Peter and Ayrt realized the seriousness of the matter and were preparing to apply for assistance from the British government.

"Dingding......

Suddenly, the dull atmosphere was broken by the ringing of the telephone.

In recent days.

Peter was annoyed by all kinds of phone calls, so when he heard the phone ringing, he instinctively felt a little disgusted and didn't want to pay attention to it.

But reason told him not to be willful!

"Hey, hello, I'm Peter!" Peter picked up the phone and said very politely. There was no way, he was afraid that if he didn't pay attention, he would offend a shareholder who asked him to hold him accountable.

"Hello, Mr. Peter. I'm Horst and I'm good news for you, my boss has returned from a trip. Horst laughed.

"Ahh It's true? Peter, in despair, suddenly received the news of Tang Bao's appearance, and was pleasantly surprised to wonder if his ears were hallucinating, he was really afraid that it was just empty joy.

These days.

Peter called Horst almost every day to inquire about Tang Bao's whereabouts, but the result was the same, no one knew Tang Bao's whereabouts.

Unexpectedly, just when he felt that there was no drama, Horst suddenly brought him a surprise.

"Ha, Mr. Peter, do you think I'm going to joke with you? The boss is indeed back, and he should be staying at school at this time, well, as for whether he will leave suddenly again, I don't know. Horst laughed.

"Well, thank God...... Don, it's finally back. Peter muttered to himself excitedly, and then hurriedly, "Horst, I want to discuss something important with Don. Please tell Don to stop leaving quietly. I'm really in a hurry, please......"

"Okay. I'll tell my boss! Horst readily agreed.

"Hmm. I immediately went to book a flight to New York. ”

After hanging up the phone.

Peter's heavy heart seemed to be much lighter and more energetic. Make a quick call and ask his secretary to book him a ticket.

"Book me the fastest flight to New York."

At this time.

Tang Bao was the only life-saving straw that Peter could grasp, and he couldn't help but pay attention to it.

"Peter, you have to understand that the share price of BP Oil in the UK at this time is very bad. Maybe Don won't easily agree to your request. ”

Looking at Peter excitedly, Ayrt couldn't bear to pour cold water on him. But he had to remind Peter to recognize the reality, otherwise he might have greater hopes and greater disappointments. Although he hadn't met Tang Bao and didn't know what kind of character the other party was, he was famous on Wall Street. Who can easily be swayed by others? The only thing that attracts them, there is only one thing, and that is profit!

"Well, I know, Ayrt. I'm ready to make some necessary concessions in exchange for Don's support, we need Don's support......" After the excitement, Peter calmed down, and he knew it very well. He was in a weak position, and it was not as easy as he imagined to beg Tang Bao to pay $1.5 billion in advance.

But.

No matter how hard it is. Peter also has to go, because if he applies for assistance from the government, the cost will be greater, and it is more cost-effective to ask Tang Bao compared to the two.

……

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Peter and two directors of the British oil company BP arrived in New York. Hurriedly booked a hotel to settle in.

Without having time to rest, Peter went to Phoenix Investment Group in person.

Although Peter knew that Tang Bao was staying on the campus of Columbia University. But the campus is so big, where can he find it, it is more reliable to go directly to the headquarters of Phoenix Investment Group to find Horst.

"Hello, Miss, I want to see your President Horst." Peter walked into the Phoenix Investment Group building and explained his intention to the young lady at the front desk.

"Hello, sir, do you have an appointment?" The front desk lady replied politely, now with the increasing influence of Phoenix Investment Group, there are countless people who come to Horst, but not everyone can meet Horst.

"Appointment?"

Peter was slightly stunned, he never thought that the chairman of the board of directors of BP would take the initiative to meet a person and be asked if he had an appointment. However, he understands this very well, the president of Phoenix Investment Group, anyone can see it casually.

"Uh. I'm sorry, beautiful miss, I didn't have an appointment. However, please give President Horst a call, and even if a man named Peter comes to him, he will understand. ”

The front desk lady saw that Peter was talking extraordinary, not like a person who fished in troubled waters, so she nodded and agreed. I immediately picked up the phone and dialed it.

Soon.

The front desk lady smiled and said, "Mr. Peter, you can go in." ”

"Thank you!"

Peter thanked him and hurried in.

Then.

When Horst heard that Peter had come to the door, he didn't drag it out, and went out to greet him, just in time to meet Peter, who was hurrying quickly.

"Mr. Peter, I didn't expect you to be in New York so soon." With that, Horst welcomed Peter into his office while the secretary brought coffee.

After taking a seat.

Peter explained his intention directly: "Horst, I think you should know my intentions, I want to meet Don as soon as possible, please take me to meet him!" ”

Hear the words.

