Chapter 480 Base! Base!
Charlie laughed and said, "Dear Nick, you are really joking. We are businessmen!" Of course, we will do what is the most profitable? Of course, our consideration is not as complicated as your political thinking, don't you think so?
Nick's eyes relaxed. Speaking of which, as a veteran politician, it is naturally his purpose to maximize his benefits.
Charlie's last words finally dispelled the doubts in his heart. Yes, whether it was Charlie, the imperial baron or the young Chinese beside him, relied on the glory of the empire to earn the profit space created for them by the empire.
As long as the empire can always maintain a strong influence in this wild place, no matter how much money they are, they will never be able to compete with the empire with a strong state machine!
"Okay, that's good! Charlie, I was convinced by you!" Nick slapped his palms and laughed, "Then let's make a deal. I'll give you the first oil bidding in Brunei. Of course, Charlie, how you and Mr. Chen coordinate the financial relationship between you is your business. First of all, I wish you a victory in the future oil exploration!"
Charlie was overjoyed. After smiling with Chen Jiaju, he stood up and clenched Nick's hands and said, "Thank you, dear Nick. With a good friend like you, I believe that we will cooperate well and let the damn bureaucrats of the empire know that there are more people in the world than their ability!"
Nick, who was flattered by Charlie, was also very excited: "Charlie, this is exactly what I want to say to you. Let's do a good job that will amaze the world!"
Chen Jiaju stood up and smiled and said, "I can get Mr. Nick's support today. On behalf of the Chen Group, I would like to express my great thanks to Mr. Nick!" If Mr. Nick doesn't give up, I'll have a good dinner with you tonight. What does Mr. Nick think?
Charlie knocked on the drum and laughed, "Ha ha, Nick, you really have to go to this banquet tonight. This is their Chinese tradition. Whenever there is a big happy event or an important thing to solve, it is to have a banquet to celebrate.
Nick naturally listened with joy, but he raised his eyebrows and remembered something and said, "Charlie, Chen, I have to remind you that although I agree to determine the success of your bidding, you still have to face the existence of competitors, and you will be responsible for them."
Charlie looked at Chen Jiaju again and smiled and said, "Dear Nick, you can rest assured about this problem. Maybe by tomorrow, our so-called competitors will automatically be out. We won't add trouble to our friends anyway!"
Nick completely put down his worries. Naturally, he was extremely relaxed that a big stone that had been pressing on his heart for a long time could be solved in this way.
"Oi, then I'll wait for Charlie's good news!" Nick raised the coffee in his hand happily, made a cheers move, and drank it down.
Charlie and Chen Jiaju also toasted. From their shining excitement, we can know how excited they are to take Nick like this. Think about it, oil is such a greedy killer of getting rich. Among other things, the rise of how many large consortia in the United States is not related to this black gold.
Charlie has been thinking about Meimei that this may be a great opportunity to really change his fate. With the existence of such a large oil field, even if his shares only account for a small part, the aura surrounding him is more dazzling than now. Too many!
Ha ha, the Imperial Baron is a title that is respected by the world, but what if he can be promoted to the Earl of the Empire?
Chen Jiaju thinks further. With such an oil field, his career can really step into the threshold of industrialization. Being able to control such an oil field with huge reserves can sit firmly on the fishing platform in the face of the future energy crises one after another. Of course, if you can control more oil fields, it will naturally be the best!
Sandakan
After almost two years, Chen Jiaju once again arrived at this place where his strategic position is quite important.
The problem of oil bidding in Brunei has been solved in November of the solar calendar. Under the open and secret operation of Charlie and Chen Jiaju, the countries and enterprises that have the strength to compete with them have been resolved one by one.
Exxon Oil Company in the United States is the easiest to send. With Hill, a newly reversed guy, Exxon, which was originally just a virtual shake, naturally got the result it wanted and went home.
As for Hill, the unlucky guy in the eyes of his boss was naturally dismissed immediately. In the face of such a result, Hill, who had been prepared for a long time, couldn't help sighing.
As for those unlucky Japanese, they are typical of stealing chickens and rice. They have such a big handle held in the hands of their competitors, how dare they be a little crazy.
Originally, the Japanese's reputation was famous for sneaking on the British-funded company's shipping company. If the news of their sneak attack on the Americans came out in this British territory, I'm afraid that the whole dwarf winter melon who came to participate in this oil bidding was absolutely not the first except for collective self-off. Two ways to go!
I can't say that the mute has the bitterness of eating yellow. I'm afraid it's the most appropriate voice in the heart of these short winter melons!
Chen Jiaju left the relevant financial personnel of the group company in his entourage to temporarily carry out preliminary preparations with Hill. After a few days of emotional contact with Nick and Charlie, who were all overjoyed, Chen Jiaju finally embarked on the direction of patrolling Sandakan.
For Chen Jiaju, he is looking forward to the development of Sandakan. For the whole of North Borneo, Kuching, Brunei and Sandakan are the three key development areas he has made every effort to create.
Needless to say, Kuching has always been the base for Chen Jiaju's key development. After several years of development, it has fully developed into a famous shipping hub in Nanyang, a tourist resort, and the industrial park of Chen's Group is resounding in Nanyang. Judging from Chen Jiaju's current layout, Kuching will definitely become the focus of his career, whether now or in the future.
Brunei, a place that is not even as good as Sandakan in the eyes of ordinary people, would certainly not make Chen Jiaju so laborious if oil had not been found. But now with the existence of strategic resources that are extremely important even for future generations, Brunei's status has increased significantly.
Chen Jiaju has considered that Brunei's oil development must be developed on a low-key and small scale, and the work related to oil development must be accompanied by supporting armed forces to protect their own security in a timely manner.
