v3 Chapter 1368： 100 billion U.S. dollars of open interest guaranteed

"The most powerful hero of rebirth (!

"Unexpectedly, he would actually give this. Is this the way the Easterners make a betrothal gift?"

Duke Carter Howard could hardly think.

Xia Yu's betrothal gift is really too heavy!

It is an equity transfer agreement and a certificate of equity.

2.5% of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Group!

The Howard family holds 20% of the equity in the Rolls-Royce Motor Group. This asset has become one of the family's core assets!

The current Rolls-Royce Motor Group is the overlord of the British automotive industry and has long been firmly established as one of the world's top ten auto companies.

In Europe, only the Volkswagen Group in West Germany can compete head-on with the Rolls-Royce Motor Group. French and Italian cars must stand aside.

Although the Rolls-Royce Motor Group is not listed now.

But in terms of valuation, the Rolls-Royce Motor Group is worth at least 20 billion U.S. dollars!

Therefore, his current 2.5% equity is worth at least US$500 million!

The transfer price in the contract is one pound.

This price is just a situation.

This attitude of Xia Yu made Duke Carter Howard very pleased.

What he fancy is not the value of this equity, but the moral behind Xia Yu's offer.

At least it can be proved from the side that Xia Yu has a deep affection for Elena, his precious daughter will not marry the wrong person, and he did not look away.

"But I am not short of this equity..."

With a smile, Duke Carter Howard put it away, put it back in the gift box, and put it in his safe.

"It seems that I have to get a good understanding of the customs of oriental marriages in order to make a better decision."

"I can't be underestimated..."

…

That night, Xia Yu obviously felt that Duke Carter Howard's attitude towards him was much closer than in the afternoon, and he had the intention of treating him as a family member, and his words and deeds were more casual.

He didn't know if it was because Duke Carter Howard figured it out in the afternoon, or there was a betrothal gift to express his heart, or both.

But he didn't bother to think about it.

For him, Elena's more frequent and happy smile is the result he needs most.

After staying in Castle Howard for another day, Xia Yu spent another two days in the UK and sent invitations to some extremely important friends.

For example, Prince Philip, or Wu Hongyi.

Anyway, fewer people can receive his invitation.

As for how many people Duke Carter Howard wants to call, that is a matter of his own discretion.

After that, Elena stayed in the UK, Xia Yu took Elena’s private jet Tulip back to Xiangjiang, and the plane flew back to London.

During this time, Xia Yu is destined to be busy for marriage.

Li Qian is okay. Only one elder brother is a relative. There is no such trouble. The bride price prepared by Xia Yu is an 18% stake in Jiuding Book Group, which is worth 500 million US dollars.

But for Ho, Sumitomo Kumiko and Sandi, Xia Yu had to go there in person to show his sincerity.

The offer to He Jia is the shares of two companies that Xia Yu had previously acquired, namely the shares of Harrah’s Entertainment in the United States and William Hill in the United Kingdom.

They are 10% and 7% respectively.

These two companies are world gambling giants. The former was established in 1937 and the latter was established in 1934.

The acquisition of these two shares cost a total of US$500 million.

The dowry gift to the Sumitomo family is a copper mine worth US$500 million. There are too many minerals. A copper mine worth US$500 million cannot be simpler.

The gift to the Mellon family is an equity integrated in the various investment companies of Polaris Capital. Gulf Oil has a 4.85% equity and is valued at 500 million U.S. dollars.

In this regard, Xia Yu is a bowl of water and smooth.

Although in the process of his rise, the Howard family has played the most help, without the help of the Howard family, he would not have been able to lay such a large foundation in the UK so smoothly.

Compared with the Howard family, the He family, the Sumitomo family and the Mellon family are far behind.

But in this life, including the past, present and future, he is still young and the future is full of uncertainty.

These families belong to the family, and the individual belongs to the individual. Xia Yu has a steelyard in his heart.

How much help these families can give him in the future is the future.

At least after Sumitomo Kumiko, Sandi and others marry him, the first identity is his family, and the second identity is the clan members of their respective families.

In this way, he expressed his non-discriminatory attitude.

After successfully hiring one by one and sending invitations to my friends, I returned to Xiangjiang again, which was already May 15th.

There will be more than one month left before his wedding.

Preparing for the wedding is very cumbersome, but fortunately, at Xia Yu's current class, there is no shortage of resources and manpower, and he does not feel too tired, but enjoys it.

Even, he still has time to deal with important matters.

For example, urge the Bright Fund to compete strongly for the privatization of shares of British Aerospace Corporation and British Gas.

For example, the North Star Capital Company was instructed to compete with General Motors, to compete for the Hughes Aircraft Company, and to set foot in the US defense and military industries.

Of course, there is one more important thing.

That is oil!

…

"Chairman, this is the collected details of the international oil market."

This afternoon, when Xia Yu was resting at home, Huo Jianning came to report to his work.

"Jianning, sit down and say."

"Okay, thank you Chairman."

"What is the latest international oil price?"

"Chairman, the highest international crude oil price today is US$27.85 a barrel."

"In the past month, international crude oil prices have fluctuated in the range of US$27-28 a barrel, which is relatively stable."

After Xia Yu asked, Huo Jianning immediately replied.

"What about the entire market analysis?"

Xia Yu smiled slightly, then asked again, and after speaking, he stripped an inspiration and threw it into his mouth.

"The average global oil consumption last month was 57.82 million barrels per day, and the oil economy is still relatively weak."

"Of this consumption, oil consumption in developed countries and regions accounted for 75.25%, reaching 43.51 million barrels per day, while developing countries accounted for 24.75%."

"Research and analysis shows that high oil prices have led to a decline in oil consumption in developed countries and regions, and the market is still sluggish..."

"It's just that high oil prices have weakened OPEC's oil market pricing power. Countries such as Europe and the United States are already expanding the output of domestic and Latin American oil fields. There are great opinions within OPEC, especially in Saudi Arabia..."

As Huo Jianning talked, the smile on Xia Yu's face increased.

It seems that although his influence is great, it still has no influence on the general situation of the global economy.

This is just right!

"By the way, Jianning, how many gas stations does Pacific Petroleum have now?"

Huo Jianning continued to report: "Chairman, in the past six months, according to your will, Pacific Petroleum has been continuously acquiring gas stations. Now the total number of gas stations of directly affiliated companies has reached 3420, of which Europe is the most densely populated. There are 2,270, 1026 in North America and 124 in Asia."

"In Asia, Hong Kong has 36 companies. We acquired the gas stations of Chevron, Texaco and Mobile Petroleum, and then built 4 new gas stations. At present, Hong Kong has 4 gas stations, including Pacific Petroleum. Brand, Pacific Oil occupies half of the retail market."

"We have 12 gas stations in Omen, and we have only one brand."

"The remaining 76 gas stations are distributed in various countries in Southeast Asia."

"Not bad!"

Xia Yu said with satisfaction.

"Jianning, you can write it down."

"In the next year, strive to expand the number of gas stations to 10,000. This is the goal of the retail market."

"Secondly, all investment companies are ordered to close their long oil futures positions, and UU reading will short international crude oil futures in all directions."

"With leverage, the position must be at least 100 billion U.S. dollars. The specific guarantee share will be allocated by you according to the strength of each company. Each investment company can play freely on its own basis. It must be before July. Fully completed."

"Just these requirements, do you have anything to ask?"

After Huo Jianning finished memorizing it, he read what he had recorded, shook his head and said, "No, I have memorized it clearly."

"That's it, you go to make arrangements right away, and give me a detailed result after completion."

"Yes!"
