"Brother, why are you here now! Mr. Guedas has been here for a long time! "Carolyn? Gomez sent Guedas's arm, hugged the man, and said dissatisfiedly, looking a little coquettish.

"Huh. Something happened on the way, delayed! The man looked at Caroline dotingly, turned to Gedas and said, "Mr. Gedas, I'm Ronald?" Gomes, Governor of Surya, sorry for being late tonight, but you're very welcome to Malay Kaibo! ”

"Thank you, Mr. Governor, for your kindness! Venezuela is a hot spot for investment, and the Lake Maracaibo region is the first stop for our company, and I believe that we will have a very pleasant cooperation because we have many common interests. Isn't it? ”。

Guedas smiled humorously.

In business, there are not too many roundabouts, and the essence of the cooperation between the two sides is naked.

In fact, Gómez was not only a politician and a soldier, but also a businessman, who controlled many of the industries in the state of Zulia, with more than 20,000 acres of pasture on the shores of Lake Maracaibo alone, employing more than 30,000 head of livestock, making him the largest meat merchant in the region.

Even the hotel where they are staying in Gedas now is the private property of Gomez. It can be said that in the Maracaibo region, Gómez is the largest landowner, calling for wind and rain, omnipotent.

The era of spelling dad is everywhere!

It can be seen from the surname that the Ronald in front of him, who has been in a high position since his first year? Not only was Gomez a student in the United States, having attended West Point, but he was also the current leader of the country, Juan? Gomez's son, although someone has never publicly admitted it.

Well, bastard!

For the rest of his life, Juan? Gomez never married, but he sowed more than a hundred seeds into the world, enough to form a reinforced platoon. Ronald? Gomez is one of the best among them, and it is not an exaggeration to call him a "platoon commander", so he is also very popular with Juan? Gomez's weight.

Such a local snake Guedas is naturally not easy to offend, but there are many places to rely on each other, dictators like Gomez foreign companies like the most, because such a ** cost is relatively low, as long as ** Gomez alone almost got the right to oil exploration in the Lake Maracaibo area.

On the other hand, all warlord dictators are tough internally and weak externally, and Gomez is no exception. His Lao Tzu came to power by a coup d'état, so he naturally had to know how to pacify the army.

But all these years. Venezuela's economy has been sluggish, officialdom **, in order to appease his men, Juan? In addition to wantonly collecting the people's wealth, Gomez can only sell the country vigorously.

Unfortunately, this aspect has not been too ideal.

Because of Shell's example, other foreign oil companies are reluctant to come to Venezuela. There is no way to sell the country, Gomez and his son are really bitter!

But they have always believed that there must be a staggering amount of oil buried in the Lake Maracaibo region. Now there is just a lack of an opportunity to detonate this round of frenzy.

In the face of Panamanian oil companies with the background of multinational giants like Occidental Petroleum Corporation, Gomez is naturally very welcome. He had to be careful and keep his posture low.

Moreover, this time, Guedas has another temporary identity. Representatives of Bethlehem United Steel! He will make an arms deal with Gomez and his sons.

This is the biggest temptation for the Gomez father and son, who are not very secure in power, and only the army is the source of their power and wealth.

"Mr. Gedas, as the governor of the state of Zuria, I have always been committed to the economic development of the state, so I very much hope that American capitalists like you will come and invest in the region, and for this we can offer favorable terms, tax exemptions, land requisition, land leases. Provide security and security to effectively protect the interests of investors. ”

Gomez looked at Guedas eagerly, he had studied in the United States when he was young, and naturally knew the gap between Venezuela and the developed countries outside.

There is almost no industry in the Lake Maracaibo region. The production is all low-value-added crops, which makes Gomez, who has seen large-scale production in the United States, unbearable. So he was determined to change that.

The introduction of foreign capital has become his inevitable choice, but unfortunately, the oil in the Maracaibo Lake area has not been hot, and before the discovery of large oil fields, the land they hoarded early was not cared for at all, and they could only grow sweet potatoes in their hands.

In the European war, all European capital was pumped back. In Gomez's view, to make the Maracaibo Lake area. The only option for the industrial development of the state of Zulia and indeed the whole of Venezuela can only be the United States.

The arrival of Gedas gave Gomez a sudden hope. Therefore, he hurriedly felt that Marakaibo was just to impress the American capitalist, and by the way, he also changed the equipment of his troops!

Although Gedas didn't know what Gomez was thinking, he felt the eagerness of the other party, even eagerness, and his heart was much more steady, and he was not in a hurry.

