Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

Chapter 1502 The financial war is coming!

In early February, Sweden has short days and long nights because it is located in the Arctic Circle.

After receiving a call from Andre Wallenberg.

Peter Wallenberg was so upset that he asked Scandinavian Airlines to arrange an expedited flight to take him back to Sweden.

Wait until you arrive home.

It was already Swedish time and it was completely dark at night, and all the lights were on.

When Peter Wallenberg's figure appeared in the castle, a group of people sitting in the magnificent hall all stood up.

"Peter, you are finally back!"

The leader, Andre Wallenberg, breathed a sigh of relief and called out.

Peter Wallenberg glanced around and found that all the core members of the family were present.

He didn't talk nonsense, and immediately found the vacant middle seat and sat down, and then said: "Andre, I didn't make it clear on the phone. Please tell me the specific situation."

"I won't go into details now. The specific situation is in this material. You will know it clearly after reading it."

"I gave one to everyone."

Andre Wallenberg said as he took a copy of the material from the table and handed it to Peter Wallenberg.

The latter was not verbose and started reading immediately after taking it.

Even if the others had already read it and it was not convenient to discuss it at this time, they took the materials and read them again. Unlike Peter Wallenberg, they stopped from time to time and frowned in thought.

After a long time.

Peter Wallenberg has finally read it all.

Seeing him raise his head, someone with a relatively impatient personality couldn't help but ask: "Peter, you already understand the situation. Now we should discuss how to deal with it."

"The situation has become obvious. Kirin Capital wants to attack our family in an all-round way."

"You're right, we must defeat the enemy, otherwise the entire Swedish financial order will collapse!"

"..."

When one person spoke, others expressed their opinions.

Peter Wallenberg listened silently, not knowing what he was thinking.

At this time.

Andre Wallenberg, who was sitting nearest, asked a very critical question: "Peter, how is the situation in your charge? What are the specific results of acquisitions and the amount of funds used?"

"It seems that the acquisition of NatWest Bank is not going well?"

The living room fell silent for an instant, and everyone's eyes focused on Peter Wallenberg.

Peter Wallenberg nodded slightly and sighed softly: "It really didn't go well."

"Currently we have acquired NatWest Bank 1 at a cost of £1.124 billion."

"The acquisition of 34.28% of the equity of Longao Asset Management Company in Geneva, Switzerland, cost US$389 million."

"There are also...equities in some companies, which cost a total of US$413 million."

"In U.S. dollars, the total is 2.495 billion U.S. dollars!"

After hearing this number, everyone quickly calculated based on the current exchange rate and came up with a rough number.

Over 16 billion Swedish kronor!

For the Wallenberg family, this is also a very huge amount of money!

What was taken out was real working capital!

"The acquisition didn't go smoothly. If we continue, we will need even more funds. This..."

Someone couldn't help but analyze in a low voice.

It’s okay to say there are no results.

For example, Longao Asset Management Company in Geneva, Switzerland, has acquired 34.28% of the equity, and has gained relative control.

As long as you continue to work harder, you don't need a complete merger or absolute control, you only need to hold more than 50% of the shares, which is definitely an exciting result for the Wallenberg family.

Just to continue to implement the strategy, we need real working capital.

But in the current situation, liquidity is very important.

Because no one knows how much money will be needed to resist the enemy's attack later.

"Everyone, please tell me about the assets you manage, especially the working capital. How much can you put out immediately, and how much can you raise in half a month."

Peter Wallenberg finally spoke up.

"I can raise 800 million Swedish kronor now, and I should be able to raise another 1 billion Swedish kronor in half a month without affecting the company's operations."

"What I can do now is..."

"..."

After everyone thought carefully, they all told the specific situation.

Peter Wallenberg wrote them down one by one.

After everyone finished speaking, he calculated two figures based on the situation of Yinruida Group and Nordic Bank, which he managed.

He did not hide anything and said directly to everyone: "According to statistics, our current liquidity should be 24.3 billion Swedish kronor, and we can raise another 2 gold in half a month."

