After the acquisition transaction was completed, Tang Bao left Nick to temporarily take over the company, and he was also the old man of the American Southern Company, and he would not cause chaos in the company if he took over. As for Angela, Tang Bao did not consider continuing to hire her as president, not because she caused trouble for her own transaction, but after careful consideration, looking back on the whole process of this acquisition transaction, he found that Angela's performance was really sorry for the salary paid to her by the American Southern Company.

Tang Bao appointed Nick to take over the Southern Company, but did not retain her to reassure people, and Angela was also slightly disappointed. But thinking of his recent work mistakes, I'm afraid he can't escape Tang's eyes, and he didn't hire himself because of this consideration.

"Boss, the situation of the company is not optimistic, and it needs to inject capital." After taking over the company, Nick has to have money to do anything.

"Hmm. I'm going to inject $100 million into the company temporarily. ”

Tang Bao did not inject a large amount of capital, but only gave 100 million US dollars.

"Okay."

Nick was happy to hear that his boss was giving him $100 million. He doesn't think that $100 million is less, but with $100 million, he can make a lot of changes to the company.

"The Southern Company's main business is retail, and the '7-Eleven' convenience store brand is its core asset. Other messy businesses, all that should be cut down. Tang Bao instructed that the diversification and expansion of the American Southern Company had failed, leaving a lot of messes, and he had no interest in these side hustles. Sell or close as soon as possible, and focus on the main business.

"Entertainment, finance, real estate, energy and other businesses are all cut?" Nick asked in surprise, "Boss, not all of these businesses are loss-making, and there are some profitable ones. In particular, the company has a 35% stake in two oil fields in the Gulf of Mexico and has great prospects for oil exploration. ”

"This company is also involved in oil extraction?" Tang Bao showed a look of surprise.

"What's so strange about that. Many U.S. companies get involved in the oil sector by buying a block, exploring it, finding it and selling it to the big oil companies. ”

"Oh."

Tang Bao realized that there are indeed many such small oil companies in the United States. They lease the area where they think there is oil, and then they explore it, and they extract the oil, and they don't extract it themselves, but they sell the oil block to the big oil companies that are interested. Then they continue to look for opportunities...... Like gambling, they've been betting that they'll find oil.

Petroleum......

It is difficult for foreign investors to extract oil in the United States, Tang Bao did not expect that he came to the "7-Eleven" convenience store brand, but unexpectedly learned that the company also has two oil blocks in the Gulf of Mexico. Thinking of the difficulty for Chinese oil companies to enter the field of oil exploration in the United States in the future, Tang Bao couldn't help but think about it, regardless of whether there was oil in these two oil blocks, he planned to hold it in his hands for the time being.

"The rights and interests in the two oil blocks were retained, and the other side business assets were all liquidated. Those that can be sold are sold, and those that can't be sold are directly closed. ”

"Boss, that company will lay off hundreds of people. We just took over the company, and we laid off so many employees, will it cause people's hearts to fluctuate? What's more, the Texas government and the Dallas city government will be concerned, they expect you to create more jobs for the local area, not eliminate jobs, and the layoffs will have a lot of negative effects on the acquisition, and maybe there will be more obstacles for the boss to buy certain companies in the future. Nick reminded.

The U.S. government is very concerned about the local employment situation, and many policies are aimed at improving employment, and Tang Bao is also aware of it.

But.

Lay off the company's side hustle, he will not be soft. Tang Bao also has no intention of going against the governments of Texas and Dallas, and for this reason, he intends to make up for it in other ways.

"Let's make up for it in other ways, we can appropriately expand the main retail business and increase employment opportunities to offset the layoffs in other businesses. Of course, if the employees of other businesses of the company are willing and competent to work in the retail business, they can adjust their work on the spot. ”

"I see." Nick Dow.

……

Angela left, but Nick took over the company without much turmoil.

The matter was also successfully completed.

Tang Bao plans to return to New York with Li Zhen. Just as he was about to leave, he welcomed two guests.

"Mr. Tang, congratulations on your wish fulfillment. It's good to take the liberty of visiting and not bothering you. Masatoshi Ito said with a slight bow and a smile.

"Ha, thanks to Mr. Ito's adult beauty. Without your humility, I'm afraid things wouldn't have gone so well. Tang Bao laughed.

Then, Tang Bao turned to look at the beautiful woman next to him and said, "Hello, Miss Kelly! ”

"Black Widow" Kelly actually appeared with Ito Masato, which surprised Tang Bao, but he didn't show it on his face at the moment.

"Hello, Don."

Kelly was familiar with herself, and automatically ignored Tang Bao's outstretched hand and gave Tang Bao a warm hug.

Forehead.

Kelly's enthusiasm was beyond Tang Bao's expectations, it seems that we have only met once, not so familiar.

