Chapter 286: The Rockefeller Consortium
1.6 billion pounds!
This is all the profit that Xia Yu made from gambling this time!
At the current exchange rate of one pound to 8.832 Hong Kong dollars, 160 million pounds is equal to 1.413 billion Hong Kong dollars!
And the 1.413 billion Hong Kong dollars is still the net profit except for the funds brought out by Xia Yu himself, and the funds brought out before, Xia Yu has been returned to the account of Jiuding Securities Company.
Then the 85 million Hong Kong dollars for the purchase of Li's TV station came from the gambling money here, as well as the 500,000 US dollars for buying a Rubik's Cube, equivalent to 960,000 Hong Kong dollars, and nearly 10 million Hong Kong dollars for buying a house, a car and expenses.
These expenses, Xia Yu was counted in the gambling funds here, and the money withdrawn from Jiuding Securities Company was returned intact.
As a result, now on the major accounts of Swiss banks, after the amount lying down is converted into Hong Kong dollars, there is only 1.317 billion Hong Kong dollars left.
Coupled with Xia Yu's previous hidden assets, his personal wealth has reached about 2 billion Hong Kong dollars after this gambling skyrocket, which is enough for him to rush into the top 20 of the Xiangjiang rich list on the surface!
Of course, Xia Yu will definitely not be exposed, and exposure will only be bad for him, but not good!
Now hiding such a large amount of money, Xia Yu felt confident for a moment.
Now if someone has a bad heart towards him, and the enemy judges him according to the strength he is showing on the surface now, then he will find that he has hit the iron plate, and Xia Yu is fully capable of abusing the enemy back and forth.
Although the sharp increase in assets is worth being happy about, Xia Yu immediately regained his composure after being happy for a while.
With assets of 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, if the real strength of all the rich and wealthy families of Xiangjiang Aomen is counted, it may not be ranked in the top 20.
If you zoom in to the whole of Southeast Asia, you won't be able to rank in the top 50! How can this be proud and proud?
What's more, Xia Yu's vision is different from others!
Two billion Hong Kong dollars in assets seems like a lot, but based on the current exchange rate of one US dollar to 4.6 Hong Kong dollars, it is only about 430 million US dollars.
Is $430 million more?
In the eyes of ordinary people, it is astronomical, and in the eyes of the wealthy families in Xiangjiang, it is powerful, but if it comes out of the small pond of Xiangjiang and is placed in the world, it will look weak and pitiful.
After all, Xia Yu has the memories of many elite bosses and knows many unknown secrets.
In later generations, among the top ten consortia in the United States, which consortium controls the major enterprises combined, and the assets of the major enterprises have not reached more than one trillion dollars?
Don't talk about the future generations of inflated assets, just talk about now, or before!
In 1974, the Rockefeller consortium once again surpassed the Morgan consortium and jumped to the top position of the American consortium, what is its total assets?
$330.5 billion!
A terrifying number that would cause a magnitude 10 earthquake to occur in the world if exposed!
In 1974, the California consortium, one of the lowest-ranked western consortiums, had total assets of $167.1 billion.
As for the First Citibank consortium above the California consortium, the Big Mac Morgan consortium?
The strength will only be stronger!
And that's only a rough count from 1974!
Now in 1978, after so many years of development, the strength of these big consortia will only become stronger, if the total assets of the Rockefeller consortium have reached 360 billion US dollars, Xia Yu will definitely believe it!
Looking at these giants, and then looking at his assets of $430 million, if Xia Yu can still get carried away, then he is not qualified to aspire to be a big capitalist.
These things, Xia Yu knew from the beginning because of the special situation.
Therefore, at the beginning of his rise, his eyes were not limited to Xiangjiang, and when he was making various strategies, he first looked at the world, set a big framework, and then made initial detailed planning according to the situation of Xiangjiang.
In Xia Yu's view, it is not the ability that determines the upper limit of a person's growth, but the vision.
The wider the horizon, the more they know their insignificance, the more they will be full of awe of the world, and they will always urge themselves to continue to strive to climb up.
Human potential is unlimited, ability by the day after tomorrow, as long as a person learning and growing the power of a continuous stream, one day the ability will reach the peak!
But if a person is a frog at the bottom of a well, and all he can see in his eyes is that small piece of the sky, he is easy to be content and complacent, always thinking that he is already the strongest, but he does not know how small this well is in front of the world.
In Xia Yu's view, Xiangjiang is like a well in front of the world, and most of the people in Xiangjiang are frogs, not even frogs.
But Xia Yu has always been very sober and knows the vastness of the world outside the well.
After Xia Yu was reborn, it was not for nothing that he had been developing like a burning butt, but because he knew too many things, and because he knew more, he knew the preciousness of time.
In the eighties and nineties, the whole world was changing, whether it was the wave of privatization that swept the European and American worlds, or the various oil and economic crises caused by successive wars in the Middle East, or the man-made or natural financial crises in various places, as well as the merger of the two Germanys, the establishment of the European Union, the drastic changes in Eastern Europe, the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the rise of science and technology, and so on, all of them hid huge amounts of wealth.
These are all historical opportunities and precious treasures! Xia Yu, who has all kinds of memories, is of course red-eyed, and he can't wait to get a foot in it!
But it's useless to just think about it! If you want to get a piece of these opportunities, you must have the strength to enter the threshold!
If you are more greedy and compete with those predators hidden behind the scenes of the world, your strength must be stronger!
But time waits for no one!
The strength of those predators is now very amazing, and the resources that can be used are incomparable, Xia Yu has long been behind, if it is developed according to the convention, it will definitely not be able to compare with them!
In the era of accelerated solidification of the world pyramid class, Xia Yu must run towards the top of the pyramid, otherwise he can only wait until the Internet era with greater variables There is still a glimmer of opportunity.
But Xia Yu doesn't want to wait for decades!
What's more, he doesn't have the strength, even if he waits for the Internet era in the future, he still has to be controlled by those behind-the-scenes predators, and he still can't grab it!
Don't you see, whether it's Google or Microsoft, which one doesn't have a lot of investment companies behind it? And most of those investment companies are one of the tentacles of these consortiums.
When you stand at the pinnacle of power and have countless resources, no matter how the times change, your uncle is still your uncle after all, and what you change is only the industry category you control.
Those who are on the list of the richest people are almost all the targets set by the real predators, although these people are already considered top in the eyes of ordinary people, but they still can't enter the top level, and they can't become the people who really draw the cake!
And Xia Yu just wants to become the latter, the kind of real predator!
Because he knows a lot, Xia Yu understands the difficulty of the path he has chosen.
But he was reborn in a lifetime, which was the favor of God, and instead of sitting on the wealth of Salted Fish, it was better to go on a vigorous journey in this world!
Since John Rockefeller and J.P. Morgan were able to do it more than a hundred years ago, he Xia Yu was favored by heaven, and he didn't think that he would be worse than them, and he was unwilling to do it!
Thirty years of change, a few romantic figures, but also look at the present!
$430 million, not much!
But with more than one billion Hong Kong dollars of liquidity, the road of the tycoon, he is truly qualified to start to set foot on it!
Everything starts with Wharf!
