Belch. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Peter was dumbfounded, he only casually complained a few words in front of Tang Bao about the difficult situation in the British BP oil company, and he didn't expect Tang Bao to suddenly say this.

Right now.

Tang Bao can be said to be the hottest financial investor, his companies are developing rapidly, many elites are eager to join Tang Bao's company, even the world's top professional managers are eager to join. However, Peter's energy has always been on BP Petroleum and he has never thought of leaving.

"Don, don't make fun of me, I've worked in the oil industry all my life, and my knowledge of the field of financial capital is very limited......" Peter shrugged his shoulders and shook his head with a wry smile.

Peter would politely decline the invitation, which Tang Bao expected, but there was no depression in his heart. However, after learning about Peter's deep affection for BP Petroleum in the United Kingdom, he dared to invite Peter, and naturally he would not give up easily. As the saying goes, as long as the hoe is swung well, there is no corner that cannot be dug down!

Scold.

Peter, Tang Bao is dug up. He was also confident that Peter would eventually leave BP Petroleum and join him.

"Peter, I'm not kidding, everything I say is very serious. Rather than reluctantly staying in the UK, BP Petroleum is not doing well, why not leave and follow me? I have absolute control over my company, and with my support, you can go ahead and do it without worrying about being pulled away by internal intrigues. Tang Bao said with a smile.

This.

Peter's face showed a hint of distraction, hesitated for a moment, and then shook his head firmly: "Tang, strictly speaking, I am a technical engineer in the oil field, and I am comfortable managing an energy company, but I am blind to other industries, and it is difficult to get started. ”

"So, if you were to stay in the oil industry, you would be willing to do it with me?" Tang Bao asked with a smile.

"This ......"

Peter became hesitant to answer.

"Why, Peter, are you perfunctory to me? You still don't want to leave, do you......" Tang Bao looked at the silent Peter and said.

on this.

Peter was silent. Following Tang Baogan, it may be more comfortable, but he has a very deep affection for BP Petroleum and hopes to lead it to develop and grow.

"Looks like I guessed right." Tang Bao said.

"Don, it's hard for you to understand my feelings for BP and I want to lead it out into the world until I retire."

"The point is that the other shareholders agree that you will remain at the helm of BP Petroleum until you retire?"

"Ugh."

Peter fell silent again, and Tang Bao struck the nail on the head, his position at BP Oil was already shaky, and calls for his resignation were growing louder...... Whether he can stabilize his position until he retires at home, he is really not sure in his heart.

He has a good relationship with many of the shareholders of BP Oil, but no one can guarantee that these friendships will stand the test of interests.

After all.

The essence of capital is to pursue profits, for the sake of profit, it can be cordial and enthusiastic, for the sake of profit, it can also become indifferent and ruthless.

So.

He would not be surprised that the like-minded shareholders with whom he had a close relationship would suddenly abandon him one day.

"I haven't been to a board meeting, but looking at BP's situation in the past few years, I think there will be no shortage of shareholders who are dissatisfied with you, the chairman of the board. You can suppress these dissatisfied voices for a while, but there will always be an outburst one day. ”

Peter argued, "When I get a $5 billion loan to solve BP's woes, the stock price will come back and the shareholder frustration will naturally disappear." ”

"The stock price is coming back? I don't know where you got your confidence to rely on the $5 billion loan I gave you? Well, to be honest with you, I am not optimistic about the economic trend in the next few years, and it is expected that international oil prices will continue to be sluggish, and oil and gas companies will usher in a cold winter! Tang Bao said solemnly.

In order to undermine Peter's confidence, Tang Bao made a rare mention of the future trend of international oil prices. This is not his nonsense, but it comes from the real historical trajectory. He remembers very clearly that the economic development of the United States and Europe in his previous life was weak, the demand for oil was sluggish, and the price of oil was sluggish, and it was not until 1994 that it improved.

"Will oil and gas companies usher in a cold winter......? Don, don't scare me! Peter was in a state of flux, and said in a hurry.

"Scaring you? I'm kind enough to remind you. BP Petroleum can stabilize the current situation and not continue to deteriorate. In my opinion, it's also hard. Therefore, instead of waiting for BP Oil to be in a mess and be fired in disgrace, it is better to leave on your own initiative. In the end, Tang Bao struck while the iron was hot.

No way.

Tang Bao plans to enter the oil industry in a big way, without an experienced CEO in the industry, he originally planned to entrust a headhunting company to find it, but he happened to run into Peter's troubles in the British BP oil company, so naturally he didn't have to say, and he dug into the corner directly.

