Chapter 240: The Red Shield Family
Synchronous reading on mobile phones
People want to buy Rio Tinto. Dream the tip! Even if you can buy Rio Tinto... It's like throwing money in the water, and finally buying an empty shell.
It's like after the acquisition of the personal ratio of the imagination computer, the procurement standard of the US government immediately changed from the original computer that used the four shades to Dell or HP, to the current Apple.
Even many Mi Guoda companies in China are the same, they originally only used Siyou's computer, but they immediately switched to Dell's computer when they just acquired Siyou's personal ratio.
In short, to put it bluntly, they just need to earn the money of your Celestial Empire, and you earn his money. That's impossible! Especially in some places where they consider themselves proud!
"Haha. I guessed that you must have some idea of this company. Old Zhan Yaosi saw that he had guessed Li Zhiyang's idea. He was delighted.
He was happy not only because he guessed that Li Zhiyang wanted to buy this Rio Tinto company, but also because it was rare for Li Zhiyang to be so young and so rich.
But he didn't lose his ambition just because he was already rich.
"Well, I know what you said, you have to know what we Rockefeller started." Of course, James understands what Li Zhiyang said.
As a member of a big family that originally started by having resources, how could he not know the meaning of what Li Zhiyang said.
"Then you support my microservice?. Li Zhiyang asked directly, he didn't want to be in circles.
To be honest, he was a bit hot-headed at the beginning and wanted to buy the Rio Tinto company.
It was only later that he remembered. Even if Jen Yao Sken helps. The money in his hand is not necessarily enough, and he has billions of dollars in his hand now.
Although he still has a lot of shares in ExxonMehu and Citibank, ExxonMehu's shares, when he negotiated with George, had already agreed that they could not mortgage the bank for loans.
And Citi's shares, now is the time when the financial crisis broke out, Citi's shares have fallen quite sharply, to be honest.
So when it comes to the acquisition of Rio Tinto, he really has so much capital.
After all, Rio Tinto is a world-class large-scale mining company, and it is the second largest world-class mining company in the world after Billiton Rio Tinto.
This company was injured at the time of the year. The profit before taxes was $400 million, and the total trade volume that year was $100 million, with a market value of nearly $100 billion.
By the end of the year, BHP, the world's largest mining company, had a market capitalization of $200 million. And the second-largest Rio Tinto company is a large company with a market capitalization of US dollars.
So with the billions of dollars he has in his hand, it's really a bit difficult to pry into the corner of Rio Tinto. Even if the old James is willing to help him, it is estimated that the two of them will be able to make up more than 10 billion US dollars at most, which is still a drop in the bucket compared to this large company.
"Industrialization and urbanization in the Celestial Empire and other emerging economies are driving demand for metals, ores, and energy products, changing global consumption patterns
After listening to Li Zhiyang's question, Aunt Zhan did not rush to answer, but bought the pass.
Li Zhiyang also knew that this James was still a little expected. At this time, I also wanted to hear what he wanted to say, so I didn't say anything, and listened to James start to speak.
"Based on Rio Tinto's reported data for recent years, I know the incredible pace of growth in global steel demand. Ten years ago, the annual steel production of the Celestial Empire was about 100 million tons, accounting for the total world output at that time, Wei, which was similar to that of the United States. Year of the blade. The Celestial Empire accounts for more than one-third of the world's steel production. The United States only occupies both. And now the Celestial Empire's steel industry is still growing rapidly, and the world's new steel production in the past decade has come from the Celestial Empire. Of course, the Celestial Empire is only one of the most representative emerging market countries, and countries such as India will follow. In my judgment, the challenge for these mining companies is how to secure supply as a result of the industrialization of hundreds of millions of people, which will bring strong demand for resources such as iron ore
James smiled and said a bunch of data, Li Zhiyang didn't know much about the situation of Rio Tinto, he only knew that this kind of broken resource company was very profitable.
The bad perception of this and Rio Tinto is also because of some memories of the previous life, and it was just a little impulsive to say that the acquisition of this company was just a little impulsive, and I didn't think too much about it. But at this time, Jen Thumbs said that this bunch of data came out. Li Zhiyang was also surprised, it turned out that this James was really not given in vain, and the antiques of Rio Tinto were not in vain, and they had quite an opinion on the prospects of these monopoly resource enterprises.
"So, you agree with me, huh?" As soon as Li Zhiyang heard the meaning of Zhan Yaosi's words, he knew that this old guy was indeed moving.
"Yes, Yang! You also know how my family started, my great-grandfather deceived ... What a great man the founder of the Rockefeller family was. He founded the company in his later years, and when he was in his age of witches, it was the most glorious time. His company controls the candles of the oil refining industry in the United States. But all of this was destroyed by the shitty Sherman Antitrust Act, and the oil empire was broken up into regional oil companies
The elder Janios began to talk about his family history, as a Rockefeller, a traditional Rockefeller. He talked about his own history, which is a treasure.
