London, England.
George Berkeley was also keenly aware of the changing situation.
In addition, he received an order from Chairman Xia Yu.
He immediately called his subordinates to discuss the adjustment plan, and released the authority more vigorously, even if it would increase the cost!
But at this time, in order to complete the acquisition target as soon as possible, it is also not possible to 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 the Schroders Group had certain considerations.
In the past, more than 20 European institutions have cooperated to short the Xiangjiang capital market. Although Schroders Group is not the largest contributor, it is also in the first array.
And compared with other institutions, the Schroeder Group is also the most familiar with Xiangjiang, and can be called the vanguard of the Air Force regiment!
In 1971, Schroders Group established a subsidiary, Baoyuan Investment Management (Xiangjiang) Company, with the goal of being based in Hong Kong and radiating to Asia.
Relying on the complex network of relationships accumulated by the Schroders Group for more than 170 years, as well as its solid strength, Baoyuan Investment Management Co., Ltd. has developed rapidly.
Baoyuan Investment Management Co., Ltd. can be seen in the ranks of shareholders of major British-funded companies in Hong Kong and even many Chinese-funded companies.
For example, China Electric Power Company, which was acquired by Xia Yu before, is one of the major shareholders holding more than 5% of the shares.
In the past few years, when Xia Yu hunted the British consortium, he had a lot of dealings with Baoyuan Investment Management Company, and he also made a lot of money.
If there is no intervention from Xia Yu, then according to the normal trajectory, the capital managed by Baoyuan Investment Management Company in later generations will exceed 150 billion US dollars!
The amount of capital under management 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 in Asia have been occupied by the Jiuding Consortium.
As a result, the development of Baoyuan Investment Management Company has been affected.
However, it is undeniable that this subsidiary, which has been developing for more than ten years, still has a strong influence in Asia and is an important subsidiary of Schroders Group.
Baoyuan Investment Management Company is in the hands of the Schroeder family, but Xia Yu is not worried.
But if Schroders Group and Baoyuan Investment Management are taken over by the Rothschild family, or other top European families, then something can still be done.
Although it is impossible to give Xia Yu a big threat, it is okay to make Xia Yu upset enough to involve energy.
Therefore, Xia Yu naturally wanted to clean up such a hidden danger.
Of course, this is not the main reason why he is eyeing the Schroeder Group.
the main consideration.
It is the Schroeder Group that not only has a deep influence in the UK, but also has a considerable influence in West Germany.
After all, the Schroeder Group was first established in Hamburg, Germany.
Although the headquarters was later moved to the United Kingdom, the German market has not been abandoned.
It can be said that in Europe, the West German market is the second focus of the Schroders Group.
And this is what Xia Yu values most!
only.
For the acquisition of this company, the implementation was not so smooth.
Even if he did it, it was Curtis Dubois, the acquisition expert who successfully won the investment banking business of G·S·Warburg!
Curtis Dubois hurried to the outside of George Berkeley's office, knocked on the door and walked in.
George Berkeley in the house 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 breath, and said in a deep voice, "Yes, Eric Schroeder's attitude has changed dramatically."
"His resistance attitude was very firm before, but his attitude has softened today. I thought there was hope, but they were talking about some useless content."
"I noticed something was wrong, and it was only after an investigation that it turned out that there was a spoiler. Eric Schroeder met with Saran Francisco!"
"Now Salon Francisco is trying to buy the equity of Schroeder Group with the help of Eric Schroeder!"
George Berkeley sat up suddenly, his expression very serious.
As the president of Bright Fund, he is very clear about the helms of major European consortium families.
Unexpectedly, the day before, he also felt that the Rothschild family had come out, and in the mouth of the Morgan family, they had taken the Cerberos Capital Company.
The next day, the Francisco family came to grab food from them!
It's okay to take it lightly when watching the fun, but if the same thing happens to you, it's annoying.
What's more, another subordinate just came to report another bad news to him.
The Wallenberg family was killed and intervened in the Bright Fund's acquisition of the National Westminster Bank.
Two prey in a row are targeted by others, really think that their Bright Fund is muddy!
Think of this.
George Berkeley's eyes flickered with cold light, and he ordered coldly: "Curtis, since there are enemies blocking our plan, just use money to smash all the shareholders of Schroeder Group."
"Before the Schroeder family wakes up, try to get as much equity as possible and go in forcefully."
"At that time, directly threaten Eric Schroeder. If he does not surrender, we would rather destroy the Schroeder Group. If we can afford this price, it depends on whether he can afford it!"
Curtis Dubois froze in his heart, his face changed greatly, and after a moment of hesitation, he asked: "President, if this is the case, our acquisition cost will be very large, and the loss will not be low."
George Berkeley said with a firm attitude and said without doubt: "Just do as I say, the loss in the acquisition of Schroders Group will be recovered from other places!"
A series of questions popped up in Curtis Dubois's mind, but he still didn't dare to ask more about higher-level strategies. He took a deep breath and got up and replied, "I understand, I'll do it now!"
After all, he immediately went outside.
Watch Curtis Dubois leave and close the door.
George Berkeley walked to the safe, took out a notebook from it after some operations, and returned to his desk.
He quickly turned to the latest page.
The above records impressively some information involving West Germany, Italy, Spain and other countries.
These are the instructions he and Xia Yuhou recorded before.
Before, he was still thinking about how to open the situation.
Now he doesn't need to worry about it, the enemy has already made a choice for him.
The Francisco family in Spain, and the Wallenberg family in Sweden are directly opposed to them.
Although this is not a head-on conflict involving the foundation of the Bright Fund.
But during this time period, UU reading www. uukanshu.com stood on the side of the Roshir family and took the initiative to compete with the Bright Fund, that is the enemy!
Soon, George Berkeley asked the secretary to convene a meeting of some people to discuss some strategies against these two forces.
Then, he dialed the encrypted satellite line that contacted Xia Yu and reported the specific situation and his thoughts to Xia Yu.
"... Chairman, the specific situation is like this, please give instructions!"
In the office, George Berkeley covered the receiver and waited with bated breath.
"Let it go!"
After a few seconds, Xia Yu's light words came from the receiver, but George Berkeley's smile was completely stretched.
"clear!"
A decisive and high-pitched voice echoed in the office...
