Reborn American Giants

"Ms. Mavis, I didn't expect that we would meet again," Victor looked at the CEO's assistant standing next to Aaron Elvis and smiled very happily.

It was the person she thought was a liar last time. Standing with him was Sir Oliver Levine, the representative of Royal Doulton. Miss Mavis, assistant to the CEO of Texaco Company, stood there with some embarrassment. She opened her mouth.

After calling "Mr. Jose, Sir Levin", I didn't know what to say.

In Miss Mavis's mind, the impression left by Victor and others was quite deep. She had even discussed it with her colleagues, of course as a joke.

Four strange-looking people with unknown origins swaggered into Texaco's headquarters building. Without any evidence, they brazenly claimed that they had the right to exploit a super oil field. Could it be that

Do they really think there are too many fools and not enough liars in this world?

It's just that the situation developed so quickly that it completely exceeded Miss Mavis's expectations. She never imagined that the man who claimed to be named Jose Victor, whose name was Green Bay Energy, actually owned the mining rights to an offshore oil and gas field in Grenada.

, and soon the media revealed that the U.S. National Geological Service had issued an oil field reserve estimate.

Everything the man said was true, and in this case, Miss Mavis' situation was even more embarrassing. At the most difficult moment for Texaco, she single-handedly rejected a super star who was ranked third in the world as soon as he was announced.

oilfield.

Mavis never mentioned this matter to Aaron. Although Victor chose to cooperate with Texaco in the end, she still tried her best to avoid encounters with Victor, hoping that this matter would slowly dissipate with the passage of time.

.

However, as luck would have it, she couldn't escape the meeting with Victor in the end.

Because today is the day when the joint founding energy company was signed and established. After intense negotiations, the five parties, Texaco, Exxon, Royal Doulton, Green Bay Energy and the National Petroleum Company of Grenada, will finally work together to form a new joint venture.

Enterprises jointly develop offshore oil and gas fields located in the waters near the Golden Bay of Grenada.

In the newly established joint venture, the National Petroleum Company of Grenada enjoys 30% of the share dividends and does not participate in management. Texaco Petroleum obtains the rights of the oil field operator with a share of 20%, and Exxon also has the same 20%, and is required to provide oil fields.

37% of the investment in project construction.

Ranked fourth is the little-known Green Bay Energy. Among the American people, Victor retains a 16% share and uses 3% of the investment in oil field construction in exchange for Texaco and Exxon to help Green Bay.

Energy's construction of a 400,000-barrel-per-day refinery in El Salvador with an annual output of about 20 million tons can be considered a great success.

The final fifth company is the Royal Doulton Petroleum Company with a British royal background, represented by the Queen's Financial Steward and Minister of Land and Finance of the Duchy of Lancaster, Sir Oliver Levine.

The five parties jointly held a signing ceremony and press conference at Texaco's headquarters building to officially announce the establishment of the jointly founded energy company, and will then begin the formation of the joint company and the development of the Golden Bay Oil Field.

Aaron Elvis seemed a little high-spirited. Stimulated by this major good news, Texaco's stock was sought after by investors. Some time ago, the stock price of the company that fell like a plunge has returned to 157 before the fall.

USD/share, and there is still an upward trend, which makes Aaron, who has been suffering for a while, let out the frustration in his chest.

Although there are constant internal fights among the large American multinational oil companies headed by Exxon, they have been pursuing a policy of causing a shortage of domestic crude oil in the United States in order to maintain high oil sales prices.

This is a policy decided by large energy companies together with the financial consortium on Wall Street and London. Energy companies need high oil prices to obtain more benefits. The financial consortium also needs high oil prices to increase the income of oil-exporting countries before implementing Soltz

“Recycling petrodollar policies.” discussed at Yorbaden Conference.

They need large foreign currency surpluses like the oil-producing countries in the Middle East to deposit the large U.S. dollar surpluses generated by high crude oil prices into major banks in London and New York, so that these banks not only handle U.S. dollar business, but also participate in international oil transactions.

Major banking institutions such as Chase Manhattan, Citigroup, Hanhua Industrial, Barclays, Lloyds, and Midland have all made windfalls in the oil-dollar recycling cycle.

