Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

"Dad, if the enemy launches a takeover from us, do we really want to sell our equity?"

Jarvan Reilly asked very reluctantly.

After Harry Oppenheimer was silent for a long time, he slowly said: "Anglo American and De Beers are our pillar companies that have been operating for so many years. If we can retain them, we must do our best to retain them."

"But again, it depends on the attitude of the Rohir family."

"In the three scenarios of them selling equity, us selling equity, or both of us having to sell equity, of course we have to choose the first one."

Jarvan Reilly was stunned for a moment, frowned and thought for a long time, then looked at Harry Oppenheimer in confusion and asked: "Dad, do you want to force the Rothschild family to make a choice?"

Harry Oppenheimer said calmly without changing his face: "It's not about forcing, but about consulting their attitude."

"Since the Rothschild family has become the spokesperson of our alliance, they have the responsibility and obligation to stand up and shoulder the important responsibilities as soon as possible. If they don't care about our life and death, do you think we have the obligation to act as a death squad for them?"

After speaking, Harry Oppenheimer gave Gavin Reilly a meaningful look.

Although it is said that the more critical moments come, the more allies must stick together for warmth, otherwise they will be easily defeated individually.

But if the process of hugging together to keep warm requires them to burn themselves to keep warm the Rothschild family, then this is not hugging together to keep warm, but sacrificing oneself for others.

Between the two choices of one's own death and the death of others, of course one's own life is more important!

Jarvan Reilly's expression changed a few times, then he nodded heavily and said, "Dad, you are right."

"We have to pay and see if it's worth it!"

Harry Oppenheimer nodded silently.

"I'm going to visit Jacob Lothier tonight. Get ready."

"OK."

…

That evening, Harry Oppenheimer came to the Rothschild family estate with his son-in-law Jarvan Reilly.

However, when they were led by the servants to the living room, they found that someone was already in the living room.

In addition to Jacob Lochier and Evelyn Locier, Harry Oppenheimer's eyes froze when he saw the other two people.

It turned out to be the heads of the Ceylon Family and the Barrett Family, Duke Ceylon and Myron Barrett, two old friends he also knew.

It's just that the identities of these two old friends are also very special, and they are also heavyweights in the British business community and even the European capital community.

Duke Ceylan is the chairman of Rio Tinto Group.

And Myron Barrett is even more incredible, he is the chairman of NatWest Bank, the top bank in the UK!

And most importantly.

Rio Tinto Group, like NatWest Bank, is not under the Rothschild family consortium, but it has deep ties with the Rothschild family. The Ceylon family and the Barrett family are both allies of the Rothschild family. .

In the face of many competitors, Duke Ceylon and Myron Barrett were able to secure the positions of chairman of the two companies respectively, and the help of the Rothschild family was indispensable.

Especially for Myron Barrett.

After all, NatWest is bigger and more complex than Rio Tinto.

NatWest was formed through the merger of three long-established banks: 1 Westminster Bank, NatWest Bank and Districts Bank.

The equity ownership of old banks is already complicated. If three companies merge, the relationship between shareholders will become even more chaotic, and the equity ownership will be extremely dispersed.

Even though the ambitious Myron Barrett spent more than ten years increasing his stake and becoming the bank's largest shareholder, the Barrett family's shareholding ratio in NatWest only reached 12.19!

With the support of the Rothschild family and other allies, Myron Barrett has always managed NatWest Bank well, so the Barrett family's operating position in NatWest Bank is relatively stable.

But now is a special period, and no business conditions or capabilities matter. The competition is about hard power, and the pound...

Harry Oppenheimer's thoughts lasted only a moment.

When Duke Ceylon and Myron Barrett saw the arrival of Harry Oppenheimer and Gavin Reilly, their thoughts changed quickly, and then they stood up at the same time.

"Jacob, Evelyn, good evening!"

"Duke, Myron, I didn't expect you guys to be here too!"

"long time no see!"

