Chapter 1176: greedy

To put it bluntly, in order to maintain the stock price and market value, even if you know that you will suffer short-term losses, you can get greater benefits in the future.

But capital will still choose short-term interests.

One is the visible benefits. If Morgan messes up, other shareholders on the board will definitely settle accounts with him.

Another project that is illusory, does not know the authenticity and specific content, and there is no chance to participate in it in the future, normal people will choose to eat meat first.

And this time against Getty's family, it can be said that Damo is the most active, and if it is really credited, it is also the biggest.

If we really follow Li Changheng's method of distributing benefits, it means that Morgan Stanley is the biggest beneficiary.

This made the other companies feel unbalanced and regretful.

At the same time, he couldn't help but think about getting the benefits first.

Otherwise, it is equivalent to cheaper Dalmo.

After all, if Li Changheng made up his mind, even if someone in Citigroup was dissatisfied, he would eventually suppress him.

Damo will definitely stand on his side on the issue of distribution for the sake of profit.

In this way, Lowell, Lawrence, and Elkins, who are one level behind in power, might take the opportunity to side with Li Changheng and Damo to squeeze Rockefeller's interests together.

Seeing that Morgan and Elkins, a pair of rivals whose competition is far greater than friendship, both agreed with Li Changheng's decision.

Lowell and Lawrence looked at each other, and finally nodded, agreeing.

As for Rockefeller, Li Changheng smiled.

If you want to list which oil company the old Getty hated the most, Standard Oil, which has not been dismembered back then, will definitely rank first.

Not much to say in detail, the grievances and hatreds in it can be directly written in a book.

Anyway, when the old Getty was young, his biggest enemies were basically Standard Oil and Rockefeller, the predecessors of Mobil.

In other words, the only enemy of all large, medium and small oil companies back then was Rockefeller.

After Rockefeller took 90% of the oil field, he also extended his hand to rail transportation, and then the family became depressed.

Eat alone food until they are personally ordered by the chief barrel to require their family to announce the names and shareholding ratios of all companies in which they hold shares, and they can only be dismembered in the end.

If Li Changheng talked about the distribution model, Rockefeller would suffer a lot.

And Li Changheng did this on purpose.

First of all, the interests of Morgan Stanley this time are not as great as expected.

And the more Morgan Stanley wants to compete for oil interests, the more intense the competition with Rockefeller and Texas will be.

Second, Li Changheng knows very well that even for allies and friends, he can't be too kind to them.

Otherwise, they will get used to it slowly, and they will think that what they get is what they deserve.

If you give a little less, you will hate you, and even turn against you.

And Getty's oil company doesn't have many oil fields in its hands.

When the old Getty was over 60 years old, he bought the oil field desperately.

Then for 5 full years, nothing was found except some bad crude oil.

It is conceivable that the old Getty's character is so paranoid and resolute, if it were someone else, he would have given up long ago.

After the super oil field was actually discovered, the old Getty basically had no other choice but to put all his energy and funds on how to develop the Kuwait oil field.

No need for a second option either.

The reason is simple. The estimated reserves of 13 trillion barrels may be very watery, and it may be an extreme bragging, but as long as the reserves of the oil field can reach 1%, that is 130 billion barrels.

Just based on the $2 a barrel at that time, there were also $260 billion.

If it is calculated based on the current US$13, it is US$1.39 trillion.

Of course, the value of an oil field is not calculated according to its reserves, and a large part of crude oil cannot actually be extracted.

At the same time, the further you go to the back, the greater the cost of mining.

But in any case, that oil field can make the Getty family unexploitable for several lifetimes.

Moreover, not only many oil wells in this oilfield are self-flowing wells, but the quality of the oil is also very high. The only trouble is that the oilfield is deep in the desert.

In order to transport the oil out, the first choice must be the oil pipeline.

When the pipeline was built, the time had come to the early 1960s. At that time, the oil price was around US$1.9, and the fluctuation did not exceed US$0.1 all year round.

From the perspective of interests, it is better to continue to develop new oil pipelines and increase oil wells than to establish its own cruise fleet and oil refinery, and take all the interests of upstream and downstream into its mouth.

It can be said that after the age of 60, the old Getty basically put all his energy on how to reduce costs in order to cope with the competition from other oil giants.

In addition, the oil production of its own oil fields cannot be shipped, or rather than buying new oil fields in the United States, it is better to expand the oil production of its own oil fields.

In this way, Li Changheng doesn't have to worry about the sudden expansion of Getty Crude Oil Company by Morgan Stanley.

Because this company basically doesn't have much valuable things except for employees and equipment.

Li Changheng does not need oil workers and talents, nor does he want to enter the oil refining and refined oil business.

Because once it enters these two industries, it is destined to have direct competition with several oil giants.

As for refineries and cruise fleets.

Morgan Stanley was able to enter the oil field because Rockefeller was dismembered back then. It can be said that the more Morgan Stanley entered the oil field, the greater the competition with Rockefeller and other forces.

As long as Li Changheng does not participate in the competition between them, it can be said that everyone has to win him over, and no one will offend him in the oil field.

Li Changheng watched Annie drive with a smile, while Morgan and the others looked at Rockefeller with a cloudy expression and waited for him to compromise or confront Li Changheng.

There was silence all the way, and near the fourth hole, Li Changheng saw that the old Rockefeller was still undecided, so he asked Annie to go first.

Turning around, he said to everyone, "Gentlemen, let's play first, after all, being ahead temporarily does not mean that we are the final winner.

And to be honest, the Getty family's oil refinery, oil company, and fleet of few tankers that have been sold due to the outbreak of the oil crisis are worth more than a billion yuan at most.

This business may be big enough for others~lightnovelpub.net~, but for you, it should be nothing.

On the contrary, the works of art in old Getty's hands are, in my opinion, the things that are really valuable and keep their value.

However, in terms of time, it may take another year and a half. "

The eyes of Rockefeller and others lit up, and they immediately felt that Li Changheng was waiting for Old Getty to meet God.

Then set your sights on the nearly 50,000 artworks in the Getty home.

As for what Li Changheng said, oil refineries and oil companies are only worth more than a billion dollars.

Everyone assumes that he doesn't understand that occupying market share and preventing competitors from entering the market are more important than money.

But within a few seconds, several people felt that Li Changheng was not that stupid and would tell his purpose.

However, none of the people present were greedy.
