At about three o'clock in the morning, Salim came out of the building of the British Treasury with a gloomy face, hurriedly started the car and left.

……

Inside the office.

Sir Middleton and Peter were talking in a whisper, discussing their next plans.

"Peter, BP can't mess around, do you understand?" Sir Middleton stared at Peter and reminded solemnly.

Although BP Petroleum is a privately owned listed company, the location of its operations is critical to the security of the UK's oil energy supply. Similarly, its shareholding structure will also affect the UK's energy security, and they will have to carefully examine the implications.

Therefore.

Sir Middleton rejected Salim's request for a three-year extension...... He could see that Peter was a little impressed by Salim's conditions.

It's not hard to see why.

Salim's proposal is equivalent to giving 12.43% of the voting rights to Peter for free, and obtaining these voting rights will greatly strengthen the control.

In this sense, perhaps Peter would have wanted to extend it longer.

But.

At the last minute, Sir Middleton did not reject the request for an extension entirely, but simply shortened the three-year period to one year.

The other quid pro quo remains the same......

"Hmm. Middleton{Sir Middleton, please rest assured, I have found investors in advance to prepare to take over, which is enough to ensure that the stock price is stable. Peter assured.

"That's good!"

Sir Middleton nodded in satisfaction and smiled.

……

New York, USA.

Since attending Wagner's banquet, Tang Bao finally has some stable network in New York. No, in recent days, Tang Bao has frequently received invitations from celebrities in the business community from all sides, and Tang Bao has changed his previous style. As long as there is enough time, he will gladly agree to the invitation.

Time.

Tang Bao has become the most active business rookie!

"Hey, Horst, do you have anything to do with me?" After Tang Bao attended a charity dinner, it was nearly eleven o'clock when he returned.

From afar, Horst was seen reclining beside his Bentley.

"Hu ......" saw Tang Bao appear, Horst also breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly rushed over, and said, "Boss, you are finally back." ”

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

It was past eleven o'clock in the evening. Early after work, Horst ran to the door of his dormitory to wait, there must be something important.

Recently, everything seems to be normal with Phoenix Investment Group, and there should be no surprises. Thinking of this, Tang Bao felt a little at ease.

"Boss, just this afternoon, Mr. Peter, the chairman of the board of directors of BP Petroleum in the United Kingdom, personally called me and said that they are fully prepared and will come over tomorrow to sign the investment agreement with you." Peter paraphrased Peter's words word for word. Then he asked suspiciously, "Boss, what do you mean by Peter's words, did you and Peter reach some kind of cooperation agreement?" ”

"Hehe, that's good!"

I heard that Peter was going to come over and sign the investment agreement. Tang Bao's mood suddenly improved, to be honest, Peter didn't respond for several days, and he was a little worried.

And then.

Tang Bao briefly told Horst about the process, "A few days ago. I had a secret meeting with Peter, and the result was that I would inject two billion dollars into BP Oil! ”

"Ah......h

Horst was surprised.

Thought. Didn't the boss like Peter's warning at the beginning, why did he suddenly inject a large amount of money into BP Oil?

Let alone......

BP oil is doing badly.

"Boss. Phoenix Investment Group's funds have been basically allocated, and there is no excess funds at all, so it has launched a large investment. Again...... Oil prices continue to be depressed and many investors are retreating, will we be a little presumptuous to invest in the oil sector at this time? Horst said worriedly.

Hear the words.

Tang Bao showed a faint smile, at this time, there is an oversupply of oil in the international market, and oil prices are low, and it is normal for Horst to worry about this investment.

And he knows very well that oil prices are unlikely to improve significantly in the next few years, and investment in the oil and energy sector has shrunk sharply.

But.

This is his opportunity to enter the field of oil and energy!

"Hehe, Horst, you don't have to worry about the funds." Tang Bao said with a light smile, "Because this investment project has nothing to do with Phoenix Investment Group......

"Huh?"

Horst didn't understand. Peter had called his office, how could it be that it had nothing to do with Phoenix Investment Group.

"I will inject capital into BP Petroleum in my own name." Tang Bao seemed to be able to see Horst's inner thoughts clearly, and said with a smile: "I told Peter that when he has news, he can notify you directly." "Nowadays, mobile phones have also appeared, but they are very bulky, and Tang Bao, who is used to those small and flexible mobile phones in later generations, how can he look at this broken thing and be too lazy to use it.

"Forehead ......"

