The Iran-Iraq war has broken out, and oil futures have completely embarked on the road of skyrocketing, and what Xia Yu needs to do is to instruct the Galaxy Fund to flee at the price he thinks is appropriate.

As for the election, it is gradually becoming clear that Ronald Reagan has gained the upper hand, and both Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party are jumping to their feet in a hurry, looking for opportunities to try to turn the tables.

And the best turnaround point is undoubtedly the hostage crisis incident, as long as the imprisoned hostages are rescued and his strong skills are shown, there is still a certain chance.

It's just that Xia Yu knows very well that the Republican Party also knows the idea of the Democratic Party, so he will definitely do his best to obstruct it.

With the influence of the Rockefeller consortium in the Middle East, it is not too easy to make small moves to hold Jimmy Carter back.

Moreover, although there are more Democrats in the House of Representatives, the Republicans in the Senate are the majority party, and Jimmy Carter is now a veritable lame president.

As long as Republican leader Benjamin Carr does his ideological work within the Republican Party, even if Jimmy Carter's rescue plan can pass the House of Representatives, it will be beaten back by the Senate.

There is only a little more than a month left before the end of the election, and the Republican Party can still resist the pressure at this time.

No matter how much the media tries to create suspense for the sake of sales and stance, it can't change the fact that Ronald Reagan will win in the end.

So Xia Yu doesn't need to worry at all, he just needs to wait for a while to attend Ronald Reagan's celebratory banquet.

Xia Yu, who suddenly relaxed, relaxed in New York for a few days, and by the way, he also quietly sorted out his career map in the United States, constantly checking and filling in the gaps.

In this investigation, Xia Yu suddenly realized that his career in the United States is not small, and there are five banners in finance, namely Galaxy Fund, Jiuding Securities, Polaris Capital, Bridgewater Fund, and Tiger Fund.

The first three have a certain relationship with him on the surface, and the latter two are hidden in the dark and no one knows.

As for companies such as Philip Brothers, Salomon Brothers, GEICO Insurance Company, etc., they are either under Polaris Capital or under Galaxy Fund.

A range of other retail, biopharma and technology companies acquired or invested in the United States are almost entirely part of Polaris Capital.

Although these acquired companies are basically still in the early stages of their rise, if you count them all, Polaris Capital can also be seen as a small consortium, as long as these investment or acquisition companies rise, Polaris Capital can quickly rise into a large consortium.

This is also Xia Yu's plan at the beginning, to create a subordinate consortium of the Jiuding Consortium in the United States, but it will be relatively independent, so it is convenient for development.

After combing like this, Xia Yu realized that the most important thing missing the future Polaris Consortium is the core of the consortium - the bank!

GEICO Insurance Company is unable to play the role of financial core due to functional problems.

"Taking advantage of the fact that most of the companies under Polaris Capital still need a certain amount of time to rise, it is just at this time to acquire a potential small and medium-sized bank, so that these companies and banks can complement each other and grow together!"

As for the acquisition of large banks?

Xia Yu thought about this for a moment and gave up for the time being, because he knew very well that today's large banks all have owners, even if they are not controlled by the top ten consortia in the United States, they are controlled by other consortia.

After all, the United States is a country where consortia are rampant, and under the cover of the halo of the top ten consortia, there are still many large consortia.

Although many small and medium-sized banks are controlled by the top 10 conglomerates, the difficulty of acquisition is much lower than that of large banks.

Of course, if it were possible to buy a large bank, he would definitely try it.

Considering this, Xia Yu immediately ordered his subordinates to order tickets to San Francisco.

He needed to buy a western bank, preferably in San Francisco, so that it would fit the positioning of the Polaris consortium and give it a foothold.

Seven of the top 10 consortia in the United States are in the east, there are too many old forces, the cake is basically divided, and the competition is particularly fierce.

And the eastern consortium is a fierce family consortium, which is not Rockefeller, Morgan, Mellon, or Dupont?

The cohesion and execution of these consortia are not comparable to ordinary combined consortia, his Polaris consortium is difficult to take the lead here, even if it does, it will be targeted by this large group of crocodiles, under their noses, Xia Yu is not at ease, unless he has been taking care of it in the United States, but this is obviously impossible!