These private companies are happy, but ordinary people around the world have to pay for them. The White House is obviously not satisfied with this situation. President Underwood's economic advisory team is working hard to formulate a plan to strengthen the supervision of Wall Street financial institutions.

The bill hopes that in this way, these energy giants and financial institutions can restrain themselves.

Now that it has the right to operate a super oil field, Texaco can move forward and retreat freely. The Grenada oil field can be said to be at the doorstep of the United States. For the sake of energy security strategy, there is no doubt that the White House and Congress will

Choosing to support Texaco, the merger with Getty Oil was a foregone conclusion.

As a result, financing negotiations with Wall Street financial institutions represented by Goldman Sachs have also gone very smoothly. Aaron is preparing to raise another US$7 billion, plus the "repurchase loan" for the acquisition of Getty Oil, allowing Texaco to

It has become the most indebted company in the United States.

But now Texaco's board of directors is not worried about this at all. Enthusiastic investors have dispelled their concerns. They are so ecstatic about the coming prosperity that they have forgotten that in the face of crisis, the relationship between the company's top executives

cracks. But overall, things are looking up for Texaco.

So Aaron feels very satisfied now. He had received a call from Deputy Secretary of Energy James Schlenter last night. In order to ensure the energy security environment of the United States and allow American companies to further actively expand abroad, the White House decided to

In 2019, an energy subsidy plan worth up to US$3 billion will be submitted to Congress, and Texaco will become the first company in the energy subsidy plan.

It was really wonderful, just like Texaco suddenly gained the favor of God.

Of course, Aaron will not forget who brought all this, so now Victor is his "lucky messenger" in his eyes. He holds Victor's hand, and with a smile, he turns sideways and asks the person next to him to

After the photographer took the photo, he patted the back of Victor's hand and asked in surprise: "What, Victor, have you known Mavis before?"

"Haha, Aaron, remember what I told you before, the first time I visited Texaco? That time it was Miss Mavis who hosted us," Victor said, standing behind Aaron.

Mavis nodded, "It's just that, at that time, I think Miss Mavis must have thought that we were bold liars who came out of nowhere."

"Is this still the case?" Aaron glanced at Victor, then turned to look at his assistant.

"Mr. Jose, I haven't apologized to you for what happened last time. Taking this opportunity today, please accept my sincere apology." Mavis quickly seized the opportunity. She put her hands on her lower abdomen and gave Victor a slight kiss.

He bent down to apologize, then raised his head, looking at Victor with a pleading look in his eyes.

Victor shrugged his shoulders, which made Mavis, who had been staring at him closely, feel nervous. This kind of thing was trivial to say the least, it was just a misunderstanding, but if anyone wanted to pursue it, then she would be in the Texaco company.

You will be punished to a certain extent, and the result will most likely be a job adjustment and the loss of your current position as assistant to the CEO. For Mavis, this means that she has to leave Texaco on her own.

Fortunately, Victor's next words made her breathe a sigh of relief.

Winking at Mavis, who was looking at him nervously, Victor sighed deliberately, and then said: "I think you should treat me to a meal as a formal apology."

"Haha, Victor, Mavis is my most capable assistant. If you want to influence her, I won't agree to it," Aaron laughed and used men's jokes to help his assistant resolve the misunderstanding.

"Well, but Mavis, you really should treat Victor to a good taste of New York's food. Of course, it's just for a meal."

Mavis was confused by the authorities. When Victor said this on this occasion, he just said it as a self-deprecating joke. However, she apologized to Victor in front of everyone, which made Victor seem a little reluctant.

It looked like that, but Victor handled it well and did not cause further embarrassment to both parties.

"Of course, I can guarantee this," Victor spread his hands, "but if Miss Mavis is attracted by my charm, there is nothing I can do about it."

"Haha"... Victor, Aaron and Oliver all laughed, and at the same time they showed expressions of understanding among men.

"What are you laughing at? You look so happy," a male voice suddenly interrupted. It was Exxon's Steve Black. He held a glass of champagne in his right hand and said, "Let us all celebrate the success of the co-founded energy company.

Let’s set it up, cheers.”

The three Victors also raised their wine glasses. Four transparent wine glasses met in mid-air. The wine swayed and reflected the light. A reporter from the Wall Street Journal seized the opportunity, half-crouched down, and took this photo...
