Chapter 1347 Three Major Consortia in Australia
"Rebirth of the Most Powerful Tycoon ()"!
"Chairman, this is the specific investigation situation and the situation of the relevant company."
After the accident occurred, it took less than a day to investigate the situation and Huo Jianning reported the results to Xia Yu.
"Okay, I'll take a look first, go get busy, I'll call you if I have something."
After sending Huo Jianning away, Xia Yu picked up the investigation and browsed it.
Halfway through, it was an Australian company called Toll.
Contributed 1.95 billion Hong Kong dollars to take over all the equity of Wheelock Shipping Company held by the Madden family, accounting for 21.1% of the total share capital.
Toll is an old Australian logistics company founded in 1888. It started with a pony and has worked hard for nearly a hundred years.
It is currently Australia's largest integrated logistics provider, with operations including land fleet, warehousing, sea, air logistics, port operations and rail rolling stock operations.
Of course, Toll is not the strongest in Australia when it comes to international shipping.
But it is the largest private company in the field, second only to the state-run Australian National Shipping Company.
In this acquisition of Wheelock Shipping Company, Toll Company did not act alone. Except for the local Hong Kong Rothschild & Sons Company as the acquisition consultant, there are several major banks behind them to provide financial support, and all of them are foreign banks.
They are Australia's Westpac Bank, British Barclays Bank and British National Westminster Bank, of which Westpac Bank is the biggest supporter.
And this also involves the background of Toll Company, which involves a consortium level higher than that of a single company.
Toll is the core company of the Sydney consortium, one of the three major consortia in Australia, and is a pillar in the field of logistics and transportation!
...
After reading the investigation, Xia Yu couldn't help sneering.
The Australian consortium was just expanding to the outside world, but it stole his prey and had a good appetite, so they directly attacked the company Wheelock Shipping.
The acquisition of Wheelock Shipping is the acquisition of the entire Wheelock consortium.
Xia Yu felt something was wrong, and after thinking for a long time, he recruited Huo Jianning again.
"Jianning, I have read the investigation report, and asked Bright Fund to suspend contact with major shareholders, first raise some of the stock from the stock market, and raise the stock price a bit higher."
"In addition, immediately find out for me the situation of the Sydney consortium in Australia, especially those related to them in the area of Xiangjiang, find out for me, and give me the first time."
"Yes, I'll arrange it right away!"
Huo Jianning responded respectfully.
"Go, as soon as possible."
After Xia Yu finished speaking, he waved Huo Jianning down.
After Toll stepped in, plans to buy Wheelock Shipping were disrupted.
Toll has won the second largest shareholder and the stake of the Madden family, the family in charge. Under the circumstances, it is the most foolish way to compete rashly.
It's time to muddy the waters and create trouble for Toll and hinder their acquisitions.
After he thinks clearly, with his strength and resources, there is always a way to deal with it.
...
I don't know if I don't check it, but I found the problem when I checked it.
Three days later, details about the Sydney consortium were investigated.
The Sydney consortium is one of the three major consortia in Australia, with four core families, namely the Fairfax family, the Knox family, the Jonathan family and the Johnston family.
The financial core of the Sydney consortium is Westpac Bank and Australia Insurance Company, which are currently Australia's second largest bank and third largest insurance company.
There are many companies under the Sydney consortium, and there are large companies in the mining, machinery, building materials, paper, chemical, food, sugar, retail and other industries.
For example, the Queensland Sugar Company, which monopolizes 75% of Australia's market share and is also the largest exporter, and the New Zealand Sugar Company.
Australia's top three Australian Northern Mining companies.
In the mining field, there are also Australian Joan Lessart Company, Australian Tobemark Company, Buchanan Bollehall Coal Mining Company, Monte Gunson Mining Company, Gove Bauxite Company, Pibara Iron Ore Company, etc. .
In the industrial and machine building sector there are also Clyde Industries, Goodwin Materials, and Commonwealth Machinery.
Carter Holt Company, one of the four giants in the paper and packaging field.
Fairfax Group, one of the four major newspaper groups.
Large real estate and retail company - Westfield Group.
The Lion King Brewing Company is the second largest of the three brewing companies.
