"The new official took office with three fires. biquge.info"It's a pity that this doesn't apply to the brand-new Texas Petroleum Development Company, not even a cannon fight, oh, not even a sign at the door." But what does it matter?

In order to strengthen the company, Situ Nan transferred several financial resources from Los Angeles to join the Texas Petroleum Development Company, Hayes recruited a local oil exploration engineering team, and Gedars acquired land or oil exploration lease contracts for land around Texas.

He Wenxiu, the head of the security department, is competent, and follows Situ Nan as before.

Robles quit his job at Standard Oil to devote himself to the affairs of his new company, and he was busy planning a brilliant project to become an instant hit.

Originally, Situ Nan wanted to copy the model in Shengda Fenquan, but after discussing it with Robles, he gave up the idea.

Situ Nan's plan in Shengda Fenquan at that time was really good, but now it is not suitable for the new company, such a large oil field is not suitable for ordinary oil merchants, and the development of Texas needs to accommodate more funds, Robles built yì to find the bank, he has prepared a plan.

After Situ Nan saw it, he immediately agreed to let Robles do it.

At this time, the Mellon family's First National Bank had a branch in Texas and had a lending business dedicated to oil exploration and development. At the same time, the Mellon-controlled Gulf Oil Company also has operations in Texas. It is a risk to cooperate with a giant like the Mellon family, but it is not possible to do so, and it is impossible not to contact such a giant if you want to make your business bigger and stronger in the United States.

However, now the overlord of the oil industry is the Standard Oil Company in the East, and Gulf Oil is only a small role at best, although for the nascent Texas Petroleum Development Company, Gulf Oil is also a behemoth, but Situ Nan is not worried about Gulf Oil Company, Texas is very big, so big that those giants are too busy.

After a few years, his Texas Petroleum Development Company has grown, and with a large number of oil fields in Texas, Situ Nan does not have to be afraid of any opponents.

Because of the butterfly effect or something, the Buck Burnett Town oil field in North Texas was discovered a few years earlier than the original history, and those crazy "wildcat prospectors" gathered in the small town of Buck Burnett, only to find that the nearby land had been bought half a year earlier.

What's the matter? Like monkeys who can't eat the fruit and are in a hurry to turn around under the trees, many oil companies have also received the news and are doing everything possible to inquire about the owners of these lands.

At this time, a Texas Petroleum Development Company approached the First National Bank, and since the Buck Burnett oil field had been confirmed, Robles had no trouble getting a $1 million loan from the bank, and the Texas Petroleum Development Company was also on the radar of the Gulf Oil Company.

The bait has been released, and the fish will soon take the bait. According to Robles's plan, it wouldn't be long before Gulf Oil came to his door. At the same time, the California oil company came to the door.

Since the establishment of California Petroleum, with the financial resources of the Brown family, the Ford Rolls family, a large amount of oil reserves, and the shrewdness and ability of Handar Brown, California Petroleum has grown a lot and has a good strength in California.

The ambitious Hantec was trying to further develop and expand the oil of California, and after receiving a telegram from Situ Nan, Hantec was first surprised, then rejoiced, and after he discussed it with Bote, the two hurriedly set off for Houston.

Yes, Situ Nan said in the telegram, and it is clear to everyone what it means that Buck Burnett in North Texas has discovered a large oil field and owns a large tract of land in Buck Burnett.

Originally, the two old foxes, Handar Brown and Bert Fordlaw, had expected to take the opportunity to annex Situ Nan's 30% stake in California after the failed investment, but now ・・・・・・

It's hard to say, California Oil has no influence in Texas, Texas Oil has more companies, Hantec only hopes that Situ Nan can take care of California Oil, after all, he is also one of the shareholders of California Petroleum.

"Hi Handar, Bot, long time no see." Situ Nan proudly hugged the two brothers.

"Stoney, when you said you were going to invest in steel, I didn't expect you to come to Texas all of a sudden, oh my God, you still found oil, can your nose smell oil underground? Sue sù me, huh? ”

Although Hengda had a smile on his face, Situ Nan heard the envy in his words and had some sourness.

Bot stood aside, laughing as if Hendar had spoken his mind.

"This is my partner, Robles." Situ Nan knew the thoughts of these two old foxes, but he didn't answer their words, and directly introduced Robles and said.

"Robles Mellon. Now the general manager of Texas Petroleum Development Corporation, it was a pleasure to meet both. Robles stepped forward and said.

Situ Nan has his own oil company in Texas?!

Hengda was shocked, and felt that things were not as simple as she imagined.

However, he and Bot are both tried and tested old foxes, and no matter what they think in their hearts, they are still smiling on the outside.

After learning that Texas Petroleum Development Company controlled a large number of oil fields in North Texas, Hantec immediately demanded that the oil fields in the hands of Texas Petroleum Development Company be transferred to California Petroleum. This request was immediately rejected by Robles.

Situ Nan wanted to get a controlling stake in California Petroleum, but he couldn't save face, and the negotiation work was handed over to Robles, who obviously understood Situ Nan's thoughts, so he put forward this condition in the negotiations, but Handar refused. Hantec put so much effort into it, apparently handing over control of the company without studying, and for a while, the negotiations reached an impasse.

Situ Nan had expected this result, and two days later, the Gulf Oil Company finally came to the door, and they also coveted the oil fields in the hands of the Texas Petroleum Development Company.

Gulf Oil's entry into the fray is bad news for Hantec, and in Texas, California really can't compare to Gulf Oil, unless Hantec has always wanted to stay in California, otherwise it is certain that they will make concessions to Robles.

The straw that overwhelmed Henda's heart was a conversation between Situ Nan and Hender Brown.

