Chapter 1387: Entering the Gulf Oil Company
"Uncle Paul, this is our idea, what do you think?"
After Leonard finished speaking, he subconsciously slowed his breathing, waiting for Paul Mellon's attitude.
After consulting Xia Yu, the Leonard and Woodrow brothers got together and rearranged a rough plan. After confirming that there was nothing missing, they immediately found their uncle Paul Mellon and explained their ideas to him.
"Is this what you thought?"
Paul Mellon looked at Leonard and Woodrow in amazement and asked in a serious tone.
"Not exactly, but most of it was thought of by the two of us. The think tank also added some opinions, and I joined it when I thought it was appropriate."
Leonard didn't change his face when he lied, and his mentality was calm.
Woodlow also remained calm, calmly facing Paul Mellon's scrutinizing gaze, and nodded.
Paul Mellon can only choose to believe that two nephews came up with such a broad view of the big picture and strong logical thinking.
He looked down at the plan in his hand again, flipped through it for another ten minutes, and then asked another question: "Are you sure you can convince Xia Yu to help?"
"Does he have such strength?"
Leonard nodded affirmatively: "Yes, before attacking the Canadian financial market, it was my father who cooperated with Xia Yu. I don't know if my father told you, anyway, we witnessed the whole process."
"At that time, the Rockefeller consortium, the Morgan consortium, the Chicago consortium, other Wall Street capital, and international capital were all involved, but our family and Xia Yu were the biggest beneficiaries, and the Rothschild family's strength in Canada was seriously damaged. ."
"My father also baptized our hearts and minds by reviewing the war, and we have grown a lot."
This matter, the general process and results, Paul Mellon is aware of, but he is not clear about the details.
When Leonard said this, Paul Mellon's interest came, and he took the initiative to say: "Leonard, Woodrow, you two tell me about the more specific process at that time."
"Okay, let me go first, and Woodrow will make an addition later."
"It was like this..."
Leonard explained the circumstances of the incident, and Paul Mellon listened very carefully.
certainly,
He also learned about the thinking abilities of both Leonard and Woodrow through their narration.
After all, even if you know something, you need a very strong ability if you want to replay it.
Incompetent people cannot grasp the key points, and the coherence of the narrative is not clear.
After Leonard and Woodlow finished speaking, Paul Mellon fell silent.
After thinking for a long time, he finally took a long breath and said to Leonard and Woodrow who were looking forward to it: "Leonard, Woodrow, I support your plan, and call the clan to hold another meeting at night."
"I will propose that the two of you take the lead."
"Uncle Paul, thank you!"
After getting this reply, Leonard and Woodlow smiled happily and thanked Paul Mellon in unison.
"Don't thank me, everything we do is for the family." Paul Mellon pointed out with a serious expression.
"We understand that the strength of our family is the foundation of our existence." Leonard said solemnly.
...
That evening, Paul Mellon once again convened a meeting of all the leaders, where the plan was discussed.
Leonard and Woodrow swept everyone by surprise.
With the support of Paul Mellon, except for a few with reservations, most people expressed their full support.
Even the chairman of Gulf Oil, James Mellon, had no choice but to compromise and agreed to give up Gulf Oil.
Leonard and Woodrow took the lead in gaining the upper hand in the power inheritance of the Mellon family.
As for whether he can gain the power of the family, it depends on whether this crisis can be properly handled!
The next morning, Leonard communicated with Xia Yu, and asked Xia Yu to mobilize funds as soon as possible, and called friends to trade some of the assets of the Mellon consortium.
In order to raise funds as soon as possible, in the process of asset transfer.
The Mellon family will cooperate fully, and will not make a fuss about assets and data. Everything is fast.
The effect of this is obvious.
Just two days.
Just when the Gulf Oil Company was in a state of panic, a piece of news came out, which caused the market to be in an uproar.
Pacific Oil publicly announced that it holds a 38.6% stake in Gulf Oil, and the voting rights continue to be held by Chairman James Mellon.
