Chapter 476: Revisiting New Energy Projects (1st Update)

When Lin Zitan returned to the office, Jimmy had already arrived, waiting in the cubicle outside his office, chatting with the secretary.

"Hi Jimmy, you're here so early, have you had lunch?"

Lin Zitan came in and saw him, and immediately shook Jimmy's hand very affectionately.

"I've eaten it. ”

Jimmy replied with a light smile.

"Let's go, said inside. ”

Lin Zitan pushed open the office door and asked the secretary to make two cups of coffee and come in.

Jimmy is still the same as when Lin Zitan first met him many years ago, calm and calm, and he is a really capable person.

After following Lin Zitan in, Jimmy sat opposite Lin Zitan in a regular manner and handed him the plan in his hand.

"I came this time to talk to you about a new case, this case Joseph talked to you before, he was afraid that you still have the same impression and attitude, so let me come and talk to you again. ”

"The new energy one?"

As soon as Lin Zidan heard Jimmy say this, he knew that it was still a case of new energy, but the problem was that it had been so many years since Joseph first mentioned it to him, and he didn't expect Joseph to give up.

"He mentioned it to me many times before, and I had the same opinion on this part as you at the time, and persuaded him not to vote, so in the end he didn't insist, but this time, we really did full preparation and investigation, and then put this case on the table again.

This is a plan I made myself, and although there are some opinions and suggestions from Joseph, the whole is a very objective analysis and a specific plan for this case.

Like you, I got involved in this case because I had money to make, so I was relatively objective, so I was the main promoter this time. ”

After Jimmy finished speaking, a pair of eyes looked at Lin Zitan eagerly.

"Let's not talk about our plan, it's a miracle that such an energy company can last so long, I just wonder who is the supporter of this energy company after the old George's support is gone?"

Lin Zitan took the plan book and put it in his hand, but before he could open it, he asked a question that made him very curious.

"This is also the part I used to focus on, and after learning about it, I found that in addition to the Smith family business that was ostensibly married to their family, there was also a large investment in this company that actually came from ...... Your wife's recently deceased grandfather, Mr. Johnson Sr. ”

As if throwing a bomb, Jimmy immediately knocked Lin Zitan unconscious.

"Mr. Johnson Sr., when did he start making the capital injections?"

He hadn't paid attention to the energy company since he had rejected Joseph twice before, and no matter what his past with Elsa was, it was very sensible to invest in him.

What's more, the old George's family is basically wiped out, and there is no need for him to implicate innocent people because of those personal grudges, even if this person was once Joseph's enemy.

Johnson Sr. was the former CEO of the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority and an expert in power, crude oil storage and new energy, so it is not surprising that Johnson Sr. would invest in such a new energy company.

It's just that he wants to figure out the timing of Johnson Sr.'s capital injection, if his capital injection time was long before or at the same time as the old George family, then many things are not so simple.

-------------------

"That is, a few years ago, after the decline of the old owner of this new energy, that is, the old George family, the original funder, their company has been hanging out and wanting to sell, but it has not been able to sell for several years.

Probably after 2016, they first obtained a certain amount of financial support from the Smith family through marriage, and then I don't know how to persuade Mr. Johnson Sr., by the way, you see, this is the timing and amount of Mr. Johnson's capital injection. ”

Jimmy pulled out a copy from his bag, and the original copy looked like a yellowed piece of paper with the time, place, and amount of money clearly written on it, and it was handled by George Johnson.

"George Johnson?

After Lin Zitan saw this name, an inexplicable feeling immediately appeared in his heart.

"Yes, it's Mr. Johnson's butler, and it is said that the elder Johnson has lived in seclusion for so many years, uh...... You should know this better, so all his foreign affairs and investment activities are handled by this old butler and special assistant named George Johnson. ”

Jimmy didn't know why Lin Zitan's face suddenly became a little strange after seeing the name of this housekeeper, but he still shared the first-hand information he dug up with his partner.

"I know, so since they already have investors, why are they selling them now?"

Lin Zi was puzzled.

"Well, because of the death of Mr. Johnson Sr., their original source of funds has broken again, and the Smith family, who had bought 30% of their family's shares by marriage, now regrets the investment, so the two families are on the verge of tearing up.

If we cut in now, we would be able to acquire the 30% stake at the lowest price, and with the 10% that Joseph secretly bought, we would be able to control at least 40% of the shares. ”

Jimmy immediately explained excitedly.

"What's the point of the Smith family owning 80 percent of the company if they've spent nearly 10 years in the company?"

Lin Zitan hit the nail on the head.

"Let's put it this way, I don't know if Joseph has mentioned to you before that this energy company is actually a copy of the company he used to be, and Joseph was killed by the owner of this company and a good buddy of Mr. Joseph.

But this patent was actually obtained by Joseph's company first, and after so many years, although the company has been absorbing various financial support and has not completely bankrupted, it is difficult to break through the technical difficulties, and this key technology is still in Joseph's hands.

As long as we can take this company down, we can break through the bottleneck, not to say that it is immediately profitable, but at least in three years we will be able to earn back all the money we have invested before.

This is not something I boast about Joseph, but it is a true fact, and it is one of the important reasons why I have been by Joseph's side for so many years, I know that he has the ability!"

Jimmy unhurriedly described Joseph's relationship with the energy company and its prospects, and then continued:

"Also, do you know why Joseph and his wife turned against each other? Elsa's father was willing to pay $10 million for Joseph's patented technology, but he flatly refused.

Therefore, Joseph's wife, Natasha, hated him for depriving his wife and children of a relatively prosperous life for her own selfishness, and angrily married a nouveau riche who was just rising at the time, and that person was Mr. Smith. ”

I heard Joseph tell the story of the new energy company and him, but I didn't know the ins and outs of all this.

Well, you leave this information to me first, and I think I'll have to talk to Mr. Johnson Sr.'s butler first, and I'll have to find out the main reason why they're investing in this company, otherwise I'm really not at ease. ”

"No problem!"

Jimmy left the information to Lin Zitan and left, leaving Lin Zitan to sit at the desk for a long time, and after a while, he made a phone call and went out.

"Hey, please help me find someone, George Johnson, old Mr. Johnson's butler, give me the results of the investigation as quickly as possible!"
