The journey starts from the Titanic

"Chevron Petroleum is a bit self-aware, and I welcome their pragmatic approach." John Cadman did not hide his thoughts. Previously, BP Petroleum's greatest enemy was Chevron. Now Chevron does not compete for Iraqi Petroleum Corporation's Equity, then Mobil or Exxon has become bp Oil's biggest competitor.

In particular, Chevron Oil Company is willing to sell the crude oil produced in the No. 1 oil field to the Iraqi Oil Company. In order to compete for the output of the No. 1 oil field, the alliance between bp Oil Company and Mobil (or Exxon) is a bit antagonistic.

As everyone knows, Exxon Oil Company has a strong desire for crude oil. Unlike Chevron and Occidental Petroleum, they produce enough crude oil to meet the needs of their own refineries without purchasing crude oil.

Similarly, bp oil company stands behind the British Royal Navy, and the Royal Navy also desires sufficient crude oil to ensure its invincible fleet.

Walter Teague and John Cadman had an unpleasant conversation, and they had long ago grievances.

Walter Tegel came to Rockefeller Manor and reported the situation to Rockefeller and his son.

"It's Chevron again! Damn, they are so lucky!" Little Rockefeller said jealously. He appreciated Situ Nan's transfer of part of the proceeds from the No. 1 Oilfield to the William Foundation.

"Cunning kid, he is invincible when he retreats. BP Petroleum Company is fighting with us, and we have to fight."

Old Rockefeller smiled and saw Situ Nan's mind at a glance.

As Little Rockefeller said, he also envied Situ Nan's luck.

Chevron Petroleum Company has succeeded in successive ventures in Libya and Iraq. Apart from luck, it can only be said that others are more adventurous than themselves!

And Rockefeller’s successful experience has never been to take risks to exploit oil, but to annex countless small and medium-sized oil companies based on capital and technological advantages and reap the benefits.

"Chevron will not be willing to sell crude oil cheaply. This gives us a chance."

Old Rockefeller squinted his eyes and smiled. He glanced at Walter Teague, and saw that he understood what he meant, and said with emotion, "You said that if we don’t generously buy all of their crude oil these years, Chevron Oil Can Occidental Petroleum develop to where it is today?

But if we buy their crude oil and make a lot of money, it will benefit us."

Old Rockefeller seemed to be talking to himself. Before the two of them could answer, he decided to say: "Chevron is our ally in the issue of marching into the Middle East. Use this to your advantage."

Leaving Rockefeller Manor, Walter Tegel already knew what to do!

He immediately called Henda Brown and fully exchanged views with Henda Brown. Chevron Petroleum supported the Rockefeller series of competing for shares in Iraqi Oil Company and was also willing to sell the excess production capacity to Exxon Oil Company, provided that The Rockefeller line supported Chevron Oil Company's expansion outside Iraq.

"This time we gave in too much! What a pity!" Hengda Brown came to the manor on the Hudson River and found Situ Nan, who was playing a father-daughter drama with Sharapova, unwilling to say it.

"It's kind of, but it's worth it. After all, we already have Libya and the No. 1 oil field, don't we? If we ask too much, it is estimated that they will all unite to deal with us!"

Situ Nan comforted him.

The Iraqi Petroleum Company has not yet been established, and the big giants are intrigues with each other.

Under the instigation of Andrew Mellon, the American Atlantic Fleet will visit Europe, and Italy is an important stop.

Similarly, the British Royal Navy is also ready to move, the local fleet sent a fleet to the Mediterranean and the Mediterranean fleet for joint training.

In a few days, it will be the days when several big tycoons gather for meetings at Rockefeller Manor to carve up Iraqi oil.

"Rather than fighting those guys over a few bones, it's better to jump out of it and focus on the wider Middle East." Situ Nan looked indifferent.

Hengda Brown looked at Situ Nan's self-confidence, and wanted to persuade Situ Nan not to give up oil in Iraq easily, but he didn't say anything in the end.

In 1927, when Christmas was approaching, Chevron bp Shell Exxon Mobil Bay and the hurried French Daddour reached an agreement at Rockefeller Estate to jointly establish an Iraqi Oil Company to collectively develop oil resources in Iraq.

Chapter 199 The Seven Sisters of Oil?

