Text Chapter 112 Nigeria Investment Plan

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Jonas completely understood that this Cortna company definitely had some relationship with Rich, and he himself had been acting as a donor to many United Nations agencies. Officially relying on this relationship, Rich could benefit from the things he controlled.  Earn high profits from trading.  If the matter is thoroughly investigated, even if it does not lead to trouble, the good days in the past will not be available.  One emperor and one courtier, this is not just unique to China's political arena, it is the same all over the world.

    Jonas said: "Try to destroy some evidence and find a scapegoat if necessary. I don't think this storm will be suppressed easily."

    Richie nodded and dropped the topic.  Said: "You abandoned a plan in Nigeria, but it caused several local tribal leaders to harass me often. I would like to ask you what specific plans you have?"

    Jonas smiled and said: "There is no rush for investment in Nigeria. Infrastructure construction is always slow, but the capital requirements are huge. I have to wait until the company is established before taking the next step."

    Richie took a bottle of Spanish wine from the wine rack. This wine is not a famous brand and the price is only 20 francs a bottle, but it is Richie's favorite.  "I have a lot of time, you can start from the beginning."

    Jonas harassed and respected him, but would not follow his pace. He smiled and said: "I am very interested in your brother's exploration company. I think we can have an in-depth discussion on cooperation in this area."

    Richie poured Jonas a glass of wine, and Jonas took it and raised a glass to him.  Richie took a sip of his wine and said, "I thought you were going to talk to me about a partnership with a petroleum engineering services company."

    Jonas smiled and said: "Although your oil service company has pretty good technical reserves, its deep-sea mining technology is far inferior to that of Wilford Company and offshore oil service companies. Today, when onshore oil is gradually decreasing, our attention  Throw yourself into the sea.¡±

    Rich smiled and said: "These two companies are one of the largest service providers in the world. Offshore Oil Services Company is the world's number one in offshore oil extraction. You are too ambitious."

    Jonas said: "Mark, I am still young and I am willing to take risks. For me, failure is not something that cannot be accepted."

    "Then do you dare to take over all my energy and mineral related companies?"

    Jonas was stunned for a moment.  There was a burst of ecstasy in my heart, and I asked in disbelief: "Mark, are you kidding?!"

    Richie smiled and shook his head.  Said: "You know, my old line of work is trading. I like the business of handing over money and delivering goods. I have never been very interested in production-oriented enterprises or companies. In the early 1990s, I did a lot of bad things.  My decision included withdrawing from Glencore and entering the upstream industry. But 10 years later, these upstream service companies have not received the development they deserve in my hands. If you are willing to take over, I might as well sell it to you."

    Rich has many companies, including many energy-related companies, such as Brothers Exploration Company and Oil and Gas Engineering Services Company, which are among the largest assets.  He has three oil refineries in Spain. Although the three combined are not as big as the one owned by the Moratti family, they are also high-quality assets.

    Jonas shook his head and said: "Mark, I am very interested in all your companies. But I don't have that much money. Moreover, I don't want to enter the downstream link yet."

    Rich smiled and said: "If so, I will be even more happy with today's decision. Although I am willing to give up upstream exploration and development, I will never give up the logistics and trade link. I am not old enough to retire yet."

    Jonas said: "So, have we reached a consensus on cooperation?"

    Richie laughed.  "Yes, it's a happy day." He took out a cigar.  Lighting the spray gun, I gently turned the cigar between my fingers.  Roast slowly at a distance from the airbrush.  "I'm curious what you would do if you took over these companies?"

    "Of course it is to obtain exploration rights, explore, develop, and then cooperate with you to sell crude oil or ore." Jonas made a joke and said with a smile: "I actually already have a plan, since the situation in Nigeria is unstable  , then take advantage of this period to make plans quickly. Nigeria is short of 13 million liters of gasoline and diesel every day, so although the profit from investment in refining is not high, it is a good opportunity to stabilize the situation. A large amount of infrastructure construction can win over the surrounding tribes.  I will even offer them high wages. In this case, the nearby tribes will support it, and the distant tribes will be even more dissatisfied with their own situation."

    "But you will offend those big companies."

    Jonas said: "You once told me, benefit sharing. I have always kept it in my heart. I will not operate these things alone. Gandel has been looking for opportunities in Africa.Looking for various investment opportunities"

    "Then two people aren't enough." Richie finally toasted the cigar, moved closer to the blowtorch and lit the cigar.

