Romanian Eagle

The 499th chapter of the United States (4)

"Your Majesty, Mobil Oil is very happy to sell deep drilling technology to your country. And as a sign of our long-standing friendship, this technology can be licensed to Roma Roma and Itiro."

Little Rockefeller's words made Edel frown slightly. There is no free lunch in the world if you are diligent and diligent.

"So what do we need to pay?"

"It's just a matter of allowing Mobil to join IRO. You must know that Mobil has the most outstanding oil exploration technology and personnel, and can help IRO to better explore oil reserves. This is a win-win result."

Edel did not expect that Iro Oil would attract voyeurs so quickly.

In fact, Edel wronged little Rockefeller. The conscience of heaven and earth, the oil circle is so big. The establishment of new oil companies in Romania and Italy is not a small move. Because the company held the oil exploration rights in the Italian colonies, it had an instinctive allure for the little Rockefeller.

Because Mobil Oil has no oil fields close to Europe, all the oil it sold in Europe was produced in the United States. And now Britain, France and other countries have discovered oil in their colonies one after another, which has also led to a sharp drop in Mobil's sales in Europe. Now it is almost a problem for him to get an oil field near Europe.

If the oil field cannot be obtained, then equity participation is also one of the options. The oil fields in Europe are only able to meet their needs in Romania and the Soviet Union. Romanian oil is of low quality and has high sulfur content. It was a coincidence that it had acquired a small amount of shares before, which did not help Mobil much. According to the temperament of the king in front of him, Mobil didn't even think about expanding its shares. In terms of contacts with the Soviet Union, the possibility of being exploited is greater, and the risk is too high to be cost-effective, despite its staggering oil field production.

As for all parts of Asia and Africa, the regions with oil are basically under the control of countries such as Britain, France, Belgium. Don't think about the oil companies of Britain and France. The oil companies of these two countries will never let Mobil take a stake. As for Belgium and the Netherlands, it is unlikely that they were deeply influenced by Britain and France. This forced Mobil to re-explore.

Where it is so easy to re-explore, you first need to obtain local exploration rights. As long as you open the map, you can see that Africa has been divided up by Britain, France, Italy and other countries, and Asia is not its colony, and it is basically deeply influenced by Britain and France. After Mobil turned around, he really couldn't find an area to explore.

Who makes the current US is isolationist at the moment. After retreating to the American continent, Mobil could only rely on his own strength to find food outside. Where are the rivals in Europe who rely on the influence of the government, so Mobil does not have new oil fields outside the American continent.

The establishment of the Italian oil company happened to meet Romanians to buy deep drilling technology, so it was considered an opportunity by the little Rockefeller.

As for why Edel bought deep oil exploration technology, it was his memory of later generations. At that time, the location of the Daqing Oilfield had been explored by the Japanese, but the drilling technology was not good, and no oil was found in the deep layers. This case informed Edel that it is useless to know, the most important thing is to be able to mine. In order to prevent the Japanese tragedy from repeating itself, Edel negotiated with Rockefeller Jr. to purchase its deep drilling technology.

Who let Mobil have the best drilling technology in the world, Edel can only buy it at home. I just didn't expect that Rockefeller Jr. seized this opportunity and wanted to take a share of the pie.

Some unforeseen circumstances forced Edel to take cover first.

"I can't promise you about taking a stake in the Italian oil company, because its main shares belong to Italy. Before we set up this oil company, we didn't expect other people to take shares. In fact, you can go to the Italian government, I believe they are willing to Join a company with deep technology and deep pockets.”

Facing Edel's insincere words, Little Rockefeller smiled helplessly. He had already looked for it in Italy, before Edel, and Mobil, which had no interest in it, was directly rejected on the spot.

"Your Majesty, I think with our deep friendship, it is best to ask your country to do it for you. In return, we can sell $500 million of your country's national debt in the United States."

Little Rockefeller's words made Edel unable to say what he wanted to refuse.

No way, the most important task of this visit to the United States is to sell government bonds. At present, too few people are willing to underwrite Romanian government bonds. Moreover, the amount of national debt this time is huge. Edel intends to issue 1.8 billion US dollars of national debt in the United States, which is impossible without the help of the American consortium. For the American people with poor geographic knowledge, they do not know where Romaria is. If they take out a map, some people may point to the South Pole and say that this is Romania.

And he got news that the capitalists headed by Morgan obviously have their own ideas about this large-scale national debt in Romania.

The idea is not difficult to guess, the king of Wall Street wants to infect Romania's financial industry. This is a bit difficult for Edel to accept. He knows how greedy these Wall Street capitalists are. If Romania's financial industry is infected by it, it will be very unfavorable to Romania's development.

As for the one in front of him, it is obvious that he wants to use Romania's special relationship with Italy to benefit Mobil.

Who makes the current relationship between Italy and Romania the best. The same Latin culture, coupled with their ambitions to compete for the Balkans, brought the two countries closer and closer. According to reason, Italy and Romania should be competitors in the competition for the same region, how can they become partners?

Another country, France, needs to be mentioned here, and it is well known that the relationship between France and Italy is getting worse and worse because of the Mediterranean. Yugoslavia, on the other hand, has close ties with France, not to mention the territorial disputes between Italy and the two countries. At present, Europe has a general relationship with France, and only Romania has a strong relationship with Italy. It just so happens that both countries have demands on the Balkans. Isn't this a natural allies?

That's why the Italian side showed uncharacteristic enthusiasm during Eder's visit. It's just that Romania doesn't have much demand for Italy, so the relationship between the two countries has not developed to a substantial alliance.

This is also the reason why Rockefeller Jr. went to Edel. If Mobil couldn't do it, Romania would do it.

"Let me think about it."

Edel considered the stakes and said to Rockefeller Jr.

"No problem, welcome your Majesty's presence at any time."

After the talk, Edel declined Rockefeller Jr.'s stay and left.

After Edel left, the old Rockefeller appeared in front of the young Rockefeller.

"It looks like there's a lot of hope that this will work out."

"Yes, father. I would like to thank the guy on Wall Street for this. If it weren't for his help, the Romanians would not have given us a chance."

"Then how are you going to thank him?"

"Maybe we can underwrite more bonds this time. Morgan made too much profit selling British and French bonds during World War I than we were selling oil."

It appears that Rockefeller Jr. has expanded the family's influence in the financial industry. And Romania seems to have a good economy at the moment, maybe it can let the American people know more about it.

Of course, even if Romania's economy is not good, Rockefeller Jr. can still have a way to sell its national debt. Packaging is a word that needs to be used at any time in the financial industry.
