Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

Leonard Mellon found Xia Yu in the hospital, when Xia Yu was accompanying Xian Di to the hospital to visit the still unconscious old Mellon.

"Leonard, what's wrong?"

"What difficulties did you encounter again?"

Seeing the irritable expression on Leonard Mellon's face, Xia Yu took the initiative to follow Leonard Mellon to the chair in the aisle and asked the reason.

Leonard Mellon told the situation truthfully: "After executing that strategy, it's a lot better."

"Especially after the Cleveland consortium retreated, many forces also retreated."

"But there is still one biggest obstacle, and that is the Rockefeller consortium."

"David Rockefeller never gave up his infiltration of us, causing us a lot of trouble and stress."

Xia Yu's expression also became a lot more serious. After all, David Rockefeller can be said to be the top figure in the United States.

"What is the situation, don't worry, there will always be a way."

Xia Yu said slowly, his calm and calm tone also affected Leonard Mellon.

Leonard Mellon took a deep breath and continued: "In fact, it's mainly four companies that have gone wrong."

"The Bank of New York, the National Bank of Pittsburgh, the Martin Marietta Company and the Westinghouse Electric Company."

Hearing this, Xia Yu couldn't help frowning.

Good guy, David Rockefeller can be ruthless, these four companies are the key points of the Mellon consortium!

"At present, Chase Manhattan Bank is going all out to buy the equity of New York Ying, and New York Morgan Trust Company is going all out to buy the equity of Pittsburgh National Bank."

"Lockheed has made a takeover offer to Martin Marietta and wants to acquire Martin Marietta for cash + equity."

"On the Westinghouse side, the Rockefeller family wants to take the opportunity to increase their stake and try to take full control of the board of directors."

"Martin Marietta has always been controlled by our family, with a cumulative shareholding ratio of 42.3%, while Lockheed is a company controlled by the Rockefeller consortium, and now the other party has issued news of mergers and acquisitions, which is attractive to other shareholders. It must be huge."

"The Rockefeller consortium itself holds a cumulative 33.8% stake in Martin Marietta."

"Once the merger is cash and stock, we will be marginalized, the combined company will fully implement the will of the Rockefeller consortium, and our shareholding will be meaningless."

"..."

With Leonard Mellon's narration, Xia Yu also realized the seriousness of the situation.

Let's start with Chase Manhattan Bank and New York Morgan Trust Company, both of which are commercial banks.

In terms of total assets and deposits, Chase Manhattan Bank ranks fourth in the United States, and New York Morgan Trust Company ranks fifth!

Although the Morgan Trust Company in New York has the word Morgan, in fact, since the 1960s, this bank has been under the control of the Rockefeller family, and David Rockefeller has served as chairman for many years!

The top five largest banks in the United States,

In addition to Bank of America, First Citibank and Wells Fargo Bank, the Rockefeller Consortium controls two, which shows the power of the Rockefeller Consortium in the financial sector.

Now these two banks are targeting a bank in the Mellon consortium, and it is normal for the Mellon family to cause huge trouble.

The current situation between Martin Marietta and Westinghouse is essentially the same.

After all, other shareholders saw that the Mellon family was out of power, and it was much worse than the Rockefeller family when it was in its prime.

Just like this, it caused huge trouble to the Mellon family.

Once the Rockefeller consortium nailed the Bank of New York and the National Bank of Pittsburgh, the Mellons would be put under enormous pressure.

The contraction strategy set before will not be completely completed.

If the defensive barriers are not completely formed, the future development of the Mellon family and the Mellon consortium will be greatly restricted.

For Leonard Mellon, he cannot completely establish his prestige this time, which will have a huge negative impact on his plan to become the head of the Mellon family.

So he couldn't help but be nervous.

"Xia Yu, what do you think I should do?"

Facing Leonard Mellon's burning gaze, Xia Yu lowered his head and thought, his brain was running fast.

Suddenly, he asked Leonard Mellon: "Leonard, among the Bank of New York and the National Bank of Pittsburgh, besides you and the Rockefeller consortium, which side has the most influence?"

Leonard Mellon blurted out: "Of course the Morgan consortium!"

"I can't buy the equity held by the Morgan consortium, and neither can the Rockefeller consortium."

