American Legendary Life

"Legend of America ( to find the latest chapter!

"Oh, other oil companies."

Li Zitao's smile became playful: "David, I'm just about to discuss this with you. Let's talk to the office."

"First, a glass of whiskey, do you want to add ice?" In the office, Li Zitao asked, holding the crystal bottle.

"Yes, thank you."

David looked at the furnishings in his office and joked: "This office, you use no more than 80 hours a year, but it is still the most gorgeous here."

"Also the biggest."

Li Zitao stood at the window, handed him the whiskey and smiled: "The scenery here is also the best. I think this is the benefit of being a boss."

"Yes, BOSS." David smiled and toasted.

"A competent BOSS that can bring wealth and reputation to everyone." Li Zitao and him toasted together, killing half a cup in one mouthful.

In recent years, his drinking volume has been getting better and better. After half a glass of whiskey, he seems to be energetic.

"Charlie, what do you want to talk about?" David brought the topic to business.

"Oh, right."

Li Zitao put the wine glass on the table, opened the drawer and took out several different reports.

"I know the benefits of Exxon, Chevron and Texaco. These years have not been very good. These reports are enough to prove it!"

The light in David's eyes disappeared, and he looked at him with a serious expression.

After putting down the wine glass, I picked up the report and looked through the pages.

The data inside is shocking.

These data should be company secrets and will not be known to anyone outside.

Some detailed figures are even more detailed than he knew. This kind of thing shouldn't have happened.

But it still happened, and it was right before my eyes.

"What do you want to know?"

"You are wrong, it's not what I want to know, it's already written very clearly in the report."

"Exxon's earnings have fallen year after year, and if this continues, it can barely maintain a balance of payments."

"Chevron hasn't been profitable for two years... This is really strange!"

"Because according to the company's latest quarterly earnings report, its profit in the first half of the year should be $3 million."

Seeing that David's face had become ashen, Li Zitao continued to point to the last report: "The worst thing is that Texaco has lost money for 5 consecutive years."

David wanted to refute, but he couldn't say a word.

Because everything Li Zitao said is true, he can't use any excuses to refute the other party.

"These are just the immediate difficulties. The board of directors is determined to reverse the situation. We are seeking new investors and actively expanding the market!"

"There is no hope." Li Zitao said firmly.

"As one of the shareholders of Mobil, you should know exactly what the discovery of Buchan Petroleum represents."

"Even if affected by the war, oil prices will remain stable and may increase slightly."

"But it is not enough to reverse the situation."

After David digested what he said, Li Zitao smiled and said, "However, I am very interested in finding investors you mentioned."

When he saw the report, David guessed his purpose.

But when I heard him say this, I still felt a burst of anger and powerlessness.

"What do you want to do?"

David's momentum unnaturally weakened because he did not have enough confidence to fight Li Zitao.

In fact, deep down in his heart, he also hopes that someone can change the situation.

The decline of Exxon, Chevron and Texaco has become an indisputable fact.

It's just that they don't want to admit this fact!

And it was the man standing in front of him that caused this situation.

With the strong rise of Mobil, it has mastered a large amount of crude oil reserves, and occupied the Persian Gulf first, and cooperated with the chief to open up the international market.

Let them lose all their opportunities, step by step, step by step.

The market never cares about the cause of things or whose feelings they care for.

Survival of the fittest is as cruel as nature.

If it weren't for Mobil, it would always take the lead and occupy a large amount of oil reserves.

Leaving aside Texaco, Exxon and Chevron will at least not end up where they are now.

At that time, they could have Exxon or Chevron annex Texaco.

Or it may be merged, bankrupt and reorganized.

Any method can effectively solve this problem.

It is even possible to merge Exxon and Chevron and then annex Texaco.

At that time, this new oil giant will occupy a quarter of the U.S. and a sixth of North America's market share.

This is just an erection, the fact is that Mobil has discovered those oil fields.

But David has other ways, he is just waiting for a suitable time.

As long as he can survive the immediate crisis, he believes that new opportunities will always appear.

All they need is more patience, and when opportunities arise, they must firmly grasp it and never let go.

What he didn't expect was that Exxon, Chevron and Texaco were spotted by a hungry wolf when they were at their weakest.

"Texaco filed for bankruptcy, the Rich Council helped it complete its reorganization, and Mobil acquired Chevron wholly."

"I believe that with this money, Exxon has enough time to change." Li Zitao's proposal surprised David.

"Do you want Chevron?"

There is another sentence he did not say: ‘Why not Exxon? ’

"I wonder why it's not Exxon?" Li Zitao said actively.

"You're right. So, why?" David admitted frankly ~www.readwn.com~ because I am more optimistic about Chevron of the two, it's that simple. "

Of course Li Zitao would not admit that Chevron has the land he wants in his hands.

If you let David know, after leaving this office.

He will do everything possible, even if it is by manpower, to dig three feet and turn that piece of land upside down.

This is not the result he wanted.

"Think about it, David, this is not bad for you."

Li Zitao said flatly: "You will hold more shares of Mobil, have greater rights, and earn more profits!"

"I don't think anyone will refuse this kind of thing. It's good for you and me." Li Zitao put his arms around his shoulders and said: "This is a win-win situation!"

David was silent, but he was complaining in his heart: a win-win situation? ? ?

If he believed any word Li Zitao said, he must have been fascinated by the devil.

"Charlie, it's too sudden... I need time to think about it, and I have to find someone to discuss it. This is not my sole responsibility."

David began to shirk, he now needs time to calm himself down.

Then carefully analyze every sentence the other party has said, every word and the tone of speech.

"Of course, I just hope that our cooperation will be closer and we can make more money together."

Li Zitao said with a smile, showing an unusually calm expression.

But he still believed in his perception that this greedy hungry wolf must have smelled blood before taking the initiative to open his blood basin.

"Thank you."

After a sip of the whiskey in the glass, David smiled and said, "I'll go first, and I will contact you if I have news."

"Don't let me wait too long, David."

Looking at the back in the crack of the door slowly meeting, he muttered: "After all, my patience is running out."
