Chapter Ninety-Four: Proper Means
"What the hell are these two people talking about..."
After looking at the scars on Caterina's face, little Rockefeller said with some curiosity.
As the heir of the Rockefeller family, Rockefeller Jr. has seen many beautiful women, some of whom are not even inferior to Elaine in appearance. However, he had never seen a woman as wild as Katarina, so although the contact time was not very long, her cold and bewitching appearance and wild temperament still left a deep impression on little Rockefeller, which also made him a little curious about what made Caterina so excited.
But when he heard Yan Shao's words, he was stunned.
"Did I hear it wrong?" Hearing Yan Shao say that another 10,000-ton well had been discovered, Rockefeller Jr. was a little skeptical that his ears had heard it wrong. So after a moment of silence, he said in a tone of disbelief. "Another 10,000-ton well was discovered?"
"That's right!" Yan Shao's expression was also a little strange, and it was correct to say that he couldn't cry or laugh.
You must know that in the past half a year, Odonis, who was in charge of looking for oil, failed to find a 10,000-ton well, so that even if Yan Shao firmly believed that there must be oil under Tampico's land, his heart became anxious.
Now it has only been more than a month since the discovery of Well No. 11 in Dospocas, and another 10,000-ton well has been discovered, and the output is at least half more than the previous one, which makes Yan Shao feel like 'you are playing me'...
Thinking about the past month or two, and then thinking about the present, Yan Shao's heart was a little crying and laughing.
But business is still important at the moment, so after a moment of silence. Yan Shao scratched his head and said to little Rockefeller. "Look, is it going to be a new agreement?"
This does not need to be said by Yan Shao, after the discovery of a new 10,000-ton well. The original agreement is clearly inapplicable.
Ten fingers crossed, and after closing his eyes and pondering for a while, Little Rockefeller opened his eyes and nodded at Yan Shao. "It's true that the original agreement doesn't apply to the current situation, Yan, you don't mind waiting a little longer, right?"
"Of course not..."Yan Shao shook his head with a smile. Although the situation of the textile factory is not very good, it is still no problem to hold out for a few more months..."Yan Shao does not believe that Rockefeller Jr. did not investigate himself before coming to China. So he didn't hide anything.
"That's good..."Relieved, after shaking hands with Yan Shao, little Rockefeller got up and walked towards the door. In that case, I'll get in touch with the U.S. side first. Let's see if we can work together in a different way..."
If Rockefeller Jr. was content with a general partnership, now he prefers to take a direct stake in the company, or to get the entire Petroleos Mexicanos.
Two 10,000-ton oil wells, an oil field of this size is rare even in the United States. What's more, no one knows if this will be just the beginning. "Maybe it's the kind I expected. The situation of the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth..."Thinking of this, little Rockefeller's face also showed a hint of impatience after walking out of the room.
If the original Dospocas No. 1 well only made Rockefeller Jr. want to get the land of Tampico, then the emergence of the new 10,000-ton well has made this idea even more urgent.
But before that, he still needs to discuss with the old Rockefeller in New York, after all, it is the old Rockefeller who can really call the shots of Standard Oil today, not him...
"Angelisβ" Walking out of the parlor, little Rockefeller called out to the assistant who was waiting outside.
Angelis was talking to a few other people. Seeing that little Rockefeller suddenly walked out, he hurriedly turned around and said. "What's the matter, sir?"
"You arrange a few people. Let's go to the telegraph office first..."Rockefeller Jr. looked back apologetically at Yan Shao, who came out with him. "Yan, wouldn't you mind sending someone to be our guide?" For Rockefeller Jr., Wuhu was a strange place, and with the language barrier, it was not easy to find the telegraph office without a guide.
Hearing Little Rockefeller's words, Yan Shao smiled, and then beckoned to the corner. "Huang Hao, come here!"
"Yes, boss!" Huang Hao, who was looking here, heard Yan Shao calling him, and hurriedly put down what he was doing and ran over.
When Huang Hao ran to the front and back, Yan Shao pointed and smiled at Little Rockefeller. "This guy is from the United States with me, and he is also a New Yorker, so it should be much more convenient for him to show you the way..." Mr. Rockefeller needs you to be your guide, don't point the wrong way..."
Huang Hao patted his chest and reassured. "Don't worry, boss..." He has been in Wuhu for almost a year, and although he does not dare to guarantee that he will be able to understand the whole of Wuhu, because of his work, he has been to the telegraph office no less than twenty or thirty times.
