Chapter 1178: Strength comparable to the Cleveland Consortium

Although Xia Yu's assets are hidden through a combination of cross-shareholding and offshore registration, his name appears very rarely in the list of shareholders.

But he has absolute control and leadership over these assets.

These assets can be divided into five main blocks.

They are the Jiuding system of Xiangjiang, the bright system of Europe, the Polar galaxy of North America, the flexible Galaxy Fund hidden behind the scenes, and some other scattered assets of Xia Yu.

Among the five major assets, the largest is the Xiangjiang Jiuding system, followed by the Galaxy Fund, the European Light System, the North American Polar Galaxy, and other assets.

Among them, the Xiangjiang Jiuding system refers to the Xiangjiang Jiuding Consortium, although it is headquartered in Xiangjiang, but in fact, the influence of the consortium is not only limited to Xiangjiang and even Asia.

There are as many as 1,000 companies under the Jiuding Consortium, such as the first, second, and third levels, and if they are all listed on A4 paper, they all have to be written in a thick pile.

However, the main assets of the Jiuding consortium are actually concentrated under the eight major groups.

According to the value from high to low, they are Jiuding Financial Group, Jiuding Culture Media Group, Jiuding Real Estate Group, Tiangong Group, Jiuding Industrial Group, Jiuding Retail Group, Jiuding Energy Group and Jiuding Pharmaceutical Group.

Although the vast majority of companies are not listed, this does not prevent these companies from having valuations.

The total actual market value or valuation of the eight major groups is as high as US$51.5 billion, equivalent to more than HK$300 billion!

Among them, Jiuding Financial Group, which owns Jiuding Securities Company and Jiuding Bank, is valued at US$19.45 billion, accounting for 37.7 percent of the value of the entire consortium.

This is just talking about the valuation of the companies, not referring to the assets of these companies, after all, the financial industry is too special, otherwise the total assets of a Jiuding Bank alone would exceed 19.45 billion US dollars.

Straight to the point.

Jiuding Culture & Media Group, the second largest group, is valued at US$14.48 billion, accounting for 28.1% of the value of the entire consortium.

Combined, these two groups account for almost two-thirds of the value of the entire consortium.

It can be seen that culture, media and finance have always been Xia Yu's two strongest pillars!

However, among the other six major groups, Tiangong Group, which has the brightest future, is in the outbreak period, as long as many of its companies develop smoothly, it is estimated that after two or three years, it will be able to become the third pole of Jiuding Consortium, comparable to Jiuding Culture Media Group and Jiuding Financial Group.

Xia Yu's second largest asset is undoubtedly the hidden Galaxy Fund, and the assets are also very simple, that is, up to $44 billion in liquidity.

Xia Yu's third largest asset is the Bright Fund, or it is more appropriate to call it the Bright Consortium, after all, the Bright Fund already has all the characteristics that the consortium needs.

Of course, although the Guangming Consortium now has a great influence in Europe, there is still a lot of gap between it and those old European conglomerates, because its current development is very biased.

According to statistics, the assets of the Bright Consortium are now mainly concentrated in the two fields of banks and automobiles.

Among them, the banking sector is the largest, with the combined value of HSBC Holdings, the Royal Bank of Scotland and Standard Chartered Bank being worth $16.7 billion.

In addition, the banking sector also holds equity interests in banks such as China Commercial Bank, Bank of Baring, and Barclays, with a combined value of up to $1.5 billion.

The second is the Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Group, which has grown rapidly and has now entered the ranks of the world's top ten car companies, with 80 percent of the equity held by the Bright Fund openly and covertly, worth as much as 11.2 billion US dollars.

After these two, the only equity that can be considered large is the French LVMH group, which is worth $3.8 billion.

Then with other scattered assets and its own funds, the assets of the entire Bright Consortium are as high as 41.33 billion US dollars.

Most of the influence of the Bright Consortium is in the United Kingdom, a small part is in France, and as for other European countries, the influence is still very weak, which also means that there is still a lot of room for future development.

North America's Polaris galaxy ranks fourth, and its current assets are far from the Bright Consortium, and its assets are only $23.79 billion.

Not only that, Polaris Capital is large but not specialized, and its control and influence over the industry are not strong enough.

There are many companies wholly owned or absolutely controlled by Polaris Capital, after all, when Xia Yu personally built Polaris Capital in the United States, he had been hunting for potential companies in the future.

However, most of these companies are small companies that have not yet fully emerged, and even if they have developed in a year or two, although they have grown a lot, they are still far from the future peak stage of their previous lives.

