Chapter 343: Earn some pocket money first
Synchronous reading on mobile phones
On the morning of the second day, James went to participate in BHP's stock music generation. Although the headquarters of BHP Billiton is in Melbourne, Australia.
But most of his major shareholders are in the United States, after all, this is the center of the world. If you want to become the center of the world like Australia, a place where birds don't poop, let's wait a few hundred years!
Li Zhiyang did not go out with Nancy that day, and waited at home for news from James, while at the same time, the trader he hired was quietly buying Rio Tinto's shares.
If you don't earn him a sum at this time, when will you wait?
You must know that the situation of Rio Tinto is not good, the international price of iron ore has been falling recently, and now the market value of their stock is falling sharply.
But Li Zhiyang is betting that their stock will soon skyrocket, because if they reject BHP's offer.
Once BHP Billiton announces a hostile takeover, the Red Shield family will exert their influence in Europe, and when some banks in the UK and other European countries stand up and support BHP, it will be difficult for Rio Tinto's stock to rise by then!
However, if BHP Billiton really makes a move, then the people who believe in Rio Tinto will definitely come out to protect the disk, and then their stock price will have to be seen again. What's more, there are a large number of speculators who are also waiting!
However, Li Zhiyang is not in a hurry now, if he really wants to acquire such a large company, it is not something that can be done in minutes.
And if you really want to do something to this company, this is not a good time!
Li Zhiyang plans to wait until next year, when the subprime mortgage crisis is at its worst, and other companies in the world are raising funds to protect themselves, and this is when Rio Tinto's stock price falls to vegetable prices.
This time the alliance with BHP Billiton is just to give Rio Tinto a plate of appetizers first, let him have more blood, and by the way, take advantage of BHP Billiton.
Anyway, these two companies are not good birds!
In his previous life, Li Zhiyang remembered very well that at that time, it was these two companies that proposed the price increase of iron ore every year. The Red Shield family has made a lot of efforts in it. In recent years, with the development of the Celestial Empire's economy, these two companies have made enough money.
You must know that the people of the Celestial Empire make easy money, but you also have to abide by the rules, and you can't treat the people of the Celestial Empire as fools!
So Li Zhiyang's impression of these two companies is not good!
He remembers very well that in the middle of the following year, the Rio Tinto was on the verge of bankruptcy under the impact of the subprime mortgage crisis.
At that time, BHP Billiton, because it also had to raise funds to protect itself, also stopped its actions against this company, and the company of the Celestial Empire appeared at the end of this year.
Li Zhiyang estimated that this time he added fuel to the fire between BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto, these two companies. That, it's better to lose both.
At that time, it is estimated that the small Rio Tinto may really not be able to stand up to it when the time comes, and it is best for him to declare bankruptcy at that time.
At that time, he was taking action to give him a bankruptcy reorganization, and when the time came, he could use this name to kick out all the guys who ate and didn't work in the company.
You must know that in such a foreigner enterprise, there are a lot of idlers, and these people are similar to the idle guys in the state-owned enterprises of the Celestial Empire.
It's almost a dry meal every day. The only difference is that these people are raised by a large company.
And the cysts in our state-owned enterprises. It is raised by the common people!
After figuring this out, Li Zhiyang is no longer in a hurry, anyway, after being busy in the United States in the past few days, he is going to go back, and he can't keep mixing in the United States.
Besides, now Nancy's parents have basically agreed with themselves, and Nancy returned to the Celestial Empire to continue to go to college, basically they no longer resist.
And it's time for your parents to meet Nancy, after all, you can't say that you're getting married before you notify your parents.
For such a thing, it is better to inform your parents first!
。
On that day, Li Zhiyang had been watching the news of the economic channel on the TV, and sure enough, in the afternoon, BHP Billiton representatives held a press conference in Australia. BHP Billiton has made a $100 million offer to Rio Tinto to acquire the company, which is already in a state of crisis.
This proposal was almost a year ahead of the original life, and this is the change brought about by Li Zhiyang's little butterfly shaking its wings.
In the previous life, this Rio Tinto was struggling, and at the beginning of the year, BHP Billiton made an offer to Rio Tinto, but unfortunately it was rejected by Rio Tinto.
Then in the old month of the following year, BHP Billiton again made a value offer to Bantuo, but in the end it was rejected by Rio Tinto.
Then BHP Billiton immediately became angry and announced the possibility of a hostile takeover of Rio Tinto, and as a result, many banks expressed their support for this!
It's a pity that at the last moment, BHP Billiton chose to give up, because the market situation at that time was really deteriorating, and the Red Shield family also needed to withdraw some funds to protect themselves.
And the acquisition of Rio Tinto will definitely take up a lot of money at that time, and it is likely to cause both sides to lose in the end!
Supposedly, Rio Tinto claims to be the world's second-largest iron ore supplier, and it should not be completely defenseless when facing BHP Billiton.