In addition to this, there are Australian Quarry Company, Australian Chemical Company and so on.
Many of these companies in the Sydney consortium have already entered Hong Kong.
For example, the Fairfax Group has successively acquired two tabloid newspapers in Heungkong, renamed "Heungkong News" and "East Asia News", which have been published for more than a year, and also adopted a free early-stage strategy to grow rapidly. At present, the daily circulation of the two newspapers is 25,000 and 37,000 respectively, which can be regarded as a successful foothold.
Fairfax Group has also invested in Xiangjiang TVB, currently holding 15.8% of the shares, the second largest shareholder after Shao Laoliu.
Fairfax Group competes with Jiuding Newspaper Company and Global Satellite TV, although it is currently at an absolute disadvantage.
Queensland Sugar Company, on the other hand, acquired Heung Kong Yinghua Trading Company, one of the main traders of Heung Kong Sugar Trading.
Queensland Sugar is also a competitor of Swire Sugar, a subsidiary of Xia Yu's Jiuding Industrial Group's Swire Agriculture Group.
The Australian Insurance Company also entered the Hong Kong market in February 1983 and set up a branch to carry out insurance business in Hong Kong, Macau, Thailand, Indonesia and other Southeast Asian countries, and competed with Jiuding Insurance Group.
There is also Westfield Group, which entered Hong Kong in April 1983 and is currently developing a shopping mall.
Needless to say, Australia's Westpac Bank has long established a branch in Hong Kong.
Before the acquisition of Wheelock Shipping Company, the Sydney consortium had entered Hong Kong in six areas, basically competing with Xia Yu's Jiuding consortium.
Although they are all at an absolute disadvantage and cannot shake the status of the Jiuding Consortium in various industries, competition is competition!
The rapid development of Heung Kong has had a siphon effect on the Southeast Asian economy, so it has a huge influence on foreign capital consortia such as the Sydney consortium.
Xia Yu had already prepared for this.
The big consortiums in Europe and the United States, and the big consortiums in the island countries, have entered more and earlier fields than the Sydney consortiums.
For example, in the insurance industry, Jiuding Insurance Company occupies a leading position in the market. The remaining nine of the top ten in the market are AIA, Prudential, MetLife, Manulife, National Life Insurance, AXA Life Insurance, Yasuda Life Insurance, Allianz Insurance and Legal Insurance.
Two British insurance companies, two American insurance companies, one French insurance company, one German insurance company, one Dutch insurance company, one Canadian insurance company, and one island country insurance company.
Of course, because Canada's Manulife was acquired by Bright Fund, this insurance company is actually a British-based insurance company, and it is also Xia Yu's.
Think of Jardine Insurance Company, the predecessor of Jiuding Insurance Company. At that time, none of the top ten insurance companies in Hong Kong was local.
Having said that, it is impossible for each market to compete without competition.
As a leader in various markets, you have to accept the competition of latecomers, which is nothing to say.
Xia Yu had no way to deliberately clean up the forces of each party, and there was no need for it.
Hong Kong's economic take-off also needs the help of a steady stream of foreign investment, and it is impossible to close the country.
But the Sydney consortium should never have to take food in front of Xia Yu, this is a raffle!
What's more, according to the investigation, the Sydney consortium is also closely related to the Rothschild family.
The Sydney consortium was able to quickly gain a firm foothold in Hong Kong, and Hong Kong Rothschild & Sons contributed a lot. This time the Madden family handed over all the shares so readily, and it was also with the assistance of Hong Kong Rothier & Sons.
In Australia, the Sydney consortium is also an ally of the Rothschild family.
"It seems that the Rohir family and I are really old enemies."
"I've thought about taking a good rest in Xiangjiang, and this is sent to me again. If I don't cut a knife, wouldn't it be too shameless, hehe..."
After Xia Yu shook his head with a smile, he took out a pen and paper and fell into thought.
Just doing a fuss on Wheelock Shipping Company seems to be too small for him.
It's not his style to just defend and not attack when others have entered his hard-built lair...
PS: First update today, I am still collecting and collating information. The information about this bastard in Australia is more difficult to collect than Canada. Except for being a dog for the United Kingdom and the United States, the presence of other aspects is too low
