, the areas with oil currently are basically under the control of countries such as Britain, France, and Belgium. Don’t even think about the oil companies of Britain and France. The oil companies of these two countries will never let Mobil take shares. As for Belgium and the Netherlands, deep
It was also impossible due to the influence of Britain and France. This forced Mobil to re-explore.
How can re-exploration be so easy? First, you need to obtain local exploration rights. Just look at the map and you will see that Africa has been carved up by Britain, France, Italy and Belgium, while Asia is not a colony and is basically deeply influenced by Britain and France. Mobil Transfer
After looking around, I really couldn't find any area that could be explored.
Why is the United States currently pursuing isolationism? After retreating to the American continent, Mobil can only rely on its own strength to find food outside. This is not the opponent of those in Europe who rely on government influence. So Mobil is really not outside the American continent at present.
There are new oil fields.
The establishment of the Italian-Romanian Petroleum Company coincided with the Romanians coming to purchase deep drilling technology, so Rockefeller Jr. considered it an opportunity.
As for why Edel purchased deep oil exploration technology, this is because he was influenced by the memory of later generations. At that time, the location of the Daqing Oil Field had been explored by the Japanese, but their drilling technology was not good and no oil in the deep layers could be found. This case informed Egypt
Edel, just knowing it is useless, the most important thing is to be able to mine. And in order to prevent the tragedy of the Japanese from happening again, that's why Edel negotiated with Rockefeller Jr. to purchase his deep drilling technology.
Who gave Mobil the best drilling technology in the world? Edel could only come to buy it. But he didn't expect that little Rockefeller would seize this opportunity and want a share of the pie.
Some unexpected circumstances forced Edel to take cover first.
"I can't agree to you about buying a stake in Italian Petroleum Company, because its main shares belong to Italy. Before we established this oil company, we didn't expect anyone else to buy shares. In fact, you can go to the Italian government. I believe they are willing.
Join a company with strong technology and financial resources."
Faced with Edel's insincere words, Rockefeller Jr. smiled helplessly. He had already approached Italy, even before Edel, and Mobil, which had no interest in it, was directly rejected on the spot.
"Your Majesty the King, I think based on our deep friendship, it is best to ask your country to do this for you. In return, we can sell US$500 million of your country's national debt in the United States."
Little Rockefeller's words made Edel unable to say anything he wanted to refuse.
No way, the most important task of this visit to the United States is to sell treasury bonds. At present, there are too few people willing to underwrite Romanian treasury bonds. Moreover, the amount of treasury bonds this time is huge. Edel plans to issue 1.8 billion US dollars of treasury bonds in the United States without the help of an American consortium.
It's simply impossible. For Americans with poor geographical knowledge, they don't know where Romania is. If you take out a map, someone might point to Antarctica and say that this is Romania.
Moreover, he received news that capitalists led by Morgan obviously have their own ideas about Romania's large-scale national debt.
It is not difficult to guess what the king of Wall Street wants to do in Romania's financial industry. This is a bit unacceptable to Edel. He knows full well how greedy these Wall Street capitalists are. And if Romania's financial industry is
Being influenced by it would be quite detrimental to the development of Romania.
As for the person in front of me, it is obvious that he wants to take advantage of the special relationship between Romania and Italy to earn benefits for Mobil.
Who has the best relationship between Italy and Romania at present? The same Latin culture, coupled with their ambitions to compete for the Balkans, have brought the two countries closer and closer. Logically speaking, Italy and Romania should be competitors for the same region. How could this happen?
What about becoming a collaborator?
Another country, France, needs to be mentioned here. It is well known that the relationship between France and Italy is getting worse due to the Mediterranean. Yugoslavia has close relations with France, not to mention that Italy has territorial disputes with the two countries. At present, the relationship between Europe and France is average.
Moreover, Romania is the only country with close and powerful relations with Italy. Both countries happen to have demands for the Balkans. Isn’t this a natural ally?
This is why Italy showed extraordinary enthusiasm during Eder's visit. However, Romania does not have much demand for Italy, so the relationship between the two countries has not yet developed into a substantial alliance.
This is also the reason why Rockefeller Jr. approached Edel. If Mobil couldn't do it, Romania would definitely do it.
"Let me think about this."
Edel considered the stakes and said to Rockefeller Jr.
"No problem, Your Majesty is welcome to visit at any time."
After the conversation, Edel declined Rockefeller's offer to stay and left directly.
After Edel left, the elder Rockefeller appeared in front of the younger Rockefeller.
"It seems that this matter has great hope of success."
"Yes, father. I would also like to thank the man on Wall Street for this. Without his help, the Romanians would not have given us a chance."
"Then how are you going to thank him?"
"Perhaps we can underwrite more national debt this time. Compared to selling supplies and oil, Morgan made too much profit from selling British and French debt during World War I."
It seems that Rockefeller Jr. has expanded the family's influence in the financial industry. And Romania's economy seems to be doing well at the moment, which may allow the American people to learn more about it.
Of course, even if Romania's economy is not good, Rockefeller Jr. can still find a way to sell its national bonds. The word packaging needs to be used at all times in the financial industry.
