When Yang Jing returned to the headquarters of KY investment fund in New York, Mike aller was on the phone with a happy face. Seeing Yang Jing coming, he quickly said two words and hung up the phone.

"Look at your look, things have been handled well this time." Yang Jing asked with a smile while sitting on the sofa.

Mike aller went to the sofa opposite Yang Jing and sat down, "boss, tea or coffee?"

Yang Jing waved her hand and pointed to the bottle of mineral water she brought. Mike aller smiled. He poured hot water into his tea cup and said, "there are three things I want to report to you this time, especially the first thing. You need to make up your mind."

Put down the hot kettle and Mike aller covered the teacup. In the past two years, under the leadership of Yang Jing, Mike aller has almost given up his previous inseparable coffee and began to drink green tea. Now he is as inseparable from green tea as he was from coffee.

That's a good thing. Anyway, tea is better than coffee. Caffeine is not a good thing.

"Mike, talk about it."

"Well, the first thing is that with the close cooperation of Henry and David, Atlantic capital under KY investment fund has completed the complete acquisition of Hartford national corporation and Arlington trust. Atlantic capital spent a total of US $17 billion on the acquisition of the two banks, including US $11 billion for Hartford national corporation and US $6 billion for Arlington trust 。”

This is really good news. In Yang Jing's plan, the future consortium of its own will take the bank as the core. If a consortium can't control a large enough bank, it can't become a real consortium. Therefore, acquiring banks is the main work of KY investment fund in the next period of time, and its importance even exceeds speculation in the financial market.

Now the dollar is very valuable, but it also depreciates rapidly. Twenty years later, M & A cases worth tens of billions of dollars are nothing, and M & A cases worth hundreds of billions of dollars occur from time to time. However, in the 1980s, the world's largest M & A case was only $25 billion.

KY investment fund does have a lot of money on hand. Similarly, the current global stock market can not accommodate such a large amount of capital of KY investment fund. Moreover, in view of the damn tax system in the United States, a large amount of capital of KY investment fund is floating abroad. Even the capital currently owned by KY investment fund in the United States, if you don't invest quickly, So it is also a very heavy burden for KY investment fund.

Therefore, Yang Jing, who is familiar with this era, decided to invest a huge amount of money to acquire some small-scale banks in the United States from now on.

Originally, Yang Jing had no clue about the acquisition of small-scale banks in the United States. As a result, the Boston consortium jumped out to find fault, so Yang Jing directly focused on the Boston consortium.

Hartford national corporation and Arlington trust were originally acquired by the shoemart company under the name of the Boston Consortium at the end of this year, and finally formed the Boston national shoemart bank, the core bank of the Boston consortium. But because the Boston consortium provoked Yang Jing, Yang Jing directly decided to intercept the Boston consortium.

Although the Boston consortium is one of the eight old American consortia, it is not built with blood as the core like the families of Rockefeller, Morgan, DuPont and Mellon. The Boston consortium, like the newly emerged Texas consortium and California consortium after World War II, is a patchwork consortium, That is, several first-class businessmen led a group of second-class businessmen to form a super giant.

In fact, such a consortium is not so peaceful. After all, there are so many resources, and the families or companies within the consortium will also compete in some key interests. Therefore, after World War II, the decline of the Boston consortium can be said to be the fastest of the eight old consortia.

If the people of the Boston consortium didn't provoke Yang Jing at the charity auction held by the Mellon family that day, maybe Yang Jing wouldn't start with the Boston consortium, but now that he has started, he must completely beat or even shoot the Boston consortium by thunder!

Therefore, under the order of Yang Jing, KY investment fund established Atlantic capital and completed the wholly-owned acquisition of Hartford national company and Arlington trust in only four months.

Even if the board shareholders of Hartford national corporation and Arlington trust opposed the acquisition of Atlantic capital, Atlantic capital brazenly launched a malicious acquisition of the two banks with huge financial support after fruitless negotiation with the shareholders of the two banks. Now that you've decided to cut your beard, who cares if you make a malicious acquisition or not? Get it first!

This is why the acquisition of the two banks cost a huge amount of US $17 billion. If it is a real acquisition, it can't even use US $13 billion based on the market value of the two banks.

You have to sell what I like, and you have to sell it if you don't!

Isn't it money? We have no other capital, but we have sufficient funds!

Atlantic capital first acquired Hartford national corporation. Because it was a malicious acquisition, Hartford National Corporation, which originally had a market value of less than $7 billion, spent a full $11 billion, with a premium of nearly 100%.

