Chapter 798
Before Li Changheng could speak, Dawson looked dissatisfied, and even stood up in an instant, scolding and looking at Andre angrily.
From Li Changheng step by step, with future profits and undeniable conditions, Citigroup, Mobil, Boyin, and Grumman successively agreed to his request for a shareholding.
And after really succeeding.
Dawson, the president of Meifu, understood that although Li Changheng's method was very different from those malicious bidders who secretly bought shares.
But he's more dangerous than a hostile bidder.
Hostile takeovers are also called hostile takeovers, that is, they do not greet the target company or any shareholders.
In the hands of the stock market and various financial institutions specializing in investment, they quietly bought less than 4.9% of the shares.
It is even divided into a dozen or dozens of accounts, and each account only buys a few tenths of a percent of the shares.
When the right time came, he suddenly scrambled for control of the company like a bandit.
Of course, a hostile takeover is not that easy, and it may even be hyped, and when the shares reach a critical point, it is necessary to initiate an overall acquisition and make yourself the owner of the company.
Let other shareholders profit and leave the market.
For those who have sufficient funds and must take down the target company, this is just gnashing their teeth to achieve their goal.
But for those who profited by flipping stocks higher, it was disaster.
If the overall acquisition is not initiated, the stock price will plummet in an instant, and the previously acquired shares will fall into his own hands, and he will even lose money and face a lawsuit.
But whether it is a hostile takeover or a goodwill takeover, apart from arbitrage by raising the stock price, the purpose is to obtain shares.
Even Li Changheng, who can use obvious means to seduce Citigroup and force Meifu to agree, is compared to a hostile bidder.
Smarter, more ambitious, and tougher.
Because medium and small shareholders rarely look at long-term interests, and the company's management only cares about short-term profits.
Whoever can bring benefits to them is God.
Now that Andre is being smart enough to mention refined oil products, Li Changheng will definitely take the opportunity to ask for more shares.
This made President Dawson, who wanted to use the 50 million barrels of crude oil to create greater profits, not only the performance may be counted on Li Changheng.
Once the negotiations fall into repeated negotiations, it is likely to miss the opportunity to make a lot of money and even annex other refineries.
Fortunately, the old Rockefeller was not slow to respond. Although he was dissatisfied with his son's self-smartness, he had to take care of the aftermath for him.
Stepping forward quickly, he said into the phone, "Henry, I'm sorry, something unexpected happened, let's talk later."
Li Changheng, who was thinking about how to force Meifu, couldn't help curling his lips. Before he could say a few more words, he heard a busy tone from the microphone.
In fact, Li Changheng can understand Andre. After all, no one will be surprised when the oil price breaks through 10 US dollars.
But with $12, not everyone is confident.
Besides, there is no need to guess. Many people in the market will definitely think that with such a high oil price, the desert tyrants may not be able to resist making money.
Moreover, the United States, Western Europe and island countries consume at least 90% of the crude oil in the desert.
If local tyrants don't sell oil, they can only live by tightening their belts.
After a long time, internal conflicts may force the desert tyrants to abandon the crude oil embargo.
The only thing that the capital world didn't expect was that the embargo of just a few months would explode all the economic contradictions in the United States that had been suppressed by low oil prices for these years.
Even if the desert tyrants lifted the embargo, the United States would still experience years of inflation and recession.
So Andre seeks stability and wants to get the crude oil refining contract first, which is actually not a wrong move.
wrong.
Li Changheng quickly realized that there must be something he didn't know, not even Andre.
Therefore, the old Rockefeller and the bystanders on the phone who did not know their identities were dissatisfied with Andre.
Before he could say more, he stood up and ended the call.
Li Changheng immediately called Taylor Garnell, vice president of Citigroup.
Unsurprisingly, it took only a few minutes for Taylor to call back and say, "Boss, there is news that the commander-in-chief is dealing with the future shortage of crude oil.
It is considering limiting the amount of fuel used by individuals, airlines and the military across the United States, or even implementing a fixed quota system. "
ha.
Li Changheng's face was instantly overjoyed. Among the forces to which Rockefeller belongs, the five largest airlines, United Airlines, Pan Am, American Airlines, China Eastern Airlines and Trans World Airlines, would run out of enough aviation fuel.
The share price could be cut in half.
For a moment, I suddenly regretted the offer of $12.
Meifu directly agreed that for the sake of reputation, he could only sell them the agreed 50 million barrels of crude oil.
"Damn it."
Li Changheng blurted out a curse, which immediately made Annie and Meryl feel strange, and at the same time, they were too worried and frightened to speak out.
And Taylor on the other side of the phone even breathed a lot, a lot easier.
Fortunately, after a while, Li Changheng, who calmed down, quickly thought of it.
Even if they try their best to offend Meifu, forcing them to agree to let themselves buy Meifu shares, which will inevitably increase in price.
But in this way, the funds consumed will never be less.
Although there is a bargain, no one is willing to let it go, but if it is cheaper than Meifu, then which one to choose is more important.
Under the oil crisis, if the operation is good, it will not be too difficult for Citigroup to double its market value within a year or two.
I can increase the number of shares held by Citigroup, and even buy a stake in the media group that has been waiting for a mobile phone opportunity.
For the latter two, Citigroup is more important than Mobil, and the media group's shares are more important than Citigroup, which has already obtained 17% of the shares.
Moreover, calm down and think about it, the loan of 500 million U.S. dollars from UBS will be in a special period when everyone will be short of oil in the future.
Maybe UBS will be forced by Swiss to pay attention to the crude oil in his hand.
50 million barrels of crude oil, sold for 12 dollars a barrel, is 600 million dollars.
Repay UBS's 500 million, and then repay Citigroup's 460 million of 100 million, the debt ratio will be reduced rapidly, and unknown troubles will also be avoided.
Besides, I still have 24 million + 79.2 million barrels of crude oil in my hand, how dare Meifu let go of the refining of this 103.2 million barrels of crude oil?
Other people's refineries are struggling due to lack of oil, but the refineries in Meifu are overwhelmed.
If they don't take the opportunity to annex some medium and small oil refineries, the people in Meifu will not be capitalists.
Thinking of this, Li Changheng quickly laughed.
The United States has imported 3 million barrels of crude oil per day this year.
As soon as the oil embargo started on the desert side, countless refineries would inevitably not be able to operate in the next few months.
I don't need to rush, I just need to wait a month or two, or even a few weeks.
When the oil price exceeds 12 US dollars, and other refineries are in crisis of operation or even bankruptcy, Mobil will come to the door.
And Annie, Meryl, and Taylor on the other side of the phone heard Li Changheng laughing, and then relaxed and smiled.
