Chapter 1996 is Kroll's betrayal
Pissart started out as a fraud and was full of lies from top to bottom. McClassor is the biggest liar. He fabricated a lie of shale oil to whitewash his unlucky land, but in fact, those lands are worthless at all!
Just yesterday, McClellon announced that he would spend $5 million to acquire Louisiana Marathon Oil Company, but in fact, what about the valuation of that company and the land he owned would not exceed $1 million.
In this way, when McClane uses Marathon Oil Company and land projects to issue corporate bonds, he can make a net profit of four million!
In the agreement between Pissart and Kroll, Pisart will ask Kroll to cooperate with Pissart's publicity activities. The first thing is to ensure the value of the land and promote the news that there are huge oil fields underground.
This is the most sinister lie...
In the morning, when Zhou Ming was exercising with Zhang Lin as usual, he saw McClane running out hurriedly with the newspaper, and then Zhou Ming saw a piece of news accusing Pissart's fraud.
McClane was angry: "It must be that bastard Kroll. I knew he would definitely betray us. He was a greedy demon from the inside out. This news must be sold to Madison or Piero and the others!"
Compared to McClan's anger, Zhou Ming was enjoying it: "I have to say that this reporter is interesting. This grammatical description makes me feel that we have all become the villains of Hollywood movies!"
"Mr. Zhou Ming, that's how we are bad!"
McClane's eyes widened. He didn't understand why Zhou Ming was at this critical moment and could still be so optimistic.
Zhou Ming told him not to be so excited: "I don't think the situation is bad. After all, we didn't expect Kroll to help us keep it a secret. And it just so happened that we could use this as an excuse to refuse to fulfill the agreement and take over his company and land in vain. This saved us a full two million dollars!"
"As for the second one..."
Zhou Ming pointed to the newspaper's name: "Wall Street Times, this is the work of Fox Group, which is the financial wealth of New York, and he cannot represent everyone."
Originally, McClass was still very excited when he heard the first point, but at the second point, McClass seemed to have thought of something.
"Mr. Zhou Ming, do you mean that not everyone wants to make this news public?" McClass asked.
Zhou Ming answered with great certainty: "Of course, not everyone wants to destroy Pissart."
After Zhou Ming finished speaking, he returned the newspaper to McClass: "So there is no need to be so excited. Let's continue to do our business, and we will not go public. This negative impact on the bond market is not as direct as the stock market. Let's continue to prepare for corporate bond issuance for marathon projects."
Looking at Zhou Ming's calm and gentle appearance, McCross was not panicked. After all, with such a boss, what else is he afraid of?
...
And as Zhou Ming expected, when Madison got up in the morning and saw the news from the New York Times, he jumped on the spot.
"Farke! Piero and Freeman, what are they trying to do? Do they want to ruin Pisat?"
Immediately afterwards, Braun and Pockman also called one after another to ask about the news. Although they had been putting pressure on McLaren and Pissart,
But they never want to ruin the company.
After all, they are also optimistic about the future development of the shale oil industry and hope to take the ride-hailing by mastering the controlling stake in Pisart. If Pisart is destroyed, it means that they have to find a way to build a shale oil company and re-track the land hoarding process in Pisart's way.
This requires a large amount of money to be invested again. Even if you follow the Pisart model to pursue corporate bond financing, it may not be as smooth as Pisart.
Because now, there are many companies like Kroll and Marathon who want to get a piece of the shale oil industry. If Pisart really fails, how many people will be coveted by such a large market share, and how fierce competition will it form, and how much price will they pay to control the market?
"So this must be the conspiracy of Piero's bastards! They just want to disrupt the market in such disgusting ways to achieve their bad goals. We must not let him succeed!"
It is impossible not to say that this matter is very important. Even people like Pockman, who have always been calm, have emphasized to Madison so eagerly.
In fact, there is no need to emphasize that as Madison, who has been targeting McLaren and Pissart for so long, it is impossible for him to understand. It’s just that this matter is complicated to deal with. You can’t go to Zhou Ming and McLaren to talk to each other and then cooperate, right? They want to save face.
But at this time, Madison received a call from Broad.
This was something he unexpected. Madison knew that third-party forces represented by Broad also wanted to take Pissart's equity, so they were still in a competitive relationship.
