Chapter 723 Unocal Listing

…

“I understand how you feel. But even we can’t stop this kind of thing, and Paul Volcker has proven it for us.”

Guo Shouyun was referring to an article published last month by former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker on his blog to be wary of the U.S. real estate bubble.

As a giant in the American economic circle, he was praised by the current Fed Chairman Greenspan as the “father of American economic vitality in the past two decades”. He failed to attract the slightest attention from the political and financial circles through his influence. If Stephen Bryan wants to turn things around, that’s probably how it works.

Not to mention that Guo Shouyun didn’t intend to stop it at first, and even if he stopped it, it would just be a man’s arm.

He got up and patted Stephen Bryan’s shoulder, “Okay, relax. With the current economic situation in the world, even if the United States has another economic crisis like the Great Depression, it will still not be able to shake the United States’ position in the world. Therefore, we Don’t worry, wait for the crisis to come, and then in a few years, watch it pass. The world is still there and the U.S. economy will recover again.”

Stephen Bryan nodded and stood up.

“Let’s go, let’s eat, it’s just noon. Besides, I’m hungry too after talking so much.”

Guo Shouyun, who patted his belly, took Stephen and walked out.

…

On November 5, 2004, an advertisement for Unocal’s listing appeared on a large screen outside the New York Stock Exchange.

At this time, in the trading floor, Guo Shouyun and Unocal CEO Rebecca Mark were surrounded by Wall Street financial bigwigs.

“Bruce, congratulations. You have another company listed successfully.” George Prescott Bush laughed.

He represented the Bush family to participate in the Unocal listing.

“Tong Xi, Tong Xi. The Bush Family Fund is also an investor in Unocal, and everyone benefits from the listing of the company.” Guo Shouyun said with a smile.

“We small shareholders can’t compare to you, the founder of the company. However, Bruce, when will Phoenix Bank go public?” Kenny Morgan, the sixth generation of the Morgan family, is also the heir to the Morgan family fund. Represented father Frederick Morgan in Unocal’s listing.

Looking around him, representatives of the Bush, Morgan, Kennedy, Roosevelt families, as well as representatives of the Carlyle Group, Blackstone Group, Goldman Sachs, and Merrill Lynch, Guo Shouyun knew very well what they had in mind.

“Please rest assured, the financing before Phoenix Bank’s listing will definitely not be missing you.”

The current Guo Shouyun is no longer five years ago. At that time, he could not wait to hold all the interests in his own hands, and not give a cent to outsiders. But now, he understands that if he wants to keep his wealth, he must have his own connections and power, and money has become a secondary thing.

The Bush, Morgan, Kennedy and Roosevelt families are the focus of his investment. Once you get to know them, you will truly occupy a place in the top social circle in the United States. In addition to the identity of the son-in-law of the Roosevelt family, it will also dilute his Chinese identity.

“…As for the specific time, it will be placed after Google.”

Kenny Morgan and the others nodded, but they didn’t ask Google. For family funds that focus on value preservation and appreciation, the Internet is not a reassuring investment target. At least for now. However, investment institutions like Carlyle who pursue high yields obviously don’t think so.

Just as Goldman Sachs COO Joe Smith was about to ask something, Rebecca Marks got ahead of him.

“Boss, it’s almost time.”

Guo Shouyun nodded, “Everyone, I’m going to ring the bell, so I left first.”

“Hehe, a rare moment, of course not to be missed.” Joseph Kennedy II laughed.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

“See you soon!”

“See you soon.”

When Guo Shouyun took Rebecca to the New York Stock Exchange Management Company to prepare the podium for Unocal, the company’s executives were already waiting here.

Seeing the happy eyes they looked at him, Guo Shouyun smiled and nodded.

As the focus of the audience, as he walked to the center of the podium, the atmosphere under the stage gradually became quiet.

Guo Shouyun, who has participated in the listing of LinkedIn, is very clear about the next process. After taking the microphone from Rebecca, facing the attention of hundreds of pairs of eyes from the audience, he said without stage fright: “Everyone, as the board of directors of Unocal. Chairman, I am very pleased and sincerely thank you for being here and participating in Unocal’s IPO.”

“As an oil company developed based on Enron’s oil business, Unocal has experienced three years from 2001 to the present. Over the past three years, we have always adhered to the corporate culture of integrity, customer first, and social responsibility, and actively engaged in oil exploration. And the development field continues to progress.”

“Unocal now has grown from a small oil company with assets of less than 10 billion three years ago to a total asset of 93.7 billion US dollars, operating income of 36.6 billion US dollars, net income of 3.88 billion US dollars, total return on assets 5.73%, net assets Yield 12.34%, with 6.3 billion barrels of oil reserves, large oil companies with operations in 19 countries around the world.”

“We firmly believe that Unocal’s development will become more and more visible as global oil prices increase. We will also strive to build a world-class oil company that will bring great returns to all Unocal shareholders~www .readwn.com~ Thank you all, thank you again for being here today, thank you!”

“Whoa…!”

Loud applause broke out in the halls of the New York Stock Exchange.

Along with applause, Guo Shouyun greeted Unocal executives including Rebecca Mark and pressed the button to ring the bell.

Accompanied by the huge bell, colorful ribbons fell from the sky, red, blue, green and purple, embellishing the whole scene with joy.

Soon, the first transaction order for Unocal stock was born. 500,000 shares, from Fidelity Funds investment.

Hassan Winslow, chairman and chief executive of the New York Stock Exchange, handed the paper stock transaction slip to Guo Shouyun.

In fact, since the advent of the personal computer on Wall Street, the paperless office has become popular. The stock transaction receipts of the last century have said goodbye to the stock market.

Modern people only need to click the trade button on their account through the computer to buy or sell their own stocks. There’s no need to keep a list of stock trades in the safe like cash.

However, it has also been a rule of the New York Stock Exchange for many years to hand over a list of the company’s first transactions after going public to the company’s founder as a souvenir.

“Mr. Guo, this should be your second stock trading list, right?” Hassan Winslow laughed.

“I also have a list of transactions on LinkedIn.” Guo Shouyun smiled.

“Hopefully next year I can personally hand over the third, fourth, and even more to you.”

The subtext of this sentence is to hope that Guo Shouyun’s company will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

“I think so! … Also, I’ll keep these stock trading lists as heirlooms of the Guo family.”
