"Ladies and gentlemen, my decision will not change, so let's think about a successor as soon as possible. www.biquge.info "Peter resisted the persuasion of the other directors and reminded calmly. Although he decided to leave BP Oil, he did not want to see the company fall into chaos.

After speaking.

Peter stood up and left the room, leaving behind a bewildered group of directors. No way, Peter's decision to resign was too sudden.

Peter packed up his belongings and left.

August 1st, three o'clock in the afternoon. BP issued a brief statement: "Peter resigns as chairman of BP Petroleum and is replaced by John Brown, CEO of BP's oil and gas exploration division. ”

The news is short, but it has attracted the close attention of countless people. The mainstream news media in the West all reported the news in a big way for the first time.

Well.

Peter is one of the protagonists of the event, so naturally attention is indispensable. However, when the media mentions him, it will inevitably associate him with BP's troubles and see him as the culprit. The British media cheered unanimously.

……

"Ha, Peter, see no...... How undesirable is your job at BP Oil? Tang Bao pointed to a copy of the Times and said with a smile.

This.

Peter smiled awkwardly, saying that BP's plight was often in the news, and the British news media rarely spoke positively about him. The shouts for him to get out of here came from time to time, and he got used to it. Now, he has voluntarily resigned, and the British media has kept a low profile without setting off firecrackers to celebrate.

Yes.

Peter was well aware that he was not popular with the British press.

"Huh, I will devote myself to the preparation of Tang Dynasty Energy Group. If you have no other command, I will do my work. Peter looked at Tang Bao and said.

"We've already talked about what should be said, you let it go!" Tang Bao said.

"Hmm."

Peter replied with a smile. I am still very happy about Tang Bao's attitude of delegating power, and this kind of unconstrained work is even more comfortable.

The media's attention was still focused on Peter's resignation and John Brown's leadership of the British BP oil company, and no one noticed that Peter, who was ridiculed and belittled by the media, quietly launched a move - Tang Dynasty Energy Group was quietly registered in British Bermuda.

Tang Dynasty Energy Group is just an empty shell, and even the basic organizational structure has not been built.

But.

Peter wasn't in a hurry, he knew that these were temporary, and that when he bought an oil and gas company, everything would be solved.

……

……

……

Peter carefully rummaged through the information, and soon locked on the acquisition target, then looked up the contact information of the other party, picked up the microphone, and dialed it.

"Hey, hello, I'm Owen."

"Hello, President Owen, I'm Peter!" Peter gently reported himself to the door.

"Peter? Which Peter ......" Owen was getting overwhelmed by the company's troubles, and suddenly received a strange phone call saying that it was Peter, and asked subconsciously. Peter, chairman of the board of directors of BP Oil, he didn't even dare to think about it. Although they are all peers, they are on two different levels. Even if Peter leaves, it will not be something he can climb.

"Well, the former chairman of the board of BP Oil." Peter reluctantly explained that his name has always been tied to BP Oil, and aside from this identity, his name is really popular.

"Ahh

Owen exclaimed in surprise, glanced at the microphone, and then roared, "I'm in a bad mood, whoever you are, don't play such a joke on me." ”

Forehead.

Now it's Peter's turn to be dumbfounded, he said the truth and no one believes it, what's going on? Before he could explain, he heard a snap.

Then there was a beeping sound, and the phone was hung up.

Grass.

Peter scolded secretly, and he was also very unhappy in his heart, thinking that if I left BP Petroleum in the UK, I couldn't even prove my identity.

Dial it again......

Peter pressed the number keys as hard as he could.

"President Owen, I'm Peter. Listen, I'm not kidding~" As soon as the phone rang, Peter immediately hurriedly emphasized, he was afraid that the other party would hang up the phone directly.

Well.

Owen looked at the microphone and scolded this person for something. I subconsciously want to hang up the phone, but when I think about it, it's also a trouble to be disturbed all the time, so just deal with it.

"Okay. Hello Mr. Peter, what are you looking for me? Owen said reluctantly.

"I'm going to buy Owen Oil!" Peter said directly.

"What?"

"President Owen, you heard me right, I said I was going to buy your Owen Oil Company." Peter repeated again.

Silence for a long time.

Owen came back to his senses and asked tentatively, "Are you really Mr. Peter, the former chairman of the board of directors of BP Oil?" ”

Peter rolled his eyes, what kind of person is this, he hasn't believed his identity for a long time. Helplessly, he said loudly: "It's like a fake." ”

Then.

Considering that the other party did not believe his identity, it was meaningless to reluctantly talk, so Peter simply proposed an interview.

……

A fancy café.

