Chapter 0585: Roosevelt's Poisoned Milk
Los Angeles, Club No. 22.
Li Zitao and the Rockefeller family attach great importance to this merger and acquisition, and the total number of people in charge of formal negotiations on both sides is more than 30, and the entire conference room is filled.
As soon as the negotiations began, the atmosphere became solemn, and the two sides began a lively debate about the valuation of the other party.
"The value of the Northern Gas Field is seriously overvalued, and we believe that the correct valuation should be based on 800 million US dollars. β
"Mobil's valuation of 3.37 billion, we also want to know how it came about?"
"Mobil's global brand presence and sales network are invaluable. β
"Priceless? Nothing in this world is priceless, don't say this ridiculous reason, and say that Mobil's sales only involve Western Europe and North America.
You should take a good look at the map, Mobil's valuation is at least 1 billion inflated. β
"Mobil has a strong technical reserve and experience in refining and storage, which are valuable assets, and our refinery location is of the highest quality!"
"Is there one? Why can't I see... Help me get the map and see if there is any misunderstanding of my understanding of geographical advantage!"
The two sides belittled each other's value back and forth, but Li Zitao and Little John sat on the sofa on the other side, sipping red wine and cigars, and talking about the ups and downs of life.
"Mary has a scheduled itinerary and we will go to Switzerland in two days and come back after the Chinese New Year. "This year they're going to be in Switzerland and Tia and Eric will be going to the Gold Coast.
"It's a shame, I want to invite you to Hawaii, and you can go to Vegas to play two games in your spare time!" "Little John is also about to start enjoying life.
When this matter is over, after the two sides have been running in for a while, he will fully let go and pass on the family property to the children.
"How is David doing?" Thinking of Little John's heir, Li Zitao was a little curious about what he was doing.
"He's working in an oil field in Ohio, and if he wants to master a company well, he should know exactly what the bottom layer is like, and he will think more comprehensively. β
Not only the grassroots level of the refinery, but also the guild, the company's administration, and the cleaner David have worked for a while.
Little John was very pleased with his talents, but his ideas were a little too idealistic, like a castle in the air, and had no foundation.
It's not all bad, at least he dares to think about it and do it.
Now, little John wants to lay a solid foundation for him, so that he can really turn his thoughts into actions, and walk more steadily and faster.
"They're so young!" said John Jr., looking back at the shareholder who was already lying on the table, spitting stars.
"I'm also young. Li Zitao rolled his eyes funny, although he sat with the old men every day, he was still very young.
At the next day's negotiations, Li Zitao and Little John did not attend directly.
The negotiation teams of both sides will report on the progress every day, and this negotiation will not be able to come down in ten days and half a month.
When the results are about to come out, it will be good if the bigwigs on both sides are on the field.
At the same time, Li Zitao and John Jr. are also actively operating, hoping to avoid the situation that the merger between the two sides will be stuck by Congress.
ExxonMobil was originally spun up at the behest of Congress, albeit with an energy company.
But the combined energy company will become the world's largest non-governmental oil and gas producer and the world's largest non-governmental natural gas seller.
Whether or not there will be congressional obstruction in this regard, both sides must be prepared in advance.
For this matter, Li Zitao also made a special phone call to communicate with Roosevelt, which was the first phone call Roosevelt made after he officially became president.
Before he became president, the two sides had frequent contacts, but after he became president, both Li Zitao and he tried to avoid suspicion.
People are terrible, one is the president of the country, the other is a super-rich, nothing to mix together every day, even if there is nothing, it will be said that there is something.
"Charlie, your movements are really secretive, and I haven't heard from you until now. Roosevelt took 20 minutes to talk to him about the merger.
On the part of Congress, Roosevelt will not exert pressure, and he will also greet his own congressmen for convenience.
After all, without Mobil, wouldn't there be the six oil sisters, hundreds of energy companies, large and small?
The market competitiveness still exists, but there is one more large company, and whether it will cause monopoly and interference in the oil market will have to wait until the facts happen.
Li Zitao likes the United States, and what happened is only speculation and foresight, and it cannot be interfered with or convicted for this.
Although Lao Mei is a little 'sluggish in all aspects,' it is obviously a foresightful thing, but they have to wait until after it happens.
But it is precisely because of this that the freedom of citizens and the checks and balances of rights are protected to the greatest extent, which is also one of the prices paid by the United States for freedom.
Roosevelt had absolutely poisoned milk potential, and on the afternoon of the second day of his call, the New York Times ran an article about Mobil's contact with Standard Oil in Alaska.
"There are hundreds of people on both sides in this small building, and we see Shlomo Benitskic, who is known as the brain of wisdom, and senior think tanks Rashdev, Graun, Papol, ......"
"Mobil's Chief Executive Officer, Arrant Hambony, Director of Goldenbastein......"
If the people at the think tank weren't enough to say anything, Mobil's executives, who have a huge influence in the oil industry, are starting to associate with everyone.
The New York Times gave the answer to what brought these people together, and the Barclays team has been in North America for three months.
Linking these clues together, the answer is self-evident, Li Zitao's phone is about to be blown up.
"Why don't I even know about this kind of thing?" said Lawrence, who had received the call at night, and his tone was full of grievances.
As the CEO of the Blue and White Chamber of Commerce and one of the heirs of the Rockefeller family, he actually saw the news of the two mergers and acquisitions from the newspaper.
It's hell, he's afraid he has a fake father, and he's been a fake CEO.
"Hehe... You should ask your father!" Li Zitao said with an embarrassed smile.
"Charlie, you've gone bad. "Lawrence is resentful like a little daughter-in-law, and Charlie has changed, and is no longer sincere to him, oh my God, what a tragedy.
", get your Avril to complain, last time Mary came back and said you hadn't taken her on a trip in a long time, be careful that she kicks you out of bed. β
Li Zitao diverted the topic with a haha, saying that everyone is getting more and more serious, this guy is good, since he got married, he has become more and more naΓ―ve, can you stand being coquettish at every turn?
Could it be that Avril has a way to turn the former playboy into a clingy little milk dog.
But you should also divide people, Lao Tzu is a straight man, and he has no feelings for men.
"Charlie... Do you want to go to Vegas together for the Chinese New Year, with Mary here, Avril will be very happy. The greasy voice made Li Zitao shudder, and he detained the phone with a 'bang', and he was really going to vomit if he listened to it again.
"What's wrong?" a soft voice came, and a slightly drunk Lin Shiyin walked over, and the lady sat sideways on the sofa opposite her.
