Chapter 531 Iraqi Oil

……

"Are you going back to Los Angeles with us, or are you going home?"

After the group came down from the cemetery, Guo Shouyun asked.

Gordon thought for a moment, "I haven't been back for a long time, and I want to spend time with my parents first." ”

He patted him on the shoulder, "Call me when you want to come over." ”

"Of course!"

"We're back in San Francisco!" said Catherine.

"I'm not going to ask you about this workaholic. ”

"Damn Bruce, who do you think I'm working for!" Catherine threw herself at with a frenzied fist.

"Wait, Catherine, Lao Liu is still here. You want to be a lady, you know?"

Guo Shouyun dodged with a smile.

With fewer and fewer friends around him to talk to as equals, he still enjoys the fun with Catherine.

Glancing at Liu Zhixing next to her, Catherine said arrogantly: "The old lady has already chased him, what are you afraid of." ”

Liu Zhixing smiled bitterly when he heard this.

Still, despite that, Catherine finally stopped.

"By the way, Julia, when is your due date?"

"The doctor said in March next year. ”

"March!" Guo Shouyun nodded.

"What, what's the problem?"

"Nope. I'm just thinking about what gift to give you... ”

After chatting for a few days, the group went down to the cemetery and then went home. As soon as he entered the house, before his butt sat down, Guo Shouyun's mobile phone rang. After a brief glance at the caller ID and a little thought, he pressed the answer button.

"Hey!"

"Mr. Guo, you should remember me, right?"

"Mr. Morgan, how could I forget. ”

"In that case, Mr. Guo must remember our transaction if he thinks about it. ”

"Of course!" After a pause, Guo Shouyun's eyes flashed and said, "Listening to Mr. Morgan's tone, it seems that the matter has succeeded?"

"If it doesn't work, why should I waste Mr. Guo's precious time. … By the way, if Mr. Guo is not busy, can he come to New York?"

"New York?"

"My father would like to see you, and by the way, we can also finalize the cooperation. ”

"Mr. Frederick?"

Harvey Morgan replied, "Mr. Guo, although I shouldn't have said it in advance. But if you come this time, in addition to the cooperation we discussed before, there are other gains waiting for you. I think it's going to make you happy. ”

"Another catch?"

Guo Shouyun thought quickly in his heart. After a few moments, he had a decision.

"It is a great honor to receive an invitation from Mr. Frederick, and I will take the time to visit New York as soon as possible!"

"Then I'll wait here for Mr. Guo. ”

"Okay!"

"Goodbye!"

"Goodbye!"

Hanging up the phone, Guo Shouyun took the phone and pondered. After a long time, I found Karrov's phone and dialed it.

"Bruce, why did you call me all of a sudden?"

"Karl, the war in Iraq has entered the final stage, right?"

"The frontal battle was over in April, and there are still sporadic revolts. … But why do you suddenly care about this?"

"Karl, you know, Iraq is the fifth largest oil reserve in the world, with 143 billion barrels, occupying 18 in the Middle East and 9 in the world. It also has the fourth-largest natural gas reserves, after Russia, Iran and Venezuela. Unocal and Pacific Energy happen to have a huge demand for oil and gas. Now that the war is over, I wonder what Washington is doing about these resources. ”

"Bruce, your sense of smell is still so sharp. ”

Guo Shouyun smiled faintly, "Carl, it's not that my sense of smell is sensitive. It's what is on the table, and everyone can see it. ”

After the annexation of Unocal, he slowed down mergers and acquisitions in the power industry and increased investment in the oil industry, so that this is not the case! With Unocal's status as the fifth largest oil company in the United States, it also has the strength to participate in it and get a piece of the pie.

"Hehe!" Karrov smiled, "Now there is no unified opinion in Washington on how to deal with Iraq's resources. However, you should be aware that in order to maintain the image of the United States, as well as the legitimacy of the new Iraqi government, the monopoly of resources is impossible. ”

"Of course I know that. And I would love to work with the oil companies of the democratic government of Iraq. But before that, I think we should sit down and divide our interests, so as not to cause disputes at that time. In addition, it is also good for the re-election of Mr. President for the next term. ”

From the perspective of the national interests of the United States, the main purpose of the Iraq war is to defeat the anti-American Iraqi regime, deter the countries in the Middle East that are ready to move, contain Russia's southward strength, and maintain the hegemony of the petrodollar.

As for specific oil resources, even without Iraq, the oil supply of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Venezuela, and Canada alone can meet the oil consumption of the United States. Therefore, on the premise of achieving the national goal, it is better to take out the oil fields and win over the big American consortium to pave the way for his next term.

