Chapter 502: America's Only Savior for the Future

Abel is very interested in many large companies in Europe.

The centuries-old European heritage is actually not much worse than that of the United States.

If only they could unite and form an EU in the true sense of the word, rather than being scattered in reality.

Then they can completely compete with the United States today and the future China as the third pole of the world.

It is a pity that this possibility was fundamentally rejected in the "Marshall Plan" proposed by the United States after World War II.

The Marshall Plan looked good, saving old post-war Europe from ruins.

However, the Marshall Plan of the Americans, it had too many positive conditions.

When Europeans accept this plan, they have to accept the possibility of American influence and begin to intensify in Europe.

Over the decades, the infiltration of Americans in Europe has become ubiquitous.

Even if the European Union is formed, the euro is officially issued.

In fact, a united EU is no longer possible.

The European Union that has emerged now is the last legacy left to the old Europe by the older generation of European rulers.

These legacies will be in parallel time and space for the next ten years. Under the infiltration of the Americans, under the of the British, under the indisputability of the Europeans themselves.

Eventually, it came to naught.

The Europeans have pushed the Maozi who can complete the European territory in terms of force and energy far away, and have become enemies.

Among so many enterprises in old Europe, Abel attaches the most importance to the three giants of Germany, France and the United Kingdom.

In the British enterprises, Abel attaches the most importance to the British bank HSBC, whose main business is not in the UK!

This bank has 1/2 of the right to issue notes on Hong Kong Island! More than 85% of its annual profits come from the Oriental Pearl.

Being able to indirectly control HSBC is to indirectly control the right to issue notes on Hong Kong Island, as well as the financial rights.

This is a very important thing in the eyes of Abel, who knows that Huaxia will rise in the future.

To acquire HSBC, it is even more difficult to become a shareholder of it.

The idea came to him when he had recently visited Hong Kong Island when Grace Flint, the new chairman of HSBC, had made a special trip from London to meet him on Hong Kong Island.

Video conferencing is ongoing.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The overall performance of the FTSE 100 sectors over the past decade and the current analysis of the data, the future gains from highest to lowest are Healthcare, Consumer Staples, Consumer Discretionary, IT, Industrials, Utilities, Materials, Telecoms, ......"

"There is not much upward trend in energy and finance in the future."

"From the main line, there are basically two main lines: the recovery of innovative industries and the old economy. This innovation includes category innovation such as pharmaceutical companies, model innovation such as hotel chains and new media, and Internet innovation. ”

"The biggest opportunity for the recovery of the old economy in the UK comes from the recovery of the property sector. As everyone knows, London is becoming the most popular city for the richest in the world. Its low taxes and sound laws, as well as its well-established social system, can easily attract the richest people in the world. ”

"For this reason, we conclude that high-end real estate in the UK is bound to become more and more popular. That's what sets us up for the next opportunities. ”

After revealing his next plan to his subordinates, Abel didn't explain too much.

Instead, let Jace and David continue to report to him in more detail and specifics.

In order to complete this "landing plan in Britain", a strong stake in the invasion of various industries in the United Kingdom.

Abel naturally won't blindly buy and spend money like an idiot.

In addition to the media industry he has already touched, there are many other companies in the UK that are worth investing in.

What Abel needs is to pick out the most valuable ones among these companies.

So, his think tank and big data analytics team, now is the time to make a big difference.

Isn't it for the current situation to spend so much money to support this group of people!

After a report, Abel asked very clearly, "What about individual stocks?" ”

It was mainly Jace, the head of the British side, who was responsible for answering.

"In terms of medicine, our target is mainly GlaxoSmithKline. In terms of essential consumer goods, there are two targets, one is United Brewing Group and the other is Unilever. In the case of discretionary consumer goods, there are also two targets. Dyson and Burberry. ”

"But the most valuable thing is the HSBC Group, which you are optimistic about. and BP, which has a lot of contenders. ”

Abel listened to these familiar business names and nodded incessantly. To be honest, if he had to decide for himself, he would have bought these companies.

