?Chapter 542 Majinu Oilfield

…

"Kenny!"

Old Morgan stopped his son, "You don't have to go to work today, I'll go out with me later."

The calm Kenny Morgan didn't ask any more questions. After nodding, he sat quietly waiting for his father to finish breakfast, and then went out together.

"Aren't you curious where you're going next?"

"It should be the headquarters of Phoenix Corporation."

"Looks like you already know!" Old Morgan said.

"My father didn't tell me much about the deal between Harvey and Bruce Guo. But he didn't hide it deliberately."

Old Morgan nodded.

"Now that you know what happened, what do you think of Harvey's decision?"

After thinking for a moment, "I don't know as much about the Internet as Bruce Guo, and what he said about the future of the Internet, as well as artificial intelligence, big data and cloud computing, may be the trend of future technology development. But is it really what he said, ten years later It can be achieved, no one can prove it. But the development of Google and Ruby is really exciting, and Harvey's decision should be wise!"

"Then do you think our family trust should be chasing more shares?"

"I think we should wait a little longer!"

"why?"

"Although Google and Ruby are developing rapidly, the future of the Internet is still unclear. The shadow of the Nasdaq crisis has not disappeared, and it may be a wiser choice to settle."

"You said before that Harvey's decision was wise!" Old Morgan laughed.

"Harvey pursues rapid financial growth. For this reason, he can take greater risks and is more flexible in his investment methods. He can pursue those industries with high risk and high return, and he only needs to be responsible for himself. But the Morgan Family Trust's The primary goal is the stable appreciation of family wealth, and the second is risk. We need to invest in traditional industries that we understand, or technology companies that have proven their revenue. I am responsible to the entire family. With the scale of assets at our disposal, Even if it is only 8% growth per year, the return is far more than the 30% obtained by taking the risk, or even more!”

Old Morgan nodded in satisfaction.

"Kenny, you've become more mature!"

"It's all taught by my father! ... But didn't Harvey say that Bruce Guo didn't accept our application for a stake in Unocal?"

"We had a chat last night and I promised to help him win the rights to the Majinu oil field in Iraq!"

"Maginu Oil Field?" Kenny's pupils shrank.

"Bruce Guo does have a strategic vision. As soon as the war in Iraq stopped, he had already set his sights on the oil resources there. In addition to the listing of Unocal's original stock tender, I am afraid it is more to devour more Iraq. Oil and gas resources to pave the way.”

Kenny nodded knowingly, "The proven reserves of a Majinu oil field are as high as 12.6 billion barrels, the fourth largest oil field in Iraq, did he swallow it himself?"

"That's why he asked us to endorse it!" Old Morgan took out a document and handed it over. "Look, this is the institution and family that participated in the bidding of Unocal's original shares today!"

"Bush, Roosevelt, CapitaLand, Blackstone, Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch! ... None of them are weak!"

"Not only that, he also made preparations with both hands!"

"You mean the 5% stake in ConocoPhillips?"

"If you can't take it alone, you can cooperate! He is determined to participate in the fight for Iraqi oil, and he has to eat the fattest meat!" Old Morgan nodded and said.

Looking at the document in his hand, Kenny smiled and said: "With so many powers in, the possibility of eating the Majinu Oilfield is very high. And he is also very smart, taking the Rumaila and Silguna oilfields with higher reserves. It's a well-planned plan to leave the giants like ExxonMobil and BP out!"

"If he's not smart, how could he have created such a huge business in such a short period of time. ... Kenny, this time it's up to you to represent our Morgan family to participate in Unocal's PE round of financing."

"Me? Then you...?"

"I want something else."

Seeing that his father didn't say much, Kenny Morgan didn't ask much. As the next head of the Morgan family, maintaining a certain respect and obedience with his father, who is still in power, is only good for his future. You know, his younger brothers are not good at all.

In fact, old Morgan was quite satisfied with his eldest son's strong and stable character and skill.

"By the way, apart from participating in Unocal's financing bidding this time, you should pay more attention to Bruce Guo!"

"Father means to let me befriend this person?"

"Not bad. There are not many people who can form such a huge consortium in such a short period of time. Throughout the thousands of years of business history in the world, there are not many people."

A hint of surprise flashed across Kenny Morgan's face. He didn't expect his father to give him such a high rating!