Horst was slightly surprised, he didn't expect Peter to be so anxious. But when he thought of the stock price of BP Oil, he immediately understood.

"Okay, no problem."

Horst replied very simply, he had not thought of embarrassing Peter here, not to mention, this was ordered by his boss in advance.

Walk around the Phoenix Investment Group building.

"Uh, Horst, don't we have to drive?" Peter asked in confusion when he saw Horst walking straight forward.

"Driving? No need. It's not far from the Columbia University campus, just a short walk away. In the past, I used to walk to my boss when I went to find him. Besides, sitting in the office for a long time is not good for your health, and walking more is considered exercise. Horst said with a smile as he walked.

Exercising?

Peter almost couldn't hold back. Secretly scolding you for playing with me, knowing that I was in a hurry, I walked over so unhurriedly. Make a heart.

In the midst of Peter's incessant slander, the two soon arrived on the campus of Columbia University.

"Huh?"

"Hey, normally, the boss stays in the library to study when he's fine. It was easy to find him in the library......"

As if seeing Peter's puzzlement, Horst explained with a faint smile.

"Hello, Mrs. Smith, is Don in there?" Horst skillfully came to the borrowing office. Find Smith and ask.

"It's you. Don, in it. I'll find you ......."

……

Soon.

Tang Bao appeared.

"Huh. Mr. Peter, why are you here? Tang Bao looked at Peter, who was standing beside Horst, and asked pretending to be very surprised.

"Don. You've probably heard that the stock of BP Oil is in serious crisis and we need your help. ”

Forehead.

For Peter's straightforwardness, Tang Bao felt a little surprised. But he didn't give a clear response, just smiled and said, "Let's find a place to sit down and talk." ”

"More than willingly!"

Tang Bao did not directly refuse, but was willing to talk in detail, and Peter was very happy.

Ten minutes later, inside a café on the Columbia campus. Don Bao, Peter, and Horst sat around. They each ordered a cup of coffee.

"Oh, Peter, tell me what you want me to help you with?" Tang Bao gently stirred the coffee. Asked with a smile.

Let's be honest.

Tang Bao saw Peter flying from London so eagerly, his heart burst into laughter, Peter came eagerly, and then thought of the British BP oil company's action in recent days is getting weaker and weaker, which can only show that they have almost reached the point of exhaustion.

Peter's intention, I am afraid that I can't get rid of the word "money". Rich. Only then can he continue to deal with the many "air forces".

Really.

Peter's next words also confirmed Tang Bao's guess.

"Hmm...... Tang Dynasty. As you should know, BP Petroleum is facing a difficult situation, and we have some problems with cash flow. ”

Peter has nothing to hide from the implementation of the British BP oil company's lack of money. He also understands that a shrewd person like Tang Bao, who plays capital operation, can roughly judge this situation from the actions of the British BP oil company in recent days.

So, Peter simply admitted this fact himself.

"Don, we hope you can pay the remaining $1.5 billion in advance." After Peter finished speaking, his eyes never took off Don's face.

It seems that he wants to observe Tang Bao's attitude.

Of course.

He was also afraid that Tang Bao would not give him a chance, so he refused directly. At this moment, the British BP oil company has run out of ammunition, and Tang Bao is the only life-saving straw they can grasp.

"Peter, I'd love to help you, but your request doesn't fit into the agreement, and besides, with the stock of BP Oil, how can you make me feel comfortable paying you the remaining $1.5 billion?" Tang Bao looked at Peter, who looked urgent, and asked with a smile.

Tang Bao's fluttering words made Peter's heart much heavier.

But.

Peter understood what Tang Bao meant, and it was not impossible to pay him $1.5 billion in advance, but he needed to come up with a guarantee that would reassure him, or that there would be something enough to entice him to take the risk. In this regard, Peter had already prepared in his heart, and he did not expect Tang Bao to give him 1.5 billion US dollars easily.

"Hmm. Don, BP Oil is the UK's largest energy company, providing nearly ninety percent of the UK's oil consumption. Even if there is any crisis, he will not go out of business, because the British government will not be able to watch him go bankrupt, and in the same way, as long as BP does not fail, your investment will not be in any danger. Your investment income will not be affected by stock price fluctuations......"

"Theoretically, yes. But why should I pay you $1.5 billion in advance, I have two months and I can do a lot of things with $1.5 billion. ”

“……”

Peter couldn't help but be speechless for a long time.

Call.

"Don, how do you want to pay us $1.5 billion in advance?" Peter adjusted his mood and asked softly.

Hey.

Isn't it over if you have been so knowledgeable? And tell me it's so useless...... Seeing that Peter finally lowered his figure. Compromised, Tang Bao smiled secretly in his heart.

