v3 Chapter 922： Mellon family

/

"Mr. Xia, I have heard of Polaris Capital. It has been established for a short time, but the investment has always been amazing. Those who can become the chairman of this level of company are basically financial elites over the age of fifty."

"But if you attribute your strength to luck, then I would rather believe that you are the illegitimate child of God."

Although Bush Jr. spoke in a joke, his tone was so solemn.

After speaking, he asked again: "Mr. Xia, take the liberty to ask, you should be less than twenty years old this year?"

Xia Yu smiled and shook his head: "Not yet."

"Then you should not have gone to college."

"Yes, family conditions are difficult, so we can only get out of society early and work hard."

"Then you are a genius among geniuses. Your experience and achievements are admirable. When I was your age, I would only hang around in college and fall in love. I suddenly felt very ashamed."

……

The future President Bush Jr. is famous for his humor, but in fact, at this age, he is already so.

Both seem to be familiar with each other. Bush speaks witty and humorous. Xia Yu can see people and talk, **** and hell, and the two talked a lot before they knew it.

"Cheers to our knowledge!"

"It should be so!"

"哐!"

"Hahahaha..."

After clinking glasses and drinking, the two looked at each other and smiled, and the relationship got closer.

Both of them leaned on the sofa casually, looking at the men and women dancing in the center of the dance floor with an admiring attitude and posture.

Of course, to be more precise, you should appreciate those beautiful ladies.

According to social research in later generations, two men get together, no matter where the topic starts, 90% will talk about women...

Xia Yu still wanted to cooperate with Bush Jr.

So he provoked the topic again: "Mr. Bush, now the global oil price is skyrocketing, you have an oil company, this is your feast."

"Oil is the blood of industry after all, and now that the price of oil is so high, I want to enter the oil field when I want to try. If I have the opportunity, can I visit your company?"

When Bush Jr. heard the previous sentence, he still wanted to brag, but when Xia Yu came out, he swallowed what he was about to say in embarrassment.

He knows exactly what is going on with his Bush Energy Company. Just looking at the business card, he will definitely think it is taller, but it's just a feather.

If Xia Yuzhen went to visit, the bigger he is now, the more embarrassing he will be in the future.

Therefore, he turned his mind and shrugged his shoulders happily, and said to himself: "It is indeed a feast for oil practitioners, but unfortunately, I am not qualified to participate. My company has been exploring for oil and gas in Texas. Natural gas, but unfortunately, no oil has been explored so far."

"Texas is the most oil-rich state in the United States. I believe that as long as it is willing to invest, oil will always be explored."

Xia Yu said with a smile.

Bush smiled a bit bitterly, and smiled reluctantly: "Maybe, who will say it in the future, oil exploration is too lucky."

When his father was exploring oil in Midland, Texas, the probability of finding oil was 137 to 1. This is still very fortunate. It is called "a hundred shots and a hundred hits", and it is still two. More than ten years ago!

As for his Bush Energy Company, without counting the idle year in 1978, in the two years from 1979 to the present, more than 300 plots of land have been explored, which has spent two of the three million dollars that the company was founded. More than 1.8 million, and no oil field has been explored so far, which is incomparable to his father Bush Sr.

Now the company is spending money every day of its operation. If no more oil is discovered, then his Bush Energy Company will go bankrupt!

He is embarrassed now facing those shareholders and his uncle Jonathan Bush.

After all, after he graduated from Harvard Business School and got an MBA, it was his uncle Jonathan Bush who brought in more than 20 shareholders for his Bush Energy Company. The total shareholder investment reached three million US dollars. None of the cents of profits were made, which is simply a shame to the Bush family.

Unless he explored a valuable dough stick before the company went bankrupt.

Otherwise, he will have to find a way to continue to invest in his Bush Energy Company. No matter what, he will not let the Bush Energy Company go bankrupt, and the Bush family cannot shame this face!

"Oil exploration is indeed very important. After all, it has been more than a hundred years since the discovery of oil in Texas. People have been exploring for oil in Texas and have basically been explored. Now the difficulty of exploration Too high, the success rate is too low!"

"But as long as you buy the latest exploration machines and invest in exploration, you will always find oil."

