Chapter 1758: Counterattack
The old men were chatting happily, discussing the so-called national affairs that ordinary people may not care about for the rest of their lives, and Zhang Lan also had her own work, because during this time, the Alice Group was not able to subdue Little Japan as quickly as in the past, and some foreign consortia began to move
Although similar to this form of acquisition activities, one or two years are fast, and it is not impossible to last for ten or eight years, but this situation seems to be a little inapplicable to Alice Group, as long as it is something that Alice Group has taken a fancy to, it has always been in its own hands with a thunderbolt, this time although Alice Group is very big, but ...... In the eyes of many, this time has also dragged on for too long? The most important thing is that the Alice Group is dealing with a country on its own this time, can they do it?
If you have doubts, you will naturally have ideas, although you are still worried about whether what you do will offend the Alice Group, but some guys have already begun to wonder whether to let their little minions test the reaction of the Alice Group and see what the Alice Group means
In their opinion, at this critical time, in order to successfully grasp Japan's automobile industry, aerospace industry and machinery manufacturing industry, Alice Group must go all out.
First and foremost, the financial industry
In terms of industry, the strength of Alice Group cannot be shaken by anyone, but in terms of the financial industry, Alice Group does not appear to be so strong, in this case, it may be the best way to test the reaction of Alice Group from the financial industry? It is a well-known fact that in the world, there is only one consortium that is the most outstanding in playing the game of controlling industrial capital with finance, and that is the Rockefeller consortium of the United States
Although it is based on the oil industry, the strength of the financial industry and banking industry under the Rockefeller consortium should not be underestimated, especially the continuous cross-shareholding and mutual penetration with the Morgan consortium over the years, to a certain extent, the current Rockefeller consortium and the Morgan consortium have become one
On July 3, the Federal Reserve, which is controlled by US conglomerates, released a message that it would cut the interest rate on commercial loans by 0.5 percentage points and the interest rate on short-term bank loans by 1.1 percentage points
One stone stirs up a thousand waves
Anyone who knows a little about international finance knows that the Americans are planning to make a big move this time, and only by explaining it in this way can we explain why the Federal Reserve suddenly adopted a way to stimulate the economy when the economic situation is good, such as cutting interest rates, which is only adopted when the economy is tight
What is the Fed going to do? What are the Americans going to do? Who are they going to do it to financially? Some people are confused; Some countries are panicking, the financial knife raised by the Americans is really terrible, which Fed's interest rate hike or interest rate reduction action will not cause a financial storm in the world?
————————————————————————
"Is the Fed's action aimed at us?" Zhang Lan frowned, and there was a faint feeling of bad feeling in her heart, although the Alice Group's own abundant funds were outrageous, even if it was a heavyweight activity like a war with Japan, there was no need to borrow loans from the banking industry, theoretically speaking, it seemed that the Federal Reserve's interest rate cut action would not have any impact on the daily business activities of the Alice Group, but I don't know why, Zhang Lan always had a faint uneasiness in her heart
Zhang Lan remembers very well that although there is about to be a financial storm sweeping the world, it has not yet begun, and countless economists and scholars are constantly singing praises for the current global economic situation
"Something is not quite right," Xiao Chenxi's brows also frowned slightly, "Now the economic situation in the United States is thriving, and there are even some signs of overheating investment...... If the Fed bastards aren't doing some small thing, that's absolutely unreasonable."
The bad feeling in their hearts made both of them feel bad: it seems that the intelligence collection work will be intensified, and there will be an imminent sniping campaign against Japanese finance...... The two of them were suddenly startled and said in unison, "Our plan has been leaked? ”,
If its plan to snipe at the yen is leaked, it is completely understandable that the Fed suddenly made the decision to cut interest rates at this time, because Americans absolutely do not want to see such a thing happen to Japan, how can they effectively help Japan? The best way is to give Japan a large amount of financial support, and at the same time let the United States and even the world's massive amount of money be pooled into the Japanese stock market, and cooperate with the Japanese government to snipe at the Alice Group
No matter how strong Alice Group is, in the face of more than 8 trillion US dollars in international travel funds around the world, coupled with the Japanese government, it is absolutely difficult and difficult to deal with, and a careless person will definitely be doomed
But how exactly did this plan get out? Zhang Lan and Xiao Chenxi were a little puzzled at the same time: this plan is still just a plan, only a few people know about this plan, and they are all the closest people around them, and the content of the plan is impossible to leak out
But if the plan wasn't leaked, how would the Fed's unannounced interest rate cut be explained? For a while, Zhang Lan and Xiao Chenxi both fell silent
"Perhaps...... The Americans want to take advantage of Japan's weakness for a while? Zhang Lan said tentatively
"Pour ...... It's not that there is no such possibility" After weighing it carefully, Xiao Chenxi nodded, her frowning brows expanded slightly, Zhang Lan's words are indeed explainable, "But the top priority is to quickly understand the intentions of the Federal Reserve and the U.S. government and the real reason for this sudden interest rate cut, if the Americans want to take advantage of the Japanese, then it's just that, we can also take the opportunity to move; But if there is a leak of our plans......"
