Chapter 585 Roosevelt’s Toxic Milk

Los Angeles, Club No. 22.

Li Zitao and the Rockefeller family attached great importance to this merger and acquisition case. There were more than 30 people in charge of formal negotiations on both sides, filling the entire conference room.

As soon as the negotiation started, the atmosphere became tense, and the two sides started a wonderful and heated debate on the valuation of the other side.

"The value of the northern gas field is seriously overestimated. We believe that the correct valuation should be based on US$800 million."

"Mobil's valuation of 3.37 billion, we also want to know how it came about?"

"Mobil's global brand influence and sales network are invaluable."

"Priceless? Nothing in this world is priceless. Don't talk about such ridiculous reasons. Besides, the sales of Mobil only involve Western Europe and North America.

You should take a good look at the map, Mobil's valuation is inflated by at least 1 billion. "

"Mobil has strong technical reserves and experience in oil refining and storage. These are valuable assets, and the location of our refinery is the best!"

"Is there? Why can't I see it... Get me a map quickly and see if there is any misunderstanding in my understanding of geographical advantages!"

The two sides were back and forth belittling each other's value, while Li Zitao and Little John were sitting on the sofa on the other side, tasting red wine and cigars, and talking about the romance in life.

"Mary has set a schedule. We will go to Switzerland in two days and come back after the Chinese New Year." This year they will pass in Switzerland, and Tia and Eric will go to the Gold Coast.

"It's a pity, I still want to invite you to Hawaii, and you can go to Vegas to play two games in your spare time!" Little John is about to start enjoying life.

When this matter is over and the two sides have been working together for a period of time, he will completely let go and pass on the family business to the children.

"How is David?" Thinking of Little John's heir, Li Zitao was a little curious about what he was doing.

"He is working on an oil field in Ohio. If he wants to master a company well, he should clearly know what the bottom layer is like, so that he can think more comprehensively."

Not only the basic level of the refinery, the guild, the company's administration, and even the cleaner David have worked for a period of time.

Little John is very satisfied with his talent, but his ideas are a bit too idealistic, like castles in the air, without any foundation.

This is not all bad, at least he dares to think and do it.

Now, Little John wants to lay a solid foundation for him, so that he can truly turn his ideas into actions, and walk more steadily and faster.

"They are so young!" Little John said with a smile, looking back at the shareholder who was already lying on the table, spitting.

"I'm young too." Li Zitao rolled his eyes jokingly. Although he sits with old men every day, he's still very young, okay?

Li Zitao and Little John didn't attend the negotiation on the second day.

The negotiating teams of both parties will report the progress every day, and this negotiation will not be completed in ten days and a half months.

When the result is about to come out, it will be fine if the big bosses of both sides are on the stage.

at the same time,

Li Zitao and Little John are also actively operating, trying to avoid the situation where the merger between the two parties is blocked by Congress.

Exxon Mobil was originally split at the request of Congress, although it is now only merged with an energy company.

But the combined energy company will become the world's largest non-government oil and gas producer and the world's largest non-government natural gas marketer.

Whether it will be obstructed by Congress on this point, both parties must prepare in advance.

For this matter, Li Zitao also made a special trip to communicate with Roosevelt. This was the first call he made after Roosevelt officially became president.

Before he became president, the exchanges between the two parties were relatively frequent, but after he became president, both Li Zitao and him tried to avoid suspicion.

Words are scary, one is the president of the country, the other is the super rich, they get mixed up every day, even if they have nothing, they will be said to have something.

"Charlie, your actions are really secretive. I haven't heard any news until now." Roosevelt made a special trip for 20 minutes to communicate with him about the merger.

In Congress, Roosevelt will not put pressure, and will greet his own congressmen for convenience.

After all, without Mobil, wouldn't there still be the Six Sisters of Petroleum, and hundreds of energy companies, large and small?

Market competitiveness still exists, but there is one more large company. As for whether it will cause monopoly and interference in the oil market, we have to wait until the facts happen.

Li Zitao likes the United States because what happened is only based on speculation and foresight, so it cannot be interfered with or convicted.

Although because of this, Lao Mei was a little 'slow' in various aspects, which was obviously a foreseeable thing, but they had to wait until after the event happened.

But it is precisely because of this that the freedom of citizens and the check and balance of rights are protected to the greatest extent. This is also one of the prices that the United States has paid for freedom.

Roosevelt definitely has the potential of poisonous milk. On the second afternoon of the phone call with him, the "New York Times" published the contact between Mobil and Alaska Standard Oil.

"Hundreds of people from both sides are in this small building. We saw Shlomo Ben Itzkic, who is known as the intelligent brain, and senior think tanks Rush Jeff, Graun, Pabol... "

"Mobil's chief executive, Allante Hambony, director, Gordon Bastain..."

If the people in the think tank are not enough to explain anything, the management of Mobil, which has a huge influence in the oil industry, makes everyone start to associate.

What can bring these people together? The New York Times gave the answer. The Barclays team has been in North America for 3 months.

Linking these clues together, the answer is self-evident, and Li Zitao's phone is about to explode.

"Why don't I even know about this kind of thing?" Lawrence's call came in at night, and his tone was full of mourning.

As the CEO of the Blue and White Chamber of Commerce and one of the heirs of the Rockefeller family, he actually read the news of the two mergers and acquisitions from the newspaper.

This is hell, he is afraid that he has a fake father and a fake CEO.

"Hehe...you should ask your father!" Li Zitao said with an awkward smile.

"Charlie, you have become bad." Lawrence resented like a little daughter-in-law, Charlie had changed, and he was no longer sincere to him, oh my god, this is really a tragedy.

"Go away, find your Avril Lavigne to complain, last time Mary came back and said, you haven't taken her on a trip for a long time, be careful that she kicks you out of bed."

Li Zitao changed the topic with a haha, saying that everyone is getting more and more serious, but this guy is good, since he got married, he has become more and more childish, can you bear being coquettish all the time?

Could it be that Avril Lavigne has the right way to control her husband, and forcibly turned the former playboy into a clingy little milk dog.

But you should also separate people, I am a straight man of steel, I have no affection for men.

"Charlie...do you want to go to Vegas together during Chinese New Year to have fun? Avril will be very happy with Mary here." Li Zitao shuddered at the greasy voice, and hung up the phone with a 'kuang'. He was going to throw up after hearing it.

"What's the matter?" A soft voice came, and Lin Shiyin, who was a little drunk, came slowly, and the lady was sitting sideways on the sofa opposite her.