"If I can get the equity of the Morgan consortium, then the Rockefeller consortium can directly fail."

Xia Yu understood, the corners of his mouth twitched.

He asked a second question: "So for the acquisition of Martin Marietta and Westinghouse, the Rockefeller consortium also used funds from Chase Manhattan Bank and New York Morgan Trust Company?"

Leonard Mellon nodded and replied: "Yes, I have investigated, it is the truth."

"The third question!"

"Do you have any equity in Chase Manhattan Bank and New York Morgan Trust Company?"

This question is the most critical. Xia Yu guessed that there should be. After all, it is normal for consortia to penetrate each other. With the wisdom of Richard King Mellon, it is not unexpected.

really!

I saw Leonard Mellon thought about it for a long time, then nodded again and said, "Yes."

"A total of 4.12% of Chase Manhattan Bank and 8.72% of New York Morgan Trust."

"I remember my father telling me that in 1959, when jp Morgan was pushed to merge with the New York Guarantee Trust Company, my father took the opportunity to get a part of the equity, and then he got a piece of equity."

"It's just that it holds 3.5% of the equity on the bright side, and also won a director seat, and the rest of the equity is scattered and hidden."

"Then there is no problem, there is a way!"

Xia Yu said with a light smile.

Leonard Mellon was very surprised: "Is there really a way?"

But he wasn't stupid. He was so surprised by Xia Yu that he said, "Xia Yu, do you mean to use these shares to exchange shares with the Morgan family?"

Xia Yu shook his head slightly and said slowly, "Not only the stock exchange, but also the trouble for the Rockefeller family!"

"At present, only the Morgan family can check and balance the Rockefeller family."

"Let John Chris Morgan fight David Rockefeller, and the Rockefeller consortium will naturally not put most of its energy on you."

"Others will not immediately fall to Rockefeller's side when they see that the situation is not good."

"Of course, more importantly, the Morgan family can be asked to help to check and balance the Rockefeller family. I think John Chris Morgan will definitely be happy to do this."

"He will never want to see the Rockefeller consortium control your Mellon consortium!"

"Even if it's just the slightest possibility, he won't want to see it!"

"By the way, I have a 3.12% stake in New York Morgan Trust Company, which can be transferred to you together."

"In addition to the 8.72% stake you hold, the total is 11.84%."

"The original intention of Morgan Stanley is that one day when the Glass-Steagall Act is revoked, Morgan Stanley can return to the embrace of JP Morgan and restore the glory of Morgan Bank."

"Although the Glass-Steagall Act has not been revoked, the old Morgan has always wanted to retake the New York Morgan Trust Company when he was alive. As long as John Chris Morgan can get our equity, he will more than the Rockefeller family in equity."

"Even if they don't get back control of New York's Morgan Trust Company right away, it's the best they can hope for!"

"This is the point of John Chris Morgan!"

Xia Yu's remarks made Leonard Mellon completely clear the clouds.

The sadness on his face disappeared, and there was even a light smile on his face.

"So, I'm going to see John Chris Morgan?"

Xia Yu nodded slightly: "That's right!"

"With these chips, you can definitely convince him, but if you want to maximize the benefits, you need to see your performance!"

"If you want to become the head of the Mellon family, you must talk this time, and there must be enough results. The more results, the greater the help to you!"

Hearing this, Leonard Mellon was embarrassed and very confused.

John Chris Morgan is twice his age, and is a well-known financial genius. He is also the head of the Morgan family and the master of the Morgan consortium!

His father, Mellon Sr., had met with John Chris Morgan many times before, and he was also accompanied by him. He had personally experienced the power of John Chris Morgan.

Let him talk to John Chris Morgan...

To be honest, he wanted results, and he wanted positive impact.

But...he has no confidence!

The more he thought about it, the more irritable Leonard Mellon became, and he couldn't help sighing,

Just when he was distressed, he saw Xia Yu with a calm and calm face, and he suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

That's right, although the brother-in-law in front of him is younger than him, he is a character his father himself admitted is not inferior to him.

Then it can be inferred that Xia Yu should not be much worse than John Chris Morgan.

So……

"Xia Yu, why don't you bring... er... with me?"