"As a Rockefeller, I'm always thinking about restoring the glory of my family. But you know that this is almost impossible in the current carrying, "two mediums, oil is the blood of industry." Is any, verbal scheming is allowed. Monopolized by any one family. Although in recent years, our family has turned to the dark side and gradually regained some control over Meihu, but this is also limited. But a big mining company, there won't be so many claims now, and these resources are non-renewable, in the near future, I believe that this industry is very promising, since we can't control oil. So it's not bad to control a big company like this, and the main mining area of this company is in Australia, you know where it's not a rice country. Those Aussie idiots out there. The ancestors are just criminals, and even if we get hold of this company, they won't dare to do anything with us.
Old James was talking at this time about foaming at the mouth and radiant, and the ambitions of his youth seemed to have returned to him at this time.
To be honest, I talked so much to Li Zhiyang today, it was really because of this Li Zhiyang, he felt more and more that he had too much appetite for him, and he was young. Rich, brainy, and the key is ambition. He liked it.
"But Jenvis, we don't have that much money. At this time, Li Zhiyang had calmed down from the crazy thoughts just now, and he raised a crucial question.
"Huh! How much can you take out of this Yang? If I make a scrape here, I can estimate that I can make up more than 10 billion
Old James was also reminded by Li Zhiyang at this time, and woke up from the crazy fantasy just now. It's true that they don't have any money.
Their lack of money is just relative to a behemoth with a market value of more than 100 billion yuan like Rio Tinto. You must know that when the old James and Li Zhiyang's funds are put together, there will be almost more than 20 billion. But for a company with a market value of more than 100 billion. That's still not enough.
Li Zhiyang didn't say anything, thinking about something. James thought that Li Zhiyang wanted to retreat, and the leakage that had just been ignited was also a little cooled down at this time.
It's true that they don't have enough money, and if they don't have enough money, then what are they talking about acquisitions?
Li Zhiyang thought for a while, and then said to Zhan Yaosi with a smile: "If you don't have enough money, what are you afraid of?" When is it now, the subprime mortgage crisis has just broken out, I believe that with the spread of this crisis, Rio Tinto's life will definitely be difficult at that time, and I estimate that as long as we can have tens of billions of dollars in our hands, we can win such a company
With the spread of the subprime mortgage crisis, large international transactions such as ore began to shrink in August of this year, and almost fell to the lowest point in the stupid year, when Rio Tinto was almost about to declare bankruptcy, if it were not for a stupid company in the Celestial Empire, it announced the acquisition of this company. The company is bound to go bankrupt.
At that time, what Li Zhiyang couldn't understand the most was why this extremely stupid Celestial Empire company didn't wait for Rio Tinto to declare bankruptcy before buying it. It's about buying it before they go bankrupt. And it was also a high-profile announcement. As a result, within a few days, Rio Tinto's stock immediately began to skyrocket, so that Rio Tinto made a profit, full of money, and after the company had funds, people immediately began to drag out time, play Tai Chi, and the beginning of dark Chen Cang and BHP Billiton began to talk about cooperation.
As soon as the deal between them and BHP Billiton was completed, they immediately unilaterally tore up the cooperation agreement with the Celestial Empire and paid you more than 100 million US dollars.
And this Celestial Empire is stupid, in the past, it has repeatedly invested more than 10 billion US dollars in this company, although it has become a major shareholder, but it has no right to speak, no right to speak, so what benefits can you get from the enterprise of the Celestial Empire?
You said you wait for dividends, okay, then you wait! Let's see when you can put your investment of more than 19 billion yuan and wait for it back!
"Haha. That's right! How could I have forgotten this, and don't forget that I am still one of BHP's shareholders! Haha, someone in the company has long said that they are going to buy Rio Tinto, haha, why don't we make a profit from here, this matter has been submitted to the board of directors, and I will definitely try my best to facilitate the passage of this matter at that time, hahaha
Old James suddenly remembered something, and then said it out loud, and laughed wildly when he finished speaking, which showed the ecstasy in his heart.
Li Zhiyang was also stunned at first, but then he reacted, it turned out that this old man was really not simple. He must also have a small vest company that holds a stake in BHP Billiton.
You must know that BHP Billiton is the world's largest mining company, and it is not only engaged in iron ore, but also oil. Precious metals, but also uranium, which was urgently needed for the atomic bomb.
"Is it a micro-service? That's great, James is small, but you're sure you'll be able to convince BHP's board. Hands-on micro service to Rio Tinto?.
Li Zhiyang knew that James must have a controlling stake in BHP Billiton, but he only has a small stake in Rio Tinto, and it is estimated that there will not be much more in BHP Billiton, after all, BHP Billiton is much larger than Rio Tinto.
