Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

Chapter 1505 The Will of the Top Level

"Peter, have you calculated how much money we need at least now?"

"Or, according to the current shareholding ratio of our family in each company, how much money is needed to reduce the risk?"

Andre Wallenberg thought for a while, and asked the key question that everyone cared about.

"That's a hard question to answer!"

Peter Wallenberg said, frowning.

But he also realized that it is necessary to have a relatively intuitive data on the demand for funds, otherwise it will affect strategic decision-making.

After thinking for a long time, he suddenly had an idea.

"Wait a mininute."

After he said that, he suddenly got up to look for something.

After a while, he came back with a notebook in his hand.

Then he took out the paper and started writing.

Andre Wallenberg sat beside him, watching quietly.

abb company, currently holds 31.34% of the shares, and the stock price is 47.856 SEK per share...

Astra Pharmaceuticals, currently holds 29.71% of the shares, with a stock price of 134.658 SEK per share...

Ericsson, currently holds 32.69% of the shares, the stock price…

Atlas Copco, currently holds 24.39% of the shares…

Electrolux Corporation, currently holds 28.28% of the shares...

Volvo Group, currently holds 26.97% of the shares...

Saab Defense Company, currently holds 35.19% of the shares…

Stora Paper Company, currently holds 34.21% of the shares...

…

ten minutes passed

Several sheets of paper are densely packed with data and information.

After writing these.

Peter Wallenberg again estimated the amount of funds needed based on the holdings.

Here we go.

After only estimating the capital needs of more than a dozen listed companies, his face turned ugly, and he stopped writing and stopped calculating.

"Let's take a look!"

As he spoke, he circulated the information to everyone.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay after seeing it, and remained silent.

Even if they haven't calculated all of them, they can make a rough estimate based on the shareholding, the latest stock price, and the expected position of the stock price in the future.

If these more than 50 companies want to keep it.

Do not!

Even if those core companies and medium and large companies want to keep them, even if they just increase the shareholding ratio to 50%, then the capital demand is conservatively over 100 billion Swedish kronor.

This amount of funds is too large.

Without dealing with asset financing, the Wallenbergs had no choice but to find someone to lend.

With the current situation in Europe, if you want to borrow money or borrow huge amounts of money, don't even think about it. Even if there is collateral, it is not possible to borrow in a short time.

The current cash flow of more than 20 billion SEK has already spent more than 8 billion, leaving more than 15 billion.

Even within half a month, another 29 billion SEK will be raised.

The sum is only more than 40 billion Swedish kronor.

Not even half of the demand is met!

"Obviously, there is no need for us to hesitate, let's abandon the acquisition of NatWest Bank and get back as much money as possible."

"We have three options."

"One is to fight to the death with the Bright Consortium, and sell our shares to the Rothschild family or other hostile forces of the Bright Consortium, so that they can continue to fight."

"The second is that we use this as a bargaining chip to seek peace from the Bright Consortium and ask its ally Kirin Capital to withdraw from Sweden."

"The third is to sell the equity to other forces, whoever bids the highest will sell it, and then we will sell the equity to Kirin Capital.

Division beat back. "

These three options are in front of us, but it is difficult to choose...

And actually.

There is not much time left for the Wallenberg family to choose.

Because in the UK, after three days, the acquisition of National Westminster Bank has become a matter of national concern.

have to say.

The media empire that Xia Yu spent so much effort and capital building is absolutely unparalleled in strength.

"The Times", "Daily Telegraph", "Daily Mirror", "Daily Record" and other major national newspapers are all advocating the merger of Royal Bank of Scotland and NatWest good thing.

The British paper media controlled by Xia Yu alone accounted for 52% of the national newspaper circulation and 31% of the local newspaper circulation in the UK.

His own strength alone is more than half of the majority, and some other media are also controlled by allies, or they themselves stand in a supportive position.

In terms of TV stations and radio stations, after several years of accumulation, the Bright Consortium is also in a dominant position.