What Madison even more unexpected was the purpose of Broad's call, so he opened his mouth and expressed his hope to cooperate with Texas.
Broad's meaning is very clear: "Everyone wants to take control of Pissart. If everyone has no problem in competing normally, but now someone wants to set fire, this is absolutely not allowed, so we may reach a cooperation to some extent and put out the fire first."
Broad's proposal made Madison very moved, but he still did not agree on the spot, but said that he needed to discuss with other partners before making a decision.
Broad praised it as a careful consideration.
Broad then hung up the phone, but when Madison called Pockman and Braun to discuss seriously, excitedly thinking that they had finally found a partner, they did not expect that Broad called McLaren immediately.
On the phone, Broad first told the cooperation between him and Madison.
"McLan, you should understand what you are facing now. This news from the Wall Street Times is his purpose to destroy Pissart, and Texas also obviously want to take advantage of this opportunity to coerce you, and then take the opportunity to make excessive acquisition requests. In this case, I think you can only cooperate with me!" Broad emphasized.
Under Zhou Ming's instruction, McClass replied in a very formulaic way: "Uncle Broad, I'm actually very confused because we have never closed the door to cooperation, and we also welcome your investment."
McClassor even said: "Pisat will issue corporate bonds for marathon projects next, which is a good investment project..."
Brod was angry when he heard this: "Mac
Lun, don’t you understand what I’m talking about? What I want is shares, not a bullshit corporate debt. Do you really don’t understand? They all want to destroy Pissat, only me, your uncle, want to save you!”
Since Brod said so bluntly, McClass didn't go around in circles: "I never doubt this. Uncle Brod, but Uncle Brod seems to have made a mistake. The situation in Pissart is not difficult now, and we have no intention of compromising with anyone."
Then McClane hung up the phone, leaving Broad on the other end of the phone in a striking and suspicious manner.
On McClane's side, when he hung up the phone, he did not rush to discuss anything with Zhou Ming, because Kroll was sitting in front of them.
Kroll came here to explain. When he saw the news in the newspaper in the morning, he rushed over. Although he knew very well that Piero and those guys were not fuel-efficient and would definitely use the news he had betrayed, he didn't expect it to come so quickly anyway.
Now that he has just reached a cooperation agreement with Zhou Ming and McCron, he has not given a cent of money yet, he dare not let the cooperation fail, otherwise the investors behind him will really put him in ashes.
Kroll sat there tremblingly. Seeing McClane finishing the phone call, he hurriedly said: "You really have to believe me. I have never betrayed any news, and I don't know what the news is going on!"
If you beat him to death, you won’t admit it. This is Kroll’s strategy.
However, the Louisiana State University professor obviously lacked some experience, because the behavior of his hastily explained it, which is already very telling.
However, it is not the time to tear apart, so Zhou Ming and McLaren did not accuse him of this matter. Zhou Ming just analyzed the current situation with him: "I believe that Professor Kroll, you have already seen the phone call just now. Mr. Broad of Oklama Petroleum Group has come to put pressure first. Although Mr. Broad is Mr. McLaren's uncle, I believe you understand the matters in terms of shares."
Kroll nodded repeatedly. In front of capital, there was no family affection at all.
Zhou Ming then emphasized to Kroll: "Many things have no cause, and I don't emphasize the reason, but objectively speaking, this article has had a very negative impact on Pissart and the marathon project that will be carried out soon."
Speaking of this, Zhou Ming deliberately paused, and Kroll nodded immediately: "I understand. I will publish an article to fight back immediately to prove that our cooperation, and the marathon is buried with large shale oil fields!"
Zhou Ming shook his head: "It's not enough. After all, you know that we are planning to raise funds through the capital market, and may even plan to go public. The capital market is quite sensitive to this negative news. Dr. Kroll, you must unite with more authoritative news!"
After hearing this, Kroll pondered for a while and said, "I can jointly publish data with the LSU Geology Laboratory to prove the value of a marathon! I can also jointly publish news with several colleagues from New Mexico and North Dakota, which will definitely offset the impact."
Zhou Ming did not comment on Kroll's method this time, but just told him: "What I want is actions and effects."
At the same time, he reminded: "And the oil summit is coming to an end soon."
Kroll immediately stood up and said he would do it immediately...
