Rockefeller will not let the enemy fend for himself, in the current stage of Rockefeller's dictionary, there is no word "forgiveness", people who dare to provoke Rockefeller have become Rockefeller's stepping stones, Standard Oil is established under the premise that Rockefeller continues to annex opponents.
The Dutch dare to set up Shell oil, it does not necessarily mean that the Dutch are ready to face Rockefeller's revenge, perhaps the Dutch are lucky, and do not think that Rockefeller will pay attention to Shell oil, which is far from threatening Standard Oil, but since Rockefeller came to the Far East, then it also clearly shows Rockefeller's attitude, if Li Mu guessed correctly, now the Dutch must also have a headache, how to deal with the pressure brought by Rockefeller.
Speaking of which, Shell Oil should have appeared in 1907, is a group of multinational oil companies jointly formed by the Royal Dutch Petroleum Company and the British Shell Transport and Trading Co., Ltd., but there is no problem with this, after all, there is no Junma Group in another time and space, and the appearance of Li Mu has changed the fate of many people.
"The oil that the Dutch found is in Traghaside, according to the information we got before, the Dutch don't seem to have found the real oil well, but since there are oil seedlings on the surface, it is only a matter of time before the oil well is found, so it is actually very simple to solve the problem, I heard that it is an American company that helps the Dutch find oil, I think, we can think of a way in this regard."
Compared with Rockefeller, Li Mu's method is relatively mild, if the problem can be solved peacefully, then Li Mu will not be a killer, in this regard, Li Mu has a bottom line, and Rockefeller is completely different.
"I know that company, don't worry, if you rely on that company, the Dutch will never find oil, but I don't care about the progress of the Dutch now, since there are definitely oil fields in Sumatra, then why can't these oil fields belong to Standard Oil" Rockefeller is really ruthless enough, not only to fight Shell, but also to snatch the oil fields in Shell's hands together.
Rockefeller has always wanted to open up the Far East market, compared with the United States and Europe, the market size of the Far East is even better, although the Far East is now unable to sell much gasoline because of a few cars, but because of the huge population base of the Far East, the demand for lamp oil must be very high.
Previously, Standard Oil's lamp oil sold in the Far East was shipped from the United States, because of the long distance, the cost of lamp oil increased greatly, which led to the lack of competitiveness of lamp oil, and the market reaction was not strong enough, which made Rockefeller always regret, so Rockefeller would actively invest in the Far East Company, hoping to find oil fields in Luzon and produce lamp oil nearby for sale in the Far East, which will become a new profit growth point for Standard Oil.
It turned out that Rockefeller's oil exploration in Luzon had found nothing, but the Dutch had discovered oil in Sumatra, which made Rockefeller very angry, and the consequences would be serious.
"What do you want to do Tragasside has been bought by the Dutch, and it is estimated that the Dutch will not transfer it until they get enough returns."
Li Mu knew Rockefeller's character, and he also knew what Rockefeller would probably do, and soon, someone would be unlucky.
"Hehe, it's okay, just wait and see, we just need to be a little more patient."
Rockefeller is not in a hurry, there will always be opportunities.
Li Mu has always believed that treating enemies should be as ruthless as the autumn wind sweeping away leaves, and it is obvious that Rockefeller also thinks so.
On the third day after Li Mu and Rockefeller arrived in Luzon, a vicious incident occurred on Sumatra, in which a drilling team conducting oil exploration on Sumatra was attacked by local natives, killing more than 80 people, including three local guides and more than 20 armed gunmen, including the owner of the newly established Shell Oil Company, Ek Zikel.
This kind of thing, in fact, is very normal, more than 17,000 islands in the Dutch East Indies, most of the islands are in an undeveloped state, even a few populous major islands, there are a lot of land that has not yet been set foot in, such as the tragedy occurred in Sumatra, there are many indigenous people on the islands are still in a primitive state of ignorance, they do not have contact with strangers at all, unwilling to change their status quo, if someone accidentally intrudes into their territory, then they are often greeted by poisoned arrows and javelins.