The reason is very simple, the names of these companies, until he was reborn, he was very familiar in Huaxia.

This situation proves that these companies still have a lot of influence in the world before he is reborn, and these influences are so great that even an ordinary Chinese youth can know their names.

Now that they can have a global reach, it proves that they have been operating without problems.

"Add a Land Rover car company. Rolls-Royce Motor Cars is almost there, and I need a dedicated off-road brand in my car group's product lineup, and the Land Rover for the Royal Crown is very good. ”

Abel opened his mouth and suggested.

Hearing the boss's request, the business elites on both ends of the video conference quickly communicated for a while.

Finally, David Mellon, on his side, responded to Abel's request.

"Boss, Land Rover is no longer British. It's now our American company, two years ago when Ford Motor Company bought Land Rover and Jaguar, and Ford paid $3.9 billion to the BMW Group for all of Land Rover's all-wheel-drive lineups, including the Rangerover, Discovery, Freelander and Defender. ”

"So if we want a Land Rover, we don't have to buy it from the British, we need to ask Ford Motor Company for a price."

"Unfortunately or fortunately, after Land Rover and Jaguar were acquired by Ford Motor Company, their brands were not taken seriously. What Ford needs more is their technology and patents, and Ford has a better choice in terms of brands. Americans prefer practical F-series pickups. In terms of luxury, there is the Cadillac Escalade. In terms of cheapness, there are Neon Man's Red Shirts, Cruiser, and Tuda. ”

"These factors make Land Rover Jaguar difficult to sell in the United States."

"I'm sure Ford would be happy to sell Land Rover and Jaguar if we sent out an inquiry. That is, the price may go to two extremes. ”

"Just buy brands, the price will be very cheap, about $1 billion to $1.2 billion, and you can buy them from Ford. But if you want to have the right technology, it's going to be very difficult. ”

David's long report, Abel understood.

To put it simply, Land Rover and Jaguar are now Ford's.

Ford bought them at that time, mainly because of the technology patents of Land Rover and Jaguar for many years, and the brand was secondary.

Now if Abel wants to buy them, it will be easy to buy only the brand.

It would be difficult or even impossible to buy the brand and the corresponding patented technology that has become all of Ford's patents.

"Technology can be researched, and it's really hard to get your hands on. Send a quote to Ford, and we'll just need those two brands. Although Americans don't like them, there are places where there must be a huge market. ”

Abel ordered with certainty.

He knew that although in parallel time and space, Land Rover did not sell well in the world.

But in the UK and another country, it's the number one choice for luxury off-road brands.

The key is the Land Rover at that time, in addition to the brand, the technology was actually bought, or Ah San himself researched.

How good can the technology he bought, or the technology that Ah San researched himself, be?

In terms of technology, the third brother said "first", then it is really the first.

The first is rotten, and that is also the first.

Because of the poor technology, this luxury brand is prone to breakdowns and is not very good in all aspects.

The problem is that even if this is the case, it will be able to reach the scale of 40-500,000 units per year.

You know, this is a luxury car brand, and the annual sales volume is already very good.

If only it could be more technically better, it wouldn't be so prone to failure. Its sales are estimated to increase by another 20%, or even higher.

With such a brand, Abel feels that it is very suitable to become an integral part of the product series of his own automobile group.

According to his vision, in the future, it belongs to his automobile group.

Rolls-Royce will always be at the top, an ultra-luxury brand.

Bentley is a younger, more suitable ultra-luxury brand for young and wealthy people.

Under Rolls-Royce and Bentley, Land Rover specializes in luxury off-roading.

Jaguar will take the route of first-line luxury brands to compete with BBA.

Tesla, which is behind, takes the route of the mid-range Volkswagen brand.

When the time comes, it's time for the train. Tesla's electrification technology can be fed back to the upper luxury brand.

The chassis and interior heritage of the upper luxury brand can also be delegated to Tesla below after the replacement.

