America 1881: They Call Me Legend

Chapter 210 Something went wrong
Chen Jianqiu raised his hand, interrupting Abiot who wanted to continue talking.

"I didn't find out the owner of this land, right?"

Abiot remained silent.

"Scott doesn't even know about small things." Chen Jianqiu waved his hand, "I told him just now."

But he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Were you downstairs just now?"

"Well, I've been downstairs."

"Who was that guy who ran out of Scott's room before me?"

Abiot thought for a while, and probably understood who Chen Jianqiu was referring to.

"Matt Dylan, Scott's full-time lawyer and a top student at Harvard Law School, has followed him since he was in business. He is a genius." Abiot said.

"He understands everything, from business disputes to criminal proceedings, and later on cleaning Scott's ass."

"They seemed to have had a very violent quarrel just now?" Chen Jianqiu asked doubtfully.

"I'm not sure about that." Abiot shook his head, "Then what's next?"

"Scott asked you to follow me, so you can follow me." Chen Jianqiu said, "Your mission in Santa Fe has been successfully completed.

He rode to the hotel and left a sentence:

"At least, Scott now thinks he's by my side and has an eyeliner."

……

Astor IV is worthy of being the heir valued by his great-grandfather. He has adept business skills, and his talent in business negotiations is unparalleled.

Chen Jianqiu originally planned to pack up his things and go back first. He estimated that it would take at least a month for Astor to deal with these matters.

However, Astor came over the next day and told him he only needed a week.

Those shareholders other than Rockefeller received Astor's telegram.

He is going to buy back their shares.

These people have already been annoyed by these five or six years of zero-revenue projects.

Most of them joined for no other reason than the oil boom of a decade ago, when oil wells littered the land of Pennsylvania and Ohio.

But later, it was discovered that due to the low refining process and low efficiency, the crude oil produced in large quantities could only be sold at a low price.

As for the oil field that may exist in New Mexico, it took five years, manpower and material resources, and no root was found.

Now the major shareholder who took the lead finally realized his conscience, and he can finally get out of the trap.

So they hurriedly asked their lawyer in New York to handle the matter, for fear that Astor would go back on his word.

Astor's action was very fast, and the price was just right, which made it difficult for these small shareholders to refuse.

But unfortunately, he forgot one thing. One of the minority shareholders, Allamente's company, is also in Cleveland, just across from Standard Oil.

So, on a sunny afternoon, Alamente sat comfortably outside the cafe downstairs of his company and drank afternoon tea.

He met a Standard Oil executive who also slipped out of his busy schedule.

Allament told the executive that Astor was acquiring their equity, and lamented that the Astor family in New York had finally done something.

The executive nearly choked on his own cup of bitter flat Americano.

He quickly ran back to the company and told the news to his boss, John Rockefeller.

"That land may be out of oil," the executive told Rockefeller of his own judgment, "Astor is buying other people's shares like crazy."

Rockefeller didn't even look up, he was studying a stack of documents on the table.

If there is one person in this world who firmly believes that the land will produce oil, then this person must be him, because he was the one who told the Freemasonry that the oil might be buried in this land.

But he doesn't care about it right now.

His energies were entirely on Standard Oil's shareholder meeting a little over a month later.

At that time, the first trust in human history is about to appear, and this company in New Mexico is just one of more than 40 companies controlled by him.

"Let Little John deal with this matter, he should learn to take care of things by himself." The tycoon said with his head down, "Didn't he just happen to be in Santa Fe with a few other people?"

After John Rockefeller Jr. received his father's telegram, he also frantically bought up the stocks of the remaining minority shareholders.

This creates a very bad thing.

The price of the equity has gone up.

Those small shareholders who didn't intend to continue playing, even if they didn't find any clues, they started to find rare goods.

As a result, the negotiations reached an impasse.

Seeing that the week before the promise to Chen Jianqiu was getting closer, Astor also felt something was wrong.

Why hasn't the news from New York been transmitted for a long time? It stands to reason that according to the straightforwardness of the previous companies, the procedures should be almost handled in the past few days.

After many investigations, he finally knew what happened.

He decided to talk to John Rockefeller, Jr., in Santa Fe.

And the way to ask him is very simple.

Also in the Chamber of Commerce, John Rockefeller Jr.'s office is just downstairs from him.

Unlike Astor IV who was out of his mind, Rockefeller Jr. just came to deal with some business matters.

In addition to being taken over by other people from the "Santa Fe Group", McCall's mine also attracted capital that smelled of blood.

Therefore, when Chen Jianqiu walked in from the gate of the Chamber of Commerce, he saw Astor running down the stairs on the second floor in a hurry.

"Chen, you came just in time. Come with me to see Rockefeller." Astor waved to Chen Jianqiu, while he walked quickly towards an office on the first floor without stopping.

Chen Jianqiu came this time to tell Astor something else.

Li Sifu followed behind him, this child was dressed up carefully by Chen Jianqiu for a rare time, and changed into a new suit.

They followed Astor and arrived at the door of Rockefeller Jr., only to find that the owner of the office was already waiting for them.

Also across from a large desk, seats were prepared for them.

Little Rockefeller adjusted his bow tie, and Astor IV touched his collar.

The eyes of the two most outstanding heirs of their respective families met, full of gunpowder.

However, before the two of them could open their mouths, what Li Sifu whispered to Chen Jianqiu directly put them off guard:

"Boss, these two seem to be fighting cocks."

"Who are these two people?" Little Rockefeller looked at Chen Jianqiu and Li Sifu with disdain.

"My business partner." Astor snapped back.

He went right back to the point: "Oil wells were discovered in the Roswell field."

"We already know." Rockefeller Jr. put up an empty plan, "It's not appropriate to acquire equity without prior notice. We can just go upstairs and downstairs."

"Didn't I come to tell you?" Little Astor muttered, and he was defeated for a while.

"I suggest you give it up. The remaining professional things are ours, and we still have to let professional people do them."

Little Rockefeller's face showed an inevitable smile.

In the office, there was silence.
