Chapter 1677: 1685

After discussing some details, the matter was finalized and the chief financial officer of AOL was dismissed. There were only two people left in the conference room. Leon black and Simon talked about another thing: "Simon, if my judgment is right, the Republican Party may win this time, right?"

The operation of this presidential election belongs to the core secret of the Westeros system, and Leon black is not yet aware of it.

However, as long as you are sharp enough, you can also make a certain judgment through many clues, such as the operation details of the political action committee or other affiliated political lobbying agencies that are necessary for all enterprises in the Westeros system.

Of course, the premise is that the person who can make a judgment must have a certain position in the Westeros system, roughly Leon Blake, so that he can obtain the corresponding information and draw a conclusion. Otherwise, the blind will touch the elephant and only one spot will be seen.

On the other hand, at the level of Leon black, the deep interest binding, even if something is found, the probability of betrayal is very small. Even if it is betrayed, it is still difficult to grasp enough evidence.

For Leon Black's bright eyes, Simon just smiled and didn't answer directly, but asked, "Leon, do you have any plans?"

Leon Blake didn't expect to get an exact answer from his boss, but looking at Simon's expression, he could roughly judge at this time, and then said: "in fact, it's chevron. Since last year, Chevron executives have made a proposal to promote the merger with Texaco. Simon, you should also have heard the news?"

Simon nodded.

This is the result of the collision between the Westeros system and the Mellon family, another old powerful family in the United States.

After the collapse of the Mellon family, westrow system, with its strong capital strength and subsequent series of capital operations, gradually took over a series of enterprise giants that were once heavily held by the Mellon consortium, including Mellon bank, which had been merged by Bank of New York, Warner Lambert, an old pharmaceutical giant that had been merged with Pfizer, Alcoa, the largest aluminum giant in the Federation, and so on.

Chevron is also one of them.

In a word, this is mainly because Simon personally finalized the capital expansion strategy of Westeros system transferring from the tertiary industry to the secondary industry, and the dispute with the Mellon family is only an opportunity.

Compared with film and television entertainment or network technology, Simon still believes that it is the fundamental to maintain the normal operation of human society to be able to provide tangible physical industries, including the secondary industry and the more basic primary industry. Even if the profit margin is lower, it is better to have a long stream of water.

If you have to have a theory, maybe a proverb in your memory can be used as an argument.

Prosperous antiques, chaotic gold.

Of course, it's not literal. It needs understanding.

Looking back at human history, is it the time of prosperity longer, or the time of chaos longer?

Obviously the latter.

The brief peace is easy to intoxicate people, but it is never eternal. The simplest thing is to pull out a 70 year time scale roughly equivalent to the life of ordinary people.

With the advent of turbulence, it no longer matters what kind of finance, film and television, or network.

Just like in the extreme doomsday story, if you hoard cans, medicine and fuel in a warehouse, you are the king. Some people who hoard DVDs starve to death at the first time.

Conference room.

Leonblake continued: "Several previous contacts were not smooth, and Texaco's opposition was very loud. However, there have been some turnarounds recently. Just last month, a vice president in charge of the financial business department of Texaco was attacked and mysteriously died. The matter has not yet been resolved, but various rumors have made Texaco's share price fall for a month in a row. In addition, the person in charge is also an executive within Texaco who is most firmly opposed to the sale , which is closely related to several important holding funds behind Texaco. In short, if we make contact now, we may have different results. "

Simon heard Blake finish, and his strange expression flashed by.

Energy enterprises often have very important financial business departments, which are responsible for investment, securities lending and other businesses on the one hand, and the futures field on the other hand, so as to reduce the risk of enterprises in the cyclical fluctuations of energy prices through hedging.

This is the second.

The key is that Simon is very clear about how the Texaco executive was killed in the attack.

Unexpectedly, things will bring unexpected results.

Leon Blake said, seeing that his boss didn't respond immediately, he seemed to be a little distracted. Wait a moment, Cai continued: "in addition, as long as we throw out the materials about Enron in our hands, it will certainly have a great impact on the energy enterprises, which can also help us promote the merger of Chevron and Texaco. In the past few years, the oil price has been depressed, during this period, in order to maintain the stock price, the energy enterprises will inevitably do some tricks on the financial statements."

Simon withdrew his thoughts, listened to Leon black finish, thought a little, and said: "yes, in addition, according to Pfizer's plan to acquire Warner Lambert, we also need to win no less than 15% of the shares of the new company."

Westeros currently holds a lot of shares in chevron. Westeros and BlackRock asset management together account for more than 8%, and have two of Chevron's nine board seats.

However, there is still a big gap from the actual control.

If the acquisition succeeds, Pfizer's strategy of acquiring Warner Lambert will win the actual control of a world-class super energy giant once again as long as it operates properly.

Leon black nodded, say: "At present, the total market value of Chevron and Texaco is $90billion. Considering the 20% premium, if the insider of Enron is thrown out, there should not be too much premium. Perhaps, after the stock market turns from the highest point, it is a takeover premium, and the final merger price may be lower. To win 15% of the shares, we need to use no more than $15billion. Just this time, if everything goes well, we can just raise such a short Funds. "

Simon was a little surprised: "the total market value of the two companies is only 90billion?"

"Yes"

Leon Blake said that he understood why his boss was surprised. After all, the Enron company just discussed, which is also the main energy business, has a market value of more than 70billion, while as the second and third largest oil companies in the United States, the total market value is only 90billion dollars, which is really not high.

Simon also reacted quickly.

For example, igrit, which has broken through the market value of trillion dollars at present, is actually an anomaly in this era, an anomaly in the foam era. As for Enron, it also hyped its own concept of technology stocks, and frantically made false accounts to boast high income, which had a market value of $70billion.