After all, it is the first time to go abroad to deal with foreign warlords and politicians, which is not very different from doing business in the United States, Gedas has made sufficient preparations before he comes, and he also knows why the other party is so urgent, but before confirming that Maracaibo has a large oil field, Gedas naturally will not make a promise lightly.

He pondered for a moment and said, "I am touched by Mr. Gomez's sincerity, and the development of resources and the promotion of local economic development are also what our company would like to see."

To tell you the truth, although our Panama Petroleum Development Company has just been registered in Panama, all the capital comes from the United States, and behind us are two large American oil companies, so we can rest assured that our strength, Mr. Governor, is reassuring.

The only problem is that oil exploration is an adventure, after all, there is a precedent for Shell, and our company is under a lot of pressure, and we hope to have a lot of support from Mr. Governor. ”

Damn, even if I don't give you support, aren't your guys already rumbling out there?

This Yankee is really slippery, and he doesn't scatter eagles when he doesn't see rabbits. Ronald? Gomez scolded in his heart, and he didn't break it.

"Alright! I can understand Mr. Gurdass's concerns, so how about I lease the marshland east of the lake to your company at a reasonable price for 30 years?

At the same time, I would also like your company to provide some police equipment to strengthen our police force and better serve the state's investment climate. ”

Ronald? Gomez said tentatively.

Lake East Marshland? Isn't that exactly what Situ Nan wants to get for himself? I didn't expect it to be so easy to complete a small half.

Gedas was secretly happy in his heart, but said: "Providing equipment to fight crime, this is no problem at all, and the price is easy to say, but according to our company's habits, we want to have the power to protect ourselves, which can also greatly reduce the pressure on the police." ”

Large corporations generally have armed forces to protect themselves, which is customary in Venezuela.

Seeing Gomez nod, Guedas continued: "Now back to the topic of oil development, I don't think it's enough to extract oil in Lake Maracaibo, I think what you need is a solution to build an oil industry city, sir."

You see, there is hardly any industry in Lake Maracaibo except for a few oil wells that are not alive, which is very detrimental to the development of the local economy.

If you can trust me, sir, I think that in addition to the oil industry, we can also cooperate in "mineral development, grain processing, port construction, shipbuilding, etc., which is a package solution."

Hehe, I don't think companies all over the world are willing to do this, except for our company. This is also the goodwill of our William Consortium, I hope you do not postpone. ”

"William's Consortium?" Gomez wondered.

"Yes. We are an emerging power in the American West, but with extensive influence throughout the country.

If things go well, we at Wells Fargo Panama will also set up a branch in Maracaibo. In finance, we can work together too, can't we?

By the way, the police equipment provided to you this time is produced by the Bethlehem Steel Company, a subsidiary of our consortium, in the California arsenal. If you're interested, we can also provide battleships!

Of course, except for battleships, there are other types of ships that you can afford to provide for you.

After the war in Europe, we can also give away some very useful warships to support the defense of Venezuela, and the Brazilians are already ahead of you in this regard. Hehe. ”

Gedas's words made Gomez excited, like one fragrant flatbread after another in front of him.

There is no free lunch in the world, the other party seems to promise a lot, but in fact, there is only one center, cooperate with them and meet their requirements!

After all, Gomez is highly educated and has studied in the United States, so he naturally knows the Yankees' strong production capacity, although it is the first time he has heard of the William Consortium, but he believes most of it in his heart, since he dares to go to the sea, the other party should have such strength.

As the governor of a state, Gomez naturally wanted to industrialize the land under his rule, which was only on a small scale.

Then, in ten or eight years, Venezuela will initially establish its own industrial base, and it will be second to none in Latin America.

Of course, this is also a high price, because it is obvious that the other side wants to take the whole of Lake Maracaibo, and their ambition is really big! Especially on the premise that the big oil fields of Lake Maracaibo have not yet been fully confirmed, the other party is a crazy gambler if not full of confidence.

He threw out the killer weapon and landed like a bomb in Gomez's heart. Gomez not only glanced at Guedas again, well, this guy's expression also looked serious, and he shouldn't be teasing himself.

"Do you mean it really? Can you prove it? ”。 Gomez asked. If it's really like what the other party said,

"What do you say? Can this be faked? Guedas's face was displeased, as if he had been insulted.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Gedas, what you said is too important, I have to go back and think about it before I can reply." Gomez said heavily.

"As it should be." Gedas nodded, "Whether it succeeds or not, our Panama Petroleum Development Company's investment in Maracaibo will not change. I hope the Gomez family will join us as well. Guedas said.
