Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

"Mr. Harry, I have two data to tell you. I think you must be very interested."

"Speaking!"

Harry Oppenheimer said expressionlessly.

"Our Bright Fund now holds 34.78% and 37.47% of the shares of De Beers respectively."

George Berkeley said these words lightly.

Two are very simple data.

But when it fell into the ears of Harry Oppenheimer and Gavin Reilly, it was like thunder.

Harry Oppenheimer's face trembled, his face suddenly became solemn, and his cloudy eyes became clear and sharp, staring straight at George Berkeley, as if he wanted to see through his heart.

George Berkeley smiled and looked at him calmly.

a long time.

Harry Oppenheimer slowly asked: "Mr. George, did you buy the equity held by the Rhodes family and the Morgan family?"

"Yes!" George Berkeley gave him an affirmative answer.

Harry Oppenheimer took a breath, and then let out a long breath, but the hand holding the crutch continued to exert force, which showed that he was extremely uneasy inside.

"Mr. Harry, what can we do with our current shareholding ratio?"

Without waiting for Harry Oppenheimer's answer.

George Berkeley continued: "Of course, if you think about it another way, when our equity and your equity are added up, how much effect can it have?"

"For example, completely kick out the Rothschild family!"

Jarvan Reilly, who was next to Harry Oppenheimer, was extremely restless. He wanted to say something but was afraid of saying the wrong thing, so he could only look at his father-in-law frequently.

Harry Oppenheimer said slowly: "Mr. George, although you have a high shareholding ratio in De Beers and South Africa's Anglo American, you should know that you cannot take away the control of these two companies. "

"I have this confidence."

The Oppenheimer family holds 31% of the largest shareholder of Anglo American in South Africa. De Beers holds 10.54% of the shares. Because De Beers is also controlled by the Oppenheimer family, the Oppenheimer family has a strong interest in Anglo American in South Africa. Voting rights reached 41.6%.

Moreover, the Rothschild family also holds 7.4% of the Bright Fund and will only stand with the Oppenheimer family, so the total amount reaches 48.09%.

Although it is still a little short of more than 50%, South Africa's Anglo American is a listed company, so it is destined that Bright Fund will not be the first to reach more than 50% of its shares.

Without a majority, the shareholders' meeting cannot be controlled, the board of directors cannot be re-elected, and Jarvan Reilly cannot be ousted from his position as chairman of Anglo American South Africa.

This is especially true for De Beers.

South Africa's Anglo American holds 35.27% of the shares, and the Rothschild family's shareholding directly reached 51.3%.

This is the benefit of cross-shareholdings, controlling more companies with less capital.

Of course, George Berkeley also knew these situations.

He came today because he wanted to take advantage of the Oppenheimer family, use the power of the consortium to crush them, and force Harry Oppenheimer to bow his head.

George Berkeley smiled, as if he didn't care.

He glanced at his watch, and the smile on his face grew brighter.

Then, without any further concealment, he raised his left hand and looked at his watch in front of Harry Oppenheimer and Jarvan Reilly.

Then he said leisurely: "Mr. Harry, I can't take it away, but you should understand that even if you successfully prevent some things, you have actually lost."

Harry Oppenheimer frowned, savoring the profound meaning of George Berkeley's words, and at the same time, he was quickly thinking about the meaning of his action of looking at his watch just now.

Just when there was a stalemate in the house.

outside the house.

George Berkeley's assistant who did not follow him kept staring at his watch. When he saw the second hand reaching the 12 mark, he suddenly looked up in the direction of the room.

One second, two seconds...five seconds.

Make sure George Berkeley really didn't call him in.

He immediately dialed the number he dialed half an hour ago on Brick's phone.

As soon as I called, the call was connected immediately.

He said without any nonsense: "Need help!"

"ok!"

Only one word came back from the phone, and then the order was placed.

The assistant, who had been tense for half an hour, breathed a sigh of relief and looked in the direction of the room again.

…

"Mr. Harry, the situation in Europe has been going on for some time. You should be able to see that the Rothschild family is no match for us."

