Chapter 499： United States Line (4)

"Your Majesty, Mobil Petroleum is very happy to sell deep drilling technology to your country. And in order to express our long-term friendship, this technology can be licensed to Romanian Petroleum Company and Italian Petroleum Company for use."

Little Rockefeller's words made Edel frowned slightly. Nothing to offer courtesy, but to steal, there is no free lunch in the world.

"So what do we need to pay?"

"It only needs to allow Mobil to join Illuo Petroleum. It is necessary to know that Mobil has the most outstanding oil exploration technology and personnel to help Illuo Petroleum to better explore oil reserves. This is a win-win-win result."

Edel didn't expect Illuo Petroleum to attract voyeurs so quickly.

In fact, Edel wronged Little Rockefeller. The conscience of heaven and earth, the oil circle is that big. The establishment of the Italian Petroleum Company in Romania and Italy is not a small move. Because this company holds the oil exploration rights in the Italian colony, it has an instinctive temptation for Rockefeller.

Because Mobil does not have oil fields close to Europe, the oil it sold in Europe before was produced by the United States. But now Britain, France and other countries have discovered oil in their colonies, which has also led to a sharp decline in Mobil's sales in Europe. Now it is almost a problem for him to get an oil field nearby in Europe.

If you can't get oil fields, then equity participation is also one of its options. For European oil fields, only Romania and the Soviet Union can meet their needs. Romania's oil is of low quality and high sulfur content. It was a coincidence that it had acquired a small amount of shares, which did little to Mobil. According to the temperament of the king in front of him, Mobil could not even think about expanding its shares. From the perspective of contacts with the Soviet Union, it is more likely to be used, and the risk is too high and it is not cost-effective, even though its oil field production is amazing.

As for all parts of Asia and Africa, the areas that currently hold oil are basically under the control of countries such as Britain, France and Belgium. Don't think about the oil companies in Britain and France. The oil companies in these two countries will definitely not let Mobil take part in the shares. It is impossible for Belgium and the Netherlands to be deeply influenced by Britain and France. This forced Mobil to re-explore.

Where is it so easy to re-explore, first of all, you need to obtain local exploration rights. As long as you open the map, you can see that Africa has been partitioned by countries such as Britain, France, Italy and Belgium, and Asia is not its colony, and it is basically deeply influenced by Britain and France. After Mobil made a round, it really couldn't find an area that could be explored.

Who makes the United States currently isolationism? After retracting into the American continent, Mobil could only rely on its own strength to find food outside. This is where the European rivals relying on government influence to walk together, so currently Mobil does not really have new oil fields outside of the American continent.

The establishment of Illuo Petroleum Company happened to encounter Romanians to purchase deep drilling technology, so it was considered by Little Rockefeller as an opportunity.

As for why Edel would buy deep oil exploration technology, this is because he was affected by the memory of later generations. At that time, the location of the Daqing oil field had been explored by the Japanese, but its drilling technology was not good enough to find oil in the deep layers. This case informs Edel that just knowing it is useless, the most important thing is to be able to mine. In order to prevent the Japanese tragedy from repeating itself, Edel would negotiate with Rockefeller Jr. to purchase its deep drilling technology.

Whoever allows Mobil to have the best drilling technology in the world, Edel can only buy it from the door. But I didn't expect that Rockefeller seized this opportunity and wanted to get a piece of the pie.

Some unexpected circumstances made Edel have to cover first.

"I can’t promise you about taking a stake in the Italian Petroleum Company, because its main shares belong to Italy. Before we formed this oil company, we didn’t expect anyone else to take a stake. In fact, you can go to the Italian government and believe that they are willing. Join a company with strong technology and capital."

Faced with Edel's insincere words, Rockefeller smiled helplessly. In Italy, he had looked for it a long time ago, before Edel, and Mobil, who had no interest in him, was directly rejected on the spot.

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

Little Rockefeller's words made Edel want to refuse to speak.

No way, the most important task of this visit to the United States is to sell Treasury bonds. At present, there are too few people willing to underwrite Romanian national debt. Moreover, this time the amount of national debt is huge, and Edel intends to issue 1.8 billion US dollars of national debt in the United States. It is impossible without the help of the US consortium. For Americans with poor geographical knowledge, Romania doesn't know where. If you take out a map, someone may point to Antarctica and say that this is Romania.

And he got news that the capitalists headed by Morgan clearly had their own ideas about this large-scale Romanian national debt.

It’s not hard to guess that the king of Wall Street wants to confuse Romania’s financial industry. This seems unacceptable to Edel. He knew exactly how greedy these Wall Street capitalists were. If Romania’s financial industry is condemned by it, it will be quite detrimental to Romania’s development.

As for the one in front of him, he obviously wants to use Romania’s special relationship with Italy to earn benefits for Mobil.

Who makes the current relationship between Italy and Romania the best? The same Latin culture, coupled with the ambition of both competing for the Balkans, brought the two countries closer together. According to the truth, Italy and Romania should become competitors in the same area. How can they become partners?

Here we need to mention another country, France. As we all know, the relationship between France and Italy is getting worse because of the Mediterranean Sea. Yugoslavia has close ties with France, not to mention the territorial disputes between Italy and the two countries. At present, the relations between Europe and France are average, and only Romania has close relations with Italy. It happens that both countries have aspirations for the Balkans. Isn't this a natural ally?

This is why the Italian side showed extraordinary enthusiasm during Edel's visit. It's just that Romania doesn't have much demand for Italy, so the relationship between the two countries has not yet developed into a substantial alliance.

This is also the reason why Rockefeller approached Edel. What Mobil couldn't do was replaced by Romania.

"Let me think about it."

Edel considered the stakes and said to Rockefeller.

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

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

After Edel left, Old Rockefeller appeared in front of Little Rockefeller.

"It seems that there is great hope for success in this matter."

"Yes, father. Among them, I would like to thank the one on Wall Street. If it weren't for his help, the Romanians would not give us a chance."

"Then how are you going to thank him?"

"Perhaps we can underwrite more national debt this time. Compared to our sales of materials and oil, Morgan made too much profit by selling Anglo-French debt during World War I."

It seems that Little Rockefeller 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 the Romanian economy is not good, Rockefeller has a way to sell its national debt. The word packaging needs to be used at any time in the financial industry.
