A few days later, Cahill, who had returned from the United States, visited Promise's home and reported to Promise about the acquisition of Lanai.
"Whiskey?" Xu Promise, who was standing next to the wine cabinet, looked at Cahill who was sitting on the sofa and raised the wine bottle in his hand to indicate slightly.
"Okay boss." Cahill, whose face was flushed, nodded vigorously.
As a professional manager, being able to get hands-on on a multi-billion-dollar acquisition is definitely exciting. An acquisition of this magnitude is an extraordinary attraction for Cahill, not only as a demonstration of his ability but also as a huge boost to his reputation. He is now a little famous in the circle.
Cahill, for his part, is grateful for the promise. His situation was really bad before, and after losing the help of his family, he didn't know when he would be able to turn over. None of his brothers and sisters are good at anything, and they can do anything to compete for the family property.
Since following the promise, Cahill's life has been better. In particular, his return to the United States to operate an acquisition case of up to hundreds of millions of dollars made his reputation in the circle quickly spread. And his family finally got in touch with him, expressing the hope that he can continue to work hard.
"This acquisition has been covered by many top media outlets, and many have shown a strong interest in our company." Taking the glass from the promise, Cahill excitedly began to introduce the business, "Mr. Murdoch helped introduce some of the top people in the venture capital industry, and they all expressed some interest in our company. ”
"Venture capital?" Xu Promise sat down on the sofa, his eyes changed slightly, he crossed his legs and said with a smile, "The people who do this line of work are the elite of the elite, and the ones introduced by Murdoch should be some characters who don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles." Outsiders may not know what kind of situation our company is, but how can they not know if they really have the heart? ”
"That's what the boss said." Cahill has been in the Asian cultural circle for a long time, and now he speaks and does things with an Asian style: "Their careful thinking can't escape the discerning eyes of the boss." ”
"Alright." Promise waved his hand, "Let's talk about it in detail." ”
"Yes, boss." Cahill held wine glasses in both hands: "After signing the contract, both Goldman Sachs and ******** expressed some interest in our company. The main reason is that our company now owns hundreds of millions of dollars worth of Lanai Island as a fixed asset. And there is also Pavlyuchenko as one of the shareholders. In their eyes, investing in our company is a sure bet. Because even if we burned all the money, they still have Lanai as a fixed asset. And it is also able to get into a relationship with the Russian energy giants. ”
"Oil prices aren't cheap right now." He knew what Cahill meant. For Goldman Sachs and Morgan, who have almost untold fortunes, there is little risk in investing in the promised companies.
Even if the promised company has nothing to achieve now, it has Lanai worth hundreds of millions of dollars. It's too good to be a good asset.
And, because of the presence of Pavlyuchenko, an energy giant, they will be able to get involved with Pavlyuchenko if they invest, and that's the most important thing. After all, now that international energy prices are soaring, everyone who has something to do with this industry has made a fortune.
"******** only expressed the intention to cooperate, but Goldman Sachs directly expressed its willingness to invest $100 million in exchange for 17% of the original shares of SC Company. Cahill excitedly introduced to Xu Promise, "Goldman Sachs also hinted that it can help run the company's listing matters, and the company doesn't even need to produce results directly, just a forward-thinking concept." Boss, that's a listing! ”
For these professional managers, becoming the CEO of a listed company is basically the pinnacle of life.
"There will definitely be a listing." Xu Promise slowly turned the wine glass in his hand, and calmly watched the amber wine in the glass constantly change under the light, exuding a dazzling luster, "But Goldman Sachs can't, they think too much." ”
"Don't worry." Xu Promise waved his hand to stop Cahill, who wanted to speak, "I know what Goldman Sachs thinks, what does it mean to have a concept ahead?" It's just a gimmick to trick investors into spending money to buy stocks. Spend money to buy the media to blow it together, and then find a few bricks in the industry to call the beasts to be able to directly start operating the listing with a cloud of comments. With the help of momentum, he made a lot of money after going public. Wait until the market passes, and the company can't come up with anything and completely collapse, and then appear as a savior to take the company's equity, so as to take hundreds of millions of dollars worth Lanai Island into the hands of the white wolf with empty gloves at a very small price. This little trick is still trying to hide from my eyes? Once they really accept Goldman Sachs' funding, they will inevitably sign exclusive and preferred equity contracts, and this is their backhand. ”
"......" was so excited that the company could not hold on to its own because of the possibility of going public, and Cahil was stunned.
Beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down Cahill's head. He didn't think so far-reaching as promised, and always thought that with the help of Goldman Sachs, it was not too simple to go public and make money. After promising to tell Goldman Sachs' routine, Cahill was completely dumbfounded.
