Sam McCormick is nearly 40 years old, wearing a blue shirt, with a burly figure, looking a bit like Nicolas Cage, and said with a smile: "Mr. Lu, the McCormick family has an oil field in New Jersey with an annual output of 30 million barrels under development. However, there is currently a lack of follow-up funding. I am interested in selling part of my stake and I wonder if Mr. Lu is interested in learning more about this project. ā€

Lu Jing tasted the red wine in his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. McCormick, I will return to China in two days." Tactfully refused.

McCormick smiled enthusiastically: "As long as Mr. Lu is willing, the matter can be handed over to the company's personnel." The $3 billion project, known as Hiace 2, is worth $3 billion. I intend to sell 5% of my equity to raise funds. Why don't we make an appointment tomorrow at the Hilton to talk? ā€

Lu Jing deliberately pondered for a while, did not refuse, pretended to think for dozens of seconds, and said with an apologetic expression: "Mr. McCormick, to be honest, I have little interest in the oilfield project. ā€

McCormick was surprised and said, "Mr. Lu, you must have doubts about the return on investment, don't worry, I guarantee that the return on investment ratio is less than 6%. ā€

As he spoke, he patted his forehead in annoyance, "Oh, I forgot about business as soon as I talked about business." Mr. Lu, I can introduce you to Mr. Andy Morgan. Mr. Andy Morgan is the star of today's gathering, and you deserve to meet him. ā€

Xu Xue's expression moved slightly, she didn't expect that today's most difficult problem would be solved so easily. looked at Lu Jing expectantly.

…

…

There is a gap of a few minutes between dance music. Stuart Gauld and Edmund Abbott each danced with their female companions and chatted over a glass of wine.

The guests in the magnificent and spacious banquet hall did not seem crowded, look at the figures of Lu Jing and Xu Xue. Sam McCormick was lobbying, and an eerie smile appeared on Galder's round fat face. "Edmund, do you think Lu will agree?"

"It's hard to say." Edmund Abbott's horse had a slight bead of sweat on his face, and said with a smile: "Chairman Pittman thinks that he can ignore Hehua's operation, but Hehua may not be at ease in his heart. They meet the needs of Mr. Andy Morgan. ā€

"Hey, as long as Lu agrees, the news of Sam's meeting with him at the Hilton Hotel tomorrow spreads, and then the Wall Street Journal cooperates with the publicity, and Hua's ambitions in oil will be confirmed. This is enough to cause everyone's dissatisfaction. ā€

"To be precise, it's the Rockefeller family, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley who are dissatisfied." Edmund Abbott shrugged. Said in a relaxed tone.

"Haha!" Stuart Gald laughed, his round belly trembling slightly. If the news spreads, Hehua's development in the United States will suffer a serious setback.

Now Lu Jing is probably weighing the gains and losses of meeting Andy Morgan and investing in the oil field. $150 million to buy the opportunity to enter the JPMorgan Chase circle, presumably Lu Jing will not refuse.

…

…

Sam McCormick looked at Lu Jing with a smile. He could see that Lu Jing's companion was from the East, and the beautiful Miss Xu was already tempted.

Lu Jing sipped the red wine gently, feeling a little tired in his heart. Sam McCormick's acting skills are not very clever. The twist is too jerky.

It's an obvious exchange. Take a junk stake in exchange for the chance to meet Andy Morgan.

Americans are very innovative, and to put it mildly, they are brain-opening. Even the land of the moon can be divided and auctioned. It is not forbidden by law. There have been people who have become millionaires because of this.

Sam McCormick is blatantly coming to him to rob. $150 million to buy the road. But...

Lu Jing said slowly: "Mr. McCormick, thank you for your kindness, I am not interested in the Sea Lion 2 oilfield project. If you would like to introduce me to Mr. Andy Morgan. I would be very grateful. ā€

Xu Xue looked at Lu Jing in astonishment: I actually gave up like this! It's just that, out of trust in Lu Jing, he forcibly didn't speak.

Sam McCormick shrugged. He spread his hands and said, "Mr. Lu, it's a pity. I'm going to have to ask my girlfriend to dance. He pointed to the dance music and turned to leave. He muttered words like "poor ghost" in his mouth.

Xu Xue took Lu Jing's hand and walked to the dance floor in the middle of the banquet hall with the elegant music. While asking, "Lu Jing, why did you reject him?" $150 million is a lot, but if we can talk to Andy Morgan, we can even eliminate the potential danger of JPMorgan Chase. Andy Morgan's preferences we've gathered. ā€

Lu Jing glanced at Xu Xue with a smile, and sighed lightly: "Xu Xue, your IQ has dropped tonight." ā€

"You..."Xu Xue glared at Lu Jing depressedly and held Lu Jing's waist, "Reason." ā€

"According to the information we have gathered, the three major families in the Chicago consortium are McCormick, Wood, and Crown. Sam McCormick is a member of the McCormick family. The Chicago consortium has core competencies in the agro-processing industry and the traditional agricultural machinery industry. At the same time, they have a significant stake in the original Standard Oil, which is now Mobil-Exxon. Obviously, they had a better relationship with Rockefeller. You're sure he's qualified to introduce Andy Morgan to us. ā€

However, Morgan and Rockefeller's industries have long been interpenetrating. Are you sure he doesn't have the qualifications to introduce Andy Morgan to us? Xu Xue asked rhetorically. Rivalry.

