Chapter 494: Fairbanks' Tricks
Although the banquet is still continuing, it is obvious that the people present, although chatting casually, are still in the back room, waiting for the results of the experts' review. If the value of the three patents proposed by BP is higher than that of Fudy Petroleum Holdings, then Fang Mingyuan, as the final decision-maker, is likely to choose to sell the oil from the Calafar oil field to BP.
Then, Fudy Petroleum Holding Company will face an even greater dilemma, Du Deliwei is so angry with the gang of old people on the board of directors that it is itchy at the root of his teeth, if it weren't for their nonsense and inability to make a decision, why would things have fallen to this point If he has enough authorization, when Fang Mingyuan put forward these conditions, he will agree to form a legally binding agreement, and Fairbanks will not be able to change the status quo even if he has eight more heads.
Now that Fudy Petroleum Holdings has been cornered by BP, Dudley does not think that the three patents taken out by Fairbanks will be worth less than his two.
And even if those three patents are comparable to his two patents, Fang Mingyuan chose British Petroleum, he has nothing to say. After all, 300,000 barrels of oil per day are exported, which is also a considerable amount, and an agreement with BP will save this oil. As a businessman, which one is not for the purpose of maximizing profits?
Time passed minute by minute, and when the cutlery in front of everyone had already been removed and the black tea had been drunk for half a day, there was finally news from the expert group - because it was difficult to unify the opinions of the people, it was difficult to make a clear judgment on the value of these five patents for a while, and it would take at least a day.
Fairbanks frowned and muttered a few words softly, but Dudley let out a sigh of relief, no matter what, it is always a good thing that there is no death penalty to be executed immediately.
Fairbanks was also a little unhappy in his heart, he didn't know what kind of patent Fudy Petroleum Holding Company had come up with, and it would make those experts come to such a conclusion. Or was the little tricks and feet he did in it noticed by the other party?
Although the transfer of these three patents was approved by the headquarters of British Petroleum, Fairbanks was a little dissatisfied. So when he was picking patents, he deliberately chose a patent that didn't have all of BP's supporting patents, and its utility would be greatly reduced. It's just that people who don't have deep research in this field won't be aware of this. As a result, the value of that patent is undoubtedly greatly reduced.
But now he can't say anything in front of Dudliwe and Prince Abdullah, so he can only pull Mihalo to say goodbye to Prince Abdullah.
After Dudliwei also turned to leave, Prince Abdullah dragged Fang Mingyuan back to the study in his villa.
"Fang, that Fairbanks is really very cunning three patents, and it sounds more sincere than Fudy Petroleum Holdings, but he is secretly making trouble," Prince Abdullah said indignantly. He naturally hoped that Fang Mingyuan would completely kick BP away and quickly get the Cossell Manor in his hands. But this is related to Fang Mingyuan's vital interests, so he can only beat the side drum like this.
After listening to his detailed explanation, Fang Mingyuan understood what kind of tricks and feet Fairbanks had done in it, and couldn't help but sigh that it was no treacherous business. This is one of the experts invited by Prince Abdullah, otherwise, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to know that there is such a trap in a few years, and I was fooled by Fairbanks.
"Prince Abdullah, I assure you that no matter who I end up selling the oil, the Kausel estate will fall into your hands. You don't have to worry so much all day long, okay" Fang Mingyuan said helplessly, "It's really not good, Prince Abdullah, you come forward and exchange oil for Kausel Manor, can he Fudy Petroleum Holding Company not sell it at this time?"
Prince Abdullah waved his hand and said: "Fang, it's not that I don't want to do this, but if I do this, I will completely offend BP, you are Chinese, and the British can't influence your country, but we are completely different here." If BP thinks I am deliberately working against them, the Emir will have to give me some symbolic punishment. It's symbolic, but it's also very bad for me. Therefore, I will never formally agree to supply any oil to Fudy Petroleum Holding unless I have to. But if you sell a part of the oil from the Calafar field to BP, how can Fudy Petroleum Holding give you the Causell estate?"