"Mr. Rockefeller, please go this way..."After assuring Yan Shao, Huang Hao made a gesture of invitation to little Rockefeller.
Hearing Huang Hao's fluent English, little Rockefeller's face also showed a smile. "Then I'm sorry for you..."
ββββββββββββββββββββ
After Huang Hao led Little Rockefeller and them away, Yan Shao shook his head, planning to go back to the living room to ask Caterina about the details of the oil well.
However, as soon as he turned around, he saw that Caterina had already walked out of the living room, and then said viciously to Yan Shao. "You remember what you just said."
After raising his hands and making a gesture of surrender, Yan Shao smiled and said. "I just remember that I was talking to someone about business..."
Hearing Yan Shao say this, Caterina snorted coldly, and then pinched the soft flesh on Yan Shao's waist and turned around fiercely, until Yan Shao bent down in pain before continuing. "How was the business going before I came..."
Holding the pinched position with his left hand, Yan Shao took Caterina's arm with his right hand and led her into the living room. "It's okay, it's a bit surprising, that guy didn't mention the acquisition of the company, but directly said that he wanted to buy crude oil at a price of 82 cents per barrel..."
I didn't know that it wouldn't be long before the Mexican government would propose to nationalize oil resources, Caterina took a sip of the teacup belonging to Yan Shao and said lightly. "Isn't that a good idea..."
Hearing Caterina say this, Yan Shao frowned.
He was well aware that both Elano and Caterina were opposed to selling the oil fields, and in their opinion, if they were in the United States or Mexico, it would be understandable to sell the oil fields, after all, money was less important than their own safety.
But now that they are in China, it is difficult for even a behemoth like Standard Oil to threaten them, so why sell the oil fields in this case?
Of course, if Yan Shao really wants to go his own way, they will not object, because the oil field belongs to Yan Shao, as long as Yan Shao does not take the money to spend time outside, they don't care what Yan Shao does with his property, all they want is a reason, a reason for Yan Shao to insist on doing so.
It's just that every time the two of them ask about it, Yan Shao will perfunctory them with various reasons, which also makes the two angry.
Sensing the anger hidden under Katarina's exterior, Yan Shao smiled bitterly. "Maybe it's better to tell them the reason..."Thinking of this, Yan Shao patted Katerina's beautiful legs under her long skirt. Go out and call Eleno in..."
Glancing at Yan Shao, Caterina got up and walked out of the living room and found Elanon, who was drinking tea outside. "Let's go, that guy is finally going to tell the truth..."
Hearing Caterina say this, the corners of Elanon's mouth curled slightly, forming a graceful arc, "Do you finally want to tell the truth?" said and got up from the sofa, walked into the living room side by side with Caterina, and then sat in front of Yan Shao like a judge, staring at him deadly, waiting for his confession.
"Please, I didn't commit any heinous crimes..."He smiled bitterly twice, and Yan Shao said his reason in the gaze of the two...... Do you think the Mexican government will really accept that its oil resources remain in the hands of foreigners?"
Just as Yan Shao was explaining his reasons to the two, Huang Hao also rushed to the telegraph office in Wuhu County with little Rockefeller. Through a telegram from the Telegraph Office, Rockefeller Jr. sent the information back to New York, asking his father what he should do now...
The old Rockefeller was very efficient, and it didn't take long for the little Rockefeller to receive a telegram from New York, and the content of the telegram was also very simple.
"Find a way to get the oil company out of that Chinese's hands..."
"It's short enough," Rockefeller Jr. smiled bitterly as he looked at the telegram in his hand. At the same time, I was also thinking about how to get the oil company.
Special means? I'm afraid this won't work, although Standard Oil also has a lot of people, but it is not easy to threaten a businessman with an army of more than 300 people, and according to the information he has obtained, Yan Shao has a close relationship with the local garrison.
If you count the patrol battalion of more than 1,000 people, Rockefeller Jr. needs at least one battalion of troops. Not to mention whether he can find so many people and fight a skirmish with a battalion of troops within the reach of the British and Chinese, he is not crazy yet...
"It seems that the only way to do this is to do the right thing," Rockefeller Jr. put away the telegram. The question is who will take out such a gold-spraying place and sell it..."Thinking of this, little Rockefeller had a headache.