"Why do you keep standing on their leaky boat?"

"In this era, we, the Bright Consortium, are the trendsetters!"

George Berkeley said the last words with a proud look on his face.

He just finished speaking.

"Dong dong dong..."

A series of very clear ringtones rang.

The three of them followed the sound.

The cell phone that Jarvan Reilly carried rang.

He picked it up and looked at it, thought for two seconds and hung up.

But within two seconds, it rang again.

At this time, Jarvan Reilly frowned.

George Berkeley smiled and made a gesture of invitation: "Mr. Jiawen, it seems that you are in a hurry. We have enough time. You might as well answer the call."

Harry Oppenheimer realized something was wrong, took a deep look at George Berkeley, then nodded slightly and motioned for Gavin Reilly to pick him up.

Without saying anything, Jarvan Reilly stood up and walked to the side with his cell phone, pressing the answer button at the same time.

"What?"

After listening to a few words, Jarvan Reilly stopped in his tracks, couldn't help but let out a low cry, and then quickly turned around to look at George Berkeley.

At this moment George Berkeley looked at him with a smile.

Guarantee!

It was the Bright Fund that did it!

Jarvan Reilly was extremely angry and clenched his fists subconsciously. He listened quietly to what was said on the other end of the phone. Then he didn’t ask any more questions and just said, “Everyone evacuates first and pay attention to safety.”

Then hung up the phone.

Then, he came over again.

George Berkeley said with a smile: "Mr. Jiawen, it seems that you are in trouble. Do you need our help?"

Gavin Reilly resisted the urge to punch George Berkeley in the face and said coldly: "No need."

"I wanted to tell my father something."

After speaking, he helped Harry Oppenheimer up, and the two walked aside and whispered.

George Berkeley didn't say anything. He took a sip of coffee, frowned slightly, and waved to the waiter in the waiting area: "This cup of coffee is cold. Make me another cup."

…

"Father, I just received a call from Africa. There was a sudden attack by armed men at the Richard Bay Coal Mine, resulting in a large-scale gas explosion. The situation is now very serious. I have arranged for a temporary evacuation of personnel."

Jarvan Reilly looked extremely angry and his voice was low.

The Richards Bay Coal Mine is a giant coal mine in South Africa and the largest coal mine developed by Anglo American in South Africa.

There is also the Richards Bay Coal Terminal there. Because of this good location and the rich resources nearby, the Richards Bay Coal Terminal has become one of the largest coal terminals in the world.

"It must have been them again, they have already arranged it."

"I know!" Harry Oppenheimer looked gloomy.

It's obvious. When George Berkeley looked at the time just now, it meant that the time was up.

Before their discussion, George Berkeley had made arrangements, intending to force them to bow their heads in this way.

This method is very familiar, because not only he has used it, but also all the powerful countries in Europe have used it.

The results of negotiations are never achieved at the negotiation table, but are decided on the battlefield.

It's just that he has done this before, but he didn't expect that this time he would experience the role of the weaker side.

"Father, what should we do?"

Jarvan Reilly asked in a low voice.

Harry Oppenheimer was silent for a long time and said slowly: "Let's go back and talk."

Although he didn't say anything else, Jarvan Reilly felt a lot disappointed in an instant. He knew that his father-in-law had compromised.

Even if he was unwilling to do so, he had to admit that bowing his head was indeed the better choice.

The two men returned to their positions.

Harry Oppenheimer looked at George Berkeley and said, "Mr. George, you win."

"We can work together, but there has to be a limit."

"I want to hear your terms."

George Berkeley smiled: "The conditions for cooperation are very simple. After all, we are friends."

"We don't need Anglo American South Africa, but we have to work together to clean out the Rothschild family."

"As for De Beers, we need it!"

"Not the second one!" Harry Oppenheimer said without hesitation.

But George Berkeley said in an unquestionable tone: "No, the second one must do!"

Harry Oppenheimer and George Berkeley looked at each other for a long time, and finally compromised. He sighed: "Okay."

