(much to my relief)

Like I was mentioning for couple times, - I was working like a Responsible for Central and Eastern Europe Marketing Department of Partex CPS. After leaving for “private sector”, in a couples of years, this firm (created in 1924, after the WWI), - cease to exist. I have been detailed during the last decades, to describing all the reasons of “why this happen”. The way, that such big intellectual heritage, by some hand, was simply lie-out. So what, if the bulk of all political, human and economical reasons were big? So was the Hitler… This case only gives us the result. Which is, - ‘not strange to see me presently only like an emotional and financial wreck’. It’s secondary if I still seeing ‘who’s there just for a good times’. Also, not important how’s life come since the Partex CPS. Important is the striking similarities between the Partex CPS and the BP. Personally, - I have one word for you. Feed-up. And to put an end in this entire situation, that are killing me, that is bothering me for 15 years, that is a Total unemploy. I’ll opt by speak my mind, - I need the at least 115 000 of Great British Pounds per year in a “naked form”. Without the famous by-the-side “arrangements”. Without the “ver se tira cartola ou nao o respeitoso Senhor Barroso”. Let’s be honest, - this kind of the opening-up in the career opportunity, (much to my relief), are setting me actually to a plum position, which is at least quite decent.

PetroChina open to closer ties with BP. (AFP) – 1 hour ago. 12/07/2010 07:13:32. BEIJING — Chinese oil giant PetroChina has said it would "welcome" closer ties with BP as the British energy group battles to contain the massive oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico, a report said Monday. Mao Zefeng, head of investor relations at PetroChina, told the Financial Times that the company's first reaction to BP's problems in the Gulf of Mexico was to see how it could "help BP to quickly fix the problem". "We contacted them to see if there is anything we can help with in terms of engineering or technical help," Mao said. The official declined to discuss possible financial assistance, saying: "We have no comment on market rumours. But if there was some opportunity to work more closely together, we would welcome that." Mao and other officials at PetroChina were not immediately available to comment on the report. Chinese energy companies have this year invested billions of dollars on overseas acquisitions, including a deal by China's top refiner Sinopec in April to acquire a stake in a Canadian oil sands project for 4.65 billion dollars. PetroChina -- which is listed in New York, Hong Kong and Shanghai -- said in May that it would invest 60 billion dollars abroad over the next decade in order to secure much-needed resources to fuel China's red-hot economy. BP acquired a stake in PetroChina when it went public in 2000. In 2004, it sold those shares, which at the time accounted for a two percent equity stake, according to statements from the two companies. The two firms have a joint venture to operate petrol stations in the southern province of Guangdong. The Financial Times said PetroChina was unlikely to make a full bid for BP due to political considerations but could invest in further joint ventures.

BP is due to the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and struck the resulting, almost as predictable costs. Therefore, it is speculated in recent weeks about a takeover of the group. In early July was reported from circles that BP with numerous state funds, including Abu Dhabi, Kuwait, Qatar and Singapore, have talked about an alliance to fend off a takeover. Meanwhile, BP's engineers are trying to stop a new start in the swirling eleven weeks since the oil well in the Gulf of Mexico.

In a first step, the technician dismantled to another container on the leak, which had been at least part of the raw oil collected. As a result, the crude oil currently flowing unimpeded into the sea completely. The experts expressed cautious optimism. "We are pleased, as it precedes," said BP's top manager Kent Wells. The whole operation should be between four and last seven days. "
