164 The Temptation of Oil continued

A powerful person uniting the United States? If it weren't for the fact that the other side is begging for himself now, don't imagine that these greedy descendants can think of any powerful people in the United States?

But Frink listened to it in his heart, and instead believed most of it

Oil

The swarthy flowing gold

What a mouth-watering thing

It is precisely by virtue of its advantages in oil field exploration and development that Western Petroleum has been able to rise like a comet. If it were other oil companies, Frink might have muttered a little in his heart, but when it came to Occidental Petroleum to develop oil fields, he thought it was reliable

He has been paying attention to this for a long time in the American oil industry, who doesn't know the strong oil field exploration and development strength of the Western Petroleum Company, but in the past two years, the Western Petroleum Company has been nesting in California and Texas to enjoy the fruits of victory, and there is no action, which makes those oil companies who want to follow the trend behind them a little disappointed.

Frink was not an oil man, but he knew many, many oil merchants, and he knew that there was a joke in the oil industry -- the development of the West, the sale of Mobil

This means that once the Western Petroleum Company explores a large oil field, other oil companies will also follow, and Mobil controls these small and medium-sized oil companies behind the scenes, using various means to take advantage of Mobil's strong advantages in oil smelting and sales, and Tongguò's strong capital to slowly invest in these companies, so as to achieve the purpose of controlling the oil.

"That's great, I have a lot of connections in Latin America, I've been ambassadors to several countries, I've been to Guatemala, I've met a lot of foreign dignitaries and generals.

It's no exaggeration to say that if I wanted that piece of land, there were few that I couldn't get it," Frink said confidently. The implication is that buddy, remember to bring me with you to open oil, and I promise to make you get twice the result with half the effort.

Robles smiled, and he knew that as soon as he took out the oil to tempt, few people could resist its charm.

"Husband Frink, someone from Houston's Energy Bank will talk to you about the specific oil cooperation. Occidental Petroleum is planning to set up a branch overseas, and we at Robles Securities will also provide financing services, but we will definitely not leave you behind. ”

Robles said.

In fact, Robles doesn't know where the so-called oil field is, and the oil company has always been Hantec? Brown is managing. It is only when it comes to heavy investment projects that a representative of Robles Securities appears on the board of directors of Occidental Petroleum.

He didn't let Frink's plane either, and Occidental Petroleum had indeed begun to develop Latin American oil, as the telegram from the Wilhelm said.

Occidental Petroleum executive Guedas has quietly arrived in Panama today to take up the role of general manager of a new company. The Panamanian oil company, registered in Panama, is entirely American-based, and its shareholders are Houston's Energy Bank (35), Robles Securities (10), Occidental Petroleum (8), Gulf Oil (7), and Huamei Fund (5), and the rest is divided between William's henders, such as Stuart, Handa, Robles, Guddars, and Pratt.

This became a tradition for the Occidental Petroleum Company to set up an oil development company with the capital of Situ Nan and other individuals, and if it succeeded, the new company would be merged into the Occidental Petroleum Company, so that the fertilizer would not flow to outsiders.

While Robles and Frink were negotiating, a freighter departed from Houston carrying oil exploration equipment and Occidental Petroleum's most capable technical force, a team of more than 30 engineers led by Pratt, the company's chief technologist and director of the Pratt Petroleum Institute, was on its way to Panama.

After meeting up with the Panamanian oil company, they will travel to their destination, Venezuela, under the protection of security guards from the security consultancy company

"In addition to oil, there are many things we can work on together. For example, our Stoney Foods company is interested in expanding the plantation economy in Latin America, and we can cooperate with coffee, fruit, etc.

And rubber, I don't know if Flyck's husband, your American rubber company is interested in developing a rubber business with us in Southeast Asia? ”

Robles kept saying one cooperation plan after another, from oil and steel to rubber and fruit, which made Flink a little dizzy and dazzled.

God, these young people's hearts are so wild, he has some emotion in his heart, but after all, it is the adventurous and decisive Frink, in addition to a little emotion, he is more excited.

The thought of making money, despite being almost sixty years old, Fly's ** is as strong as peeking at a female neighbor in the shower and changing clothes when he was 13 years old, and he can't wait and can't be suppressed.

Of course, these are all investment intentions that need to be evaluated by professionals before they can be implemented, but two things are certain: cooperation in the oil industry in Latin America and cooperation with fruit companies that Robles insisted on.

