Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

"Peter, have you ever calculated the minimum amount of funds we need now?"

"In other words, based on our family's current equity holdings in various companies, how much more money is needed to reduce risks?"

Andre Wallenberg thought for a while and asked the key question that everyone was concerned about.

"That's a hard question to answer!"

Peter Wallenberg said with a frown.

But he also realized that he really needed to have more intuitive data on the demand for funds, otherwise it would affect strategic decisions.

After thinking for a long time, he suddenly had an idea.

"Wait a mininute."

After he said that, he suddenly got up to look for something.

He came back after a while, holding a book in his hand.

Then he took out the paper and started writing.

Andre Wallenberg, who sat next to him, watched quietly.

abb company, currently holds 31.34% of the shares, stock price 47.85

Astra Pharmaceuticals, currently holding 234...

Ericsson currently holds 32.69% of the shares, and its stock price...

Atlas Copco currently holds 24.39% of the shares...

Electrolux currently holds 28.28% of the shares...

Volvo Group currently holds 26.97% of the shares...

Saab Defense currently holds 35.19% of the shares...

Stora Paper Company currently holds 34.21% of the shares...

…

Ten minutes passed

Several pieces of paper were covered with dense data and information.

After writing this.

Peter Wallenberg once again estimated the amount of capital needed based on shareholdings.

At this point.

After just estimating the capital requirements of a dozen listed companies, his face turned ugly and he stopped writing and stopped calculating.

"Everyone, let's take a look!"

As he spoke, he circulated the information to everyone.

Everyone looked at each other in silence after seeing it.

Even if they haven't calculated everything, they can still make a rough estimate based on their shareholdings, latest stock price, and expected future stock price position.

If all these fifty companies want to keep it.

No!

Even if those core companies and medium and large companies want to maintain their holdings, even if they only increase their shareholding ratio to 50%, the capital requirements will be conservatively over 100 billion Swedish kronor.

This amount of funds is too large.

Without asset financing, the Wallenberg family had no choice but to find someone to lend money to.

As for the current situation in Europe, if you want to borrow money, you should not even think about borrowing huge amounts of money. Even if there is collateral, it cannot be borrowed in a short time.

The current liquid cash of more than 20 billion Swedish krona has been spent more than 8 billion, and there is still more than 150 billion left.

Within half a month, another 29 billion Swedish kronor will be raised.

The total amount is only over 40 billion Swedish kronor.

Not even half of the demand is met!

"Obviously, there is no need for us to hesitate, let's give up the NatWest acquisition and try to get as much money as possible."

"We have three options."

"The first is to fight to the death with the Bright Consortium, sell our equity to the Rothschild family or other hostile forces of the Bright Consortium, and let them continue to fight."

"The second is that we use this as a bargaining chip to sue for peace with the Bright Consortium and ask its ally Qilin Capital to withdraw from Sweden."

"The third is to sell the equity to other forces, whoever bids the highest price will sell it to them, and then we will drive off Kirin Capital."

These three choices are in front of us, but it is difficult to choose...

And actually.

There is not much time left for the Wallenberg family to choose.

Because in the United Kingdom, after three days, the acquisition of NatWest Bank has become an event of national concern.

have to say.

The media empire that Xia Yu spent so much effort and capital to build is definitely unparalleled in strength.

The Times, the Daily Telegraph, the Daily Mirror, the Daily Record and other major national newspapers are all advocating that the merger of Royal Bank of Scotland and NatWest is a Good thing.

The circulation of British print media controlled by Xia Yu alone accounts for 52% of the circulation of national newspapers in the UK and 31% of the circulation of local newspapers.

His own power alone accounts for more than half of the media, and some of the other media are also controlled by allies, or they themselves support it.

In terms of TV stations and radio stations, after several years of accumulation, the Bright Consortium is also in a dominant position.

Under the combination of the two.

Public opinion cannot change the world at all!

The trend of public opinion is completely moving in a direction that the Rothschild family does not want to see.

