San Ramon, California, USA.
The city center is bustling with tall buildings.
In a conference room on the top floor of one of the skyscrapers.
A high-level meeting on the large gas field in the Yacheng sea area of China is in full swing.
In the center of the conference table sat a burly middle-aged white man.
He was wearing a black suit and had a strong aura, like a tiger, exuding unparalleled majesty from head to toe.
He looked around and said in a steady and powerful voice:
"Everyone, we have not yet reached an agreement with China National Offshore Oil Corporation on the project to develop a large gas field in the Yacheng waters.
As the overall person in charge of this project, Nielsen has an unshirkable responsibility for this.”
He frowned slightly, his tone revealing his dissatisfaction with Nelson:
"According to my investigation, Nelson seemed to be too engrossed in the local scenery and food during his stay in China, traveling, eating and drinking to his heart's content, and completely neglecting the project negotiations.
With such an attitude, how can we win the other party's respect and trust? And how can we reach a cooperation agreement that is beneficial to us?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the heads of various departments in the conference room gasped.
But it’s not that there was no opposition. A company will not be harmonious and it is common for companies to fight for their own interests.
"President Hall! I object. After all, Nelson was the first to contact China National Offshore Oil Corporation.
"Wouldn't a hasty change of personnel further affect the negotiations?" a vice president immediately objected.
"Vice President Xiliwen! This is the telegram sent to us by China National Offshore Oil Corporation this morning, strongly requesting that our company replace its representative."
Hall glanced at him calmly and handed the phone to the vice president on his left who had raised objections.
"I agree with your opinion and suggest that Nelson be fired. It's embarrassing for all of us for such a scum to continue working in our company."
The vice president, named Sylvia, was previously Nielsen's direct supervisor.
I also received a call from the other party yesterday, and finally decided to help him because he is one of my own after all.
But after seeing the telegram message from China National Offshore Oil Corporation, he decided to give up on the other party completely.
He actually got into a fight with his secretary and was arrested by the Chinese police.
The other senior executives in the meeting room were watching closely and choosing to stay out of the matter.
Under the president's authority, everyone agreed.
"Now let's move on to the second resolution. I want Herbert from the Investment Department to go to Huaxia and take over Nelson's position. What do you all think?"
This time it was passed smoothly without any setbacks. Next, we discussed how to continue cooperation with China National Offshore Oil Corporation on the Yacheng sea area gas field project.
“I don’t think we can gamble.
Nelson actually said that Mo Zhexuan, Chairman of China Gas Company, knew the true reserves of the Yacheng Sea Gas Field. So, wouldn't China National Offshore Oil Corporation be unaware of this?
“So I think instead of continuing to pursue a 49% stake.
It is better to inform Huaxia Offshore Oil Co., Ltd. truthfully as soon as possible so that the cooperation can go smoothly. Otherwise, if the cooperation fails, our losses will be huge."
Vice President Siriwen expressed his views immediately.
“I think we should still stick to the 49% stake, without our American Arco Petroleum Co., Ltd.
It is thanks to the energy processing plant of China National Offshore Oil Corporation and China Gas Corporation.
It is undoubtedly impossible to build a large offshore platform for mining and transportation."
Another senior executive immediately raised objections.
For a while, the conference room was filled with endless arguments and everyone was having a great time.
After almost everyone had expressed their opinions, everyone turned their attention to the middle-aged man sitting in the middle of the conference table.
"My opinion is that we should inform Huaxia Offshore Oil Co., Ltd. of the true reserves of the Yacheng offshore gas field as soon as possible.
We can agree to allow China Gas Company to join the project, and even meet Mo Zhexuan's request for a 20% stake."
Upon hearing this, almost everyone found it hard to believe and felt it was incredible.
Because this condition will undoubtedly cause the US Arco Petroleum Corporation to lose a lot of profits.
Without a reasonable explanation, it would be difficult for the other party to pass this resolution even if he is the president.
Hall calmly lit a cigar and took a deep puff.
A sinister look instantly appeared in the depths of his blue eyes. He flicked the ash in his hand while explaining:
“There’s an old Chinese saying that I deeply agree with: If you want to take something, you must first give it.
The Yacheng Sea area's massive gas field with reserves exceeding 100 billion cubic meters cannot be concealed; China National Offshore Oil Corporation will eventually find out."
“I have read the information sent by the Hong Kong Professional Investigation Company regarding China Gas Company Limited.
The other party does not have the ability to extract oil and natural gas at all; it is just a low-end processing plant that produces coal gas energy."
"Since the other party wants to join, we can agree, but the prerequisite is to pay 500 million euros.
And it must be a one-time investment, and we will hold a 29% stake through our technology investment.”
"After the three companies sign the contract, as the provider of technology and equipment, won't the 500 million yuan be ours?"
Speaking of this, Hall's eyes were filled with greed.
He licked his lips like a poisonous snake, as if he had seen endless banknotes rolling in.
“Then we can slowly drag it out during the project.
How about this idea of bringing down this financial giant with a net worth of over 5 billion Hong Kong dollars?"
"Oh! This plan is perfect! Yery good!"
"Yes! I totally agree."
"President Hall! I agree too!"
“...........”
This plan instantly gained everyone's support, and some even slammed their tables in excitement.
I can’t wait to have a party right now, and everyone seems to see a large sum of money going into their pockets.
"Ladies and gentlemen! The meeting is over. I hope we can achieve complete success!"
