Exxon Mobil
"I'm rich"
~John D. Cluckafeller after hitting an oil deposit under the road
Exxon Mobil is the direct effect of the Chicken Crossing the Road incident. After tunneling under the road, the chicken John D. Cluckafeller hit an oil-rich deposit, and began to expand to drill under the road (much to the dismay of regular commuters of the highway). After news spread of Cluckafeller's discovery, other companies began to prop up on the road, permanently shutting it down. However, Cluckafeller prevailed, and bought out the rest of his competitors, forming the Standard Toil company.
Standard Toil[edit | edit source]
After buying out all of his competitors, Cluckafeller created the Standard Toil company, the predecessor to Exxon Mobil. Thanks to its strategic position on The Road, Cluckafeller could easily expand his company throughout the globe, and controlled over 67.3% of the world's oil deposits. However, Standard's monopoly wouldn't last long, as many countries began creating anti-trust laws to break up the Standard company. This lead to the rise of Exxon (no Mobil yet).
Rise of Exxon[edit | edit source]
Exxon was the first branch of Cluckafeller's new company. By now, he was over 72 years old, so he passed on control of the company to his son, Josephi Cluckafeller. Under Josephi's rule, the Exxon company broke itself up into smaller companies. However, these companies were all owned and operated by Exxon, meaning that the company hadn't changed since its Standard days. This "new era" of the company ushered in more profits than John Cluckafeller could imagine. However, he passed away shortly after the profit spike. Exxon was rapidly expanding throughout the world once again, and insured a near-total monopoly on all oil production.
Introduction of Mobil[edit | edit source]
Josephi Cluckafeller was in declining health when his son, Jean-Claude Verquis Montpierre-Cluckafeller, took control of the company. Jean-Claude opened up the Exxon company to the newly-created gasoline market, hence the introduction of the company Mobil (who provided gas transport services for Exxon).
