Chapter 1426 Nigerian Alumni
Nigeria is still very comfortable this season. The temperature is not too high. It rains occasionally to keep the air humidity and freshness. Driving at night can still find a comfortable feeling.
Compared with Lagos, Abuja is much quieter, day or night. Even the sound of car horns is rarely heard, which may be related to the unsafe night.
Although Nigeria is already the country with the best security situation in Africa, there will always be things like robbery and robbery at night, which is not comparable to countries on other continents.
Of course, robbery is also subject to scoring. If Yang Cheng travels in a convoy of three cars, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the front and rear cars are full of heavily armed bodyguards. Who would care for a tiger's butt in their free time? There is no such way to find chicken.
The journey went smoothly and safely to the Sheraton Hotel. Following Bernardi's instructions, the convoy stopped in a quiet area on the wing of the main building.
Bernardi turned back and said, "We'll go in through the side door later and meet up with Madick in the room I opened. We only have half an hour."
Yang Cheng frowned, and didn't say much, the energy minister's cards were big enough.
If it weren't for the first external expansion project of the North Sea Petroleum Company since its establishment, which was more significant than anything else, major shareholders like him and Conrad would never have come forward in person. Otherwise, why would they need so many managers?
"Who is he eating with now?" After Yang Cheng got out of the car, there was no one around, so he asked Benardi.
"It's a senior official from South Africa. I don't know the specific position, but Medic attaches great importance to it, and has confirmed today's banquet early."
"From South Africa? I remember that there were many conflicts between the people of these two countries."
Bernardi nodded, "Yes, it's mainly related to sectarian conflicts, internal conflicts within the Yang sect."
Hearing that it was related to religion, Yang Cheng's interest was greatly reduced. Regardless of why the senior officials of the two countries met in private, just don't delay his important event.
Not long after I entered the suite with Benardi, I heard a burst of footsteps coming from the corridor, and then there was a knock on the door. Hansen pushed the door and came in and whispered, "Boss, the target has arrived~"
Yang Cheng thought for a while, then got up and went out to greet her.
Surrounded by bodyguards and subordinates, a white-haired black old man walked over from the other end of the corridor. Benardi greeted him with a smile, "Dear Minister, please allow me to introduce you , this is Mr. Yang from the United States, and the North Sea Petroleum Company has his shares."
Medic smiled slightly when he heard the words, and then looked up and down Yang Cheng with sharp eyes, "Good evening, Mr. Yang, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long."
Yang Cheng didn't expect the other party's attitude to be so friendly, "Good evening, Mr. Madick, you have something to do, I don't mind waiting a little longer, please come in, if you have anything to say, go to the room."
Medic nodded, and his secretary immediately stood up and blocked the bodyguards of both sides from the door. After Yang Cheng and the others entered, the secretary closed the door and followed him in.
Yang Cheng and Madick sat on the couch together with a distance of less than half a meter, and Bernardi acted as a waiter, quickly delivering coffee and some pre-prepared desserts on the table, talking to Maddie Ke's secretary was sitting on the armchair opposite.
"Your Excellency, this is the first time that North Sea oil has left the UK and has come to the distant African continent to seek cooperation. We have rich experience in offshore oil exploration. mining.
Hope you can give us this chance. "Bernardi's sincere opening remarks can be regarded as a friendly start to the conversation.
As expected of being an official, Madick came up with empty words, "Of course, Nigeria is a friendly and inclusive country. We never exclude any friends who come to Nigeria to invest."
Although he looks old and has white hair all over his head, Yang Cheng guessed that this person should be less than 60 years old, and it is a good time for a fox to become a spirit. Just look at his piercing eyes, you can tell This person has a very confident personality.
Possibly even to the point of ego.
Bernardi added, "The oil field discovered in the Owowo sea area this time is one of the largest oil fields discovered so far this year. It is difficult for any one company to digest it cleanly. It requires everyone to work together."
The old monk Medic sat there as if in a trance, smiling without saying a word, listening to Bernardi's words quietly.
"EssenMobil's strength is unquestionable, but if Nigerian Petroleum wants to protect its own interests, it must introduce multiple shareholders and supervise each other in order to keep its interests from being damaged. Otherwise, EssenMobil's random operation will make expensive The country lost millions of dollars in interests."
The general method of negotiation, find a way to pour dirty water on competitors!
However, Medic is an old man and has been in the officialdom for so many years, how could he be tempted by Benardi's few words?
What's more, Yang Cheng, the speaker, hasn't spoken yet.
Bernardi also knew it in his heart. He knew that his words were just throwing bricks to attract ideas, and the one who could really talk to Madick had to be Yang Cheng, the major shareholder.
"I heard that Your Excellency Minister graduated from?" Yang Cheng asked a question that was unexpected to everyone.
In the car in the afternoon, Bernardi said that Madick graduated from a well-known university in the United States. He didn't think much about it, but after reading the materials prepared by Bernardi in detail, he found a coincidence. Some BT blacks even graduated from .
Sometimes luck is so mysterious. Some people desperately want to get in touch with big shots, but they won't even take a look at them.
And Yang Cheng just wanted to find something in common so that he could cut into the topic, but found out that the other party was actually an alumnus. This luck, are you angry?
Madick looked at Yang Cheng unexpectedly, "Could it be that Mr. Yang also graduated from?"
Yang Cheng smiled and nodded, "Yes, we are alumni, Mr. Madick."
The surprise on Madick's face was definitely not feigned. Yang Cheng knew that for a person deeply educated in the United States, the old beauty in his bones should be very useful. Sure enough, Madick still missed his alma mater very much. Hearing that Yang Cheng was a primary school student, the expression on his face became more sincere.
He took Yang Cheng's hand and kept shaking it, "Mr. Yang, it's really a surprise. Since I returned to my motherland after graduation, I haven't met alumni for many years. It's really great to meet you here. Great, tell me, how is school? Has anything changed?"
Yang Cheng didn't know where to start, so he could only tentatively say, "The Bruins didn't do very well last year. They only got 4 wins and 8 losses, but they won the game against the USC Trojans."
