Chapter 419 TEP Chairman James

When Xu Fei, Xiao Bu, and Wall Street financial tycoons were singing and dancing in Houston to celebrate the success of the first phase of cooperation.

Boston, North Sound.

The large-scale invasion of the microbial army has prompted many North American rich people to move here. There used to be only an abandoned steel factory in the wilderness, but now under the influence of massive capital, it surpasses Daze in terms of scale and construction level.

Industrial areas, storage areas, business areas, residential areas, commercial streets, arsenals, sports centers, top villas...

On the easternmost side of the Beibu Gulf, near the bay, there is an isolated island surrounded by mountains and rivers.

Beyond the isolated island, warships cruise.

Inside the isolated island, the guards are heavily guarded.

If you look closely, you can vaguely see rows of phased array radars, anti-aircraft artillery, and anti-aircraft rocket launchers.

At this moment, in the luxury villa in the central area of ​​the isolated island.

The third-generation heir of the Rockefeller family, that is, David Rockefeller, who has changed six hearts, is chatting with TEP founder Strauss and TEP chairman James.

After three years, Rockefeller had no doubts about TEP.

Because in the past three years, the Rockefeller consortium and TEP have completed a 'capital swap'.

For example, Exxon Mobil, the world's largest oil and gas company, took out 11% of the shares and handed them over to Strauss, and Strauss handed over 23% of the shares in TEP Motors to Rockefeller.

For example, Chevron, the world's largest energy company, took out 17% of the shares and handed them over to Strauss, and Strauss handed over 8% of the shares of the North American Tower Company to Rockefeller.

For example, North American defense contractors-Martin, Grumman, Lockheed, Douglas, House Electric, etc., respectively took out 5%~30% of the shares and handed them over to Strauss, who then transferred them to Strauss. 30% of the joint defense shares, handed over to Rockefeller.

For example, Citibank offered 5% of the shares in exchange for 2% of the shares in the international supply and marketing system controlled by TEP.

For another example, Rockefeller took the shares of United World Airlines, North American Airlines, Trans World Airlines, Eastern Airlines and other companies in exchange for shares of United Express.

Other share swaps also include mining, metallurgy, chemistry, rubber, food, and telecommunications.

It can be said that there is you in me, and there is me in you. The two sides are as close as brothers regardless of each other.

But the capital world advocates the law of the forest and plays 'big fish eat small fish'.

Rockefeller's real goal was to swallow up TEP within five years, list it as a family property, and sink Strauss into the sea to feed the fish.

However, the sudden appearance of the 'oil tyrant' disrupted all plans.

20ml原油基+1L原油+10L或20L纯净水，就可以得到10L或20L原油。

As the saying goes, to look at the problem depends on the essence.

This does not mean that the world's crude oil production has doubled by 10 or 20 times.

Rather, it means that technological creations have replaced crude oil in the energy sequence.

Because technology will develop, crude oil will not.

Just like integrated circuits, from 80mm process technology, to 500nm, to 380nm, to 120nm, and then to 90nm this year, it has been improving.

No one can guarantee that after three to five years, 20ml of crude oil base + 1L of crude oil can create more crude oil, or even cultivate tons of crude oil.

In this way, the total assets of Mobil, Chevron, and TEP, which hold a large amount of crude oil but have not followed the automakers to sell crude oil, will shrink significantly.

For example, in the past, a barrel of crude oil was 1 US dollars, and Mobil had assets of 286 US dollars.

Even if the stock plummets, but the market demand remains unchanged, the value of crude oil spot will not change, and Mobil's stock has always been stable.

However, after the emergence of the "oil tyrant", the market will soon usher in an oversupply, and the value of spot crude oil will naturally collapse.

At that time, a barrel of crude oil was 1 dollars, and the assets of Mobil plummeted from 20 to 286 dollars in an instant.

That's equivalent to losing $266 at one time.

