Chapter 224: The Iron Curtain
Office of Globe Inc., New York, USA.
"Boss, you finally remembered that there was another company in New York, right?"
Miss Ophelia Berg complained to Fang Lang.
Fang Lang is still quite tolerant of himself, a beautiful assistant who resembles Nicole Kidman, maybe this is the privilege of a beauty!
Fang Lang shook his head with a smile, patted the sofa beside him and motioned for the other party to sit down, and said:
"Okay, didn't I take you with me to Europe?
Work is more important than play! What happened to the Ridgefield Petroleum Exploration Company acquisition?"
Ophelia Berg saw the boss's gesture, hesitated for a moment, and then chose to sit obediently next to the boss.
He took out a copy of the thick pile of documents in his hand and handed it to Fang Lang, and said with a speechless expression:
"Boss, don't you even read the reports I sent in the past?
The acquisition of Ridgefield Petroleum Exploration has long since ended.
But now the company is not doing well, and the original general manager, Mr. Reyer, has been staying in New York and wants to meet with you."
Fang Lang took the document handed over by Miss Ophelia Berg and flipped through it casually, as if he hadn't noticed Miss Ophelia Berg's hesitant expression.
"Oh! Do you have any information about this Mr. Reyer? You said that the current situation of this company is not good, what is wrong with it?"
Watching the young boss flip through the materials, the sunlight outside the window shone on the boss's face and the materials, as if the whole person was beginning to shine, and Miss Ophelia Berg was a little distracted for a moment.
The more familiar she was with the business of the Universal Group, the more Miss Ophelia Berg knew how good the man in front of her was.
Think about how much time it took to start from scratch and how big it has grown.
It's no wonder that the Morgan family in the United States wants to make friends with their bosses.
"Boss, you have the information of this Mr. Reyer, and as far as I know, this Mr. Reyes is an employee who started a business with old Mr. Richfield.
The prestige of the company was very high, and it had been maintained by Mr. Ridgefield Sr. since his death.
I've heard that Mr. Morgan has offered him an invitation to work at Morgan Stanley.
However, it was rejected by Mr. Reyer.
As for the company's biggest problem right now, in fact, it has invested all its money in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, and as a result, the place has so far been nothing.
Eventually, all of the company's liquidity was filled in, which is why the company would be a high-risk company.
I've seen the company's profile, and in fact, its Texas wells are still producing crude oil, and as long as it can pay off its debt, it will abandon its exploration project in Alaska.
The company still has a chance to go strong."
Hearing Miss Ophelia Berg say that Mr. Morgan had recruited Mr. Reyer, this made Fang Lang's eyes light up, and he couldn't help but take out Mr. Reyer's information and read it carefully.
It's a pity that, judging from the information, this general manager of Reyer, has been working in this company and does not have a particularly outstanding resume.
Fang Lang couldn't see from this information where Reyer was so good.
It seems that it is necessary to meet the general manager of Reyer.
Unexpectedly, Miss Ophelia Berg would suggest that he abandon the oil exploration project in Prudhoe Bay, Fang Lang couldn't help but smile and didn't say anything.
It should also be seen from this that many people in the outside world should now have the same opinion as Miss Ophelia Berg.
Although Fang Lang did not know whether this oil field was finally discovered by Ridgefield, he was very sure that Prudhoe Bay was a large oil field that has been proven by history.
I went for this project of his, how could I give up?
"You make an appointment for me
Let's take a look at Mr. Morgan and see if he's free tonight and have a meal together.
Since this Reye is in New York, you should inform him to come to the company at two o'clock this afternoon to see me."
Miss Ophelia Berg heard Fang Lang's command and nodded in understanding.
got up and put the pile of materials in his hand on the big desk in the office, and said to Fang Lang:
"Okay, then I'll go make an appointment with Mr. Morgan's assistant and inform Mr. Reyes now.
Here are some of the documents that need your signature from the subsidiaries of the Global Group in recent times.
You can take the time to review it."
Fang Lang felt a little headache when he saw Miss Ophelia Berg standing at the desk, pointing to a thick pile of documents.
Fortunately, the girl's graceful posture easily attracted Fang Lang's attention.
Let his headache be relieved to a certain extent, it seems that later studies have shown that beautiful women can make people feel happy, which is indeed very reasonable.
Looking at Fang Lang, he suddenly remembered that his girlfriend Lilith hadn't seen him for a long time, no wonder his concentration had been so bad recently.
As soon as a little girl dangled in front of him, he seemed to be a little uncontrollable.
This is not good, and after thinking about it, he said:
"Miss Ophelia Berg, after the call, please go to the Radcliffe College of Medicine in Boston and help me pick up my girlfriend."
"Ah! I'm going to pick up your girlfriend for you?"
The assistant lady obviously didn't expect that Fang Lang would suddenly assign such a task.
Last time he had dinner with Mr. Morgan, Fang Lang had generously admitted that he had a girlfriend.
