The journey starts from the Titanic

Situ Nan smiled mysteriously. There is no need to explain too much. The geological exploration technical team led by Pratt is indeed the best in the world. There are more than 1 geophysical researchers serving oilfield exploration. Most of the Pratt School of Geology at the University of William All of the technical forces are in the service of Chevron Occidental Petroleum.

Of course, the most important thing is Situ Nan's vision. Situ Nan's will is hidden in the dense geological exploration reports. The colleagues have thoroughly studied the geological exploration team of Chevron, and they may not be able to discover the existence of Situ Nan.

"I can only tell you that something in Libya is nothing. There is a vast sea of ​​oil beneath the Persian Gulf in the Middle East, and that is the world energy center!"

Situ Nan said again.

"World Energy Center?" There was a hint of irritability in Andrew Mellon's eyes, his breathing became rapid, his face was calm, but there was waves in his heart, constantly evaluating the credibility of Situ Nan's words.

"This is impossible. All geologists say that there is no oil in the Middle East, and even the British think so. Except for Iran, the British have not sent anyone to drill wells in the Middle East."

Andrew Mellon calmed down and shook his head.

There is no oil in the Middle East. This is the general consensus of the industry. Situ Nan is really whimsical. Did the success of Libya make him inflated?

"geologist?"

Situ Nan looked disdainful, "There are two geologists I know, one I trust, and the other is the geologist who has reached a general consensus in your mouth."

Having said this, a smile flashed in his eyes, he slapped his mouth, and said, "Didn't the geologists laugh at us doing stupid things in Libya? It's all right now..."

"That's true! Those geologists are embarrassed!" Andrew Mellon nodded and smiled. He didn't believe Situ Nan's exaggerated statement that the Middle East was an energy center. Since Situ Nan made a conclusive statement, he might as well. Give it a try?

Although this guy is a bit of a stick, he doesn't seem to have lied to himself, he has superhuman foresight before every major decision, well, luck is always so good.

"Do you really value the Middle East so much?" Andrew Mellon asked again.

"Those who win the Middle East win the throne of energy!"

Situ Nan said indifferently.

The more expressionless on his face, the more shocking he said.

"You can bring this to Richard." Situ Nan said that he ignored Andrew Mellon and left, leaving his old man alone.

Andrew Mellon shook his head, and didn't take Situ Nan's words to heart, what energy throne and the like, just listen to it, not too serious.

Soon, Andrew Mellon called in Richard Mellon, the property manager of his nephew Mellon family, and told Richard Mellon what Situ Nan had said.

"What do you think?" Andrew Mellon asked.

"Give it a try! Now in China and South America, there won't be too many opportunities for Gulf Oil. There are too many competitors."

Richard Mellon thought for a while and said that Chevron Petroleum's success in Libya gave him a lot of excitement.

"But we are going to Libya first. Europeans are not fools. How can Chevron Oil monopolize Libyan oil? As a friendly company, how can we look at ourselves being bullied and be indifferent?"

Richard Mellon smiled triumphantly.

"Don't be reckless about this, discuss it with them first, so as not to hurt your peace. Chevron Petroleum is different now!"

Andrew Mellon reminded.

The idea of ​​sharing a piece of the pie is good, and you have to pay attention to it. The food is too ugly, and you can't say that people will turn your face.

Richard Mellon nodded and understood his uncle’s concerns. He was very confident. In any case, Situ Nan would not turn his face. Not to mention that Gulf Oil Company had his share of Situ Nan. Situ Nan and Laura’s children were not Mei. Is it the heir of the Long family?

How did the William Consortium's person in the financial field, Robes Mellon, also come from the Mellon family, how close is the relationship between the two parties?

Richard Mellon wanted to follow the idea of ​​picking up the bargain. Situ Nan had anticipated this. This has almost become a routine. If the William oil company succeeds there, Richard Mellon will cheekily squeeze in. This is true in South China Sumatra, this is true in Lake Malaya in Venezuela, and now the Sirte Oilfield in Libya is no exception.