Abel hopes that such a combination can form a virtuous circle of positive feedback.

As for the lack of technology now, the engine is not bad in terms of Rolls-Royce, and the British have a foundation in the automobile industry.

Coupled with the large amount of R&D expenditure, with the United States, which has strong automobile technology, as the basic disk, it is easy to catch up in this regard.

In other aspects, Abel does not dare to guarantee that at least Land Rover Jaguar's technology will be stronger than the one acquired by the third brother in parallel time and space.

After the video conference, Abel sat in the boss's chair, thinking about the feasibility of the auto group.

For the automobile group, Abel has always attached great importance to it.

Even in the United States, there are already Ford and GM, which are not weak.

This is because of the automotive industry, which belongs to the high-end industry, is one of the jewels in the crown of industry. It can provide a large number of jobs, and it is still a relatively high-quality one.

According to Abel's idea, this kind of industry is a high-quality industry that can expand its influence.

At that time, if his automobile group can be successful, the area where the production base of the automobile group is located will inevitably be covered and infiltrated by him over time.

Imagine when tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of high-quality jobs in a region are all provided by his automobile group.

There are also a lot of taxes.

Can he not let him decide the votes and finances of this region?

This is something that finance, the Internet, and high-tech companies like Apple simply can't do.

Even if the market value of these companies on the stock is more than ten times.

This is also the reason why Abel has always paid little attention to the Internet and high-tech companies.

Including finance, these companies can make money, and they can make a lot of money.

However, it is difficult for them to affect the middle and low levels, so it is difficult to lay the foundation for the stability of a large consortium.

So that's why these companies are so high in the top 500 in the world.

But their controllers, basically in their respective countries, are at most louder. In fact, none of them are indispensable big names in their region.

Like an old horse, Ahri is strong enough, and his social influence is big enough, right? Say it's just masturbation.,There's no to masturbate.。

Because no matter how big Ahri is, it's just a service company.

Another example, Pengcheng in China.

When it comes to Pengcheng, the most famous company has always been Penguin.

However, in Pengcheng, since 2010, there are actually only one and a half that have really had a big influence and can make the authorities change their policies.

Half of it is a chrysanthemum when it hasn't left Pengcheng. Chrysanthemum is very special, it is a high-tech enterprise, but its impact on the industry is very strong, and the industrial chain formed around it is indispensable.

The remaining one, has always been BYD.

When BYD was first listed, the market value was even only 1/5 of the penguin. The influence on the local area has always been strong by BYD.

Who told people to do BYD is all engaged in industry, with a very complete industrial chain, affecting hundreds of thousands to hundreds of thousands of local jobs.

Penguins with higher market value and higher revenue have only tens of thousands of employees, and the industrial chain is almost nil.

In addition to raising taxes, it also serves as a business card for the city.

The benign impact on the local area, the penguin is not even 1/10 of the BYD.

For a country or region, no matter how strong the service industry is, it can only be a footshrubber in the industry.

Once this law is violated, then the country and region are not far from decline.

The United States of the future is violating this law......

Abel knew that it would be difficult for him to bring the big ship of the United States back to the correct course he had envisioned.

It can't be done, and it's not necessary.

Since the service industry is more profitable, it is certainly impossible for it to invest money in industry.

In that case, Abel decided to do it himself!

He wants to create an industrial empire of his own in the United States.

The more pragmatic Texas is a good basic plate.

Of course, this does not mean that Abel is going to give up the service industry and give up finance.

On the contrary, he wants to use finance to scrape more money, use this money to develop himself, and burn out an industrial empire of his own.

At that time, when the capitalists of the United States were faced with strong competition from all sides, from new competitors.

When they need a strong industry to ensure that they will not lose in the competition.

These people will be shocked to discover that there is a surplus of elite industrial power in the United States.

There is only the group under Abel, or all in Abel's hands.

At that time, it was Abel who officially "ascended the throne".

When he became the uncrowned emperor of the United States.