So the eastern states were excluded by Xia Yu from the beginning.

As a result, the second largest continent in the United States, which is currently on the verge of catching up with New York State, is the best choice for California, which is the core of the West.

Not to mention that California's future economy ranks first in the United States, with quite strong potential and fertile soil, which is suitable for large conglomerates to take root and grow.

Moreover, the Western Consortium was a later stage of its rise, and in addition to the top ten consortiums, only the California consortium could get its hands on it, although the current California consortium can rank third in the United States in terms of total assets of the consortium.

But in many cases, the California consortium still has to join forces with the Chicago consortium in the Midwest and the Texas consortium in the south to resist the attack of the eastern consortium.

Xia Yu knew very well that even if the three consortia were united, it would be difficult to resist the offensive of the eastern consortia.

Just like now, the Chicago consortium has been heavily infiltrated by the Rockefeller consortium and the Morgan consortium, and the competition between the two has a tendency to become more open, and the McCormick family, the Wood family, and the Crown family, which make up the Chicago consortium, are about to be overwhelmed.

As for the Texas consortium, although it cooperates closely with the California consortium because of the military industry, it is closely related to the Rockefeller consortium because of the relationship between the oil industry, another pillar, and it is destined to be unreliable.

Therefore, the capital strength of the western United States is far less than that of the east, which is more suitable for the growth of the Polaris consortium.

Although California is the territory of the California consortium, and San Francisco is the sub-center of the California consortium after Los Angeles, Xia Yu is not intimidated at all.

Fortunately, the United States is currently the second largest continent after New York State, and there is still room for a big consortium to gain a foothold.

Even if the California consortium is a financially powerful consortium, if you really want to put on a posture and fight with Xia Yu in the financial field, don't say big words, Xia Yu is still confident.

Two days later, Xia Yu came to San Francisco again, this time he told Peter Lynch not to pick up the airport, and to hurry up and collect information about banks in the west.

After returning to San Francisco, Xia Yu returned to his luxurious villa in the affluent area of Atherton in San Francisco's South Bay, and after a brief day of rest, he came to Polaris Capital, which he had not been to for several months, and met Peter Lynch waiting at the door.

"Good morning, boss!"

"Peter, long time no see, thank you for your hard work. ”

"It's not hard, it's my responsibility. ”

"Take me to see the company, I haven't seen you for a few months, and the company seems to have changed a lot. ”

"Okay, please come with me. ”

......

After a few simple greetings, Xia Yu and Peter Lynch walked upstairs together.

A brief understanding took Xia Yu more than half an hour, and what he saw made him very satisfied.

Although the 30-story office building was bought by Polaris Capital, most of the floors were previously leased to other companies, and Polaris Capital did not occupy many floors.

But by now, Polaris Capital has occupied more than half of the floors, reaching 16 floors, and the remaining 14 floors are gradually being cleared.

There are more floors, and it is clear that the staff has increased.

Compared with the beginning, the staff of Polaris Capital has increased by nearly ten times, but along the way, Xia Yu found that everything in the company is in order, and there is no management chaos caused by the sudden increase in personnel.

From this, it can be seen that Peter Lynch's superb management ability can be demonstrated.

In the end, Xia Yu came to his office.

Although he hadn't been here for a long time, his office was still spotless, and the pothos in the corner was verdant, and Peter Lynch said at the right time: "Boss, when you're away, your office is cleaned every day." ”

Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "Well, I'm very satisfied." ”

After speaking, Xia Yu came to the sofa and sat down, and Peter Lynch continued: "Boss, you wait a while, I'll go get you some documents." ”

With that, Peter Lynch left the office.

After about a minute, his figure reappeared, with two more folders in his arms.

Peter Lynch came to Xia Yu, handed the two folders to Xia Yu, and said, "Boss, these two folders, the top is the whole situation of the company, as well as a brief development log, and the bottom is the information you need about the Bank of the West." ”

PS: Restore the update, although it's because of work, but it's late, it's late, I'm sorry!
