Chapter 401: Seize the highest point
Chapter 401 preempts the highest point
The auction was even more intense, with Thomson Jason and Del Ford both exerting their strength, and Huaxia Petroleum sometimes helping out, and although some assets were auctioned off, their desire to achieve the Grand Slam was completely bankrupt. There have been as many as five asset auctions, all of which have fallen into the hands of three other companies.
Actually, this is also an understandable thing. You must know that many of the people who came to participate in the auction this time are well-known big conglomerates, and they are not short of money, and if they are determined to snatch them from Del Ford, they will not be able to bear it. After all, Thomson Oil was once a large company with a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars, and even if it is rapidly declining now, they can still sell it for a very good price if the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse.
Without these assets, Thomson Petroleum Company is no longer a complete group, but fortunately, Thomson Petroleum Company is a multinational enterprise, and there is no shortage of factories in the petrochemical industry. At the time of the auction, it was auctioned according to one factory and one subsidiary, and although there were a few pieces missing, it did not prevent these factories and subsidiaries from operating independently. If you want to restore this industrial chain, you either need to spend money to make up for the lack of factories, or you have to cooperate with other petrochemical enterprises, in that case, part of the profits in the industrial chain will definitely have to be caught.
In this regard, Gu Yu did not get too entangled, his decision to buy Thomson Petroleum Company was a relatively hasty decision, although it has been quite a while since he made his decision, but the reason behind his decision to buy Thomson Petroleum Company has not changed, that is, to find a carrier to realize some of the wealth or technology he has, benefit more people, and earn more prestige for him.
In this way, it is not so important whether those links are missing. What's more, he can also start a new stove and rebuild the missing links.
One of the things Gu Yu has to do now is to let Del Ford and Huaxia Petroleum discuss the distribution of benefits, after all, before the auction, Del Ford and Huaxia Petroleum have reached an agreement on cooperation, and now is the time to cash it in.
Huaxia Petroleum is not a vegetarian, and when it sat down with Del Ford again to discuss the distribution of profits, Huaxia Petroleum directly went to the fattest pieces, and they all wanted the assets with the best profit prospects, and they did not want to touch those with bad or uncertain profit prospects.
The history of Huaxia Petroleum is not as long as that of Thomson Petroleum, but as a petrochemical company with a long history of several decades and also one of the few in the world, they know the doorway in the petrochemical industry very well, and naturally know what is good and what is not. At present, there is no reason not to strive for good things.
Del Ford again engaged in tough negotiations with Huaxia Petroleum, and this time even Thomson Jason joined in. The two of them don't have any complicated feelings for Huaxia Petroleum, they are not Huaxia people, they are all entrusted by Gu Yu to manage money for Gu Yu, and it is their mission and duty to protect Gu Yu's interests, so they will naturally not easily give up their interests to Huaxia Petroleum.
Originally, the best distribution result was to determine the final share of all the auctioned assets according to the proportion of prior capital contribution, but there is a problem here, that is, Gu Yu's requirements for each asset are to be 100% controlled as much as possible, so it is not easy to do. Each asset needs to be valued so that it can be determined who should and should not have what to do.
In this, asset valuation has become the key to the distribution of benefits, and whoever masters this will be able to get more benefits. As world-famous financial investors, Del Ford and Thomson Jason may not understand the way of the petrochemical industry, but they don't understand it, so they can ask someone who knows how to come over and help them negotiate with Huaxia Petroleum.
The focus of the dispute between the two parties is mainly on the auctioned oil and gas fields, and the asset evaluation of these oil and gas fields is their main disagreement. These fields are not one, there are four or five in the world. Every time the value is appraised, both parties may either lose or gain.
Gu Yu is also paying attention to these at all times, he is only paying attention, and he does not interfere in the negotiations between Del Ford and Huaxia Petroleum, he, as a big boss, cannot do anything that makes the generals who are charging on the front line feel cold. What's more, he has decided to make Thomson Oil Company a shell to protect him, how can he easily come forward.
This negotiation has lasted for a long time, and the appraisal companies invited by the two sides are also fighting, and each insists that its own assessment results are accurate, and the evaluation results of the two sides are basically the same for the evaluation of surface assets, that is, the evaluation of underground oil and gas fields, and the gap is big. The two sides are at loggerheads over this.
Gu Yu quietly came to the vicinity of these oil and gas fields, and used an intermediate geological exploration instrument to explore the reserves of these oil and gas fields, and found that the two evaluation agencies were enough, and none of the evaluations were correct, and the deviations were very large.
Among them, the appraisal agency hired by the party is still relatively authentic, and the appraisal agency hired by Huaxia Petroleum has great ups and downs, some are more accurate, some have a large deviation, and the direction of the deviation is not the same, some are underestimated, and some are much more than the actual reserves.
Gu Yu shook his head secretly, although he was unwilling to get involved in the negotiations, he still changed the results of his exploration of the underground oil and gas fields to a few relatively approximate figures, and handed them over to Thomson Jason and Del Ford.
Gu Yu hinted so clearly that Del Ford and Thomson Jason both understood it. They all remember Gu Yu's glorious achievements, in JND, where everyone else felt that there was no oil, Gu Yu dug out the oil in a daze, and then sold the oil field for a large price. This is a very famous battle of Gu Yu, and it is a very important reason why Del Ford and Thomson Jason admired Gu Yu so much.
They are still curious about how Gu Yu discovered the oil field. This must be Gu Yu's big secret, they didn't ask, this time Gu Yu told them the number, obviously it was Gu Yu's big secret to make a judgment, this is enough.
