When Yang Jing returned to the headquarters of KY Investment Fund in New York, Mike Ale was talking on the phone with a happy face, and when he saw Yang Jing coming, he quickly said a few words and hung up the phone.

"Look at your look, things are going well this trip. Yang Jing sat on the sofa and asked with a smile.

Mike Aller walked to the sofa opposite Yang Jing and sat down, "BOSS, tea or coffee?"

Yang Jing waved his hand and pointed to the bottle of mineral water he brought, Mike Aller smiled, poured hot water into his teacup, and said: "I called you back this time, mainly because there are three things I want to report to you, especially the first thing, which requires you to take an idea." ”

Putting down the kettle, Mike Aller closed the teacup. In the past two years, under the leadership of Yang Jing, Mike Ale has almost quit the coffee that he couldn't do without before, and began to drink green tea instead, and now he is as inseparable from green tea as he was back then.

That's a good thing, anyway, it's better to drink tea than coffee, and caffeine is not a good thing.

"Mike, let's talk about it. ”

"Well, the first thing is that with the close cooperation of Henry and David, Atlantic Capital, a subsidiary of KY Investment Fund, has completed the complete acquisition of Hartford German Citizen Company and Arlington Trust, and Atlantic Capital has spent a total of $17 billion on the acquisition of these two banks, of which Hartford German Civil Company has cost us $11 billion and Arlington Trust has spent $6 billion. ”

This is really good news, in Yang Jing's plan, the future of his own consortium is to take the bank as the core. A consortium cannot become a real consortium if it cannot control a large enough bank, so the acquisition of banks is the main work of the KY Investment Fund in the next period of time, and its importance even exceeds speculation in the financial market.

The dollar is worth a lot now, but it's also depreciating very quickly. Twenty years later, tens of billions of dollars in mergers and acquisitions are nothing, and hundreds of billions of dollars in mergers and acquisitions are happening from time to time, but in the eighties, the world's largest mergers and acquisitions were only $25 billion.

Now the KY investment fund is indeed very rich in hand, and in the same way, the current global stock market is actually unable to accommodate the current large capital of the KY investment fund, and in view of the damn tax system in the United States, so a large amount of money in the KY investment fund is now floating abroad, and even if the KY investment fund currently has capital in the United States, if you do not invest quickly, then it is a very heavy burden for the KY investment fund.

Therefore, Yang Jing, who is familiar with this era, decided to invest a huge amount of money to acquire some small-scale banks in the United States from now on.

Originally, Yang Jing didn't have a clue about acquiring small-scale banks in the United States, but the Boston consortium jumped out to find fault, so Yang Jing directly set his sights on the Boston consortium.

Hartford German Citizen Company and Arlington Trust were originally acquired by the Boston Consortium's Shawmart Company at the end of this year, and eventually formed into the Boston Consortium's core bank, the Boston National Shawmatt Bank. But because the Boston consortium provoked Yang Jing, Yang Jing directly decided to cut off the Boston consortium.

The Boston Consortium is one of the eight old American consortiums, but this consortium is not like Rockefeller, Morgan, DuPont, and Mellon like the family, which is formed with blood as the core, and the Boston Consortium, like the newly emerging Texas consortium and the California consortium after World War II, belongs to that kind of patchwork consortium, that is, a group of second-rate businessmen led by a few first-class businessmen, and finally formed a supergiant.

In fact, such a consortium is not so peaceful internally, after all, there are so many resources, and the families or companies within the consortium will also compete in some key interests, so after World War II, the decline of the Boston consortium can be said to be the fastest among the eight major consortiums.

If the people of the Boston Consortium did not provoke Yang Jing at the charity auction held by the Mellon family that day, maybe Yang Jing would not have attacked the Boston Consortium, but since he had already done so, he must completely beat the Boston Consortium with thunderous means or even shoot him to death!

Therefore, under the order of Yang Jing, KY Investment Fund established Atlantic Capital, and completed the wholly-owned acquisition of Hartford German Citizen Company and Arlington Trust in just four months.

Even though the board shareholders of Hartford German Corporation and Arlington Trust opposed the acquisition of Atlantic Capital, Atlantic Capital launched a hostile takeover of these two banks with the support of huge funds after negotiations with the shareholders of these two banks failed. Now that you've decided to cut off your beard, who the hell cares if you have a hostile takeover or not, let's get it first!

That's why the acquisition of these two banks cost a whopping $17 billion, and based on the market value of these two banks, if it were a real acquisition, it would not even be worth $13 billion.

What I fancy you, you have to sell it, and you have to sell it if you don't sell it!

Isn't it just money, we Atlantic Capital don't have anything else, it's just that the funds are sufficient!