Situ Nan is not disgusted, provided that he owns the big head and he takes the small head. Anyway, the Sirte Oilfield is so big that Chevron Oil Company cannot monopolize it.

Moreover, if you take risks overseas and face European competition, it will be better to stay in a group with your own people to keep warm.

Situ Nan said to Richard Mellon: "You can talk to Hengda Brown for details. My opinion is still those two. Gulf Oil must come up with real money and the shareholding ratio cannot exceed 20%."

"OK! Old rules, I understand!" Richard Mellon nodded with a smile.

Originally a very big matter, the conversation was over. Richard Mellon winked at Situ Nan and asked with a smile of excitement: "I heard you want the fleet to fight the Italians?"

"Do you think they will be good?" Situ Nan asked back.

"It seems that I asked a stupid question, not to drive the fleet to the Mediterranean Sea for a friendly visit. It is estimated that our oil fields and tankers in Libya are really not safe."

Richard Mellon said that he used the term us to show that Gulf Oil and Chevron have already stood together on the Libya issue. In this way, even if the fleet is dispatched, Rockefeller will not object. After all, they also have extensive interests overseas.

The two did not speak and were silent for a while. Richard Mellon said again: "Although I don't believe that there is a lot of oil in the Middle East, I also think I should go there to explore. What if luck comes?

Damn the British, they occupy those deserts. They obviously feel that there is no oil below, but they don't open oil or allow others to mine. It's time to give them a little pressure!"

Richard Mellon knew what to say to make Situ Nan happy. Sure enough, when he heard him say it, Situ Nan laughed, and reached out to shake hands with Richard Mellon: "Man, you didn't disappoint me."

"Even without you, I had a talk with Rockefeller. Last year we set up a joint exploration team to conduct oil exploration in the Middle East. It would be good for Britain to participate. If we don't participate, we will do it ourselves, and the British will also participate later.

Now the oil exploration team composed of Gulf Mobil and bp has launched operations in Iraq. In the Kiel area, the joint exploration team found that the area has good oil storage geological conditions.

What’s interesting is that we originally thought that the owners of those lands were Arabs. After checking, we found that they were not. Before we acted, a Duncan firm had bought a large amount of land in Iraq. This firm seemed to come from the civilized world. Trouble!"

Richard Mellon looked at Situ Nan with a smile, with great curiosity in his eyes.

"Oh? What's the trouble?" Situ Nan asked with a smile, "Yes, he drilled a hole in his land without the owner's permission. This behavior is a serious violation of private property!... Well, you said. , Did the master trouble you? Did you stop work?"

Richard Mellon is not the least embarrassed to talk about private property with the Arab natives?how could be?The British did not object, but instead acted together. The joint exploration team opened holes wherever they wanted, even if they wanted to open holes in the chief's bedroom, it was no big deal.

The question is, are the owners of those lands not native Arabs?

Is it a member of the civilized world?

It doesn't matter how many exploratory wells are drilled. Anyway, the land does not grow grass, and no one takes care of it. Except for sand, it is sand. Even if the owner is from the civilized world, the oil company can settle him. This is nothing at all.

U.S. and British oil companies seem to never have to discuss with the landlord when exploring overseas.

"We are not afraid that the landlord will make trouble. Let us stop work. We are afraid that if we succeed in discovering the oil field and can't kick that guy, we will make a wedding dress for him for nothing. This is the real trouble. How to do?"

Richard Mellon looked at Situ Nan with some sadness.

"Me!" Situ Nan touched his chin, pretended to think, thought of something, and smiled, "Can I say thank you to the landlord?"

"What else?" Richard Mellon asked.

"If he is kind, he will not be held accountable for destroying his land, and he will even pay for some construction costs." Situ Nan said.

Richard Mellon looked at Situ Nan's triumphant look, feeling more depressed, shook his head and left.

"What did you talk about, Richard was not in a good mood when he left." Laura sat next to Situ Nan, watched Richard Mellon's car leave, and then turned to look at Situ Nan.

"Remember Duncan Firm?" Situ Nan asked.
