Coming to the Rockefeller Manor again, Situ Nan faced this old-school oil family in a more equal state, and Rockefeller Jr. came forward to receive Situ Nan.

When they met, both sides did not immediately discuss the topic of oil, but exchanged experience and cooperation in the operation of charitable foundations.

The old Rockefeller was older, his hair and beard were all gray, and he was the kind of person who was emaciated. Mellon is very similar, and that emaciated body does not look like an American to Situ Nan, and Americans are naturally obese.

"Boy, you've done a good job in the past few years, and you have the style I had back then!" Old Rockefeller laughed at Situ Nandao.

The conversation took place in the courtyard, the old Rockefeller was wearing a brown coat, sitting on a chaise longue, in good spirits, and when he saw Situ Nan and Little Rockefeller coming over, he beckoned Situ Nan to sit down.

"John, you're my idol, and I've been learning how you run an oil empire." Situ Nan said sincerely.

"Hmm. You're learning well. I thought that my oil empire had reached its limit, and that no oil merchant would ever surpass me, not even half of me. But William's department is about to catch up with the Rockefeller department, and if you add the Gulf Oil Company, William's department is not inferior to the Rockefeller department at all. It's a miracle! You did it! ”

Old Rockefeller nodded, glanced at Situ Nan appreciatively, and his seemingly cloudy eyes flashed from time to time.

This young man is amazing, he almost has the ability to turn a little stone into gold, and at the age of thirty he has built a business empire, which is even better than he was back then.

Although the two sides are rivals, in terms of personal relationship, Situ Nan respects the old Rockefeller very much. The elder Rockefeller has also been paying attention to Situ Nan. There weren't many of them. It can also be called a year-old friend.

For the old Rockefeller's praise, Situ Nan smiled and nodded, without saying anything modest. "Maybe a few years later, William will be able to be a Rockefeller line, but it will never reach the grandeur of the Standard Oil empire. That's a myth! Therefore, the laurels of the empire of the oil industry will forever belong to the empire of Standard Oil and its creator, Rockefeller! ”

Situ Nan praised sincerely.

"Maybe you'll have to thank Theodore. Roosevelt, he demolished my oil empire to make you seize the opportunity to rise. ”

Old Rockefeller smiled, feeling a little regretful. But after all these years, he has seen it, even without Theodore. Roosevelt, the Standard Oil empire will also collapse, it's just a matter of time.

After all, John. There is only one Rockefeller, and it is impossible for the children and grandchildren to have their own opportunities and talents.

Now what the Rockefeller family needs is to keep the wealth, and at the same time let more people become better because of the Rockefeller family's wealth, so there is the Rockefeller Foundation.

One of the two major foundations in the United States, the other being the William Foundation.

"John. I heard that your current state is to retire and rest? Situ Nan asked with a smile, glancing at old Rockefeller with concern. As if to say, can you physically bear it?

It is said that this old man still works 8 hours a day? It is really the best portrayal of this capitalist's diligent life! I thought to myself that when I got older, I would definitely not work like this, after all, not everyone is a workaholic.

Accustomed to the busyness and power of his reign, he will have a sense of loss after retirement. If you don't have an open-minded mind, you will soon collapse.

"I've been busy all my life, I'm used to it, I can't stop, I just want to find something to do."

The old Rockefeller smiled and nodded, seeing that Situ Nan was a little moved, he said, "The main time is to accompany his grandson, and take care of a little personal finances by the way, the oil company doesn't pay much attention to it, and little John doesn't seem to be very interested in the oil company business, it is estimated that in a few years, the Rockefeller family will slowly fade out of the oil company." ”

Little Rockefeller nodded with a smile: "If it weren't for the fact that this time it was a big matter, and it happened that both of us had a bump, I wouldn't want to hold an oil meeting at home and affect the peace of the house." Of course, Walter. Teagard: They're doing a good job. ”

Situ Nan didn't know if this was true or not, as long as the old Rockefeller didn't die for a day, he couldn't take it lightly.

The rest assured is that the old Rockefeller is already old and does not act as domineering as he did back then, so there is no need to worry about him and the Rockefeller family carrying out "brute force blasting" on themselves.

As for the competition in business, whether he wins or loses, Situ Nan can accept it. Well, he's a little scared to death because there are so many plans that haven't been realized yet.

