Chapter 399: The Possibility of Scrambling

For Thomson Oil, Gu Yu has always been imperative. He immediately refunded his train ticket, then rebooked a few tickets for the closest plane to JND, and prepared to fly to JND.

To tell the truth, Gu Yu took a great risk by plane, although this time, the route that the plane flew over was either in country M or JND, and the possibility of risk was very small, but the temptation to shoot him down was too great, and it was difficult to guarantee that no one would take the risk and risk the condemnation of the world, and also shoot down the plane he was on in country M or JND.

Of course, Gu Yu had to guard against this, he risked being exposed, before he entered the airport, he placed some bionic drones in a relatively hidden place near the airport, and then let these bionic drones quietly fly into the airport, found the plane that Gu Yu was going to take, and then landed in some relatively hidden places on the plane.

Gu Yu did this because he planned to use these bionic drones to intercept him when someone waited for him to fly into the sky and then used missiles or fighter jets to attack him.

However, Gu Yu's arrangement this time was a bit redundant, he took a plane, flew all the way to JND, and waited until the plane landed smoothly at the airport, and did not encounter any danger. Except for those who are crazy and psychologically distorted, otherwise, it is easy for no one to point the finger at civil airliners.

As soon as Gu Yu got off the plane, he was borrowed by someone arranged by Del Ford. Gu Yu arranged for him and Thomson Jason to buy the job of Thomson Oil Company, and Thomson Jason was discussing marriage with Shamantha during this time, and he could no longer focus on this matter, which was very understandable to both Gu Yu and Del Ford.

Del Ford took Gu Yu into a large mansion with a separate courtyard, and the security here was extremely strict, even if Del Ford himself entered and exited this courtyard, he had to check his identity through various means.

Entering the courtyard, I came to the house, and found that it was like a war room, with a huge screen on the wall, and dozens of employees on the ground who were busy with computers, and everyone had a pile of materials in front of them, and they didn't bother to look up.

Here are the men that Del Ford had gathered for the purpose of buying the Thomson Oil Company, some of whom were Thomson Jason's men, and who were now under his command.

Del Ford brought Gu Yu to his office, which was quieter, but there was also a mountain of materials and papers on the desk, and there was still half a cup of coffee on the table.

Del Ford asked Gu Yu to sit down, and then, without wasting time, continued the topic in the car just now, and continued to report to Gu Yu on the preparations for the acquisition of Thomson Petroleum Company.

This time, Thomson Petroleum Company was determined to go bankrupt for the simple reason that it was insolvent and could not continue to operate. The JND government has officially accepted the bankruptcy application of Thomson Petroleum Company, and will soon send people to Thomson Petroleum Company to conduct an asset inventory, and it is believed that it will not be too long before Thomson Petroleum Company will become a mouth-watering piece of fat in the asset market.

Dell-Ford and Thomson Jason have more money in their hands, and if they are willing to spend money, they can now apply to the JND government to buy all of Thomson's oil company. Just doing so, it's definitely going to cost you more.

Although Gu Yu's money is no different from the wind, he doesn't want to waste it at will. He listened very carefully to Del Ford's opinion, and then told Del Ford not to be too anxious, and to wait until the Thomson Oil Company's assets were appraised and when the JND government and Thomson Oil Company jointly announced the bankruptcy of Thomson Oil Company, then they could know what price to use to buy Thomson Oil Company.

It was about a week's time, and the assets of the Thomson Oil Company were basically evaluated, as announced by the Thomson Oil Company, the Thomson Oil Company was seriously insolvent, with a total debt ratio of more than 200 percent, and the company's accounts were in short balance, which was shocking, and the largest of them was the $10 billion that was taken off the books some time ago, and until now, it has not been able to recover a penny.

The JND government decided to divide and auction the assets of Thomson Petroleum Company, in which the high-quality assets were put together and the inferior assets were put together and auctioned separately. After all, the JND government also has shares in the Thomson Oil Company, and it sells it for a lot of money, so it is possible to fill the hole in the Thomson Oil Company, and if it can't be filled, it may even have to bear a certain responsibility.

Gu Yu wants to take down Thomson Petroleum Company, a very important reason is that he wants the shell of Thomson Petroleum Company, and wants some mature enterprise management models accumulated by Thomson Petroleum Company over the past hundred years of operation.

Originally, when Gu Yu was in China, he also bought some mining enterprises, but because he discovered several copper-rich mines with huge reserves, as well as silver mines, etc., it was so eye-catching that even the Mineral Development Division was alarmed, and finally he could only sell the ore veins to the state at an ultra-low price.

Although Gu Yu didn't dwell on this matter, he was still a little unhappy in his heart when he could sell something for a hundred yuan, but he sold it for a few yuan. If Gu Yu can buy Thomson Oil, then he will have a shell that he can use, or a tool to resist some domestic systems or unspoken rules, and if there is a similar situation, he will be able to protect his legitimate interests to a greater extent.

Based on this purpose, it would be best to be able to buy Thomson Oil Company as it is, but if there is no guarantee that it will be swallowed, then Gu Yu plans to selectively give up some things from Thomson Oil Company. Among them, the first thing Gu Yu considered giving up, and what others are most likely to compete for, is the exploitation rights of oil or gas fields owned by Thomson Petroleum Company.

This is also the most valuable asset of Thomson Petroleum Company at present, if you have these exploitation rights, you can reasonably and legally extract the natural gas or oil underneath, take it out and sell it, and no one can say anything.

These are of course attractive mountains of gold and silver for others, but for Gu Yu, they are not particularly things that need to be fought for. Gu Yu has an intermediate information processor, and he can explore any kind of resources he wants, and the cost is low, so there is no need to waste money on these oil and gas fields. Of course, if the exploitation rights of these oil and gas fields can be won at a relatively reasonable price, it is also acceptable.

