Start with a Cat and Mouse Game

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 in the short term, you can exchange for greater benefits in the future.

But capital will still choose short-term interests.

One is the visible interest. If Morgan screwed up, the other shareholders of the board of directors will definitely settle accounts with him.

Another illusory project that doesn't know the truth and the specific content, plus it's not impossible to participate in the future, normal people will choose to eat meat first.

There is also this action against the Getty family. It can be said that Dalmore is the most active, and if it is really credited, it is also the biggest.

To do it in accordance with Li Changheng's method of distributing benefits, it means that Dalmore is the biggest beneficiary.

This made the other families feel unbalanced and regretful.

At the same time, I can't help but think about getting the benefits first.

Otherwise, it is equal to cheaper Dalmo.

After all, if Li Changheng made up his mind, even if there was dissatisfaction within Citigroup, he would eventually be suppressed by him.

For the sake of profit, Dalmore will definitely stand on his side on the issue of distribution.

As a result, Lowell, Lawrence, and Elkins, who are one level behind, might even take the opportunity to stand on the side of Li Changheng and Dalmore to squeeze Rockefeller's interests together.

Seeing that Morgan and Elkins, 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 the oil company that Old Getty hated the most, Standard Oil, which had not been dismembered, would definitely come first.

Not much to say specifically, the grievances and hatreds here can directly write a novel.

Anyway, when the old Getty was young, the 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 at that time was Rockefeller.

After the Rockefellers still took 90% of the oil field, they also put their hands on railway transportation, and then the family was depressed.

Eat alone was ordered by the general barrel in person, asking their family to publish the names and shareholding ratios of all holding companies, and they could only be dismembered in the end.

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

And Li Changheng would do this, in fact, on purpose.

First of all, the interests of Dharma in this time are not as big as imagined.

And the more Morgan Stanley wants to compete for oil interests, the more intensely it will compete with Rockefeller and Texas.

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

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

If you give a little less, you will hate you, or even turn against each other.

And Getty's oil company does not have many oil fields in its hands.

When the old Getty was over 60 years old, he bought the oil field in a desperate bid.

Then for a full 5 years, nothing was found except for some low-quality crude oil.

It is conceivable how paranoid and persevering the character of the old Getty is. If it was someone else, he would have given up long ago.

After the super oil field was really discovered, the old Getty basically had no second choice except to focus all his energy and funds on how to develop the oil field in Keweit.

There is also no need for the second option.

The reason is very simple. The estimated reserves of 13 trillion barrels may have a very large amount of water, and it is more likely to be an extreme boast, but as long as the reserves of the oil field can reach 1%, it is also 130 billion barrels.

At that time, it was only 260 billion US dollars in a barrel of 2 US dollars.

If it is calculated according to the current $13, that is $1.39 trillion.

Of course, the value of oil fields is not calculated according to reserves, and a large part of crude oil cannot actually be mined.

At the same time, the further back you go, the more expensive it is to mine.

But no matter what, that field will keep the Gettys from drilling for generations.

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

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

When the pipeline is completed, the time has come to the early 1960s. At that time, the oil price was about 1.9 US dollars, and the fluctuations did not exceed 0.1 US dollars all the year round.

From the point of view of interests, it is better to continue to develop new oil pipelines and increase oil wells.

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

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

In this way, Li Changheng doesn't need to care that after the Getty Crude Oil Company is eaten by Dalmore, it will make Dalmo swell all of a sudden.

Because the company has basically nothing of value other than its employees and equipment.

And oil workers and talents, Li Changheng does not need, he does not want to enter the refining and refined oil business.

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

As for refineries and cruise ships.

Morgan Stanley's entry into the oil field originally depended on the dismemberment of Rockefeller. 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 doesn't 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 smiled and watched Annie drive, while Morgan and the others looked at Rockefeller with a gloomy expression, waiting for him to compromise or face Li Changheng.

There was silence all the way until near the fourth hole. Seeing that the old Rockefeller was still undecided, Li Changheng asked Annie to go first.

He turned around and said to everyone, "Gentlemen, let's play first, after all, being ahead temporarily doesn't mean you're the ultimate winner.

And to be honest, the Getty's refinery, oil company ~lightnovelpub.net~ and the fleet of oil tankers that have been sold due to the outbreak of the oil crisis are worth more than one billion at most.

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

On the contrary, those works of art in the hands of the old Getty, in my opinion, are really valuable and preserve their value.

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

Rockefeller and the others' eyes lit up, and they immediately felt that Li Changheng was waiting for Old Getty to see God.

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

As for Li Changheng, refineries and oil companies are only worth one billion dollars.

Everyone just thinks that he doesn't understand that occupying market share and not giving competitors the opportunity to enter the market is more important than money.

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

However, which of the people present is not a greedy existence.