However, the ferocity of Atlantic capital also frightened the shareholders of Arlington trust. Therefore, Atlantic capital did not pay much premium when acquiring Arlington trust. The acquisition of Arlington trust, which had a market value of more than $5 billion, only cost $6 billion.

"Boss, now that the two banks have been acquired, what should we do next? Is it to reorganize the two banks into a new and larger bank or..."

Yang Jing shook her head with a smile and said, "Mike, you can discuss this kind of thing. I said that I won't ask too much about the whole Dragon Fund in the future except some major investment actions. You are all professional managers. Do you need me to teach you how to do this kind of thing?"

Yang Jing consulted the holy ring. If she wants to form a consortium, it's not impossible, but don't affect history too much, otherwise the sword of Damocles will fall on Yang Jing's head at any time. Therefore, Yang Jing is not ready to participate in these things.

Hearing what Yang Jing said, Mike aller said with a look of embarrassment: "boss, I need you to give us a direction now. You can ignore it, but at least you have to give us directions."

Yang Jing looked at Mike alle, finally shook her head reluctantly and said, "continue to acquire banks, and then reorganize several medium-sized banks. Don't rush to restructure into a large bank for the time being. In addition, pay more attention to vale in Brazil and some mining groups in Australia."

Vale, the world's largest iron ore company in the future, although its scale is not small, its main equity is controlled by the Brazilian government and Mitsui products in Japan. Yang Jing has no choice about the shares in the hands of the Brazilian government, but for the shares in the hands of Mitsui, Yang Jing feels that he can take advantage of the upcoming Japanese stock disaster to see if there is any way to get the shares in vale in the hands of Mitsui.

And the mining companies in Australia. Now the mining companies in Australia are led by Rio Tinto, and BHP Billiton, which is even bigger in the future, has not merged yet. The high tide of merger of Australian mineral companies mostly occurred in the 1990s and the early stage of the new century. Then, taking advantage of the fact that Australian mineral companies have not yet begun to integrate, they can intervene in Australia's mineral industry in advance.

Because of the lack of high-grade iron ore in Huaxia, later generations of Huaxia have been deeply hurt by a group of iron ore suppliers led by Australia. If they can solve the shackles that have been imposed on Huaxia's neck after taking over the Dragon Fund, they must also play a great role in ensuring their own safety.

So Yang Jing is now ready to start with Australian mining companies and vale!

Mike aller wrote down what Yang Jing said in his book, so he didn't ask any more questions.

He has known the mysterious boss for nine years, so Mike Allah knows the boss's style. Especially in recent years, the boss is less and less open, which makes Mike aller feel that he has a heavy burden.

However, the three things the boss said today have made Mike aller very happy. At least he now knows which direction his focus of work should be tilted in the next few years.

There is no need for him to invest, but the acquisition of banks, minerals in Australia and vale in Brazil is enough for Mike alle to be busy for several years.

Closing his notebook, Mike aller said: "Boss, the second thing is about next year's presidential election. According to your opinion, I set up several consulting companies in the Federation and have contacted Mr. Bush with these consulting companies. Mr. Bush is very grateful for our support, so Mr. Bush wants to invite you to dinner. What time would you like to see?"

Since it is necessary to set up a consortium in the United States, both now and in the future, it is inseparable from the support of American politics. Why are the Koch brothers so competitive? Is it because the brothers rely on huge funds to train a large number of congressmen belonging to their brothers in Congress? Moreover, the brothers are on two sides, and both Republicans and Democrats take all, so this The brothers can be influential in both business and politics in the United States.

At present, the brothers have not started to develop their own forces in politics, which is undoubtedly a good opportunity for Yang Jing.

In terms of capital, the Koch brothers are far from being able to compare with the Dragon Fund. In fact, it is not very difficult to develop their own power in American politics. Nothing else, just throw money hard. To paraphrase a popular saying on the network of later generations, in American politics, if there is anything that can not be solved by $100 million, it will be $200 million!

Isn't it money? The Dragon Fund is short of everything else, except money!

And how can Yang Jing, who is familiar with the future direction of the United States, not put his treasure on the Republican presidential candidate George H. W. Bush?

Sponsoring Bush Sr. is only the first step for the Dragon Fund to get involved in American politics, so this step must be launched in one shot, so as to attract more congressmen to serve the Dragon Fund.

So Yang Jing thought for a moment and said, "look at the arrangement. I have nothing to do these days. Even going to Texas is no problem!"

PS: bow and thank the "very lazy fish" for the reward of 100.
