Reborn Capital Empire

Chapter one hundred and seventy-eight

…

Glancing at Guo Shouyun, who was frowning slightly in thought, Stan O'Neill said indifferently, "Now that you know that you can't get what you want from me, do you still count what you said before?"

"Of course!" Guo Shouyun nodded affirmatively, "But now the conditions have to change?"

"Oh?"

Stan O'Neal's eyes flashed.

"I hope Merrill can connect me with a short-term loan!"

"short-term loan?"

"I used the equity of Matrix Group and Guo's Business Group as collateral, and loaned 600 to 800 million US dollars for one year, and the interest did not exceed 8%! As a middleman, Merrill Lynch can draw 1.2% from it as a commission!" After a pause, Guo Shouyun's eyes narrowed, "In exchange, I hope that Mr. O'Neill can use your relationship to provide me with the help within his ability if I am attacked by the non-commercial means of the Enron Interest Alliance. Moreover, I am willing to use Phoenix to short Enron. As a white knight, I will ensure that Mr. O'Neill will crack down on short-sellers and ensure the stability of Enron's stock price as a white knight. For this, I am willing to sign a legally binding contract with Mr. O'Neill!"

Stan O'Neill's eyes flickered, and his eyes were fixed on Guo Shouyun, who was facing him. "Mr. Guo is so sure that Enron will go bankrupt?"

"Yes, I'm pretty sure."

"Can you tell me why?"

"There are many reasons. I believe Mr. Stan O'Neill knows no less than I do."

"Of course I understand Enron's predicament. But I don't think it will bring down an international energy giant, the 27th largest company in the Fortune 500! And, do you know what it would mean for the U.S. economy if Enron went down? "

"Of course I do. Once Enron collapses, the United States will usher in a national energy crisis. But when it is irreversible, the collapse will be inevitable. And, in business history, the last example of a seemingly huge company collapsed. Not many. There are Fairchild, Wang An Computer and Texaco Petroleum in the United States, and Daewoo Group, Barings Bank, etc. abroad." After a pause, Guo Shouyun smiled, "I wonder if Mr. O'Neill would like to make a bet with me? "

"bet?"

"That's right. If Enron ends up going out of business, then I'm willing to lose a bottle of Romanée-Conti to Mr. O'Neill. If I win, how about Mr. Guo give me a shotgun from your collection?"

Guo Shouyun's seemingly joking words loosened the originally tense atmosphere between the two.

Stan O'Neill smiled, "I'd really like Mr. Guo to make this bet!"

"So it's settled then?"

"certainly!"

"I think no matter who wins this bet, Mr. O'Neill should also admit one thing: Enron's stock price is sure to fall. And I can make huge profits from shorting Enron's action is also sure!"

Stan O'Neal nodded.

"In this case, we have a foundation for cooperation! All the previous conditions have been established." Guo Shouyun said solemnly.

Stan O'Neal was silent for a moment before raising his head to examine the calm and confident young man across from him.

"Comparing Mr. Guo's ability with your age, it's really easy to feel emotions and delusions!"

When the words fell, he picked up the phone and pressed it a few times to connect. After a few simple explanations, it didn't take long before he saw the secretary named Jack who had gone out earlier and walked in with the dining cart.

"This is the lunch I ordered ahead of time, I hope it will suit Mr. Guo's appetite."

Guo Shouyun nodded, took a deep look at Stan O'Neal, and then focused on lunch. He understood that although the other party did not give a direct commitment in the end, his intuition told him that the cooperation was basically successful.

Sure enough, after lunch. Stan O'Neill, who used this time to consider the pros and cons, gave a positive answer!

"I will complete the loan that Mr. Guo wants within a month. At the same time, I also hope that the contract for the 'white knight' can be signed after the loan is completed!"

Guo Shouyun got up with excitement in his eyes and stretched out his right hand towards the other party.

"Everything is according to Mr. O'Neill! I wish us a happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"

"Oh, yes! This is my platinum membership card in the private club of 'Cold Mountain Courtyard' in San Francisco. I hope Mr. O'Neill can be a guest there when he comes to San Francisco!"

After taking the silver-white card handed over by Guo Shouyun, he looked at it with great interest, "Can I know if anyone else got this kind of membership card before me?"

"Yes!" Guo Shouyun nodded.

"Who?"

"Mr. Jeff Bezos, Chairman and CEO of Amazon Group!"

"Jeff Bezos?" Nodding clearly, looking at Guo Shouyun who stopped talking, Stan O'Neal said in surprise, "Is it gone?"

Guo Shouyun nodded, "I only intend to invite those top elites who are good enough and respected! Because I always believe that the good and the good are together and sharing their own experiences and ideas with each other can make everyone good. !"

Stan O'Neal's eyes flashed, and he turned his hand to put the card in his pocket.

"It's an honor to be invited by Mr. Guo. If I go to San Francisco next time, I will definitely visit your private club!"

"It's my pleasure!"

Guo Shouyun smiled.

Both of them have the need to expand their social circles, so the exchange has become inevitable.