Stuart finally agreed to Flink's participation in Panama Oil and the transfer of 6.5% of Houston Energy Bank to Frink. That's a small percentage for Wall Street's trust magnate Flink, but he can only accept that in a Western oil-led company.

Situ Nan knew that he was unwilling, so he proposed to form an oil company in the Dutch-Indian colony. This made Frink hesitate, after all, he was not familiar with the Dutch and Indian places

However, after Situ Nan revealed that he had found a partnership with Gulf Oil and formed a tacit alliance with Mobil Oil, the #adventurous Flink finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind to join it, and the three of them together divided all the shares of Sumatran Oil Company.

Frink finally took a crucial step in his oil career, and in fact, despite some twists and turns, they eventually succeeded.

If it weren't true, Situan's new shell oil companies, the Panama Oil Company and the Sumatra Oil Company, made $3 million from the transfer of shares to Frink. However, it was not long before oil was actually produced, and that small amount of millions of dollars was nothing compared to the abundant oil fields.

Fortunately, Situ Nan didn't like these, he just wanted to draw more people like Frink to become his allies.

In Latin America in particular, Frink played a pivotal role in the William Consortium's tour of Venezuela. Even with the legacy of Frink's former U.S. ambassador to Chile, Stuart South later succeeded in infiltrating the intellectual mines.

Compared to the oil business, the business of the calculation watchmaking company is a little insignificant. However, the shrewd Flink still firmly grasped the power of the company, and this time Robles did not make too many demands on the shares, and made big concessions in terms of price.

After a round of share expansion, Robles Securities invested US$3.2 million in the shares of the Computing and Watchmaking Company and successfully entered the board of directors of the Computing and Watchmaking Company.

Charles? Frink's stake was slightly lowered, but he was still the majority shareholder of the company, holding more than a stake, of course, the best news was that due to the lack of optimism about the prospects of the calculation and watchmaking company, the Morgan consortium's original symbolic 8 shares were sold to Robles, which can be regarded as a big burden.

Of course, only a foresight like Situ Nan would secretly snicker, this deal in Robles's opinion is a bit more than worth the loss, although it is not to say how much it is lost, but the money invested elsewhere will play a greater role.

He didn't know that Situ Nan was completely directed at Thomas? Watson went to invest not so much in a computing watchmaking company as in Thomas? Watson

A few days after the deal was concluded, at a meeting of the board of directors, the watchmaking company made an important personnel appointment and dismissal - the former sales manager, Thomas ? Watson Management will become the company's president

"Thomas, from today onwards, you have the final say in everything in the company, and no one will embarrass you anymore" Frink encouraged Thomas? Watson said, "At the same time, the company will provide an annual salary of $30,000, plus a profit commission of 5 to give you a good plan, there will be equity incentives." ”

"Husband, what is this?" Thomas? Watson was stunned by the news, and he was a little hesitant about the sudden arrival of great news.

Since joining this company, he has been aggrieved like a little daughter-in-law, except for Fly, the two major companies of the company have been trying their best to exclude themselves, one of them is the founder of the original international time recording company, U.S. Congressman George? Fairchild, the founder of the chief engineer tabulator qì company and known as the "father of the number jù processing", Herman? Horreth.

Whichever one is the uncle, is it Thomas? Watson can't be offended, even Frink has to give them both face.

Thomas? Watson didn't expect that now the company's equity changes, he would come and go, and become the master of this company, can't his ideas be realized?

Thinking of this, this is a man in his forties, his eyes moistened, and he doesn't know whether he is grateful to God in the dark for making him believe that he can achieve a career, or grateful to the old man in front of him who has the grace of knowing him, but there will definitely be no Situ Nan.

Even if he insisted on making Thomas behind his back? Watson is in charge of the company and has made considerable concessions in the negotiations. Of course, these cunning Frink won't sue Thomas? Watson's, until years later, during a small talk, Thomas? Watson only learned from Robles' mouth.

The new Thomas? Watson began to make drastic adjustments to the business structure of the calculation and watchmaking company, eliminating the original weighbridge and balance measurement products, and the clock production of the original time recording company also developed in the direction of automatic office such as time attendance.

Of course, there is also a huge investment in the research and development and production of more advanced punches, typewriters and other commercial machines. The war gave the Computing Watch Company a rare opportunity, and by mid-1918 it had finally turned a profit under his leadership.

After the war, with the prestige of leading the company from the brink of bankruptcy to a company with the advanced level of the industry, Thomas? Watson finally let out a sigh of relief. In 1918, he renamed the company the International Business Machine, or IBM!