This amount of money does not seem to be much, but when the base is enlarged, multiplied by 10 billion, multiplied by tens of billions, and the company's stock evaporates, Mobil, Chevron, and TEP Energy have only one choice in the end, which is to file for bankruptcy.

Three nearly trillion-level enterprises, just say that if they disappear, they will disappear.

Rockefeller must not be reconciled, so he invited Strauss and James to discuss the countermeasures of the oil faction.

In fact, the relationship between the Petroleum faction and the Morgan faction is quite ambiguous, otherwise they would not have supported Xiao Bu to come to power.

However, in the past two years, North America has fought Iraq Krypton, Afghanistan, Libya, and so on, but they have never been able to steal oil, making Rockefeller gradually lose patience.

In other words, supporting Xiaobu to come to power is equivalent to an investment, and I can't recover the cost, so why should I support you?

So the oil faction began to plan Kling's return to the White House.

However, in the capital world, family relations are a very complicated product.

Logically speaking, the Rothschild family, which has always been at odds with JP Morgan and is also Jewish, should support Kling together with Rockefeller and squeeze out Xiaobu.

However, Kling first threatened Goldman Sachs Group to hand over the shares it held in Oriental Enterprises, and then threatened Blackstone Group to ask the other party to also hand over the shares it held in Oriental Enterprises. This is equivalent to offending the Rothschild family.

Immediately afterwards, James, the chairman of TEP, married the third granddaughter of the late Marcus patriarch, and joined the Oriental Goldman Sachs Group, which was tantamount to fighting for power with the Rothschild family.

In this way, it became normal for the Rothschild family to guard against the oil faction and collude with Xiao Bu, who is engaged in military and industrial industries.

Therefore, the capital situation in North America has become inexplicably: JP Morgan + Rothschild + Debei Capital VS Rockefeller.

The consequence is naturally that the dog dealers signed a cooperation agreement with Wall Street. The former wants foreign trade, while the latter wants finance.

As for the life and death of the oil faction...

The capitalist world advocates the law of the forest, so they don't care about it.

Rockefeller said in a deep voice: "He just happens to be in North America, we must keep him this time, no matter whether he lives or dies."

TEP James nodded heavily, gritted his teeth and said: "I was waiting for your words, last time he put me Boom in the hospital and lay on the bed for more than half a year, this time I have to lock him up and play cage fighting for a few days to vent my anger , and then deal with it."

Strauss nodded as well.

Rockefeller was extremely relieved and looked at James, "How sure are you?"

"This time I will dispatch the most elite biochemical warriors, 100% can succeed."

"Our chances are running out."

"do not worry."

After James finished speaking, he took out the encrypted communicator and began to deploy.

After the busy work was over, the three of them stopped chatting and sat in the hall to wait quietly.

Two hours later.

Rockefeller's most trusted old butler hurried in.

"The owner, Richard's private plane, crashed on the campus of the State University of New York. All six crew members were killed. It was confirmed on the spot that the pilot was Richard."

"What?!" Rockefeller stood up abruptly.

Richard is his favorite son and the fourth-generation successor of Rockefeller.

Rockefeller was stunned for a long time, then clutched his chest suddenly, and looked at the old butler who came to summon him, "Medicine!"

However, the old butler who had followed him for more than 40 years stood at the door in a daze as if he had been fixed.

As for Strauss and James sitting in the hall, one maintained the posture of holding up the coffee cup, and the other maintained the posture of putting away the communicator.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still.

But the clock on the wall is still running.

Tick, tick, tick...

Rockefeller clutched his seventh heart, looked at everything in front of him with a distorted face, and opened his mouth to say something, but found that the medical monitoring equipment he was wearing had lost its function at some point, and he could only breathe out, not breathe in.

Soon, he sat heavily back in the Rockefeller family, where only the head of the family could sit, and then lay on his back and closed his eyes.

5 minute later.

The old butler woke up from his dream, and Strauss and James came back to their senses in an instant.

