Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

In the following two weeks, undercurrents in Philippine politics were surging.

Ferdinand convened all his confidants to discuss the matter of opening the general election in advance, and the opinions in support accounted for the majority, which also strengthened Ferdinand's confidence.

Most importantly, Ferdinand made a special trip to America to meet Ronald Reagan.

Although Ronald Reagan didn't give him a good face and questioned his series of behaviors in the Philippines that undermined the image of "democracy", it did not break up after all.

It doesn't matter if he is annoyed, Ferdinand is afraid that Ronald Reagan will give up his support completely.

So Ferdinand repeatedly assured Ronald Reagan what would happen after he was re-elected.

After that, Ferdinand decided to return to the Philippines.

The day after he returned, he announced the dissolution of the Philippine Congress and an early general election.

The official election time is set for January 12, 1986!

After the news was announced, he thought he had caught the opposition by surprise.

But they didn't know that a group of people in the Philippines were excited, and at the same time, this group of people became more and more in awe of Xia Yu.

What Ferdinand didn't know was that after he sent a visit application to the United States, Xia Yu went to Washington and played golf with Ronald Reagan for two hours as soon as he got the news.

in this half month.

The landscape of American business has changed a lot.

And the impact is bound to be far-reaching.

First of all, it is the Gulf Oil Company that has come to an end.

Gulf Oil completed the split, and Gulf Oil and Gas Trust acquired half of its oil and gas reserves.

In the Gulf Oil and Gas Trust, the parent company, Gulf Oil, only holds a token share of 1 share, which is almost infinitely close to zero.

For this company, Exxon Oil's holdings are as high as 774, completing the actual domination.

Whether or not to fully annex the Gulf Oil and Gas Trust is entirely within Exxon's mind.

The Pacific Oil Company, on the other hand, concentrated all its rights and interests in the Gulf Oil Company.

The holdings are as high as 682.

Considering that Gulf Oil still maintains its status as a listed company, its shareholding is relatively scattered.

Therefore, with the shareholding ratio of 682, no force can shake the dominance of Pacific Oil Company.

Now the international crude oil price has not fallen to the bottom, and the share price of Gulf Oil is still relatively high.

Therefore, Xia Yu does not intend to privatize the Gulf Oil Company for the time being, and will continue to wait.

The battle at the Morgan Trust Company in New York greatly reduced the prestige of the Rockefeller family.

In the articles of association of the New York Morgan Trust Company, it is stipulated that the chairman and vice-chairman shall be elected by the board of directors with more than half of all directors.

It is also unknown how much benefit John Chris Morgan has promised.

Anyway, after the re-election of the board of directors, the positions of former chairman David Rockefeller and vice chairman John Chris Morgan were reversed.

And after John Chris Morgan became chairman, he showed no mercy to David Rockefeller.

The first proposal submitted to the board of directors is to temporarily suspend the company from trading and change the company name. The changed company name is Morgan Bank Corporation, and the corresponding stock market code must also be changed.

The proposal was approved by more than half of the board of directors.

Regarding the board meeting of the Morgan Trust Company in New York, the outside world has been fascinated. Some said that David Rockefeller was furious on the spot, some said that David Rockefeller slammed the door and left, and some said that John Chris Morgan laughed wildly at the venue.

Anyway, no matter how it is spread outside.

The Rockefeller consortium lost control of America's fifth-largest bank.

This will have a major impact on the power system of the entire Rockefeller consortium.

The renamed Morgan Bank has board seats in many of the giant corporations.

These directors, all of whom were previously sent by David Rockefeller, were employees of the Rockefeller consortium.

Once John Chris Morgan replaces these people with his henchmen,

Then the follow-up struggle between the two major consortia will no longer be limited to Morgan Bank, and the war will spread everywhere.

At that time, it will be a head-to-head confrontation in multiple fields, and the dog's brain will come out.

Therefore, the leaders of many forces are convening think tanks to study this matter, to see how to avoid being affected, and whether there is a chance to benefit from it like those directors in Morgan Bank now.

All in all, the domestic storm has intensified.

However, these have little to do with Xia Yu for the time being.

Because of the short establishment time, the North Star Consortium has not penetrated the old consortium in the United States strongly, and it is still in the stage of accumulating heritage and strength.

With this in mind, it would be better to cut a few more knives at the Cleveland consortium.

However, at this time, the acquisition of equity of each target by the Polaris consortium has become difficult.

The equity that can be won is basically grabbed, and the rest are basically hard bones.

At this time, it is necessary to adjust the direction of the attack.

Ten birds in the forest are not as good as one bird in hand, it's time to showdown to the Cleveland consortium!

