After the bright prospect of the No. 30 oil field on Eugene island was determined, Gao Xian did not stay in the acid gas ridden United States. He set off to return to London, England, where he was selected as the hub of international investment activities, and met with senior executives of BP.

In fact, Gao Xian had planned to go to the white house sometime, but because American President Nixon was troubled by the increasingly fierce "Watergate incident", he didn't want to move forward.

Prince Charles on the British side is quite reliable, helping to contact the most powerful figure of BP, namely Peter Walters, who is in charge of the business in the Western Hemisphere, Australia and the Far East.

As for the power source of this reliable style, it is not difficult to guess from Prince Charles happily asking Gao Xian about the No. 30 oil field on Eugene island.

How can your highness, the grand crown prince, talk about money directly?

Understanding Gao Xian said in a joking tone: "unexpectedly, the fun bet at the auction really brought luck. If your Highness the prince is free, send someone to my office to settle the income."

"It's a trivial matter. I'll just let the attendant go." Prince Charles waved his hand and introduced: "Peter Walters graduated from the University of Birmingham and joined BP in 1954. He has outstanding ability and outstanding performance. According to the current development track, he is very likely to be promoted to Chairman of the board of directors and CEO in a few years."

Gao Xian nodded, "thank you, your highness."

After the end of the Second World War, capitalist countries in Western Europe adopted nationalization policies one after another. Take BP as an example, the British government owns 51% of the shares.

Therefore, Prince Charles's news channel is quite credible for the promotion of senior figures of BP.

Soon, under the guidance of Prince Charles, Gao Xian met Peter Walters.

After a brief contact, Gao Xian understood why Prince Charles gave priority to contacting this person.

In short, Peter Walters has the so-called British gentlemanly demeanor, which is to the taste of the British royal family.

Peter Walters, who had heard of Gao Xian's legendary experience of winning the No. 30 oil field on Eugene Island, asked with great interest, "do you have the data of reserves and production now?"

"It is still under further analysis." Gao Xian said in a leisurely manner. "However, according to the judgment of senior people in the oil industry in the United States, Eugene Island 30 is an oil field with rich reserves, enough to produce 10000 barrels of crude oil per day."

"In addition, I just received a message that the oil produced by the No. 30 oil field on Eugene island belongs to sweet oil, and the sulfur content is only 0.3%, even lower than that of the oil field on the North Sea."

Hearing this, Peter Walters couldn't help showing envy on his face. "It's a miracle that David got such a harvest when he participated in the auction in the oil field for the first time."

"I'm really lucky." Gao Xian smiled. "Unfortunately, I don't have any professional and technical strength in the oil field, especially in subsea oil production, so I have to find partners. Compared with Royal Dutch Shell, which has made great achievements in subsea oil production technology, I prefer BP. You can guess the convenience."

Peter Walters said cunningly: "it's certainly a very good business to participate in the operation of Eugene Island No. 30 oilfield, but the North Sea Oilfield involves a lot of resources of BP. I'm afraid the response speed will be slower."

Gao Xian said playfully: "BP is busy now. It should be a good thing."

"I am also very optimistic about the prospect of Beihai oilfield, but as the current situation, because the North Sea is an important maritime channel, coupled with environmental protection, and all countries set up their own 200 nautical mile exclusive economic zone, it is inevitable to have disputes, which will affect oilfield operations."

"BP's oil business in the Middle East is facing serious challenges. Although it was lost and recovered in Iran, Libyan oil companies have been nationalized the year before last, Iraqi oil companies were nationalized last year, and nationalization of oil companies in Kuwait and Nigeria is inevitable."

At this point, Gao Xian's face showed a hint of sarcasm.

You know, after the outbreak of the fourth Middle East War, which is currently sharpening its knife, the Arab oil producing countries that have suffered losses will be anxious to cut off the transmission of oil to the West. BP's oil business in the Middle East is only Iran, but it will also be completely cool with the ouster of the pro western Iranian king in 1979.

Therefore, in Gao Xian's eyes, on the surface, it seems that BP, escorted by the British government, is not really invincible, and Peter Walters's posturing is very funny.

After a sip of tea to cover up, Gao continued: "I think it may be these reasons that have prompted BP to actively develop its operations in North America, where the situation is stable in recent years, and an oil field was discovered in Alaska in the previous years."

"It's just that it's not necessarily easier to exploit oil in polar and alpine areas than to exploit oil from the seabed."

Peter Walters, who was exposed, made a ha ha, "it seems that Gao didn't do less homework and knew BP very well."

"Doesn't this just show my sincerity for this cooperation?" Gao Xian picked up the awakened red wine and poured a glass to Prince Charles, Peter Walters and himself.

Prince Charles, a stakeholder, drummed aside and said, "in order to better operate the No. 30 oil field on Eugene Island, David has invited bush, a former Texas Congressman, the U.S. representative to the United Nations and the current chairman of the National Committee of the U.S. Communist Party, to cooperate in the United States. BP should not miss the quota outside the U.S. market."

Peter Walters finally turned from good to good: "BP is indeed actively developing business in North America. The development of David's Eugene Island No. 30 oilfield is a rare opportunity."

Seeing the list of participants in sharing the cake designed by himself, Gao Xian happily said, "cheers to cooperation!"

Seeing that the deal was facilitated by himself, Prince Charles was also very happy to agree: "cheers to cooperation!"

Peter Walters, who was slightly discouraged, put on the so-called British gentleman's demeanor, kept the formation and said, "cheers to cooperation!"