The three were in a mess, one contacted the private medical team, the other contacted other members of the Rockefeller family, and the third provided emergency assistance to Rockefeller.

After half an hour.

One of the richest people in the world, one of the three tycoons who dominated the mother star capital, Rockefeller, who was known as the oil magnate, was so saddened by the death of his son that his cardiovascular system underwent six operations burst on a large scale and died.

Soon, the official websites of the oil faction, TEP Group, and many companies in Boston all lost their color.

……

Houston, Leifei Technology Sports Center.

After two days, the Rockets made their debut again against the Lakers who came from afar.

In 02, the Lakers had already won three consecutive championships. They were so strong that they were lawless. Not only did they have the OK combination of Black Mamba and Sharks, but they also had Fox, who made money better than playing basketball, Walker, a rebounding maniac from the 96 golden generation, and a large group of elite players. Carefully selected rookies.

It can be said that the Rockets have no chance of winning.

Xu Fei didn't drag O'Neill into a small alley and beat him up because of the 'Kirov shark painting' problem like before, so that the opponent couldn't play. Instead, he asked for the enhanced version of the big tall one, and at least ten hot pots for O'Neill , otherwise take him to experience hot pot tonight.

Even if Dayao didn't attend Lao Bu's family banquet, he still knew about his reputation with the adults. From the beginning of the game, he had been staring at O'Neill closely, like a stray dog ​​preparing to bite.

In the second quarter of the game, O'Neal couldn't bear it anymore and quit.

Relying on his status as a top star, he secretly asked the referee to give him some privileges. However, the president of the NBA is in the VIP box, and Wall Street Capital also intends to give the big man more opportunities to facilitate American companies to explore the Eastern market.

So near the end of the second quarter, O'Neal made the sixth foul and left the field, aggrieved like a child.

Just as the capitalists in the VIP box burst into laughter, the news of the death of the oil magnate shocked the audience.

Soon more news came.

Strauss was distraught, had a heart attack, was admitted to Boston Hospital, and made a will, identifying TEP chairman James as the sole legal heir.

Strauss was once just a homeless man with no family and no children, and he took James for granted.

The problem is that James is both ruthless and ruthless in his work. He is not only the big sponsor of overseas bases in North America, but also the head of North American light weapons research and development.

Now the oil tycoon passed away suddenly, and the fourth-generation heir of the Rockefeller family was in an airplane crash. It means that there is no leader. In the future, the TEP group of "I am in you, and you are in me" must be relied on.

The TEP Group is in the hands of James, and behind the Boston New Consortium, United Express, the North American Rifle Association, and many northern universities, there is also James' shadow.

This is tantamount to the birth of a 'new capital giant', whose status is not inferior to that of JP Morgan and the Rothschild patriarch in North America.

Xiao Bu and the Wall Street financial tycoons all changed their expressions, and they no longer had the smile they had before.

Everyone even suspected that the death of the oil king and his son, as well as the hospitalization of Strauss, were all set up by James.

But no one dared to express their doubts, because they would really die, including Xiao Bu.

Xu Fei was also very sad.

After all, his grievances with James are known all over the world.

From the promotion of James, to James' repayment, to the two sides' own masters, to the two sides turning against each other, and then to the two sides hurting each other, there are all traces to follow.

Now that James is better than others, Director Xu is in danger.

Xu Fei got up immediately and motioned to the fourth secretary who came to deal with the contract, "Let the T-type business jet fly over, and I will leave tonight."

Xiao Bu really wanted to keep him, and he wanted to say some polite things, but when faced with people like JP Morgan and Rothschild, in the end, he had no choice but to get up and contact Air Force One.

What are you doing?

Go to the pier.

Fortunately, I helped James promote the HDMI interface before, the two sides ate and drank, and played in Las Vegas for a few days, so there is a certain emotional foundation.