The first thing Atlantic Capital acquired was the Hartford German Civil Company, because it was a hostile takeover, the Hartford German Civil Company, which was originally valued at less than $7 billion, actually spent a full 11 billion US dollars, a premium of nearly 100 percent.

But in the same way, the ferocity of Atlantic Capital also made the shareholders of Arlington Trust a little afraid, so when acquiring Arlington Trust, Atlantic Capital did not have much premium, and the original market value of Arlington Trust was more than 500 million US dollars, and Atlantic Capital only spent 6 billion US dollars on the acquisition.

"BOSS, now that these two banks have been acquired, what are we going to do next? Do we reorganize these two banks into a new, bigger bank or ......?"

Yang Jing shook his head with a smile and said: "Mike, you can discuss this kind of thing, I said, in the future, I will not ask too much about the entire Evil Dragon Fund's affairs except for some major investment actions." You're all professional managers, do you still need me to teach you how to do this kind of thing?"

Yang Jing consulted the Holy Ring, if he wants to form a consortium, it is not impossible, but don't affect history too much, otherwise the sword of Damocles will fall on Yang Jing's head at any time. Therefore, Yang Jing is not prepared to get involved in these things.

Hearing Yang Jing say this, Mike Aller said with an embarrassed face: "BOSS, I need you to give us a direction now." You don't have to ask, but at the very least you have to give us some direction. ”

Yang Jing looked at Mike Aller, and finally shook his head helplessly and said: "Continue to buy banks, and then reorganize into several medium-sized banks, don't rush to reorganize into a large bank for the time being." Also, pay more attention to Vale in Brazil, as well as some mining groups in Australia. ”

Vale, the world's largest iron ore company, is now not small, but it is mainly owned by the Brazilian government and Mitsui & Co. Yang Jing has no choice about the shares in the hands of the Brazilian government, but for the shares in the hands of Mitsui & Co., Yang Jing feels that he can take advantage of the imminent stock market crash to see if there is a way to get the shares of Vale in the hands of Mitsui & Co.

And then there's the mining companies in Australia. At present, Australia's mining companies are led by Rio Tinto, and BHP Billiton, which is even larger in the future, has not yet merged. The merger of Australian mining companies is mostly in the nineties and the beginning of the new century, so while the Australian mining companies have not yet begun to integrate, they can intervene in the Australian mineral industry in advance.

Because of the lack of high-grade iron ore in Huaxia, Huaxia was led by a group of iron ore suppliers led by Australia in later generations.

So Yang Jing is now ready to attack Australian mining companies and Vale!

Mike Ale wrote down what Yang Jing said in his notebook and didn't ask any more questions.

I've known this mysterious boss for nine years, so Mike Aller knows his style well. Especially in recent years, the boss has spoken less and less, which makes Mike Aller feel that the burden on his body is heavier.

However, the boss has already made Mike Aller happy with these three things today, at least he now knows which direction his focus should be in the next few years.

He didn't have to deal with the investment, but the acquisition of banks, Australian minerals, and Brazil's Vale were enough for Mike Ale to keep him busy for a few years.

Closing the notebook, Mike Aller said: "BOSS, the second thing is about next year's presidential election, and I have set up several consulting firms in the federal government according to your wishes, and I have used these consulting firms to get in touch with Mr. Bush. Mr. Bush is very grateful for our funding, so Mr. Bush would like to treat you to a meal.

Since the establishment of a consortium in the United States is to be established, it is inseparable from the support of American political circles, both now and in the future. Why did the Koch brothers become so good in later generations? Isn't it because the brothers relied on huge funds to train a large number of congressmen belonging to their brothers in Congress? Moreover, these brothers are on two boats, and both Republicans and Democrats can take it all, so these brothers can call for wind and rain in the American business and political circles.

At present, the two brothers have not begun to develop their power in the political circles, which is undoubtedly a good opportunity for Yang Jing.

In terms of capital, the current Koch brothers are far from being able to compare with the Evil Dragon Fund, and it is not a very difficult thing to develop their own power in American politics. To paraphrase a popular phrase on the Internet in later generations, in American politics, if there is something that cannot be solved by 100 million US dollars, then 200 million US dollars!

Isn't it just money? The Evil Dragon Fund lacks everything but money!

And now that Chaha is just in time for the US presidential election, how can Yang Jing, who is familiar with the future direction of the United States, not put the treasure on the Republican presidential candidate George H.W. Bush?

Sponsoring George H.W. Bush is only the first step for the Dragon Fund to get involved in American politics, so this step must be a hit in order to attract more congressmen to serve the Dragon Fund.

So Yang Jing thought for a while and said, "Look at the arrangement of this matter, I haven't had anything to do in the past few days." Even if you go to Texas, it's no problem!"