After Xia Yu sighed, she said encouragingly.

Although it was an encouraging word, Bush was even more uncomfortable in his ears.

Xia Yu is easy to say, but the most important thing is that there is no money to continue gambling!

At this moment, Xia Yu suddenly asked with interest: "Mr. Bush, I just want to get into the oil industry. I wonder if your company is willing to accept new shareholders?"

Bush was taken aback, then nodded without hesitation: "Of course welcome, Mr. Xia, would you like to invest in my company?"

"Of course, I don't know how big your company is?" Xia Yu nodded surely.

Bush Jr. weighed it in his mind for a moment and said: "Although my company has not yet discovered oil, it has leased a lot of land and other assets. I quoted it currently worth about 8 million US dollars."

For this price, Xia Yu knew that Bush had made a false report, but he didn't care. It was nothing more than an overstatement of one or two million dollars, which was a small amount to him.

Being able to invest in Bush Jr. to create a relationship between the two is the biggest gain!

He asked directly: "Since you say it is worth eight million dollars, then it is worth eight million dollars. Just don't know how much equity can be given out?"

Xia Yu's trust made Bush a little surprised, but also warmed his heart.

He thought for a while and said: "At least 10%, if more, I have to discuss with other shareholders before there is a result."

Xia Yu frowned, and said disgustedly: "Ten percent is too little and boring."

He immediately asked again: "By the way, Mr. Bush, I don't know how many shareholders your company currently has?"

Bush Jr. said truthfully: "Twenty-four shareholders."

Xia Yu raised his brows and pretended to be surprised and said, "So many?"

"Then I don't know if any shareholders are willing to transfer their equity? I want to buy their equity!"

Bush Jr. felt a little eager in his heart. Of course he knew that most of the shareholders were not interested in his equity in the Bush Energy Company. Now he is unwilling to withdraw voluntarily because of the face of the Bush family.

And because the investment funds are relatively small, generally in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, the money is not much for the big guys.

He estimated that by this time, many people are ready to fight.

If he is willing to help Xia Yu buy, I believe many shareholders will gladly accept it.

He thought for a while, and said in appropriate words: "I'm not sure now, I have to ask them to find out."

"I don't know how much equity do you hope to get, Mr. Xia?"

Xia Yu immediately replied: "At least 45%. If all shareholders are willing to transfer, it is best to reach 50%. We are half of us. What do you think?"

"Mr. Xia is so optimistic about my company?"

Bush asked in surprise.

In Texas, there are not too many oil companies like him that have not yet produced results. Oil exploration is a very risky gambling, so as long as there is no oil field, no amount of equity is required. Value, on the contrary, represents the need to invest more money.

Many people will not invest money in an oil exploration company.

If an old cowboy who explores oil in Texas is given one million dollars, he will invest at least ten hundred thousand dollars in ten promising oil exploration companies, or even spread it out to specific exploration projects. Not to invest in one company.

Although this method of diversification of investment does not guarantee super wealth overnight, it can greatly increase the probability of success, allow one's investment to appreciate, have more money to roll, and accumulate wealth step by step.

Now... After all, it is not the era when oil was released from a single drill more than a hundred years ago!

"Of course, I think you are more likely to succeed than others! I believe in your luck too!"

Xia Yu said with a smile.

Bush Jr. was silent, and even more inclined to think that Xia Yu wanted to cooperate with the Bush family through him. He encountered many situations like this.

However, he really has no reason to refuse Xia Yu's request to send money to his door. He needs funds too much!

Therefore, he smiled and said, "Thank you for your blessings, Mr. Xia, I still need you to wait for my news. I will call you when the time comes.

"no problem!"

"But it must be as soon as possible. I plan to leave the United States in early February. I don't know how many months I will have to wait before returning."

"Okay, I will as soon as possible."

Speaking of this, there is no need to say more. Xia Yu once again toasted with Bush and had some wine, looking forward to future cooperation.

"Mr. Xia, my wife beckoned to me. Let me do some dances first."

"Ok!"