And even if the economic crisis is serious, it should have too much impact on such a company with assets of 100 billion yuan.
Not to mention the business they have done, the prospects are very promising ore resources.
This is still the old and right, and it was not handed over before the economic crisis broke out. Rio Tinto has just talked about expansion. He bought Alcoa from his old father-in-law.
And these money are all borrowed, and this money is equivalent to the total assets of this company. So Rio Tinto's performance in the subprime mortgage crisis was very vulnerable.
There were even a few times when they even almost declared bankruptcy, but BHP Billiton had no worries about this at all, first, they stood behind the Red Shield family, and the second was that their company's debt ratio was only about Ni of Rio Tinto.
That's why the world's second-largest mining company is powerless to fight back when faced with the threat of its rivals.
However, if BHP Billiton really forced itself to act this time, then history, especially the history of these two companies, will take a completely different fork in the road here.
But Li Zhiyang believes that this. The Rio Tinto at that time was different from the Rio Tinto in the previous life, which was already extremely weak in the past year.
Because at this time, Rio Tinto has not shed all its blood in the stock market like Rio Tinto in the previous life, and now after all, it is just the subprime mortgage crisis that has just broken out.
The impact on Rio Tinto is, after all, not as powerful as it was in the previous life!
At this time, Rio Tinto still has the power to fight back, but this is better, Li Zhiyang intends to let this company bleed in advance in this acquisition and anti-takeover battle.
By this time next year, when the result of the subprime mortgage crisis is at its worst, even if Rio Tinto wants to protect itself at that time, it is estimated that it will be difficult!
The best result is that he declares bankruptcy at that time, which will be the most perfect part for Li Zhiyang, after all, there are some things he really doesn't want in such a big company.
For example, what kind of Canadian aluminum company, such a bullshit company, what is it doing after mergers and acquisitions?
In such a country, there are many regulations, and those bullshit labor is expensive, so is it cost-effective to directly do resource trading?
Li Zhiyang has never been the boss of such a large international company. So he is now judging entirely by his own conjectures.
However, his judgment is really about the same as that of Alcoa, and it is really just a matter of relying on its name, not to mention that the company's name cannot be the profit created every year, it is really average.
Moreover, such a large enterprise has the most redundant staff, and in a country like Canada, it is difficult to fire a few people, so it is really not interesting to run such a company!
It was exactly as expected by Li Zhiyang, and Rio Tinto quickly responded, and the day after BHP Billiton made an offer to Rio Tinto.
A spokesman for Rio Tinto held a press conference in London and announced in a high-profile manner that he rejected BHP's offer.
And at the press conference, he said that this BHP Billiton's offer is completely an insulting offer. Rio Tinto's prospects were completely underestimated, so they categorically would not accept BHP's offer.
In fact, on the day BHP Billiton announced that it would acquire Rio Tinto, the shares of the two companies were in Sydney. Markets in New York and London both rose, albeit modestly.
It shows that the current market expectations for this phase of the acquisition are not particularly clear, and the shares of these two companies have fallen in response to Rio Tinto's refusal to accept BHP's offer.
However, just a few days after Rio Tinto rejected BHP's offer, BHP held another press conference to announce another offer to Rio Tinto, but this time the offer was raised to $100 million.
As soon as the press conference ended, BHP's market capitalization in Sydney, New York and London skyrocketed.
BHP Billiton is the world's largest mining company, and their assets, debt ratios, and company operations are better than Lifu's.
However, their iron ore business has always been a shortcoming. Not as good as Freshwater and Rio Tinto. This time, it seems that they have made up their minds to make up for this shortcoming.
After all, Rio Tinto's huge profits every year in Tianchaolou can be seen by BHP, and such a situation will be common for a period of time in the future.
BHP's stock rose sharply, and Li Zhiyang also made a profit, in fact, he had quietly bought BHP's shares long before the war began. Because he knew that with the cleverness of the Red Shield family, such a good opportunity to promote themselves, how could they give it up!
They will definitely take this opportunity to make a big profit in the stock market, and whether the final acquisition of Rio Tinto can be successful or not, they will definitely not do it in vain.
This time, after BHP Billiton made an offer to Rio Tinto, Rio Tinto did not respond as quickly as last time, and it seems that they are also evaluating this price.
To be honest, BHP's offer this time is not low, and it has to be settled, which is billions of dollars higher than their current total market value in the market.
So the behind-the-scenes shareholders of Rio Tinto are also pooling to see if they really bought the company, after all, the financial crisis is coming.
And they have been saddled with debts because of the acquisition of Alcoa some time ago.
Everyone knows about the huge profits from the trading of resources, but everyone knows that the financial crisis has arrived, and no one knows how powerful this financial crisis will be and whether they can survive this winter.
Moreover, when the financial crisis comes, the banks will definitely tighten the monetary system, and the money owed by the recommended bank must not be delayed, and you must know that the company owes the bank is not as simple as three or five billion.
