The journey starts from the Titanic

Situ South Road.

"10,000 tons?" Andrew Mellon smiled and said, "This is a big number. Is two years enough? Are you so confident?"

"I believe that there are rich oil resources there. It can be said that it is our "Venezuela" in North Africa.

Only if investment can keep up, higher production capacity is not impossible.Chevron Petroleum Company has done a lot of work in Libya in recent years, inspecting the local conditions and building facilities such as terminal oil depots.

If it goes well, our plan has been implemented 5 years later.It was a huge project, and there were a lot of people to hire!"

Situ Nan smiled.

"Rely on those Chinese workers?" Andrew Mellon said nonchalantly, with no expression on his face.

"Of course, they are cheap and good-quality workers. I don't worry about entrusting the project to them. Their ability has been tested in history. They helped the United States build the Great Western Railway back then, did they?"

Situ Nandao had a faint smile on his face, but his eyes were firm.

Andrew Mellon's mention of Chinese workers may have something else. It somewhat alludes to the infiltration of Chinese forces in Africa in recent years, but Situ Nan insists that there is nothing concealed about this.

Even if Gulf Oil or Mobil Petroleum develops overseas, is it possible that they will be willing to hire American workers of more than US$5 from Nisshin at home?

The labor cost is several times different.

Andrew Mellon felt a little faint thorn in Situ Nan’s words. He smiled indifferently. Now that Situ Nan thinks Libya's oil resources can be compared with Venezuela, Chevron Petroleum is now full of confidence. To ambitiously expand investment in Libya, he should also strongly support it.

"This is a piece of fat, or make the plan more thorough." Andrew Mellon pointed out.

Situ Nan nodded: "Of course, the biggest problem now is Italy. The guy Mussolini is very talented. I'm afraid that he will do something hot-headed after listening to the stupid suggestions of the following people. So I hope Strong support from the White House."

"It is necessary to prevent Italians from getting hot-headed, what kind of support do you want?" Andrew Mellon asked with a smile.

The guy Situ Nan mentioned Mussolini, he knows, and he recognizes Situ Nan’s evaluation of his great talents. After he came to power, he did a lot of things, but more energy was spent on image engineering, and he did it. Not bad, so many people can be deceived.

As for the strength of the Italians, especially the industrial output, it is really not that great. Otherwise, how could so many Italians come to the United States every year?!

Hearing that Situ Nan was preparing to deal with the Italians, Andrew Mellon didn't think much.

Immediately surprised by Situ Nan's next words, Situ Nan said: "I need a guarantee to use the Atlantic Fleet when necessary!"

"What? You want to use the navy fleet?" Andrew Mellon was not calm, his body stood up involuntarily, and he looked at Situ Nan with a serious face.

"It's just a guarantee. Is it necessary to be so nervous?" Situ Nan said lightly, thinking: "Hawaiian Pacific Fleet's ship fuel supplies, and even military expenses, are part of the William Consortium? Use the navy. What about the fleet?"

"This matter is too big, I can't give such a guarantee." Andrew Mellon said, shaking his head.

"Of course, I'm only talking about the worst-case scenario. After all, North Africa is a European territory. They have been in business for hundreds of years. I don't believe they will be willing to abide by the rules and do business with us in a friendly way?

Whether it is Chevron Petroleum or Gulf Oil Mobil Petroleum, the oil companies operating in Mexico, Venezuela, Brazil, Southeast Asia, have reliable military guarantees to succeed.

My requirements are not high, I only need Washington to come forward to guarantee our legal rights."

Situ Nandao, after finishing speaking, glanced firmly at Andrew Mellon.

Andrew Mellon's complexion eased. Just now he thought Situ Nan was going to do it recklessly. This kid was still a little measured.

"In short, this is a big deal, don't be impulsive, let me think about it." Andrew Mellon persuaded.

"I don’t think there is anything to worry about if there is a reasonable guarantee. The United States is the world’s largest naval power and ranks alongside the British Royal Navy. If it can allow domestic companies to be treated unfairly abroad, I don’t think they still have The necessity of existence."

Situ Nan sneered.

At this time, he finally had the consciousness of a big capitalist.The U.S. army is indeed a second-rate, but the navy is different. It is clearly the world's number one. How can I be a fraction of the boss of the U.S. Emperor? If I have a chance, I don’t need to use it.

