Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

Compared to other continents. Countries in South America were the first countries to be colonized.

As early as 1500, Portugal came to Brazil with strong ships and cannons, and Spain also arrived in the American continent in the 15th century.

Portugal established a viceroyalty in Brazil, while Spain established one in Peru. Since then, Spain and Portugal have started a process of helping and killing each other in South America. After a series of battles.

The final result was that Brazil was occupied by Portugal. All countries, including Argentina, Peru, Chile, etc., were colonized by Spain.

Even though various countries in South America have become independent one after another after World War II, the traces of hundreds of years of colonization have penetrated into various parts of South America.

It can be said that it is pervasive in fields such as culture, system, economy and so on. This cannot be worn away in decades.

And in the banking sector. As the largest bank in Spain, it is also the largest external bank. Bilbao Vizcaya Bank has a profound influence in South America. It is one of the top banks in many countries, and even the largest bank in some countries.

And in terms of assets. The total assets of Bilbao Vizcaya Bank in various countries in South America have reached 2 to 40% of the entire Bilbao Vizcaya Bank!

According to the latest issue of The Banker magazine’s ranking of the top 100 global banks. Bilbao Vizcaya Bank ranks 3rd in the world

Fargo Bank, ranked No. 1 in the world, has only reached a total assets of 2

this means. If Bilbao Vizcaya Bank's banking assets in South America were separated separately, it would be able to break into the top 100 banks in the world.

And in fact. Bilbao Vizcaya's assets in South America are indeed one of the two pillars of Bilbao Vizcaya.

Another root is undoubtedly its assets in Spain. Bilbao Vizcaya Bank is the core financial platform of the Francisco family. Of course, Saren Francisco will hold it tightly in his hands and will pay attention to it as soon as there is any trouble.

Especially during this time, wars were raging in the European capital community, and he was also involved. What's more, after seeing many allies, especially after the fire broke out in the Wallenberg family's backyard, he also stepped up his efforts to investigate his own situation, and also sensed that the danger was approaching.

only. There are always people who better than you. His reaction had long been calculated by Xia Yu and Guangming Consortium.

"Sun Tzu's Art of War" says that the fundamental principles of attack are, first, the importance of troops and speed, and second, to attack the enemy's key points.

Saren Francisco has the confidence to confront the Bright Consortium and dare to snatch the prey of the Schroeder Group. His biggest reliance is Bilbao Vizcaya Bank.

Just different from other companies. Under the operation of Saren Francisco's uncle who has ruled Spain for decades, even though Bilbao Vizcaya Bank has been listed, the Francisco family still holds a cumulative shareholding of 58.64%.

Taking into account the nature of Bilbao Vizcaya Bank as a listed company. There was no possibility that outsiders could threaten the Francisco family's rule over Bilbao Vizcaya.

Most of Xia Yu's methods that he had used well in the past were ineffective in front of him, and it was also difficult to use funds-crushing sniping and acquisitions.

But this does not mean that Xia Yu is helpless. Based on this situation. From the beginning, the intention was to target Bilbao Vizcaya Bank, the money bag of the Francisco family.

Xia Yu never thought of sniping head-on in Spain, but aimed at the South American branch that was beyond Saren Francisco's reach.

After nearly two months of preliminary preparation. Following Xia Yu's order. The action finally begins. … As president of Brooke Gascole’s South America region, Brooke Gascole feels this is his lucky year.

Since the Latin American sovereign debt crisis, the economic development of South American countries has fallen into a quagmire. As the heart of economic development, the banking industry has inevitably been the most affected.

not to mention. As the top bank in South America, Banco Bilbao Vizcaya certainly suffered a lot from the Latin American sovereign debt crisis.

In the past few years, he has been so busy that he often cannot sleep at night, let alone have time to relax, which has led to him almost forgetting his sea fishing skills.

Fortunately, entering 1 is a good time. In Argentina, Peru, Chile, Uruguay and other countries, the original big savers seem to have come out of the quagmire and ushered in the second spring of economic development. The funds in the accounts opened in the Bilbao Vizcaya Bank are booming. rise.

Not only that. Branches in various places also reported good news frequently. The largest piece of business came from the Argentine branch in mid-January, which directly attracted a deposit of US$520 million from The Coca-Cola Company.

It is reported that the Coca-Cola Company is preparing to invest heavily in South America to expand production. It has taken a fancy to the influence of Bilbao Vizcaya Bank in South America and is preparing to ask Bilbao Vizcaya Bank to assist in a series of acquisitions. and implementation of business strategy.

With a large amount of liquidity in hand, Brooke Gascoll certainly cannot let it sit idle. After all, this money has to pay interest, even if it is a temporary deposit, the interest rate is very low.

therefore. Funds must flow quickly and be loaned out. After research by a think tank, Bilbao Vizcaya Bank directly and significantly reduced the loan interest rate, which actually snatched a group of customers and increased Bilbao Vizcaya Bank's market share in South America.

The only thing that frustrated Brook Gascoll was that the domestic headquarters knew that his side was developing rapidly and directly transferred US$1.5 billion in working capital.

If the US$1.5 billion in funds are not transferred away, he is confident that Bilbao Vizcaya's share of the loan market will be greatly increased.

With work going well, Brooke Gascoll naturally has more time to relax. He also picked up the sea fishing skills that he had not practiced for many years. For this reason, he even bought a few pairs of sea poles with higher technological content, and often went fishing on the sea on his private yacht.

"It looks like this grouper must be at least fifty pounds. It's definitely the biggest grouper I've caught this year."

"Haha, Jack, help quickly!" After fierce pulling, as the fishing line continued to be retracted, a huge grouper finally surfaced. After seeing the size of this grouper, Brooke Gasco You couldn't help but be overjoyed and shouted hurriedly.

The assistant beside him immediately took the tool and found the opportunity to hit it with one blow, hooking up the big grouper.

"Hurry up and take a picture of me with my camera. I have to keep it as a souvenir!" Brooke Gascoll, still panting after unhooking the fishhook, said with a laugh, the smile on his face was unknown. brilliant.

at this time. Brooke Gaskell's secretary walked out quickly from the inner compartment of the yacht, holding a satellite version of Motorola mobile phone in his hand, with a trace of panic on his face.

"President, I have some bad news." Brooke Gascoll, who was happily preparing to take photos, frowned and said unhappily: "If you have anything else, please wait until I finish taking photos."

"President, we are really urgent. We have to go back immediately. We just received a call from President York in Argentina. The Coca-Cola Company wants to withdraw all the 520 million US dollars in deposits in our bank, but President York cannot get the money! "The secretary said the information in one breath.

"What?"

"Bang!" Brooke Gaskell's surprised voice was accompanied by the sound of a grouper hitting the deck.

The other people on the yacht also fell silent instantly...
