When Xia Yu was busy with several major acquisition tasks, Liu Tianci called over from an international phone to report the good news to him.

In February, Chiba Bank was calculated to lose as much as $252 million, when Wang Qi and Liu Tianci worked together to short Chiba Bank and launched a takeover war.

After more than two months, the acquisition battle of Chiba Bank has finally come to an end.

After the explosion of Chiba Bank, it can be said that it shook the Tokyo Stock Exchange, and the stock price of Chiba Bank plummeted.

Wang Qi and Liu Tianci bribed the media behind their backs to fuel the flames, making Chiba Bank mired in a quagmire from which it could not extricate itself.

In terms of short selling, a total profit of $19.2 billion was made.

And in the end, it only cost 110 million dollars to buy the Chiba Bank, which was on the verge of bankruptcy.

You must know that before the thunderstorm, the market value of the second generation of Chiba Bank was as high as 750 million US dollars, but because of the sudden loss of 252 million US dollars, it almost touched the 2.57 bank capital line of Chiba Bank (the island country uses yen, but for the sake of unification and better reading, all the back is converted into US dollars).

The risk of bankruptcy is infinitely high, and investors will not have time to lose the shares of Chiba Bank, for fear that Chiba Bank will go bankrupt and be dragged to the funeral.

Carefully calculated, Chiba Bank was acquired by Jiuding Bank, plus the profit from shorting, and then removed the loss that was calculated before.

In fact, the cost of acquiring Chiba Bank was 170 million dollars.

With $170 million, the Chiba Bank, which had a market value of $750 million, was acquired, and its book profit reached $580 million.

What's more, Xia Yu's banking empire has reached into the island country at one time, and it still won a top regional bank, which is definitely a significant victory.

In this process, it was not that no one came out to stop it, but Liu Tianci used money to attack, and asked Fukuhara Kazuya to come forward, and finally resolved it all.

At the end of the call, Xia Yu told Liu Tianci to change the blood of Chiba Bank, replace all the right-wingers and risk factors in it, even if the development of Chiba Bank is temporarily sluggish.

Liu Tianci and others have gained, not to mention the acquisition of the Guangming Fund, which has a more onerous task.

During this time, Elena has been in contact with Xia Yu, in addition to talking about the stars, the moon, from poetry and poetry to life philosophy, she will also talk to Xia Yu about the latest situation and work progress of the Bright Fund every day.

The first to have results was not to talk to Margaret Thatcher about the Leyland Group, but to Lamborghini Automobili.

No way, on February 28, Lamborghini went bankrupt according to its original trajectory.

As soon as it went bankrupt, George Berkeley, who had been staring at it for a long time, was shocked by the foresight of his boss Xia Yu, and on the other hand, he immediately sent someone to intervene in the acquisition.

The appearance of the Bright Fund made Ferruccio Lamborghini happy and disappointed at the same time, and finally because of the high debt, he was finally taken over by the Bright Fund for only one million dollars, and he was burdened with all the debts.

Ferruccio Lamborghini took a million dollars to spend his old age in peace.

After the acquisition, Lamborghini was immediately sold by the Bright Fund to Tiangong Automobile Group.

After Lamborghini, there is the Leland Group.

As a British state-owned enterprise, when the decision was made at the highest level, there was also the guardian of Duke Howard, and the progress was naturally very smooth, and the time taken was also due to the need for asset accounting and divestiture.

In the end, Leyland Motor Group was taken by Rolls-Royce Motor Cars for a total price of 1500 million pounds.

Following the acquisition, Bright Fund continued to assist Rolls-Royce Motor Cars in acquiring the remaining stake in Jaguar Cars.

As for Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, it began to digest the fruits of the acquisition.

According to Xia Yu's original plan, the Leyland Automobile Group will be split, and the automotive department will have brands such as Rover, Morris, Wolseley, Riley, Jaguar, and MINI.

Later, Rover's four-wheel drive division was spun off and the Land Rover brand was established, specializing in off-road vehicles.

After that, the truck and bus manufacturing division was transferred to Leyland Trucks and reverted to its original name.

Leyland Trucks is a subsidiary of Rolls-Royce.

The Rolls-Royce Motor Cars company was restructured into a group company.

Then there was TI Automotive Systems, which was also acquired by Rolls-Royce Motor Cars for £40 million.

Then there was Lotus Automobile Company, which was wholly acquired by the Bright Fund for 10 million pounds, but it was not transferred to Tiangong Automobile Group at the first time.

After all, Lotus is different from Lamborghini, Lamborghini is an Italian company, and it is very difficult to transfer to Tiangong Group, but McLaren and Aston Martin have not yet won it, and it is easy to attract media attention if it is manipulated by someone with a heart to cause public anger.

As for Magna International, the most important company, it is still being acquired, but according to Elena, after the first difficult period, there has been a lot of progress, mainly in price.

Xia Yu is very concerned about the progress of the automobile company, but he is most concerned about the Royal Bank of Scotland and Standard Chartered Bank.

Holding the fatal handle of the two banks, the senior management of the two banks was scared to death, but they had to compromise, and some shareholders hurriedly threw their shares to the Bright Fund, for fear that the news would leak out, causing the bank's stock price to plummet, and even further fermentation triggered a chain reaction leading to collapse.

Now that the situation at Standard Chartered Bank is completely clear, and the situation at the Royal Bank of Scotland is gradually becoming clear, George Berkeley is working hard to tackle the problem, and Elena does not hesitate to use the influence of the Howard family to help.

......

Three days later, thanks to Merrill Lynch's strong strength, Polaris Capital increased its stake in CEICO to 29.2 percent, becoming the de facto second largest shareholder.

Now Merrill Lynch is attacking its largest shareholder and Berkshire Hathaway.

Polaris Capital itself, after three days of hard work, also increased its stake in Berkshire Hathaway to 5.1 percent, and automatically obtained a seat on the board.

On this day, before Xia Yu had time to go to Berkshire Hathaway, he received a report from his subordinates that Warren Buffett came downstairs and wanted to visit him.

Hearing this news, Xia Yu was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Warren Buffett to play his cards according to common sense and come directly to the door.

However, he thought about it, Buffett's surprise visit, although very abrupt, but it has to be said to be a good means to break the game, Buffett is indeed different.

Then, Xia Yu instructed his subordinates to invite Buffett to come up, and he cleaned up the table a little and ordered another subordinate to boil water and prepare to make coffee.

After a while, ******, with gray hair, Buffett, who was just fifty years old, came to Xia Yu.

Xia Yu smiled, shook hands with him, and invited him to sit on the sofa.
