Chapter 928 Discussion of the American Consortium

The power of the American consortium is quite powerful, and it only took two days to investigate the general forces behind the Anglo-Asian investment company.

Facing the menacing Anglo-Asian investment company, the president of Merrill Lynch's Western European affairs, Dampier Worthy, contacted the heads of the three major consortiums, Morgan, Rockefeller, and First Citigroup, who were planning to buy bottoms in England this time, and met at the London Golf Club.

While Li Guangyu was conducting market inspections in Vienna, several heads of Western European affairs of the American consortium came together.

Although the relationship between several major consortiums is not friendly, Morgan and Rockefeller, First Citigroup and the California consortium are all in a state of competitive hostility in the US market.

But when they are outside, it does not prevent them from joining forces to deal with other forces, especially some powerful groups and financial groups.

After several people played golf for a while, Sambotson Smith, the president of Western European Affairs of First Citibank, said: "Worthy, just talk about anything. I'm afraid you don't have the time to play golf with us at this time."

In the past few days, not only Dampier Worthy is upset, but they are also the same. Originally, they were very sure about this acquisition, but they did not expect to kill Cheng Yaojin halfway, which made their acquisition full of uncertainty. They wanted a low price Acquiring the company you fancy has become a dream in the mirror.

When Merrill Lynch accelerated its investigation of the forces behind the Yingya Investment Company, these companies were not idle. They also wanted to know what forces were against themselves and others.

According to the information obtained so far, there are many British nobles who hold shares in it, and just yesterday, many British dukes, marquess and earls entered Buckingham Palace collectively, which had to make them feel vigilant.

Although the British royal family and nobles don't have much power now, they have a great influence on the people of England, especially the Queen of England. If she supports these nobles to acquire these industries, I'm afraid they won't have any chance.

At this time, the U.S. government will not suppress England for them. The enemy of the U.S. is still the Soviet Union. Before the fall of the Soviet Union, except for the Warsaw Pact members, any country is the target of the United States. At this time, the U.S. government But it will not do something that destroys the city wall.

Now they haven't come up with a good solution, and even the acquisition negotiations have stopped today. They know that the activities of the nobles in England have played a role. If they don't come up with a solution as soon as possible, I'm afraid they will This time it's really going to fail.

Dampier Worthy also put down the cue in his hand, and said to the caddy and service staff on the side: "We don't need service for the time being, I hope you can give us a quiet space."

After these irrelevant personnel walked away, he said: "I guess Yingya Company has become a thorn in everyone's throat now. I don't know what you think of this company?"

The person in charge of Western Europe of the Rockefeller Foundation said: "Worthy, Yingya Company is backed by the major British aristocrats, and even the royal family assets are not ruled out. I think everyone is very aware of the influence of these people. We will compete with them this time. The pressure It will be bigger, after all, this is England, even if we have strong financial resources, it won't help much."

When Dampier Worthy saw that Rockefeller thought that his opponent was only the British aristocracy, he also felt sad for their intelligence capabilities. He even suspected that the heads of the two major consortiums, Rockefeller and First Citigroup, did not pay enough attention to it. Investigate what's inside.

The first Citigroup was originally mainly owned by the Rockefeller and Stillman families, and a lot of their information would be shared.

He directly asked the person in charge of Morgan West Europe: "Charles, what do you think of Yingya Investment Company?"

As the head of Western Europe of the Morgan Consortium and the chief executive of Morgan Bank in England, Cross Charles has also asked the following people to investigate the situation of the Anglo-Asian Investment Company in the past few days.

It's just that the results of the investigation are not ideal. The current president of the company has a relationship with the Duke of Westminster, and the heads of the acquisition team outside are also British. It is understood that these people are also elites of some noble companies.

It seems that this company is indeed a company brought up by these nobles, but he doesn't quite believe that the nobles in England, who have become lonely, will have such huge financial resources and courage to eat so many companies.

Now he is still asking his staff to continue to investigate the situation of Yingya Investment Company to see if there are any other forces in it.

He also considered the possible participation of the Lee Consortium before, but the senior executives of the Li Consortium have returned to Xiangjiang, and even Li Guangyu has left Yinglun. , How could it be possible not to let the personnel under his banner be responsible.

Cross Charles responded: "Worthy, we don't know much about Xinya Investment Company at present. I wonder if you have any news here?"

Rockefeller and the person in charge of First Citigroup also looked at Dampier Worthy, waiting for his answer. This time Worthy invited them here, he must know some specific situations in Yingya, and the influence must be not small, otherwise I won't contact them anymore.
Dampier Worthy said: "After I learned about the crazy behavior of Yingya Investment Company, I specially investigated it. At the same time, I also invited the Merrill Lynch headquarters and the Xiangjiang and Tokyo branches to assist us. This really made me discover some news."

"Worthy, to hear what you mean, this time the Anglo-Asian investment company, some regional forces in Asia, and even our domestic forces have participated in this." Samboson Smith said.

"We haven't arrived in China, but Asia is more interesting. You know that Li Guangyu chartered a plane to leave London. The original news was to send the senior executives of the Lee Consortium back to Xiangjiang. But this special plane didn't just land in Xiangjiang. Went to Tokyo and Seoul before returning to London."

These are all elite talents. There are many problems here. The high-level officials who accompanied Li Guangyu to Western Europe are all from Xiangjiang. When returning to Xiangjiang this time, they should not continue to fly to Tokyo and Seoul before returning to London.

Cross-Charles asked: "Worthy, do you know who the distinguished guests were in these three places? This time they came quietly and left quietly. They did it very secretly."

"We at Merrill Lynch conducted in-depth investigations in various places, and through some relationships, we obtained the list of passengers dropped off by Li Guangyu's special plane at various airports.

In addition to the senior executives of the Lee consortium, Xiangjiang also has Zheng Yutong, Li Guobao, and He Youguang.

There are Sumitomo Qiying, Mitsui Nagao, Iwasaki Libun, Fujiwara Sanjian and others in Japan, while at Seoul Airport there are Zheng Zhouyong, Li Jianxi, Jin Yuzhong and others.

And just two days before they left London, many British nobles went to the Regal Hotel under the Lee Consortium. I have reason to believe that this New Asia Investment Company was established by several Asian consortiums in conjunction with the British nobles, in order to be able to Eat all these companies and let us not even think about the soup. "

These few also know why Dampier Worthy contacted himself and others. Regardless of the strength of the California consortium, they are not opponents at all in the face of the alliance of many Asian consortiums.

If the consortiums in the United States fight alone, they will really have nothing to gain this time.

Samboson Smith said: "Worthy, I don't know what plan you have. You must know that this time is in England, and the other party is also cooperating with many nobles in England. Not only can we not rely on policy support like the US market to cooperate with Japanese conglomerates, As the Lee consortium competes, we must also beware of the other party relying on policies to target us."

In the past two years, they and the Japanese consortium have competed comprehensively in the US market. If it were not for the support of the government, many of their companies would have gone bankrupt and liquidated. However, in the British market, they and others do not have an advantage.