"Ah, Mr. Peter, it's you, hello, hello!" As soon as Owen saw Peter, he hurriedly stepped forward to shake hands excitedly.

Peter resigned, yes, but no one would be foolish enough to think that he would be down, even if he was at home, Owen needed to look up to him.

"Hello." Peter smiled and shook hands with the other person and said hello.

"I'm sorry to have been on the phone before...... I thought ......," Owen explained awkwardly, but didn't know how to explain it.

"Hah, I understand." Peter laughed.

After a brief pleasantries, Peter got to business. "President Owen, you know what I'm here for, I want to buy your Owen Oil Company."

"Well, I understand. I was also surprised why Mr. Peter suddenly resigned from BP Petroleum in the United Kingdom, intending to run his own oil company! Owen sighed. The outside media are hyping that Peter was forced to step down and left the British BP oil company in disgrace, but now it seems that this news is biased.

Scold.

Peter smiled and did not speak. Tang Dynasty Energy Group was not his asset, but he didn't need to explain anything to Owen.

"President Owen, what do you think?" Peter urged.

Forehead.

Owen was shocked and hesitated, to be honest, he had used the idea of selling the company before, but when he was sure that it was Peter who wanted to buy his oil company, a new idea arose in his mind, and the idea of selling the company faded. "Well, Mr. Peter, I would like to retain some of the shares of Owen Oil, but I can transfer the controlling stake to you."

"This won't work."

Peter shook his head slowly. After the acquisition of Owen Petroleum Company, its assets and personnel organization framework will be injected into Tang Dynasty Energy Group, as the foundation of Tang Dynasty Energy Group's development, it must be 100% acquisition. Owen continues to hold part of the shares, and even if Tang Dynasty Group has a controlling stake, it is still two companies that cannot be integrated.

"Ugh."

Owen was stunned, a little surprised by Peter's fierce reaction.

Call.

Peter also seemed to realize that his tone was too tough, and his tone softened slightly, explaining: "To tell you the truth, I want to integrate the assets and personnel of Owen Oil Company into the new company, and Owen Oil and Gas Company will not continue to exist. If you keep part of the equity, it's not easy to deal with it. ”

"It's as simple as converting the value of equity into your company in exchange for an equivalent amount of equity." Owen said. Peter is a big man in the British oil industry, and it is a very rare opportunity to take a stake in his oil company, and Owen will not miss it in vain.

Even with a very small stake, Owen can't ask for it.

“……”

Peter shook his head silently again, he knew Owen's calculations very well, but the other party was afraid that he would be disappointed. He picked out the Owen Oil Company, but it was not the only one, there were many oil companies that met the requirements.

Again.

Even if he agreed, Tang Bao wouldn't agree.

"President Owen, if you insist on a stake deal, there is no need for us to continue negotiations." Peter was very clear.

"This ......," Owen hesitated, hesitating to continue to hold it.

……

"I learned about Irving Oil, which has $3 billion in total assets, but at the same time has $2.56 billion in debt and no more than $500 million in net assets. The bottom line is that Owen has nearly a billion dollars of debt that will mature in a year, and you don't have that much money to pay it off. Peter reminded.

Forehead.

Owen was suddenly embarrassed, which was also a headache for him. He was unable to raise enough money to repay his debts and was at risk of defaulting on his debts. In the event of a debt default, it will cause panic among investors, and the value of Owen Oil will decrease dramatically, and it may even become insolvent.

Why?

Very simple.

For example, if a piece of oil and gas assets of Owen Petroleum Company is worth $1 billion, and suddenly there is a debt default, and Owen Petroleum is forced to sell the oil and gas assets to pay off the debt, and the potential buyer knows that you are facing difficulties and urgently need funds, and will definitely take advantage of the fire to rob and fiercely reduce the price. A buyer may only bid $800 million, or even $500 million, for an asset worth $1 billion normally......

"$500 million, if you agree, you can sign a contract directly and get the money." Peter stared at the hesitant Owen and said.

$500 million.

Owen was very impressed, but people are greedy, and Peter's first offer was as high as $500 million, so he naturally wanted to fight for a little more. When it comes to money, he doesn't be ambiguous, and he doesn't take into account that Peter is a big man in the oil field.

Pity.

Peter has been in business for decades, has led countless business negotiations, and has seen a variety of opponents, so naturally he will not give Owen a loophole.

"$500 million, agree to sign the contract; If I don't agree, I'll talk to the next one. Now that the oil market is sluggish and many oil and gas companies are struggling, I don't have to worry about finding a target. Peter said strongly.

Forehead.

Owen was slightly stunned, hesitated for a moment in his heart, and then nodded briskly: "Okay, Mr. Peter, I accept your acquisition offer!" (To be continued.) )
