Chapter 1102
William White was indeed very angry. He was so gorgeously ignored, which was simply a humiliation to Hong Guoguo. Well, since you guys are going to play for a while, you might as well play bigger.
Involving tens of billions of mergers and acquisitions, any tenderness is nonsense, and a random action can involve hundreds of millions of billions in profits. Or, possibly more.
For the giants, every financial turmoil is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, let alone the oil industry, if the banking system is at risk, they will definitely be happier.
There are too many big investment banks, and there are too many big hedge funds. If, if there are only three or two companies in each industry, this is a healthy industry.
In the view of Morgan Stanley, those small investment banks are very annoying. If you are stupid, you will die. I will not know the value of Pixar, and I will not know the value of Jobs. It's just a deliberate manipulation.
It turned out badly and is now a joke.
The same is true for the oil industry. Rockefeller, who stayed in the castle, hoped to live longer and restore the family's honor, which became the only pursuit.
Standard Oil was broken up in 1911, and since then, the Rockefeller family has changed tack. They began to cultivate spokespersons and tried to change the United States in other ways.
It has been, in fact, a success. Unfortunately, an oil crisis destroyed all of this. After the split, Standard Oil lost its scepter.
Now, they waited for the opportunity. If ExxonMobil can be successfully merged, they will form a monopoly again.
If you gain something, you must lose something. Whether it's BP or Shell, it's nothing to be fooled with. Well, as long as we talk about it, it is not impossible.
Not bad, they were all members of the Bilderberg Club. That being the case, the struggle of interests will not be shown in front of people.
Unfortunately, they misjudged a person's ambition.
Yes, William White didn't think of any slow development, and he couldn't think of an opportunity to board the ship immediately except for this best time.
Although there will be fluctuations in the price of oil in the future, it is basically the same.
Is there any difference between this set of things that crush small and medium-sized oil companies, and Standard Oil in the eighteenth century?
If I have to say, there really is. The eighteenth century was too barbaric to cut off railways, exploit patents, and collude with banks. In short, one Rockefeller got up, and hundreds of various oil companies fell down.
If it hadn't been too outrageous later, it wouldn't have caused the same hatred. Who do you think is the enterprise described by Das Kapital?
In fact, there are only two, one is Rockefeller and the other is Morgan. If there were no subsequent antitrust bills, except for these two companies, other people would really have no way out.
This time, although it was much the same, it was just that they played a little new trick. Yes, completely destroy Maozi's economy.
Today's Bilderberg Club, you can see it as a combination of Morgan Stanley and Rockefeller.
One company or two companies is a bit too exaggerated. Therefore, Morgan Stanley and Rockefeller are just skeletons. Later, they are actually more like a negotiation mechanism.
So, what is their attitude towards a newcomer?
Like Hollywood, Lucas and Spielberg are popular, but DreamWorks is still struggling.
Everyone's cake has been divided, it is impossible to give newcomers a chance, and the only possibility is to unite and clean you up.
"This guy, alas, I knew it would be like this. By the way, what did those analysts say? William White is just for asset allocation." The old guy from Morgan Stanley obviously looked unhappy. There are some things that he can't do anything about, but he knows exactly how difficult William White is.
"Boss, he's really greedy, is he planning to make himself fat with one bite?
By the way, the funds for shorting oil following the trend have loosened. "
"Tsk, Andy, arrange it. I need to make a phone call with the old guy. This is not going to work. John Bull must be jumping."
Don't say he is strange, Soros is even more strange. Fuck, do you dare to be more unreliable, or are you planning to find a step?
The Oil Trust has always been the biggest boss in the United States. This is not a problem of the Rockefeller family. In fact, the mutual shareholding of the top ten consortiums has reached a very complicated level.
Either way, though, it's a good thing. At the same time as dealing with him, it would be a bit overkill if they also had to go to war with that group of oil soil turtles.
"Thank you for your help, Your Royal Highness, I understand that John Bull is really shameless, and he still looks like a disgusting colonist."
"Yes, Mr. White, they demand that we must sell the BP shares as soon as possible, which involves the needs of national security."
"Hahaha, hahaha, they are so funny. Not long ago, they were still promoting privatization?"
"They are so hypocritical. At this moment, if we withdraw, we will suffer heavy losses."
The anger of the desert tyrant can be imagined. John Bull's back-and-forth completely lost the little credit he had left.
You bastard, if people use money to invest, if you say that overseas funds cannot intervene in the field of people's livelihood, you should say it earlier.
However, the rules are set by others, and you investors have nothing to say. John Bull is engaged in privatization, but they know very well that if it is fully liberalized, there will be no more John Bull companies in London.
Therefore, although these things are privatized, they have buried a big hole.
That's right, it is a gold stock. Although there is only one share, it has veto power. That is to say, even if you control 99.99% of the shares, as long as they want to, they can join the board of directors.
Well, that is, many rich people in the desert are stupid. With such a strange rule, only fools will invest. With this free time, you might as well short a wave of British pounds at the right time!
The desert tyrant found out that although William White was greedy, he was reasonable. Over the years, the money they invested in William White had a good return.
Since BP cannot vote, then it is better to invest in White Petroleum. If this acquisition is successful, it will be a large petrochemical complex.
Not only desert tyrants, but also Europe and Japan have expressed varying degrees of concern. The meaning is very simple, we dare not make a move, if you have the ability, we don't mind investing.
A group of old men in the United States finally discovered the problem. Fuck, this guy has foreign aid, not helpless. If it is more than money, BP will be crushed into slag every minute.
Soon, a group of congressmen in Texas began to take the rhythm. For the return of William White, they are very happy. Texas enterprises cannot be taken away by the Yankees, let alone John Bull.
Ahem, of course, the fact that Standard Oil is not a Texas company has been flamboyantly ignored by them.
Not only that, they also questioned BP's sinister intentions. You are about to go out of business yourself, and the acquisition at this time is just a fraudulent act.
The most surprising thing is that the guild, which has not dealt with William White very much, also supports the merger of White Petroleum.
These guys are actually not stupid. Although William White is an asshole, the company treats him very well. Especially in Texas, almost no one would make trouble with him.
