three days.
This is the period when I ignored Lionel’s contact and stalked me.
The reason it was difficult to avoid it was because he personally came to the P&B Tower as a result of his intentions.
So I just can’t push it.
“It’s hard to see your face, Mr. Jean.”
At Lionel’s words, I responded with as much help as possible.
“Yes, these days, there are a lot of people who want to see my face. I’m busy, so can you briefly tell me about things?”
Lionel’s eyebrows twitch as he gestures as he glances at the clock.
Even so, I don’t know what the heck I’m trying to say.
“First of all, congratulations on the listing. Another Australian company appeared in the global mining industry, so I couldn’t be more confident.”
“Is that so? Yes, we have Lao Tinto, too, so it’s reassuring. Thanks to him, we got the right to develop the Ilka region and the Gruyere gold mine.”
“Ha, ha ha… it was. I think it was a good deal.”
That’s a fucking face
Isn’t it a stomach ache?
“By the way, you didn’t come just to say congratulations, what did you come here for?”
“I’m here because I have a question for you.”
“……?”
“I heard rumors that Mr. Jean immigrated to Australia last year. How do you know the president of Bearfax?”
“Why are you curious about that?”
“It’s just curiosity. But depending on the recipient, curiosity may be questionable.”
“Are you suspicious?”
“The stake structure of All Mining. You are 7 and Barefax is 3. It is based on the development rights obtained from the big deal between Bearfax and Jencock, but Bearfax is 3. Isn’t it strange?”
I answered, straightening myself on the back of the sofa.
“It’s not strange at all. Looking at the results of All Mining now, who would bet on it?”
“Ah, I’m talking about the past, not now. Back when All Mining was founded.”
As my tone rose, Lionel continued with an open palm as if to calm down.
“The history of All Mining is only two years, but the results are so great that people don’t pay much attention to the past. But if someone finds out, especially in the political world, wouldn’t you be suspicious? For example, if the real owner of your stake is Henry Bear Fax or…”
“……!”
what kind of bullshit are you talking about
Are you going to accuse Henry of embezzling the group’s assets under a borrowed name?
“Hahaha, looking at your expression, it seems that my hypothesis is correct.”
Eh? What do you say and make your own decisions?
“Mr. Jean, I’ll make a good suggestion, will you listen?”
“Good… a suggestion?”
“It’s a suggestion that all-mining can really be yours if you put your mind to it.”
what kind of bullshit
“Business isn’t all about papers and numbers. Whatever the facts behind the veil, the moment you sign it, the contract goes into effect.”
Ah, so I know that the stake I have belongs to Henry, and even though I am a scarecrow, I have the right to make a contract.
Will you use me?
If that’s the case, I’ll have to hit it again.
“Are you telling me to betray Chairman Bearfax now?
“We, Rao Tinto, will prevent Henry Bearfax’s retaliation. So take my hand. Then I will make you a real major shareholder of All Mining.”
“Hmm…”
To cook delicious rice, you need to steam it.
There is no such thing as ‘hmm’ for that.
“What do you have to worry about? If you’re thinking of playing the role of Henry Bearfax’s scarecrow, I won’t recommend it any more, so make your decision carefully.”
“Mr. Thompson, frankly it’s tempting, but there’s a problem.”
“……?”
“When we went public, we placed restrictions on the sale of the majority shareholder, the Chairman of Bearfax.”
“Hmm, the old fox put the player ahead of time.”
“Yeah, so why don’t you try something else?”
“Another way?”
“Didn’t the circulating stock not go on the market during the listing? As a result, the proportion of my stake decreased to about 18% and that of Bearfax to about 9%. And if I get into the president’s ears, I’m going to defend the stock price right away. But I’m different.”
“Perhaps?”
“Yeah, I’ll make it look like a stock buyback and buy the stock in my family’s name. Then no one will ever suspect it. They’ll think of it as yours too.”
Lionel nodded in agreement.
“It’s a good way. If you secure up to 30%, I’ll take care of convincing institutional investors.”
“Hmm, but as you know, I don’t have enough money. If I wanted to secure 12% of the all-mining market cap, it would be about $2 billion…”
“Don’t worry, I’ll support that much money.”
“Is that true?”
“However, if you secure management rights, All Mining will become an affiliate of Rao Tinto. How about it?”
“Haha, you mean this?”
Lionel looked at me like that and held out his hand.
“Let’s do well in the future, Mr. Jean.”
“I wish you well.”
Contrary to my arrogant attitude, I wrapped my arms around him and bent over.
That’ll make you look stupid.
I can go to the Cannes Film Festival, now.
***
Lionel started sending money in multiples, not just once.
It is said that $2 billion was a lot of money, so it was difficult to understand the flow of money from the outside.
In other words, I thought that Lionel also secured funds through his own hidden funds or other routes, rather than Rao Tinto’s funds.
I recovered the circulating stocks that were released on the market and raised the stake again.
