Chapter 209: Something Went Wrong

Chen Jianqiu raised his hand and interrupted Abiot, who wanted to continue talking.

"Didn't find the owner of this land, did you?"

Abiot was silent.

"Little things, Scott doesn't know." Chen Jianqiu waved his hand, "I told him just now." ”

But he suddenly remembered something and asked, "You were downstairs just now?" ”

"Well, I've been downstairs all the time."

"Who's that guy who ran out of Scott's room before me?"

Abiot thought about it for a while, and probably understood who Chen Jianqiu was referring to.

"Matt Dylan, Scott's full-time lawyer, a top student at Harvard Law School, has been following him since he was in business, and he's a genius." Abiot said.

"He knew everything, from commercial disputes to criminal lawsuits, and later specialized in wiping Scott's ass."

"They just seemed to have had a heated argument?" Chen Jianqiu wondered.

"I don't know." Abiot shook his head, "What's next?" ”

"Scott asked you to follow me, then you follow me." Chen Jianqiu said, "My mission in Santa Fe has been successfully completed.

He rode to the hotel, leaving behind a word:

"At least, Scott now thinks he's on my side, with eyeliner."

……

Astor IV was the heir to great-grandfather's high esteem, and he possessed unrivalled business skills and a talent for business negotiations.

Chen Jianqiu had already planned to pack up his things and go back first, but he estimated that it would take at least a month to deal with these things in Aster.

However, Astor came running the next day and told him that he only needed a week.

Those shareholders other than Rockefeller received Astor's telegram.

He's ready to buy back their shares.

These people have already been tired of these five or six years of zero-income projects.

Most of them joined because of the oil boom a decade ago, when the land of Pennsylvania and Ohio was littered with oil wells.

But later, it was discovered that due to the low refining process and low efficiency, the large amount of crude oil produced could only be sold at a low price.

As for the possible existence of this oil field in New Mexico, it took five years, spent manpower and material resources, and did not even find a hair.

Now the major shareholder who is leading the way has finally found out in conscience that he can finally get out of the pit.

So they hurriedly let their lawyer in New York deal with the matter, for fear that Astor would regret it.

Astor moved very quickly and offered just the right price, which made it difficult for these minority shareholders to refuse.

But unfortunately, he forgot one thing, one of the small shareholders, Alament's company, is also in Cleveland, just across the street from Standard Oil.

So, on a sunny afternoon, Alament sat outside the café downstairs of his company and comfortably drank afternoon tea.

He met a Standard Oil executive who had also been on the run from the same busy schedule.

Alamant told the executive that Astor was buying their shares, and lamented that the Astor family in New York had finally done something.

The executive nearly choked on the bitter pure Americano in his cup.

He quickly ran back to the company and told his boss, John D. Rockefeller, the news.

"That field may be oiled," executives told Rockefeller of their judgment, adding, "Astor is on a buying spree for other people's shares." ”

Rockefeller didn't even lift his head back, he was studying a stack of papers on his desk.

If there is a man in this world who firmly believes that that this land will produce oil, it must be him, because he is the one who told the Freemasons that this land may be buried with oil.

But he didn't have the heart to deal with it right now.

His energy was entirely on the meeting of the Standard Oil shareholders' meeting a little more than a month later.

At that time, the first trust in human history was about to appear, and this company in New Mexico was just one of more than 40 companies that he controlled.

"Let little John take care of this, he should learn to take care of things himself." The tycoon lowered his head and said, "Didn't he happen to be in Santa Fe with a few other people?" ”

John Rockefeller Jr., after receiving a telegram from his father, also began to buy up the shares of the remaining minority shareholders in a frenzy.

This makes for a very bad thing.

The price of equity has gone up.

Those small shareholders who did not intend to continue playing, even if they did not find any clues, began to live in strange goods.

As a result, the negotiations reached an impasse.

Seeing that the week before promising Chen Jianqiu was getting closer and closer, Astor also felt that something was wrong.

Why hasn't the news from New York been transmitted for a long time, it stands to reason that according to the cheerful efforts of the previous ones, the procedures should have been handled almost in the past few days.

After many understandings, he finally knew what was going on.

He decided to talk to John Rockefeller Jr., who was also in Santa Fe.

And the way to date him is simple.

Also in the Chamber of Commerce, John Rockefeller Jr.'s office is downstairs from him.

Unlike Astor IV, who had his brain pumped, Rockefeller Jr. only came to deal with some business matters.

McCall's mine, in addition to being taken over by others in the "Santa Fe Group", also attracted capital that smelled blood.

Therefore, when Chen Jianqiu walked in from the gate of the Chamber of Commerce, he saw Astor running down the stairs on the second floor.

"Chen, you've just come at the right time, come with me to meet Rockefeller." Astor waved his hand to Chen Jianqiu, and he walked briskly towards an office on the first floor.

Chen Jianqiu came this time to tell Astor about other things.

He was followed by Li Sifu, this kid was carefully dressed up by Chen Jianqiu for a rare time, and changed into a new clothes.

They followed Astor to the door of Rockefeller Jr., only to find that the owner of the office was already waiting for them.

At the same time, on the opposite side of a large desk, a seat was prepared for them.

Rockefeller Jr. straightened his bow tie, and Astor IV touched his collar.

The two most illustrious heirs of their respective families looked at each other, and they were full of gunpowder.

However, before the two of them could speak, Li Sifu whispered to Chen Jianqiu a sentence, but directly broke the defense of the two:

"Boss, these two seem to be fighting cocks."

"Who are these two?" Little Rockefeller looked at Chen Jianqiu and Li Sifu with disdain.

"My business partner." Astor went straight back.

He went straight to the point: "Roswell found oil wells on that field. ”

"We already know that." Little Rockefeller put up an empty plan, "It's not appropriate to buy equity without prior notice, we can just go upstairs." ”

"Didn't I come to tell you?" Little Astor muttered that he had lost again.

"I suggest you give up, the rest are ours, professional things, or have to be done by professional people."

Little Rockefeller had a must-have smile on his face.

There was silence in the office.