"Bruce, it seems that in addition to business acumen, your political talent should not be underestimated!"

"Carl, don't praise me. Believe the same thing, you have long thought of it. ”

After Karrov laughed a little, "Iraq's oil resources really need to be divided." However, this matter is not the focus of Washington at the moment, so I have not informed you either. ”

"OK, I know it's enough to know the news. I believe that Mr. President will not forget me. ”

"Of course! Now you're a big man!"

"Big people don't dare to be. … By the way, I'll go to Washington in a few days, and let's get together then. ”

"Yes, Mr. President, I've wanted to see you for a long time. ”

"Me too!"

After a brief chat, Guo Shouyun hung up the phone.

Subconsciously flipped through the mobile phone in his hand, and after half a circle of contemplation, he called Gordon Lincoln.

"Bruce, why are you calling me here, you can't miss me, right?"

"If you're a pretty girl, it's possible. … Well, no kidding. Gordon, I'm going to New York soon, and I'm afraid I won't have time with you for a while. ”

"Hey, I'm not a child, and I still need you to accompany me. But you must see me off when I leave. ”

"Don't worry, when you leave, I will personally see you off at the airport. ”

"Alright. You go and help, I'll hang up first!"

"Hmm!"

Guo Shouyun hung up the phone.

After briefly tidying up the papers on the desk and turning off the computer, he walked out of the study.

"Wendy, I'm going to New York...!"

After explaining his home, Guo Shouyun took his Kunpeng to the Big Apple again. He didn't want to waste time, and as soon as he settled down, he came to the Morgan family's mansion on Long Island.

"Mr. Guo is really resolute, I just called in the morning, and you will arrive in the afternoon. ”

Looking at the slightly chubby middle-aged man in front of him, dressed in a black suit, his expression revealing the majesty he had raised after staying in the top position for a long time, and the noble middle-aged man of the wealthy clan, Guo Shouyun said calmly: "Time is the most precious thing, I don't want to waste it." In addition, I have always wanted to visit Mr. Morgan and ask for business wisdom and life philosophy in person. ”

Mr. Guo was polite. If you really want to talk about business smart, I'm afraid it's not as good as that. ”

After exchanging a few polite words, Guo Shouyun was welcomed into the living room.

"I heard that Mr. Guo likes to drink tea, so I specially prepared a special Wuyi red robe from Huaxia here, I hope Mr. Guo can like it. ”

"Mr. Morgan has a heart, please!"

"Please!"

After taking a sip and being well-mannered, old Morgan gave his son next to him a look. Harvey Morgan understood and took out the equity transfer documents that had been prepared long ago.

"Mr. Guo, this is the 5 shares of ConocoPhillips that I promised you, with a total value of $2.5 billion. ”

Guo Shouyun took it and looked at it, and after there was no problem, "I told Mr. Harvey before that my valuation of Google is $24 billion, and if you agree with this valuation, I will give you 3 shares of Google." ”

"Of course...!"

Before Harvey Morgan could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Frederick Morgan next to him.

"Mr. Guo, forgive me for taking the plunge. It's the end of July, and Google's mid-year earnings report should be out, right?"

"Not bad!"

"If it's convenient, I wonder if you can reveal it?"

Guo Shouyun understood the meaning of his words, and after a brief consideration, he nodded.

In 2003, Google's main business income was $1.04 billion, non-core business income was $47 million, and net profit was $263 million, a year-on-year increase of 21.8%. As at the end of June 2003, it had total assets of $2.37 billion and total liabilities of $931 million, of which liquid liabilities amounted to $392 million. After a pause, Guo Shouyun smiled faintly, "If Mr. Morgan wants more details, I can send you a copy of Google's interim financial statements." ”

"Statements don't have to, I believe in the authenticity of Google's finances. However, judging from Google's net profit in the second quarter, its market value is less than $24 billion!"

In my opinion, a 40x P/E ratio is on the low side for Google's value. If it weren't for Mr. Harvey's sincerity, and I happen to need ConocoPhillips' shares, I wouldn't have given up these 3 Google shares. ”

Locked his eyes tightly, after a long time, Frederick Morgan saw in it, except for firmness and self-confidence, there was no wandering caused by a lack of heart.

"Father, I agree with Mr. Guo's judgment on Google!"

Harvey Morgan spoke up. Unlike his father, he is extremely optimistic about the future of Google and Ruby. He is also very convinced of Guo Shouyun's assertion that the Internet will profoundly change society as mentioned in several speeches. Therefore, even if the valuation seems high to the outside world, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in his opinion.
