Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

Chapter 922 The Mellon Family

/

"Mr. Xia, I've heard of Polaris Capital Company. It was established for a short time, but the investment has always been amazing. Those who can become the chairman of a company of this level are basically financial elites over 50 years old."

"But if you attribute your strength to luck, then I'd rather believe you are God's bastard."

Although Bush Jr. spoke in a joking manner, his tone was so solemn.

After speaking, he asked again: "Mr. Xia, take the liberty to ask, you should be under twenty years old this year, right?"

Xia Yu smiled and shook his head: "Not yet."

"Then you probably haven't been to college."

"Yes, the family conditions are difficult, and we can only go out of society early to work hard."

"Then you are a genius among geniuses. Your experience and achievements are admirable. When I was your age, I only spent time in college and fell in love. I suddenly felt very ashamed."

...

The future President George W. Bush is famously humorous, but actually at this age, already.

The two of them seemed to be familiar with each other, Bush Jr. was witty and humorous, and Xia Yu could see people talking and talking about ghosts, and they chatted a lot without knowing it.

"Cheers to our acquaintance!"

"It should be so!"

"Bang!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

After clinking glasses and drinking wine, the two looked at each other and smiled, and their relationship became much closer.

Both of them leaned on the sofa slightly casually, watching the men and women dancing in the center of the dance floor with an admiring attitude and posture.

Of course, to be precise, it should be to admire those beautiful ladies.

According to later social studies, when two men get together, no matter where the topic starts, 90% of the time they will talk about women...

Xia Yu still wanted to cooperate with Bush Jr.

So he raised the topic again: "Mr. Bush, now the global oil price is skyrocketing, you have oil companies, this is your feast."

"Oil is the blood of industry after all, and now the oil price is so high, I want to try it when I enter the oil field. If there is a chance, can I visit your company?"

When Bush Jr heard the previous sentence, he wanted to brag, but after Xia Yu said the latter sentence, he immediately swallowed back what he was about to say.

He knew exactly what was going on with his Bush Energy Company. Just by looking at the business card, he would definitely think it was taller, but in fact, it was a piece of shit.

If Xia Yu really went to visit, the bigger he is now, the more embarrassed he will be in the future.

So he turned his mind, shrugged his shoulders as a bachelor, and said with a self-deprecating expression: "It is indeed a feast for oil practitioners, but unfortunately, I am not qualified to participate. My company has been exploring for oil and oil in Texas. Natural gas, but unfortunately, no oil has been explored so far.”

"Texas is the largest state with the richest oil resources in the United States. I believe that as long as you are willing to invest, you will always find oil."

Xia Yu said with a smile.

Bush smiled bitterly and reluctantly said: "Maybe, who can say in the future, oil exploration is too much luck."

When his father was exploring for oil in Midland, Texas,

The probability of oil exploration is 137 to 1, which is quite lucky. It is called "a hundred hits", and that was more than 20 years ago!

As for his Bush Energy Company, the idle year in 1978 is not counted. In the two years since 1979, it has explored more than 300 plots of land, and spent two of the three million dollars when the company was established. More than 800,000, and no oil field has been explored so far, which is incomparable with his father Bush Sr.

Now the company is spending money every day of operation. If there is no more oil exploration, then his Bush Energy Company will go out of business!

He is now embarrassed by those shareholders, as well as by his uncle, Jonathan Bush.

After all, after he graduated from Harvard Business School and got an MBA, it was his uncle Jonathan Bush who brought in more than 20 shareholders for his Bush Energy Company, with a total investment of three million US dollars. It's a shame for the Bush family not to make any cents in profit.

Unless he found a piece of valuable fritters before the company went bankrupt.

Otherwise, he will have to find a way to continue to pull investment for his Bush Energy Company. No matter what, he will not let the Bush Energy Company go bankrupt. The Bush family cannot afford to lose face!

"Luck is really important in oil exploration. After all, it has been more than 100 years since the discovery of oil in Texas. People have gone to Texas to explore for oil, and they have been explored all over the place. Now it is difficult to explore. Too high, the success rate is too low!"

"But as long as you buy the latest exploration machines and keep investing in exploration, you will always find oil."

