Chapter 114 Trading Next

There are more than a dozen luxury cars parked outside a village clubhouse in the suburbs of Washington. The customers in rural clubs like Washington, D.C. are usually only those politicians in the city, and this rural clubhouse, which is forbidden for outsiders, is precisely the property of the Rockefeller family. Perhaps the president is constantly trying to crack down on Rockefeller. The Le family, but this also prevented Lockfield's many "supporters" in the Senate and the House of Representatives from coming to the country clubhouse to relax and relax at night.

"If you have enough wealth, even if it is treason, it will not be a crime!"

This is the case for the Rockefeller family. The Rockefeller family, which has enough wealth, has a large number of "supporters" in the Senate and the House of Representatives. Maybe the president's attack will cause trouble, but it still does not prevent those senators who need the support of the Rockefeller family from continuing to maintain their relationship with the Rockefeller family. After all, "the Mingzhu Party belongs to the Morgan family, and the Republican Party belongs to the Rockefeller family." This sentence will not have any impact on them because of the president's blow.

In the smoking room and bar on the first floor of the clubhouse, the smoke of cigars permeated. From time to time, there was a crisp sound of a goblet in people's talk and laughter. The beautiful and charming blonde and brunette girls in skirts swam among the people, and the wanton laughter and the laughter of ** interscrossed.

Anyone who comes here will be surprised to find that it is almost like a court, and most of the unruly men are politicians on Capitol Hill. As for the women, most of them are well-known celebrities in Washington. At this time, whether they are sanctimonial politicians or dignified social celebrities, they have fully revealed themselves. The least known side.

Occasionally, from time to time, a man walks up the room with a wooden ladder with a woman in his hand. As for what will happen in the room... Well, listen to the seductive sound of the corridor that makes the man's heart rippling, you can imagine that in the main hall at the westernmost part of the second floor, two young people are shaking the power in the cup. Shiji wine, no one said anything, just looking at each other, as if waiting for each other's loosening.

The smiling little Rockefeller, the only heir of the Rockefeller family, looked directly at Zhang Hao in front of him and waited for his concessions. The experience of having fought with him in London made little Rockefeller understand that he was by no means an opponent who could pay lightly. Especially in the past few years, he was outside. On the business negotiation table, he proved his cunning again and again.

While little Rockefeller was staring at himself, Zhang just tasted a glass of high-end whisky. He looked extremely relaxed. He knew that he had to wait until the moment when little Rockefeller could not hold on.

In this way, neither of them said anything. They just occasionally smiled at each other. Most of the time, they paid attention to the glass in their hands. Inadvertent confrontation was carried out in this subtlety. Through the wooden wall, from time to time, the moans of women came to their ears, but all this seemed to them. It doesn't have much impact.

The pointer of the clock is walking, ten minutes, twenty minutes, thirty minutes... In the upper class of the United States, the "special relationship" between the Rockefeller family and the Chinese royal family is well known. The queen in China sold an oil field with amazing reserves to the Rockefeller family at a sky-high price. That's why. In American politics, "the Rockefeller family funded the restoration of China, and the emperor stepped on the oil steps to ascend the throne!" The saying.

But anyone can understand the "friendship" between the Chinese royal family and the Rockefeller family, but it is only a "combination of interests". Perhaps the Rockefeller family has promoted the recognition of China by the United States and helped China's bond issuance, but almost every time, the cooperation between the two sides is It is based on interests, and this time is no exception.

The only problem is "lose and get", which is exactly what the two people in this room will compete for.

"65%!"

Finally, an hour later, little Rockefeller, who lost his surname, finally spit out a number.

Hearing this number, Zhang Hao, who was relieved, still shook his head.

"It's too high! It's unacceptable!"

"We will not only do our best to help you get Borneo, but also be responsible for helping you expel Shell by legal and impeccable means!"

Little Rockefeller threw his own bait to build a huge oil empire, not only the old Rockefeller, but also the wish of little Rockefeller. Standard Oil Company controls the oil of the whole Americas, controls 30% of the oil in Baku, and controls 35% of Romania's oil, but this spans The oil empires of America and Europe have a weak link... Asia.

Although Standard Oil controls 70% of Asia's oil supply, with the surge in the amount of Shell oil exploitation in Borneo, Shell may become Standard Oil's largest competitor in Asia in the next few years.

"High export tariffs, local import policies, and further expansion of mining rights are enough to destroy Shell. For the country, there is no need to consider Shell's existence in Borneo at all. With Shell's capital, they can't even support it for two years!"

