Codex of the Old Gods: I Have a World

Zhao Chuanxin originally thought that the visitors were from the companies he had been talking to during the day.

Unexpectedly, it was someone from Royal Dutch Shell.

This company is inextricably linked to Wilhelmina's royal family, and to some extent it is considered one of its own.

As soon as the other party met, he wanted to give Zhao Chuanxin a hug.

Zhao Chuanxin turned to one side and reached out to block him: "Don't move your hands or feet."

The man was stunned, then put down his arms with a smile.

It was also his fault that he didn't have the eyesight to see that Zhao Chuanxin was still holding the child.

Of course, if he hadn't been holding the child, he might have gotten a big slap in the face.

Zhao Lingjun stretched out his chubby arm: "Dad, hit him."

"Fight whatever you want, this is one of our own." Zhao Chuanxin said.

After hearing this, the man felt much better.

"Mr. Zhao, I am Henry Dieterding, President and CEO of Royal Dutch Shell."

Henry Dieterding is now only 43 years old. He is young and holds great power.

He joined Royal Dutch Petroleum Company more than ten years ago as a small bookkeeper.

When Royal Dutch Petroleum merged with British Shell Petroleum, it merged into Royal Dutch Shell Petroleum. Because Marcus Samuel, the former chairman of Shell Petroleum, shifted his focus to politics and was busy running for the mayor of London and neglected business operations. Therefore, the real power of president and CEO can only be left to Henri Dieterding.

This guy looks like a scheming person at first glance.

Zhao Chuanxin invited him to sit down, and Margot went to pour tea.

Zhao Chuanxin asked Zhao Lingjun to sit on his lap and asked Henry Dieterding: "If you come to give me money, you don't need to ask, I won't refuse."

Henry Dieterding learned about Zhao Chuanxin from other people's mouths. Everyone said that Zhao Chuanxin's temper seemed to be bad, but in fact he was not very good.

But the heart is very soft, just like a sharp mouth and a tofu heart.

He smiled: "Mr. Zhao, I heard that you need large quantities of petrochemical-related products, and you also attach great importance to automobiles. In view of the relationship between you and His Majesty, I think we can cooperate."

Royal Dutch Shell has now achieved a very large scale.

Zhao Chuanxin naturally understands the importance of oil, otherwise, he would not miss Sakhalin Island.

"How do you want to cooperate?" Zhao Chuanxin first looked at the other party's intention.

Henri Dieterding said bluntly: "You know, our oil fields are in the Dutch East Indies. We have always wanted to open up the market in the Far East. The largest market - the Qing Dynasty, but it is firmly controlled by the capital of other powerful countries, and we have never been able to get involved. . You are a respected figure in the Qing Dynasty, and our cooperation is a matter of mutual benefit. "

Zhao Chuanxin is not interested in flattery.

He did not respond directly, but asked: "The noise of cars is very loud now, and the ignition of the car needs to be cranked by hand. What do you think?"

Henri Dieterding was stunned.

Why are you talking about this?

He thought for a while and said: "Although the focus of our business is currently on kerosene sales, it is undeniable that gasoline has great prospects in the future. I don't know much about cars. But the excessive noise is mostly due to unstable combustion of gasoline and easy explosion. Caused by the earthquake. The current use of the rocker to ignite may also be related to this. "

Zhao Chuanxin nodded: "Yes, you are right. It seems that you are indeed an expert. It is easy to ask questions, but it is not easy to solve them. Let me ask you, do you have a solution?"

"This..." Henry Dieterding said unconfidently: "Sir, you have to know that if this problem can be solved, it will also be crucial to the development of automobiles."

Zhao Chuanxin was delighted: "If I solve this problem, how much money do you think this technology is worth?"

Henry Dieterding frowned: "Sir, if you solve this problem, the automobile industry will usher in spring. This means that the sales of gasoline will soar. Whoever seizes this opportunity will be invincible. At least, we will stabilize the US Standard Oil. This value is naturally very large, but I need to know the details to tell you its value clearly.”

Zhao Chuanxin thought of that old fox Rockefeller.

There are many problems when literati write history. Most of them talk about literature, Taoism and military strategy. Military fans are led by this and feel that suppression of military technology is the key to victory or defeat in wars.

However, behind the history of war is actually the confrontation between technology and productivity.

Marshal Ted, commander of the British Air Force, once concluded that there were only three reasons why the air battle in World War II could be won: 1. Merlin engine. 2. High-quality fuel supply. 3. Pilot.

Zhao Chuanxin had already started laying out these three points.

After making a fortune on Wall Street, the proportion of the funds he invested in the aviation field was staggering. In addition, Lugang Town had secretly sent people to Europe and the United States to gain access to the earliest pilot training, and flight technology evolved almost simultaneously with the advent of the aircraft. .

Hua Liang from Juanwang Technical College has already begun researching gasoline antiknock agents.

Zhao Chuanxin originally planned to let him play around for a while and then give him some advice.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a sense of urgency and planned to find time to tell Hua Liang the secret of octane number after returning.

With 100 octane fuel and a corresponding engine, Zhao Chuanxin can sweep the battlefield in the sky.

With 150 octane fuel and a 27-liter engine, Zhao Chuanxin could make the Japanese cry for father and mother in the air during World War II.

Henry Dieterding suddenly looked solemn when he saw Zhao Chuanxin.

He couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Zhao, what specific solution do you have?"

Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth and smiled: "There are always more difficulties than solutions, that's what I said. Okay, let's get down to business. You guys just want to open up the Far East market nearby because of the oil production in the Dutch East Indies. I can help you do it.”

Henry Dieterding heard this and became even more vigilant: "So, what's the price we have to pay? I hope you can consider that although the Qing Dynasty is large, its market share may not be satisfactory."

He just reminded Zhao Chuanxian not to open his mouth like a lion.

Zhao Lingjun was dishonest, so Zhao Chuanxin lifted her up and put her on his other leg and said, "The market share will grow. As for me, the most praiseworthy thing is generosity. I don't want money and I don't fight. your shares.”

Henry Dieterding would not believe Zhao Chuanxin's nonsense.

The free ones may be the most expensive.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead with a silk handkerchief: "Are you sure you don't want anything?"

"I just don't want money or shares." Zhao Chuanxuan stared at Henry Deterding and said: "But I want your latest exploration, drilling technology, refining kerosene, fuel oil technology and equipment, and share the cruise ship of your former Shell Transport Trading Company , terminals, storage warehouses, sales points and oil fields are all related process models, from your oil tanks to your oil barrels, no detail can be left out. "

All he wants is the essence.

Henry Dieterding was very smart and his eyes widened: "Mr. Zhao, have you discovered the oil field?"

What Zhao Chuanxin wants is the ability to get started immediately.

After learning everything about them, as long as there is money and oil fields, American Standard Oil and Royal Dutch Shell will immediately have a powerful competitor.

Then, the Qingguo market that Royal Dutch Shell Oil has just opened completely loses its meaning.
