Go back in time and be a chaebol

Chapter 960 The Bold Oil Company (Second update, please subscribe)
Looking at the car going away, Hermann's expression became more and more solemn. Standing by the steps, he did not get in the car immediately, but stood there smoking a cigar.

At the same time, the previous conversation with Chen Dehua once again emerged in his mind.

"This...is a serious problem!"

Although Hermann had reached a consensus with Frank long ago, he still acted as if he couldn't understand.

Herman said.

"Although politics is important, I think the agreement is sacred and should be guaranteed! If someone tears up the agreement, the state should take strong measures to protect the interests of the company."

After thinking for a while, he said again.

"And didn't Minister Li say that the government will use all means to ensure the safety of our overseas investments? This involves the national security of Nanyang."

This is the fundamental reason why they reached an agreement with Aramco - Aramco also hopes that Southeast Asia will carry out military intervention when necessary.

The Nanyang Petroleum Company also needs military intervention.

“That’s us, and we are not equal to the West.”

Chen Dehua's voice of explanation rang in Herman's ears again.

"And even if we intervene in the future, we will need to consider many issues. After all, we have passed the era of direct military intervention. We are in the pre-war international political form. The current international political environment is different from the past. Now it is the United States and the Soviet Union that are in confrontation. All countries have to take sides. Even the United States cannot risk forcing them to the Soviet Union to safeguard the interests of oil companies. And we will definitely need to consider many external influences at that time. We can't isolate ourselves from the Western world for the sake of oil!"

Chen Dehua shrugged helplessly and said.

"After all, times have changed!"

"Times... Times have changed, but people have not changed. Business interests must always be protected."

Hermann took a deep puff on his cigar and muttered to himself.

"Commercial interests always need to be protected, and commercial rules always need to be defended. We can't just let other countries tear up the agreement recklessly. If that's the case, is it still necessary to abide by the contract?"

While Hermann was thinking this, two guests came out from the steps of the club. They were joking with each other on the steps of the club. The concierge called a taxi for them.

And Hermann just stood on the steps, smoking his cigar silently.

"Finally, I have one word for you,"

Chen Dehua's reminder before leaving once again emerged in Herman's mind.

"Although the actions of the Free Officers Organization have been quelled, the situation in Saudi Arabia is not as peaceful as it seems. I can't say too much, but you must be prepared for this. After all, the world today is different from yesterday."

Everyone is saying that the world is different now than it was yesterday. It seems that everyone thinks that commercial agreements do not need to be followed and that countries can tear them up at will.

Who cares about the sanctity of a business agreement?

No country will care!

It seems that for them, only politics is the most important thing. For politics, the interests of the company can be sacrificed and business rules can also be violated.

Is this the result of changing times?
Herman's brows furrowed even more tightly, and his expression became more and more solemn.

"It seems that the interests of the company are not important to anyone at all. This is how times have changed."

The corners of Herman's mouth turned up, his face full of sarcasm.

"Different from yesterday. Is this different from yesterday?"

Recalling the information he got from Chen Dehua during the previous meal, after a long time, Herman talked to himself as if he had made up his mind.

"Okay, we can't delay any longer. We must act immediately. No matter what, we must completely control the oil field in the hands of the company!"

Then, after he got into the car, he sat in the back seat and leaned against the backrest. A thought involuntarily popped up in Hermann's mind - why should he give back the oil that he discovered with his own ability to others!
What does it mean to repay?

It's clearly a robbery!
It is absolutely impossible for those guys on camels to rob the wealth belonging to the Nanyang people. If they try to rob, break their dog paws!
They think the world has changed, so we should use ironclad facts to tell them that the world has never changed and remains the same as before.

It's still the law of the jungle, and it's still naked.

"The world has never changed, it just changed into a different way." Just as Herman's thought became stronger and stronger, he had already arrived home. Just as he was about to take a shower and rest, he suddenly received a call.

The call came from the official residence, not from anyone else.

It was Li Yian himself. The voice on the other end of the phone was simple - "Hermann, come to the residence."

So Hermann immediately drove to the official residence and entered this study that was longed for by countless people.

Although Hermann was not a frequent visitor to this study, he could enter here whenever he wanted. After all, he was the general manager of Nanyang Petroleum Company, and the largest shareholder of Nanyang Petroleum Company was the person in front of him.

"sit!"

After Hermann entered the office, Li Yian said without raising his head.

"Your Mightiness."

"Yemen!"

Closing the report in front of him, Li Yian looked directly at Hermann and asked.

"The oil companies are so powerful now that they are planning to invade a country. Come on, tell us what you think!"

To be honest, when Li Yian saw the report, he was stunned.

My goodness, Nanyang Petroleum Company actually cooperated secretly with Aramco to train Yemeni troops through the "Black Knight Company" and even helped them improve their equipment. This kind of thing is simply unbelievable.

Perhaps outsiders don’t know what they are thinking, but Li Yian knows why they do this: for oil.

It was precisely because of this surprise that he called Hermann personally and asked him to come here, mainly to hear his explanation.

After all, Li Yian is also very interested in this kind of thing.

"Oil! Your Excellency!"

Take a deep breath, Herman said.

"We need those oil fields, and we need to make sure that the profits from the oil fields, at least the vast majority of the profits, belong to the company, rather than being snatched away by guys on camels with a piece of paper. That's exactly what we are going to do."

In response to your inquiry, Hermann did not hide anything. In fact, he knew that this matter could not be concealed. After all, a company like "Black Knight" must have an intelligence background, and the matter would be exposed sooner or later.

The only problem is... it was exposed too early. In this case, there is only one choice - to convince His Excellency.
"Sir, the current territorial conflict between Yemen and Saudi Arabia is our best opportunity. Through an American company, we can convince Yemen that their actions will be tacitly approved by Washington. Of course, this is planned by the US-Arab Oil Company. At the same time, our people will also help members of the "Free Officers Movement" to plan an internal uprising, thereby creating turmoil in Saudi Arabia. This plan has already begun to be implemented..."

Listening to Herman's explanation, Li Yian's brows were locked. He really didn't expect... that the oil company would be so bold!

For their own profits, they are actually going to destroy an entire country!
This...it seems that United Fruit Company is almost the same company!

What a daring bunch they are!

"Free Officers Movement?"

Li Yian asked rhetorically.

"Don't you know what kind of organization that is? They will never allow you to control the oil fields. If the king will leave you some leftovers, the Free Officers Organization will not even leave you a mouthful of soup. Egypt, Nasser of Egypt will prove this!"

Li Yian was reminding them that not everyone is a good partner. Even if they wanted to cooperate, they should choose people who were easy to control.

Collaborating with a group of so-called nationalists is simply shooting oneself in the foot.

In the end, the oil companies may face a situation where all their efforts are in vain.

"Of course we do,"

Hearing your reminder, Hermann explained.

"So, our goal is not to create a winner, but to..."
