Chapter 100 Pork Game.
He is now less and less concerned about the film company. There is a big ship at the bottom, as long as the waves are not too outrageous, there will be no problem at all.
This time, it is also the first big production after the film company's restructuring, otherwise, he may not care.
"Damn, John Bull is crazy? They're all losing money themselves, and they want to buy Amoco?
By the way, what is the valuation given by Da Mo?"
"Three and five billion, the American knife, judging from the current price, is obviously a bit high. However, it cannot be said that there is no sincerity. If it weren't for the huge loss, it wouldn't have been bought at this price. ”
William White, of course, knew he couldn't buy it, and it was not only the largest supplier of natural gas in North America, but also the largest oil company in the Midwest.
If that's all there is to it, William White may not have any must-win intentions. However, it still has a large area in the Gulf of Mexico, which is really mouthwatering.
"Da Mo will provide financing, who else?"
"From what we've learned, Goldman Sachs and Citi have also provided guaranteed credit. According to BP's business situation, they will use high leverage to buy. ”
"Crazy, completely crazy, hiss, this is not right, how do I feel, this is a behind-the-scenes deal?"
Filson nodded, agreeing with William White. For no other reason, now Exxon and Mobil are also losing money, both of which have begun to hook up, how can Amoco be an isolated incident.
You know, Exxon, Mobil, Amoco, the previous lives of these three, all of them were Standard Oil.
If you want to talk about acquisitions, of course, it is only appropriate to merge these three companies, which was originally disconnected, and now at this time, the group is warm, what is there to make a fuss about.
It must be, Shell and BP will be very dissatisfied, if you hug each other, this is a proper double strong standard. The second, third, plus a piece, is not your opponent either.
Everyone is a global giant, so don't talk about the United Kingdom. As long as there is a business, it can be sold anywhere.
William White understood, this is a game of pork. And he, apparently, was treated differently.
That's annoying, bastard, what are you putting me for? White oil or not ranked, he William White is not.
Just last year, he tried to buy a polypropylene plant. Good guys, now quietly, directly planning to cheap John Bull.
Amoco is not simple, and it is not only the largest supplier of natural gas to the country. There is also the largest petrochemical complex in the Midwest.
It has its own oil wells, its own oil pipelines, its own refineries, and a huge chemical plant.
By buying this guy, White Oil will be able to get rid of the shackles. Don't worry about running out of capacity and don't worry about sales. As long as this resource is integrated, he will be one of the three giants of the United States.
Well, it could also be the fourth, it doesn't matter, as long as it takes time, the first three are certain.
"It's a great company and my parent's business, and knowing that they're going through a difficult situation, I'm very sorry and I hope it stays in Texas if I can.
This year's employment is not very good, if it is the kind of hostile takeover......"
"Mr. White, are you saying that John Bull will make a hostile takeover?" The reporter is naturally not afraid of big things, and when he finally seizes the opportunity, he naturally wants to make trouble.
"I didn't say that, don't hurt me. William White shrugged, that means, John Bull is full of malice, I don't have it convenient to say, you know.
"As far as I know, they don't have more than 500 million on their accounts, and this acquisition could have been a rumor in the first place. Although I don't have 35 billion, I still have 20 billion in cash.
Ahem, your eyeballs are put in first, this is live TV, don't scare children. ”
Seeing that the eyes of this thing were bulging, William White wasted no time in making a joke.
"Two billion?"
"I'm not kidding, in fact, just now, we discussed this plan. Yes, we decided to join the fray. ”
There was a loud bang, and in the chairman's office at the BP building in London, there was a series of shrill curses.
William White was such a bastard, even though he was only stating a fact.
Yes, your own business is not running well, to put it mildly, whether you can survive this hurdle is really two words.
White Oil is a good little guy, and the boss behind him is a dirt bun. Listen to it, two billion dollars in cash, bastard, with this money in hand, if you operate it, you will buy BP backhandedly.
Don't be unconvinced, the chances of success are very high. The only thing to be afraid of is nothing more than the review of government departments.
If the desert tyrant buys it, John Bull can come up with many ways to destroy. A sentence of national energy security, no matter how much money you have, it is useless. Against the US imperialists, it is not so simple.
It is really difficult to say when the price of oil will improve if the price of oil continues to be depressed. If it drags on for a long time, you have just made a successful acquisition here, and it won't be long before William White buys you backhand.
To be honest, it is really not too easy to have 20 billion in your hand and find a way to raise 50 billion. In fact, BP's acquisition of Amoco requires almost 10 times leverage.
Look, the gap is obvious. At the very least, it would be a fool's dream to buy Amoco cheaply.
"Look, I'll just say something is going to happen. It's useless for them to curry favor, this world has long been different.
Petersberg's members, let alone influence the economy and politics, they are reluctant to even control oil prices. Buffett, who has nothing to do with himself, is spitting venom frantically, and Greenspan, who is sitting opposite, is not in a good mood.
Whether John Bull will succeed or not, he doesn't care, whether ExxonMobil can merge or not, he doesn't care. However, with 20 billion cash in hand, William White can't even pay attention to it.
It seems that the Rockefellers are indeed old. If some changes are not made, this kind of joke will still happen.
Do you want to buy Mobil?
There is also a sign next to it, which was taken away by BP, and may be bought back one day. In the hands of William White, there is basically no possibility.
"Warren, is BP really that bad?"
"Hahaha, let me say that both of these are non-performing assets. BP is more serious than William White said. As for Amoko, it's 25 billion to the sky, and I'll tell you, even at this price, I won't buy it. ”
After saying these words, Buffett closed his eyes, he really didn't want to see that ugly face, this matter, from beginning to end, is your own talk.
The oil industry shuffle, which was originally nothing. When the economy is bad, the company chooses to buy, not to mention the price is very low, and if the financing situation is good, they can still make a lot of money.
If there is a strong opponent, it's a different story. You've talked about it, it's useless.
"Warren, you're wrong again, if it's an investment, it may not necessarily be good business, if you really want to get into the energy industry, Amoco is a good choice. ”
"What are you talking about? Allen, he's been buying, and since they're all offshore rigs, you don't pay attention to them.
Haha, or rather, he deliberately avoided it for fear of being suppressed. Now there is an opportunity to return to the mainstream market, and I think he has been waiting for this opportunity impatiently.
Actually, they actually talked to themselves, what did they do with William White?"