After watching Bush enter the dance floor, Xia Yu looked around boredly and found that the surrounding area was relatively empty. Obviously, he was talking to Bush just now, and the people around him sat far away politely so as not to disturb them.

At this moment, he found that someone was walking like himself, and not one, but five, two men and three women.

Xia Yu recognized the two men and one woman among them, and he came in with Richard King Mellon just now, maybe they were Richard King Mellon’s children.

As for the other two young ladies, he did not recognize them.

When 　　 walked to Xia Yu's place, one of the young people who looked older said hello to Xia Yu, and then five people sat down one after another.

"Can you meet me? This is Leonard Mellon. Here is my business card."

Hearing his name, Xia Yu immediately remembered that this young man in his twenties was the third son of Richard King Mellon.

"Of course, my name is Xia Yu, this is my business card."

Xia Yu said with a smile, and exchanged business cards with him.

After he started, the other three women and one man also talked with him amicably. Xia Yu also gave business cards and learned the identity of each other from their names.

One of the boys, who is obviously about 18 or 9 years old, is Woodlaw Mellon, Ronald Mellon’s own brother, and Richard King Mellon’s fourth son.

According to the memory of his previous life, Xia Yu knows a lot about the Mellon family. The current head Richard King Mellon has eight children, four sons and four daughters.

Among them, the eldest son Richard Mellon Skeff, who does not like family business at all, is not interested in rights, and likes art and charity. Richard King Mellon is very disappointed.

The second son, Timothy Mellon, was passionate about computer technology and went to create a computer company by himself. He was obviously not a qualified heir to the family, and he was disappointed by Richard King Mellon.

On the contrary, it was the third son Leonard Mellon and the fourth son Woodrow Mellon deeply accepting the love of Chad King Mellon, because these two sons were very smart and worked very hard. They were determined to grow the family since childhood. Is very interested in his career.

But these two sons are both old and good. In the previous life, when Richard King Mellon passed away, these two sons were too young to be qualified for the next generation.

The head of Richard King Mellon comes from his uncle Andrew Mellon, because his cousin Paul Mellon also dislikes full power and is keen on horse racing and art. .

Paul Mellon doesn't like it, doesn't mean his sons don't like it.

When Richard King Mellon was still there, Paul Mellon’s sons were afraid to put a fart.

But when Richard King Mellon passed away, his son had not been able to successfully become a qualified head, and the Mellon family eventually became loose.

is to benefit from family trusts and charitable funds, so as not to split the Mellon family and allow the Mellon consortium to continue to exist.

But the Mellon family lacks a head, and the Mellon consortium with the Mellon family as the sole core naturally lacks people who can make a decision.

Therefore, since the death of Richard King Mellon, even though Leonard Mellon and Woodrow Mellon worked very hard, they could only maintain the Mellon Consortium not disintegrating, but the influence and strength of the Mellon Consortium continued. taken over.

Except for Xia Yu’s special enchantment, where is the little fox the old fox’s opponent!

From this we can see how important is for the cultivation of offspring. It takes at least 20 years to cultivate a offspring!

Get back to the subject.

Among the five people, in addition to the two brothers Leonard Mellon and Woodlow Mellon, one of them is Sandy Mellon. Xia Yu is estimated to be around twenty years old, and is the youngest of Richard King Mellon. His daughter is older than Leonard Mellon and younger than Woodrow Mellon.

As for the other two girls, named Susan Anthony and Renee Camilla, they are both about 20 years old. In terms of words and deeds, they are completely in line with the temperament of the descendants of the big family.

"Mr. Xia, I saw you chatting with my father and Mr. David Rockefeller just now. I really admire you."

Leonard Mellon has a high level of self-cultivation, looks at Xia Yu sincerely, and says with admiration.

His words caught the attention of the other four people, especially when the three beautiful girls all looked at him with curious eyes. If they were ordinary people, Xia Yu would barely keep his heartbeat faster.

With a smile on his mouth, he asked, "Why do you say that?"

Leonard Mellon said immediately: "Even if I face my father, I am very uncomfortable. If I face Mr. Rockefeller and Mr. DuPont, I don't know what to say, but you can talk to them and laugh, I If you want to have your level of performance, I don’t know how many years to exercise."
