We actually tried to give away major oil rights to the Swedes 35 years ago, in exchange for 40% of Volvo, but the Swedes refused.
So we ended up pumping up the oil ourselves and invested it in a giant oil fund. This oil fund is now the second biggest owner of Volvo.
Thank you Sweden for not accepting the offer :)