“But De Beers’ stake in South Africa’s Anglo American needs to be taken over by us.”

"No, De Beers will only transfer half of its equity to you!"

George Berkeley refused without hesitation. When Harry Oppenheimer wanted to argue, he said in advance, "But if the Rothschild family withdraws, the 7.4 they hold will take over."

This is a tough one!

However, considering that Bright Fund holds 37.47% of the shares of Anglo American in South Africa, De Beers holds 10.54% of the shares, which is half and half.

So if he wants to regain his position as the largest shareholder, he must get the shares of the Rothschild family, otherwise he will not feel at ease.

Even though this will be difficult, it will make the conflict between the Oppenheimer family and the Rothschild family even greater.

And this is exactly what the Bright Consortium needs.

so.

Harry Oppenheimer compromised once again and said solemnly: "Okay."

George Berkeley raised his lips slightly and continued: "Then we can talk about the 35.27% stake in De Beers held by South Africa's Anglo American Company."

…

Another negotiation.

In the end, the equity was transferred to Bright Fund for a price of 127 million pounds.

Because the equity is held by South Africa's Anglo American, the 127 million pounds of funds went into South Africa's Anglo American.

Considering that Bright Fund is currently the largest shareholder of South Africa's Anglo American Resources, Bright Fund did not actually spend 100 million pounds.

Later, the Oppenheimer family would need to take over the 5.27% stake in South Africa's Anglo American held by De Beers, which would cost a fortune.

Been busy all morning.

The contract was finally signed, and the moment he put it away, Harry Oppenheimer felt very uncomfortable.

De Beers didn't belong to him before, and even though he controlled it for decades, he still lost it in the end.

"Mr. Harry, happy to cooperate!"

"I believe that with the joining of South Africa's Anglo American, we will have a stronger influence on the world's ore market."

Before leaving, George Berkeley shook hands with Harry Oppenheimer again and said with a smile.

Hearing this, Harry Oppenheimer was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "That's for sure."

Thinking about the current situation of global ore prices, Harry Oppenheimer felt better.

The prices of various ores and futures have been manipulated, causing Anglo American South Africa to suffer a lot. This hard life is finally over.

He also has a deep understanding of the control that the Bright Consortium and its allies have over the global mining industry.

If you think about it carefully, although De Beers has been lost, South Africa's Anglo American has joined the oligarch alliance and will gain more benefits in the future.

It is entirely possible to make up for the losses and even make more money.

However, Anglo American South Africa must be firmly in its hands and cannot be robbed anymore...

After returning to the company with the results of victory.

George Berkeley immediately called Xia Yu to announce the good news.

Xia Yu happened to be handling official business in the office, and couldn't help laughing after receiving the good news.

"George, you've done a good job. Let's publicize it immediately. At the same time, we will increase our attack on the London gold market and put more pressure on the Rothschild family..."

"At the same time, De Beers is also in control. The Rothschild family still holds shares and their equity will be diluted."

"Okay boss, I will follow your instructions..."

After finishing the call with George Berkeley, Xia Yu stood up, stretched, chuckled and said to himself: "With the victory over De Beers, I now control more than 90% of the world's diamond field."

"In the future, Canada's diamond mines will also be in my hands. As long as the Hongsu diamond mine is completed, there will never be a competitor in this market, haha..."

Xia Yu couldn't help but feel speechless when he thought that he was a victim of a diamond scam in his previous life, but in this life he had to cast his shadow over men all over the world.

Shaking his head slightly, he left the big toy behind, and then thought of the Oppenheimer family and South Africa's Anglo American Corporation.

Although South Africa's Anglo American is a top resource company.

But for Xia Yu, it was not indispensable. Although he once wanted to hold it in his hands, after thinking about it carefully, he gave up and chose to separate the Oppenheimer family and the Rothschild family.

With the current shareholding ratio of Bright Fund in South Africa's Anglo American, as long as the Oppenheimer family is reversed, control or not will not mean much.

Compared to weakening the Rohirrim, there is absolutely no comparison.