Now, in addition to the investment field on which Polaris Capital is based, it also relies on wholly-owned Wells Fargo and Abbott to support the scene.

Most of Polaris Capital's assets are investment holdings, and the combined equity value of IBM, General Electric, Coca-Cola, Intel and other companies is as high as $6.7 billion.

However, Xia Yu is not in a hurry for the time being, because as long as he remains patient, when the company that Polaris Capital is now carefully cultivating grows, its assets will swell like a balloon.

After all, Polaris Capital now has more than 10 Fortune 500 companies in the future!

What's more, there are still many opportunities in the future, and when he frees up his hands to deploy North America again, the assets of Polaris Capital will definitely be able to roll up.

Now that Peter Lynch has run Polaris Capital very well, he doesn't need to worry about it for the time being.

As for his last piece of assets, it is actually quite a lot, more than 19 billion US dollars!

The two blocks in the first camp are Bluestar Mining Company and Pacific Petroleum Company, and the two pieces in the second camp are Tiger Fund and Bridgewater Fund in the United States and Kyushu Industrial Group in the mainland.

Then there are a series of assets such as the equity of Eternal Jewelry Company, Kyushu Fruit Company, and SJM Company.

As for the tens of thousands of antique cultural relics, Xia Yu only calculated the actual value now, otherwise how could his other assets be only 19 billion US dollars?

In the end, these five assets were added up, and Xia Yu found that his assets could reach 180 billion US dollars!

In terms of assets, Xia Yu has been able to surpass the Cleveland consortium, the last of the top ten consortia in the United States.

But Xia Yu is also very clear that the gap in strength among the top ten consortia in the United States is also very large.

In 1974, someone counted the assets of the Rockefeller consortium, which amounted to $330.5 billion, ranking first in the United States!

Nowadays, the total assets of the Rockefeller consortium and the Morgan consortium, which are in the first camp of the United States, will definitely not be less than 500 billion US dollars!

The California consortium, the First Citibank consortium, the Mellon consortium, etc., which strength is above him.

And now the strength of each of the six major consortia of the island country is stronger than him.

As for old Europe, not to mention, there are quite a few consortia that are stronger than him.

What's more, Xia Yu also knows very well that he seems to have a lot of assets, but his actual influence is far less than that of a consortium with the same assets, and the most obvious thing is that there are many shortcomings in the "monopoly", which is one of the characteristics of the consortium.

If you exclude the Galaxy Fund, which has $44 billion and has no light in sight, his assets will only be about $136 billion.

Excluding other assets of $18.9 billion, the Jiuding Consortium, the Bright Consortium, and Polaris Capital Company add up to only $117 billion, and they can't even enter the top 10 in the United States.

And these assets are also divided into three parts, which are typically broad but not precise.

Unlike the top 10 consortia in the United States and the six major consortia in island countries, assets are mainly concentrated in the United States and island countries.

He can truly achieve the influence of the top 10 consortia in the United States and the six consortia in island countries, in fact, only the Jiuding Consortium, which has assets of more than $50 billion.

But where can Xiangjiang compare with the island countries and the United States?

The degree of monopoly of the Jiuding consortium in many industries in Xiangjiang is already higher than that of the consortium of the United States and island countries.

What this means, Xia Yu has a very clear understanding.

Jiuding Consortium must rush out of the Xiangjiang River on a larger scale!

The whole of Southeast Asia has been targeted by him, and now many groups and companies under the Jiuding consortium are implementing this long-term strategy, constantly opening branches in Southeast Asian countries, harvesting talents, seizing the market, and carrying out mergers and acquisitions in other industries and fields.

Although there are many countries in Southeast Asia, in this era, the Chinese ethnic group is undoubtedly the largest group in Southeast Asia, so it is not difficult for the Jiuding consortium to expand in various countries, and it can be carried out without Xia Yu worrying.

I don't know when, Xia Yu got up and turned his head to look at the world map hanging on the wall behind him, his eyes moved to the "seahorse" in the island country after staring at Southeast Asia for a long time.

"A few years ago, I began to secretly lay out the island country, and now it is 1983, and it is time to officially plan ......"

"If my career map lacks island countries, I can't compete with Rockefeller and Morgan......"

PS: After combing for more than four hours, Xia Yu's assets finally have a more accurate amount, because there are too many, so only a detailed chart of the assets of the Guangming Consortium is posted, and everyone has a picture backwards
