Chapter 404 The Heir of the Texas Consortium

The reception was held at the Jiang Hotel in Houston. The Jiang Hotel Group has now become a multinational hotel group. In the United States, there are a total of ten five-star hotels including Jiang Hotel in New York, Jiang Hotel in Los Angeles, and Jiang Hotel in Houston. Most of the items served are Chinese cuisine. However, because the guests they face are Americans, they have changed their tastes.

However, the reception held by Jiangfeng this time was served with authentic Chinese cuisine, and it was authentic Jiangzhou cuisine.

Those who attended the reception were all famous economic celebrities in the United States, such as Bill Gates, Larry Ellison, Larry Page, Sergey Brin and others, all on the invitation list. Of course, Jack McKesson, the vice president of the Texas consortium, was among these people.

When Jiang Feng dealt with Bill Gates and others and came to Jack McKissson and others, Jack McKissson raised this question: "Dear Mr. Jiang, can our Texas consortium acquire the billion barrels of oil in Sri Lanka?"

"This may be difficult." Jiang Feng replied with a frown, "Our Jiang Consortium does not intend to sell these billion barrels of oil, but plans to set up a company to mine the oil itself."

"Why? Does Mr. Jiang think that these billion barrels of oil are enough to support an oil company? If so, I would like to advise Mr. Jiang to make more considerations. If you want to set up a world-class oil company, a field with a reserve of billion barrels of crude oil is far from enough. However, if it is sold to our Texas consortium, it will be completely different." Jack McKesson asked, "And once Mr. Jiang sells these crude oils to the Texas consortium in return, we can provide Jiang with a preferential loan, such as $500 million or more, for Jiang's development, such as building roads in South Africa."

Before, the cooperation reached by Jiang Feng and South Africa has caused a great response worldwide. Many people are privately mocking Jiang Feng for being stupid. Jack McKesson also understands this cooperation, and he is even one of the many people who mocked Jiang Feng.

Jack McKisson knew that the cooperation was very expensive and the investment return cycle was very long. Therefore, Jiang may encounter a funding bottleneck in his future development. Now he promised to provide Jiang's preferential loans, which is a very good suggestion. He put such a large amount of money in front of Jiang Feng. I think he had no reason to object.

However, Jiang Feng's should obviously be beyond his expectations.

"Mr. McKisson was joking. Jiang has no plans to find channels for financing or loans for the time being." Jiang Feng said with a smile. "Jiang is very healthy in finance and has enough funds to establish a new company. Perhaps, we, Jiang, can have other cooperation. For example, with our newly established oil company, we can achieve cross-holding with oil companies under the Texas Consortium."

Then Jiang Feng said again: "In fact, Jiang's main purpose is to introduce advanced technology so that the soon-to-be-established oil companies have stronger competitiveness and participate in international market competition. Therefore, we hope to get some help in oil exploration and development."

Jiang Feng said this sentence to Halliburton, a subsidiary of the Texas Consortium.

Halliburton's original history originated in 1919. Adventurer Erler Halliburton founded the New Method Oil Ground Private Company in Ohiolahoma, USA. At the same time, the Brown Brothers George and Herman and his cousin Lute jointly established the Brown Lute Partnership in Texas, USA.

By 1957, Eller Halliburton had established 201 offices in 22 states across the United States and 20 countries around the world. Five years later, in 1962, when Herman died, Halliburton also acquired Brown Loot Partnership in the same year. At that time, Brown Loot Partnership had grown into a well-known road construction company and general contractor, and in 1947 it built the world's first offshore platform.

In 1998, Halliburton merged with Jueser Industrial Co., Ltd., a provider of comprehensive services and project management in the oil and gas industry. It was founded by the inventor Solomon Jueser in 1880. He started the oil field product manufacturing business with his own spherical packaging patent. After the prosperous period of oil exploration and development in the first half of the 20th century, Jueser Industrial Co., Ltd. grew up to be a major product and service provider in the energy industry. In 1988, Jueser acquired Kolog, a pipeline manufacturing company founded by Morris Kolog in 1900. Kolog created oil refining and petrochemical processing technology and built corresponding facilities based on these technologies. After the merger with Jueser, Halliburton also obtained Kolog's skills accordingly.