It didn't take long to see the old Rockefeller, and the old Rockefeller sent Situ Nan away on the grounds that he was tired.

"I heard you're going to build a skyscraper?" Back in the living room, Rockefeller Jr. asked Stuart Nandao.

The news spread so fast that even little Rockefeller knew?

Situ Nan said: "This is Walter's idea!" He's going to build a skyscraper to show off his car empire! Well, I was convinced too! The happiest person now is probably the mayor of New York! ”

After speaking, Situ Nan raised his head and glanced at Little Rockefeller with a smile: "What?" The Rockefellers are also ready to move? ”

Rockefeller Jr. smiled and shook his head: "It's not me, it's General Motors." Someone was stimulated and wanted to start a skyscraper project, so they approached an oil company for financing.

You know, just like Chevron Oil was involved in the Chrysler Building, Mobil and Exxon were inevitably lobbied by General Motors, after all, we have a good relationship with General Motors. ”

"The fact that two skyscrapers are going to be built at once shows that the American economy is in a boom period, and the American national power is expanding, which will attract the attention of Europeans, and the power of New York can be felt across the Atlantic. Maybe they'll be able to see New York's skyscrapers in London! ”

Situ Nanyi pointed out.

There are no skyscrapers in Europe, only nouveau riche like the Yankees would build so many skyscrapers, either in New York or Chicago.

This was in the twenties!

In the era when there were no televisions, the hundred-story building was indeed very majestic!

It is the best way for nouveau riche to make a name for themselves!

Not to mention the later Asian Four Little Dragons and Asian Divine Dragons, Japan, which had an earthquake in the first two days, was no exception.

It is not difficult to understand that Rockefeller Jr. was also concerned about this, and he laughed and said: "So we stand together against the British again." Isn't it? ”

"John. After all, Iraq is British territory. The Brit isn't that easy to talk to! Of course, I stand with you. Situ Nan responded with a smile.

At the oil conference, the seven or eight sisters of oil?

Some of Situ Nan knew, such as Shell Oil's chairman Henry Brown. Detting, some of whom are only known by name and do not know them, such as the chairman of BP Oil, John Brown. Cadman.

Even the chairman of Exxon, Walter Brown. It was the first time that Tigger had met Situ Nan, even though Situ Nan and the Rockefeller family had always had a good relationship.

"Hi. Walter! Your name is Walter, too, and I know a Walter, but that Walter has been costing me a lot of money lately. ”

Stuart Nan humorously and Walter. Tiggall said hello.

Walter. Teagel also knew about the Chrysler Building plan, and he also smiled: "Maybe you should replace that Walter, I, Walter, don't spend money indiscriminately." ”

The two of them laughed after speaking.

Also present at the meeting was Gulf Oil's Richard Brown. Mellon, looking at Situ Nan and a group of Yankees enthusiastically familiar with each other, the chairman of BP Oil Company, John Brown. Cadman touched Henry next to him. De Tedding: "He's the creator of William's line, the Rockefeller's Stoney. William! ”

"Hmm."

"Damn the Yankees! Damn Chevron! We've got into big trouble this time! ”

John. Cadman cursed under his breath.

If Chevron hadn't lit this fire, how could Shell have a chance to get involved in the Middle East? All the oil giants have flocked to the Middle East to fish in the bowl of BP oil!

"Strictly speaking. He should be British! I have British nationality! ”

Henry. Detedin knew a little more about Situ Nan's situation and told him about Situ Nan's early years.

John. Cadman was surprised, looked at Situ Nan's excessively young appearance, and shook his head, another story of a British broken family turned into an American upper-class person!

If it weren't for this incident, he might not have been able to meet the mysterious Situ Nan, but as usual, he continued to talk to Hengda who was standing beside Situ Nan at the moment. Brown deals.

At the oil conference, the British, mainly BP, took a very tough stance and strongly opposed the excessive stake of foreign oil companies in the Iraqi oil company.

Resolutely the former Turkish Oil Company, which is now the Persian Oil Company, will distribute the oil interests of various countries.

According to the "San Morey Agreement" reached after World War I, the share of oil allocated by US oil companies is too small, adding up to less than 30%, and BP is the only one.

From the very beginning, the chairman of Exxon accused BP of being overbearing and violating the open door policy: "BP oil wants to send us like beggars, and if this policy of discriminating against us continues, then BP wants to be respected in the United States."

