"Zheng Yan, I know that this condition is a bit harsh, you can understand if you don't accept it, we have another plan, I don't know if you are willing to take a stake in Occidental Petroleum Company?"

Garde Garcia has learned about Zheng Yan's investment and knows that his investment focus is on the Internet, and whether Zheng Yan is willing to take a stake in Occidental Petroleum Company, Garde Garcia is also a little unsure.

Of course, Zheng Yan was 10,000 willing in his heart, but he didn't show it. In addition to the Internet, investing in energy is definitely one of the most prudent investment directions, this will definitely not be wrong, if it were not for the fact that China is really not suitable for the establishment of oil companies, Zheng Yan would have already intervened. Now that Occidental Petroleum has sent it to the door by itself, Zheng Yan will certainly not let go of this opportunity.

"Uncle Garcia, it's not impossible to take a stake, but I still need to hear your conditions. ”

"Zheng Yan, because the company has just lost a lot of money in the crude oil market, and now the net worth of Occidental Petroleum is about 9.758 billion, and the company is willing to give up 35 percent of the shares, but you need to pay 3.5 billion US dollars. ”

Western oil companies have talked to many people, however, because the price of crude oil has fluctuated continuously in a short period of time, many people are not sure and dare not invest easily, even if they want to invest, the price given is too low, not to mention the premium, there is no equivalent.

Originally, according to the resolution of the board of directors of Occidental Petroleum Company, only 20 percent of the shares could be transferred, but because some shareholders had plans to withdraw, so many shares were vacated. Just to stabilize the situation in the company, the person who sold the shares also wanted to sell it for a high price, and everyone was keeping it a secret.

Although Gardegarcia's offer is a little premium, it is still within Zheng Yan's acceptance range, and it is even lower than Zheng Yan expected. It's just that Zheng Yan can't find a suitable manager.

With 35% of the shares, even if it is not the largest shareholder of the company, it is almost the same, at least he can have the position of vice president, but Zheng Yan has no suitable candidate at all.

"Maury, you go call Lisa and Bonnie. ”

Zheng Yan thought for a while, instead of hiring a manager, it was better to choose one from among acquaintances, and the only one who was more suitable seemed to be Bonnie. Bonnie has always worked at Occidental Petroleum and knows both the industry and Occidental Petroleum well. As for Lisa, she is still pregnant with a child, and even after giving birth, her main job is to take care of the child, and Zheng Yan doesn't want her to work too hard.

"What's wrong Zheng Yan, is there anything wrong with me?"

"Lisa, Uncle Garcia wants me to take a stake in Occidental Petroleum, and I think it's good, but there is still a lack of a person in charge. ”

Lisa touched her lower abdomen with her hand and said, "You don't want me to be the person in charge, do you?"

"Fool, how can I give it up. You have only one responsibility, and that is to take care of your body and then give birth to a healthy baby, and you just need to take care of the child in the future. As for work, you can do whatever you want, and it's okay if you don't work. ”

After Zheng Yan finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Bonnie and said, "Bonnie, I don't know if you would like to help me? In the future, you will still work in Occidental Petroleum and exercise shareholder rights on my behalf, and I will pay you an additional $1 million a year in addition to the salary that Occidental Petroleum will give you." ”

Bonnie had long known her father's purpose for looking for Zheng Yan, but she didn't expect Zheng Yan to agree so easily, let alone Zheng Yan would say this.

"You mean, let me sit on the board of directors on your behalf, be involved in the management of Occidental Petroleum Corporation, and then you'll pay me an extra salary?"

"That's right, this investment was not in my plan in the first place, so there is no suitable candidate at the moment, since you are Lisa's sister, I think it is not bad to hand it over to you. Of course, it depends on your own opinion, and I won't force it. ”

The investment is certain, as for the person in charge, if Bonnie is unwilling, she can find it again, as long as she is willing to pay, there are many talents.

What Gard Garcia gave was the bottom line of the company, in his opinion, Zheng Yan was also his own person, and the more shares Zheng Yan had, it was also a good thing for their family. It would have been better if it had been Bonnie who had exercised her shareholder rights, so she kept giving Bonnie a look in the hope that she would agree.

Maybe it was because the news was so sudden, Bonnie still didn't react, and Gard Garcia kept giving her a look on the side without noticing, which made Gard Garcia anxious.

Seeing that Bonnie hadn't spoken, Gard Garcia couldn't hold back any longer, "Ahem... Bonnie, I think you can agree to Zheng Yan's conditions. ”

"Well, I agreed. ”

It's not so much the conditions, but the benefits given by Zheng Yan, and Bonnie is sure that Zheng Yan would not have been able to give such a good treatment without Lisa.

"Uncle Garcia, since that is the case, the matter is settled. When the time comes, you divide the shares into two parts, I will take 20 percent, and the remaining 15 percent will be given to Lisa. Then we worked together to give Bonnie a power of attorney and let her take full charge of the company's affairs. ”

When Lisa heard Zheng Yan's words, she hurriedly said, "Zheng Yan, no, I don't want shares." In the future, I will still run the brewery on our estate, just so that I can take care of the children. ”

Bonnie was just a little envious of Lisa, but through Zheng Yan's words just now, she was not only envious in her heart, but even a little jealous. Although the situation of Occidental Petroleum Company is not good, but fifteen percent of the shares, which are worth more than a billion, Zheng Yan gave it to Lisa without blinking an eye.

Garde Garcia regretted it even more, he had known this, and he would not have driven Lisa's mother and daughter away at the beginning, but thinking about it on the other hand, if Lisa lived in the Garcia family, she would not be with Zheng Yan.

"Lisa, otherwise, give you five percent of the shares, you don't have to worry about anything, just take the dividends, just take the dividends, just treat it as pocket money, and the matter is settled. ”

Lisa is also pregnant with her own child, and it is not too much to give something, Zheng Yan was afraid that she would refuse again, so she decided directly.

"Uncle Garcia, that's how it is, you arrange someone to sign the contract as soon as possible, and then you can go directly to Bill Miller. As for the funds, as soon as the contract is signed, I will immediately remit them to the designated account. ”

In the end, Zheng Yan still decided to put his shares in Yanhuang Investment, anyway, Yanhuang Investment is his own sole proprietorship, so he doesn't have to worry about the problem of share dilution, and in addition, Bill Miller can also help keep an eye on it, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
