Chapter 325 Spend money, spend money hard!

(9400 words, please give me monthly tickets. It’s the last day. Don’t let your monthly tickets go to waste. I’m doing this for your own good. I only ask for 900 votes... The vinegar fireworks are ready. Let’s borrow some dumplings. Well, hairy crabs will do too. As we all know, Fireworks are not picky eaters, as long as they can eat them!)

…

What does it mean to rely on the old and sell the old!

Shen Bi is relying on his old age to betray his old age!

After the old man left HSBC, he completely let himself go.

Money can't be called rich, but it is definitely not lacking. After controlling HSBC for so many years, I still have a net worth of tens of millions. At this age, it is difficult to spend it all.

The famous leader of Hong Kong Island has left a mark in the history of Hong Kong Island.

Now that the old man is here with Sean, it is purely because he is unwilling to take time off after being kicked out from HSBC.

Of course, in the past, it was controlled indirectly through banks, and we were playing with finance. Now we are playing with entities, new fields, and new feelings.

So the old man didn't give a shit about Sean at all, and would always say something to Sean.

Sean couldn't do anything with the old guy. He just killed the old guy with one shot. The old guy's life was considered complete. With the sensation of his death, he might become even more famous...

Of course, it's more that the veteran is really talented and can help Sean sort out the company. In addition, he has a friend who has been with him for many years, so bickering is actually quite interesting.

Chatting all the way, it didn't take long before we arrived at our destination.

The current boss and president of Husky Energy Company came to pick him up. A group of people looked up at Sean's sky palace and were in a good mood.

After selling the company to Sean, I received a large sum of cash that can be used to invest in other industries. I am very happy.

The company president is also happy that with a new super-rich boss, the company can better weather the "cold winter" in the oil industry...

Of course, calling it a cold winter is an exaggeration. Those big money investors are still living well, but they are not making money as fast as before.

The plane stopped, and the first people to get off were more than 30 security guards in black suits.

Looking at the serious-looking people who were obviously carrying big security guards, a group of people in Canada gradually had weird expressions.

Good guy, it’s better to meet him than to be famous!

It is said that this man has countless enemies everywhere, so he pays great attention to personal security issues. But when we actually meet him, we realize that this is not a security issue. This is simply a security issue!

Everyone is really surprised. Since you know that you are so hated by others, why can't you restrain yourself!?

The richer you are, the more eccentric you are!

It's not that Sean is a coward, it's the guy who was caught throwing flying shoes in the mental hospital before and was escorted out for two days and confessed. He believes in YSL. The reason why he did that that day was to provoke a conflict between Sean and the Catholics. , take revenge on him.

Sean didn't blame Torre and the others for the attack that day. The security inspection was already very strict. It was true that no firearms or other dangerous items entered the venue, but people had to wear shoes!

This is not dangerous, just disgusting.

On the plane, Shen Bi got up early. Sean asked curiously: "What are you doing? It's not time to get off the plane yet. It's not safe now!"

"I'm afraid of death!" Shen Bi rolled his eyes and said with an unhappy face, "I don't think it's fucking safe to get off the plane with you!"

After that, the old man walked out angrily, leaving Sean alone in a daze.

The corners of Lorraine's mouth rose crazily. Norris and others lowered their heads and pretended not to hear anything, and they all felt uncomfortable.

Sean chose to swallow his anger and did not come down from the sky palace until the control was completed. The rest was to go through the process.

After complimenting each other, Sean invited several people from Husky to get into his car.

This is also a characteristic of Sean. When others go out, they always get into the receptionist's car. Only Sean brings his own car when traveling and invites others to get into his own car.

Just highlight one fear of death!

Fortunately, Sean's style has spread throughout the world, and once you get familiar with it, you won't feel like it's taking the spotlight, but you'll find it interesting.

Cowardly, cowardly!

Of course, Sean definitely doesn't see it that way.

When you get here, go directly to Husky Energy Company. The contract was negotiated a year ago, and Shen Bi presided over the negotiation.

Very formal!

In 1986, it was normal for an acquisition involving hundreds of millions of dollars to be negotiated for a year. If someone was like Sean, he would spend money on it.

Murdoch was so painful that he wanted to die!

Amidst a burst of warm applause, Sean put down his pen.

US$500 million, in cash, was used to acquire 58% of Husky's shares and become the company's controlling shareholder in one fell swoop. This may be an exaggeration, but it's almost the same.

Boss He originally spent more than 500 million on the acquisition and only got 52% of the shares. But Sean is an American and belongs to the father's acquisition of his son's industry, so he can naturally get more.

Moreover, Sean also avoided a Canadian law, which is that non-residents cannot acquire profitable energy companies. Well, that's roughly what it means.

However, Sean forcibly blocked Boss He's path, delaying Husky for a year, and frustrated several potential acquirers. The company eventually suffered losses due to lack of funds.

