Chapter 947: The Deliberations of the American Consortium

The energy of the American consortium is quite strong, and it only took two days to investigate the general forces behind the Anglo-Asian Investment Company.

In the face of the menacing Anglo-Asian Investment Company, Dampier Worthy, president of Merrill Lynch Western European Affairs, contacted the heads of the three major consortiums of Morgan, Rockefeller, and First Citigroup, which were preparing to buy the bottom in England, and met at the London Golf Club.

While Lee Kwang Woo was conducting a market inspection in Vienna, several heads of Western European affairs of the American consortium came together.

Although the relationship between several major consortia is not very friendly, Morgan and Rockefeller believe that the first Citigroup and the California consortium are in a state of competition and hostility in the U.S. market.

However, when it comes to the outside, it does not prevent them from joining forces against other forces, especially some powerful groups and consortia.

After a few rounds of golf, Samberson Smith, president of Western Europe at First Citibank, said: "Worthy, just say anything, you are afraid that you will not have time to play golf with us at this time." ”

In the past few days, not only Dampier Worthy has been upset, but they are also the same, originally they were sure of this acquisition, but they didn't expect to kill a Cheng Cheng Jin halfway, making their acquisition full of uncertainty, and wanting to acquire the company they fancy at a low price has become a flower in the mirror.

When Merrill Lynch accelerated the investigation of the forces behind the Anglo-Asian Investment Company, these companies were not idle, and they also wanted to know what forces were working against themselves and others.

At present, there are many British nobles who have shares in it, and just yesterday, many dukes, marquis and earls of England entered Buckingham Palace en masse, which has to make them feel vigilant.

Don't look at the current British royal family and nobles do not have much power, but they have a great influence on the British people, especially the Queen of England, if she supports these nobles to buy these properties, I am afraid that they will not have any chance.

At this time, the U.S. government will not suppress Britain for their sake, and now the enemy of the United States is still the Soviet Union, and before the Soviet Union falls, except for the members of the Warsaw Pact, any country is the object of the United States' efforts, and at this time the U.S. government will not do anything to destroy the city wall.

Now they haven't come up with a good solution, and even the negotiation of the acquisition has stopped today, they know that it is the activities of those nobles in England that have played a role, if they don't come up with a solution as soon as possible, I'm afraid that they will really return this time.

Dampier Worthy also put down the club in his hand and said to the caddies and service staff on the side: "We don't need service for the time being, I hope you will give us a quiet space." ”

After these unrelated people walked away, he said: "Yingya Company has probably become a thorn in everyone's throat now, I don't know what everyone thinks of this company?"

The head of Western Europe of the Rockefeller consortium said: "Worthy, the Anglo-Asian company is backed by the major British nobles, and even the royal assets are in it, and I think everyone knows very well the influence of these people, and we have to compete with them this time, and the pressure will be greater, after all, this is England, even if we have strong financial resources, it will not play much role." ”

Dampier Worthy saw that Rockefeller's side still thought that his opponent was only a British nobleman, and he was also sad for their intelligence capabilities, and he even suspected that the heads of the two major conglomerates of Rockefeller and First Citigroup did not pay enough attention to it, so they did not investigate the situation clearly.

The first Citi was originally mainly owned by the Rockefeller and Stillman families, and a lot of their intelligence would be shared.

He asked directly to the head of Morgan Western Europe: "Charles, I don't know what you think of Anglo-Asian Investment Company?"

As the head of Western Europe of the Morgan consortium and the chief executive of Morgan Bank in England, Cross Charles has also asked the people below to investigate the situation of Anglo-Asian Investment Company in the past few days.

It's just that the results of the investigation are not ideal, the current president of this company has a relationship with the Duke of Westminster, and the heads of the acquisition team outside are also British, and it is understood that these people are also the elites of some aristocratic companies.

It seems that this company is indeed a company pulled up by these nobles, but he doesn't believe that these nobles in England who have gone lonely will have such huge financial resources and courage to eat so many companies.

Now he is still asking his subordinates to continue to investigate the situation of Anglo-Asian Investment Company to see if there are any other forces in it.

He had also considered the possibility of the Li consortium participating in it before, but the top management of the Li consortium had returned to Xiangjiang, and even Li Guangyu had already left the UK, he felt that the Li consortium had little hope in this, otherwise with Li Guangyu's strength, how could he not let his personnel be responsible.

Cross Charles responded: "Worthy, we don't know much about New Asia Investment Company at the moment, I wonder if you have any news here?"

Rockefeller and the head of First Citi also looked at Dampier Worthy, waiting for his answer, this time Worthy invited them to come, he must know some specific situations within Yingya, and the power must be not small, otherwise they would not have been contacted,

Dampier Worthy said: "I found out something about the fact that I had investigated the crazy move of Anglo-Asia Investments, and I also asked Merrill Lynch's headquarters and branches in Xiangjiang and Tokyo to assist us. ”

"Worthy, listen to what you mean, this time the Anglo-Asian Investment Company and some regional forces in Asia, and even our domestic forces are involved in this. Samboson Smith said.

"We don't have it in China, but it's more interesting in Asia, you know that Li Guangyu chartered a plane to leave London, and the original news was to send the top management of the Li consortium back to Xiangjiang. However, the plane did not only land in Xiangjiang, but also traveled to Tokyo and Seoul before returning to London. ”

These people are all elite talents, and there are many problems here, and the high-level people who accompanied Li Guangyu to Western Europe are all people from the Xiangjiang side, and this time he returned to Xiangjiang, and he should not continue to fly to Tokyo and Seoul, and then return to London.

Cross Charles asked, "Worthy, I wonder who the distinguished guests have been sent down in all three places? ”

"We at Merrill Lynch conducted in-depth investigations in various places, and through some connections, we obtained a list of passengers dropped off by Li Guangyu's special plane at various airports.

On the Xiangjiang side, in addition to the senior management of the Li consortium, there are also Zheng Yutong, Li Guobao, and He Youguang.

On the Japanese side, there are Sumitomo Kiei, Mitsui Nagao, Iwasaki Tatsufumi, Fujiwara Yamaken and others, while at Seoul Airport, it is Zheng Zhouyong, Li Jianxi, Kim Woo and others.

And just two days before they left London, many British nobles went to the Regal Hotel under the Lee consortium, and I have reason to believe that this New Asia Investment Company was established by several Asian consortiums and British nobles, in order to be able to eat all these companies, so that we don't even think about soup. ”

These people also know why Dampier Worthy wants to contact himself and others, don't look at the strength of the California consortium, but in the face of the combination of many Asian consortiums, they are not opponents at all.

If these American conglomerates go it alone, they will really have nothing to gain this time.

Samboson Smith said: "Worthy, I don't know what your plan is, you must know that this time it is in England, and the other party is also cooperating with many British nobles, not only can we not rely on policy support to compete with the Japanese consortium and the Lee consortium like the American market, but we must also beware of the other party relying on policies against us." ”

In the past two years, they have been competing with the Japanese consortium in the US market, and if it were not for the support of the government, I am afraid that many of their companies would have gone bankrupt and liquidated, but in the British market, they and others do not have an advantage.
