Chapter 0614 - Big Strokes
Day 2, Avenues, Texas.
At 9:10 a.m., reporters who had been waiting in front of the Mobil headquarters for a long time entered the venue in an orderly manner, and everyone's hearts were full of curiosity and urgency.
Although there was no inside information leaked before, they had a hunch that today's news must be explosive.
The major newspapers are waiting for their ace teams to bring back news, preferably the kind of explosion that will make the world tremble.
The press conference was well set up, with four long tables spread with red cloth on top of them, and the reporters sat on separate seats instead of benches.
Each reporter also got a burger and a Pepsi, which made all the reporters feel more good about Mobil before the press conference began.
"Are all the reporters in the room?" said Arrant Hamboni, who was still the CEO after the merger, at the back of the press conference.
"Yes, boss, it's all ready. The secretary in uniform nodded and said, dressed very hot, but he looked a little sorry for the audience.
Arrant is also very helpless about this, this secretary is his most caring person, but his wife chose it for him, what can he do.
"Is President Rush ready?" Letting go of the distress in his heart, Arrant took one last look at his appearance.
"No problem. The staff at the door nodded in agreement.
"Gone, Mobil's debut after the merger. Smiling at his friend next to him, Gotton Bastan, the executive director in charge of East Asia, Aran deliberately walked out of the room in a daze.
Just as he came out, Rush also walked out of the next room with Jonny and Mahathir Mohamad, smiled at each other after meeting, and walked side by side towards the stage.
When it was seen that it was Rush and Arrant who came out, the audience burst into loud applause.
The top representative of the CEO of the think tank, the executive president of Mobil Standard Oil, and the head of the East Asia region.
The press conference that they were able to attend must have been sensational news, and the reporters were sitting in a precarious position, all with their ears pricked up.
"First of all, thank you all for coming, we prepared simple food and drinks for everyone... Oh, you've already eaten, great, remember to pay the bill when you go......" Arrant gestured to the secretary as if to say, 'Don't forget to collect the money.' ’
"Haha......" The audience burst into laughter.
"Ahem, it's actually free, and I hope you all have a great time in Avenues... Below, Mobil has several important announcements. ”
Arrant turned his gaze to Rush beside him, signaling that he could start broadcasting satellites, and the reporters below raised their cameras to shoot endlessly.
"As determined by the Mobil Board of Directors, Mobil will restart the Oman oil exploration program, and the equipment and personnel are already at sea, and international oil prices will continue to remain stable as we have sufficient crude oil for people to use. Rush said without a smile.
"Due to the demand for crude oil in Northern Europe, Eastern Europe and Western Europe, Mobil has reached an agreement with Shell, the largest oil company in Europe, to provide it with a large reserve of crude oil to cope with the increasingly complex international situation. ”
Immediately after Rush's speech, Arrant followed up with a second announcement, and when he was heard talking about the 'complicated international situation,' there was a commotion in the audience.
"Due to a series of problems such as the overall adjustment of the business and the change of personnel in East Asia, the supply of crude oil in the next few months will be greatly reduced, and I hope all parties can understand!"
The last news was announced by Goton Bastan, and if it had been a mosquito-like whisper before, it had turned into a clamor after he had finished speaking.
Reporters scrambled to their feet, asking whether the move was targeted, whether it was instructed by Washington, why it was suddenly restructured in East Asia, and when was the deal with Dutch Shell reached......
There are so many questions that journalists want to know, but most of them say they are 'trade secrets,' and they are only explaining them in a targeted way.
"The above decisions are normal business practices and do not have any purpose, please do not look at ...... with a dark nature"
Dark, who still has you dark, your whole family is dark, the reporter scolded in his heart.
But now I don't have time to worry about these, so I'd better send the news back first, and let the factory print a more version is the main topic, and this year's year-end bonus is stable again.
......
......
Imperial Hotel, New York.
Roosevelt's butler and wife were taking care of his shirt and tie in preparation for the evening dinner.
Suddenly, someone barged in, holding a newspaper in his hand, and before he could speak, he said eagerly: "Mr. President, please take a look at this." ”
Looking at the newspaper placed in front of him by his assistant, Roosevelt's pupils gradually tightened, this incident came so suddenly that people were completely unprepared.
Business and personnel adjustment in East Asia, deceive the ghosts!
In a small land like Japan, 80 percent of the oil used in the United States depends on exports, and now Mobil has announced that it will adjust its supply cut.
If the other oil companies don't take action, it's better to say, but if they follow suit, all Japanese ships and automobiles will soon be lying on their backs.
Relying on Sakhalin Island, which was obtained in the Russo-Japanese War, the Sakhalin oil fields were simply not enough to support the country's consumption, accounting for no more than 7% of the country's total.
British Burma and Indonesia together account for 10 percent of the total, and no more than 20 percent will be purchased from large and small oil fields.
Now that Mobil has announced that it will cooperate with Shell, there must be some kind of agreement between the two sides, and it is impossible for Japan to get crude oil from Shell.
It seems that these things have nothing to do with Washington, but haven't you seen the comments in the newspapers?
"Corporate Adjustment or Energy Sanctions?" is such a conspicuous sign as saying that this matter was instructed by Washington.
And, but from this point of view, Mobil does not have any benefit, knowing that the Japanese order is one of their important sources of benefits.
Just say stop and stop, aren't you afraid that the original market will be seized?
"Contact Charlie, it looks like we're going to meet in advance. With two hours to go, Roosevelt decided to leave early.
News from China has always been the focus of the federal government's attention, after all, there is a war going on there, and the situation is more serious than anywhere else.
Roosevelt also received information about the previous impact on Hualian, but is it too childish to say that this is done to avenge the employees?
What Li Zitao wanted to do, Roosevelt couldn't figure it out for a while, but there was definitely his shadow behind this matter.
The pertinence of the matter before and after is too obvious, and there is not only Li Zitao in this, but also other consortia, such as the news that is circulating on Wall Street recently.