This is a big plan, a plan that Abel has begun since the industrial power of the United States still exists.

Now everything has not yet appeared, and the prototype of Abel's industrial empire is naturally only in the process of foreshadowing.

Industries that can provide a large number of high-quality or ordinary jobs, while also ensuring technological advantages, are all steps in the Aberta plan.

Tesla, auto groups, agriculture, supermarket groups, energy groups, and the military that has been able to influence. Fire Group ......

It's all in the big plan he envisions.

"Hoo ......"

With a long exhale, Abel smiled on his face.

"In the future, labor and management will be the only savior of the United States!"

"Whew-"

As soon as I finished loading 13, there was a knock on the door.

"Boss, what do you want for dinner?"

After Amanda pushed the door in, she asked softly, interrupting Abel's 13, "Is it already night...... Oh, I'm going to have dinner near NYU, and I promised little Laura last night. ”

He came to work at the Smith Building at noon, after Kayla had finished her safe menstrual period.

In the middle, I handled some official business, and then held a video conference for so long.

Before I knew it, time passed quickly, and it was getting dark outside.

With that, Abel stood up, and Amanda walked up quickly, took off the suit from the clothes rack, and helped Abel put it on.

"Well, do you want to come along?"

After Abel walked out of the office, he looked at Amanda who was standing at the elevator door and did not follow him, and asked subconsciously.

Amanda complained in her heart, and a smile appeared on her face, "Boss, you're going to have dinner with your fiancΓ©e." I don't think my identity is very suitable. ”

"Hmm." Abel also realized this, and he was just thinking about his future plans, so he casually invited Amanda.

Now reminded by Amanda, he hummed softly and watched the elevator door slowly close.

"Whew-"

Amanda exhaled a cloudy breath and pursed her lips, "I don't want to look at that little bush cousin's face!" ”

At this time, her beautiful mobile phone rang.

Amanda took it out and looked at it, revealing that it was her cousin Lydia calling.

"It's also a small cousin."

After all of them muttered, Amanda still answered her cousin's call.

"Amanda, is the chairman gone? Or are you going to have dinner with him tonight? I'm going back, and the driver at home came to pick me up. ”

"Nope." Amanda responded, "He's gone to accompany his fiancΓ©e." Wait for me, Lydia. I'm going back in our own car today. ”

It was Lydia's turn to be silent.

In the past, every time Amanda got off work, the car she took was the Cadillac that Abel gave her.

The driver and bodyguard are of course also Abel's.

Now that she suddenly didn't sit in Abel's car, Lydia guessed that Amanda was sulking.

As for the reason for sulking, that's too easy to guess.

"Okay. Then we will be waiting for you at the door. Lydia said.

"Hmm."

Abel who drove away from the Smith Building.

Surrounded by a river of cars all over Manhattan, we drove towards Washington Plaza, where the New York University campus is located.

NYU has a great location in "the most breathtaking city in the world," and it has three campuses, two of which are in Manhattan.

Washington Plaza in Lower Manhattan is the main campus, and most of the colleges are on the main campus.

The second is Midtown Manhattan's campus, located at Bryant Park on 42nd Street, where SPS College programs are located.

SPS College is the abbreviation of "School of Professional Studies", which is actually a "School of Continuing Education", similar to the top correspondence schools in China in the future......

Students in this college generally have a work background, or have other reasons to interrupt their studies and come back to study, so it's actually a bit watery.

The last campus is in downtown Brooklyn, where Anne Hathaway's college major in humanities and philosophy is located.

Little Laura and Li Xinyu are studying international finance.

This is one of the strong majors at New York University, after all, with Manhattan as its back, it doesn't take much to go to Wall Street, and it's no wonder that the finance major is not strong.

By the time Abel's motorcade arrived near Washington Plaza, it was almost 7 p.m.

At a Japanese restaurant called "Hi-Collar", Abel meets Little Laura and Li Xinyu.

and their new girlfriends and classmates.

A beautiful neon girl.