According to the principle of reciprocity, BP's share of oil fields in the United States must be reduced to less than 30%, and the excess shares will be sold to US oil companies. ”

It's worth it!

A lot of Shell oil company's business is in the United States, and the shares in the oil fields held in Texas and California are 100 percent.

So Henry. Detding immediately jumped out to persuade peace: "Gentlemen, don't be stupid, provoking a trade war, everyone is not good, it is not in line with the sacred principle of free trade!" Let's be practical! ”

After several days of arguing, there was no result.

BP oil company and Exxon and Mobil quarreled the most, Chevron and Gulf followed behind in solidarity with Exxon and Mobil, and France's Dadal was not willing to be lonely, jumping out from time to time to brush up on the sense of existence, Yankees and British must not forget the great France!

Shell has a more ambiguous attitude, does not like the aggressive Yankees, nor does it like BP Oil, which has a cold attitude towards itself, and is even more afraid of a trade war and being affected by the pond fish.

The French company Dadal is not only interested in the Middle East, but also in Libya.

The French were depressed, and also in North Africa, how could the Chevron oil company's exploration team fail to discover an oil field in Algeria? Of course, Dadol himself did not find oil fields in Algeria.

As we all know, Chevron Oil Company has gone further than its peers in the field of oil field exploration and exploitation, and its record is enviable, and Dadal Oil Company very much hopes to cooperate with Chevron Oil Company and play seriously in Algeria, so that there is no need to envy the Italians.

Situ Nan's ears were ringing for a few days, and he had no interest in watching these elderly men quarrel, and he was noncommittal about the suggestions of the French, and now the French were mixing with the Italians to put pressure on Chevron to give up some of its oil fields.

BP and Exxon soon realized that the crux of the problem lay in Chevron, and that BP and Exxon might be compensated satisfactorily if their share of Chevron were reduced.

"Why don't you see Mr. William today?" Exxon Oil Corporation's Chairman Walter Brown. Teagar asked Henda. Brown.

These days, Handar. Brown is low-key and doesn't talk much.

"He's gone for something, and now I'm representing Chevron Oil." Hantec. Brown said lightly.

He would tell others that Situ Nan thought the meeting was too boring, so why don't he go home and tease his daughter?

According to the consensus reached between him and Situan, even if Chevron Oil Company does not intend to compete for the equity of Iraqi Oil Company, whether BP Oil or Exxon Oil, if they want to be compensated by Chevron Oil Company, they have to come up with something in exchange.

"Looks like this meeting is going to be yellow?" Walter. Teagar sighed as he secretly observed Handar. Brown's reaction to see what Chevron's attitude is.

"Want to be yellow?" Hantec. Brown frowned, a little anxious.

Fortunately, Sinclair's tough attitude and flexible tactics have done well against the Italians in Libya, otherwise Chevron would not have been able to cope with this two-front situation.

"Somebody has to compromise! Damn the British, as greedy and hateful as their ancestors! ”

Walter. Teagger scolded, and suddenly said, "I heard that the Italians are ready to move and are not very peaceful, do you want Exxon Oil to help you?" ”

"No, thank you. Now our fleet is in the Atlantic, and in two days it will be in the Mediterranean, and the Italians will be good friends with us! "Handar. Brown snorted coldly, I want to fight the idea of Chevron oil, no way!

If it weren't for Situ Nan's feeling that the competition in the Middle East is too fierce, the investment efficiency is not as high as in other places, and he doesn't want to become the target of public criticism, and he doesn't want to give up the interests of the Middle East. Brown really wants to fight over Iraqi oil, otherwise it will be Exxon's turn?

Jean Handar. Brown was satisfied that the Italians were more knowledgeable, and the British and French, who were well-intentioned to help, were politely refused.

Unlike the Middle East, Libya is dominated by Chevron and Italian oil, and although it smells of gunpowder, both sides tacitly agree not to involve other competitors.

In Hantec. Browna hit a cold nail, Walter. Teagarh was a little stunned, turned his head and continued to entangle with the British.

According to the preliminary agreement, BP (35%) and Shell (10%) took nearly half of the shares, Exxon got 20%, Chevron got 15%, and Gulf and Dadal each got 10%.

But on the whole, it was another victory for the Yankees, who took the same share as the British, just as their fleet was as large as the size of the Royal Navy.

However, it is not so easy - (to be continued.) )