Speaking of this, Xiao Chenxi's words came to an abrupt end
Zhang Lan nodded, his face was heavy, if the previous plan to snipe at the Japanese financial industry was leaked, and the United States wanted to warn itself in this way, then the problem would be serious, it would mean that there is definitely a scum and mole at the top of the Alice Group This guy is a huge time bomb placed within the Alice Group, if this guy is not removed, the Alice Group will always be terrified from now on, and he wants to live a stable life
————————————————————————
With the collective attention of Zhang Lan, Xiao Chenxi and Alice, the intelligence system of the Alice Group quickly revolved around this matter
This is not a matter that needs to be kept secret, three days later, the content of the information was placed on Zhang Lan and Xiao Chenxi's desks, looking at the information obtained by the Alice Group at a huge cost, Zhang Lan and Xiao Chenxi all breathed a sigh of relief: It's okay, it's okay, as long as there is no problem within the Alice Group
But in an instant, Xiao Chenxi and Zhang Lan's hearts burned with rage: The Americans' move is too arrogant and too inattentive? Want to rip a piece of meat off Alice Group? I don't know if they have such good teeth and digestion
The Americans never imagined that a decision they made suddenly would provoke the anger of Alice and Zhang Lan
On July 10, the stock markets of the three major stock markets in the United States, the three major stock markets in Europe, and the stock markets of other countries had just opened, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, the largest investment bank in the United States and the second largest bank in the world, suddenly encountered a hostile takeover by unknown funds, and in a short period of three hours, this mysterious force actually pocketed more than 5 percent of the shares of J.P. Morgan Investment Bank circulating in the market
JPMorgan Chase Bank is the product of the merger of J.P. Morgan Investment Bank and Chase Bank under the Rockefeller consortium in 2000, as of the first half of this year, its total assets have exceeded 775.1 billion US dollars, second only to Citibank, which is the world's first and has total assets of 791 billion US dollars
This is a huge acquisition worth more than 400 billion US dollars, even the Morgan consortium that holds the most shares of JPMorgan Chase Bank only holds 16.51% of the shares of JPMorgan Chase Bank, and the Rockefeller consortium, which is in second place, only holds 14.32% of the shares, which means that through a morning of acquisition, this mysterious force has become the third largest shareholder of the United States and the world's second largest bank.
For a time, by the time the market closed at noon, the entire world stock market was silent
At this time, if all the people who eat this bowl of rice no longer know that someone came out in vain to challenge the Morgan family, the number one giant in the world's financial industry, then this guy does not need to be confused, because everyone knows that in the face of this sudden challenger, the Morgan consortium and the Rockefeller consortium, which were suddenly blown up with chrysanthemums, will never be so good This mysterious force just caught the Morgan consortium and the Rockefeller consortium off guard
But knowing and knowing, everyone is curious, where did the whole mysterious force come from? After all, if it weren't for the extremely powerful existence, there would be no one to challenge the strength of the Morgan family...... As a financial family that has dominated the financial industry in the United States and Europe for half a century, its strength is naturally unquestionable
Of course, this situation was reported to the bosses of J.P. Morgan Chase Bank as soon as the hostile takeover of J.P. Morgan Chase Bank appeared: the Morgan family, the largest financial industry control family in the United States, and the Rockefeller family, the control family of World Energy
This kind of situation has been seen several times in the past, but the Morgan family obviously does not care about it: can the property of the powerful Morgan family be shaken by a small hostile takeover? In the face of this challenge, no one in the entire Morgan family took it seriously
But it doesn't mean that the two families don't pay attention to this matter, in fact, from the sudden hostile takeover activity in the morning, the two major consortia smelled a hint of bad smell, this guy who suddenly appeared, absolutely ill-intentioned, but in the eyes of the bigwigs of the Morgan consortium and the Rockefeller consortium, this guy can toss this is the end of it, through a morning of hostile takeover, has consumed almost 400 billion US dollars of their funds
