The Texas oil field, a stalk that has almost been written in a time-traveling novel. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

As a qualified traverser, John certainly won't forget about this big gold mine and started early. At that time, the low price in Texas was so cheap, and John never forgot to invest in his company there over the years, and after decades of accumulation, he has long become the largest landowner in Texas and is known as the king of Texas......

But the Texas oil field, John never ordered the exploitation.

Ten years ago, the old Rockefeller was in full swing, John didn't want to go to war with the other side, and then after the start of World War I, John was even less mindful. After all, it is not difficult to enter the oil market, but it is difficult to rule half the world like Rockefeller! In addition, other industries seem to be more profitable, so John ordered Huntelaar Oil to slowly accumulate technology and talents, and wait for the next opportunity.

Now, the time has come.

Although in the midst of the post-war economic crisis, John knew that the United States and Britain would last two years at most, and that the golden age before the Great Depression would begin next year - the explosion of automobiles, airplanes, and internal combustion engine ships would greatly boost the oil industry!

For John, it was time for the Texas oil field to be born.

It's just that such a huge oil field is impossible to rely on Huntelaar oil development alone, and John needs another behemoth to get involved, that is, the powerful Rockefeller consortium! He needs the participation of these old giants of the oil industry to complete the development of the Texas oil field as soon as possible, and then get as much profit as possible before the Great Depression! As for being a bargaining chip with Rockefeller, that is not the main purpose......

There is no doubt that Rockefeller Jr. agreed.

No one could resist the temptation of the Texas oil fields, especially when the western oil fields gave rise to more oil companies, and Rockefeller could not let go of this super oil field - John had already ordered the location and approximate reserves of the oil fields to be discovered, and Rockefeller Jr. did not think that a figure like Mr. Huntelaar would tell a lie.

So the final result is naturally a hit-and-shoot.

When he heard about the huge reserves of the Texas oil fields, Rockefeller Jr. almost drooled, and he wanted to go back to the United States to see it for himself -- of course, it was impossible. However, after the two giants negotiated the general direction, they immediately sent a telegram to North America, and the people of Huntelaar Petroleum and Rockefeller began negotiations. Of course, in addition to the cooperation in North America, Rockefeller Jr. did not hesitate to agree to John's suggestion, and the two sides cooperated with the Chinese government to develop several large oil fields on the mainland, and build refineries and other infrastructure in China. For Rockefeller, although this piece of meat is small but also profitable, there is naturally no reason not to agree......

The great Morgan consortium and the equally great Rockefeller consortium became John's allies in this way.

In 1921, Rockefeller and Morgan still represented the top power in the United States, and the alliance of the three giants, even if it was only a formal alliance, meant that the Huntelaar consortium would no longer have to worry about all aspects of the next few years......

……

On May 18, 1921, John and his party left Shanghai.

In the next half month, their footprints traveled from Nanjing to Hangzhou, from Changsha to Wuhan, all over the sphere of influence of the Huntelaar consortium. And the vibrant scene of these places now makes little Morgan and little Rockefeller seem to see the United States when their parents started their business!

This month has strengthened their determination to enter China.

Everything they saw, verified John? Huntelaar's statement also made the two understand that China is indeed a place full of opportunities. So just after the end of his trip in Wuhan, Morgan Jr. hurriedly left China, and he had to go back immediately to preside over the negotiations with the Huntelaar consortium. John could be a shopkeeper, but little Morgan couldn't. In addition, he was required to plan and implement the agreement he had with John to invest in and build various types of factories in China.

As for the little Rockefeller, it stayed.

Rockefeller Sr. had a long lifespan, so there would be no problems in North America, and Rockefeller Jr. had decided to stay with John in China until at least September -- the opening ceremony of Union Medical College was in September, and as the largest overseas investment project of the Rockefeller consortium, he had to attend.

Thereupon......

On June 3, 1921, John? Huntelaar and Rockefeller Jr. set off for Beijing.

At the Jingshi Railway Station, President Duan Qirui personally led a team to greet him. Huntelaar had a historic meeting. The president, who was born in the military, understands the strength of this tall American very well, and knows even more that if he wants to do better than Yuan Datou and leave his name in history, he cannot do without the continued support of this tall American. So in the next week or so, Duan Qirui and several important members of his subordinates put off all affairs and concentrated on John? Huntelaar engaged in all sorts of negotiations.

Yes, negotiations!

The Huntelaar consortium, which is strong enough to represent a country, certainly has the qualifications of the Chinese government to negotiate. Therefore, with the fur in his memory of his previous life, coupled with some experience accumulated in his life, John directly put forward his own suggestions to Duan Qirui, such as fully opening up light industry, education, chemical industry and other areas in urgent need of development, limited opening of banking, insurance, railways, steel, mining and other industries, and resolutely protecting agriculture......

For Duan Qirui and others, this is an unprecedented negotiation.

No country or consortium has ever been as equal as Huntelaar has ever been on their side, so there are no political or military conditions for cooperation. Even after working together for many years, they still couldn't adapt - so even though there were many things they couldn't understand, they finally understood John's intentions after being explained by many of the students who studied in the United States!

After half a month, the two sides finally reached an agreement.

Of course, half a month is certainly not enough, but reaching a general agreement is enough for the leaders of them. At least for these Chinese leaders, who have had a lot of life experience, the final agreement is perfect, at least they never thought it would be so beneficial to China!

On June 20, 1921, the two sides initialed the agreement.

Just like the history of reform and opening up in the future, China in 1921 began their difficult road to rise from this day......
