In a hotel opposite the company, Stephens put down his earphones after being kicked out by Xiao Yunhai and said angrily, "This Gavin Dulles is outrageous. How dare he badmouth me? Humph, if I were still on the board, I'd make you regret it. Unfortunately, Ulysses failed. Otherwise, he'd be a billionaire. "
His wireless eavesdropping device was not very effective. It couldn't be too far away, or he wouldn't be able to hear anything.
Originally, it was best to stay in his office, but unfortunately, Xiao Yunhai told him to pack up and scram. With no other choice, he could only book a room on the highest floor of the hotel across the street and eavesdrop on Xiao Yunhai.
Stephens took out his cell phone and dialed Terrence Bessey's number.
"Mr. Bessey, Ulysses failed. However, Kungfu Xiao didn't suspect anything. He'll have a meeting in three days when he understands the situation. "
Terrence Bessey said, "Mr. Xiao isn't an ordinary person. It's not easy to fool him. In order to make him completely trust us, it seems that I have to meet him. "
Stephens said, "Are you going to sell the shares to him?"
Terrence Bessey nodded and said, "I'm not interested in Pekar. Now that he's offered such a high price, it'd be suspicious if I don't sell it. You don't have to worry about this. I'll call him personally and ask him to meet us. "
After hanging up, Stephens said to himself, "It seems that I can't keep the shares in my hands."
At seven o 'clock in the evening, Xiao Yunhai arrived at an Italian restaurant and immediately saw Terrence and Bessie who had invited him over. There was only him and two bodyguards in the restaurant. It was impossible not to see them.
Xiao Yunhai walked over and said with a smile, "Mr. Bessey, nice to meet you."
He had to admit that Terrence Bessey was a handsome guy. He was about the same age as Xiao Yunhai. He was tall and slender and had the temperament of a noble. If he had to give a score, Xiao Yunhai would definitely give him 100 points.
Terrence Bessie stood up and shook hands with him politely. He smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao, nice to meet you. Nice to meet you too. Speaking of which, I'm your fan. I've seen almost all of your music and film works. They're really great. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "It's my honor. I met Miss Bessie in Los Angeles some time ago, and she seemed to be very interested in Steyr Networks. I didn't expect Mr. Bessie to be so interested in PEC Oil and Gas in New York. What a coincidence. "
The corner of Terrence Bessey's mouth curled up slightly, and he said bluntly, "My cousin has always been very arrogant. This time, she suffered a serious setback in the acquisition of Steer Internet Company. It can be considered a lesson for her, so that she won't be so arrogant anymore. As for me, I seemed to have the same outcome as her. I wanted to acquire Pec, but you beat me to it. "
Xiao Yunhai took a sip of coffee and didn't hide anything. He said, "Hua Xia wants to develop the western region and opened the door to resources. I wanted a piece of the pie. Plus, I happened to own 38% of Pec's shares, so I asked my team to buy it. Mr. Bessey, I still don't understand why you want to buy Pec. What's so special about it that TMC is interested in? "
Terrence Bessey smiled and said, "Pec has mature distribution channels, oil and gas pipelines covering almost all of the country, and six large oil refineries. More importantly, it's cheap. After we get it, no other company in the country can compete with us. "
Xiao Yunhai looked at his beautiful eyes and said doubtfully, "Mr. Bessey, I don't believe you. That's too far-fetched. "
Terrence Bessey said, "I don't need to lie to you. This afternoon, my secretary told me that you offered a high price for the shares, right? "
Xiao Yunhai paused and said, "What? Mr. Bessey, are you going to sell it to me? "
"Of course." Terrence Bessey made a helpless expression and said, "You now have absolute control of the shares and need to raise 100 billion USD. What's the point of me holding 5% of the shares? I might as well earn some money and give it back. Consider it as making a friend. "
The suspicion on Xiao Yunhai's face slowly receded, revealing a look of relief as he said: "I actually somewhat believe your words. Oh right, you said that you're interested in our oil refineries and pipelines. We're going to sell the two refineries in the south at a cheap price. Only 10 billion USD. How about that? "
Terrence Bessey stirred his coffee. He seemed to be thinking, but in fact, he was cursing in his heart. What a profiteer. Gavin Dulles said it's worth 8 billion USD at most, and you want 10 billion USD? You're really shameless.