"Hantec, I have oil fields in my hands, a lot of oil fields, much more oil fields than Buck Burnett, and if I don't have a majority stake in the company, I can only cooperate with someone else, or start a new business, and only then can I guarantee my interests.

The general manager of the company is still you, and Robles and I will not fight for the right to operate the company, although once I follow my plan, you and Bote's shares will be reduced, but the company's strength will be higher, and your interests will not be lost, but will increase. ”

Hantec was thinking about the gains and losses repeatedly, and if it was really like what Situ Nan said, he could only give in for the sake of interests.

"Alright! You win! But I still have to talk to Bote. Brown finally decided, "I just didn't expect you to grow so fast, and I'm really curious how you did it!" ”

Situ Nan finally put his mind at ease, to be honest, he has always had a good relationship with Handar Brown, and he received a lot of help from Brown in the early days of his career, and he really didn't want to part ways with Handar Brown unless he had to. Besides, it's not easy to find a CEO like Hantac.

The next day, Hantec and Bot agreed to Situ Nan's share adjustment request, and Texas Petroleum Development Company took a 50% stake in PetroCal with its oil field, and Hander Brown and Bert Fort Laus's shares in PetroCal fell to 20% and 15%, and Situ Nantong Guò Texas Petroleum Development Company and its original 30% stake in California successfully controlled 65% of PetroCal's shares.

Although he is no longer the majority shareholder of California Petroleum, after knowing that the company now holds so many oil fields, Hantec is excited, and he loses a trace of loss in his heart, and he can't get all the oil out immediately.

Bot was also satisfied with this result, after all, the oil business is not the main industry of the Ford Rouse family, wouldn't it be nice to sit and wait for dividends?

The general manager of the newly formed Petro-Cal is still Hantec, but now that the company's focus has shifted to Texas, it is not good to call Petro-Cal, so it was agreed to change the name of Petro-Cal to Occidental Petroleum.

Well, this appeared earlier than the original historical Occidental Petroleum Company, and in the same way, this Occidental Petroleum Company is much stronger than the original historical one.

Negotiations between the newly formed Occidental Petroleum and Gulf Oil were also effortless, and according to Situ Nan's instructions, Robles, the deputy general manager of Occidental Petroleum, reached an agreement with Gulf Petroleum, under which Occidental Petroleum would sell all of its Buck Burnett Town oil fields to Gulf Petroleum at a cost of $30 million, as well as provide technology and equipment for pipeline construction and refinery cooperation with Occidental Petroleum. Of course, such a large amount of money cannot be taken out all at once, and it must be invested gradually in installments, but with the financial resources of the Mellon family, there is no problem.

In order to exploit its own oil fields, Occidental Petroleum decided to develop the company's oil fields in the town of Lanjie. It is a very good oil quality and production field, and in order to raise more money, Occidental Petroleum is preparing to borrow $50 million from First National Bank to build the company's refinery and terminal in Houston.

That's a big deal! Now that war is on the verge of breaking out in Europe and oil prices are rising, the top brass of Western oil companies have always believed that the war will start soon, and oil prices will rise by then, and they are not afraid that they will lose money if they invest a lot of money now.

Since the news of the deal between Occidental Petroleum and Gulf Oil Company came out, there has been an uproar throughout Texas, and people have been asking from which gully this Occidental oil company came from.

After being meddled by big companies like Gulf Oil, the shrewd wildcats finally knew that the Buck Burnett Town oil field was not theirs, and they gradually left. However, they were not disappointed, and they were encouraged by the discovery of the oil field in Buck Burnett, and for a while, "wildcat prospectors" could be seen everywhere in other parts of North Texas, and new oil fields were discovered in North Texas from time to time.

After Occidental Petroleum first entered the sight of the Texas oil industry, everyone knew that this was a new giant to be born, although he was still very young!

What Situ Nan didn't expect was that Standard Oil and Shell Oil also came to the door!

These are giants that Western Petroleum cannot offend, especially Standard Oil! In many cases, Occidental Petroleum has to sell surplus crude oil to these big companies because of its limited processing capacity.

Since he couldn't afford to provoke and hide, he could only be careful, and the shrewd Hantec had to sell a small part of the oil field to Standard Oil and Shell in exchange for money and technology to build its own refinery.

Selling only crude oil will not develop a big business, refining crude oil into high value-added refined oil is the king! As a result, Occidental Petroleum, which had the capital and technology and did not have to worry about crude oil reserves, soon developed its own oil business in Houston and California. Taking advantage of the East Wind of World War I, oil prices rose, and Western oil ushered in a golden period of development.

Although there is still a lot of cow in Houston today, there are more oil refineries, chemical plants, and increasingly busy docks, and expanding cities. At the current rate of extraction, Occidental Petroleum's Texas field can be exploited continuously for 100 years.

And Situ Nan also secretly holds the two major oil fields in Texas, the East Texas oil field and the Conroe oil field north of Houston, and Situ Nan doesn't want to hand them over to Occidental Petroleum because it can't eat it now.

Hayes was sent by Situ Nan to the company's mining department, and in addition to being a small shareholder of the company, he is now the foreman of the company's oil field!

It's the simple-minded guy's favorite thing to do. Guedas is now a head of the new oil company and spends his days fighting with the oil merchants.

As for Robles, as the company's deputy general manager, he assisted Hantec in implementing the company's plan step by step, and he was so busy that only Situ Nan was idle.

Now that Western Petroleum has completed the integration of the oil industry chain step by step according to the plan, the big decision has been made, and all that remains is to implement it and lay a good foundation.

After half a year of busy work, the matter finally came to an end, and Situ Nan was physically and mentally exhausted and could finally be idle.

In the past two days, he took He Wenxiu to do a cowboy in Texas, but his marksmanship was still very stinky, which made He Wenxiu frown constantly.
