In the Kingdom Suite on the third floor of the Safoy Hotel in London, the dining room of the Kingdom Suite has become a meeting room, and the table has become a negotiation table, and the atmosphere here is a little relaxed, and some laughter can be heard in the restaurant from time to time.

The negotiations had been going on for an hour, and in that hour, the American-accented guests in the room had made more substantial progress than had been done in the past six months, and if the door had been closed and the four guests had been avoided, the Americans would have closed the door and cheered for today's substantive progress.

Even to express the celebration of the partial consensus between the two sides, in Little John? At the suggestion of D. Rockefeller, he also deliberately opened a bottle of red wine, although everyone took a breath of it, but the red wine on the table represented that both parties were in a very good mood.

“…… So, Mr. Rockefeller, I think that's what we offered! ”

Little John? D. Rockefeller slowly put down the red wine glass, did not bring it to his mouth, slowly leaned back in the chair, and supported the chair arm with both hands. Looking at the Chinese who spoke English with a London accent, he did not imagine that his negotiating partner would be an Oriental until the Sterling sisters visited.

And because of this, he was also convinced of the rumors that had been rumored all along, and although he got some evidence that the rumor was not a rumor, and even armed with it, the result was ridiculous.

"20 years!"

Little John? D. Rockefeller whispered in his heart about this time.

They would have offered this condition more than he had imagined, or that it was beyond his consideration, but now he could not help but consider it, and Miss Stirling made it very clear that these three conditions were the root of the real substantive problem.

"There is no problem that the New Jersey Standard can promise not to attempt to get involved in oil exploration and development in Persia until the expiration of the future Anglo-Polish oil company's concessions, that is, until 1960!"

Cass? After a moment of silence, Miller looked at Zhang Hao with a smile on his face, as one of the three basic conditions, but this one is almost dispensable, the Anglo-Polish oil company has the exclusive right to explore and exploit granted by the Persian king, even if New Jersey Standard tries to get involved in Persian oil exploration, it cannot bypass this concession.

"In the future, Anglo-Polish Petroleum will enter into a commercial partnership with Standard Oil of New Jersey, and Standard Oil of New Jersey will transport oil and refine oil for Anglo-Polish at a cost fluctuation of 5%, and will promise to carry oil for Anglo-Polish Oil Company outside the destination of non-US direct belligerents.

Cass? Miller's praise only made Zhang Hao laugh and not answer, and now he is no longer the fledgling "translator" who graduated from the Hamburg business school, but also the leading negotiator and business representative of the industrial company in Europe.

In the steel mill equipment, his strategy not only forced the Germans to make a 20% concession, but even obtained a long-term credit loan totaling 25 million marks from the four major German banks, which was a purely commercial loan, without any strings attached, according to the contract, and even together with the creditor's rights, without consulting with the industrial company, until the industrial company refused to redeem the creditor's rights, any creditor's rights were aware that the industrial company could refuse to recognize and return the loan, although it was only the most ordinary commercial loan. But for Chinese companies, this may be the first cross-border loan on an equal footing.

It was precisely that negotiation with the German industrial and financial circles that established Zhang Hao's position in the industrial company, otherwise he would not have participated in this business negotiation as one of the negotiators who had no connection with the industrial company on the surface.

"However, we cannot accept the commitment to provide your company with up to 50% of the production of oil and refined products from Mexico's oil fields at 80% of the market price for the next 20 years."

Cass? Miller rejected the third condition in a very bland tone, which amounted to the fact that Standard Oil of New Jersey would become an oil producer of Anglo-Polish oil after acquiring the Mexican oil fields, and that the Anglo-Polish oil company would receive millions of pounds a year alone, which was absolutely unacceptable.

Zhang Hao turned his gaze away from Cass? Miller's body was transferred to John Jr.? D. Rockefeller's body.

"What do you think, Mr. Rockefeller?"

Little John? D. Rockefeller just shrugged slightly.

"Cass's opinion represents my opinion!"

In the face of rejection, Zhang Hao just smiled mysteriously.

"Mr. Rockefeller, I think you may need ...... Well! Maybe in two or three hours, a change will be made! ”

Make a change after an hour or two?

Little John? D. Rockefeller, Cass? Miller, Horace? At the same time, Weigel and the others looked at Zhang Hao, whose smile seemed to be a little mysterious, in surprise, and they didn't understand why they said this to him, and they were so confident.

"The 68 wells that have been drilled in the Mexican fields have proven the potential of this field, and I think there is no doubt about that, Mr. Rockefeller, that maybe this year, the oil industry in the Mexican fields will exceed the oil production of the whole United States, and I am convinced of that!"