Kenny Morgan pondered for a moment after nodding, "Although Bruce Guo is outstanding, his identity is still an obstacle in the United States, and he may not reach the top in the future."

"Race and color are indeed an obstacle, but even if it is not the top, with his connections and financial resources, it is also a must for the Morgan family to make friends! ... Also, race and color are an obstacle in the United States, but on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. That rising power has become an advantage that we don't have."

After a pause, old Morgan sighed slightly, with an indescribable look in his eyes, "Who can decide what will happen in the future!"

Glancing at his father, Kenny Morgan also had a thoughtful look on his face.

The car rolled forward, and with the silence of the father and son, the inside of the car became quiet.

No. 4 Times Square, in the office of the chairman of the board of directors of Phoenix Bank, Guo Shouyun folded his hands on his chest, and looked down at the bustling Broadway through the floor-to-ceiling windows in front of him. Unfathomable and deep, it is elusive.

After a long time, a knock on the door suddenly sounded, interrupting Guo Shouyun's thoughts.

"Come in!"

"Boss, the guests are here!" Wang Jue pushed open the door and came in respectfully.

"Where's Rebecca?"

"I'm entertaining guests with Mr. Bryan!"

After nodding clearly, "Bring the documents, let's go too!"

"Yes!"

After finishing packing, Guo Shouyun tidied up his suit before turning around and walking out the door.

It is still the large conference room of Phoenix, but today it is not the executives of Phoenix Bank who are sitting here, but the consortiums and big families who are sitting behind and hold the financial power in the United States!

"Brian, it looks like you're doing a good job here!"

"Although Phoenix is ​​not as good as Goldman Sachs in the field of investment banking, it is indeed a good platform for me!" Stephen Bryan laughed.

Blank Fein squinted his eyes, "If that's the case, why do you insist on jumping to Phoenix? Do the positions of CEO of Phoenix and COO of Goldman Sachs have higher power and status? Or is it that Bruce Guo gave more of your equity?"

"No, I just want to try more possibilities. After all, Goldman Sachs is only an investment bank. Phoenix is ​​a commercial bank!"

Just as Blank Finn was about to continue speaking, he was interrupted by the sudden sound of the door opening.

"Everyone, let you wait."

Seeing the main lord appear, everyone who had been drinking tea and chatting stood up.

"We just arrived. ... Bruce, since you're here, can we start?"

Max Roosevelt spoke first.

He is Guo Shouyun's eldest brother, although the relationship between the two is not close, but in front of outsiders, he naturally wants to help his own people.

The Roosevelt family has a prominent position in the United States. Although he is only the in-line heir to the Roosevelt family, it is difficult for others to say more because of his prominent family affairs. Even if Guo Shouyun poached Goldman Sachs, took away a large number of financial talents including Stephen Bryan, and made the two sides somewhat contradictory, Blank Fein, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com just raised his eyebrows, He sat down with the crowd.

"Everyone, today is the last round of financing meeting before Unocal goes public. As the chairman of Unocal's board of directors, I am delighted that you will be able to participate in this financing, and today's meeting will also be chaired by me."

When the words fell, Guo Shouyun waved his hand, Rebecca said, and then, with the staff next to him, distributed the pre-printed documents about Unocal's detailed operating information, financial status and asset list.

I thought the number of copies was small, so only representatives of various institutions and families got one. They are the heir to the Roosevelt family, Guo Shouyun's eldest brother, Max Roosevelt; the heir to the Morgan family, Kenny Peabody Morgan; the third son of the Bush family, and the third brother of Bush Jr., Neil Mullen. Bush; John Fitzgerald Kennedy, Jr., son of Kennedy patriarch Edward Kennedy; Carlyle CEO David Rubinstein; Blackstone CEO Steve Schwarzman; Goldman Sachs director Bureau Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Blank Fein, and Merrill Lynch Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Stan O'Neill.

Plus Stephen Bryan, representing Phoenix Bank, and Guo Shouyun and Rebecca Mark, representing Unocal Oil. The round table meeting of eleven people decided the future of Unocal.

"Give you fifteen minutes to briefly look at the file and let's get started!"

After Guo Shouyun finished speaking, the sound of flipping documents rang out in the conference room. Fifteen minutes is not long, but for those who are familiar with financial statements and company operating data, it is enough for them to understand some key operating data about Unocal and draw a general conclusion.
