When Li Guangyu and the others held a meeting to discuss the British National Oil Company, the Yingli Investment Company was also not calm.

Morgan and Rockefeller, the California consortium, and First Citi have had grievances for tens or hundreds of years, and if it weren't for the strong rise of the Japanese consortium and the fact that they have gone to their country to seize the market, they would never have joined forces.

Dampier Worthy, head of Merrill Lynch, said: "You have all received the news, Li Guangyu's special plane has arrived in London last evening, and in less than a month, Li Guangyu has arrived here again, and its purpose is self-evident, obviously for the current acquisition situation. In addition, according to the information we have received, the heads of the Mitsubishi Foundation and the Sumitomo Foundation of Japan have also come to London, and we are afraid of difficulties if we want to eat these groups. ”

Although they won a game in the British Power Company this time, they didn't win any of the companies they wanted to buy, and this time their focus was completely different from Li Guangyu.

The Lee consortium is focusing on public service companies, such as natural gas, water, electricity, etc., while they want to win down British National Oil, British Steel, Rolls-Royce, aerospace and so on.

Oil companies, in particular, hope to further expand their share of the world and occupy and consolidate their dominant position in the oil and industry after the acquisition.

It's a pity that the current situation makes them more uncomfortable, and the tiger of the Asian consortium has not yet retreated, and it has ushered in two hungry wolves from the West German consortium and the Middle East.

In particular, the investment company composed of the royal families of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait is even more arrogant than them, and it seems that the increase in the price of billions of pounds is insignificant in their eyes, and they bid a unit price of 35 pounds.

They Yingli Investment Company and Yingya Investment Company have been competing for nearly a month without their high price, they just reported the price from 27.6 pounds to 31.2 pounds, and Saudi companies jumped directly from 31.2 pounds to 35 pounds.

They have only risen by 3.6 pounds in the past month, and Saudi Arabia has risen by 3.8 pounds on this basis since then, and they don't treat money as money at all.

This is equivalent to paying more than 3 billion pounds more to buy 65% of the shares in the hands of the British government, and their Merrill Lynch will not reach so much in a year.

As the Rockefeller consortium that monopolizes US oil, they very much hope to eat the British National Oil Company, but in the face of such a bold approach by the Saudi Investment Company, they have no bottom in their hearts whether they can win this company.

K. K. Brown, head of the Rockefeller consortium for Western Europe, J. Dijac said: "Worthy, now we are no longer facing the competition of Asian conglomerates, although they are strong enough, but they are businessmen like us, they will not take money as money, they each have a limit in their hearts, once the price exceeds this limit, then they will choose to give up."

As long as they still have oil underground, they don't lack capital, they don't worry about whether the product will become obsolete, they don't need to think about the future direction, if they are happy, they don't care how much it costs. ”

K· J. Dijack has always been unhappy in his heart, when the Lee consortium bought those companies, it was Merrill Lynch and Morgan's people who went to offer quotations for natural gas, electricity and water companies, which led to the Lee consortium and several Asian consortiums competing with them in oil companies, giving them a lot of pressure on the Rockefeller consortium.

From the beginning to the end, their Rockefeller consortium only wanted to eat the British National Oil Company, and had no idea about other companies at all, but now it has become the current situation, which makes them very passive.

If it weren't for the fact that the headquarters hoped to suppress the development of the Japanese consortium and the Lee consortium here, they really didn't want to wade into this troubled water this time.

Now the Japanese consortium and the Lee consortium are indeed too rampant, and American companies are being hit in the domestic market in many industries, especially the automobile industry and the electronics industry.

If the development momentum of the Japanese consortium and the Lee consortium is not suppressed, I am afraid that their hegemony that has been maintained for decades will change hands.

Over the years, the Japanese consortium and the Lee consortium have developed too rapidly, especially the Lee consortium, which has developed a family with assets of less than $50 million into a comprehensive consortium with a market value of more than $200 billion in less than 10 years.

And what is even more terrifying about the Li consortium is its control, all of its major groups are not listed, and the only listed group also controls the absolute controlling stake, even if they have countless elites in the stock market and countless talents on Wall Street, they can't hurt the Li consortium in the slightest.

This year, several major investment banks in the United States estimated that once all the industries under the Li consortium are listed, the market value of the Li consortium will soar to 500 billion US dollars in two years.

500 billion US dollars, this is also a large consortium in the United States, although it cannot be compared with their top consortiums, but it is also very difficult for them to suppress the Li consortium.

And with the current development speed of the Lee Foundation, Diack believes that within ten years, the Lee Consortium will become the world's top consortium with a market value of more than one trillion US dollars.

In the eyes of these top consortia, only if the wealth under the control of the consortium exceeds one trillion dollars can it be regarded as a top consortia.

At present, in addition to the top ten consortia in their own country, only the six major consortia in Japan and several consortia in Western Europe can be called the top consortia.

Although the Lee consortium is not qualified now, the terrifying development potential of the Lee consortium has made the American consortium treat him as a top consortium.

As for the current Korean consortium and the Xiangjiang consortium, they are just small local consortia, and they will not let the top consortia in the United States take it to heart.

As Rockefeller's biggest rival in the United States, the Morgan consortium naturally also has oil companies under its umbrella, and this time they came over, initially preparing to snipe at Rockefeller, but Li Guangyu and several major Japanese consortia simultaneously acquired these companies, and after coordination, they also agreed to cooperate with several major consortia.

Cross Charles, the head of the Morgan consortium in Western Europe, is not too concerned about whether this company can be won, this time they Morgan do not want Rockefeller to take this company, and they also do not want the Asian consortium to take it, and now that a Saudi investment company has popped up, even if they are allowed to take it, it is nothing.

The Middle East is not a safe area, and after they buy it, they have a way to make them spit it out in the future.

"Worthy, Dijak, Smith, Bamford, I think it's good that Saudi Arabia and Kuwait are willing to buy this company at a high price, as long as it's not an Asian consortium," he said.

I believe that they need our help very much in the future, and we can cooperate in this in the future, I think they can still provide crude oil with peace of mind, and we will help to extend the industrial chain. ”

Saudi Arabia is in the Middle East, not far from the Soviet Union, and they belong to the sheikhdom and constitutional monarchy, and they are not treated by that huge country, and if they want to be safe, they still have to rely on the United States, and then they can talk about these things.

K· J. Dijak sighed with emotion, worthy of being a subordinate of the Morgan consortium, the focus on the development of finance is different, and now he is actually playing such an idea, thinking that it will not cost much to get this company back in the future, which is really blackhearted.

In the future, once there is turmoil in the Middle East, these countries can only ask them for help from NATO, and they are the boss of NATO, so let them take some advantage when the time comes, it is estimated that Saudi Arabia and Kuwait can only choose to agree, after all, a company is far less important than a country.