After having lunch and briefly chatting with Stan O'Neal for a while, Guo Shouyun said goodbye and left. He still has a lot of work to do to deal with the Enron threat.

After returning to the hotel where I stayed, I sorted out my thoughts. After simply eating something to pad his stomach, Guo Shouyun quickly changed into his suit, feeling that it was almost time, he took four bodyguards out of the room. Ever since he sensed the threat of the Enron Alliance, for the sake of his own life, he strengthened the security around him.

The car didn't go fast, but it was smooth. It didn't take long for him to arrive at the White House. To celebrate the birth of a new president, the White House tonight is full of brilliance. After going through a strict inspection and handing over his invitation letter, Guo Shouyun was put in. Of course, his bodyguards were to stay outside. That's okay, though, the White House has tighter security.

Stepping on the red carpet and following the indicated route, Guo Shouyun walked step by step into this center that symbolizes American rights. He has to admit that watching it on TV is a completely different experience than being in it.

After a quick glance at the portraits of past US presidents and first ladies hanging in the White House lobby, Guo Shouyun turned east along the red carpet. At its end is the most luxurious and largest room in the White House, the East Room, where the President entertains VIPs and holds balls. This time, the dinner for President Bush's dinner to entertain guests was also held here.

The moment he walked through the gate and entered the hall, Guo Shouyun finally felt the appearance of a banquet in the upper class of the United States. In the luxurious hall surrounded by ornate carpets, exquisite reliefs, Swarovski crystal chandeliers, and historical oil paintings and ornaments, well-dressed gentlemen and well-dressed ladies and courtesans are in groups, holding wine glasses, Talking to each other according to their respective circles, they are either enthusiastic, or calm, or indifferent, in order to weave their own relationship network and expand their personal connections, showing a well-known, but happening all the time.

Looking around, Guo Shouyun found that he was a little out of tune with this place. Because, he did not find that there are people who he knows or is familiar with. But since he came, he obviously couldn't turn around and leave. Moreover, he also has the need to expand his network.

After beckoning, Guo Shouyun took a glass of brandy from the hand of the approaching waiter, Guo Shouyun found a corner that was not a corner, held his chest in his left hand and the wine glass in his right, and observed silently. Although he couldn't name most of them, this did not prevent him from obtaining the information he needed. After all, if you know a person's network of relationships, you can prepare in advance when you are hostile or make friends.

"one person?"

The familiar voice made Guo Shouyun turn around subconsciously, and when he saw the young man standing behind him with a wine glass, he couldn't help but wonder, "Is it you?"

"Why, is it strange to see me?" George smiled.

Guo Shouyun took a deep look at the guy in front of him who met by chance at the Capitol in the morning and claimed to be the CEO of George's Brokerage Company.

"It's not strange, it's just a bit of an accident!" Guo Shouyun shook his head slightly, his eyes flashed slightly, and then he stretched out his right hand towards the other party, "Let's get to know him formally, my name is Bruce Guo! Businessman and writer!"

"George Solo Roosevelt, Merchant!"

"I didn't expect you to be the queen of the famous family!"

George waved his hand indifferently. "After hundreds of years of reproduction, the Roosevelt family has many descendants. Except for the direct descendants, most of them have made their own way! It's not as mysterious and unattainable as you think!"

Guo Shouyun nodded. Although the other party said so, the names of the four major families in American politics were not blown out. The Adams and Roosevelt families are definitely the oldest political giants in the United States. It is much stronger than the upstarts like the Bush family.

"Look in the middle!"

Guo Shouyun froze for a moment, then subconsciously looked in the direction of George's finger. Soon, in the middle of the banquet hall, five middle-aged or elderly people with different looks and expressions came into his eyes.

In fact, Guo Shouyun had discovered just now that this small group of people was the most eye-catching presence in the entire banquet hall. The crowd around them will pay attention to them subconsciously while communicating.

"You all know each other?"

"How about you?" George asked after nodding.

"I know that the short, bald middle-aged man is Citibank Chairman and CEO Chris Jordan. The tall, gold-rimmed man next to him is Henry Parson, Chairman and CEO of ***** S. As for the remaining three, I don't know each other!"

Noticing Guo Shouyun's eyes~www.wuxiaspot.com~George didn't give a shit, "The guy with the bald head is called Richie Ford, and now he is the first executor of the Ford Family Foundation! The bald dwarf melon standing on his left is called Stephen. Brier, one of the nine federal officers now. The remaining black guy is Colin Luther Powell, the right-hand man of President Bush Jr., and the Secretary of Defense!"

Guo Shouyun's pupils tightened unconsciously. With the left hand holding the wine glass, the meridians on the back of the hand became clear.

"Sure enough, they are all great people!"

"Hey, are you envious?" George asked after looking at him.

Guo Shouyun nodded slightly. Looking at the five people who are like stars holding the moon, he couldn't help but in his mind came up the sentence Liu Bang involuntarily shouted when he saw Qin Shihuang in "Records of the Grand Historian: The Book of Emperor Gaozu": "That's what a man should be!"
