家园 我看到尚未放出来的帖子,忍不住手痒下场抬杠

北纬老兄的帖子关于珍珠的说法应该是正确的,这里有解释:https://sage-answers.com/why-did-the-pearling-industry-began-to-decline-in-kuwait/

Why did the early profession of pearl fishing began to decline?

The Gulf pearl industry began plummeting in the 1920s. It further declined by the late 1920s and early 1930s. By that time, the Japanese had found a way to make flawless artificial pearls. This was the main reason for the decline of the pearling industry.

但是,对石油的说法不够准确。根据科威特石油官网的说法:https://www.kockw.com/sites/EN/Pages/Profile/whoAreWe/KOC-History.aspx

In 1934, the Kuwait Oil Company Limited was established by the Anglo-Persian Company, which was a joint venture between the British Petroleum Company, now known as British Petroleum (BP) and Gulf Oil Corporation, now known as Chevron Corporation.

再查一下,这家“Anglo-Persian Company”,就是现在BP的前身,见这里:https://www.britannica.com/topic/BP-PLC

所以北纬说的“P代表的是波斯”是对的,错的是最早的时候应该叫AP,不叫BP,虽然是同一家公司。

而科威特石油公司,是这家AP跟雪佛兰1934年合资成立,他们在1938年发现了石油,官网没说是不是求助于美孚,我猜应该不用吧,毕竟这家合资公司本来就可以做勘探,要是我猜,历史的真相可能是英国工程师认为找不到,美国的工程师说可以试一下,不一定有什么政治动机。

此外,我猜,这个合资公司是酋长请过来的,正常讲,三方应该会谈好价钱,最后在1975年顺利国有化,没有发生革命事件。

通宝推:翼德,