"Old, boss." Cahill didn't bother to take out his handkerchief, and wiped the sweat beads from his forehead with his expensive handmade suit, "I am loyal to you, and I have never thought of getting involved in such a thing." ”
Cahill's voice was already tinged with a trill. He was stunned to find that he had been helping Goldman Sachs openly and secretly to fool his boss. If he was promised that he was involved in the matter, he was doomed.
Reputation is very important in the agent industry. After all, it's the fiscal stewards who help the real boss handle the finances. If there is an outbreak of the business of outsiders cheating the boss's money, it will be all over.
If you really get into the pit, forget it, even if you don't work in the future, there will be no problem. But things haven't started yet, and if he is promised to be such a person, then he can apply for benefits later. No company or individual would hire someone with a criminal record like him.
As soon as he thought of his possible tragic fate in the future, Cahill felt his legs tremble slightly, and he was hesitating in his heart whether to kneel down to his boss and admit his mistake would be forgiven.
"You don't have the ability, you don't have the wisdom." Xu Promise narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "And Goldman Sachs is just a test now, not to the point of getting you involved." Or do you think they're going to offer to invest $100 million for 17 percent of the original shares? Think about how much it cost to buy Lanai! Don't think about going public to make money, otherwise you will have to help others count the money when the time comes. That's the worst thing. ”
"Yes, yes, yes." Sweating profusely, Cahill replied, swallowing hard, feeling his mouth dry, and hurriedly poured another sip of whiskey.
"If I take the bait from Goldman Sachs, then they will follow suit. If I refuse, then they will stay tuned. It's as simple as that. Xu Yu smiled, "Okay, put this matter aside for now, and don't hold a grudge against Goldman Sachs." You have to know that they are venture capitalists, and this kind of thing is normal. By the way, how did Larry Ellison react? ”
"Boss." In his heart, he scolded Goldman Sachs for eating people and not spitting out bones, but the promised question could not be regarded as not being heard. Cahill breathed a sigh of relief, "Larry Ellison expressed his regret in front of the media, but a friend told me that he was losing his temper in private and was saying that he would never do business with our company. ”
"Hmph." Xu Promise sneered, "Do you really think you are irreplaceable?" Wait, he will come to my door and ask for my cooperation. ”
Cahill smiled wryly, but thought to himself that it was the eccentric and awkward Larry Ellison and his Oracle. I really don't know any company in this world that can let him take the initiative to ask for cooperation.
Promise read Cahill's thoughts, but didn't have the slightest thought of explaining to him, "How's the progress of what I asked you to collect?" ”
"Boss." Cahill took out a thick stack of papers from his briefcase and handed it over, "This is the amber material I recently collected from all over the world that contains ancient mosquito fossils. I bought a total of one hundred and nineteen pieces of this amber. The total amount spent is ......"
"Don't mention the money." Xu Promise looked at the detailed information and photos intently, and looked at the fossils of the ancient giant mosquitoes that had been sealed in amber for hundreds of millions of years, and a stirring emotion surged in his heart: "Money is not a problem. All the expenses go off the company's books, no matter how much money is spent, as long as you can get it back. ”
"Yes, boss." Cahill, who knew nothing about genetic engineering, couldn't figure out what he was doing with the promise of spending a lot of money on these fossils. But he's just working, and since the boss has an explanation, it's good to work hard. It wasn't his turn to worry about anything else.
At the level of science and technology of this era, it is impossible for humans to extract the DNA sequences needed to resurrect ancient creatures from these mosquito fossils that may have sucked the blood of dinosaurs, but were wrapped in resin before they were digested.
However, just because other scientists don't have this technology doesn't mean they promise that they don't.
In Jurassic Park World, where the technology to resurrect dinosaurs has been developed for many years, and it has real results. This is a promise that I have personally experienced, but I am very clear.
The technology in that world can do it, and the top technologies in that world to resurrect dinosaurs are all in the promised mind at the moment.
There may be some minor troubles in the previous Promise to complete the operation, but after using the NZT-48, Promise is sure that as long as the equipment and materials are sufficient, he will be able to go it alone. Complete your amazing plan to resurrect the dinosaurs!
"You're doing a great job." After a moment, Xu Promise put down the materials in his hand and looked at Cahill, "Have you bought all the equipment materials I asked you to order?" ”
"It's all purchased." Cahill nodded, "It's basically starting to ship in the direction of Lanai, and it is estimated that it will take about a month if the commissioning and installation are all completed." ”
"Good." A smile curled up at the corner of Xu Promise's mouth, and he slowly got up, "You did a very good job." Send all the amber fossils to the island. Tell me when all the equipment materials are installed and debugged. I would personally go to Lanai. ”
"Yes, boss."
"You're an excellent agent." Xu Promise raised his hand and patted Cahill on the shoulder, "I think your ability is enough to be the CEO of SC Company." (To be continued.) )
