Sinkrude's acquisition is already hopeless, if he can't even get his hands on Northwest Mining now, then this year will definitely be his most failed year, and Kevin will definitely not allow such a situation to happen.

Even if he can't win Sinkrude, but to be able to win the current Northwest Mining, although it is a bit of a feeling of not competing for all the work, but for BHP, it can be regarded as a great achievement.

Relatively recent predators in the resource industry like BHP Billiton, although they are nominally a company, their scale, in the field of resource industry, is definitely an aircraft carrier, equivalent to the thirties of the last century, Mobil was not split in the oil industry at that time, the same status as a monopoly.

Although they do not play the title of industry giants, they have undoubted pricing power in many commodity trading markets in this industry.

How can they put a price on a commodity? Relying on nothing more than the mines all over the world in his own hands.

After World War II, the Rothschild family was a good learner, and it was a huge failure for them to withdraw from the United States, and they withdrew from the United States, and it was Morgan and Rockefeller who became successful, as well as some other American conglomerates.

The success of the Rockefeller model made them realize the importance of monopolizing the resource industry for a family.

So they also began to extend their hands to the field of oil resources, but at that time, in the field of oil resources, the world leaders were Rockefeller of the United States and Shell of Europe, and they could only get a certain amount of equity in BP in the United Kingdom, but they could not do absolute control.

This made them very unhappy. So they began to do it quietly. Even in order to get more oil resources. They were even willing to cooperate with the Russians, who had always looked down on them, and the Baku oil fields of the former Soviet Union at that time were always in their hands.

But the good times did not last long, and the appearance of Hitler's madman completely ruined their dream of controlling the Baku oil fields.

After World War II, they were driven out of the oil resources industry in addition to some of their shares in BP.

However, they quickly adjusted their business strategy, since the oil resources could not be played. Then there are plenty of other resources in the world to play with.

For example, iron ore, such as uranium, chuan, deuterium, etc., and many rare metals, with the era of science after World War II, mankind quickly entered the electronic age.

The originally inconspicuous rare metals were quickly applied to the processing of electronic components by scientists, and monopolized these mineral resources. The same can bring them huge benefits every year.

And they have been in this industry for a long time, they know. Some mineral resources are not very abundant on the earth, or they are difficult to mine and costly.

Use a little less, so as long as you master these mineral resources, then the price, you don't have to worry.

And it wasn't until the 70s of the last century, when the countries of the Middle East became independent and took back their oil exploitation rights, that Rothschild suddenly found out.

It turns out that controlling the business of these precious metal raw materials is actually no worse than controlling the price of oil, after all, those Middle Eastern oil exporting countries have formed an OPEC that can control the annual production and price of oil.

The Shell and Rockefeller who originally monopolized this industry are no longer easy to speak in this field, but not many people pay attention to the field of non-ferrous precious metals they control, and after decades of operation, they have been able to become a monopoly.

controlled the absolute right to speak in this field, and it was precisely by relying on the business of these non-ferrous metals that their family quickly recovered from the damage after World War II.

So after that, they paid more attention to the pricing power in this field, to put it bluntly, the control of various high-reserve mineral land, and the tireless pursuit of various mineral fields over the years even made them have an obsession with these mineral fields.

So at this time, if they can win Northwest Mining, no matter how much it costs the Rothschild family, it will not be considered a failure.

Kevin, though, doesn't think so.

"How many of their chips do we have left?"

Kevin asked, and Jack, who was standing behind him, as the main trader, immediately gave a statistic.

"Two hours before the market closes this afternoon, we have smashed eight percent into it, and now we should still have more than ten percent of their shares."

"Well, as soon as the market opens tomorrow, I will continue to smash them, smash their stock prices for me, and then recycle them at a low price, and within three days, I will grasp as many shares as possible for them, and the final bottom line is 25 percent, and with 25 percent of the shares, we can go to Canada to negotiate with them."

Kevin said expressionlessly, although he already hated this company to death in his heart, there were still some things he had to do.

