***********
I have known for a long time that this negotiation is not easy to negotiate, especially when Heidi appears. If someone else comes to negotiate with me, I can still use my momentum or some other resources to lower the price with the other party, but now I am sitting here. On the opposite side is Heidi, and the price is not so easy to push down.
Heidi had been paying attention to Kevin's expression. When she saw a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, she knew that this transaction was likely to be successful.
Kevin didn¡¯t deny it, because he really couldn¡¯t deny it. The current oil world is like this. As long as you have good oil fields, you have the initiative, especially when it comes to acquisitions.
Since the Red Shield family lost the Baku Oil Field, they have never really controlled other oil companies or oil fields. Today, when oil prices are about to skyrocket, this Dirham Oil Company, to them, is A rare and rare breakthrough that cannot be missed.
Because for them, controlling the oil fields is the key to controlling Australia.
After World War II, Britain's influence on Australia has gradually weakened a lot. The power of American capital is gradually increasing its influence in this country, and this is not what the Rothschild family wants to see.
After all, in their eyes, Morgan and his gang were just domestic slaves and had already taken control of the United States. If they take control of Australia again. That world. Is there still a place for their Red Shield family to gain a foothold?
Although Jewish families have always valued peace and like to stick together, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. This sentence is also an eternal truth. They definitely do not want to be suppressed by the American upstarts like Morgan forever.
As one of the world's top families who started their fortunes in finance, the Rothschild family's judgment on the future trend of the world economy is unquestionable. They have made a judgment long ago that international oil prices will definitely not drop in the next few years or even more than ten years.
Because this is related to the domestic economic environment of the United States. On the one hand, they need to export domestic inflation through US dollars. On the other hand, they need to push up oil prices to kill the rising Chinese people.
So no matter what, the price of oil will definitely rise rather than fall in the future.
And what they know, Heidi will definitely know, so Heidi¡¯s share price for Dirham Petroleum Company exceeds 10 billion US dollars. It doesn't seem like an exaggeration now.
And this is one of the main reasons why Kevin hates bargaining with people like Heidi, because if he is negotiating business with other people. He can completely use his power to force the other party to negotiate at the current price.
And Heidi and the others will take into account the future growth space of this company. This is the difference between negotiating with guys on asymmetric platforms and negotiating with equal opponents.
There is no way you can take advantage of an opponent of the same weight class as you, but is Heidi really an opponent of the same class as him?
Heidi may think that they are on the same level, but Kevin will definitely not admit it. In his eyes, Heidi can only be regarded as difficult at best, but there is still a long way to go before she is on the same level as him. Let's go.
"Ten billion? This price, Miss Heidi, don't you think it's a bit too high?"
"Oh? What do you think?"
Although he knew that Heidi was unlikely to let go, Kevin decided to try harder. As expected, the results were not very optimistic. Heidi's response to this trial was very firm.
"Heidi, do you think this price is appropriate? If you really want 10 billion, then we don't want this company, but you don't have to think about it. I think you should know the influence of BHP Billiton in Australia. of."
Since the negotiation cannot be reached, it is time to threaten to go into battle. Anyway, this is what the Rothschilds are very good at doing.
That is to say, the power of the Rothschild family is too weak now. If you dared not give it a hundred years ago, the Rothschild family would even dare to start a war with you directly.
The several wars fought between Britain and the United States were instigated by the Rothschild family. They even incited the British army to burn down the White House at that time. This shows the strong tactics of this family.
Although the family is weakened now, Rothschild¡¯s influence is stillNow, their threats are still very intimidating, and most people can only end with compromise in response to their threats.
Even Heidi, if she were a member of the Rothschild family and threatened him like this, she would have to think twice.
"Kevin, if you are like this, I think there is no need to continue our negotiations. I admit that BHP Billiton's influence in Australia is undoubted, but don't forget, the worst we can do is not play anymore. , there are many big companies in the world who will be interested in this oil field."