When meeting, the two sides did not immediately discuss the topic of petroleum, but exchanged the operating experience and cooperation of the charity foundation.

Old Rockefeller is older, his hair and beard are all gray, he is the kind of thin body, this is very similar to Andrew Mellon, that thin body does not look like an American to Stuart, but Americans are born fat.

"Boy, you have done a good job in the past few years, and you have the style of my past!" Old Rockefeller smiled at Situ Nan.

The conversation took place in the courtyard. Old Rockefeller was wearing a brown coat and sitting on a recliner. He was in good spirits. Seeing Situ Nan and Little Rockefeller approaching, he asked Situ Nan to sit down.

"John, you are my idol, I have been learning how you run the oil empire." Situ Nan said sincerely.

"Yeah. You learned well. I thought that my oil empire had reached its limit, and no oil merchant could surpass me, not even half of me. But the William system will catch up with the Rockefeller system, if the Gulf is added For the oil company, the William system is not inferior to the Rockefeller system. This is a miracle! You did it!"

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

This young man is amazing. He almost has the ability to turn stones into gold. He established a business empire when he was thirty years old, even better than he was in the past.

Although the two parties are competitors, Situ Nan respected Rockefeller in personal relationship, and Rockefeller also paid close attention to Situ Nan. Although the number of meetings was not many, it could be called a year-end friendship.

Situ Nan smiled and nodded to the compliments of old Rockefeller, without saying anything humble."Perhaps a few years later, the William system will be the Rockefeller system, but it will never be able to reach the grand occasion of the Standard Oil Empire. That is a myth! Therefore the crown of the oil industry empire will always belong to the Standard Oil Empire and its creator Rockefeller!"

Situ Nan praised sincerely.

"Perhaps you have to thank Theodore Roosevelt. He demolished my oil empire and let you seize the opportunity to rise."

Old Rockefeller smiled, with some regrets in his heart, but after so many years, he had already seen that even without Theodore Roosevelt, the Standard Oil Empire would have collapsed, only the length of time.

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

What the Rockefeller family needs now is to be successful, to keep the wealth, and to let more people become better because of the wealth of the Rockefeller family, so the Rockefeller Foundation has it.

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

"John, I heard that your current state is retiring and not resting?" Situ Nan asked with a smile, and looked at Old Rockefeller with concern, as if to say, can you hold it?

It is said that this elderly man still working hours a day is really the best portrayal of this capitalist's hard working life!I thought 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 the reign, there will be a sense of loss after retirement.If there is no open-minded state of mind, it will soon collapse.

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

Old Rockefeller smiled and nodded. Seeing that Situ Nan was a little moved, he said again, "The main time is to spend time with his grandson and take care of personal finances by the way. The oil company doesn't care much about it. Little John doesn't seem to be very concerned about the oil company's business. Interested, it is estimated that in a few years, the Rockefeller family will slowly fade out of the oil company."

Little Rockefeller smiled and nodded: "If it weren't for this important event, and our two families had run into each other, I wouldn't want to hold an oil meeting at home and affect the peace of the house. Of course, Walter Tiegel did a good job."

Situ Nan didn't know whether this was true or not. As long as Old Rockefeller did not die for a day, he could not take it lightly.

Rest assured that the old Rockefeller is already old, and he is not as aggressive as he was in the past. There is no need to worry about him and the Rockefeller family carrying out "brute force blasting" on themselves.

As for commercial competition, Situ Nan can accept whether he wins or loses.Well, he is a little afraid of death, because there are too many plans that have not yet been realized.

It was not long after watching Old Rockefeller. Old Rockefeller sent Situ Nan away on the grounds that he was tired.

"I heard that you are going to build a skyscraper?" Back in the living room, Little Rockefeller asked Situ Nandao.

The news spread so quickly that even Rockefeller knew it?

Situ Nan said: "This is Walter's idea! He wants to build a skyscraper to show his car empire! Well, I was also persuaded! Now the happiest one is probably the Mayor of New York!"

After speaking, Situ Nan raised his head and smiled and glanced at Little Rockefeller: "What? The Rockefeller family is also about to move?"

Little Rockefeller smiled and shook his head: "It's not me, it's General Motors. Someone is stimulated and wants to start the skyscraper project, so they seek financing from the oil company.