"Haha, what's the board of directors doing with those guys? They are just puppets, and the real mastermind behind BHP Billiton is the Red Shield family from Europe. But I have a relationship with them. Not bad. Haha, God help me! ”
Old James smiled and broke the news to Li Zhiyang.
As soon as Li Zhiyang heard about this family, he immediately gasped in his heart, the Rothschilds of the Red Shield family, this is a well-known family!
Compared to them, the Rockefellers can only be regarded as nouveau riche, the Red Shield family. It's almost a miraculous pure presence on earth. Quite a few years ago, the first generation of Rockefeller and Morgan were just little brothers who followed Rothschild and mixed up behind the ass. Small and dragon approaching the year. Rothschild made a strategic mistake. They thought that Mi Xiao would not have much development, so they abolished all the banks in Mi Guo.
This also gave Morgan the opportunity to lead to the rise of Morgan and Rockefeller in later generations.
The reason why this family is known to the majority of people in the Celestial Empire is probably because of the "Currency War"!
This family has been active in Europe for many years, known as the controller of the dark side of the world, and at its peak, this family controlled half of the total wealth of the earth, reaching 50 trillion US dollars. It is equivalent to four times the current rice country concave, and the treasury bonds of the world's major economies are issued by them, and the opening price of world gold is determined by them every day. At that time, the stock markets of various countries also fluctuated with the flow of Rothschild's wealth. Some even call their family the Sixth Reich, which is above Britain, France, Germany, and Austria!
Their family emblem has also become a symbol of the world's financial rights!
Their family was prosperous at the time, and they were the guests of European royal families, or nobles, and those in power.
This money is too much, and it is not a good thing, for example, once you are really rich and rival the country, then the direct consequence is that the country will fight you.
For example, Shen Wansan, who was rich enough in the Ming Dynasty, helped Zhu Yuanzhang contribute money and efforts, and even Nanjing City was built by him, what was the result? It's not a family assignment yet!
The Red Shield family inevitably suffered such a fate, precisely because of their lack of cooperation with Hitler, which led to Hitler's crazy revenge.
Throughout World War II, the Red Shield family suffered heavy losses, and many of their industries were in Eastern Europe and continental Europe. All destroyed by the Germans.
With the outbreak of World War II, many of Rothschild's industries in Germany, France, and Italy were destroyed by the Nazis! The property located in France was nationalized and confiscated by France after the war.
Moreover, the Iron Curtain of the Cold War after the war caused Rothscaild to be greatly injured, and many industries in Eastern Europe were taken over by local countries or occupied by the Soviet Union.
The only relatively intact ones are the current ones in England, the Rothsjend family.
However, although the Rothschild family suffered heavy losses throughout World War II, no one can say how much energy this family has.
In World War II, the most critical point of this family learning is to keep a low profile, so the current Red Shield family, in the whole world, may not be as famous as Rockefeller. It is because they know the importance of keeping a low profile.
According to people familiar with the matter, the Rothschilds are now in decline, but this is only "insiders." It's just a statement, this, the Red Shield family, how big it is now, and how thick the family background is, no one can say.
Many people think that Rothschild is finished and their family is completely in decline, but if you really think so, then you are wrong.
An interesting phenomenon is that whenever there is a major turning point in the times, the media always sneers at the Rothschilds, believing that this ancient family will soon go down the stage of history like dinosaurs, but every time they guess wrong.
This is precisely because they underestimate the Rothschilds' amoeba-like ability to adapt to the environment.
With the two heirloom spiritual weapons of "resilience" and "bravery", the family quickly integrated into the trend of the times and continued to thrive in the business world.
The current Red Shield family, on the surface, only has a few banks, and there is a Rothschild Bank in London, which is not very large, mainly doing some mergers and acquisitions, and their business is mainly carried out in Europe, and it is only ranked first in the world mergers and acquisitions list for 6 years.
And according to people familiar with the matter, the Rothschild bank is not large. The annual turnover is less than 100 million US dollars, the profit is estimated to be only 100 million US dollars, and the total assets are only 100 million US dollars.
This income and assets are not even a fraction of Citigroup's, no wonder people say that Rothschild has declined. People think that since the yo years, the big banks have begun to go public to raise funds, but the Rothschilds are still using their own funds to do things, they are outdated.
However, they ignore the fact that until now, all the banks of the Rothschild family have refused to be listed, which means that they do not have to publish annual reports at all.
In this way, only the core members of the family know how much business they have invested in the earth and how much money they have made on the earth over the past two hundred years. Its impact in the world economy can only be discovered by a very small number of attentive professionals.
The other one that came out on the surface was the French branch of Red Shield, a guy named Davide, who also had a Rothschild bank in France.
He only has a few employees at Rothschild Bank in France, but these people are elite soldiers, even if they compete with Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs, who have more than 10,000 people, they can still deal with it easily. If you make a typo, forgive me!
About the Red Shield family, most of it is true.