Gu Yu is not the only one who is eyeing the exploitation rights of these oil and gas fields, as long as there are petrochemical companies with some strength in the world, who doesn't want to swallow this piece of fat. They began to use all kinds of means, or alliances, or lobbying, or stumbling blocks, in short, with one goal, that is, to get the right to exploit the oil and gas fields.

In this, Gu Yu's side seemed relatively calm, because Gu Yu had never shown up, and it was all Del Ford and Thomson Jason, who occasionally came over, running together. The wedding date of Thomson Jason and Shamantha has been completely set, and it is planned to be held the day after the Thomson Oil Company asset auction, where Thomson Jason intends to fight a beautiful battle as a wedding gift.

Except for the people on Gu Yu's side, no one knew that Gu Yu had also become interested in Thomson Petroleum Company. Therefore, no one has come to contact Gu Yu's side, and there is also a factor here that makes people ignore them, that is, Thomson Jason and Del Ford are not people in the petrochemical industry, even if they have abundant capital, they rashly set foot in an unfamiliar field, and it is good to be pants without losing money. Interlacing is like separating mountains, but it's not just a casual talk.

Not everyone has forgotten about Del Ford and Thomson Jason, and there are also some people who have approached Del Ford and Thomson Jason and want to raise money from them to raise money to buy Thomson Oil, and none of them promised to give them the equity of Thomson Oil, at most they promised to give more interest, and besides, Del Ford and Thomson Jason would be looked down upon no matter what they wanted to get.

Although Thomson Jason and Del Ford have abundant funds, they cannot guarantee that they will be able to get all the assets of Thomson Oil Company, after all, their strong funds only refer to the whole, but it does not mean that when Thomson Oil Company's assets are auctioned one by one, every time, other petrochemical companies will sit down and buy all the assets of Thomson Oil Company, and if someone snipes, it may even make them unable to buy even one asset although they hold tens of billions of dollars.

Although those competitors will definitely pay a lot of money to do this, this possibility is solid and must be guarded against.

Del Ford and Thomson Jason were all given the help to find out what the competitors were interested in, and if they could find out that, they would be able to develop a targeted plan to achieve the goal of maximizing the benefits at the lowest cost. It's just that this is easier said than done. After all, in these years, if an enterprise can become bigger and stronger, no one is a fool, and it is really difficult to extract information from their mouths.

As the day of the auction draws closer, the people of Del Ford and Thomson Jason have not made much progress in this regard. Gu Yu also secretly used an intermediate information processor to try to steal some trade secrets, but unfortunately, he found nothing. The computers or mobile phones of those competitors save data are not connected to the Internet, and no matter how powerful the intermediate information processor is, it is impossible to get in touch with them, so it is impossible to steal secrets.

In this regard, Gu Yu is mentally prepared. After all, it does not mean that mastering technology far beyond generations will necessarily be invincible. Some local methods are still capable of dealing with those high-tech means.

On the eve of the auction, when Gu Yu did not have much hope, someone actually found Del Ford on a rare occasion, not to borrow money from Del Ford, but to cooperate with Del Ford and bid on some projects of the Thomson Petroleum Company. What surprised Gu Yu was not only that, but also the one who sought to cooperate with Del Ford was from China, the boss of the petrochemical industry, Huaxia Petroleum, which is an authentic state-owned enterprise, known as the eldest son of the republic, and the eldest son of the eldest son.

A large part of Huaxia's oil strategy is realized through Huaxia Petroleum.

Huaxia Petroleum's meaning is very simple, that is, to cooperate with Del Ford at tomorrow's auction. Del Ford has the financial advantage, Huaxia Petroleum has the money and technology, there is no fundamental conflict of interest between the two sides, and the intention of cooperation can be reached completely.

The cooperation model proposed by Huaxia Petroleum is very simple, that is, the two sides determine the proportion of capital contribution, and after finally obtaining the assets of Thomson Petroleum Company, they will be distributed according to the proportion of capital contribution; if Del Ford is willing to give up the rights and interests it deserves, Huaxia Petroleum is willing to sell it at a suitable price to buy it, and will never let Del Ford suffer a loss.

How could Del Ford cooperate with Huaxia Petroleum, he knew that Gu Yu intended to swallow the entire Thomson Petroleum Company, and if he cooperated with Huaxia Petroleum, then the possibility of Gu Yu wanting to dominate Thomson Petroleum Company no longer existed.

Del Ford reported his intentions to Gu Yu, but Gu Yu did not immediately answer whether Del Ford's decision was good or bad.

Gu Yu thought a lot, last time, when he was auctioning in JND's oil field, Huaxia Petroleum contacted him through some channels, but Huaxia Petroleum's bid was too low, how could Gu Yu agree. As a result, the two sides did not have much of a quarrel.

This time, if Gu Yu refuses to cooperate with Huaxia Petroleum, the reason is also very sufficient, which can be said to be revenge for Huaxia Petroleum's unreasonable behavior last time, or it can be said to be inconsistent with his development strategy. However, after thinking about it for a long time, Gu Yu still agreed to cooperate with Huaxia Petroleum.

Del Ford has inquired clearly, Huaxia Petroleum's biggest target is the exploitation rights of those oil and gas fields owned by Thomson Petroleum Company, and although Huaxia Petroleum is also interested in other assets of Thomson Petroleum Company, it is not very interested.

What Gu Yu is most unsure of what he can photograph is the exploitation rights of those oil and gas fields, which is also the part he can give up. If you cooperate with Huaxia Petroleum, there may not be no possibility of fighting.