At the same time that he gritted his teeth with hatred, Heidi had just finished talking to Li Yifan on the phone and informed him of the good news of the success of the plan.

Although the news announced by BHP Billiton suppressed the stock price of Northwest Mining, from another aspect, the cash flow in their hands could no longer hold up, otherwise they would not have used such an off-market move.

And the rest, it's up to them to toss it, Northwest Mining was originally defined by them as Heidi's constant blood loss wound, but now it has become a sharp weapon that constantly sucks their blood, and in the next period of time, no matter how they toss, as long as Heidi shows her 55% absolute controlling stake in her hand, then she will be invincible.

Another happy event was the acquisition of Sinkrude.

In the past few days, Heidi has not only done Bogard's work, but many Canadian parliamentarians have also received gifts or money from her.

And politicians in Quebec are inextricably linked to her family.

To outsiders, Quebec has always been a very unfamiliar region, and even the Canadian media rarely covers the region because of its sensitive relationships.

Most of the inhabitants of this area are of French descent, and they have always had an inexplicable sense of belonging to their European homeland.

Even now, they often shout the slogan of independence.

The Americans don't want them to be independent, the British don't want either, and the Canadians don't want to.

Therefore, the European and American media, which control the discourse power of the world's mainstream media, usually pay more attention to the relationship between the treasure island and the mainland, and as for the relationship between Quebec and Canada, they ignore it.

They can even repeat a referendum on the people of Ukraine, but they turn a blind eye to the referendum of the people of Quebec.

Even at the height of the uproar, a Canadian prime minister threatened to use force against the people of the region......

Therefore, it can be said that some people in Quebec have always been a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of the British leaders in Canada, but they are a group of people who must not be ignored.

They have a mediocre and sometimes antagonistic relationship with the people of other parts of the country, but Heidi has a pretty good relationship with their leaders because of her special status.

It is precisely because of this special relationship that there are many people in Congress who attach great importance to Heidi, after all, her role is equivalent to a very good middleman, a conciliator.

There are a lot of things that they can't say to anywhere, but Heidi can help them get the word across.

This makes Heidi, a businessman, suddenly have a very important position and role in Canadian politics, and is the object of many people's scrambling.

Some people want her financial support, while others want to realize their political ambitions through her, after all, the political energy she represents is quite unusual.

It is precisely because of this background that Heidi's Haiyuan Company has a smooth and unhindered journey when it acquires Sinkrud.

Everyone knows the value of Sinkrud's company, but is it wise to offend Heidi for the sake of such a company?

The answer is obviously no, anyway, it is a state-owned asset, and to whom is it not sold to?

And the price offered by others is not low, sell it to her, and you can also get a benefit, let her owe you a favor, maybe when, when you are in need, she can provide you with unexpected help.

Therefore, the bill on Sinkrude's acquisition was passed with almost no effort after it was discussed in the Diet.

On this issue, the ruling party and the opposition party in the Canadian parliament have reached a rare tacit understanding, because everyone wants Heidi's help and does not want to offend her.

Therefore, it only took two weeks to pass the vote of Haiyuan Company to acquire Sinkelud Company.

This is a once-in-a-century efficiency for the often bickering parliament.

At the same time that Heidi got Sinkrud, Kevin and the others finally got their 25 percent stake in Northwest Mining on the New York Stock Exchange.

It's just that the price they paid this time was far higher than what they originally set, and even several times higher.

Throwing in more than two billion dollars inside and out, and only getting 25 percent of the company's shares, Kevin felt humiliated, a heavy sense of frustration that has been haunting his heart for the past few days.

But soon this emotion was left behind by him, business belongs to business, and personal emotions are best not mixed in it, which is a very important truth that his father taught him back then, but unfortunately at the beginning of this operation, he forgot about it.

But it's not too late to think about it, Heidi, let's see, before stepping on the plane to Vancouver, Kevin glanced back at Manhattan in the distance, and then thought viciously...... (To be continued......)
