Eight Hundred and Seventy-Eighth Chapter Means to Counter the Roshir Family
"Boss, this is the situation. There is an unknown company that is also acquiring the equity of Philip Brothers. It is now certain that the other party has acquired at least 15% of the equity."
Toby Moulton reported to Xia Yuhui with a solemn expression.
When the case first appeared, Toby Moulton was only on alert, but the series of bad news that followed made him uncomfortable.
According to the acquisition team's statistics on the number of target shares, the opponent has acquired more than 15% of the shares. If he considers that some targets have not yet been implemented, he cannot be sure how much the opponent has acquired.
He can only make emergency dispatch, and let the company's acquisition team immediately change the target and acquire some more equity before the opponent.
Then he called the boss Xia Yu, and that's what happened now.
Xia Yu frowned slightly, thinking about where the problem might be and who the unknown enemy is!
It's just that under the limited information, the unknown is too great, and it is difficult for him to determine the target.
Wei Wei shook his head and returned to his senses. He wanted Toby Moulton to ask: "Toby, how much equity has the company acquired now?"
Toby Moulton quickly reported: "Our shareholding ratio has now reached 61%. At the beginning we acquired 27.4%, and then took the Philip family. 27.8% of the total, and yesterday simultaneously won a total of 5.8% of the shares held by two small shareholders."
"Sixty-one percent..."
Xia Yu frowned, chewing the number in his mouth.
Although it is still far from the goal of a wholly-owned acquisition, it is only 5.7% away from the two-thirds line, which is not a big gap.
Things have already happened, you can only lower your psychological expectations and prepare yourself.
However, considering the futures contracts that the Galaxy Fund has not yet sold, Xia Yu is very determined. He does not believe that his opponents dare to call the Philip Brothers and invest funds in units of 100 million.
Now that the valuation of Philip Brothers is about to fall below $100 million, the cost of buying shares is very small. It depends on whether the opponent has the ability to keep so many shares!
Thinking of this, Xia Yu instructed Toby Moulton: "Toby, buy it with all your strength, it doesn't matter if you increase the price,
But be sure to let the company's shareholding ratio exceed 66.7%! "
"And don't forget to investigate who your opponent is!"
Feeling the resolute meaning in the boss's tone, Toby Moulton's face was straight, and he nodded his head in response: "Understood, I will do it myself."
Soon Toby Moulton left the office at a hurried pace.
Xia Yu tapped his fingers on the table, his eyes narrowed slightly, and there was an inexplicable brilliance in his eyes, and names kept flashing in his mind.
"Ring Ling Ling..."
Half an hour later, a rapid bell rang, awakening Xia Yu from his thoughts.
He picked up the receiver and was about to ask who the other party was. The familiar voice from the receiver made Xia Yu's face straighten, and he immediately greeted him, "Sir Carter, hello."
The caller turned out to be Duke Carter Howard, which surprised Xia Yu. Thinking about it, this seemed to be the second time Duke Carter Howard called him. Usually, for anything, it was through Elena or Elena. Conveyed by George Berkeley.
"Good luck, it happened that you answered the phone, Xia Yu..."
Listening to Duke Carter Howard's constant remarks, Xia Yu's face gradually became solemn and his attention became more and more concentrated, for fear of missing any information.
"Humph! Sure enough, it's them!"
Three minutes later, Duke Carter Howard finally finished talking, Xia Yu pondered for ten seconds, and said with certainty: "Sir Carter, if your investigation is correct, then it is not possible that the Rothschild family wants to annex Bahrain. Banks must want to do that.”
"The current situation is that we are on the bright side, and the Rothier family is hiding in the dark. Do you think that the Barings Bank has collapsed. Is it possible for the two of us to take over the entire Barings Bank?"
In Xia Yu's opinion, whether the Rothier family directly stole the Barings Bank or held a part of the equity, it was not the result he wanted, nor the result that Duke Carter Howard wanted.
Royal Bank of Scotland and Standard Chartered Bank have the Rothschild family involved, which made his plan not perfect, and he did not want Barings Bank to do the same.
Duke Carter Howard, who believes that he wants to expand the autonomy and strength of the Howard family in the financial field, is absolutely unwilling to see the Rothier family come in, so he can't hide his secrets, and his future actions have no secrets at all.
The ancient British aristocracy has never weakened the defensiveness of the Rothier family!
"If the Rothier family is also competing, it will be difficult for us to achieve our original goal. We must find a partner who can play a decisive role."
The dull voice of Duke Carter Howard came through the receiver.
"Who?"
Xia Yu asked succinctly.
"The Royal Family!"
Duke Carter Howard said again.
Xia Yu was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, then nodded slowly and said:
"That's right, I believe the royal family would not want to see the Barings Bank in the hands of the Rothier family."
The Rothschild family is the financial hegemon of the United Kingdom. The Barclays Bank controlled by the Rothschild family is now the largest bank in the United Kingdom. In addition, it is also in HSBC Group, National Westminster Bank, Standard Chartered Bank, Royal Bank of Scotland, etc. Holding shares in the bank has enough influence!
If the Rothschild family swallows Barings Bank, one of the top British banks, with the Rothschild family's means, there is a high probability of saving it back to Barings Bank. status has become more unshakable.
The UK's financial power landscape will be extremely unbalanced!
Not to mention, the Bank of Barings is the royal partner of the royal family. Now the large assets of the royal family are managed by the Bank of Barings. If the Bank of Barings is taken away by the Rothschild family, the large assets of the royal family will have to find a partner again. The royal family would not cooperate with the Rothier family.
"Sir Na Carter, which of the royal family do you intend to be our partner?"
Xia Yu asked immediately.
The words of Duke Carter Howard came again from the receiver: "Prince Philip!"
Xia Yu said without hesitation: "This is a very good candidate, Sir Carter, are you sure?"
"..."
After talking for another half an hour, Xia Yu hung up the phone. The smile on the corner of his mouth revealed that he was in a good mood at this time.
Just now, Duke Carter Howard has said that he is sure to pull Prince Philip onto the ship, use the power of the royal family, influence the Bank of England of the Bank of England to intervene, and directly remove the Rothschild family from the competition list.
In the royal family, it is impossible for the queen to participate in the business affairs of the royal family for the sake of face and image, but her husband, Prince Philip, has no such restriction, and there is also the means of a vest company.
I believe that as long as you get Prince Philip, you get the Queen.
If he can cooperate with the royal family, the benefits for Xia Yu will not be a star and a half. He has a way to make the relationship closer. When the relationship is constantly cut, political and commercial interests will be easier to manipulate.
Therefore, Xia Yu agreed with Duke Carter Howard's proposal, and he also looked forward to Duke Carter Howard's success.
In order to ensure the success rate, Duke Carter Howard also said that at a critical time, he would even go to Barrett Baring in private to give the Rohir Family a fatal blow.
It is believed that among the Rothier family, who are behind the scenes, and the direct opponents of the Howard family and the Bright Foundation, Barit Barin will hate the Rothier family even more.
After all, after further investigation, it was Barings Bank who deliberately opposed the Bright Fund and the Howard family first, and the latter two were completely legal and reasonable.
"Sir Carter is a powerful partner. It seems that I don't need to worry about the British side."
"It's better to deal with the US side first. I would like to know who this opponent is. Will it surprise me? Accident? Or a shock?"
