Section 717 Overlord Clause
Yes, definitely, the three major oil and gas fields in the future, the Gulf of Mexico, the Middle East and the North Sea, once the oil and gas fields in the Gulf of Mexico are discovered, the Americans will go crazy. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
At least the old Rockefeller in front of Yang Chao will go crazy.
Yang Chao is a guest invited by Rockefeller, no matter Yang Chao's status or importance, the old Rockefeller has a reason to come out to receive him in person, instead of just letting one of his sons go out to deal with it like other guests.
Of course, more importantly, the two are also old friends, old friends who have worked together for decades.
During the exclusion of the United States, China and the United States severed all contacts, even then, Yang Chao and Rockefeller did not stop contacting, there is still a lot of cooperation in Europe, Yang Zi's laboratory research on the oil pipeline insulation technology was shared with Rockefeller, and Rockefeller transferred the technology of large oil pumps.
After restoring relations with the United States, the cooperation between the Yang Zi Consortium and the Rockefeller Consortium was naturally greater, in addition to the cooperative production of chemical fiber in the United States, the Zeppelin Company under the Yang Zi Consortium began to import a large amount of helium produced by Rockefeller to provide safer filling gas for the airships of its own air transport company.
"We pledged not to scale back oil purchases from the Rockefeller Corporation. Importing oil from Mexico is just an increase in a safe oil supply channel, after all, all the sources of oil in our country are not under our control, and in the long run, it poses a great threat to our security. That's why we're working with Mexicans. Why can't you accept it? ”
Greetings and other omissions, when it came time to talk about business, Yang Chao persuaded Rockefeller like this.
Rockefeller is not a fool, Yangzi Oil Company imports oil from Mexico, a neighbor of the United States, and there are economic disputes between Petroleos Mexicanos and the United States, especially with the Rockefeller consortium.
But this matter is not without room for turnaround, after all, China is the world's largest customer, doing business, no one wants to offend customers, but he heard that recently Soviet Russia has expanded the scale of exploitation of the Tyumen oil field, is actively lobbying in China, hoping to expand oil exports to China.
Compared with Britain, Soviet Russia is Rockefeller's most feared opponent, because the British have always been principled in doing things, selling oil is still a business in the final analysis, and the British are willing to do it according to the rules of the market, but Soviet Russia has no awareness of this at all, this is a hungry wolf who suddenly broke into the lions, does not follow the rules, and has a huge appetite, and wants to eat all the meat.
Soviet Russia didn't care about the cost at all, what they cared about was being able to earn more foreign exchange, raising funds for their third five-year plan, as long as they could earn more foreign exchange, they were willing to reduce the price of oil to half of what it is now, and if the Chinese agreed, it would be a huge loss for Rockefeller.
He can now export 100 million barrels of oil to China, and according to the agreement with Yangzi Oil Company, 1 barrel of 1 barrel is 100 million US dollars, which is also a big benefit for Rockefeller, because he can make at least 50 million dollars in profits from it.
Many of the 100 million barrels of oil are not Rockefeller's own oil, but those small oil companies in California and Texas, under the economic crisis, these madmen don't care about anything, and the price of the wellhead has been pushed down to 2 cents by them, but unfortunately no matter how cheap they sell, they have to go through the Rockefeller oil pipeline, and they have to give as much as the Rockefeller wants.
And the cost of transportation of oil pipelines, apparently, could not have been $1, so Rockefeller was very profitable.
But if Yang Chao is offended and the Yangzi Oil Company cuts its share of oil imports from the United States, the British will probably be very happy, and Roosevelt knows the news, and Rockefeller also knows it, and he is also suspecting that the British are not at ease this time, and if the US Navy and the North Korean Navy exchange fire, whether Yang Chao is hurt or not, I am afraid that the Yangzi Oil Company will not be able to do business with the Americans, and then Britain will return to the era of monopolizing the Chinese oil market.
So Rockefeller also had to think about the competition of the British.
In a word, China has a choice, but the United States does not.
The United States could produce 1.5 billion barrels of oil a year in World War II, but its current consumption capacity is less than 700 million barrels, but their production capacity is 1 billion barrels, a serious surplus, and the production that they have to maintain just to maintain the pressure at the wellhead exceeds the current demand of the United States, so they have to rely on the Chinese market to digest part of it.
How much can the Chinese market digest, 300 million barrels is no problem, now they import 300 million barrels from the British every year, 100 million barrels from Soviet Russia, 100 million barrels from the United States, but everyone can see that in recent years, the oil consumption of the Chinese has increased rapidly, their automobile industry is rapidly catching up with the United States, the annual output has exceeded more than two million vehicles, approaching three million vehicles, and it is not a problem to surpass the United States in five years.
Even if their oil consumption remains the same, the 300 million barrels imported from the British will be transferred to the United States, which is also a matter of Yang Chao's words, after all, he controls more than half of China's oil refining capacity, and at the same time controls more than ninety percent of the oil transportation business, which can be said to be a monopoly position, just like the Rockefeller in the past, how much oil is sold is completely up to him.
"300 million barrels!"
Rockefeller stretched out three fingers with a blank face.
"Yangzi Petroleum buys 300 million barrels of oil a year from the United States. Only then will it be possible to convince the American people to give up their oil interests in Mexico. ”
Yang Chao pondered for a moment: "This can be done. ”
Rockefeller added: "Mexicans must compensate American investors in full. ”
Yang Chao said: "I think this should be." ”
Rockefeller continued: "Mexico's oil exports must also be transported through the U.S. oil pipelines. ”
Yang Chao hesitated.
But he still said: "I will convey this." ”
There is no need to bargain, the identity of the two is bargaining, it is too cheap.
Anyway, it is the Mexicans who bear the cost, and the more they are exploited by the United States, the deeper their hatred of the United States will be.
Yang Chao quickly conveyed Rockefeller's demands to the Mexicans, and to be honest, these demands were too overbearing, and they were really selling oil, which was the essence of the overlord clause.
As for the Mexicans, they have no choice.
It's just that Yang Chao still underestimated the greed of the oil giants, and the conditions that Rockefeller gave to the Mexicans were far more harsh than Yang Chao imagined. (To be continued.) )