In the meantime, the time came to proceed with the competitive bidding that I had discussed with DHP CEO Billion Patrick.
Arkaringa Bayon A-G1 area contract.
The news spread slowly through the industry, and as expected, Lionel was the first to reach out.
“Look at this, Edward. If there is such a thing, you should have discussed it with me first. Why are you spreading rumors without saying a word?”
When I started sending money, I was treated like a subordinate, and now I’m just leaving.
what good
I can’t wait until I hit 2 billion dollars.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Thompson. The executives went their own way and I couldn’t stop it.”
“Is that girl Jacqueline Berry again?”
“……yes.”
“Wow, then Henry Bearfax must have ordered it. But after hearing the rumors, DHP Billion moved to get it, is it true?”
“Yeah, I heard you met Miss Berry a few days ago.”
“You weren’t there?”
“……”
“Whoa, that’s fine. What am I expecting? But that’s Area A-G1, are you sure?”
“I checked with the technical team and they were told it was around 200 million barrels.”
it won’t happen
But pumping up oil would be terribly difficult.
Because it is the most difficult area.
“Any other plans?”
“Yes, they say that they will start there first and proceed with further development. They say they will decide internally by looking at the US shale oil production trend.”
“It’s just that the US starts production in earnest, so they’re going to look at the international oil price.”
“you’re right.”
“Okay. Call me right away if you have more information. We’ll look into it.”
“Yes, come in.”
After hanging up the phone, I frowned and sighed.
‘Damn it, it’s like going back to working life.’
I don’t even want to remember the days when I used to eat feed.
What is his two billion dollars…
***
“What do you say?”
In response to Daniel’s question, Lionel nodded his head.
“Like you said, Arcaringa oil field development is about to start, by way of a contract.”
“We have to get it.”
“I know, I know it’s shale oil. You have to approach it with caution.”
“DHP Billion has already started contacting you. If you are careful, you may lose your contract.”
It was Lionel, who also had a competitive spirit that was not present when DHP Billion was involved.
Daniel knew that, so he mentioned Patrick Trevor’s name and stimulated him again and again.
“But why are you so active as the head of the Western branch? Even if you win this contract, it will be a project for the Southern branch.”
“If you sign a contract, you’ll be the first to apply the Denver technology I’ve acquired.”
“Is that really all?”
Daniel stole his dry lips once with his tongue before answering.
“Mr. Thompson, Isaac.”
“Why are you talking about that again? Are you going to continue to annoy people with things that are over?”
“I’m going to ask Isaac to admit his mistake.”
“What?”
“Can’t you give me a chance to start all over again instead?”
“From the beginning? Maybe from the junior staff?”
“Yes, and if possible, please put it in Arcaringa oil field development. Isaac was the first to learn Denver technology and studied it for a long time, so he is probably the most suitable engineer among Rao Tinto’s engineers.”
“You’re very stubborn, too. Why? If you do well in the field development, will you bring Isaac back to work?”
“Please, just give me one chance. Please.”
Watching Daniel bow deeply, Lionel grinned.
Then he tapped his shoulder.
“Straighten your back, I’m not going to give you a chance or not until you sign a contract.”
At Lionel’s words, Daniel bowed his head and grinned.
‘It’s over.’
***
The day of the bidding for the Arcaringa Basin oil field contract.
The company that attended the event became a competition between DHP Billion and Rao Tinto.
It was a natural step, as companies competing for the world’s first and second positions beyond the Australian mining industry jumped in.
“Are you really bidding with this amount?”
At Lionel’s question, I put my finger to my lips and said.
“Shh! Keep your voice down. If someone hears it, you’re in trouble.”
“Hmm.”
“This was overheard Miss Berry’s phone call with the Chairman of Bearfax. There was also talk of the name Patrick Trevor, the amount, and the margin.”
“Actually, this is a bit excessive at the current oil price. 200 million barrels of 3 billion dollars. It’s an unthinkable amount other than a 100 million barrels.”
“It’s $2.995 billion to be exact. So if Mr. Thompson bids exactly $3 billion, you’ll win the contract by $5 million.”
I smiled and spread my palms out wide.
“Five million dollars?”
“Yeah, think about it. How would President Patrick know he didn’t win the bid by a difference of $5 million?”
“👑👑👑”
is it that good
Very tearful, tearing apart.
“Mr. Thompson, I think I’ll have to go. I can’t be away for too long.”
I glanced at the clock and said.
Then he frowned as he covered my watch with his hand.
“I said? Don’t look at the clock in front of me.”
Ha, you little bastard.
Are you still stuck because of that back then?
“I’m sorry. It’s a habit…”
“Fix that, okay?”
Foreign countries are no different.
Kkondae is everywhere, not just in Korea.
“Yeah, Mr. Thompson.”
I immediately took off my watch and put it in my jacket pocket.
Isn’t this another Korean Abu?
“Yeah, that’s why I like you, Edward.”
it works too
If you work in Korea for 2 years, you are a master of oojjju.
“I’ll do my best!”
