Chapter 499: Trip to the United States (4)

"Your Majesty, Mobil Oil is more than happy to sell deep drilling technology to your country. And as a sign of our long-standing friendship, this technology can be licensed to Romanian Petroleum and Iro Petroleum. ”

Little Rockefeller's words made Edel frown slightly. Nothing to offer courtesy, either treachery or theft, how can there be a free lunch in the world.

"So what do we need to do?"

"It just needs to be for Mobil to join Ilo Oil. It is a win-win-win situation to know that Mobil has the most outstanding oil exploration technology and personnel, and can help Ilo Petroleum Company to better explore oil reserves. ”

Edel didn't expect Iro Oil to attract voyeurs so quickly.

In fact, Eder wronged Rockefeller Jr. The conscience of heaven and earth, the oil circle is so big. The establishment of the new Iro oil company in Romania and Italy is no small move. Because the company held the oil exploration rights in the Italian colonies, it was an instinctive temptation for Rockefeller Jr.

Because Mobil Oil does not have oil fields close to Europe, the oil it has sold in Europe has been extracted from the United States. And now Britain and France and other countries have discovered oil in their colonies, which has also led to a serious decline in Mobil's sales in Europe, and now it is almost his heart to get a nearby oil field in Europe.

If you can't get an oil field, then equity participation is also one of its options. The only oil fields in Europe can meet their needs only in Romania and the Soviet Union. Romanian oil is of low quality and high sulphur content, and it was a coincidence that it acquired a small stake in the past, which did not help Mobil much. According to the temperament of the king in front of him, Mobil did not even think about expanding his shares. In the case of contacts with the Soviet Union, it was more likely to be exploited, and it was too risky to be cost-effective, despite the staggering production of its oil fields.

As far as Asia and Africa are concerned, the regions that currently have oil are basically under the control of Britain, France, Belgium and other countries. The oil companies of Britain and France should not think about it, and the oil companies of these two countries will definitely not let Mobil participate in the shares. As for Belgium and the Netherlands, which were heavily influenced by Britain and France, it is also impossible. This forced Mobil to re-explore.

Re-exploring where it is so easy first requires obtaining local exploration rights. As long as you open the map, you can see that Africa has been carved up by Britain, France, Italy and Belgium, while Asia is not its colony, and it is basically deeply influenced by Britain and France. After Mobil went around in circles, it really couldn't find an area to explore.

Who makes the current United States currently isolationist. After retracting into the American continent, Mobil had to rely on his own strength to find food outside. Where are the rivals in Europe who rely on government influence, and all of Mobil really doesn't have new oil fields outside the American continent at the moment.

The establishment of the Ilo Oil Company happened to meet Romanians to buy deep drilling technology, so it was considered an opportunity by Rockefeller Jr.

As for why Eder bought deep oil exploration technology, it is that he was influenced by the memories of later generations. At that time, the location of the Daqing oilfield had been explored by the Japanese, but its drilling technology was not good, and the oil in the deep layers could not be found. This case taught Eder that it was useless to just know, and the most important thing was to be able to mine. And in order to prevent the recurrence of the tragedy of the Japanese, Eder negotiated with Rockefeller Jr. to buy his deep drilling technology.

Whoever gives Mobil the best drilling technology in the world at the moment, Eder can only buy it at home. It's just that I didn't expect that Rockefeller Jr. seized this opportunity and wanted to get a piece of the pie.

There were some unexpected circumstances that left Edel with the first cover.

"I cannot promise you about the acquisition of a stake in Ilo Oil, because the main stake in it belongs to Italy. Before we started this oil company, we didn't expect anyone else to take a stake. In fact, you can go to the Italian government and believe that they are willing to add a company with deep technology and money. ”

Faced with Edel's insincere words, little Rockefeller smiled helplessly. On the Italian side, he had already looked for it, and he had looked for it before Eder, and Mobil, who had no interests in it, was directly rejected on the spot.

"Your Majesty, I think that with the depth of our friendship, it would be best for you to take care of this matter. In return, we can sell half a billion dollars of your country's U.S. Treasury bonds. ”

Little Rockefeller's words made Edel unable to say anything he wanted to refuse.

There is no way, the most important task of this visit to the United States is to sell national bonds. At present, there are too few people willing to underwrite Romanian government bonds. Moreover, this time the amount of national debt is huge, and Eder intends to issue $1.8 billion in national debt in the United States, which is simply impossible without the help of American consortiums. For the American people, who have poor geographical knowledge, Rooria does not know where it is, and if you take out a map, maybe someone will point to the South Pole and say that this is Romania.

And he got the news that the capitalists led by Morgan obviously have their own ideas about this large-scale Romanian national debt.

It's not hard to guess that the king of Wall Street wants to implicate Romania's financial sector. This was somewhat difficult for Eder to accept. He knows exactly how greedy these Wall Street capitalists are. However, if Romania's financial industry is implicated, it will be quite detrimental to Romania's development.

As for the person in front of him, it is obvious that he wants to take advantage of Romania's special relationship with the current Italy to profit for Mobil.

Who makes the current Italy with Romania the best. The same Latin culture, combined with ambitions for the Balkans, has brought the two countries closer together. It stands to reason that Italy and Romania should be competitors in the same region, but how can they become collaborators?

Here we need to mention another country, France, which is known to have deteriorating relations with Italy because of the Mediterranean. Yugoslavia, on the other hand, had close ties with France, not to mention that Italy had territorial disputes with both countries. At present, only Romania has a strong relationship with France, and close relations with Italy. It just so happens that both countries have claims to the Balkans, and aren't they natural allies?

That's why, during Eder's visit, the Italian side showed a new level of extraordinary enthusiasm. It's just that Romania doesn't need much from Italy, so the relationship between the two countries has not yet developed to a substantive alliance.

This is also the reason why Rockefeller Jr. is looking for Eder, and what Mobil can't do can be replaced by Romania.

"Let me think about it."

Eder considered the stakes and said to Rockefeller Jr.

"No problem, welcome your majesty at any time."

After the talk, Eder refused Rockefeller Jr.'s offer and left.

After Edel left, the old Rockefeller appeared in front of the little Rockefeller.

"It seems that there is a lot of hope that this thing will succeed."

"Yes Father. I would also like to thank the Wall Street guy for that. If it weren't for his help, the Romanians wouldn't have given us a chance. ”

"And how are you going to thank him?"

"Maybe we can underwrite more of the Treasury bonds this time. Compared to the oil we sold, Morgan made too much profit by selling British and French government bonds during World War I. ”

It looks like Rockefeller Jr. has the power to expand his family's influence in the financial industry. And at the moment, Romania seems to have a good economy, and perhaps the American people can learn more about it.

Of course, even if the Romanian economy is not good, Rockefeller Jr. will have a way to sell his national debt. The word packaging needs to be used at any time in the financial industry.
