Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1707 This is also not good that is not good
If necessary, Southern Africa can also spin off Adan Company, with more people and more strength, and the noise of quarrels can also be louder.

What worried little John and Little William was not Adan Company, but Najd Petroleum Company. This company knew from its name that it was established for the oil fields of Najd Sultanate. Little John and Little William didn't know about Najd Sultanate. Najd Petroleum Company has been granted the right to develop oil and gas resources in the territory of Najd Sultanate.

This mining right also has exclusive rights, which means that the oil and natural gas resources in the Najd Sultanate 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 Naizhi, as long as Adan Company is authorized by Naizhi Petroleum Company.

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

Of course, the contract can also be renewed during the period.

"Gentlemen, Nejd Petroleum Company has obtained all oil and gas exploration rights in the territory of Najd Sultanate, so let's talk about other issues." The general manager of Nejd Petroleum Company is also the newly appointed Simon Ha Bird.

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

This is also helpless, where is the relationship between the Najd Sultanate and southern Africa? Little John and Little William did not expect to obtain exclusive mining rights, as long as they could get a share of the pie, they would be satisfied.

Although dissatisfied, Little John and Little William have nothing to do. The Najd Sultanate is an independent country recognized by the League of Nations. If it is replaced by other countries, Little John and Little William may be able to lobby the United Kingdom and the United States to issue war threats, but the Nejd Sultanate no.

The Najd Sultanate has joined the Southern African Union. If any country dares to threaten the Najd Sultanate with war, it will provoke the Second World War every minute.

No one can bear this result.

"Mr. Hubbard, if we want to get a development license, what kind of conditions do we need?" Thompson also fancied that southern Africans would care about some incense.

"Sorry Mr. Thompson, Nejd Petroleum Company will not authorize any other company to develop oil and gas resources in the territory of Najd Sultanate in the short term." Simon Hubbard directly refused. It's like asking for money.

"Lord Beihai, is this the kindness of your southern Africa?" Little John has never been so angry since he grew up.

"Mr. Rockefeller, let's be realistic. Adan Company is not a company that can be bullied. If you are willing to cooperate, then we can talk about the quota issue. If you are not willing, then our meeting can end— —” Alvin sneered, when Rockefeller expanded aggressively, he never showed kindness to his fellow Rockefellers.

This means that Adan Company has the right time and place, so Standard Oil and Royal Shell have to bow their heads and try other people. The famous seven oil sisters are not easy to mess with.

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

Quotas, this is a new concept proposed by Alvin.

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

Adan Company hopes to introduce a quota mechanism 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.

"Hehe—" Little John was noncommittal.

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

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

If Alvin made this suggestion before today, it would indeed be worth discussing.

Now southern Africa has created several oil companies, obviously in order to seek more quotas, so this issue has lost its value for discussion.

"If the quota system is established, it will be our Adan Company that will be most affected. Don't take our goodwill as malice." Alvin is blunt. This proposal is actually a voluntary profit sharing. If Little John can't accept it, then Alvin can't help it either. , then everyone will compete with each other based on their abilities.

"Of course you, Adan Company, are willing to unify the quota, so that you can benefit the most." Little William resented greatly, and Persian Oil was on the verge of collapse.

"It's not impossible to unify the quota, but I think we should unify the price, so as to solve the problem fundamentally." Thomas Mellon, general manager of Gulf Oil, also has ideas. Thomas Mellon is the current U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Andrew May. Long's nephew.

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

Compared with the quota, Gulf Oil hopes to unify the price. After all, the oil price of Adan Company is the lowest in the market now, but the profit margin of Adan Company is indeed the highest, which makes it unacceptable for other oil companies.

If the price is unified, at least part of the competitiveness of Adan can be weakened, which is more important than the quota.

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

"Okay, I think the price of five shillings a barrel is not bad—" Cheng Yuan sneered, Thomas Jr. also had a good plan, but it was also meaningless.

"Impossible, five shillings a barrel is lower than our cost, so let us drink northwest wind?" Richard Bloom, general manager of Anglo-American Petroleum Company, did not accept this plan.

Anglo-American Petroleum Corporation has gone bankrupt once. Last year, a large oil field was discovered east of Lake Maracaibo in Venezuela. Anglo-American Petroleum Corporation was reorganized, and this time it finally obtained the right to exploit oil fields in Venezuela.

Obtaining the right to exploit oilfields is only the first step. Next, there are a series of tasks to be done, such as drilling oil wells, laying pipelines, building refineries, and laying out sales networks. Therefore, Anglo American Petroleum has not yet made a profit. Attending this meeting is completely just to make up the number of.

"Then what should we do? This doesn't work, and that doesn't work. Let's just break up." After all, Alvin is still young, and compared with these old foxes, he lacks patience.

Little John was patient and capable. When the meeting was adjourned the next day, Little John went directly to Eagle Fort and donated 100 million US dollars to the Phyllis Charitable Foundation. At the same time, he donated several precious cultural relics to Nyasaland State Museum .

All are cultural relics from the Far East.

This is very Rockefeller. Rockefeller was also a famous social philanthropist while expanding his business wildly.

According to statistics, Rockefeller donated about 5 million U.S. dollars to charity in his lifetime, of which the donation to the Rockefeller Foundation alone was as high as 5 million U.S. dollars.

It was the foundation that funded William King.

So this can explain the nature of American charity. Donations are tax deductible, and donations are made to anyone.

"Ma'am, if the Marquis of Nyasaland is willing, I would like to talk to the Marquis of Nyasaland about quotas and prices." Little John wanted to kick off the rhythm of other oil companies.

This is not impossible. Although Rockefeller has been split, he still controls 70.00% of the oil production in the United States and 80.00% of the oil pipelines. The oil production in the United States accounts for about 40.00% of the world's oil production.

The Elizabeth Oilfield plus the East India Oilfield also account for 40.00% of the world's oil production.

"I'm sorry Mr. Rockefeller, Locke is too busy with work, and you can trust Alvin in terms of oil." Phyllis directly refused Little John's request.

Rock doesn't have time to deal with these shitty things. Business competition is not about doing charity. There are three or five of the world's largest oil companies that should go bankrupt, and those that should go bankrupt.

"The character of Lord Beihai is too strong. Would it be too rash for a 20-year-old kid to represent a company with an annual output value of hundreds of millions to participate in a meeting that may determine the future of a certain industry in the world?" Little John, born in 1874 , 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 not happy immediately, and Alvin His personality is indeed a bit strong, but it can't be blamed on Alvin. Being born in a family like Rock's, it's normal to have a strong personality, but it's not normal for someone like Gavin.

It can't be said that it's abnormal. Gavin is just not interested in business. Everyone has their own aspirations. Researching biological embryos is also a very meaningful job.

Little John was very helpless. The British were simply too annoying. Didn’t they say that they were short-handed?

What Little John doesn't know is that although there are many million-dollar donations, they are not too shocking for the charitable foundation under the name of Phyllis. After all, people like Rock, Stoudemire, Henry, and even Christian , each donation is more than one million.

Oh, Rock, Stoudemire, and Henry donated rand, which is worth more than dollars in terms of value.

Phyllis's attitude is very clear, Alvin's personality is just like that, talk about it if you can, and don't feel wronged if you can't talk about it, Adan Company has no shortage of collaborators.