Under the combination of the two.

Public opinion can't turn the sky at all!

The trend of public opinion is completely heading in a direction that the Rothschild family does not want to see.

So the most important thing is to see how the British government makes decisions.

therefore.

It was inconvenient for Xia Yu to come forward, and it was also inconvenient for George Berkeley to come forward.

Xia Yu then asked his father-in-law, Carter Howard, who was also an ally of the Bright Consortium, to help.

Friday night.

After Margaret Thatcher came home from get off work in Downing Street, two Rolls-Royces pulled into her yard.

Immediately afterwards, the bodyguard opened the car door, and Duke Carter Howard got out of the car.

"Good evening, Lady Margaret!"

"Duke of Norfolk, you are welcome, come and sit in the house."

"..."

The two elderly people shook hands and said a few words of greeting, then walked into the room together, and the bodyguards followed behind with some gifts.

After entering the house, I saw Margaret Thatcher's husband and children, greeted them again, and gave them small gifts.

Then, for the convenience of talking about things, the two went straight upstairs to the study.

"Ms. Margaret, the general election for the House of Commons will be held in June, and there are less than four months left before the general election. Is the Conservative Party ready?"

After Margaret Thatcher's husband served coffee for the two, Duke Carter Howard asked with a smile.

Margaret Thatcher spread her hands helplessly: "I want to say that we are ready, but our opponents are pressing harder and harder. No one can tell until the end."

"You know, Neil Ginnock's Labor Party has reorientated and slowly moved towards a more centrist policy platform, but the direction is still the main progressive line of the center left, and there are many supporters."

"David Owen of the Social Democratic Party and David Steele of the Liberal Party are strong leaders. Although the strength of the two parties is relatively weak, there is a faint intention of an alliance to jointly run for a cabinet."

"The challenges facing our Conservative Party are too many!"

Carter Howard nodded, and replied: "Indeed, the Conservative Party has been in leadership for almost two terms, and the novelty of the people has passed, and the uncertainty is indeed relatively large."

"But I think, Ms. Margaret, you have many friends. As long as everyone continues to support the Conservative Party, I think the probability of the Conservative Party winning the third general election will not be low."

"Again, the Conservative Party's campaign has focused on lower taxes, a strong economic and defense policy, and unemployment this year has fallen below 30,000 for the first time since 1981, while inflation is around 4%, standing near 20 lowest level of the year."

"Just let the people see your policies

Feasibility, with the support of various important industries for you, I think they will know how to vote. "

Margaret Thatcher's eyes flashed, and she smiled and said, "Duke Carter, which industries do you think are more important to support, and how should you support them?"

Carter Howard replied with a smile: "If the economy wants to develop, it must rely on the high turnover and flow of funds, so the importance of the financial industry bears the brunt."

"In the financial industry, the banking industry is the most core and fundamental part."

"I can get HSBC, Standard Chartered, Barings, Lloyds, Royal Bank of Scotland, Chinese Mercantile Bank and NatWest to all announce lower lending rates to support the government's economic construction plan."

Of the seven nationally large British banks mentioned by Carter Howard, the first six either belong to the Guangming Consortium or are in the same camp as the Guangming Consortium.

Only NatWest is not!

Carter Howard can't be the master at all now, but he said it here, and the meaning is self-evident.

As long as the National Westminster Bank is taken down, the seven banks can give a strong boost to the Conservative Party!

Margaret Thatcher took a sip of coffee, looked at Carter Howard with a wry smile and said, "Sir Carter, you have created a problem for me."

Carter Howard smiled immediately: "This is not a problem. The British banking industry also needs strong support from the government, and then it will go to the world and absorb nutrients from all over the world to build Britain."

Margaret Thatcher thought for a long time, then nodded: "Britain really needs a stronger bank to compete with the banking giants of other countries..."

The smile on Carter Howard's face suddenly brightened.