"7 billion USD. That's the most I can offer," Terrence Bessey said after a while.
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Mr. Bessey, I don't want to haggle with you here. My bottom line is 8.5 billion USD."
"8 billion USD. I'll buy it. After all, the equipment in your two refineries is too old. If we didn't need the pipelines, they wouldn't be worth that much, "Terrence Bessey said directly.
Xiao Yunhai paused. He couldn't help but frown, as if his weakness had been stepped on. He also thought for a while and said, "Okay, 8 billion USD it is. We'll sign the contract tomorrow morning. Your shares are worth about 13 billion USD. I'll reduce the 8 billion USD and give you another 5 billion USD. "
Terrence Bessey nodded and said, "Okay. I wish us a happy cooperation. "
Xiao Yunhai reached out and shook his hand, saying, "To a pleasant cooperation."
The two little foxes smiled brightly, but inside, they were scheming against each other.
It had to be said that only people with high IQ could play well in the business world. If he was slightly foolish, Xiao Yun Hai would have been eaten by others until not even his bones were left.
The two of them sat in the coffee shop and chatted happily for an hour before leaving.
In the car, Terrence Bessie closed his eyes and suddenly sighed deeply. He said, "Seeing is really better than hearing about it a hundred times. If I hadn't taken the initiative and Kungfu Xiao wasn't familiar with this industry, it wouldn't have been easy to beat him. It's no wonder that David Steele has been defeated by Kung Fu Xiao time and time again in the business world. He's indeed a tough opponent. "
After a long conversation, Terrence Bessey gave Xiao Yunhai a very high evaluation.
Xiao Yunhai returned to the hotel and took a shower. Then he called Christy and asked her to come over.
Xiao Yunhai said, "This Terrence Bessey has been fooled. He'll sell his shares to us tomorrow. At the same time, he'll sell the two oil refineries in Southern America to him for eight billion USD. In this way, we only need to spend five billion USD to buy back the entire Pec company. "
Christy smiled. "That's great. Mr. Xiao, did you find out why he suddenly bought Pec? "
Xiao Yunhai narrowed his eyes and said with certainty, "I don't have any evidence, but I'm pretty sure that they're doing it for the exploration team in Texas. They must have discovered oil and the reserves are definitely huge. Otherwise, Bessey wouldn't be so anxious. "
Christy's eyes widened. She said in disbelief, "You're saying that there's a huge oil field in Texas, but the exploration team didn't report it and worked with TMC Energy to trick us? This … this … this is already suspected of commercial fraud. Aren't they a little too bold? "
Xiao Yunhai said, "That's about right. They came with an agreement this afternoon. As long as I sign it, Texas will no longer have anything to do with our company. Haha, good, this Terrence Bessey really has some skills. He managed to get rid of our company's higher-ups and hundreds of people in the exploration team without leaking any information. He's really something. "
Christie let out a long sigh of relief, suppressing the shock in her heart, and said, "If all of this is true, then our entire company will immediately rise from the dead, and there will be nothing that can stop us from moving forward. The key is, how big is the oil reserve? "
Xiao Yunhai said, "I think it's at least ten billion barrels. Otherwise, Bessey wouldn't even care about it."
Christy smiled. "If that's the case, then that's great. Mr. Xiao, have you sent someone to investigate? "
Xiao Yunhai said, "I've hired a lot of private investigators. For such a big matter, they couldn't possibly make it watertight. Once they find evidence, I'll make them pay for what they've done. "
In the next two days, Xiao Yunhai worked at Pekar Oil and Gas Company. He recruited a lot of experienced geologists, drilling engineers, chemical experts, and other talents at a high price. The related equipment was also in the process of negotiation.
The employees saw that under Xiao Yunhai's management, the company's salary was doubled and the working environment was greatly improved. They all settled down.
During this time, Stephens and Bessey's shares were bought back by Xiao Yunhai. In this way, other than the 11% shares on the market, the rest was in Xiao Yunhai's hands.
Like other companies, Xiao Yunhai didn't raise any funds. He didn't lack money now. He would wait and see.