Zhang Hao said confidently, just before coming to the Safoy Hotel today, he received a telegram from his wife, and the content of the telegram could not be clearer, the oil field once again drilled an amazing oil well.

"I believe that the Mexican oil field will become the largest oil field in the world with the largest production and reserves, and it will be ......"

Zhang Hao paused for a moment, and then looked at Little Rockefeller confidently.

"Maybe in a few days, the whole world will understand this fact!"

"Mr. Zhang, I understand what you mean, your Trero Drano No. 4 well has been spewing oil for three months in a row, and the oil spewed out should be about 7 million tons, as of now, your oil storage tanks and oil storage sites have stored more than 100 million barrels of oil, but until now only 20 million barrels of oil have been sold, there is no doubt that you have discovered large oil fields, but if there are no refineries and oil tankers, there is no difference between the oil stored in the oil barrels and the oil storage tanks and buried and underground!"

Horace? Wigel smiled coldly, to make him completely broken, it was very simple to remind him of the facts he needed to face.

"A loan of 12 million pounds, in addition to 2 million pounds for the construction of terminals and oil pipelines, 2 million pounds for the purchase of Europe's largest oil refinery, 8 million pounds for the purchase of oil tankers and the purchase of old freighters to convert oil tankers, Mr. Horace, how long do you think this embargo can be maintained? If London's financial community gets a controlling stake in Anglo-Mexican Oil, then New Jersey Standard will have to face an oil giant that is more powerful than ever, right? He has the largest market in the world, the largest merchant fleet, and if you add the largest oil fields in the world! ”

In Horace? When Weigel was cold and speechless, Zhang Jie understood, and now the doctor was already scared, and his face suddenly became overwhelmed and vague, as if a boxer in the boxing ring had received a beautiful blow and felt dizzy. So he once again turned his attention to Rockefeller Jr.

"Mr. Rockefeller, just yesterday we drilled another high-yielding well, Cerro? Well Azul 4, which may be the most productive well in the world that can never be surpassed, produces more than 37,000 tons of crude oil, Mr. Rockefeller, now is the time for you to make your choice! Buy 55% of Anglo-Mexican's shares, or let Anglo-Mexico become your biggest competitor! ”

Little John? D. Rockefeller and his entourage were completely stunned by Zhang Hao's words, three 10,000-ton oil wells have been exploited in the Mexican oil field, and these oil wells with amazing production have proved the potential of this oil well to the world with their oil production, while they sat there motionless, Zhang Hao rubbed his temples with his hands, and seemed to be very troubled.

"Maybe they still need time, Charles, how much time do we have left!"

"Mr. Zhang, we have less than two hours left!"

"Two hours......"

Zhang Hao muttered softly, and then rubbed his temples again.

Even if they didn't know what he was referring to with how much time was left, Rockefeller Jr. vaguely guessed what he was referring to, and the reason why they were willing to sit down and talk about selling the shares of Anglo-Mexican Petroleum was because of the pressure of the British bankers, who put Anglo-Mexico in a difficult situation with a simple loan, and had to accept the request of the British banking syndicate to sell 45% of the shares to the banking syndicate at the reserve price.

The separation of Anglo-Polish oil from Anglo-Mexican oil and the resumption of contact with Standard Oil of New Jersey is nothing more than to counter the greed of the bankers, maybe the bankers can get a stake in the Anglo-Mexican oil company and get a huge return, but they can't control the oil fields, which is exactly why the Stirling lady did this, the bankers were rewarded, but they could not regret the future Anglo-Polish oil monopoly on Britain and the colonies after the breakthrough in oil exploration in Persia.

Ms. Stirling had her needs, and the Rockefellers had their own pursuits, and building a vast oil empire had always been his father's dream, as well as his, in which no competitor could threaten them.

Silence, silence for a long time, little John? D. Rockefeller raised his head and looked directly at Zhang Hao in front of him, and then smiled slightly.

"Make an offer!"

A simple sentence surprised Zhang Hao, he originally thought that Little John? D. Rockefeller still needs time to confirm the 37,000-ton oil well, but ...... Although he was surprised, Zhang Hao still wrote a number on the note of the Safoi Hotel and handed it over.

Pull this note, little John? D. Rockefeller just glanced at it, then looked at Zhang Hao again, and then stood up without saying a word, walked to the small wine cabinet behind him, and took out a piece of champagne, "Bang!" With a sound, the champagne opened!

Then he filled a few goblets himself, then filled himself, and the champagne overflowed the glasses, and everyone who looked at him knew what it meant, which meant that he accepted the price.

"Mr. Zhang, today, we have made history, and this will be the largest acquisition in history, and even Morgan's acquisition of Carnegie Steel last year could not be compared."