After Xia Yu sighed, he said encouragingly.

Although it was a word of encouragement, when it was heard in his ears, Bush Jr. was even more uncomfortable.

It's easy for Xia Yu to say it, but the most important thing is that he has no money to continue gambling!

At this moment, Xia Yu suddenly asked with great interest: "Mr. Bush, I just want to get into the oil industry and have some experience. I wonder if your company is willing to accept new shareholders?"

Bush was stunned for a moment, then nodded without hesitation: "Of course you are welcome, Mr. Xia, are you willing to invest in my company?"

"Of course, I wonder how big your company is?" Xia Yu nodded affirmatively.

Bush weighed in his mind for a moment and said, "Although my company has not yet discovered oil, it has leased a lot of land and has other assets. I cite it as being worth about $8 million."

For this price, Xia Yu knew that Bush Jr. made a false statement, but he didn't care. It was nothing more than an extra $1 or 2 million, which was a small amount of money to him.

Being able to invest in Bush Jr. now and create a relationship between the two is the greatest reward!

He asked directly: "Since you said it's worth eight million dollars, then it's worth eight million dollars, but I don't know how much equity can be given up?"

Xia Yu's trust surprised Bush Jr., but also warmed his heart.

He thought for a while and said, "At least 10%, if it's more, I have to discuss it with other shareholders before the result."

Xia Yu frowned and said with some disgust, "Ten percent is too little and boring."

He immediately asked again: "By the way, Mr. Bush, how many shareholders does your company currently have?"

Bush said truthfully: "Twenty-four shareholders."

Xia Yu raised his brows and pretended to say unexpectedly, "So many?"

"So I don't know if any shareholders are willing to transfer their equity? I want to buy the equity in their hands!"

Bush Jr. was a little bit anxious. Of course, he knew that most of the shareholders were not interested in the equity of his Bush Energy Company, and now he was unwilling to withdraw voluntarily just for the sake of the Bush family.

And because the investment capital is relatively small, it is generally in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, which is not much money for the big guys.

He estimates that by this time, many people are ready to go to waste.

If he is willing to help Xia Yu acquire it, I believe many shareholders will gladly accept it.

He thought about it and said in the right words, "I'm not sure yet, I'll have to ask them to find out."

"I don't know how much equity you want to get, Mr. Xia?"

Xia Yu replied immediately: "At least 45%, if all the shareholders are willing to transfer, it's better to reach 50%, we are one and half, what do you think?"

"Mr. Xia is so optimistic about my company?"

Bush Jr. asked in surprise.

In Texas, there are not too many oil companies like him that have not yet produced results. Exploration for oil is a very high-risk gambling behavior, so as long as there is no oil field, no amount of equity is necessary. Value, on the contrary, represents the need to invest more money.

A lot of people don't put their money into an oil exploration company.

If you give $1 million to an old cowboy exploring oil in Texas, then he will at least divide the $100,000 into ten promising oil exploration companies, or more in specific exploration projects, while It is not a concentrated investment in one company.

Although this method of diversifying investment cannot guarantee a super rich overnight, it can greatly increase the probability of success, make your investment appreciate, have more money to roll, and accumulate wealth step by step.

Now...after all, it's not the era when oil came out of a single drill more than a hundred years ago!

"Of course, I think you are more likely to succeed than others! I also believe in your luck!"

Xia Yu said with a smile.

Bush Jr. was silent, preferring to think that Xia Yu wanted to cooperate with the Bush family through him. He encountered a lot of this situation.

However, he really has no reason to refuse Xia Yu's request to send money to his door. He needs funds too much!

So he smiled and said, "Thank you for your blessing, Mr. Xia, I still need you to wait for my news, and I will call you when the time comes."

"no problem!"

"But as soon as possible, I plan to leave the United States in early February, and I don't know how many months it will take to come back."

"Okay, I'll do it asap."

Speaking of this, there is no need to say more. Xia Yu raised his glass again and had a drink with Bush Jr., looking forward to future cooperation.

"Mr. Xia, my wife waved to me. I'll go do some dances first."

"OK!"

