Chapter 677: 233, Baku Oil Field_3 Chapter 677: 233, Baku Oil Field_3 Albert Furr spoke to Donnie with an air of mystery.
Donnie leaned on the sofa, gently tapping on the tabletop.
This was indeed a big deal, but did he need to get involved?
If doing so could land him a share of an overseas oil field, it would provide a qualitative boost to Donnie’s oil business.
However, the issues involved were too numerous, especially since the United States and the Soviet Union’s relationship over the coming decades could not guarantee his profits from the oil field.
Yet, if he did not try, Donnie felt it would be a tremendous waste.
“Albert, my friend, I greatly appreciate you sharing this information with me.
I will seriously consider it!”
In the end, Donnie still did not provide a definite answer, as the unpredictability of the situation was too great!
Albert Furr said nothing more about Donnie’s response.
By sharing this news, he was simply repaying the favor for the half a million US Dollars from Donnie.
As for whether Donnie would be interested in the matter, that was entirely up to him.
After Albert Furr left, Donnie called over his core team to disclose the news and solicit their opinions on the matter.
There were different attitudes among them regarding the situation.
John was the first to state his view, “Since there’s money to be made, why not go for it?
As for other issues, they’re just problems to be solved as we encounter them.
Could we really give up the profits at hand just because of potential problems that might arise?”
Robert, on the other hand, expressed his opposition, “You can’t see it that way.
First of all, this involves matters outside of the United States, and it’s a rising superpower.
Considering the ideological differences between both sides, I believe that the confrontation between these two countries will become the leitmotif in certain domains.
So, if we get involved with this country’s affairs now, will it be good or bad for us in the end?
Besides, such an investment would certainly be massive.
Again, if this matter gets entangled with factors beyond our business, our investment could very likely end up being a total loss.”
Kafe Jackson had his own thoughts, “To do or not to do this thing, in my opinion, is a matter of two possibilities.
But if we decide to go ahead, there are several things we must ascertain first.
For starters, we don’t have connections there yet.
Even domestically, Pandora Oil Company is only a medium-sized oil company, plus we haven’t been established for long.
Will they believe that we have the capability to handle this affair?
Next, we also need to understand the views of the top levels in the United States, United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union regarding this matter.
I believe that once this news goes public, there will be no shortage of oil companies wanting to join in.
At that time, will the upper echelons of these three countries support or oppose this matter?
If we can’t investigate all these issues thoroughly, and we rashly join in, it’s very likely we’ll just end up as cannon fodder!”
Support, oppose, neutral!
With just a few people, basically all the opinions that Donnie might consider regarding this matter were brought up.
Donnie was quite troubled by the situation.
After thinking for a bit, he decided it was best to investigate the situation there thoroughly first.
Then Donnie’s gaze began to sweep over the people, finally resting on Magichi.
“Magichi, fancy a taste of vodka?”
Magichi was stunned for a moment, “You mean go to the Soviet Union?”
Donnie nodded, “As they said, we have no connections in the Soviet Union and don’t know the specific situation there.
So, I hope you can go there.
It doesn’t matter if you can make connections with the people there or not.
What’s most important is to investigate the situation there thoroughly!’
Since they couldn’t currently confirm the situation, the best course was to send someone there to investigate.
Magichi was one of the earliest to follow him out from Elwood Village and had always been low-profile.
While Chris had begun to control thousands in United States Logistics, Magichi was still just the manager of the security department of Surf Hotel.
Donnie was very confident in Magichi’s loyalty, which is why he never complained about his situation!
“Alright, but when should I leave?”
Donnie replied, “The sooner, the better. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ N(o)vᴇl(F)ire.nᴇt
Although the information has not yet spread, if Albert Furr could share it with us, it’s possible others know too.
We’re not in an advantageous position on this matter, so we need to act more quickly!”
Magichi nodded, “Alright, I’ll prepare this afternoon and leave tomorrow morning!”
Donnie said to Robert, “Prepare some cash for Magichi, and find two reliable men, skilled and loyal, to accompany him there.”
It was then that Kafe Jackson suggested, “Boss, should we use your connections in the White House to arrange some contacts for Magichi in advance?”
Donnie dismissed the idea with a wave, “Not for now.
As I said, if we know, I believe others are likely aware as well.
Perhaps they have already begun to act.
If we go to someone from the White House, they might very well inform others, which could inadvertently impact Magichi’s operation in the Soviet Union.”
Kafe Jackson nodded in understanding.
Donnie continued to Magichi, “Remember what I said, it’s better to connect with people there, but if you can’t, it doesn’t matter.
I just need to know the specific situation over there.”
Magichi nodded, “Understood!”