I like Lu Jinggui and I like Lu Jing. In business judgment, she will not blindly follow feelings. She is a tough and decisive business elite.

What's more, Lu Jing made fun of her declining IQ, which made her feel very unhappy. Just because I like you doesn't mean you can belittle me.

Lu Jing hadn't been choked for a long time, he was stunned, and then he smiled and said, "Yes, I'm too full of words." Xu Xue, just now Stuart Gauld and Edmund Abbott were hostile to Hehua.

There is no shortage of examples in business of convincing a person in a matter of minutes. What's missing is the opportunity to meet. What we're missing now is a cocktail party with Andy Morgan. Sam McCormick with whom I was with would be there to help us fit into the JPMorgan circle. ā€

Xu Xue didn't expect Lu Jing to admit defeat to her calmly and calm down. If you think about the landing scene carefully, the momentum suddenly weakens. whispered: "But, he asked for $150 million to buy the road!" ā€

Lu Jing smiled. "Do you think Hehua, or do you think I'm only worth $150 million?" Zhang Ziqiang kidnapped Li Chaoren's eldest son and asked for 1 billion. With his net worth, what is $150 million?

It's unreliable to put your hopes in the hope that Sam McCormick will do his best if he receives $150 million. Lu Jing has never been afraid to speculate on Americans with the greatest malice. He concluded that Sam McCormick had bad intentions.

Xu Xue lowered her head abruptly, a little embarrassed. She admits that what Lu Jing said is right, but she doesn't want to admit that her IQ has dropped tonight.

Xu Xue looked very beautiful when she lowered her head. It is easy for a man to feel fulfilled by impressing a strong beauty. Lu Jing smiled and said softly: "Xu Xue, love makes a woman's IQ drop, I can understand it." Help me figure out how to meet Andy Morgan. I'm asking you for help. ā€

"you." Xu Xue lightly stepped on Lu Jing's foot, biting her beautiful pink red lips. "I want to get paid." "Xu Xue is a person who has been in business for a long time. In Lu Jing's gentle words, her embarrassment disappeared quickly.

Lu Jing smiled, "I'll go back to Hong Kong and invite you to go to the bar." ā€

"Okay, you said it." Xu Xue smiled. Lu Jing's words actually showed that he already knew her thoughts. This made her feel a lot lighter. After thinking about it, he said, "Lu Jing, why don't I invite Andy Morgan to dance?" ā€

Information gathered in the afternoon from eBay VP Ford Cooper shows that Andy Morgan loves long-legged plump beauties. Her tall height is petite compared to Westerners, but it can be classified as long-legged and plump.

Lu Jing shook his head without thinking and refused: "No." "That's a categorical one. He added: "Xu Xue, I don't need a woman to sell herself for the benefit of the company. Maybe there is something I can't see in Hehua, but what I know will definitely not be allowed. ā€

Lu Jing's refusal was very resolute, which made Xu Xue's heart swell with a burst of joy. She's just a mention yƬ. If Lu Jing needs her to pick a dance with Andy Morgan to talk to, she can make such a "sacrifice".

However, Lu Jing's refusal made her even happier. He hummed softly, looking unusually supple and gentle. Dancing to the rhythm of Lu Jing. Until the dance music is over, he and Lu Jing come out of the dance floor together.

Two dances were danced. JPMorgan Chase's cocktail party has entered the second half. Chen Xujiang turned around and returned. Lu Jing told McCormick about the invitation just now.

Chen Xujiang pondered for a while and said with a smile: "This is obviously a conspiracy. Luckily, before we came, we decided on a strategy of just contact. If you decide on a strategy to invest in the U.S. industry, I'm afraid you'll be tricked. Now that the task of lobbying is complete, the contact with Andy Morgan can be operational over time, without risking it for the time being. Lu Jing's prudent strategy was right. ā€

Lu Jing did not avoid the joy of stepping into the trap, and said with a little urgency: "Uncle Chen, that's what I said. But tonight was a good opportunity to get in touch with Andy Morgan. ā€

Xu Xue comforted and persuaded softly: "Lu Jing, just do your best." ā€

Lu Jing nodded and said, "I'll go outside and smoke a cigarette." You talk. "It's at a loss now, and I interrupted Xu Xue's train of thought a few times just now. He needed to think quietly alone. When he thinks, he likes to smoke to stimulate his brain.

…

…

"I actually avoided it." Sam McCormick came back and told him about the situation, and the horse-faced Edmund Abbott sighed, "Now you guys take my word for it." ā€

Stuart Gauld smiled optimistically: "On the contrary, I see something beneficial. From Sam's description, we can know that Lu is a very cautious person. But this caution meant that he wouldn't trust anyone he didn't know tonight.

With no one to refer, Lu still couldn't meet Mr. Andy Morgan. If you can't get into the circle of JPMorgan Chase, how can Edmund start when he says that he will be a threat and an upstart in ten years? ā€

Sam McCormick and Edmund Abbott were slightly stunned, then they all laughed and raised their glasses: "Cheers!"