The shares held by the Mellon family were all transferred, and the specific price was not announced.
If the Mellon family's transfer of equity was a blockbuster, then what happened next made more people dumbfounded, including Mesa Oil's Boone Pickens, who wanted to blackmail.
James Mellon convened the board of directors and offered to follow public opinion and split the Gulf Oil Company in two, with half of the oil and gas reserves in the "Gulf Oil and Gas Trust", and the remaining half of the oil and gas reserves, plus the entire The refinery, transportation and sales departments of the industrial chain still belong to Gulf Oil.
And in order to give back to investors better, the largest shareholder, Pacific Oil Company, is willing to give up most of the equity of Gulf Oil and Gas Trust Company and replace it with more equity of Gulf Oil Company!
The board voted to approve this proposal.
Investors brainwashed by Mesa Oil's views cheered after the announcement, along with a surge of goodwill for the new Pacific Oil Company.
But very few people know that Mesa Oil is out of it!
Once the Pacific Oil Company has concentrated its shareholding in the new Gulf Oil Company, the shareholding ratio will soar to more than 60%.
Strip out the stock of scattered investors, and Pacific Oil could easily exceed two-thirds of the votes at shareholder meetings and on the board of directors.
At that time, the Gulf Oil and Gas Trust will be directly seized by the Gulf Oil Company.
If there is only oil and gas, it has to be transported, refined, processed and sold.
Gulf Oil Company itself owns half of its oil and gas assets. If the situation is not good, it is necessary to reduce production. It must be the priority to reduce the oil and gas fields of Gulf Oil and Gas Trust Company. The management rights are held by Gulf Oil Company and cannot struggle at all.
Unless the Gulf Oil and Gas Trust Company is the second or fifth child, someone will hold the vast majority of the equity and break away from the Gulf Oil Company.
But at that time only the assets of oil and gas fields had to find a backer, and being acquired might be the best way.
Pacific Oil Company doesn't care about these oil and gas field assets. It doesn't have much else, that is, there are many oil and gas fields. What it lacks is other links in the entire oil industry chain.
With the annexation of the Gulf Oil Company, a part of the huge oil and gas field reserves can be injected into it, and it can be completely controlled step by step. At that time, the oil and gas field resources can be utilized, and the position of the world's seven largest oil companies is still well-deserved!
...
of the Rockefeller family.
After understanding the whole process, Rao was David Rockefeller's mentality, and he couldn't help being angry.
"BOSS, are we going to continue to acquire the shares of Gulf Oil?"
"If we buy it, the equity will also be replaced with the equity of Gulf Oil and Gas Trust."
Exxon's chairman, Rolle Lawrence, asked tangled.
"Continuing the acquisition, we can only take a step back. We must acquire Gulf Oil and Gas Trust. Half of Gulf Oil's oil and gas reserves are also considerable. Without these assets, Gulf Oil will definitely fall out of the top ten in the industry."
David Rockefeller said gloomily.
"Go find Mesa Oil Company, teach Boone Pickens a lesson, buy the equity in their hands, and keep the price down!"
When he said this, David Rockefeller couldn't help but snorted coldly.
In his opinion, if it wasn't for Mesa Oil Company suddenly jumping out and messing around, with the strength of the Rockefeller consortium, it would definitely be able to seize control of the Gulf Oil Company in one fell swoop, and force the Mellon consortium to give up, and finally achieve a complete annexation.
Now that the clown of Mesa Oil Company is doing this, the opportunity is completely lost!
Gotta teach Boone Pickens a lesson!
"I understand, I'll do it now."
Rolle Lawrence replied obediently.
"Go."
After sending Rolle Lawrence away, David Rockefeller stayed on the sofa for a long time, and then called his assistant to ask him to use resources to investigate the changes in the Mellon family and the amount of the equity transaction in Gulf Oil.
Now with such an accident, David Rockefeller realized that the situation was out of control.
Gulf Oil has flown, then other targets must be won, otherwise I'm sorry for such a good opportunity!
