Deliberately slowing down the time of reading, Xia Yu's mood gradually calmed down, and he had a rough guess in his heart.

Coca-Cola is not actually the core controlling company of the Chicago consortium, and can only be regarded as marginal in the battle between the Morgan consortium and the Rockefeller consortium.

According to the memories of later generations, Xia Yu knew very well that the Rockefeller consortium and the Morgan consortium wanted companies in the financial, heavy manufacturing, petroleum and mining fields of the Chicago consortium, and the second level was also companies in the retail field, such as Sears Department Store, United Department Store, Marshall Field Company, Tiffany & Co. Jewelry Company, and so on.

Although Coca-Cola has a market value of more than $1 billion, it is still in the outer circle, after all, strictly speaking, Coca-Cola is only more than 20 percent of the shares held by the Chicago consortium.

Xia Yu speculated that one of the reasons why the Rockefeller consortium competed with the Morgan consortium in the Coca-Cola Company was to block the Morgan consortium and involve part of the Morgan consortium's strength; the other reason was simply not to let the Morgan consortium get Coca-Cola.

As the first and second most powerful consortiums in the United States, the tentacles of the Morgan consortium and the Rockefeller consortium have reached into various fields, and it is obviously unrealistic to want to hit the opponent hard in one field alone, and the safest way is to divide it into small battlefields, constantly encroach on the strength of the other side, gather sand into a tower, and unconsciously widen the gap in strength.

In the food sector, the Morgan consortium is the strongest, with its flagship company being General Mills, and the Morgan consortium also has significant stakes in PepsiCo, Mondelēz International, Mars and Tyson.

Although PepsiCo is currently in the hands of the First Citibank consortium, the Morgan consortium holds a large stake.

With the penetration and influence of the Morgan consortium into the First Citibank consortium, it is not difficult to take over PepsiCo.

If even Coca-Cola is snatched away by the Morgan consortium, the position of the Morgan consortium in the beverage field will be unshakable, and other small and medium-sized beverage companies will not have the strength to resist at all.

Unless the think tank of the Rockefeller consortium is stupid, it will definitely not sit idly by and watch the Morgan consortium complete its substantial monopoly on the beverage field.

As long as any business is monopolized, it can make huge profits.

Once the Morgan consortium completes the substantial monopoly, the beverage field will become the cash machine of the Morgan consortium, and it will be very easy to make money, which is extremely unfavorable to the Rockefeller consortium!

But as long as Coca-Cola is not acquired by the Morgan consortium and is obtained by others, the impact on the Rockefeller consortium is not great.

......

"Hehe, Jacob Rothschild gave me the equity of Coca-Cola, probably to get out of the way, let me get involved in the battle between the Rockefeller consortium and the Morgan consortium, and act as a pawn for him. ”

"Now David Rockefeller uses the equity of Coca-Cola to tempt me, as long as I dare to eat it, then I will face the pressure of the Morgan consortium, and it is easy to be seen as a person in the camp of the Rockefeller consortium, and then the equity of Philip Brothers will be exposed, and the relationship will be confirmed. “

"Even ...... It is possible that the wrong signal is transmitting, making the Morgan consortium mistakenly believe that the Rockefeller consortium has joined forces with the Rothschild family, which involves the energy of the Morgan consortium. ”

Thinking of these, Xia Yu had to sigh that David Rockefeller's methods were old and spicy, killing birds with one stone.

If he can't see it, it's a conspiracy.

If he sees it, then this is a plot.

Regardless of the conspiracy or the scheme, unless he can refuse the equity of Coca-Cola, this pit will have to be jumped.

Obviously, Xia Yu, who is extremely confident in himself, immediately chose to jump into the pit and seized the opportunity to take the equity of Coca-Cola!

After deciding, Xia Yu closed the file, looked at David Rockefeller with a smile, and said: "Mr. Rockefeller, although I don't know where you got the news, I have to say that I am indeed interested in the equity of Coca-Cola." ”

"I agree with your way of working together. ”

"But the price of these shares, and the redivision of the shares of Philip Brothers, need to wait until we acquire Philip Brothers, what do you think?"

David Rockefeller smiled: "No problem, I'll put the top management of the New York Chemical Bank in charge of this." ”

"Okay, I'll get people butted. Xia Yu said with a smile.

After the matter was negotiated, Xia Yu obviously felt that David Rockefeller's attitude towards him was a lot closer, and he also beat the snake and accepted David Rockefeller's kindness.

Next, David Rockefeller changed the topic and chatted with Xia Yu about the American political environment and the election, Xia Yu also expounded some views in combination with his own position, the views are not shocking, but they are also full of dry goods, and in general they are consistent with the position of the Rockefeller consortium.

Ronald Reagan is destined to succeed, the Republican Party will govern the United States, and in terms of general interests, Xia Yu and the Rockefeller consortium are in agreement.

At about half past four, Xia Yu found the right time to say goodbye.

David Rockefeller, in order to show his attention, also sent Xia Yu out of the door and watched Xia Yu's car leave.

After going back, Xia Yu went to Jiuding Securities Company and Galaxy Fund successively to make the latest deployment.

Early the next morning, Toby Moulton led a team to negotiate with the Chemical Bank of New York.

Because both sides have been ordered to fight quickly, and neither Xia Yu nor David Rockefeller are bad moneymakers, and they will not care about small profits.

Negotiations were therefore completed in one morning.

According to the opening price of Coca-Cola on the same day, the Chemical Bank of New York transferred 22.9% of the equity of the Rockefeller consortium to the bank for $407 million.

Jiuding Securities, on the other hand, needs to calculate the futures of $400.7 million at the time of the asset restructuring of Philip Brothers at the time of the asset restructuring of Jiuding Securities, which is used to calculate the weights when dividing the shares.

In addition, the New York Chemical Bank and Jiuding Securities will form a consortium to acquire Philip Brothers to accelerate the pace of acquisition.

The first step in the group acquisition was to go to the New York Stock Exchange and submit an application for the acquisition, and then to the New York Stock Exchange and submit an application for permanent delisting and share buyback.

Considering the strength and background of the Chemical Bank of New York, the NYC people agreed without saying a word, and the asset liquidation group continued to liquidate the assets.

It's just that the members of the liquidation team have changed some, and the company's directors have been replaced by people from the Chemical Bank of New York and Jiuding Securities.

And after taking over, in order to avoid accidents, the Galaxy Fund immediately transferred the full amount of senior copper futures and aluminum futures contracts to Jiuding Securities Company, and then Jiuding Securities Company traded with Philip Brothers, and the long and short hedges were zeroed, and the heavy burden of Philip Brothers was removed.

As for the margin owed to the New York Mercantile Exchange, it was also returned by the New York Chemical Bank after a loan of money, and the futures trading seat of Philip Brothers was unfrozen.

The big short company of Philip Brothers has completely left the market, which has a huge impact on the market, and the top institutions know about it.

But before exiting, they went even crazier, trying to attract enough pick-ups to facilitate their exit.

As a result, Salomon Brothers, which has not yet completed the clearance, is uncomfortable, but it can only carry it to the death, constantly replenishing the margin, hoping that the price bubble of high-grade copper futures and aluminum futures will be punctured and the price will be lifted when the price falls.

Xia Yu also seized the opportunity and instructed his subordinates to sell the futures contracts and spot contracts he still held as soon as possible.
