Reborn American Giants

Now, everyone here at Texaco needs to release good news such as the signing of an agreement and the formation of a new energy company to stimulate the confidence of stock investors.

However, Exxon refused to give in, making the signing of the agreement look like it would continue to be delayed. As the Quartet exited, Victor saw Texaco's Aaron Elvis leaving in a hurry and knew that he was going to

Rush back to the company headquarters to deal with the bad situation facing Texaco.

In an oil field with such huge reserves, several parties have joined forces to form a new energy company. The collision of all parties, the huge amount of benefits and huge benefits, how can it be negotiated in a day or two? The negotiations can take a year.

For half a year, Victor didn't think it was strange.

But now, fortunately, the main framework of the agreement has been determined, and what everyone needs to debate are only some details.

However, Victor also has a concern, that is, whether Texaco can survive until the moment the agreement is signed.

The famous financial newspaper "Wall Street Journal" has revealed that White House Chief of Staff Becker has privately revealed to reporters that President Underwood is considering whether to use his "veto power" to veto the Senate Judiciary Committee's decision on Texaco.

Investigation to be launched into the legality of the agreement to acquire Getty Oil Company.

As a close confidant to the president, the status of the White House chief of staff is unquestionable and is often called the "gatekeeper" of DC, the "second president", etc.

Generally speaking, the White House chief of staff is responsible for supervising the work of the White House staff, and needs to arrange the President's schedule and meeting arrangements. Sometimes, when the President is unable to attend certain meetings, he can chair meetings on behalf of the President and provide him with policy advice.

.

Therefore, what Becker said in private, and which was allowed to be quoted by a reporter from the Wall Street Journal, is definitely not without purpose. This can be regarded as President Underwood’s stance on the acquisition of Getty Oil Company, and it is also a strong statement.

Presidential threats to the Senate.

Underwood and his staff chose the "supply-side economic theory" to carry out economic reforms and supported the mutual mergers of large companies. This is the basic economic policy of the White House. If the Senate Judiciary Committee does not want to offend the president, when the mid-term elections are approaching,

If political turmoil arose, they would have to carefully consider the Judiciary Committee's stance on Texaco's acquisition of Getty Oil Company and whether they should be consistent with the White House.

This is undoubtedly the greatest support the White House can show for Texaco, and it cannot ask for more.

But now Texaco can release news about the Grenada oil field first, which should be able to stabilize the volatile stock price.

Next, just look at the Delaware Court of Chancery's ruling on whether the Getty Oil Purchase Agreement in Penzer's lawsuit is valid.

"Victor, let's end the boring and boring business negotiations and let's have a drink." Oliver Levin struggled to pull his short and fat body out of the chair. He hit it with both hands and made a crisp "pop" sound.

With a smile on his face, he said to Victor: "E, have a good chat with me, an old man, and let me thank you."

"Sir Levin..."

"Call me Ollie, that's what my friends call me," the standard London accent, with a strange uptick at the end of the accent, combined with Oliver's current smiling figure, has an inexplicable sense of humor.

Oliver Levin should really thank Victor. If Victor had not chosen to hook him up, but to find Jeffrey Johnson (the minister of the Duchy of Cornwall, who has the same nature as Oliver), his dream of being a baron would not have been fulfilled.

Know when it will be achieved.

"Okay, Ollie," Victor said politely. He would have to deal with this representative of the British royal family a lot in the future. It was his best wish for both parties to maintain a "personal friendship". "It seems like you are in a good mood."

Very good, should I change my name to you as Baron soon?"

"Hahaha," when Victor mentioned what he was most proud of, Oliver couldn't help but grin a few times.

When reporting to the Queen about the Grenada oil field, Oliver had already received a hint. As long as the co-founding energy company is successfully established and the profits from the oil field come to fruition, the royal family will thank Oliver for his long-term and loyal service to the Lancashire land.

With the Minister of Finance, when the time comes, he will naturally get the reward he deserves.

The implication is self-evident. The 1983 reward list has been determined and issued. The Queen has no way to recover it. However, on next year's Christmas reward list, he, Oliver Levin, will definitely be on the list, and he has already received the title of "Knight".

The title he could obtain must be "Baron", thereby becoming a real nobleman, and creating the Levin family named after him in the European aristocratic genealogy.

"I will never forget your help to the Levin family," Oliver's nose turned red again when he mentioned his pride.

"Oli, there will be a long time to come, and our cooperation is not limited to this time. There will be many opportunities to cooperate in the future. If you want to thank me, there are plenty of opportunities." Victor stood up, "Let's go,

Let’s have a nice drink.”

In the Marriott Hotel, in a small bar with exquisite and luxurious decoration, a female singer was singing softly on the stage, wearing a white evening dress studded with small sparkling bright spots.

Victor raised his hand and touched the Crown whiskey gently with Oliver Levin. The glass made a crisp sound, and he drank the wine mixed with lime juice. In addition to the spiciness of the wine, it also had a slight tinge.

A hint of fruity sourness stimulates the secretion of large amounts of saliva in the mouth.

After swallowing the whiskey in his mouth, Victor put down the glass. The lights were dimmed and the music was not loud. This kind of occasion was most suitable for both parties to discuss some secrets.

Leaning close to Sir Levin, Victor asked in a low voice in his ear: "How was the completion of that matter?"

Oliver looked straight. He put down his glass, looked around for a moment, then also lowered his voice and whispered: "I have handed over the certificate of the Caribbean Investment Fund and the establishment certificates of other companies to your lawyer.

, I have invested all my wealth in this matter you are talking about, are you sure that it will succeed?"

He raised his glass again and took a big sip. Oliver calmed down his mood. In fact, the royal family investments he had handled in the past were several times the amount of this investment, but after all, the money was not his. He was just a manager.

But this time he invested his own private funds, which were the retirement funds he had prepared for himself.

"Oli, Ollie," Victor said Oliver's name several times in succession, smiled and waved his hand, "No one can guarantee 100% success. Even Napoleon will encounter Waterloo. I can only say that this time

There is a high probability that your investment actions will result in huge profits, but I cannot give you a definite guarantee."

"Victor, please forgive me. After all, those money are my life savings, and I have to worry about their safety."

"Oli, don't worry. Haven't you seen that I have also invested all my own money in it? As long as the agreement is signed, Texaco's stock will definitely rise in response, and we will get sufficient profits."

"I hope..." Oliver raised his glass to signal Victor and murmured.

Victor took another sip of whiskey and let the wine linger in his mouth. The investment move that Oliver was worried about was that Victor teamed up with him, using a company with no royal background to join forces with a "passerby" whom Victor found. The two parties were in a tax haven.

The Cayman Islands established a new partnership-type private equity fund, the Caribbean Investment Fund, and with the help of Oliver, it easily obtained the qualifications to invest in the U.S. financial market.

Through Farela Fernando, the manager of Central American Bank, Victor lent him a credit loan of one billion US dollars with the Green Bay Fund's two-for-two investment and the bank's internal investment profitability of up to four stars. At the same time, Victor's own

With more than 900 million U.S. dollars, combined with Oliver Levin's private investment of 490 million pounds, the Caribbean Investment Fund has a capital operation volume of about 2.6 billion U.S. dollars.

And Victor will invest all of this in the acquisition of Texaco shares.
