Chapter 558: The Lethality of the Nest
For the Oppenheimer family, Tang Feng was ruthless to play them to death, although there is no direct evidence to prove that the Zambian attack was instigated by the Oppenheimer family, but from the comprehensive intelligence collected during this period, the attack that caused Tang Feng to almost be killed was in fact Nicky. Oppenheimer himself arranged it.
It's just that the people directly involved in this matter, one has died in the hospital because of a "heart attack", and the other is far away from home and can't catch that guy for the time being, so the final conclusion has not been determined.
But even so, it did not prevent Tang Feng from letting go of his hands and feet to deal with the Oppenheimer family. Now that the decision has been made to swallow Anglo American, the last big stone in front of us must be removed.
And Sam's methods are also quite ruthless, after getting Tang Feng's clear instructions, this guy and several financial experts at JPMorgan Chase formulated a series of plans to block the Oppenheimer family from all aspects. As a well-known family in South Africa and one of the largest families in the world, the Oppenheimer family has more than just Anglo American and Dai American. Beers has other investments in South Africa, Australia, Canada and New Zealand.
But these investment projects, in just half a month, were hit by an inexplicable force, which made the family's assets shrink by one-third in just half a month.
Of course, the Oppenheimer family knew why, they couldn't deal with the powerful Tang Feng, but for the current leader of the family, Nicky. Oppenheimer had considerable oversight powers. And a family, especially one that has been passed down for several generations, is huge.
As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. The same applies to the current Oppenheimer family.
In this huge family, there are also many people who have coveted the position of family leader for a long time. Oppenheimer had a monopoly on power, and he did a pretty good job in every way, so those people couldn't find a chance to take Nicky. Oppenheimer was pulled down from the position of head of the family. But this time was different. The recession of the international mining environment in the past two years has made Dai. Beers and Anglo American have seen rare negative profit growth, which has already made some within the Oppenheimer family angry.
Coupled with the various kinds of blocking incidents against the Oppenheimer family that have occurred in the last month or so, this has made those guys even more sore feet. For a time, the Oppenheimer family was targeting Nicky. Oppenheimer's opposition is growing.
And Nicky, who is nearly sixty years old. Oppenheimer suffered blows from all sides during this time, especially Tang's arrogant and unreasonable blocking methods. Oppenheimer's exhaustion, coupled with discord within the family, caused the back garden to catch fire. This makes Nicky. Oppenheimer couldn't stand it.
Finally, half a month after the Datang Fund acquired a 68% stake in Anglo American, Nicky. Oppenheimer finally signed his name on an equity transfer agreement.
On this agreement, Nicky. Oppenheimer agreed to sell the Oppenheimer family's 24 percent stake in Anglo American to Datang Fund at market price, giving Datang Fund control 92 percent of Anglo American's shares.
Of course, Tang Feng paid nearly $10 billion for this. However, this is nothing to Tang Feng, and he can directly swallow Anglo American with more than 40 billion US dollars, which is not good for Tang. Definitely a big win.
Don't look at the current market value of Anglo American Group, which is only more than 20 billion US dollars, but most of that is caused by the international environment. In fact, Anglo American's various resources and channels are far from what her market value can show. Tang Feng spent more than $40 billion to win this old mining group, although he also had more than $40 billion in debt for it, but Tang Feng felt that it was very worthwhile.
Once Anglo American is controlled by Tang, Tang can carry out a drastic restructuring operation against this old mining group. In fact, Anglo American still has a lot of high-quality assets under its name. For example, the iron and manganese mines and coal mines under the name of this company, and of course, the copper and gold mines that are about to be hollowed out by Tang Feng.
Now, as long as the excellent assets under the name of Anglo American Group are restructured, the non-performing assets are stripped off, and combined with Tang's Mining, then Tang Feng is fully sure that Anglo American Group will regain great vitality in a short period of time!
And the most critical thing is. Tang Feng suddenly made a move to buy Anglo American, which caught the old aristocrats in Europe off guard. Anglo American is not one of the top companies in Europe by market capitalization, but it is one of the few mining groups in Europe that is controlled by the old families.
Royal Dutch Shell's market capitalization is sufficient, and the scale is large enough, but the company's projects are too single, and the same is true of BP in the United Kingdom, as for the Glencore, none of those old aristocrats are willing to turn this company into their camp. Although the market value of Anglo American is not very high, and the scale is not very large, the projects operated by this company are too rich, and with the help of those mines under their name, it is enough for those old aristocrats in Europe to extend their hands into those economically underdeveloped regions and countries, so as to facilitate their plundering of resources and funds in those regions and countries.
Similarly, the eight major gold producers who caused this financial war were also gathered in the name of Anglo American, and the old aristocrats in Europe originally wanted to take this opportunity to give the Americans a ruthless blow, but they did not expect to be disrupted by Tang Feng's unreasonable fist, and the battlefield scheduled by the old aristocrats in Europe was forcibly transferred to the international gold market.
Now it's even better, the banner of the eight major gold producers, Anglo American Group was swallowed directly by Tang Feng with lightning-like means, and one of the gold producers directly became a subsidiary under Tang Feng's name, especially this one that was the strongest of the eight gold producers a month ago, and now it has turned against it and directly announced that it will increase the gold production of Anglo Asanti again from next month, which is undoubtedly a blow to the old European aristocrats who are struggling to adhere to the international gold market. Let their situation immediately become precarious!
The lethality of the nest has always been the most powerful, and this time, Anglo Ashanti acted as the most lethal knife in the nest! (To be continued.) )