The Morgan family and the Rockefeller family have been in contact with the major banks in the United States and the world, and they have not received any news that any company has borrowed short-term huge bank loans from these banks, which means that the funds that have emerged in the stock market are actually the own funds of this mysterious force, if this is the case...... The people of the Morgan consortium and the Rockefeller consortium all sneered in unison: Lao Tzu has already said hello to the world's major banks, and there will definitely be no bank that will lend you money, without the support of the bank, I don't believe how much money you have to make an acquisition in the afternoon
This is also justified, the self-confidence of the Morgan consortium and the Rockefeller consortium is justified, because in this world, except for banks, unless it is to mobilize the power of the state, no business group has such a strong strength, for example, the whole world knows that Microsoft's free reserve funds are outrageous, but how much is Microsoft's free reserve? 50 billion US dollars, which is even enough to make the envy of banks around the world, but what is the amount of Alice Group's own funds? Counting the Japan that was robbed a while ago, it has exceeded 500 billion
The U.S. dollar is not a butt-wiping paper-like yen
If you have money in your pocket, you will naturally not panic, and Alice Group will naturally be able to mobilize funds at this time, and warn some American consortium bigwigs in this way, this plan is also the result of Zhang Lan, Xiao Chenxi, and Alice's careful consideration, and the acquisition of shares in J.P. Morgan Chase Bank in the United States is beneficial and harmless for Alice Group
Alice Group's approach is a bit shameless and a bit inferior, that is, to use money to smash money, but I have to admit that this method can have unexpected effects in many cases, if Soros has enough money to smash in during the Asian financial crisis, it is not impossible to directly smash the economically underdeveloped continent at that time, but unfortunately, Soros does not have such strong financial strength
What no one expected was that when the afternoon opened, the mysterious force that appeared in the morning suddenly broke out with a powerful force, and once again made a rapid acquisition of the shares of J.P. Morgan Chase Bank circulating in the market, although after a morning of preparation, the United States JPMorgan Chase Bank, which has mobilized a large amount of funds for sniping, was still acquired 3.278% of the shares again, so far, this guy has mastered nearly 9% of the shares of J.P. Morgan Chase Bank in the United States, is already the third largest shareholder of J.P. Morgan Chase Bank in the United States, and it is the kind that wants to occupy at least one board of directors on the board of directors and has a considerable voice.
In the face of the tentative attack of the American consortium, no one expected that the counterattack of the Alice Group began, and it was so sharp and ferocious
————————————————————————
The Morgan consortium and the Rockefeller consortium, which have always relied on their wealth to bully others, never thought that they originally thought that someone would send money to them, but who would have thought that this guy who sent money was too powerful, and he became his partner when he sent it
The Morgan family and the Rockefeller family are angry in their hearts, but now that the wood is in the boat, although they are angry in their hearts, there is no way, but there is no way, it is really this guy who is too fast to act, so fast that he can't react at all, you know, in such an activity, as the richest subject: J.P. Morgan Chase Bank of the United States cannot participate, and the shareholders of J.P. Morgan Chase Bank of the United States can carry out a reverse takeover, but they need time to mobilize funds
If it was in the past, it would be fine, because such acquisitions would last for months or even months, as long as there is a period of two or three days, it is enough to mobilize and coordinate enough funds by himself, but who would have thought that this guy's waist board would be so thick? The acquisition was completed in just one day
The shares of J.P. Morgan Chase Bank in the market only account for about 65% of the total number of shares of J.P. Morgan Chase Bank in the United States, and the remaining 35% are held by the major directors, of course, this is only superficial, because the market is less than 65% at all, only about 24%, where does the remaining 41% go? In fact, it is still in the hands of the major shareholders and directors
But helplessly, the number of major shareholders and directors is really a bit much, the directors of J.P. Morgan Chase Bank in the United States, not only the top 10 consortia in the United States, but also the Japanese consortium and the European consortium, according to the corresponding regulations, as long as the shares held account for more than 2.5% of the total shares of J.P. Morgan Chase Bank in the United States, you can occupy a director seat on the board of directors of the company, this mysterious shareholder now holds nearly 9% in his hands The shares of J.P. Morgan Chase Bank in the United States, a seat of directors with a lot of weight, that can't run away
Who is this guy? The Morgan family and the Rockefeller family secretly gritted their teeth