So the most important thing is to see how the British government makes decisions.

therefore.

It was inconvenient for Xia Yu to come forward, and it was also inconvenient for George Berkeley to come forward.

Xia Yu asked his father-in-law, Carter Howard, who was also an ally of the Guangming Consortium, to take action.

Friday night.

Two Rolls-Royces rolled into Margaret Thatcher's yard after she returned home from get off work in Downing Street.

Immediately afterwards, the bodyguard opened the car door and Duke Carter Howard got out of the car.

"Good evening, Ms. Margaret!"

"Duke of Norfolk, welcome to your arrival. Come and sit in the room."

"..."

The two elderly men shook hands and exchanged greetings, then walked into the house together, with the bodyguard following behind carrying some gifts.

After entering the house, I met Margaret Thatcher's husband and children, greeted them again, and gave them small gifts.

Then, in order to discuss things more conveniently, the two went straight upstairs to the study.

"Ms. Margaret, the general election for the House of Commons will be held in June. There are less than four months left before the general election. Is the Conservative Party ready?"

After Margaret Thatcher's husband served coffee to the two of them, Duke Carter Howard asked with a smile.

Margaret Thatcher spread her hands helplessly: "I would like to say that we are ready, but our opponents are pressing forward step by step. No one can tell until the end."

"You know, the Labor Party led by Neil Jinnock has changed its direction and slowly moved towards a more centrist policy platform, but the direction is still the main progressive line of the center left, which has many supporters."

"David Owen of the Social Democrats and David Steel of the Liberal Party are both strong-armed leaders. Although the strength of the two parties is weak, there is a vague intention to form a joint coalition to form a cabinet."

“We as Conservatives face so many challenges!”

Carter Howard nodded and replied: "Indeed, the Conservative Party has been under the leadership for almost two terms. The novelty of the people has passed, and the uncertainty is indeed relatively high."

"But I think, Ms. Margaret, you have many friends. As long as everyone continues to support the Conservative Party, I think the probability of the Conservative Party winning the third election will not be low."

"Again, the Conservative campaign focused on lowering tax rates, a strong economic and defense policy, and the unemployment rate this year has dropped to 1 below 30,000, while the inflation rate is around 4%, standing at the lowest level in nearly 20 years .”

"As long as the people see the feasibility of your policies and the support from various important industries, I think they will know how to cast their votes."

Margaret Thatcher's eyes flashed and she smiled: "Duke Carter, which industries do you think are more important to support, and how should they be supported?"

Carter Howard smiled and replied: "If the economy wants to develop, it must rely on high turnover and flow of funds, so the importance of the financial industry bears the brunt."

"In the financial industry, banking is the core and most basic part."

"I can come forward and get HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank, Barings Bank, Lloyds Bank, Royal Bank of Scotland, Chinese Commercial Bank and NatWest Bank to announce lower loan interest rates to support the government's economic construction plan."

Of the seven major British national banks mentioned by Carter Howard, the first six either belong to the Bright Consortium or are in the same camp as the Bright Consortium.

Only NatWest is not!

Carter Howard can't make the decision at all now, but he said it here, and the meaning is self-evident.

As long as NatWest is captured, all seven banks will be able to give the Conservative Party a powerful boost!

Margaret Thatcher took a sip of coffee, looked at Carter Howard with a wry smile and said, "Sir Carter, you have posed a problem for me."

Carter Howard immediately smiled and said: "This is not a problem. The British banking industry also needs strong support from the government, and then go to the world and absorb nutrients from the world to build Britain."

Margaret Thatcher thought for a long time and nodded: "The UK really needs stronger banks to compete with the banking giants of various countries..."

The smile on Carter Howard's face suddenly brightened.

ps: I have read everyone’s opinions, and they have indeed inspired me a lot, but most of them cannot be used immediately, so I will record them first and adjust the application later. I have also checked a lot of information in the past two days and reviewed them again. The plot has been revealed, please continue reading!
