Oh, almost all men.
Okay, so into this... Into this sea of men... Walks whom?
Walks Wanda Jablonski, who is this petite blonde woman with big eyes, very elegant, very put-together...
and she knew basically everybody in the room.
Wanda Jablonski was the most powerful woman in the international oil world for decades.
It was considered the Bible of the oil industry.
The Bible of the oil industry.
It was printed on this very thin, at the time called Bible paper, so that it could be mailed, airmail, for the lowest cost.
And so that it could be folded and fit into a man's suit jacket pocket.
And she would go around to any meeting she had with oil folks, and she would slip this into their jacket pocket.
This was where Wanda actually was so useful and helpful to many of these young sheikhs and leaders in learning about the economics of oil, learning about the secrets, the mysteries, actually, of how these seven sisters were running the show.
And the oil ministers of the countries that produce that oil?
Are just furious because they've not been notified of this cut in the price of oil, which means their royalties are going to go down.
And frustrated with that and the fact they know.
Thanks to reading Wanda Jablonski's articles that they're really losing out on a lot of the profits that the oil companies are pocketing.
They want to do something about it.
And she introduces the two of them.
As she said, they would have met anyway, but she introduces the two of them, and in the stories that she would tell, it would be either over, she'd say that it would be either over Coke or over whiskey, depending on her audience.
It was a James Bond atmosphere.
