    (Thanks to brother heed and brothers 974, 767, and 709 for their tips)

    The meeting between Jonas and Johansen can only be regarded as a constructive meeting. The two strangers will try their best to find common points in this meeting.  For Johnson, although Jonas has the status of Ritchie's godson and spokesperson, he is also Ritchie's loyal subordinate for many years, and he also has his own pride in his identity and status.  He will decide how to get along with Jonas based on what he judges.

    If he is a mediocre person, then he will arrange all the procedures, let him go through such a joining process, and then respectfully send him away from Nigeria.  And in the future, he doesn't need to pay attention to him at all, because they are not from the same world at all.

    ¡°But now it seems that this Jonas can gain Rich¡¯s recognition and indeed has his unique personal charm.  At least in the process of getting along with him, Johansen has not noticed any obvious character flaws in Jonas. Facing himself, he, a young man, actually has a depth that is elusive to him. In Johansen's opinion,  It's quite incredible.

    During the decades of Johnson¡¯s interactions with people of different races and countries around the world, the young people who can make themselves unpredictable have all experienced special training from their elders since childhood.  What he never imagined was that Jonas had two souls in his body, which resulted in his complicated dual personality.

    After some emotional contact with Johnson, when it was time to meet with Glasenberg, the two ended the conversation amicably.  After seeing Johansen off, Jonas went to Glasenberg's room to visit him.  Regardless of his age or status, Jonas was not qualified for Glasenberg to visit him.

    As a midstream trader, Glencore has always had an unwritten rule on the oil industry, which is control.  They don't care who owns the oil or who the transaction is with, they only care about whether they can control the transaction.  For each oil-producing country, they use gold dollars and diplomacy so that they can obtain a stable supply.

    For this political and business forum held by Obasanjo, Glasenberg and Beard, the director of the Ministry of Petroleum, personally participated, which shows how much they attach importance to Nigeria.  Both parties are not idlers. Glasenberg only left Jonas ten minutes, but at least he was not considered an outsider and could sit down and communicate with each other at any time.

    In the reception room of Glasenberg's room, Jonas met Beard, the director of the Petroleum Department, for the first time.  Beard, who is British, has been handling Glencore's global oil business from his London office.  At only 37 years old this year, he can be considered young and promising. His annual trade volume is tens of billions of dollars, accounting for more than one-third of Glencore's business.

    The work files of Jonas and Alini still remain in Ganenko, especially Elini, who has worked at Ganenko for nearly ten years and naturally has a very deep feeling for Ganenko.  They were very respectful when they met Glasenberg and Beard, and presented them with the cigars prepared by Jonas.  Glasenberg and Beard both happily accepted the small gift.

    Glasenberg asked with a smile: "Jonas, is your investment in the United States going well?"

    Jonas nodded.  He said straight to the point: "It went smoothly and basically met my needs. Uncle Ivan, I came to you to ask for your support."

    Glasenberg said easily: "Jonas, we are our own people, aren't we?!"

    "Of course." Jonas laughed.  "So I want to communicate some ideas with you first."

    "Uncle Ivan, do you still remember when we first met, I once mentioned that the development of Glencore requires expanding investment in upstream channels?"

    "Of course, that's what impressed me most about you."

    ¡°So what do you think of this meeting held by Obasanjo?¡±

    ¡°Are you trying to convince me to expand my oil investment in Nigeria?¡± Glasenberg asked.

    Jonas nodded.  "I think this is a good opportunity."

    Glasenberg smiled and said: "If it were in other countries, maybe I would consider this. But not in Nigeria."

    "Why?"

    Glasenberg smiled, but said nothing, his expression a little embarrassed.  Beard laughed and said: "Jonas, Mr. Glasenberg has a South African identity."

    When he said this, Jonas suddenly came to his senses and secretly blamed himself for seeing this part in the information but actually neglecting it and causing such an embarrassing situation.

    Since the implementation of the apartheid system in South Africa, the isolation and oppression of black people in the country have always been regarded as hatred by African countries.  As the birthplace of African culture and the most populous country, Nigeria has become incomparable with South Africa.After independence, white South Africans were simply refused entry by Nigerians.  It was not until Mandela's comeback that the two sides had political contact, but white South Africans were still unpopular with the Nigerian government.

    People from any country can develop in Nigeria, but white people with South African identity will never be able to gain a foothold in Nigeria.  If Ganonco invests in Nigeria and a competitor reveals Glasenberg's identity, Ganonco will suffer crazy revenge from those local tribes.

    However, Glasenberg did not pay too much attention to this and said: "Jonas, although Glencore cannot invest directly in Nigeria, we can support your investment in Nigeria according to tradition. We only need to have stability."  supply.¡±

    Jonas nodded and said: "Of course, I am also a part of Gannenko after all. No matter when, Ganneng will definitely be my first partner."

    Beard asked: "Jonas, what are your plans?"

    "The specific plan depends on the conditions given by President Obasanjo. But what I am considering now is to invest mainly in storage, refining and cargo ports."

    Beard frowned.  "According to Nigeria's environment, these do not seem to be very cost-effective investments. Have you not thought about investing in exploration and mining?"

    These aspects of Jonas¡¯s investment have some conflicts with the traditional business scope of Glencore. However, the market is so big that Glencore only occupies a small share.  Jonas smiled and said: "If it is not convenient for Glencore to invest directly, then it will be a good thing for us to expand my power in the intermediate links."

    Glasenberg asked: "Does Mr. Rich know about this?"

    Although this means that he doesn¡¯t believe in Jonas¡¯ ability, Jonas doesn¡¯t care.  It is only natural that he should be questioned before something is done.  "I mentioned it to him and he agreed."

    Glasenberg smiled and said: "Then when you get the official contract with Nigeria, we will discuss this matter in detail. We at Glencore are interested in any good project."

    Jonas smiled and said: "Then I won't waste Uncle Ivan's time. Total is not an easy opponent to deal with."

    ¡°To me, they are partners, not opponents,¡± Glasenberg said with a smile.

    (I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m not in good condition today. I only wrote 2,000 words. I¡¯ll make up for it tomorrow.)