Fang Mingyuan laughed a few times and said, "The heavenly secret must not be leaked, and when the time comes, you will understand." However, it can't be cheaper like this, this Fairbanks or ......" Fang Mingyuan's eyes rolled, and he already had an idea in his heart.
Fairbanks and Mihalo returned to the BP office in Kuwait with some trepidation, and the phone on the desk rang before the butt was hot and the tea was served. Mihalo hurriedly picked it up.
"I'm Abdullah, let Mr. Fairbanks listen to the phone" Prince Abdullah's cold voice came from the phone. Although it was June, Mihalo could still feel the chill in Prince Abdullah's tone, and it was obvious that this one was not in a good mood right now.
Mihalo hurriedly pulled the phone in front of Fairbanks, and said softly: "Prince Abdullah's call" Fairbanks quickly answered it.
"Mr. Fairbanks, I don't understand, do you want to get this oil, if so, what's the point of engaging in these small means?" Prince Abdullah on the phone said politely, "Mr. Fairbanks, it is precisely because of the fact that your company has been very happy with our country in the past, and I believe that you can give you a better price, so I persuaded the party to allow you to participate." But is that how you repay my kindness?"
Fairbanks was "groaning" in his heart at that time, and immediately understood that his hands and feet had already been known to Prince Abdullah. Before he could figure out how to answer, the phone hung up.
"Damn heretic," Fairbanks said through gritted teeth, "the proud and complacent guy of the yellow monkey, a country the size of a palm, would dare to be so arrogant" "What's wrong?
Fairbanks threw the phone on the phone and said hatefully: "They saw through the patent thing, Abdullah, that bastard prince, how dare you threaten me"
After listening to Fairbanks' retelling, Mihalo said helplessly: "Then what should we do next?" He now felt that it was a mistake for the headquarters to send Fairbanks to Kuwait. He has a racist mentality, and when dealing with Orientals, he always has an arrogance, which is nothing in front of ordinary people, but when facing upper-class people like Prince Abdullah, it is easy to attract the disgust of the other party. And if you have disgust, you will naturally look at each other unpleasantly, and when both parties look at each other pleasing to the eye, it is strange if nothing happens.
However, at this time, Mihalo has no time to complain about the headquarters, and the key now is how to quell Prince Abdullah's dissatisfaction as soon as possible.
Although Kuwait is indeed as Fairbanks said, compared with the United Kingdom, it is only a palm-sized country, whether it is national strength or economic power, can not be compared with the United Kingdom, but there are rich oil reserves under the country, and other Arab countries with Kuwait occupy this Middle East oil depot. If BP wants to develop steadily, it can't do without the Middle East, and if Prince Abdullah is really annoyed, although Fairbanks may not be subject to multiple punishments, it is certain that he will be transferred out of the Middle East. As Fairbanks' deputy, if you don't do it, you will become a substitute.
Fairbanks let out a long sigh, he was just talking here, if he really faced Prince Abdullah and Fang Mingyuan, he also knew that his words would definitely cause a lot of trouble. "What else can I do? Let's find a way to save it."
At this time, the phone rang again, and this time, it was the British Petroleum company who was in charge of monitoring Dudleywe, who went to Prince Abdullah's villa shortly after returning to the office of Fudy Petroleum Holdings
Du Deliwei was also very strange, with a little frustration, he had just returned to his office, and when he was worried about how to face the result, Fang Mingyuan suddenly called and asked him to come to Prince Abdullah's villa immediately. Although Dudliwei did not understand Weishenme, he still answered the call.
The only person who received him was Fang Mingyuan, and the servants in the villa all retreated after delivering drinks and snacks, and only Chen Zhong sat in the corner of the room. This makes Dudley a little strange.
"Fang, you called me, but what's the matter?" Dudleyway asked.
"Mr. Dudliwei, do you think your Fudy Petroleum Holding Company still has a chance to win now?" Fang Mingyuan sighed and said, "It's not that I didn't give your company a chance, and I don't think the conditions I offered were too much. Although your company wants to transfer two patents to me, first, you can solve the oil shortfall, and second, I will also pay the transfer fee, rather than keep them and eventually belong to BP, wouldn't it be better to transfer them to me?"
Dudley was speechless.
