"Impossible!"
Facing Li Feng's proposal, old Michelle suddenly burst out and shouted.
Obviously, Li Feng's proposal made old Michelle angry. Unexpectedly, Li Feng would make such a request. The old guy was surprised and angry at the same time.
"Michelle, I think this is a good proposal for both sides. Please calm down and listen to me. OK?" Li Feng was not angry, but said with a smile.
"Michelle, calm down and listen to John first!" Xiao bu also advised him.
"OK, I'd like to hear it. How can it be good for both sides?" The old guy's face was full of anger, and his face, which was dissatisfied with wrinkles, was covered with wrinkles and wrinkles, with an angry murmur.
"Michelle, as I said before, you are almost 80 years old, so how long can you support? If you don't like it, I don't know whether you can realize the commercial mass production operation of shale gas in your lifetime.
As for me, I can promise to continue to support research funds of no less than US $500 million for at least 20 years in the future.
Second, I also promise here that before you retire, you will always be the head of Michelle energy company. I will not interfere with your control of the company. Even after you retire, you will be a lifelong consultant and occupy a seat on the board of directors.
Third, I think my bid will be a very tempting price. I know your control over Michelle energy company, but as far as I know, there have been a lot of objections in your company's board of directors. After all, it has lasted for so many years. In the face of huge money burning actions, few people can insist.
Well, as long as I acquire it, I will fully support you, avoid all kinds of interference, and enable you to devote yourself to the development of shale gas technology. Of course, as the founder and some management of Michelle energy, I will also reserve some shares for you. "
……
In the face of the three points promised by Li Feng, it is obvious that the sincerity is very great, so that Xiao Bu and old Michelle have temporarily rested. Even in Xiao Bu's view, Li Feng's conditions are too generous.
"Michelle, as far as I know, Michelle energy has invested more than US $250 million in shale gas since the 1980s. In addition to technical research, it also includes land accumulation. Obviously, you may think that success is not far away.
Unfortunately, there is still a long way to go. Maybe tomorrow or 10 or 20 years later, I am willing to invest. In fact, most of these lands are in the form of lease. If I buy them, I will support you to buy them all.
I am willing to gamble and hoard these resources, even if there is no breakthrough in technology. "
Li Feng still expressed his support for Michelle. Obviously, these still make the old guy very moved.
After all, now that I'm old, I'm not thinking about blindly controlling the company, but about a breakthrough in shale gas technology. After all, a breakthrough means that I can leave a name in the history of American energy, just like the founder of the Rockefeller family in those years.
"Can you guarantee that you can support me with all your strength? Has the company has the final say?"
"Of course, I think this can be written into the contract. Michelle, I come with 100% sincerity. Others may want to get huge returns immediately, but I'm not. You know, I'm really not short of money now. In a proud word, money is just a number.
I am willing to invest in the technology development of shale gas, the future and the cause of getting rid of the energy crisis in the United States. I think it will be helpful for my future and all aspects of development in the United States. "
Well, if Li Feng is full of sincerity, Michelle and even Xiao Bu will feel it for a while. Li Feng is really a good man. Even Li Feng himself was almost moved by his great sentiment, not to mention others.
……
Although I don't know whether Xiao Bu and Michelle are moved by Li Feng's "great sentiment" of struggling to get rid of the energy crisis and investing in shale gas, which looks like a bottomless pit, at least they are no longer firm opposition.
Naturally, Li Feng also knows that if he wants to acquire directly, he can succeed not just by saying so. Li Feng is ready to let people investigate Michelle company and major shareholders, first acquire some shareholders who oppose Michelle's continuous investment in shale gas projects, and then launch a comprehensive acquisition.
To tell the truth, Michelle energy company can be said to give Li Feng a natural springboard and an opportunity to be a new industry leader. In addition to technical breakthroughs, it also has a large number of shale gas and oil land reserve resources. Is there a better and more appropriate insertion opportunity than this?
It is said that the subsequent shale gas revolution is an energy revolution led by small and medium-sized enterprises, which gives Li Feng the opportunity to become a giant in the future shale gas and oil energy industry, which will never be missed in Li Feng's heart.
"John, George, Michelle, you're here!"
Just as Li Feng chatted with the two, a smiling greeting came from Kenneth Lai, the founder and chairman of Enron group, who had met before. In addition to him, there was a tall middle-aged white man.
After introducing Xu Youyu and the middle-aged man to each other, I learned that the middle-aged man with Kenneth Lai was Ray Dario, a rising financial wizard on Wall Street, who founded the famous Bridgewater investment company.
Many people may be unfamiliar with Bridgewater. The more famous investment company in China is Bridgewater.
Yes, it is the famous bridge water fund in later generations, known as the "world's largest hedge fund company".
……
"Ray, Michelle, didn't they have a roadshow reception in New York before? Why are you here again?" Li Feng asked with a smile.
"Oh, Mr. Li, I didn't participate in the previous New York roadshow, but many Wall Street peers said Michelle's company was good, so I'm going to have a look.
However, Michelle, I'm sorry for my directness. The temporary investment direction of Bridgewater company is mainly formed companies. Like Michelle company, companies with no breakthrough in technology and uncertain business prospects may not be within the scope of our investment.
Mr. Li, since you are talking with Michelle here, it seems that you are interested in Michelle's company? "
The later famous head of the largest hedge fund company and qiaoshui fund replied with a smile.
"Oh, no, I'm just curious. I've never heard of shale gas before. Well, forgive me for my ignorance. I always thought that natural gas and oil were pumped directly from the ground. Only recently did I know that there are such ways as shale gas and oil.
I was curious to see. At least Michelle said very well. As for whether to invest, I don't know. No, Eugene is the one who decides whether to invest. "
Li Feng smiled and joked and pushed Xu Youyu out again. He didn't care too much about raidario.
……
In fact, Li Feng doesn't know the identity of ray Dario here. If he knows that he is the founder of the famous bridge water fund, he may be shocked in his heart.
In his previous life, Li Feng had heard of the name "bridge water fund", but when it comes to Bridgewater, how do you know? Even Li Feng, who is on the famous Forbes list like Lei Dario, has never heard of it.
After all, it's normal for an ordinary Chinese, even such a Wall Street financial giant, to have never heard of it. Besides, even if it is on the Forbes rich list, it is beyond dozens or even hundreds. It is not a person who specializes in Forbes. Where do you know.
However, after all, this is the owner of the world's largest hedge fund. It's only because they are too low-key and Li Feng's ignorance. To say that the owner of hedge fund, the most famous is Soros. The name Li Feng is familiar.
Another point is that today's bridge water fund is not the "world's largest hedge fund" company in the future. Today's bridge water fund has less than 100 employees, and it is just a small company on Wall Street.