Especially when the opponent was still Italy, Situ Nan really didn't care much.

Situ Nan understands Andrew Mellon's concerns. Doesn't it mean that if you set up a fleet just because of you, Chevron Oil, you are afraid of people's gossip?What is so stupid about private use of public equipment?Pulling Gulf Oil and Mobil Petroleum to work together, and then looking for a loan from Morgan Commercial Bank, and pulling him into the chariot, isn't it justified?

Obviously, Andrew Mellon had the same plan. He just waited for himself to speak. Once he spoke, Chevron Oil's interests in Libya would have to give them a portion.

Sharing the spoils is nothing bad, and there is nothing good. Situ Nan didn't want to make these people cheap.

He thought about it, and then said to Andrew Mellon: "It can be expected that American oil companies and European oil companies will have a contest in order to compete for Libya's oil.

Libya is just the beginning of the battle, and Chevron Oil is only one of them. If we back down this time, then don’t even think about entering the Middle East. The Middle East’s oil gate will be closed to American companies, while Europe can be unrestricted. Our surroundings unscrupulously snatched our oil.

Mexico, Canada, Venezuela, and the mainland of the United States, they have blocked us at home, and we can’t explore oil on their turf. This is not in line with God’s will or the principle of open door."

Situ Nan said angrily, at least he looked angry.

"Good fellow, even God moved out. If his old man knew that you arranged him like this, he would definitely not let you off as a heretic."

Andrew Mellon watched Stuart’s performance with some amusement. Western oil companies or William oil companies have the most abundant crude oil reserves. It is worth worrying about Europeans grabbing oil resources in and around the United States. It is said that the Europeans have the greatest opinion It's Rockefeller and its own Gulf Oil!

Especially Rockefeller’s Exxon Petroleum Company, they have done the most in petroleum refining and their desire for new oil sources far exceeds other companies.

Since Situ Nan did not directly propose to give up Libya's oil interests in exchange for the support of his American counterparts, but mentioned that the overseas investment of American oil has been hindered by Europeans, Andrew Mellon has generally understood what Situ Nan meant.

Or I can make a little profit, but don't forget, to support Chevron Oil is to support yourself. Don't think that Chevron Oil will pay for the common interests of the big guys alone.

Although Andrew Mellon doesn’t care much about Gulf Oil’s business, he is also aware of Gulf Oil’s strategy to enter the Middle East, and the trivial information from Laura shows that the boy Stuart was in the Middle East in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia a few years ago. Purchase a large amount of land in other places.

At the same time, a large number of his so-called compatriots were immigrated to the Middle East to do business and construction. Basically, those projects could not make money or even lose money, but they have never heard of it, and the scale is getting bigger and bigger, obviously because of him. A certain purpose is in the layout.

Let’s talk about the Libyan oil this time. Everyone digested Chevron’s stupidly burning money in the Libyan desert. The oil fields were not found, and the related infrastructure was built up quickly.

Although the scale is not large, interested people have discovered that once they produce oil, the subsequent oilfield development speed will be astonishing after the foundation has been laid for the preliminary project.

Chevron Petroleum Occidental Petroleum Company achieved transcendence development in this way.

Imagine that in a piece of land, no one knows whether there is oil or not. Situ Nan and the others directly bought a whole piece of land, and then built the wharf and pipeline. The magic is that they often drove the oil in the risky place. .

Even if someone is behind them and invests near the land they chose, facing Situ Nan, they have built pipeline terminals and other facilities, even if they produce crude oil, selling crude oil to them is better than making things difficult for them, right?

what?Don't you sell?

Okay, Situ Nan and their pipelines, roads and docks are not for you, and you are not allowed to pass on their land. You can carry barrels of crude oil thousands of miles away to sell it. !

In the final calculation, the cost is higher.

Chapter 196 Energy Throne

Andrew Mellon asked with a smile.

Once you discover an oil field, there is basically no share of others. You seem to be foresight and have been prepared long ago.

"Haha! I always think that our geological exploration team is the best in the world, and this is true. When others are still relying on luck to find oil, we have used geophysical techniques such as gravity, magnetic earthquakes and so on.

In the eyes of others, it is impossible, but in our eyes, it is possible to succeed."
