英国石油公司和壳牌石油公司等企业将许多人认为它们应当想方设法脱手的一些资产卖出了天价。为了支付“深水地平线”海上钻井平台爆炸事故灾难以及原油泄漏所造成的数百亿美元损失,英国石油公司已经被迫将其在全球各地的油田和其他能源资产出手。与人们此前的预测大为不同的是,英国石油公司的资产清理行动并没有以低价甩卖的方式进行,而是取得了巨大成功。 Businesses, such as BP and Shell, have sold astronomical high prices to some assets that many think they should find ways to sell their hands. In an effort to pay billions of dollars in losses caused by the Deepwater Horizon offshore drilling disaster and oil spill, BP has been forced to launch its global oil and other energy assets. In much the same way people had previously predicted, BP’s asset-liquidation move was not a bargain-hunting move, but a huge success.