Subsequently, Del Ford and Thomson Jason restarted negotiations with Huaxia Petroleum according to the assessment on the note handed by Gu Yu. This time it was smoother, Thomson Jason and Del Ford's tactics were more flexible, and according to Gu Yu's assessment, they fought for what they needed and gave in when they should have conceded. So, soon, the two sides reached a final distribution agreement.
When Del Ford shook hands with Huaxia Petroleum, Gu Yu looked at this agreement and shook his head again and again. But there is no way to do it, who makes the evaluation agency invited by Huaxia Petroleum unreliable, if it is changed to a more reliable one, it will not suffer this loss.
After the agreement was signed, Gu Yu immediately asked Del Ford and Thomson Jason to manage the assets that belonged to him, and the employees who originally worked for Thomson Petroleum Company were basically retained. In addition, Gu Yu also made Alexander's oil field cooperate with Thomson Petroleum Company, and began to officially exploit the underground oil field.
Oil exploitation is only a small goal for Gu Yu to buy Thomson Petroleum Company, and Gu Yu has a bigger goal, which is to rely on Thomson Petroleum Company and prepare to exert force in the energy field.
Speaking of which, Gu Yu has a lot of energy-related things in his hands. Like the intelligent shock-absorbing ultra-thin body armor he used, there is an electrical system inside, and the power contained in the button battery used on it can be tens of thousands of times the power of the existing button battery of the same model. Then there is the battery used on the bionic drone, which will only be more advanced than the battery on the intelligent shock-absorbing ultra-thin body armor. There are also energy generators on particle annihilation guns, miniature controllable nuclear reactors on second-generation fully automatic unmanned mining machines, etc., all of which are fist products that can show their strength in the energy field.
Gu Yu used to be inconvenient to take them out, but now it's different, he has the shell of Thomson Oil Company, and there are many things he can do.
Gu Yu didn't take out all the energy-related products in one go, he just took out a button battery first. This button battery is not the same as the button battery used on the intelligent shock-absorbing ultra-thin body armor, but he downgraded the technology of the button battery on the intelligent shock-absorbing ultra-thin body armor with the technology degradation function alone, so that the power of the button battery is only about 100 times the power of the existing button battery, but even so, when Del Ford and Thomson Jason saw this technology, they were still a little crazy.
Modern people's lives are inseparable from electricity, as one of the important sources of electricity, batteries have always occupied an extremely important position in people's lives. Don't look at Gu Yu, he just increased the power of the button battery by a hundred times, but its significance is extremely huge.
Like the weight of the button battery about the size of a yuan coin on the computer motherboard, as well as the electronic watch, is not as heavy as a yuan coin, its power is about 210mAH, if it is increased by a hundred times, it is 21000mAH, and the maximum power of some power banks is not so high.
If such a button battery is put into the mobile phone and acts as the battery of the mobile phone, then the weight of the mobile phone will definitely be greatly reduced, and there are many similar uses. It is conceivable that the emergence of this kind of button battery is impactful to many industries.
Del Ford and Thomson Jason are extremely excited, they are deeply glad that they did not follow the wrong boss, Gu Yu can continue to come up with super new technology, but it is the only one in the world, this is a golden big thick leg, only a fool will stay away, smart people like them, naturally how tight they are, how tight they are.
The production of this kind of battery must be placed in Thomson Petroleum. Future sales will also be made mainly through Thomson Petroleum. Although Del Ford and Thomson Jason both wanted to be the general managers of the new company, they both knew their own affairs, and they were good at financial investment, and they were not good at engaging in industry, so they suggested to Gu Yu that it was best to acquire the existing button battery manufacturers in the name of Thomson Petroleum Company, so that they could use the existing equipment and personnel, and they could bring the new button battery to the market in the shortest possible time without much effort.
Gu Yu agreed with this suggestion, so he handed over this task to Del Ford and Thomson Jason, and the two met and divided labor again, they wanted to acquire as many manufacturers as possible that could produce button batteries in the shortest possible time, so that when the button batteries were officially listed, they could seize the highest point of the market in the shortest possible time.
In this regard, Gu Yu did not interfere, he received a call at this time. The call came from XH Hospital in China, and XH Hospital asked him for help, saying that they had received an invitation from Country M to go to HSD again, this time to treat the family of Mr. Vice President.
Some time ago, Gu Yu and XH Hospital had a very pleasant quarrel, XH Hospital was full of confidence and wanted to go to the HSD White House in order to seize the limelight, but the result is not to mention Mr. President, even the lowest-ranking Democratic Party leader is at a loss, if Gu Yu does not appear in time, the Democratic Party leader may die in their hands.
Since then, XH Hospital has learned from the pain, and up and down has been thinking about repairing the relationship with Gu Yu. Especially a few days ago, Gu Yu announced that he would stop selling Xinnaotong type A medicine to the outside world, even XH Hospital was no exception, and he could no longer get more Xinnaotong type A medicine from Gu Yu, which was definitely a great loss for them, which made them realize the necessity of repairing the relationship with Gu Yu as soon as possible. It's just that they haven't found a suitable opportunity, and they can't pull their faces for a while.
Now it's okay, country M actually asked XH Hospital for help again, suspected of being a cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, XH Hospital is learning to be obedient this time, and no longer snatches the credit, but takes the initiative to contact Gu Yu, and asks Gu Yu to take them to country M together, since they can't monopolize the credit, then there is Gu Yu to take them, just share a little credit with them.
For Xiao Jiujiu from XH Hospital, Gu Yu could probably guess it, he just sneered. He used the plague ghost to create cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases for Mr. Vice President's family, as long as Mr. Vice President is not stupid, he should know that he should ask him for help directly, but Mr. Vice President prefers to open his mouth to XH Hospital, which shows that Mr. Vice President has no intention of bowing to him Gu Yu at all.