Therefore, after reporting to Xia Yu and receiving affirmative instructions.

Peter Lynch, president of Polaris Capital, came to Cleveland, Ohio, with Arman Simmons and other right-hand men.

After arriving in Cleveland, Peter Lynch met with the Mellon family team.

The Mellon family's team is led by James Mellon, the former chairman of Gulf Oil.

"Mr. Lynch, it's an honor to meet you, I'm James Mellon."

"Mr. Mellon, it's also my honor to meet you."

"Hello, Mr. Simmons."

""

Both sides are allies, and this time they came together to put pressure on the Cleveland consortium. After the meeting, they were naturally full of smiles.

"Mr. Mellon, let's go, it looks like those people are waiting."

Glancing at Douglas Mather and others who had come out of the door, Peter Lynch said with a smile to James Mellon.

"Alright, let's go together."

After all, a group of people walked in the direction of Douglas Mather and others.

Meeting with several major families of the Cleveland consortium, the atmosphere is not good, and it can even be said to be very cold.

After just shaking hands bluntly and asking a few words, they entered the negotiating conference room.

The Polaris Capital consortium and the Mellon consortium sat on one side, and the Cleveland consortium sat on the opposite side.

Both sides are enemies, and sitting together is only for profit.

Therefore, after taking a seat, I didn't bother to overdo it, and went straight to the topic.

"Mr Mather, Mr Hanna, Mr Humphrey and Mr Eaton."

"Before coming today, we and the Mellon family have reached an agreement."

"Whether it is war or peace, we don't care, it depends on how you choose."

"You provoked the war. If we continue to fight it, we will not have any losses."

"Today, the three parties can sit down and talk. The biggest beneficiary is your Cleveland consortium. We hope that you can show sincerity. Otherwise, if we continue, we don't know what it will look like."

After Peter Lynch finished speaking, James Mellon echoed: "Mr. Lynch's attitude is also our attitude."

"Actually, within the Mellon family, we agreed to negotiate with you just over halfway through. With tens of billions of dollars in funds, we have full confidence."

This sentence is full of threats.

I could hear Douglas Mather and Reginald Hanna and others throbbing, but they didn't dare to attack.

The situation of the Mellon family and the Mellon consortium is actually clear to the entire top level of the United States.

As the strength of the Mellon consortium has shrunk and the control of the financial core has been completed, the capital flow of the Mellon consortium has absolutely skyrocketed.

Tens of billions of dollars may be exaggerated, but Douglas Mather and others have no doubt that the cash flow of the Mellon consortium will be less than $15 billion.

This amount alone is enough to toss the Cleveland consortium.

However, negotiating, it is very dangerous to lose momentum completely.

So Douglas Mather said without changing his face:

"Mr. Lynch, Mr. Mellon, you don't have to scare us deliberately."

"The Mellon consortium can survive by docking its tail, and we can do the same."

"We haven't come this far, it doesn't mean we don't have the courage to do it!"

"Of course we also hope to sit down and settle our grievances through negotiation, but if it exceeds our bottom line, then we would rather fall to Rockefeller's wealth completely, even if we become a vassal completely, it doesn't matter!"

Peter Lynch sneered: "If you choose this way, then we don't really care. We can also sell everything in our hands to the Morgan consortium in exchange for other benefits."

"I think John Chris Morgan would definitely be willing to take over."

"It's just that at that time, I don't know if the Cleveland consortium will be the same as the previous Chicago consortium."

Reginald Hanna, who had a temper, flushed with irritation.

But Peter Lynch didn't give him the chance to have a seizure.

He said directly: "Okay, don't say so many meaningless words."

"These are the things we need."

"And these are the things you want."

"Meet our requirements, we will no longer trouble the Cleveland consortium, and you can go and clean up the others."

"This is the list of our Mellon consortium." James Mellon also threw out the list.

The lists of the two parties came to Douglas Mather and others, and after a brief glance, the faces of each party became very ugly.

They did not expect that the enemy would have acquired so many equity stakes in core companies.

In particular, the Polaris consortium, which acted first, has too many chips in its hands.

For example, the equity of Cleveland Trust Company 121, the equity of Cleveland National City Bank 112, the equity of American Financial Group Co., Ltd. 223, the equity of Kekai International Group Group 194, the equity of Fifth Third Bank Company 176, and so on.

Five core financial companies have been acquired by the other party so much equity.

I don't know how much the Polaris consortium paid to be able to grab so much equity in front of them!

If these shares are held by the Polaris consortium, they are completely stuck in their throats, and they have to be on guard at any time!
