Chapter 891 My Future
"ARE YOU CRAZY?" Archimonde said this almost subconsciously.
Indeed, apart from crazy, Archimonde could not think of any other words to describe Chen Yang's words at this moment.
He wants to acquire shares in the Duri and Minas oil fields, which is Shell's largest plan in Asia for the next five years.
The entire development plan was laid out last year, with a huge investment of financial, material and human resources.
It should be said that ever since the German cavalry swept across Europe, the Dutch headquarters has been worried that Shell’s interests in Europe could not be guaranteed.
So, they focused their development on Asia.
Otherwise, those seemingly profitable oil fields in North Africa would not have been destroyed so easily.
In order to ensure the smooth progress of the plan, Shell gave up part of its interests and invited Chevrolet to jointly develop the project with Exxon, a US oil consortium owned by the Rockefeller family.
The purpose is to gain the support of the Americans. After all, their military strength is obvious to all. Shell believes that it is impossible for any country to directly conflict with the Americans.
And now, Chen Yang's words and actions imply that the Japanese are interested in these two oil fields.
Let the Japanese get involved in oil? Shell would never agree to that.
As soon as he said this, Archimonde immediately realized that he had lost his composure.
He quickly stood up and apologized: "I'm sorry, Minister Chen, I seem to have lost my composure, but your proposal is really shocking."
"Well, Minister Chen, were you kidding me just now?"
Chen Yang shrugged and said, "I'm not interested in joking with you. This is just a suggestion."
"Of course, you can refuse, but I think you still need my participation."
Archimonde looked at Chen Yang in surprise. After a while, he couldn't help but ask, "Minister Chen, you plan to invest in Duli and Minas. Do you know how much it will cost?"
"I really don't understand where you get the confidence from."
"Confidence, of course, comes from strength." Chen Yang smiled and said, "Mr. Archimonde, please take the British property acquisition plan back first."
"Then, don't forget to report my investment plan to the headquarters. By the way, you can tell them that it is Sunshine Life Pharmaceuticals that plans to invest."
Archimonde hesitated and said, "Minister Chen, as far as I know, the decision maker of Sunshine Life Pharmaceuticals is Mr. George."
"He has been very close to the French government recently and has been helping them?"
"Wait, you're not saying that the French are interested in this?"
"Oh, the French troops in Vietnam have been beaten to pieces. They don't have much strength."
Chen Yang did not refute Archimonde's words, but said lightly: "Mr. Archimonde, you just need to bring my suggestions to me."
"I think Sunlife Pharmaceuticals is definitely qualified to be a partner with Shell."
Archimonde hesitated for a moment. Indeed, Chen Yang was not qualified enough, but if it was Sunshine Life Pharmaceuticals, it would indeed be a behemoth.
The pharmaceutical factories under its name have investments in various countries including Europe, America, and Asia.
The profits from pharmaceuticals are staggering, and they are fully capable of negotiating cooperation with Shell.
What's more, George was a French nobleman. Although France had become an undefended country, French nobles could still receive some preferential treatment.
"If that's what Mr. George wants, I think the board should be able to consider it. After all, we also want to reach cooperation with Mr. George in certain areas."
Archimonde naturally assumed that everything Chen Yang said was actually what George meant.
He could refuse to cooperate with Chen Yang, the Minister of Transport, but if it was to cooperate with George, he would have to think about it.
"Minister Chen, I have noted your proposal. I have booked a boat ticket back to Europe tomorrow. If there is no problem with the plan, we will contact the person in charge of Huafu Fund in the UK as soon as possible according to your request."
Chen Yang extended his hand and said, "Mr. Archimonde, I wish you a safe journey."
"Thank you, Minister Chen." Archimonde stretched out his hand and shook hands with Chen Yang, then left the office without looking back.
Chen Yang looked at Archimonde's receding back with a slight smile on his face.
He had some impression of the Minas Oil Field and the Duri Oil Field before, but he only knew that Minas was discovered in the 1940s, and he was not sure about the exact time.
Chen Yang handed over the British property acquisition plan to the head of the British Huafu Fund, the old Sir, Peter Lehman.
Sir Lehman used his intelligence network to quickly find out why Shell wanted to cash out on a large scale.
They need a lot of money to develop the two large oil fields of Minas and Duri in Indonesia.
After receiving this information, Chen Yang immediately recalled that these two oil fields were known to be the third largest oil producing area in Asia in the future.
Ranked first is the Ghawar Oilfield in the Persian Gulf, and ranked second is China's Daqing Oilfield.
The Minas oil field was the first to be discovered. After this oil field was discovered, other oil fields such as Duri, Sepangka, Pekanbaru, and Pematan were discovered in the surrounding areas one after another. So many oil fields formed a huge oil-producing area.
This is also the reason why Shell is willing to sell some of its properties in order to invest here.
The Minas Oil Field has oil reserves of up to 1 billion tons, which is three times more than the oil reserves on Sakhalin Island in the hands of the Japanese.
From its development in the 1976s to 2.4, the Minas Oilfield produced a total of million tons of crude oil.
That is to say, since the Minas oil field entered normal development, its annual output has reached 45 million barrels.
This figure is very shocking, especially now that we are in war time and crude oil prices are very high.
This oil field can bring billions of dollars in revenue to Shell every year, and I'm not exaggerating.
However, profit is secondary. Chen Yang’s goal is not money, but Exxon.
If you are unfamiliar with the name of this oil company, then you must have heard of it by another name.
Standard Oil is an oil company founded by John Rockefeller in 1880.
The reason why Chen Yang was eager to establish a relationship with the Rockefeller family was because he knew very well that once the Pacific War broke out, there would be no possibility of cooperation between them.
Only by taking the lead in establishing a relationship with the other party and demonstrating one's own strength and sincerity can one establish a good relationship with the largest oil consortium in the United States in the future.
In a country like the United States, politicians' biggest reliance is these consortiums. It is no exaggeration to say that even the five-star Emperor Mac has to obey the orders of these oil consortiums.