Zhang Hao's words broke little Rockefeller's chips.

It is a strategy for His Majesty to introduce Rockefeller into Borneo. In fact, Standard Oil Company has always been China's most important partner in the oil industry. In the past, there was no oil refining enterprise in Asia, but now through the introduction of Standard Oil Company's technology and equipment, China has established in Shanghai. The largest oil refining company in Asia.

Sometimes some cooperation is a win-win situation. This is true in the cooperative establishment of enterprises. It not only allows the country to own factories, but also obtains technology free of charge. In the future, new factories in other places will naturally be the responsibility of the "Royal Petroleum Company". The fundamental reason why Rockefeller is to be introduced now is to use American capital. In exchange for the support of the United States, China won the support of Borneo.

"Within our support, you are likely not to get Borneo!"

Little Rockefeller said in almost threatening words that to a large extent, he didn't like this Chinese. Obviously, he asked for himself, but every time, he couldn't take much advantage of it.

"If China can't get Borneo, there is no possibility to get Borneo's oil fields!"

Zhang Hao reminded that little Rockefeller shrugged his shoulders helplessly. The Borneo oil field may be the biggest failure of the Standard Oil Company. When the Dutch East India government axe sold the exploration and exploitation rights of Borneo, although the price was low enough, the old Rockefeller could choose in the face of the harsh environment and poor oil there. I chose to give up. Even eight years ago, when Shell Oil Company's stock plummeted due to rumors, Standard Oil still missed the opportunity to buy the cheap Royal Dutch company's stock immediately...

However, the crude oil produced in the Borneo oil field, which cannot produce kerosene at a low price, is excellent as a fuel oil. Especially under the premise that the Chinese navy and the United Kingdom have begun to seek heavy oil as the naval fuel, the "poor quality" of crude oil in the Borneo oil field has become its superior. In the future, Shell will become the largest competitor of Standard Oil in Europe and Asia with the Borneo oil field, and suppressing the development of rivals has always been the most fundamental foothold of Standard Oil.

Looking at Zhang Hao in front of him, he spit out a number after a moment of meditation on Little Rockefeller, who was constantly weighing the future impact of Shell on Standard Oil.

"55%! The additional conditions remain unchanged!"

In the face of the conditions offered by little Rockefeller, Zhang Hao pondered for a moment, and then threw away the conditions that had been agreed in China.

"Royal Petroleum Corporation of China is 51% and Standard Petroleum is 49%. China promises to buy no less than one billion barrels of oil from Standard Petroleum Corporation in the next 20 years!"

In the face of Zhang Hao's conditions, little Rockefeller could hardly believe his ears, a billion barrels of oil? Little Rockefeller felt that he was almost stunned by this number, a billion barrels... 4.5% concession in exchange for a fixed huge market in the next 20 years.

"It is impossible for us to provide you with this oil at the partner's preferential price!"

Silence. In the face of the answer that little Rockefeller had made a "concend", Zhang chose to be silent.

"5%! Just like before, this is the most concession we can make!"

And the silent little Rockefeller took the initiative to make concessions, as if he was worried that Zhang would refuse him. Little Rockefeller said again.

"Mr. Zhang, you must understand that as you choose to boycott American goods, it will inevitably cause a certain disturbance in the United States. I think at this time, you need the United States more..."

The voice was a little heavy, and little Rockefeller threw a "bait", a bait that Zhang Hao could not refuse.

"We need to take the initiative of the U.S. industry and industry to show our attitude to Congress. We oppose the "China Business Covenant", otherwise your behavior is likely to be regarded as hostility to the United States! Especially when Japan is using your country's domestic problems to attack you in Washington!"

Little Rockefeller's "bait" made Zhang Hao have no choice but to smile bitterly. In the conflict, China benefited from the interference of the United States, but now the behavior of the United States... "Mr. Little Rockefeller, I think we can reach an agreement!"

After a moment of silence, Zhang Hao still chose to make a concession. The agreement he originally hoped to achieve was at least the other party to provide oil to China at a price of 6.5% lower than the marked price, but now he has to accept a "high price" of 5%. Who said that he was trying to disintegrate China's temporary in Washington. "Diplomatic advantage."

"But you know, Mr. Zhang, I can't guarantee that our agreement can finally be realized, because..."

After little Rockefeller finished speaking, Zhang Hao interrupted him and expressed his understanding.

"I understand that the final decision is in the White House!"
