Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

London, England.

George Berkeley was also keenly aware of the changes in the situation.

In addition, he received an order from Chairman Xia Yu.

He immediately summoned his subordinates to discuss adjustments to the plan and released authority to a greater extent, even if this would increase more costs!

But at this time, in order to complete the acquisition target as soon as possible, we did not care about some financial gains and losses.

The most important thing is to get the company you want as soon as possible!

…

The reason why Xia Yu asked George Berkeley to acquire Schroders Group was because of certain considerations.

In the past, more than 20 European institutions cooperated to short-sell the Xiangjiang capital market. Among them, Schroders Group, although not the largest contributor, was among the first.

And compared to other institutions, Schroders Group is also the most familiar with Xiangjiang, and can be called the vanguard of the short-selling army!

Schroeder Group has a subsidiary, Baoyuan Investment Management (Xiangjiang) Company, with the goal of establishing a foothold in Xiangjiang and radiating into Asia.

Relying on the complex network of relationships and strong strength accumulated by Schroders Group over more than 170 years, Baoyuan Investment Management Company has developed very rapidly.

Baoyuan Investment Management Company can be seen among the shareholders of major British-funded companies in Hong Kong, and even many Chinese-funded companies.

For example, in the China Electric Power Company that Xia Yu acquired previously, he was one of the major shareholders holding more than 5% of the shares.

In the past few years, when Xia Yu was hunting for British financial groups, he had many dealings with Baoyuan Investment Management Company and made a lot of money from it.

Without Xia Yu's intervention, according to the normal trajectory, Baoyuan Investment Management Company would have managed more than 150 billion US dollars of capital in future generations!

The amount of management capital alone accounts for more than half of the entire Schroders Group.

Although because of Xia Yu, many potential companies and markets in Xiangjiang and even Asia have been occupied by the Jiuding Consortium.

As a result, the development of Baoyuan Investment Management Company was affected.

However, it is undeniable that this subsidiary, which has been developed for more than ten years, still has a strong influence in Asia and is an important subsidiary of Schroders Group.

Xia Yu is not worried that Baoyuan Investment Management Company is in the hands of the Schroeder family.

But if Schroder Group and Baoyuan Investment Management Company are taken over by the Rothschild family, or other top European families, then it can still be done if they want to do something.

Although he couldn't pose a big threat to Xia Yu, it was okay to upset Xia Yu to the point of draining his energy.

Therefore, Xia Yu naturally wanted to eliminate such a hidden danger.

Of course, this is not the main reason why he targets Schroeder Group.

The most important consideration.

In addition to its deep influence in the UK, the Schroders Group also has considerable influence in West Germany.

After all, the Schroeder Group was originally founded in Hamburg, Germany.

Although the headquarters was later moved to the UK, the German market was still not abandoned.

It can be said that within Europe, the West German market is the second focus of Schroeder Group.

And this is what Xia Yu values ​​most!

only.

The acquisition of this company was not implemented smoothly.

Even if the person who takes action is Curtis Dubois, the acquisition expert who has successfully acquired the investment banking business of G.S. Warburg Company before!

Curtis Dubois hurriedly arrived outside George Berkeley's office, knocked on the door and walked in.

George Berkeley in the room frowned when he saw his serious expression.

"Curtis, things are not going well?"

Curtis Dubois sat down on the stool opposite George Berkeley, calmed his breathing, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, Eric Schroeder's attitude has changed dramatically."

"His resistance was very resolute before, but today his attitude has softened. I thought there was hope, but the talks were all useless."

"I noticed something was wrong, and after investigating, I found out that there was someone who was disrupting the situation. Eric Schroeder and Saren Francisco met!"

“Now Saren Francisco, with the help of Eric Schroeder, wants to acquire the shares of the Schroeder Group!”

George Berkeley suddenly sat up straight and his expression became very serious.

As the president of Bright Fund, he has very clear information about the heads of major European financial groups and families.

Unexpectedly, the day before, he lamented that the Rothschild family had come out to take over Cerberus Capital Company at the mouth of the Morgan family.

The next day, the Francisco family came to compete with them for food!

You can take it lightly when watching the excitement, but it would be annoying if the same thing happened to you.

What's more, another subordinate just came to report another bad news to him.

The Wallenberg family came out and intervened in the acquisition battle of NatWest Bank by Bright Fund.

Two preys in a row were targeted by others, and they really thought that their Bright Fund was a fool!

Think of this.

George Berkeley's eyes flashed with cold light, and he ordered in a cold voice: "Curtis, since there are enemies blocking our plan, let's just use money to knock out all the shareholders of the Schroeder Group."

"Before the Schroeder family wakes up, grab as much equity as possible and go in forcefully."

"At that time, we will directly threaten Eric Schroeder. If he does not surrender, we would rather destroy the Schroeder Group. Whether we can afford this price depends on whether he can bear it!"

Curtis Dubois was shocked and his expression changed drastically. After hesitating for a moment, he asked: "President, if this is the case, our acquisition cost will be very high, and the losses will not be low."

George Berkeley was resolute and said without any doubt: "Just do as I say, and the losses incurred in the acquisition of Schroders will be made up from other places!"

A series of questions popped up in Curtis Dubois' mind, but he still didn't dare to ask about higher-level strategies. He took a deep breath and stood up and responded: "I understand, I'll do it now!"

After that, he immediately walked outside.

Watched Curtis Dubois leave and closed the door.

George Berkeley walked to the safe, operated it, took out a notebook and returned to his desk.

He quickly turned to the latest page.

It contains some information involving West Germany, Italy, Spain and other countries.

These are the instructions he and Xia Yu recorded before.

Before, he was still thinking about how to open up the situation.

He doesn't need to worry now, the enemy has already made a choice for him.

The Francisco family of Spain and the Wallenberg family of Sweden stood directly opposite them.

Although this is not a head-on conflict involving the foundation of the Bright Fund.

But at this time, those who stand on the side of the Rothschild family and take the initiative to compete with the Bright Fund are the enemies!

Soon, George Berkeley asked his secretary to convene a meeting of some personnel to discuss some strategies against these two forces.

Then, he dialed the encrypted satellite line to contact Xia Yu and reported the specific situation and his thoughts to Xia Yu.

"...Chairman, this is the specific situation. Please give me your instructions!"

In the office, George Berkeley covered the receiver and waited with bated breath.

"Just do it!"

After a few seconds, Xia Yu's light words came from the receiver, which made George Berkeley's smile completely widen.

"clear!"

The decisive and high-pitched voice echoed in the office...

:,!
