After all, the money is only more than 20 billion US dollars, which seems like a lot, but if you want to buy giants from all walks of life, you actually don't need to spend it at all.

In 1974, the assets of the Rockefeller consortium reached more than $330 billion, and now after another six years, they have grown to at least $400 billion.

What's more, there are so many big consortia in Europe and the United States, and it's not just the Rockefeller consortium!

I am a prosperous China, and I can catch up with the development of Western countries in 70 years, and Xia Yu believes that he can also achieve great leapfrog development.

But this requires Xia Yu to be able to spend every penny to produce the greatest benefits.

Next, Xia Yu gathered his think tank, including the think tank and his own powerful subordinates, and asked them to express their opinions.

This brainstorming took two days.

Until the end, Xia Yu didn't say anything, it seemed that he was just listening with two ears and recording occasionally.

In fact, Xia Yu just wanted to fill in the gaps through this situation of brainstorming.

Maybe his subordinates are all top talents, they are all really smart people, and a group of smart people must be able to think of many things that ordinary people can't consider.

But Xia Yu has always been very sober in his heart, and they are far inferior to him in one point, that is, long-term strategic vision.

Strategy is the key to determining the ceiling and the fundamental factor for success!

For his Jiuding consortium, Xia Yu already has a general direction in mind, and after combining their opinions, a positioning that is most suitable for the current situation is freshly released.

Every stage has its own situation, and it will definitely be adjusted again later, but for now, Xia Yu thinks that he is the most suitable.

At present, his Jiuding consortium has a wide range of businesses, including culture and media, finance, real estate, infrastructure, retail, ports, electricity, hotels, transportation, food, manufacturing, medicine, automobiles, auctions, jewelry and other industries.

Among these industries, the most top-notch is finance, followed by culture and media, the automobile industry ranks third, and the auction industry is at the forefront of the world.

As for companies in other industries, the poor ones are only new companies that have just entered the industry, and the better ones are the top 10 in Xiangjiang, and the best ones are the kings in Xiangjiang, but they are not outstanding when they expand to Asia and the world.

Aside from Xia Yu's funds, if the strength of a single round is qualified to enter the world's top 500 companies, there are only Jiuding Financial Group, Jiuding Culture Media Group can be close to the threshold of the world's top 500.

If the Jiuding Consortium wants to break out of the Xiangjiang River, break out of Asia, and wrestle with the world's big conglomerates, it must have a number of solid and powerful pillar foundations.

As for these pillar foundations, Xia Yu chose seven industries: finance, culture and media, energy, automobile manufacturing, biomedicine, high-tech, and retail.

Among these seven industries, they are more or less involved, such as the field of biomedicine, there are Tai Chi Pharmaceutical and Yangshengtang, but it is only in the field of traditional Chinese medicine.

In the high-tech field, Tiangong Electronics can be touched, but it can only be regarded as an edge.

In terms of energy, only the Xiangjiang Electric Light Company can get its hands on, and electricity is also regarded as energy, and then there is a four-percent stake in British Petroleum.

These seven industries, Xia Yu will be fully invested in building.

But it's not that companies in other industries than these seven industries don't care, it's just that the current importance is a little more out of line, and if you want to get support, you have to find a bank.

After the decision, Xia Yu used three companies that had already been registered offshore, namely Jiuding Energy Group, Jiuding Pharmaceutical Group, and Tiangong Automobile Group.

After it was put into use, the Xiangjiang Electric Light Company, which was originally placed under Jiuding Industrial Group, was spun off and placed under Jiuding Energy Group.

Jiuding Pharmaceutical Group has jurisdiction over Xiangjiang School of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Spring and Autumn Hospital, Taiji Pharmaceutical and Yangshengtang.

Tiangong Automobile Group has annexed Jardine Automobile Group, which was originally located under Jiuding Industrial Group, and has an automobile manufacturing company in Indonesia, a motorcycle manufacturing company in cooperation with Honda, and Renfu Hong Automobile Trading Co., Ltd.

However, the most prominent Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, in order to make it more convenient to act in the future, Xia Yu did not plan to move for the time being, and was still under the Bright Fund.

After the planning, Xia Yu combined the memories of his previous life and began to formulate relevant implementation plans.

As soon as the time entered February, a good news came from across the ocean.

With the help of Morgan Stanley, the American Southern Company finally fell into the hands of Xia Yu.

Xia Yu didn't care what Ito-Yokado's reaction was, but he knew that from this moment on, the brand of 7-Eleven convenience stores would be in his hands, and the island country 7-Eleven retail company would be constrained by him.

And the ceiling of his 7-11 convenience retail store has been completely opened, and Fu Kai can finally rush to the Southeast Asian market without any scruples.

At this time, Gavin Peter wandered in Europe for more than two months, and finally returned to Xiangjiang to report to Xia Yu.

"Gavin, how's it going?"

In the office, with Xia Yu's question, Gavin Peter had an embarrassed smile on his face.

He immediately presented the document and said convincingly: "Chairman, all the achievements are on this." ”

After speaking, he sat quietly on the side, seemingly a little distracted.

After Xia Yu read it, a smile appeared on his lips, knowing why Gavin Peter was in such a state.

It was Gavin Peter himself who was embarrassed.

In November, Gavin Peter proposed to buy the largest publishing houses in West Germany, France and Spain, and Xia Yu listed a target for each of them.

After more than two months, Xia Yu's listed acquisition targets have all been acquired.

For example, the French publishing group Hachette was acquired for six million pounds.

The West German Springer publishing house was acquired for 42.6 million marks, or $23 million in dollars.

Spain's Planetary Press, on the other hand, was the most expensive, spending $52 million.

In addition to these three achievements, the Fritz family's 35.8 percent stake in Ithaca was taken over by Gavin Peter for $75 million.

These four outcomes are all the outcomes of Gavin Peter's trip.

As for the publishing houses in France, West Germany and Spain, which he mentioned earlier, they either rejected his acquisition, and even if they were willing to sell their shares, the price was frighteningly high, which made Gavin Peter feel very shocked.

Fortunately, the targets specified by the chairman have been acquired, so that Gavin Peter has a certain confidence.

Xia Yu didn't embarrass Gavin Peter, directly ignored his expression, and said gently: "Gavin, you did a good job, you worked hard." ”

"These companies have been acquired, and you have to complete the integration as soon as possible to maximize the use of resources. ”

"Next, you have your eyes on the United Kingdom and the United States. ”

Gavin Peter took a deep breath and nodded heavily, "Chairman, I remember!"

After encouraging Gavin Peter again, Xia Yu sent him away, and he went home to pack his bags.

In a few days, he had to travel to the United States for his Seven Pillars of Consortium plan.

His route was to fly to London, from which he crossed the Atlantic to New York on the east coast of the United States.

packed up his things, and before he was about to leave, Xia Yu called Liu Tianci and Wang Qi to the office again.
