Chapter 926 The Crazy Anglo-Asian Investment Company

At Merrill Lynch's London headquarters in Western Europe, Dampier Worthy, president of Merrill Lynch's Western European affairs, has been quite troubled these days.

This time, their California consortium is preparing to acquire the British National Steel Company and British European Airlines to expand their industries in Europe.

Unexpectedly, this acquisition encountered a strong opponent, and a person named Yingya Investment Company was also in contact with this group to discuss the acquisition.

Their Merrill Lynch Western Europe headquarters has been in London for many years, and they can be regarded as local snakes here. The reason why they bought these two companies is because they are large in size, and there is no consortium and power ready to buy them yet.

Although the Li's consortium was coming aggressively, according to the information he received, Li Guangyu's main targets this time were gas, water and electricity companies, and he had no plans to buy steel companies and British European Airlines.

He had never heard of this Yingya Investment Company before. How could a company that popped up suddenly have such a strong ability to acquire this company.

In order to know himself and the enemy, he specially arranged for the company personnel to learn more about the company, so that he can better deal with the next thing.

Dampier Worthy, who was racking his brains over this matter, heard the knock on the door, and he came back to his senses and said, "Please come in."

Lisa McGraw, the general manager of the administrative department of Western Europe Forestry, walked in and said: "Worthy, the investigation of Yingya Investment Company has made some progress. This company is very crazy, not only for our fancy There are two companies making takeovers, but there are also Petroleum, Rolls-Royce, British Aerospace, water, gas and electricity companies that are among their targets."

Listening to Lisa McGraw's report, Dampier Worthy felt that this investment company was a lunatic. Where did they get so much capital? , is also very difficult.

Although their consortium has strong assets, they are just assets, and it is very difficult for them to spend hundreds of billions of dollars at once.

This little-known company actually wants to swallow up several major companies in England this time. He has such a big appetite. Even Morgan and Rockefeller don't have such courage.

He asked: "Which force is behind this company, have they investigated clearly? Such an acquisition plan cannot be achieved by ordinary forces, not even the California consortium that Merrill Lynch is backed by."

Lisa McGraw responded: "The president of this investment company is a British national. Through our investigation, he used to work under the Duke of Westminster and was a very important talent. The nobility are inextricably linked."

Worthy knows the Duke very well. Merrill Lynch has also cooperated with him, but based on his understanding of the Duke of Westminster, he is not such a crazy person, and their financial resources are not enough to eat it all at once. These groups.

There must be other forces involved here. Before we got in touch, there were rumors that the Li Consortium was discussing cooperation with some nobles in England. Could there be Li Guangyu's hands and feet in it.

As for Li Guangyu, the rather young founder and head of the consortium, he really didn't know if Li Guangyu would do something crazy.

He asked McGraw: "Has the Li's consortium made any moves these days? What are Li Guangyu and the high-level officials he brought here doing?"

"The Li consortium has been very low-key since we started to acquire the Yinglun industry. It stopped contact with various companies. The day before yesterday, Li Guangyu even sent his own special plane to send some high-level executives back to Xiangjiang. At present, he is only surrounded by him. Assistant and the person in charge of England.

These days, he was also visiting his properties. It is estimated that after knowing our intervention, he knew how to advance and retreat, so he chose to give up strategically. "

Dampier Worthy didn't believe that Li Guangyu gave up the acquisition of the British property so easily. There must be a monster if something goes wrong. Li Guangyu's low profile this time is not in line with his usual practice.

The development of Li's consortium over the years has already posed some threats to major consortiums in the United States. Tianyu Financial Group is still a mystery to the outside world. No one knows how much assets this group has, and Li Guangyu How much liquidity do you have.

Last year there was news from Wall Street that before the Plaza Accord, there was a huge amount of funds entering the market, a large part of which did not know the source, but some of the small stocks still let them find clues, Xiangjiang Bank of East Asia, which is one of the Xiangjiang consortium Bank of.

The Lee Consortium is also one of the Xiangjiang Consortiums, but the Li Consortium is too large to be listed separately, just like First Citigroup and Rockefeller.

Since the Xiangjiang consortium has already entered the market, how could the Li family consortium not enter the market? The huge sum of money is likely to belong to the Li family consortium and the Xiangjiang consortium.

During this period of time, the Li's consortium has not invested heavily, and Li Guangyu must have a large amount of money in his hands. Now that the American consortium is involved, Li Guangyu will retreat like this. He does not believe it.

Li Guangyu has never been afraid of their American consortium. When he was not too strong, the Texas consortium wanted him to be a member of the Texas consortium. Li Guangyu refused without hesitation, which shows Li Guangyu's ambition.

In the past two years, even in the U.S. market, they have spared no room for suppression of the U.S. auto industry and Motorola. Now Motorola is regretting provoking this lunatic.

In the U.S. mobile phone market, now it is really small profits but high sales. In the past, a mobile phone could earn more than 1000 US dollars, but now it is not bad to earn [-] US dollars.

Lanfeng Mobile, a joint venture between Phoenix Mobile and Miss Foremost Group in California, quickly occupied the markets in the western states and New York at a low price. The price is only US$1288, which is US$1600 lower than that of Motorola.

The Phoenix Group endorses the quality of Lanfeng mobile phones, which makes American citizens very enthusiastic about buying Lanfeng mobile phones.

Now the general manager actually said that Li Guangyu knew how to advance and retreat. This is simply a fantasy. He is sure that this time Yingya Investment Company must have Li's consortium in it.

From the name of the company, it can be seen that this is obviously the British aristocracy cooperating with Asian forces, so it is named after Yingya.

It's just that he still doesn't know if there are other forces besides the Li's consortium. If it's just the Li's consortium, it probably won't be so crazy, and the Li's consortium can't come up with so much cash.

He said to Lisa McGraw: "You ask someone to check for me to see if this company is related to the Li's consortium, and conduct a detailed investigation of the situation of the Li's consortium these days. At the same time, please Xiangjiang, With assistance from Tokyo and the headquarters, we need to know who are the gods behind this company."

Listening to Dampier Worthy's account, she knew that her boss was suspecting that this company was related to the Li's consortium.

Although she is absolutely sure that Li's consortium could do such a crazy thing if it doesn't come, after all, they are the top four consortiums in the United States this time, and Yingya Investment Company is doing this to fight against several of their consortiums at the same time. Where does the consortium have such confidence.

However, she still responded that she would arrange personnel to investigate immediately. After all, Worthy had already explained that it was not easy for her to contradict.