It's the dollar, and once the company doesn't work well, it will lose money at that time: the interest of the monthly ring can drag the company so in the board of directors of Rio Tinto, there are two voices, one side thinks that the company should be bought to BHP Billiton, after all, the current offer is sincere, and they can still make billions.
And the other side thinks. The company should survive the financial crisis, and if it does, the outlook will be bright.
You must know that in the world, the Celestial Empire and India are the two large economies with the fastest economic development, and the two countries together have more than 2 billion consumer groups, waiting for modern life.
This is inseparable from steel, with such two big markets to support, the future prospects of Rio Tinto will be limitless!
So these days, the company's prescription is about whether the company buys or not. It's so noisy.
Of course, such a thing can't be hidden from Li Zhiyang, who let him now have a father-in-law who is a ghost in Rio Tinto!
As James's representative on Rio Tinto's board, he certainly does not support Rio Tinto's decision to sell Rio Tinto to BHP.
Because Jayus was also working on the idea of the company, he informed his representative on the board of directors of Rio Tinto early on, once Rio Tinto discussed the issue.
No matter how tempting BHP's terms are, he will resolutely vote against it!
Rio Tinto's board of directors is still arguing, and the stock market has not responded in a timely manner because of Rio Tinto. So on the stock market, Rio Tinto's share price has been fluctuating violently in the past few days.
Like the directors on Rio Tinto's board, some have faith in Rio Tinto, while others don't.
On the other hand, BHP's stock. In the past few days, Rio Tinto has not responded in a timely manner. The market value of their shares has increased dramatically these days.
In the London market, BHP's shares have skyrocketed from one share to one share of Flying Stocks.
In New York and Sydney, the same is happening. This time, of course, Li Zhiyang also made a lot of money, and the return on investment in the early stage has reached the old Kan.
This investment is quite happy, you must know that in this era of cautious investment, there are not many opportunities to make money so quickly.
After almost a week of deliberations, Rio Tinto held another press conference in London. The small reason for announcing the rejection of BHP's offer is still BHP's offer, which underestimates Rio Tinto's prospects.
Truth be told, BHP's offer is now small, only billions of dollars higher than Rio Tinto's total market capitalization. If Rio Tinto can survive this economic crisis.
These billions of dollars of profits, they can earn as long as they invite the officials of the Celestial Empire Association to travel abroad a few times within a year, and after getting some information, when they negotiate with the Celestial Empire, they can make it by carding the neck of the Celestial Empire Steel Mill.
So in the end, after a fierce confrontation, Rio Tinto's board of directors decided to wait and see, and could not give such a cash cow to others so easily.
On the same day that Rio Tinto announced its rejection of BHP's offer. BHP's share price fell in response, while Rio Tinto's share price did not fluctuate much, and the market entered a wait-and-see mode.
Of course, Li Zhiyang sold BHP's shares at the price of the pound sterling per share long before Rio Tinto announced that it was rejecting BHP's offer.
Throw in ten, hundreds of millions of dollars. It became 1.4 billion out.
Buy again when BHP's share price falls to $45, and then just wait for BHP to be ruthless.
James was also overjoyed this time, although he did not personally operate the robbery, but Li Zhiyang was his representative, and Li Zhiyang was now a family with him.
Li Zhiyang threw ten into it. 100 million, just by his 200 million dry shares!
Now his task is to go to BHP Billiton again to open the board of directors, and quickly agitate BHP Billiton's directors, as well as Rothschilds. Hostile takeover of Rio Tinto.
What Li Zhiyang needs to do is to make investment adjustments at any time according to the news sent back by James.
This is called real inside information, and this kind of money is really easy to come by! If you don't make money, you don't make money, who doesn't make money for nothing?
Sure enough, a few days after Rio Tinto rejected BHP's offer again, BHP spoke again, this time with strong words from their spokesperson.
BHP announced that they have sent another offer to Rio Tinto, but the price of this offer has not been announced, but if Rio Tinto does not know how to raise this time, "BHP Billiton does not rule out the possibility of using tough means to carry out a hostile takeover in the market!"
BHP's speech, not long after it was published, Rio Tinto responded quickly, and this time the answer is still the same!"
It seems that James's plan was successful, and I don't know what method he used to make this Rio Tinto. Dare to answer such a tough answer to BHP Billiton, and I want to fight them to the death!
This made BHP Billiton feel very faceless, and announced on the same day that it would make a hostile takeover of Rio Tinto in the market!
The news has been released, and Rio Tinto's share price has taken the lead in rising in response to several important capital markets in the world. It seems that the big guys are interested in the war between the two families, and this Rio Tinto stock is a cash coupon!
If Will&B expands its actions, this stock will definitely appreciate in value!
I've been too busy lately to make time for the school team. Don't blame you if there's a typo!
