Chapter 614 Generous
The next day, Irvine, Texas.
At 9:10 in the morning, the reporters who had been waiting for a long time in front of the Mobil headquarters entered the venue in an orderly manner, and everyone was full of curiosity and urgency.
Although no insider information had flowed out before, they had a premonition that today's news must be explosive.
The major newspapers are waiting for their ace team to bring back news, preferably the kind of explosion that will make the world tremble.
The layout of the press conference was not bad. There were four long tables on the top, which were covered with red cloth. The reporters at the scene also sat on individual seats instead of benches.
Each reporter can also get a hamburger and a glass of Pepsi. This thoughtfulness made all the reporters feel more fond of Mobil before the press conference started.
"Are all the reporters in?" At the back of the press conference, Alante Hamboni, who was still the CEO after the merger, looked at the assistant.
"Yes, BOSS, everything is ready." The secretary in uniform nodded and said. She was very hotly dressed, but she looked a little sorry for the audience.
Alante was also very helpless about this. This secretary was his most caring person, but his wife chose it for him. What could he do.
"Is President Rush ready?" Alante let go of his distress, and looked at his appearance for the last time.
"No problem." The staff at the door nodded in confirmation.
"Let's go, Mobil's first appearance after the merger." Smiling at Gordon Bastan, the executive director in charge of the East Asia region, who was beside him, Alante walked out of the room in high spirits.
Just when he came out, Rush also came out from the next room with Jonny and Mahathir. After meeting, they smiled at each other and walked towards the stage side by side.
When they saw that it was Rush and Alante who appeared on the stage, there was intense applause at the scene.
The highest representative of the CEO of the think tank, the executive president of Mobil Standard Oil, and the head of the East Asia region.
The press conference that allowed them to attend must be a sensational news, and the reporters sat upright with their ears pricked up.
"First of all, thank you for coming. We have prepared simple food and drinks for you...Oh, you have already eaten, great, remember to pay the bill when you leave..." Arrant pointed Secretary, as if to say 'don't forget to collect the money. '
"Haha..." The audience roared with laughter.
"Ahem, it's actually free. I hope everyone will have a good time in Aiwen City... Next, Mobil has some important news to announce."
Arante turned his gaze to Rush beside him, indicating that he could start launching satellites, and the reporters below raised their cameras to take pictures endlessly.
"According to the decision of Mobil's board of directors, Mobil will restart the Oman oil exploration plan. At present, the equipment and personnel are already at sea, and the international oil price will continue to remain stable, because we have sufficient crude oil for people to use." Rush said seriously.
"Due to the demand for crude oil in Northern Europe, Eastern Europe, and Western Europe, Mobil has reached an agreement with the largest oil company in Europe, Dutch Shell, to provide it with a large amount of reserve crude oil to cope with the increasingly complex international situation."
Immediately after Rush finished his speech, Arrante went on to announce the second news. Hearing him talk about the "complicated international situation," there was a commotion at the scene.
"Due to a series of issues such as overall business adjustments and personnel changes in East Asia, the supply of crude oil will be greatly reduced in the next few months. I hope all parties can understand!"
The final announcement was made by Gordon Bastan, and if it had been a mosquito-like whisper before, it had turned into a loud shout after he had finished speaking.
The reporters scrambled to stand up, asking whether this move was targeted, whether it was instigated by Washington, why the East Asian business was suddenly adjusted, and when the agreement with the Dutch Shell was reached...
There were too many questions that the reporters wanted to know, but most of the questions the trio said were "commercial secrets," and only explained in a targeted manner.
"The above decisions are all normal business practices.
There is no pertinence, please don't look at it with a dark nature..."
Gloomy, who else has you gloomy, your whole family is gloomy, the reporter cursed in his heart.
However, there is no time to worry about these things now, so it is better to send the news back and let the factory print another version. This year's year-end awards are stable again.
...
...
New York, Empire Hotel.
Roosevelt's butler and his wife were arranging his shirt and tie for the evening's dinner.
Suddenly someone broke in with a newspaper in his hand, and before he could speak, he said eagerly, "Mr. President, please read this."
Looking at the newspaper in front of his assistant, Roosevelt's pupils gradually tightened. This happened so suddenly that people were completely unprepared.
Business and personnel adjustments in East Asia, go to the ghosts!
In a small country like Japan, 80% of the oil used is exported from the United States, but now Mobil has announced an adjustment to cut off the supply.
It's okay if other oil companies don't take any action. If they follow suit, all Japanese ships, cars, etc. will soon be laid to rest.
Relying on the Sakhalin and Sakhalin oil fields acquired during the Russo-Japanese War, they are simply not enough to support the country's consumption, accounting for no more than 7% of the country's total.
British Burma and Indonesia together accounted for 10% of the total, and purchases from large and small oil fields would not exceed 20%.
Now that Mobil announced its cooperation with Shell, some kind of agreement must be reached between the two parties. It is impossible to get crude oil from Shell in Japan.
It seems that these things have nothing to do with Washington, but haven't you seen the remarks in the newspaper?
"Enterprise adjustment or energy sanctions?" Such an eye-catching sign does not mean that this matter was ordered by Washington.
Moreover, from this point of view, Mobil does not have any benefits. You must know that Japan's orders are one of their important sources of benefits.
Just stop and stop, aren't you afraid that the original market will be seized by others?
"Contact Charlie, it seems that we are going to meet early." Now that there are still 2 hours before the appointed time, Roosevelt decided to leave early.
The news of Huaguo has always been the focus of the federal government's attention. After all, there is a war going on there, and the situation is more serious than any other region.
Roosevelt also received information about the previous shocks suffered by Hualian, but is it too childish to say that this was done to avenge the employees?
Roosevelt couldn't figure out what Li Zitao wanted to do for a while, but there was definitely his shadow behind this matter.
The pre- and post-events were too targeted, and not only Li Zitao was involved, but also other financial groups, such as the news that was circulating on Wall Street recently.