Tang Bao invited the two into a reception room and said with a smile: "Do you know each other? "Masatoshi Ito came to visit, he could guess what the other party wanted to talk about, but the appearance of this woman Kelly was a little confusing, and the only answer he could think of was that Masatoshi Ito and Kelly knew each other.

"I owe Mr. Ito a favor and promise to help him acquire the American Southern Company." Kelly smiled faintly.

"Miss Kelly, you're welcome."

Facing Kelly, Masatoshi Ito was very humble.

"And Miss Kelly's purpose?" Now that the company has been acquired by him, Tang Bao asked hesitantly, from the attitude of Roger, Ito Masatoshi and others towards Kelly, it is not difficult for him to judge that Kelly, a woman known as "black widow", is probably really a little difficult, and he doesn't want to offend.

"Mr. Ito wants to obtain the permanent license of the '7-Eleven' brand in Japan, and on the basis of not changing the current shareholding structure of 7-Eleven in Japan, I hope that Tang and you will agree." Kelly showed her intentions.

"And what do I get?" Tang Bao said calmly.

"Giggles, Don, what do you want?" Kelly giggled, full of charm, showing the beautiful side of a woman to the fullest.

"Here we go again......"

Seeing Kelly's coquettishness, Tang Bao secretly exclaimed, he was clear about Kelly's changes in Roger's Manor, and to be honest, he couldn't figure out which one was the real her.

"How am I?" Kelly giggled.

"You ......"

For the beautiful stunner in front of him, few men are not moved, and Tang Bao is also ready to move, but he can't touch this woman, and he doesn't dare to touch it.

"Say, what do you want, and under reasonable circumstances, I can do you a favor as much as I can, as a reward for you." Suddenly, Kelly's temperament changed again, and she said coldly.

"Uh."

Tang Bao couldn't help but be stunned, he was still immersed in the moving scene of Kelly scratching her head a moment ago, and suddenly found that the stunner that had made him full of evil thoughts turned into an ice cube. This contrast is really difficult for him to apply.

"Okay, or no? Is this a difficult question to answer? Kelly said coldly.

"It's not a difficult question to answer, but I'll have to consider whether Miss Kelly's promise is worth the price." Tang Bao was not intimidated by Kelly's momentum, and said with a light smile. He is not insisting on increasing his stake in 7-Eleven in Japan, but only if he gets the cake away and he gets the report he deserves.

In other words, it depends on the value of Kelly's promise.

"Tang, you really don't save me any face, are you worried that my promise is not as good as the benefits you lost?" Kelly said with a sudden smile.

Tang Bao didn't say it, it was a tacit acquiescence.

"Business interests? Personal safety guarantee? Unsolvable enemies, I'll help you take them out? Large weapons that are hard to come by on the black market, such as helicopter gunships or even fighter jets? Or an opportunity to interact with the American political elite...... What do you need? Kelly said.

Depend on.

What the hell is this girl doing?

Hearing Kelly's words, Tang Bao couldn't help but be shocked, Kelly's energy was so great.

"Some time ago, I was vetoed by the New York State government to acquire Medi Investment Services......"

"Change the requirements."

Kelly shook her head.

"Can't you?" Tang Bao was a little disappointed.

"When you see the situation, you'll know how stupid your ideas are." Kelly said unceremoniously.

Alas.

Tang Bao sighed secretly, it seems that he has a long way to go to enter the rating field, and even this seemingly capable "black widow payment" can't be solved, or the transaction value is not worth her full help.

"After the New Year, I'm going to make some big acquisitions in the U.S., maybe with government blocks. When the time comes, if you can help me solve it, it will be cleared. Tang Bao said.

"New Year?"

Kelly wondered.

"When I say New Year, I mean the Chinese New Year." Tang Bao said.

"No problem. However, it is limited to one chance. Kelly readily agreed.

"Of course."

Tang Bao didn't think that Kelly could help him escort him all the way, and if he could help him solve a trouble, he wouldn't lose.

The issue is settled.

Masatoshi Ito achieved his goal as he wished, and humbly thanked Kelly.

"Okay, it's over, I'm leaving. You have something that you need me to do, make this call. Kelly dropped a business card, twisted her hips, and drifted away.

Holding the business card, Tang Bao smiled slightly and put it in his pocket.

"Mr. Tang, I hope we can cooperate happily in the future." Masatoshi Ito said, "I will submit your proposal to the board of directors for equal shareholding. I will visit again if there is a result. ”

"Always welcome!"

Tang Bao said with a smile, and Ito Masatoshi asked Kelly to get a permanent authorization to protect Japan's 7-Eleven equity while maintaining it.

He was not angry, on the contrary, Tang Bao was a little looking forward to whether Kelly's promise could help him.

"Mr. Ito, Nick is currently in charge of the company, you can talk to him in detail. I'm catching a plane to New York, and I'm missing. Tang Bao said.

"Okay."

Masatoshi Ito bowed slightly, said goodbye and left. Tang Bao and Li Zhen also boarded a flight to New York......