However, enterprises such as chevron or Texaco are the normal state of the global capital market.

Old industrial giants in the United States, such as Boeing, Ford, Loma, etc., are generally only worth tens of billions of dollars. Even if the current peak of the U.S. bull market can exceed 100 billion or even higher, only a few at the top of the pyramid, such as general electric and ExxonMobil.

In the final analysis, the financial market still focuses on the future and growth.

Just like Tesla in the past, the market value of a company at the peak of its share price is directly equivalent to the total market value of all other traditional auto giants in the world, or even more.

Now, similarly, if the book value of an igrit is calculated, it is enough to buy a dozen famous traditional industrial giants in the United States. Of course, this is only in theory, and there is no feasibility to implement it.

Simon didn't completely eat a lot of industrial giants.

Through leverage, we can use a small amount of capital to control these established enterprises, and tie countless other capital to the chariot of Westeros system to form a community of interests, which is the king's way.

With this in mind, Simon discussed more details with Leon black, and the matter was settled.

Say goodbye to Blake. For the rest of the afternoon, Simon met with the executives of cersei capital's other two companies to discuss some recent corporate affairs.

When the work of the day is over, it is already more than six o'clock in the evening.

Return to the super mansion on the top floor of Westeros building nearby.

I made an appointment with the konavs sisters and the little guys of two women to have dinner in advance. When I got home, Melania and InAs had arrived in advance, and the little guys who were about to turn one year old in two months, Max westero and Toby westero.

The topic of dinner naturally revolves around the upcoming birthday.

Although Melania is a sister, her child Max is three days older than Toby. She was born on October 16, that is, next Monday, and then another little guy, October 19.

Since they both had children, the situation that the sisters were completely dominated by Melania on Simon's side has changed. As a sister, InAs has been quietly competing with her sister.

This time, a small birthday party is no exception. InAs thinks that October 19 is Thursday, which is closer to the weekend, so she can put the birthday party of the two children together on that day.

Melania certainly disagreed.

The two sisters obviously have their own little abacus in private. They haven't communicated in advance. Don't get angry at the table and almost quarrel.

Simon was eating by himself on the ground, occasionally taking care of the little guys on the baby seats left and right. The 1-year-old child immediately could already eat something other than milk. The two little guys didn't recognize each other. Simon handed over the spoon, opened his mouth and ate it. Both of them looked at their mother and aunt bickering opposite with interest.

The two sisters did not quarrel in front of Simon after all. Feeling that their anger was out of control, they stopped in time and looked at the man across the table together.

Simon fed a spoonful of specially prepared baby nutrition porridge to Max on his left again. Looking at the waitress quietly guarding next to him, he carefully wiped the traces on the little guy's mouth, then turned to the opposite side and said, "if you can't agree, hold it separately. There's no need to get together."

Simon's tone was a little light, which made both sisters regret their previous argument, thinking that it must have made the man unhappy.

After a moment of silence, InAs didn't dare to speak, and Melania could only speak first: "Simon, I mean the baby's birthday party, will you attend?"

The two women didn't expect too much. Unexpectedly, Simon nodded: "my first birthday is very important. I'll show up. However, it's not necessarily in the future. It depends on the time."

The main reason is that there are a lot of them.

At the beginning of last year, I went crazy in Park City, Utah. At the end of the year, I got together six little guys, almost a gourd vine. Finally, they were all born in mid and late October.

Simon's consideration, after all, is his own child, and it's still an important first birthday. It's too inhumane not to attend. If oneortwo of them are more inappropriate, just go through them impartially.

Of course, this year is the case, but not next year.

With so many children, Simon doesn't want to rush on the way to celebrate his birthday every month.

Hearing Simon's words, the sisters lit up their eyes at the same time and looked at each other again. This time, InAs grabbed and said, "Simon, can I invite some relatives and friends to attend?"

"Well," Simon nodded, looking at little Toby on the right, opening his mouth like a chick, took up the porridge bowl and fed it to him, and then ordered, "remember to communicate with ange in advance."

The two women nodded at the same time.

It's hard to avoid thinking that although men don't see anyone on weekdays, they are still very good for them, and even for the two little guys.

After dinner, the two sisters who got together again were brewing how to get a man's mind this night, and Simon was ready to go out again.

There is also a reception tonight.

George Soros led a gathering of the financial circles on Wall Street. In addition, HillaryClinton, who ran for the Senate in New York this year, will also attend.

Since it is determined that Hillary Clinton will be sent to the White House at the right time in the future, the Westeros system has also contributed a lot to the other party's Senatorial Campaign this year.

This is a face-to-face meeting.

In fact, it's still some manipulation of people's hearts. Man is a forgetful creature. If Simon doesn't show up for a long time, maybe some people will feel that they have been out of Westeros' sight and can let birds fly high in the sky.

This is not good.

Seeing that Simon had to go out, I thought that this was the end of the evening. The sisters were a little disappointed until Simon impatiently sent them to change their clothes, and then refreshed.

At more than eight o'clock, the reception over there had begun for more than an hour, and Simon took the konavs sisters out with him.

Taking two female partners at the same time is somewhat inappropriate for others, and it takes Simon for granted.

Big people always have privileges.

With Simon's rank, there is no limit. After all, Simon never built himself in the direction of a serious gentleman.

However, the reception that made the two women cheer up seemed dull to Simon.

If there's anything worth mentioning, it's probably that Simon didn't expect that a golden hair also appeared at the reception tonight, but he didn't know how the other party got into the relationship with Soros.

Then, of course, greeting when meeting.

Although a certain golden hair is also a famous Playboy in New York City, he dare not have any difference with the two sisters around Simon, while Melania and InAs are also true to golden hair. So the scene when the two sides exchanged greetings made Simon feel very interesting.