"Of course, if we can capture and control the Swiss Geneva Longao Asset Management Company, then we can also have a relatively large source of funds."

These two figures are added to the more than 16 billion Swedish kronor already spent.

In other words, the Wallenberg family's capital mobilization ability within half a month can reach more than 10 billion U.S. dollars in U.S. dollars!

This strength is absolutely top-notch in Europe, and is completely in line with the strength and status of the Wallenberg family.

If we are more ruthless and sell our assets or take huge risks through mortgage lending, we will definitely be able to raise more funds.

However, Peter Wallenberg did not want to act like a strong man and cut off his wrist before he was almost at the end of his rope.

"Everyone already knows the amount of funds."

"Now that the family's strategic plan has progressed to a certain extent, let's talk about it. In this situation, how should we choose?"

After speaking, Peter Wallenberg glanced at everyone's faces, but found that no one spoke immediately.

"I think we should be cautious. In addition to continuing to acquire Longau Asset Management Company in Geneva, Switzerland, the acquisition of NatWest Bank has been temporarily suspended. We will wait until the situation in the UK becomes clear before making a decision. All other acquired equity shares will be sold. .”

"Then all the funds that have been transferred abroad will be brought back to the country first."

"After all, we all know that Qilin Capital in Xiangjiang raised HK$60 billion last month. In terms of working capital alone, even if we raise funds half a month later, we may not be able to match them."

"Of course, the premise is that Qilin Capital uses all the 60 billion Hong Kong dollars to deal with us."

"But we still have to consider the terrifying Jiuding Consortium behind Qilin Capital!"

One person has just finished speaking a long paragraph.

Another person immediately went on to say: "Yes, in addition we have to consider international hot money."

"Everyone should be able to imagine that once we fail to scare off Kirin Capital within a short period of time, other international hot money will pounce on us and bite us hard. At that time, we will be in even greater trouble."

"I think we have to prepare for the worse, which is to completely abandon the strategy of acquiring NatWest Bank. If we can truly take it into our hands and have the financial support of this bank, we will be more confident, but It is obvious that nothing can be done now. Rather than being stuck with 1.124 billion pounds of funds, it is better to exit in time and shrink back to protect ourselves.”

"I agree!"

"..."

"Andre, what's your opinion?"

After everyone else had finished talking, Peter Wallenberg looked at his brother next to him again.

"Let's prepare for the worst. Compared to developing, it's more important for us to defend our original assets."

"If Kirin Capital Company is allowed to infiltrate on a large scale, we will have a difficult life in the future."

"After all, we are still in a critical period at this time. The family's reform plan is only halfway through, and there are still many risks."

Andre Wallenberg expressed his opinion solemnly.

The reforms he mentioned began after Peter Wallenberg came to power in 1998, but they were only implemented in a drastic way last year. They are indeed very important to the Wallenberg family.

The results of the reform are also very significant.

Peter Wallenberg was silent for a moment and said slowly: "Since everyone's opinions are so unified, let me express my opinions."

“Acquisition of Longau Asset Management in Geneva, Switzerland continues.”

"The acquisition of NatWest Bank is on hold for the time being and I will act based on the opportunity later. If it is impossible, I will sell it."

"Other assets that have been acquired recently will be disposed of and all funds will be transferred back to the country."

"Everyone else has raised funds, and starting from tomorrow, Andre and I will take the central command to snap up the equity of our core companies from the stock market and hold on to our assets."

"Tonight, we will make detailed plans first, and at the same time try to make appointments with shareholders of some important companies to meet tomorrow."

"Do you have any comments?"

"No!" Everyone shook their heads.

Peter Wallenberg clenched his fists, suppressed his inner reluctance, and continued: "Okay, let's continue to discuss the detailed plan."

The lights in the Wallenberg family castle were not extinguished until the early morning.

the next day.

With the Wallenberg family's huge capital entering the market, the offensive and defensive war on the Stockholm stock market has begun!