"Then it depends on what kind of conditions you can give, if it's tempting enough. I wouldn't mind helping you out of your current predicament. ”

"Oh?"

Peter's eyes lit up. If Tang Bao was willing to make a move, they would be much easier. However, he understood that he was afraid that he would have to pay enough to attract Tang Bao to help. Recalling the last time he negotiated with Tang Bao, Peter could also roughly judge what kind of conditions he needed to pay.

There was a slight silence.

Peter said: "Don, I know you're very interested in BP shares and maybe want to take more shares. But. I would like to solemnly remind you that there is a 10% equity cap. There is no harm to you, and this restriction can help you avoid a lot of trouble. ”

Tang Bao just smiled and didn't express his opinion.

See here.

Peter was a little anxious, he knew what could impress Tang Bao the most. It is undoubtedly the stake in BP Oil. But this is something he can't let go of easily.

"Don, as long as you promise to pay us $1.5 billion in advance, and cooperate with BP Oil to stabilize the stock price, I can agree that you will immediately convert one billion dollars into ordinary shares!" It was a long struggle before Peter offered his terms.

According to the original agreement.

Tang Bao's billion-dollar convertible shares, which could not be converted into ordinary shares until three years later, have now agreed to convert the shares ahead of schedule, and at a time when BP Oil's share price is at its lowest, undoubtedly at a very low price. Amazing benefits have been achieved.

Peter estimated in his heart.

According to the current market stock price of $35, after the $1 billion is converted into common shares, Tang Bao can get about 8% of the equity.

"At what price?" Tang Bao said with a smile. Truth be told, Peter's conditions moved him, but he still didn't let go easily.

"Based on yesterday's closing price." Peter gritted his teeth and said. He agreed to this condition, and his heart was dripping blood. In the past, he thought that the stock price of more than $50 was undervalued, but now it is only more than $30. It is simply the price of cabbage, and Tang Bao transferred shares at this time. It's no different from a direct robbery of BP Oil. What's even more tragic is that this was sent by Peter himself for the other party to rob.

But.

Tang Bao didn't seem to be satisfied, and asked with a smile: "Peter, do you think the stock price of BP Oil Company has fallen to the bottom?" ”

"Huh?"

Peter didn't understand what Tang Bao meant for a while.

"In other words, if I don't go to the market, do you think BP Oil's share price will stay at $35 for some time to come?"

Moment.

Peter was silent. Although he was reluctant to admit it, he knew that the share price of BP Petroleum would only get lower unless he agreed to the terms of the Kuwait Investment Authority......

"My requirements are not high, I don't bother to care about the conversion price, and directly use one billion dollars to obtain 10% of the equity." Tang Bao said with a smile.

This......

When he heard Don say that he was not very demanding, Peter was still happy, but after hearing the latter words, he suddenly felt bad.

Fake.

Isn't that a big deal?

Peter finally saw Tang Bao's bloody side, and opened his mouth to directly cut the valuation of BP Petroleum Company by one-fifth.

"Hehe, Peter, the stock price of BP Petroleum is all empty now, maybe it won't take a few days, it may fall below thirty dollars, or even twenty dollars......"

……

I struggled for a long time.

Peter finally nodded helplessly and agreed to Tang Bao's request. Now, he has only three ways to go, first, to agree to Tang Bao's request; secondly, to agree to the request of the Kuwait Investment Authority; The third is to apply to the British government for help. Compared with the three, he only chose the one that was most beneficial to him.

He was confident that even the directors would agree with his decision!

"Haha, okay. Peter, you'll be proud of your decision today. Seeing Peter nodding, Tang Bao couldn't help laughing.

I hope so.

Peter thought so in his heart.

"Don, when will the $1.5 billion arrive?" Peter's main concern is money, and only by getting sufficient funds can the stock price be stabilized.

"After signing the share transfer contract, you can do it at any time." Tang Bao replied with a smile.

After a while.

Tang Bao suddenly said: "By the way, to help BP Oil Company stabilize its stock price, this requires Phoenix Investment Group...... It is possible to temporarily eat up BP oil shares in large quantities. ”

"Huh?"

Peter couldn't help but be suspicious. Tang Bao got 10% of the shares, and the Phoenix Investment Group controlled by him will have a problem if he eats a large amount of shares? But after thinking about it, since you need to buy stocks, you must buy stocks.

"Hey. Don't worry, Peter. The stocks bought by Phoenix Investment Group are temporary, and they will choose to sell them at the right time. ”

……

Generally.

Tang Bao and Peter talked very smoothly, and within a few days, the two sides quickly signed a share transfer agreement, Tang Bao directly got 10% of the share price of BP Oil, and Peter received 1.5 billion US dollars, and also got Tang Bao's promise to help stabilize the stock price......