Horst was a little surprised, he didn't expect to get such an answer. He knew that Tang Bao had other investment projects, but he felt that Phoenix Investment Group must be the most important, but at this moment, he heard that a large investment project of up to two billion US dollars had nothing to do with Phoenix Investment Group, and he said in his heart that it was false not to lose it. Although he is not optimistic about this investment......

But.

Horst quickly adjusted.

"Boss, even if it's your private investment, I hope you can decide carefully. In recent years, almost all of his peers who have invested in the oil and energy sector have not been satisfactory...... "Horst advised.

"Hmm. I'll think about it. ”

Tang Bao said with a smile. Regardless of whether Horst's opinion was right or wrong, his attitude of thinking about Tang Bao was commendable.

But.

Tang Bao didn't plan to explain his plan to Horst.

……

The next day, it was more than three o'clock in the afternoon.

Crown Hotel.

Tang and Peter skillfully signed their names on both contracts, marking the $2 billion capital injection agreement, officially taking effect.

"Don, welcome to BP Oil!" Peter held Tang Bao's hand and said with a smile. According to the agreement, after three years, Tang Bao will have the right to convert the billion-dollar investment into common stock. There is also the authority to increase the common equity to no more than 10%.

Therefore, Peter is not wrong to say that Tang Bao is a member of BP Petroleum in the United Kingdom.

"Rest assured, Peter. I'll split the $2 billion into three payments in two months, and the first $500 million will be available today! ”

At this time, Tang Bao understood what Peter cared about most, of course, the time when the funds arrived. The separate payment is not because Tang Bao has insufficient funds. After the stock market crash, Tang Bao idle more than $10 billion of funds, and spent less than half of his acquisition of the Southern Company and his domestic investment. But more than $6 billion remains......

"Okay."

Peter smiled and nodded, investors, rarely simply pay the money, there will always be a delay. Not to mention that this is a huge investment of two billion dollars, and the possibility of completing it with a one-time payment is almost none. Tang Bao promised to complete the payment in two months, which has greatly exceeded his expectations.

I have long heard that Tang Bao is worth trillions.

Now.

Peter finally realized. For another investor, the $2 billion injection may be paid over several years.

"Hmm. Tang Dynasty. For this transaction, I hope you can keep it confidential for the time being, and we need to pick the best time to announce this news to the public. Peter said.

"No problem at all!"

For Peter's request, Tang Bao had no opinion at all. He also knew that Peter must be hoping to use this "good" news to boost market confidence.

In front of Peter.

Tang Bao called the Swiss bank and asked for a transfer directly. Peter was satisfied that he had received $500 million in funds from the account of BP Oil.

……

Saying.

Salim returned to his lodgings with a gloomy face. It's five o'clock in the morning, I haven't slept all night, and my head is a little dizzy. But the thought of his meeting with Sir Middleton made him unable to sleep. After simply washing his face with cold water, Salim hurriedly sorted out the content of the meeting.

He needs to get this back home as soon as possible......

Soon.

Salim got in touch with the country, and after getting his approval, he hurried back to Kuwait.

After getting off the plane.

Salim rushed directly to the emir's palace by special car.

"Tell me, what the hell is going on?" Jaber III, who had been waiting for him to see Salim appear, asked very calmly. Worried that the phone would be monitored, Salim simply mentioned a few words during the call, but did not say it explicitly, but only asked to return to China to report back.

"Uncle, the British have intervened in the Kuwait Investment Authority's acquisition of BP Oil. Sir Middleton interviewed me overnight......" Salim said very heavily.

"Oh? The result? ”

Jameel III remained calm.

"Whew...... The Kuwait Investment Authority reduced BP's stake to less than 10 per cent within a year, with a 3.5 per cent stake sold directly to BP at market price. Otherwise, the UK government will launch an antitrust investigation......"

Salim reported.

Then.

He said angrily: "I have long warned that controlling BP Oil is an unrealistic idea, and if you stop early, you will not be robbed by the British." "In the presence of Jamil III, Salim did not hide his anger.

Then.

Salim recounted how he had been threatened by Sir Middleton and Peter.

"Salim, what do you want to do?"

Jameel III was also somewhat annoyed by the actions of the British, but he, as the emir of Kuwait, would have thought more, and the most important thing was that Kuwait could not anger the British. So even if Jameel III is angry at this moment, he must try to keep himself calm.

For banditry in the UK.

Jameel III did not dare to fight back forcefully, but could only endure ......

"Uncle, I think it's ......," Salim whispered in a low voice as Jameel III clung to his ear, a smile constantly rising on his face, as if he had found a way to get revenge. (To be continued......) R1292