This result is not surprising, the Dutch are no longer the "coachmen of the sea", even in the days when the Dutch were all over the world, the Dutch were never known for their military force, to put it bluntly, the Dutch were not capable of controlling the entire Dutch East Indies, and even now, the Dutch have to rely on the cooperation of the local sultan to barely maintain their rule.
Ironically, when the Dutch occupied the Dutch East Indies, it was with the cooperation of the Chinese "Kapitan" that the Dutch gained a firm foothold, and then, in order to eliminate the influence of the Chinese "Kapitan", the Dutch began to target the Chinese in the Dutch East Indies, and from the 16th century onwards, the Dutch committed no less crimes against the Chinese in the Dutch East Indies than the Spaniards in Luzon.
In the aftermath of the tragedy, a three-day investigation by the Dutch colonial government ended in a series of violent cases, including one in which the victim was the local sultan who sold Tragasside to Shell Oil.
Only a week later, the Dutch colonial government sent people to Manila to find Rockefeller.
Rockefeller's estate where the former governor of Luzon lived received representatives of the Dutch colonial government, a baron also named Reem.
Well, perhaps it is for this reason that Li Mu became Rockefeller's companion.
"Mr.
Reem, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Fortunately, Baron Ream was not too embarrassed when he greeted Li Mu.
"What a coincidence, Lord Baron, to tell you the truth, you are the first man I have met named Reem."
Li Mu is a little bit, but it doesn't matter, white names are like this, the probability of duplicate names is amazing, the name Riem is quite good, and the talents called Mike and Henry are sad.
In fact, there are many people in the United States who call Rim now, especially in the Chinese community, many people are willing to take the name "Reem" as their second name to express their gratitude to Li Mu.
Rockefeller prepared Chinese food for the reception of Baron Ream, and those who know Luzon know that Luzon is now a country with Chinese as the main body, everything related to Chinese is popular in this country, the shops on the street have begun to use Chinese, the number of Chinese restaurants has increased significantly, and even the Luzon government is considering Chinese as the official language of Luzon, so it is a good choice to taste Chinese food in Luzon.
The dinner was divided into meals, and the dishes were not the main part of the dinner, and Baron Ream made his intention officially known not long after he took his seat.
"Mr.
President, you know that recently in the Dutch East Indies, there has been a series of appalling cases of violence, Mr.
Governor is very concerned about this, and the results of the investigation into this series of violent cases show that the cause of the violence may be because of the oil on the island of Sumatra, so, in order to eliminate the violence, in order to restore the tranquility of the East Indies, a strong professional is needed to put an end to all this, then Mr.
President, are you interested in oil in Sumatra" Li Mu didn't know how aggrieved Baron Rim should have felt when he said this, anyway, if it was Li Mu, Li Mu would probably not be able to speak.
Li Mu doesn't know what the results of the investigation of this series of cases in the Dutch East Indies are, as long as you know a little about Rockefeller, you will know that Rockefeller is the biggest suspect, Baron Riem has a very clear meaning, hoping to hand over the oil fields on Sumatra Island to Rockefeller to end this farce, which is equivalent to the surrender of the Dutch East Indies to Rockefeller, and people with a little temper may not be so weak.
It is a pity that the Dutch East Indies colonial government is so weak in the face of trust enterprises like Standard Oil, don't think how backbone the Dutch are, this is also a colonial country that is declining, the end of intransigence is obvious, the Spaniards of the Luzon colonial government are the best example, the situation in the Netherlands is not much better than Spain, so, in front of Rockefeller, Baron Ream is destined to not stand up.
For example, the Dutch know that the U.S. government will not declare war on the Netherlands now, but Standard Oil can be unscrupulous in the Dutch East Indies, and the Dutch are also well aware of this.