……

The death of the oil king caused a shock in the North American capital circle, which is tantamount to a super tsunami.

7 month 11 number.

TEP Group released its financial statements, announcing its holdings in Mobil, Chevron, and Martin.

7 month 12 number.

The New Boston Consortium announced that it will participate in Citibank, Grumman, Lockheed, Douglas, and House Electric...

7 month 13 number.

United Express announced that it has reached a comprehensive cooperation with United Airlines, North American Airlines, Trans World Airlines, Eastern Airlines, etc. to form an "International United Express Company" to provide paid express services for any customer anywhere in the world.

7 month 14 number.

Harsco Steel Grating, a subsidiary of United Defense, acquired 16 steel companies, 12 coal companies, and 7 rare metal companies in North America.

FMC Food Chemical Machinery Company, a subsidiary of United Defense, acquired 21 agricultural machinery factories, 17 chemical fertilizer factories, 5 chemical institutions, and 3 medium-sized ordnance companies in North America.

7 month 15 number.

Affected by "Oil Pa", the stocks of Mobil and Chevron continued to fall. James announced that TEP laboratory developed a kind of "graphite X lubricating oil", which can effectively repair worn metal parts and prolong the mechanical life.

At the same time, it announced that it will reverse the main business of Mobil and Chevron, and vigorously develop the new lubricant industry.

In less than a week, although Mobil and Chevron suffered heavy losses in crude oil stocks, they changed their fate against the sky due to the newly launched lubricants, and kept their total market value unchanged.

Of course, Mr. James, who is so bullish, has not forgotten his own commander. Through the TEP website, he blatantly offered a reward of 10 billion US dollars and hired killers to retaliate wildly against Director Xu.

And Director Xu who has returned to Daze...

Citizen's Hospital, Psychological Counseling Department.

"Director, I've been waking up laughing from a dream lately."

"Mr. Xu, our country is very safe, so don't stress too much."

"No pressure, just fell asleep and woke up suddenly with a smile."

"I understand."

"You don't understand."

"..."

……

The summer of 02 was extremely hot and dry.

Compared with previous years, the temperature has risen by at least 3~5°C, breaking through 41°C several times.

Walking on the two-way 24-lane Central Street, looking around, there are heat waves that distort the sight all around.

Xu Fei led the mechanical vicious dog, bought two old popsicles, ate them one by one, and walked into the underground passage.

In an instant, a trace of coolness swept through the whole body, and the sleepy mental head immediately stiffened.

After taking the rail car to the West District, rows of game company doors came into view.

These companies used to be player guilds of legendary games. Later, the presidents made money, hired technicians, and transformed themselves into game agents or game developers.

Some companies have independent agency capabilities, some companies have the ability to independently develop games, and some companies can only be responsible for a certain field, and then join forces with other companies to jointly launch new games.

These games, no matter how big the map is, no matter how good the plot is, no matter how wonderful the operation is, they all have one thing in common: graphics cards.

The game launched in May can be played with mainstream graphics cards on the market.

For the game launched in June, the mainstream graphics card on the market stuttered.

Games launched in July, including updated old games, cannot be supported by mainstream graphics cards on the market.

But if you buy an X-series discrete graphics card from Octopus, all of the above problems can be solved.

At the same time, in order to help players with 'small screens' get a better experience, Leizer Technology has launched a cheap blind version of the LED display.

It's a strategy to beat competitors.

In other words, the publicity that LED screens are harmful to the eyes will definitely reduce the number of people who buy LEDs in the future, and instead buy XLEDs, won't their own sales increase?

In addition, Leizer Technology also launched a projector + projection screen, just for commercialization, the resolution of related products is too low, and further development is needed to form a player market.

With the emergence of X-series graphics cards, the most uncomfortable is not the computer manufacturer, but the home game console manufacturer.

For example, Nintendo scolded Director Xu, saying that he polluted the entire game industry with light effects.

"Obviously you don't know the joy of light effects!"
