Because the other party threw out a very hot potato when they were caught off guard-environmental protection issues, Maxim had to hold an emergency meeting of the group's top management and think tanks.

The financial director led the team to work all night last night, and took out a theoretical profit report of the oil field after rectification according to environmental protection.

Looking at the theoretical profit of about 25% on the report, Maxim was in a dilemma for a while.

If it is based on the current market price, this profit is not bad, but if the global oil price fluctuates significantly at a low level or is affected by other factors, no matter whether the production of the oil fields under the family is reduced or increased, they will The company's profits will be further compressed.

Moreover, these oil fields are still in sensitive hot spots.

Maxim also doesn't want to sell these oil fields, but since it is obviously a buyer's market and the Americans are behind the scenes, he is 20% sure that these oil fields will lose at least [-]%. Sometimes it is necessary to survive with broken arms in order to protect oneself; on the contrary, sometimes it is necessary to overcome difficulties and make great strides forward. All of them require decision makers to take all factors into consideration.

At the venue, all the participants frowned, hesitating between advancing and retreating.

Maxim knew that time wasting was not an option. The negotiation with the other party was less than an hour away, and they had to have a purpose or an attitude at this time.

Maxim pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said slowly, "This kind of profit is not bad. As long as there are no major oil problems or local armed conflicts, our group is still profitable. But energy is No one dares to guarantee [-]% the lifeline of the economy. I don’t know if you have any good suggestions.”

Andre, the chief expert of the think tank, was the first to speak: "I think we still need to figure out why the other party suddenly raised such a question when we were about to complete the contract. Haven't they thought about the issue of environmental protection before?" Is it? If I remember correctly, both of these countries are members of the Environmental Protection Council."

Before Andre could finish speaking, Boris, the group's vice chairman, couldn't help but interjected: "It must be for the sake of profit. To put it bluntly, I just don't want our oil field to go smoothly."

All the people at the scene nodded subconsciously after hearing this, so once everything involves interests, even simple things will become quite complicated.

Boris went on to say: "We have agreed too much. If we continue to retreat this time, I think we can also change the previously agreed areas, such as the direction of oil pipelines, such as crude oil ports, especially the direction of oil pipelines." , this is a very sensitive issue, if it is not handled properly, it can easily be disrupted by others.”

Maxim shook his head and rejected Boris's proposal: "Boris, your method may be usable within our capabilities. This is an international market, and there must be sufficient reasons. The other party's proposed environmental protection change From a perspective, even though it has dug a hole for us, it can still hold our ground well. If we want to deny the previous agreement, we must have a sufficient reason.”

What Maxim said was right, they had encountered a big educated hooligan this time.

……

After some discussion, everyone did not have a decision on whether to advance or retreat, and there was no way to resolve the other party's environmental protection problems.

Vladimir has been quietly listening to the speeches of these predecessors, constantly refining from them. This is a method he mastered as a writer in his previous life, just like the text and outline, with millions of words Sometimes the text can be condensed to a few thousand words or even a thousand or so words.

He also realized that everyone's speech just now was just an analysis of the situation, and there was no way to resolve it at all.

But there is one thing that everyone is quite clear about, and that is interest.

The other party wants to fight for greater interests, that's all.

"Father, I have a suggestion." When the venue was silent, Vladimir raised his hand.

When Maxim saw that it was his son who wanted to speak, he couldn't help opening his mouth slightly. He just wanted him to attend the meeting and listened to it. He had been vaccinated before. He has yet to speak.

Maxim was a little worried that his son would say some unrealistic remarks such as "just do it if you don't accept it."

Seeing that it was the future successor of the Ivan family who wanted to speak, the vice chairman Boris could not help but smile contemptuously. He was quite familiar with Maxim's child. Suffering and suffering, after adulthood, he spends all day with the rich second generation in China, he is obviously a full-fledged playboy.

Boris is considered the elder of the Ivan family. Many times he secretly compares Vladimir with Maxim's eldest son Nikolai. In his opinion, the difference between Vladimir and Nikolai is not 01: 30 points, but a thousand miles away. He really didn't understand why Maxim would designate this guy as the heir of the future family, but he looked down on the talented Nicholas at all.

Secretly, Boris showed favor to Nicholas, and Nicholas, who was secretly supported by Boris, also had the idea of ​​wanting to be the heir of the Ivan family.

"Vladimir, you are not an employee of the company. You can only be regarded as a non-voting attendant today. You have no right to speak." In order not to embarrass himself, Maxim found out such a reason.

Vladimir did not expect that the solution he finally came up with would be dismissed by his father in this way.

"Father, I am not a member of the company, but I am a member of the family. Could it be that the company is not part of the family?" Vladimir retorted.

"Vladimir, listen quietly. We don't have time to discuss here. Let's try not to express our opinions in the afternoon meeting. It's best to delay it for a few days until we return from the Philippines." Maxim Decided to put this matter on hold for the time being.

"Father." Vladimir felt that he was belittled and ignored, but after he just called out the title "Father", he heard Maxim's decision to "end the meeting".

Vladimir was very puzzled. His father's behavior seemed to be preparing to train him as a future successor. Who expected the critical moment, but unceremoniously deprived himself of the right to speak.

After the meeting ended, Maxim did not come to talk to him, but took the group's top management to the meeting room directly.

Vladimir didn't even want to go to the meeting room to participate in the meeting, but Uncle Boris chatted with him very enthusiastically. As a last resort, he could only bite the bullet and walked into the meeting room.

In the conference room of the seven-star hotel in London, American consultants in suits and leather shoes and people from the Middle East were already waiting there.

After a seemingly enthusiastic but secretly hidden knife contact between the two parties, they went straight to the point.

Environmental protection is still an environmental issue.

At this time, Vladimir discovered that this negotiation was full of intense gunpowder.