After watching Bush Jr. enter the dance floor, Xia Yu looked around a little bored, and found that the surroundings were relatively empty. Obviously, he was talking with Bush Jr. just now, and the people around him politely sat away in order not to disturb them.

At this moment, he found that someone came like him, and not one, but five people, two men and three women.

Xia Yu recognized the two men and one woman, who had come in with Richard King Mellon just now, maybe the sons and daughters of Richard King Mellon.

As for the other two young ladies, he did not recognize them.

When they got to Xia Yu, one of the older youths said hello to Xia Yu, and then the five sat down one after another.

"Can you meet me? I'm Leonard Mellon, and this is my business card."

Hearing his name, Xia Yu immediately remembered that this young man in his twenties was the third son of Richard King Mellon.

"Of course, my name is Xia Yu, and this is my business card."

Xia Yu said with a smile, and exchanged business cards with him.

After he started, the other three women and one man also chatted with him in a friendly way. Xia Yu also gave them business cards and learned the identity of each other from their names.

One of the boys, apparently around eighteen or nineteen, was Woodrow Mellon, Ronald Mellon's younger brother and fourth son of Richard King Mellon.

According to the memory of the previous life, Xia Yu knew a lot about the Mellon family. The current head Richard King Mellon has eight children, four sons and four daughters.

Among them, the eldest son, Richard Mellon Skeff, dislikes the family business at all, is not interested in rights, and likes art and charity, which makes Richard King Mellon very disappointed.

The second son, Timothy Mellon, was keen on computer technology and went to found his own computer company. Obviously, he was not a qualified family heir, and Richard King Mellon was disappointed.

On the contrary, the third son, Leonard Mellon and the fourth son, Woodrow Mellon, are deeply loved by Richard King Mellon, because these two sons are very smart and very hardworking. They have been determined to strengthen the family since childhood. career is very interested.

But these two sons are old enough to have children. In the previous life, when Richard King Mellon died, these two sons were too young to become a qualified head of the next generation.

The head of Richard King Mellon came from his uncle Andrew Mellon, because his cousin Paul Mellon also disliked all efforts and was keen on horse racing and art. .

Paul Mellon doesn't like it, doesn't mean his sons don't like it.

When Richard King Mellon was around, Paul Mellon's sons didn't dare to fart a single one.

But when Richard King Mellon passed away, his son failed to become a qualified leader, which eventually led to the Mellon family becoming loose.

That is to say, thanks to the way of family trusts and charitable funds, the Mellon family will not be split and the Mellon consortium can continue to exist.

But the Mellon family lacks a leader, and the Mellon consortium with the Mellon family as its sole core naturally lacks people who can make decisions.

Therefore, since the death of Richard King Mellon, despite the hard work of Leonard Mellon and Woodrow Mellon, they could only maintain the Mellon consortium from disintegrating, but the influence and strength of the Mellon consortium have continued to grow. taken over.

Except for the special case of Xia Yu, the evildoer, how could the little fox be the opponent of the old fox!

It can be seen how important it is for the cultivation of offspring, and it takes at least twenty years to cultivate one offspring!

Closer to home.

Among the five people, apart from the two brothers Leonard Mellon and Woodrow Mellon, one of the girls is called Sandy Mellon. Xia Yu is estimated to be around twenty years old, the youngest of Richard Kim Mellon. daughter, older than Leonard Mellon and younger than Woodrow Mellon.

As for the other two girls, named Susan Anthony and Renee Camilla, they were both in their twenties. In terms of words and deeds, they completely matched the temperament of the descendants of the big family.

"Mr. Xia, I saw you chatting with my father and Mr. David Rockefeller just now. I really admire you."

Leonard Mellon was very self-disciplined, looked at Xia Yu sincerely, and said with admiration.

His words caught the attention of the other four, especially the three beautiful girls looking at him curiously. If they were ordinary people, Xia Yu would barely keep calm if his heart beat faster.

He smiled and asked, "Why do you say that?"

Leonard Mellon immediately said: "Even with my father, I am uncomfortable. If it is with Mr. Rockefeller and Mr. Dupont, I don't know what to say, and you can talk and laugh with them. I don’t know how many years of training it will take to perform at your level.”