It's just that I didn't expect to let myself pick up his girlfriend today, and I don't know why Ophelia Berg suddenly felt uncomfortable for no reason.
He himself didn't know what kind of mentality he was having, and he wanted to see what the other party was like.
I don't want to see each other.
This ambivalence made her have mixed feelings for a while.
Fang Lang saw the other party's constantly changing face, and secretly said in his heart that there was really a lot of inner drama in women.
"Why are you afraid that my girlfriend will bully you! Rest assured!
She has a good personality, do you know that you have to take care of her as an older sister?"
Hearing Fang Lang actually say that he was his girlfriend's sister, doesn't this mean that he is old?
Where did women suffer from this, especially Ophelia Berg was very confident in her beauty.
Now I hear that I am being reflected as old, and I am directly tickled by the angry teeth.
Stomp Foot:
"Just take it, I want to see how beautiful your girlfriend is."
Fang Lang saw the other party's arrogant little expression, and smiled:
"I'll tell you, my girlfriend is as beautiful as you!"
When Miss Ophelia Berg heard this, she thought that Fang Lang was saying that her girlfriend was prettier than her, and she suddenly felt a little unhappy in her heart.
She was very confident in her appearance, and she really didn't believe that someone was more beautiful than her.
But take a closer look, no! This is said to be that my girlfriend is as beautiful as myself!
Isn't this just complimenting yourself for being beautiful?
It's much easier to hear in your ears!
I don't know why, I was still a little happy in my heart, and my little face was a little hot.
I was also a little curious about whether the boss's girlfriend was really beautiful.
I cleared my throat and relieved my emotions before pretending that nothing had happened:
"Oh! Okay, what's your girlfriend's name! Do you have her phone?"
Fang Lang didn't know what the little girl was thinking, and he didn't care too much.
In terms of emotional matters, Fang Lang's principle has always been to pay attention to fate, not to force it, and not to refuse.
According to the standards of later generations, it is a proper scumbag attribute, which is also the same as him
's status as a seafarer, and he didn't have a family in his previous life.
After all, as a seafarer, he spends most of the year floating on the sea, and if he gets married, he has no time to accompany his wife, so she will definitely not want to be widowed with her.
If you don't stay alive and widowed, you will definitely have to wear a hat.
The colleagues around him more or less passed these views to him, so that he never had a stable relationship.
On the contrary, he experienced the customs of various countries around the world, and often had some physical conflicts with girls from all over the world.
Let him always maintain a natural attitude towards women, and even sometimes habitually expose the debauchery nature of later generations.
Fortunately, my identity is different in this life, and I don't have to wander with the boat anymore.
Therefore, he still cherishes Miss Lilith very much, and of course, Vivien is also very good.
Unfortunately, Vivien is now studying fashion in France, and she doesn't have time to visit each other in France.
"His name is Lilith Cockburn, and he's an Italian girl studying medicine at Radcliffe College.
I'll call her, and I'll leave him with you later."
After saying that, he found a pen and paper on his desk and wrote the phone number of Lilith's school to Assistant Ophelia Berg.
Ophelia Berg glanced at the phone number handed over by Fang Lang, didn't say anything to Fang Lang, and left Fang Lang's office without looking back.
For the impolite behavior of his little assistant, Fang Lang didn't care.
Shift your position to your desk and start working on the backlog of documents in earnest.
Through these documents that need to be signed and reviewed by Fang Lang, Fang Lang soon has a clear understanding of the company's development.
Since the establishment of the Shata Trading Company by establishing ties with the military, Global Trade's position in the business world has changed significantly.
It won the purchase orders of many European countries by bidding, among which Britain and France, the allies, had the largest number of orders, after all, the allies, as the victorious countries, did not need to be sanctioned.
The speed of economic recovery is also very fast, for daily necessities such as grain, oil, cloth, salt and condiments.
and steel, cement and other infrastructure materials are in huge demand.
For a while, global trade made a lot of money, and to Fang Lang's surprise, there were orders from the Soviet Union.
However, the Soviet Union ordered mainly some machinery and equipment.
It seems that the harvest of the USSR in Germany did not fill the stomach!
Immediately after that, Fang Lang calculated the time, and couldn't help but be stunned, it was already April 1946.
In other words, former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill has already delivered the famous "Iron Curtain Speech" in the United States.
In this way, it seems that the prelude to the Cold War is about to begin!
It seems that it is necessary to hurry up and complete the orders with the Soviet Union, otherwise when the Cold War is beginning, if these orders are not completed, it will be dangerous to smash them in your hands.
The identity of his previous life was destined for his attitude towards the Soviet Union.
Although I don't like it much, I definitely don't like it like the Yankees.
It's not much love because the other side split Mongolia and fought again on Sakhalin.
It's very simple to say that you don't feel disgusted, without the assistance of Big Brother, there is no way to let your hometown have a complete industrial system later.
Of course, these things are not given by the other party for free, and the hometown is also tightened and replaced.