It is very simple to stop this unscrupulousness, the Dutch East Indies colonial government knows very well that Rockefeller's men must be wandering around Sumatra, if the Dutch East Indies colonial government has enough strength to find out Rockefeller's men and annihilate them directly, then it will interrupt Rockefeller's black hand extended to the Sumatra oil fields, the problem is that the Dutch East Indies colonial government can't do it, so the Dutch can only bow to Rockefeller, so that at least they can get the due taxes.
In the face of money, no one is qualified to be tough.
"Oh, is there oil on Kalimantan Of course, I'm interested."
Rockefeller's expression was sincere, but what he said was also hateful.
"It's Sumatra."
Baron Riem looked at Rockefeller with a rather unkind gaze.
But this is useless, even if Baron Riem gritted his teeth and looked hideous, it could not change the fact that the Dutch were helpless against Rockefeller, in the face of Rockefeller such a "robber tycoon", if there is not enough strength, then it is better to remain modest, otherwise, Rockefeller will let you know that the rumors are true.
"Okay, Sumatra, it's all the same, I only care about whether there is oil or not, and I only care about oil, don't worry, as long as you hand over the oil field to me, if anyone dares to deliberately find fault, I will make his mother not recognize him."

Rockefeller no longer pretended, and this was a warning to the Dutch.
Now that the Shell oil company has not found oil, the Dutch dare to challenge Rockefeller's standard oil, and when the drilling team sent by Rockefeller finds oil, there may be some kind of trouble, and Rockefeller also gave the Dutch a preventive shot first, so as not to cause troubles in the future.
"Of course, we believe that you have the ability, Mr.
President."
Baron Reem's face was ugly, and after saying this, Baron Reem hurriedly ended the dinner under the pretext of being unwell.
It's time to go, continue to stay, it's a torture for the Dutch, whether it's the arrogant Rockefeller, or the lively Li Mu on the sidelines, they are very annoying in the eyes of the Dutch.
"Ha, it looks like we're not welcome."
When Baron Reem walked away, Li Mu raised his glass with a smile.
To tell the truth, Rockefeller's means made Li Mu also an eye-opener, Li Mu only now realized that a powerful trust enterprise, in this era how unscrupulous it is to do things, in the past, Li Mu sometimes does things will look forward and backward, and will take care of face, Rockefeller made the best example for Li Mu, face or anything is trivial, the strength is absolutely superior, there is no need to beat around the bush.
"It's right to be unpopular, if the Dutch welcome us, it means they've got us to eat, it's best now, they don't like me, but they have to bow their heads in front of me, and I think that's going to impress the Dutch for a long time to come."
Rockefeller is not ashamed but proud, many things, to put it bluntly, are so boring, how to scold the street in front of the face, as long as the result is good, the process can be ignored.
The next thing was logical, and at noon the next day, Baron Ream signed a contract with Rockefeller on behalf of the Dutch East Indies colonial government, and Rockefeller spent only $1.5 million to obtain the right to explore for oil throughout the Dutch East Indies.
If Rockefeller can find oil in the Dutch East Indies, then Rockefeller will have to pay taxes in accordance with the relevant laws of the Dutch East Indies when producing oil, which Rockefeller does not object, anyway, as long as Rockefeller is willing, how much tax will be paid at that time, or Rockefeller has the final say, Standard Oil also has a huge financial department and legal department, and those people exist for this.
Li Mu is not without benefits at all, at the same time that Rockefeller signed an agreement with the Dutch East Indies colonial government, Li Mu also learned about the laws of the Dutch East Indies colonial government by the way, and Li Mu found that as long as Li Mu is willing, Li Mu can buy islands in the Dutch East Indies, and the price is quite low, which makes Li Mu very happy.
Li Mu doesn't care about oil, for Li Mu, if he wants oil, there are many oil fields in his memory, Li Mu still attaches importance to land, and only land is worthy of Li Mu's attention