    "What if Total is added?"

    Richie became a little more interested and said, "Total is not easy to win over."

    Jonas said: "Shell Oil's sphere of influence in Nigeria is too large. His family accounts for more than half of Nigeria's crude oil production. Not to mention Total, even Mobil and Texaco have great objections to him.  Maybe we can do something about this."

    Richie smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯m all ears.¡±

    Jonas said: "Shell has withdrawn from the Ogoni community since human rights defender and writer Ken Saro-Wiwa was executed by the Abacha government, but they still control most interests in other parts of the delta.  . The African Minority Power Organization was spun out of the Ogoni resistance organization. They don¡¯t lack people or fighting spirit, they just lack weapons.¡±

    "This is a risky move." Rich understood what Jonas meant. He wanted to use the resistance of African minority power organizations to suppress Shell's business scope.  If this was an old man's idea, Rich would say that he was motivated by interests, but it was crazy for Jonas, a young man who had just entered the industry, to come up with such an idea.  "Jonas, I don't agree with your behavior. Relying on force to solve problems is always the last step. It's too stupid to do this when your own living environment is not threatened."

    Jonas said disapprovingly: "Even if we don't provide weapons, the resistance movement in the Delta will immediately enter a new period."

    Rich asked: "Is this your hunch or analysis?"

    "There are all."

    Richie now took it seriously. If this is really the case, then this is a good opportunity for speculation and a good opportunity to expand influence.  Although he is 70 years old, Rich's control over power has never weakened.  Selling his company to Jonas this time was the result of his careful consideration.

    He has little interest in industrial companies. His greatest achievement in life comes from creating a trade model, and this is what he cares about.  Although these companies were handed over to Jonas, Jonas still had to pay according to the market price, and the employees working there were still his old subordinates, including Jonas, who would still be his power.

    Although Jonas understands this, he still accepts it without hesitation. There is also his reason.  First of all, the employees of Rich Company, like the employees of Ganenko, have rich experience and selfless work spirit. This corporate culture has been deeply rooted in the bones.  Secondly, Jonas needs such a platform. To establish a new company, it takes several months just to get the various departments to work together, and it will take a year or two to achieve tacit understanding. For Jonas, time is of the essence.  The most precious thing.

    Another reason is that Ricci is already 70 years old after all, and his energy is more concentrated in the field of trade. Jonas believes that he will not set any obstacles for himself to take power.  Because now he is Rich's experiment, and he wants to know even more than himself how far he can go.  Of course, this also includes his expectations for himself. People are emotional creatures. Starting from a joke baptism ceremony, the two of them regarded themselves as godfather and godson. As time went by, their feelings for each other grew.

    And Richie is indeed as Jonas guessed. At the beginning, because of Jonas's prediction and analysis skills, he felt that such a talent must not be ignored and should be actively involved.  In the course of their subsequent relationship, Jonas's frankness won Rich's favor. He knew clearly that Boggs and Hank had the responsibility to supervise him, but he was also frank and did not hide anything.  Moreover, Jonas¡¯s ability has gradually come to the fore during this process. Whether in Nigeria or Chile or the United States, Jonas¡¯s various behaviors have proven that he has the ability to gain a foothold in the industry.

    Rich thought for a while and said: "I will handle the affairs in Nigeria. You are only responsible for integrating the company. The most important thing is to find a third-party law firm to evaluate the property I transferred."

    Jonas smiled: "I hope to be able to get delayed payment for a period of time."

    Rich laughed and said: "No problem. In fact, after paying me US$500 million, I can defer the rest until next year."

    "Are you in a hurry for money?"

    Richie smiled and said, "You helped me earn 3 billion, but you attracted a lot of mouths, and these mouths have to be fed one by one." Although he said this, he never told Jonas  What did he do with his money?  This is 3 billion, not 300 million, let alone 30 million. This amount of money is even higher than the government revenue of most countries in the world.??.

    Jonas didn¡¯t ask any more questions. Richie naturally had his own reasons for not telling him. If he could tell him, he would definitely tell him to prove that he valued Jonas.  There are too many dark events around Richie, and being too curious is not a good thing. It is better not to touch some dirty water.  (To be continued)