Heidi did not take a strong direct response to Kevin's threat because she knew Kevin's character. In that case, it would only make the subsequent negotiations worse.
But she has countless ways to deal with a naked threat like Kevin.
Sure enough, after hearing what Heidi said, Kevin couldn't help but change his face. Indeed, if the oil company was in Heidi's hands, they could indeed threaten Heidi directly.
After all, although Heidi is from a long-established European aristocracy and has a lot of resources and strength behind her, she is still too weak compared to the Rothschild family.
And even if there are others who support Heidi, those people will think twice after hearing the names of the Rothschilds.
But if Heidi introduces other oil giants into this competition. . .
"Oh? I would like to see who you can bring in? For BP, we are already shareholders. Although we are not the major shareholders, I think in that company, our speech will still be valued. As for Royal Shell , it¡¯s the same, we have our agents everywhere. As for the giants in the United States, they are all busy in the Middle East now. It is estimated that no one is willing to pay attention to you at this time, so who can you find to help? "
Kevin did not give up and still issued a strong threat.
It is true that the Rothschild family currently does not have a large oil field in their hands, but this does not mean that they have completely withdrawn from the oil industry.
The famous BP, as well as old European oil companies such as Royal Shell, all have shares. However, such companies are too large and the shares are too dispersed. Therefore, although they are the major shareholders of the company, the equity they hold is not It's only about 12%, but with their family's reputation, they can still have considerable influence on such a company.
And now in Australia, there are only a few industry giants who have the strength to cooperate with Heidi, or acquire, or cooperate with her to keep the Dirham Oil Company.
Exxon-Mobil in the United States, Chevron, Texaco, BP, Royal Shell, etc. He really couldn¡¯t think of any other oil companies that dared to come to Australia. Come and compete with BHP Billiton.
Now, the oil companies in the United States are busy laying oil pipelines in Iraq and have no time to care about them. However, BP and Royal Shell, as long as they say hello, they will not come to help Heidi.
Then what is he afraid of? In fact, he came to the meeting alone today, not without any preparation. He had prepared several plans.
¡°One way is for everyone to negotiate, he proposes a price, and Heidi has to agree even if she doesn¡¯t agree.
The other way is to break the relationship and threaten to go into battle. In the end, he will be the one to set the price. In the end, Heidi has to agree even if she disagrees.
Because he had already realized that Heidi¡¯s resources and the strength behind her were not as strong as those of the Rothschild family. This was to use force to overwhelm others.
If Heidi was really suppressed by him, then he would have succeeded in today's negotiation. Unfortunately, his calculation did not seem to achieve the desired result. Not only was Heidi not nervous at all, but he even smiled slightly.
"Yes! It is indeed impossible for BP and Royal Shell to come to help me, and it is indeed impossible for Mobil, Chevron, and Texaco to come over. But don't forget, we turn the globe around, and in East Asia There is a magical country on the top of the continent, and now they are also in a state of extreme thirst for oil. By the way, have you heard of Huaguo Petroleum? I heard that they are now searching and developing their country's unexpected oil all over the world. As for the oil-producing oil fields, what do you think would happen if we invited them to participate in this business negotiation? Presumably, their leaders will be quite interested in such an oil company. Oops, BHP Billiton¡¯s interest in Australia The influence is indeed not small, but I don¡¯t know if Australia will go to war with China over such an oil company? I think it should be more than"
"you"
Heidi spokeThere was a hint of sarcasm in the corner of his mouth, and Kevin's expression kept changing. When he heard Heidi's more blatant sarcasm at the end, Kevin was so angry that he almost stood up.
However, this scene of his ferocious appearance made the elegant and noble temperament he had been able to maintain before immediately lose all color, and his true face was exposed immediately.
¡°Asshole, why did you forget those damn guys? When Kevin thought of a behemoth like Huaguo Petroleum, he immediately felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
