Regardless of how much the J. Langdon father and son prioritized heir interests, unless their life was at
stake, they would not consider the choice of breaking off their arm to save themselves.
At this moment, on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, a multi party meeting hosted by the highest
financial department of the United States was underway.
ExxonMobil’s chairman Bryant sat expressionless on the sofa with a pipe in his mouth. Sitting opposite
him was Soros from Quantum Fund.
As the host, Hamilton tapped his finger on the armrest of the sofa, looked at Bryant, and said, “Bryant,
the situation is right in front of us now. What we need is your opinion.”
Bryant snorted and answered, “Why should I sell my company’s shares just because you want to fight
Somerland?”
Soros chimed in, “We’re not asking you to sell your shares, but for everyone to give up part of the
shares. This is the only way to deal JW Foundation a painful blow.”
Bryant chuckled coldly and replied, “You have the funds from all of Wall Street backing you up, yet still
want to deal with a punk from Somerland in such a despicable way?”
Shrugging, Soros said, “I advocate the smallest price in exchange for the greatest results. What’s
more, Wall Street funds are used to attack the Somerland domestic market and even snipe Somer
Dollars. Do you think that group of capitalists will let me hollow out their pockets?”
“No matter what you say, I will not sell 25% of my shares to Fongroup, ” Bryant said coldly.
Soros scoffed coldly, stopped talking, and turned to look at Hamilton.
Hamilton rubbed his chin and said, “Mr. Bryant, I don’t think you have recognized the current situation.
We have already convinced most of the board members, and even gained the Rockefellers’ preliminary
agreement.”
Bryant’s eyes widened and he said in disbelief, “The Rockefellers agreed?”
The predecessor of ExxonMobil was Standard Oil. One could already imagine how impressive a
company had to be to be named Standard. The company founded by the Rockefellers was the largest
oil company in the world at that time, and it was the first truly multinational company.
Later, in the face of antitrust laws, Standard Oil was broken up. After which, ExxonMobil inherited most
of its core assets. Even so, it represented only one of more than 30 subsidiaries companies that
Standard Oil had split into.
What the world saw was that Standard Oil had been split, but they did not know that the real Standard
Oil was still under the control of the Rockefellers.
It was just the family was so low-key that it seldom cared about anything in the company, which is why
the outside world did not know this secret.
“The first heir to the Rockefellers, Miss Taylor Rockefeller, has nodded and agreed to the deal.
Naturally, in exchange, Fongroup that belongs to Half the Harbor Langdon will give the Rockefellers a
total of 27% of their shares, including the telecommunications project they recently invested in, which is
based in the United Kingdom.”
Upon hearing Hamilton’s words, Bryant let out a long sigh.
Although he was the chairman, he was only a small shareholder in the super large multinational energy
company that was ExxonMobil. This entity had a complex share structure and was of an unimaginable
scale.
His position as the chairman was also a result of his contest with many others. Still, no matter who
became the chairman, they would first need to be recognized by the Rockefellers.
His appointment back then was approved by Miss Taylor, who had just become the first heir in the line,
ten years ago.
Therefore, he knew that his time was up.
“I don’t think I have any reason to refuse anymore,” Bryant said, feeling discouraged.
He knew that the reason why the two people were sitting here to discuss with him was just that they did
not want to waste time. If he refused, he was afraid that he would hear the news of ExxonMobil’s CEO
replacement the very next morning.
“I’m sure that Half the Harbor Langdon in the East can‘t wait to hear the good news that Mr. Bryant will
announce to him personally, ” Soros stood up and said with the smile of a victor.