As Chairman of the Board of BP Oil, Peter has extensive experience in managing oil and gas companies and an unfathomable network of contacts. Digging Peter, these will be used by Tang Bao, which will greatly accelerate Tang Bao's strategic layout in the oil and gas field.

"Ugh."

Peter couldn't cry or laugh all of a sudden, and after a long time, he still wanted him to resign and mess with him. He didn't understand why Tang Bao suddenly wanted to dig him. He didn't have the heart to think about poaching, but Tang Bao's statement that the oil and gas company would usher in a cold winter period touched his nerves.

Tang Bao's investment vision is unusually accurate, and what he said, even if he knew that the other party had other purposes, Peter didn't dare to ignore it.

Peter desperately wanted to confirm the truth, "Don, you predict that oil prices will continue to be low in the next few years, no jokes?" ”

"It couldn't be more true!" Tang Bao said seriously.

“……”

Peter was silent for a moment, if it was really as Tang Bao expected, the situation of BP Petroleum would be even more difficult. He is afraid that he will also suffer from the pond fish and be forced to leave the class. In recent years, BP oil has encountered a series of troubles, which has worn out the patience of shareholders, and if it cannot lead the stock market out of the predicament in time, shareholders will not be able to continue to tolerate him, and it is inevitable to take him under attack.

If that's the case, then I can't change my forced resignation, so what's the point of my hard-earned $5 billion loan? Suddenly, Peter felt like everything was boring.

"Heh, I predict that the oil market will remain sluggish in the next few years, but there are risks and opportunities, and I am also optimistic about the long-term prospects of the oil industry. So I plan to take advantage of the downturn in the oil industry to invest heavily in the oil industry and build a new energy aircraft carrier company. I would like to invite you to join my company and realize this great initiative together. Tang Bao sincerely extended the invitation.

"You're going into oil?" Peter was shocked.

"Of course, is it strange that I got into the oil field? When I first took a stake in BP Oil, you should have expected it to be today. Tang Bao asked with a natural smile.

"This."

Peter was immediately relieved, yes, there were many cooperation clauses in the agreement signed when Tang Bao became a shareholder of BP Petroleum in the United Kingdom, all of which were for the purpose of paving the way now. But he didn't understand why Tang Bao could make more profits in the financial capital market, so he wanted to squeeze into the special oil industry.

Oil is not an ordinary commodity, it contains more political attributes, and it is not possible to buy oil resources with money.

"Peter, how are you thinking about it?" Tang Bao asked.

Consider?

Peter didn't have time to think about it, but Tang Bao's invitation three times and twice, even if he didn't know how to raise it, he had to think about it carefully. Before, he could talk about different industries. But now Tang Bao invited him to manage his old business, which is still an oil company.

Let alone.

After talking to Tang Bao, he was also worried about the future of remaining at BP Petroleum in the United Kingdom. Following Tang Bao to build a new energy giant, he is very moved, but he also has doubts.

"Peter, it's more challenging to build an energy carrier company by yourself than it is for you to stick to BP Oil. And I think it will go more smoothly if you choose the former. Tang Bao said.

Well.

Peter nodded admittedly and said, "Phew, Don, you're right, it makes more sense to build an energy giant with your own hands." Okay, I'll accept the invitation and join your program. ”

"Haha, okay, Peter, I'm sure you won't regret your choice today." Tang Bao laughed, looking very happy with Peter's joining.

“……”

Peter smiled, but secretly answered in his heart, I hope so.

Peter dispelled the chaotic thoughts in his mind, and soon, he entered the state: "Don, oil resources are not ordinary commodities, there is national competition behind them, and they cannot be unhindered by money alone. Except for those controlled by the state, the oil resources discovered are basically monopolized by a few oil giants such as the United States and Europe, and it is very difficult for us, as latecomers, to get oil fields. Even if they do, they are mostly inferior oil fields that oil giants don't look down on. ”

Tang Bao said with a smile: "Ha, the oil giants monopolize most of the oil resources, this is an established fact, and we have no way to change it." But not all of the earth's oil resources have been explored, and we can invest a lot of money in finding new oil fields. ”

After a little pause, Tang Bao continued: "What's more, we are not empty-handed, to tell you a secret, in fact, before coming to the UK, I reached a cooperation agreement with the Emir of Kuwait and obtained block C of the Ravkh oil field, with oil reserves of at least 2 billion barrels!" ”

2 billion barrels?

Peter looked at Tang Bao dumbfounded, 2 billion barrels of oil reserves, which is more than the oil reserves controlled by the entire British BP oil company. (To be continued.) )