It can be seen that Halliburton has achieved unprecedented developments through internal growth and external acquisitions since its establishment in 1919. The main acquisitions include the overall purchase of Brown Root in 1962, which developed its engineering and construction business; the purchase of Jueser Industrial in 1998, which developed its comprehensive services, project management, petroleum refining and chemical processing, technology, engineering and construction business.

By 2001, Halliburton's global revenue reached US$13 billion. Of course, in the process, Halliburton was constantly adjusting its company's positioning and business strategy, including a large number of asset sales and business divestitures.

For example, since 1962, Halliburton has made three major adjustments in its organization and overall business to adapt to new management challenges after business expansion, adaptability to environmental changes and overall business process comprehensive requirements. The company has successively sold its non-core businesses, such as insurance companies and communications companies, to strengthen core businesses and strengthen service integration.

The current company's business structure is formed based on its latest restructuring. In March 2002, Halliburton completed a new round of strategic restructuring, dividing its entire business into two parts, namely Halliburton Energy Services Group and Kbr Group. These are two independent and relatively independent of Halliburton headquarters. Halliburton has 100% ownership. The two major groups after the reorganization can better strengthen their respective businesses globally and effectively compete with their peers, thereby enhancing Halliburton's ability to achieve long-term sustained growth and profitability.

Halliburton Energy Services Group provides a wide range of products and services to oil and gas upstream customers around the world, including drilling and other wellbore tool manufacturing, completion tool manufacturing, to subsea engineering and flexible pipeline manufacturing. Halliburton Energy Services Group owns Halliburton Energy Services, Landmark Drawing Company, and has joint ventures Bredero-shaw, ure, well dynamics and Halliburton Undersea Co., Ltd. Kbr, namely the Engineering Construction Group, serves the midstream and downstream of the energy industry, including the design and construction of liquefied natural gas plants, refining and processing plants, production facilities, onshore and subsea pipelines. At the same time, it is also engaged in non-energy engineering construction, including government-invested public facilities and civil commercial facilities. Kbr is under government management, infrastructure, onshore management, offshore management, and operation and maintenance branches.

Halliburton positioned itself as a provider of services in the energy industry. It does not own exploration mining areas, does not own mining rights, and does not own oil and gas, but can provide services in every link of the energy chain, especially in all links of the oil and gas chain. It has not only transformed from an oil field technical service and engineering construction company to a comprehensive energy service company, but also uses its strong technical strength, information technology and network to achieve comprehensive and real-time services, greatly improving service efficiency and market competitiveness.

Although Jiang Feng does not really lack technology, being able to win over some such companies can also play a role in confusing the public. Otherwise, his new technologies will appear one by one, and it is difficult to guarantee that some people will not see some problems.

In fact, Jiang's Group has been targeted by many people now because it has launched too many new technologies, especially in the high-tech fields such as cars, computers and telephones, which are released one by one.

The outstanding performance of the Jiang family consortium in the past two years has made many European and American forces jealous. Recently, the Jiang family consortium's R&D department has caught many spies sent by Europe and the United States. However, after being caught, these people have completely disappeared. Jiang Feng has not yet planned to fight with the old European and American forces openly stubbornly, so he can only quietly eliminate these special people who want to spy on the secrets of the Jiang family consortium.

After hearing Jiang Feng's words, Jack McKisson discovered a problem. The young man in front of him was very different from the many Chinese people he met. He seemed not very interested in introducing funds, but paid more attention to introducing technology. This was really an unexpected discovery.

But in this way, your plan will change.

Moreover, Jack McKisson also found that he did not know enough about Jiang. It seemed that after he went back, he had to find someone to investigate Jiang's situation. Only by knowing himself and his opponents could he win every battle. He took a sip of the wine in the glass, and then his eyes lit up, and he discovered that a beauty who thought she looked very elegant came over.

"Xiaofeng, you have your new documents sent by the domestic headquarters." Zhou Yijun whispered to Jiang Feng, who was drinking with the guests.

"Well, I'll go and see, you'll be here to accompany them." Jiang Feng nodded, then left the table.

Zhou Yijun greeted everyone present, and asked everyone to have a meal at will. He arranged for the kitchen to quickly serve Jiangzhou's special dishes so that these foreigners who had never seen Chinese food could taste it.

Since Jack McKisson saw Zhou Yijun, his eyes became a little dull, or like an iron nail sucked by a magnet, turning with Zhou Yijun's figure.
