Detective Conan: The Grey Winged Angel
Chapter 284: Big card in hand
On December 31st, France time, at nearly seven o'clock in the evening, the main study of the first family manor outside Paris.
The old man said, "So, how is the relationship between Mr. Bartlett and this Miss Ferdinand now?"
After browsing the documents, Ron said: “They often contact and quarrel, but most of what Mr. Bartlett’s group needs are provided by Miss Ferdinand’s group. The relationship between the two of them may not look like an outsider. So bad."
"Most?" the old man asked, "Judging from more than half of the information, she can't get rid of the Good Feeling Foundation, right?"
"It should be. Maybe Miss Ferdinand is very capable, but I don't think she alone can set up such a large-scale industry in ten years." Ron said, "If you count money, compared to Mr. Bartlett , Miss Ferdinand is much closer to the Good Mood Foundation."
Checking the time, the old man smiled: "Simply tell me, let me see what cards this Miss Anne Ferdinand has in her hand."
"The biggest card is Degu Petroleum." Ron laughed.
"I remember that it disrupted the acquisition of Gedi Petroleum Company by Pengze Petroleum Company in 1984 and acquired Gedi at a high price. Then it was sued by Pengze Company and finally fined US$10 billion. Later, after several efforts. , The court still upheld the original verdict, so it went bankrupt in 1987. Its shareholders sold all of its properties to Caldex Oil." The old man asked, "Why is it still there?"
"The total assets of Decoo are less than one billion U.S. dollars, but it still exists." Ron laughed, and then read, "Miss Ferdinand used 10 billion U.S. dollars in cash and 25 billion U.S. dollars in debt. Degu Petroleum, which had total assets of 34.5 billion U.S. dollars at the time, was taken. The guarantor was the ten largest banks in the United States at the time. The money had been paid off in early 1993. After Miss Ferdinand took over, Degu was extinct. Most of the business has been handed over to Caldex Petroleum. Degu's current business center is to buy land for exploration and then sell it to Caldex."
"That’s the case. I was very surprised at the time. Caltex was funded by Deco and Cheferon. How could Caldex buy Deco? I thought it was Cheferon behind. Caltex has always been counted under the name of Cheferron, and now it seems that our intelligence is completely wrong.” The old man said, “Degu’s doing this is to unilaterally increase investment, or to inject it all at once. More than 30 billion U.S. dollars. With Cheferon’s total assets of less than 60 billion U.S. dollars at the time, it is impossible to add so much capital at once. Caldex has never been listed and does not know the specific financial situation, but Before and after the incident of accepting the industry, I have estimated that Caldex’s original total assets were less than 20 billion U.S. dollars, and later total assets were more than 50 billion U.S. dollars. In other words, Degu’s holdings With about 85 percent of Caltex's shares. This year, experts estimate that Caltex's total assets have exceeded 100 billion, which is indeed a big name."
"Not only that," Ron said after looking at the documents. "Miss Ferdinand has been using the money made by Caldersey to buy shares of Cheferon in the market. Now she owns about percent of it. Fifteen shares. I think it’s only a matter of time before Tegu’s acquisition of Cheferon.
"It turns out that the scale of Tecco's company is small, and the burden is also small. I handed over the business to Caltex, and let Caldex to compete with Cheferon. She used the money earned by Caldex. Acquiring shares of Chefron Company. This Miss Ferdinand really dare to bet that the 70% profit is not as high as that of Chefron Company. But also, Chefron Company has to distribute the profits to shareholders. Among them is Miss Ferdinand. Coupled with the support of the Good Mood Consortium, Miss Ferdinand is already invincible." The old man laughed, "After they merge, the ranking of the world's top ten oil companies will no longer run. , This card is really big enough."
Ron looked at the document and said: "The second largest card has three cards. The first card is the Weir Steel Company of the United Kingdom. It used to be a state-owned steel company. It was publicly offered in 1988 and was listed in 1994. Miss Ferdinand bought it completely."
"I thought this top five steel company in the British steel industry could occupy the first place." The old man laughed, "I didn't expect to be ranked second."
"The second card is the Sith Department Store. In 1986, there was a problem with its operation. In 1992, it sold the Sista Building, the Chicago headquarters building~www.readwn.com~ Ron looked at the documents and said "Miss Ferdinand not only bought the Kista House, she also currently owns 70% of the Sith Department Store. "
"I remember the previous information said that before 1991, Miss Ferdinand only held about 15% of the Sith Department Store. Later, the Sith family used the excuse of losing money to sell at a price of 4 billion US dollars. The headquarters building was sold to Miss Ferdinand, and he used the money to buy back 10% of the stock in the market, increasing her share to about 25%. This state continued until July this year," the old man asked. Said, "What is going on now?"
"Didn’t the previous information say that in 1991, the performance of the Sith Department Store declined. Some shareholders wanted to split the Sith Company and sell the financial service industry of the Sith Company. However, at the annual meeting in 1992, This proposal was not passed because Miss Ferdinand was on the side of the Sith family, and the Sith family exchanged it for the headquarters building.” Ron looked at the information and said, “They reiterated at the annual meeting this year. Speaking of this matter, Miss Ferdinand on the spot bought 11% of the shares from some minority shareholders at a price of 40 US dollars per share, which is 35 US dollars higher than the market price. This increased the shares of her and the Sith family. It rose to more than half, and then borrowed 30 billion U.S. dollars from various banks in the form of debt, while letting people buy in the market, while purchasing at the annual meeting, in order to continuously increase the price, up to 70 dollars per share, and Keep lowering the price, as low as 37 dollars per share. Finally, Miss Ferdinand has a 70% stake in the Sith Department Store."
"So that's it." The old man asked, "But what did she fancy about Sith Department Store?"...
