New York.

Upper East Side.

Anthony, former president of California United Petroleum and now president of Chevron Oil in Asia, came to ****.

In the top office of ****.

Anthony talked to the two young men.

"He is only willing to pay $5 to $6 billion! And we also want us to list the assets of Unicorn, if there is no such number, he is even unwilling to acquire it!"

"It's very stubborn. It doesn't seem like you'll compromise easily. Even if the boy from the Adams family is helping me, it's hard to make him retreat!"

"The funds of 8 billion to 10 billion US dollars should not be sold."

"Two Mr. Rockefeller. What do you think? What is the price in Old Mr. Rockefeller's mind?"

“…”

He spoke softly on the two young men opposite him, his words respectfully.

If Winnie was here.

You can recognize the identity of the other person.

Miller Rockefeller!

Hawke Rockefeller!

Hawke was holding his hands in his pockets and watched his brother talk to the old man from the West Coast in boredom.

He was interested in the content of the conversation. But he couldn't even get into it. In his opinion, this was his brother and the old man named Anthony who wanted to throw a piece of Chevron Oil's not-so-good asset to that guy.

Hawke couldn't figure out how the other party was interested.

But after suffering so many losses in a row, Hawke is very happy to see Abel suffer a loss, even a little bit.

He sincerely hopes that his brother will succeed.

Listen to their conversation.

"Is this true? Haha, it seems that Adams has not had a big impact on him in the relationship between Adams and him! Those guys Adams have been trying to interfere in the oil industry for a long time! Now such an opportunity is placed in front of them, even if it is a bone without much flesh. They can be very moved, but now they can't do anything to this kid..."

"I didn't expect that Adams could not fully possess the dominance of the cooperation between the two parties."

Miller Rockefeller said softly.

Anthony was silent.

It plays a good job as a melody. Even if he was really a hero of California United Oil.

"How many real assets does Unicorn have now?"

Miller asked Anthony.

"If you don't count those unexplored plots, the current market value will definitely not exceed US$2 billion!"

Anthony said affirmatively.

"There are still the name of Unicorn, Chevron (Unico), and the signature brand in California and America. There are only two refineries left, as well as a complete set of exploration equipment and personnel, as well as several large oil depots and large transportation companies!"

"The combined value of these is about 2 billion US dollars! In addition, California United Oil still has about 1 million acres of unexplored land around the world..."

"That's all."

After reporting on California United Petroleum’s information, he looked at Miller Rockefeller.

Miller Rockefeller thought for a while, "That little thing is left. That guy is not a fool, how could he be fooled?"

If it were really as Anthony said, only these assets were left. The current Unicorn Petroleum Company could be said to be a shell.

Two refineries.

A complete set of exploration equipment and personnel.

Facilities for oil transportation and oil storage.

Although this large-scale infrastructure is valuable, I think about it with my brain. Miller knows that these things are definitely a long history. Unicorn has acquired Chevron for more than ten years, and the above things are not counted as those explorers.

It is estimated that all of them have been more than 20 years ago. Even if they are now worth 2 billion US dollars.

Including the speed of aging and difficulty of maintenance in the future, it is definitely far from worth the price.

Rockefeller started out with oil. Even though his main business has turned to finance, Miller is still very clear about oil.

"That's how..."

"This is not easy to deal with!"

He said with a headache.

Selling Unicorn is not only the wishes of the Californians within the United company, but also the wishes of Chevron Oil Company.

It just happened to catch this opportunity.

Miller was just preparing to have a small trick from Abel, and he could sell a little more.

Seeing this, Hawke interrupted: "Didn't he bid 5 billion US dollars?! Since those assets are only worth 2 billion US dollars, the unexplored plots cannot add up to 3 billion US dollars, right? Then we can sell them to him 5 billion US dollars!"

Like Miller, as a child of the Rockefeller family, even if he does not concentrate on the oil industry, he still knows a lot about the industry's deep thoughts.

Oil plots.

To put it bluntly, some governments think that there may be oil here, so they take out the exploration rights of the oil under these plots and auction it at the auction.

Then those companies got it.

Go to explore it yourself.

If oil is really found, it will be developed. If there is no oil below, it will be unlucky. And the right to use these lands will be automatically returned to the government.

It's a bit like gambling stones.

Generally, unless you are sure that there is really oil plots below, the price will be extremely high. Then a bunch of oil companies come to auction, and whoever grabs them will be whoever gets them will be.

In addition to this kind of oil, there is also a lot of land that has no effect. The governments of those countries are not sure whether there is oil. If they really lack money, they will also be auctioned.

All that is sold is the right to exploit and exploration of oil. Even if the land you bought has been using can only be used in these two aspects.

The price is cheap.

Most of the 1 million acres of land held by Unicorn are this.

It is precisely because of this.

Although the land of more than 1 million acres is nominally owned by Unico Petroleum. If the following confirms that there is no oil, then the land will have nothing to do with Unico.

It is precisely because of this.

Even though there are the world's top ten exploration teams, in uncertainty and under sufficient funds, Unicorn Petroleum has not taken action on these plots.

Those large oil companies have many such lands. However, this policy is not available all over the world. At least in some countries with state-owned land, there is no such policy.

There is no such thing as China.

China's land policy is that land is owned by the state, and the land owner only has the right to use the ground. What is contained under the ground? Everything belongs to the state.

Because of this.

Is this 1 million acre land parcel of Unico Petroleum worth 3 billion US dollars?

This is really hard to explain.

If one or two oil fields appear in these 1 million acres, it would not be the value, but the opportunity is slim.

If it really does.

Unico Oil would not have fallen to the point of selling itself to Chevron Oil.

And if nothing is there.

Then these plots are worthless because, except for part of the mining rights and exploration rights, most of their ownership will not belong to Unico Petroleum.

That's exactly what Hawke said.

If there is an oil field, even a small piece of Unicorn oil will be a loss if it sells 10 billion US dollars.

If there was no oil.

That 5 billion US dollars is a big profit.

This is really a headache.