"Yeah, long time no see, Harry!"

"Let's sit down and talk."

"..."

After a brief greeting, Harry Oppenheimer and Gavin Reilly sat on the empty sofa on the left.

Although I don’t know to what extent they talked about it before.

But Harry Oppenheimer would not think about listening for a while before speaking. This choice would only put him at a disadvantage.

Therefore, before his butt was even hot, he looked at Jacob Lochier and said: "Jacob, we are in trouble. Multiple mining sites of De Beers and Anglo American have encountered blackmail." The attack by Water International caused heavy losses.”

"And as competitors scramble to cut prices, ore futures prices have plummeted, and now we are facing huge market competition pressure."

"Moreover, our company is already being shorted by the enemy!"

“It’s hard for us to solve these troubles on our own!”

The intelligence power of the Rothschild family is not limited. Jacob Rothschild naturally knows the information, but he cannot easily express his position on such a difficult issue.

So after pondering for a few seconds, he slowly asked, "Harry, I'm sorry for the trouble you've encountered, but with the strength of the Oppenheimer family, we shouldn't be unable to deal with it."

Harry Oppenheimer immediately shook his head and said the reason he had thought of in the future tense: "Jacob, the social situation in South Africa is not optimistic. The racial movement is getting more and more intense. Our family's huge energy and resources have been involved there. You You should also know."

"What's more, Blackwater International's strength in Africa is obvious to all. How can we be their opponent?"

Jacob Rocher's face sank, unable to refute.

Upon seeing this, Harry Oppenheimer continued: "Now, the enemy has targeted De Beers and Anglo American. If we do not have strong countermeasures, then... there is no guarantee that these two companies will not be Taken away by the enemy.”

Harry Oppenheimer had just finished speaking.

Duke Ceylon immediately spoke up and said: "Jacob, Rio Tinto's crisis is the same as that of Anglo American. We need sufficient financial support."

Evelyn Lochier sets her sights on Myron Barrett.

But Myron Barrett spread his hands helplessly: "Although NatWest is one of the top five banks in the UK, it has also lost a large amount of liquidity before."

"What's more, the funds you want are not small amounts. Although I am the chairman, they must be discussed by the board of directors. The current situation is that it is very likely that the money you want will not be approved, and I have lost my right. The board of directors was even driven out of control.”

"So I suggest that everyone support themselves for some time first, or strengthen my control over NatWest Bank. As long as the crisis at NatWest Bank is resolved, it will be easy to get funds by then!"

"Otherwise, if NatWest is forcibly acquired by a rival, we will be in greater danger!"

After saying that, Myron Barrett fixed his sights on Jacob Lochier.

Hearing this, Duke Ceylon and Harry Oppenheimer on the side frowned, secretly cursing Myron Barrett, an old coin, for being unkind and doing this.

Sure enough, Jacob Rocher seized the opportunity, looked at Duke Ceylan and Harry Oppenheimer, and asked slowly: "Do you think Myron's plan is feasible?"

Of course not!

only.

But I don’t know how to refute...

at this time.

Jarvan Reilly, who had been silent, suddenly said: "We will think so, and the enemy will definitely think so too."

"And in comparison, NatWest Bank's equity is the most dispersed, and it is also the most difficult to defend and integrate."

"As long as the battle for NatWest Bank becomes a protracted battle, then the previous assumptions are really just assumptions."

"I feel that since we are all in the same camp, we should not give up any of our allies."

Harry Oppenheimer gave his son-in-law an appreciative look, and then shouted, "My son-in-law is right."

"Jacob, we must unite at this time."

"You have always been the leader, and this time we will listen to your orders."

Jacob Lochier and Evelyn Lochier's heads suddenly swelled.

The tall hat given to me by Harry Oppenheimer, an old man, is not easy to wear!

ps: I'm really sorry to disappoint everyone. I stopped updating for so long. I'm trying my best to get back to normal now.