"I think so! Congratulations, Little John? Mr. D. Rockefeller, now you have one of the largest oil empires in the world! ”

"Cheers to your oil empire......"

Bite...... The crisp clatter of wine glasses rang out in the room of the Bank of England.

"Miss Catherine, I know, you may wonder why they are so happy, do you?"

With a glass of wine in his hand, Shelfield couldn't help but look around, and he could feel the elation of the bankers, sometimes always, and although they were still some distance from the desired goal, the rich rewards would still excite the greedy bankers.

"Wealth, isn't it?"

Catherine smiled coldly and drank the champagne in her glass.

"As a banker, shame and shame have long been swept out of their personality dictionary, and they have never seen only profit in their eyes, haven't they? Mr. Shelfield. ”

"Miss Catherine, you and I are both members of the banker!"

Shelfield nodded in agreement with Catherine.

"From the time you came into contact with the Rockefeller family, they have been informed, but nothing has stopped you, for them!"

Drinking the champagne in his glass, Shelfield's expression became extremely serious.

"If you can control the Anglo-Mexican oil company, then control this company, of course, this will require tens of millions of pounds in the future, and your sale has tied the Anglo-Mexican oil company to Rockefeller, the refineries owned by Rockefeller, the cruise fleet, all this just makes them get more lucrative returns, and stable, Rockefeller has a complete oil market network in the New World, the Old World and Asia, this cooperation is more stable, they ostensibly increased the purchase price by 30%, But actually, you know, even so, the actual rewards they get are far greater than they imagined. ”

"Cheers to Britain!"

Suddenly, Shelfield whispered something to Catherine, and then he asked with interest.

"Is there really oil there in Persia?"

"Do you care about this?"

Catherine asked softly, then smiled softly.

"Yes," Shelfield nodded, and poured a glass of champagne for Catherine himself.

"Some people can not care, but some people still care about it? Isn't it? Miss Catherine, not everyone has gold pounds in their hearts! ”

After saying this, Shelfield sighed again.

"Ahem, do you now know who I'm most worried about in the whole of England?"

Shelfield looked at Catherine seriously, with a slight helplessness in his expression, but his words made Catherine stunned for a moment, and then understood what he meant by the most worry, his worry was that the huge amount of money was withdrawn.

Cather, with his glass, laughed out loud.

"Mr. Shelfield, I think you can put your mind at ease, after all, 3.75% interest is something that no one can ignore, isn't it?"

"But even so, I'm still worried!"

Shelfield said immediately.

"Maybe you can suggest that Miss Ji Li, and of course her husband, can make some real investments, and I personally think that Mr. Chen may consider expanding the car factory or steel factory, or even directly invest in the UK to set up a car factory, what do you think?"

There is no bank in the world that is not afraid of a run, not even the Bank of England, these bankers get the wealth they need, and they also concentrate a staggering amount of cash wealth in the hands of one person, and this problem is that the Bank of England does not have to face a problem, wealth belongs to the bankers, and the problem belongs to the country!

"Hmm...... I guess you can only pray that the UK will not increase tariffs on certain products, right? ”

Catherine smiled slyly, losing sometimes means gaining, Chen Moran lost one thing, but in Britain and the United States, he got something that they couldn't help but fear! This is probably something that the British bankers and Rockefeller did not expect, perhaps and were happy to see.

"Those people don't have that influence yet! Even their influence can't catch up with the carriage shop! ”

Shelfield told the truth that the influence of the carmakers, whether in Britain or the United States, was simply not enough to influence the decisions of Congress, and that the financiers in this house were probably more than anyone else happy to see the popularity of automobiles, which needed to burn gasoline, which in turn was extracted from oil, and that the development of automobiles would only bring them more wealth.

Especially after Mustang won the Yanjing-Paris car competition, the whole of Europe was talking about a solid and reliable car like a "Mustang", even in London and New York.

"Miss Gilly has lost the Mexican oil fields, and has gained two staggering fortunes in two countries, and two allies, Miss Catherine, and perhaps one day I will go to Shanghai to visit Miss Gilly's husband, and two months ago I used to think that it was an insult to the nobility of England for Miss Gilly to marry an Oriental, but now, Miss Catherine, I have to say, that perhaps I will witness the rise of the Morgan family in Asia!"

"Look at what you said, the industrial company is just a small company!"

Catherine smiled softly.

"Maybe he can have unimaginable wealth, but you know that in the East, especially in that country, being rich does not mean power, and sometimes it can even be a disaster!"

With a slight shrug of his shoulder, a smile appeared on Shelfield's face.

"Who knows? Maybe one day, wealth will turn into power, and in this world, there are always many things that we can't predict, right? ”