Finally, Sean won the second largest oil company in Canada.

After completing the acquisition, Sean held a shareholders' meeting and announced a capital injection of 50 million. He didn't care whether other shareholders followed suit or not, otherwise his shares would be diluted.

At the shareholders' meeting, Sean also advocated adjusting the company's current development strategy and gradually shifting its focus to offshore oil and gas field exploration while maintaining the same mining and refining scale.

Mainly focusing on offshore exploration technology and drilling platform production.

If Sean was simply a major shareholder, it would still be difficult to redefine the company's development direction. After all, adjustments would require capital investment.

But Sean has money. If he throws away 50 million, no one will have anything to say.

At the same time, Sean established another patented technology management company in the United States, and used the Rockefeller technology obtained from David to invest in Husky Energy and once again hold a certain percentage of shares.

Of course, this is after Husky has adjusted its development direction, and Sean will be more confident in suppressing everyone's opposition.

It was already a week after everything was handled, and this was despite Shen Bi doing a lot of preliminary work in advance. A week later, Sean ended his trip to Canada, and the company continued to be run by the original team before returning to the United States.

Target, Los Angeles.

When Sean arrived in Los Angeles, he didn't notify his group of women. If these women arrived, he wouldn't have time to do serious business.

As soon as he arrived in Los Angeles, he went straight to the construction site. Thanks to the Sky Palace, old man Shen Bi had a good rest on the plane, otherwise he would not have the energy to cooperate with Sean.

"Mr. Sean, this is what the building will look like after it is completed." The design company placed a poster in front of Sean.

It is a hexagonal column building, straight up and down, 336 meters high, with a total of 78 floors!

According to the Los Angeles City Building Code, this is already the tallest building that can be built. Because Los Angeles is in an earthquake zone, taller buildings do not meet safety regulations.

There are four floor skirts below that are attached to the main body of the building. The overall look is somewhat like a rocket about to be launched.

The entire design plan, the height of the building, and the number of floors were all proposed by Sean, which symbolizes the rocket rising into the sky, rising steadily, and getting out of control.

"If the entire building is completed, it will be the tallest building in Los Angeles and the tallest building in California." The designer said enthusiastically.

On this building, Sean only asked to look like a rocket and didn't care about anything else. The rest was all the artist's business.

Six high-speed elevators are designed on the corners of the building's hexahedron. The elevator is located on the outermost side, facing a 180° fully transparent glass wall.

The speed of the high-speed elevator exceeds 50 kilometers per hour, and watching the scenery outside shrink rapidly is not much less exciting than roller coasters and Ferris wheels.

Especially when descending, there will be a strong sense of weightlessness for a moment at the beginning, and the timid ones will lose control and pee out of fear!

This isn't the end yet.

On the top floor, designed by Sean, is a bar, the highest bar in the world!

When the weather is good, you can overlook the entire California. The exterior wall is also a full-glass wall curtain, and an enclosed roller coaster made of transparent glass is designed on the outside of the wall curtain.

Of course, the danger is not high, and the construction difficulty is not great either. The main thing is the height, 336 meters, which is extremely scary!

In addition, Sean also asked to design several real jumping machines from the 78th to 48th floors. The entire jumping machine is more than 130 meters long, which is actually the highest jumping machine. Moreover, the building is at high altitude, which is very exciting.

The level of thrills can be called abnormal.

Anyway, this is how the designer looked at Sean when he heard his request.

What kind of anti-human design is this? I’m afraid it’s not meant to scare people to death!

Of course, these designers were extremely excited while scolding Sean for being a pervert. Facts have proved that most people like bad taste.

After looking at the poster and the physical model produced by the design company, Sean was overall very satisfied.

In fact, in addition to the skyscraper Sean wants to build, there is another skyscraper under construction in Los Angeles at this time.

Its name is "Library Building" and it was designed by architect Henry N. Cobb of I.M. Pei Architects.

The original Los Angeles Library building was completely unusable after two catastrophic fires. The government allocated $100 million in reconstruction funds, part of which was used to renovate the Los Angeles Central Library.

The building has a total length of 310 meters and can withstand an earthquake of magnitude 8.3 on the Richter scale. The construction cost is estimated to be around US$350 million. It was sold several times in later generations. It was bought by First Interstate Bank and renamed 'First Interstate World Center'. Later it was renamed 'First Interstate World Center'.

Bought by US Bankcorp, it was renamed the Federal Bank Building.

Since Sean chose to build a skyscraper, he naturally wanted to be superior to others, so he built a 336-meter tall one.

Without hesitation, Sean agreed to the design plan. Shen Bi, who was standing beside him, reached out and clicked on the estimated construction cost at the end of the design plan.

380 million!

Sean just glanced at it and didn't care, it was only 380 million!
