v3 Chapter 1482： Rohill: This high hat is not easy to wear!

"Dad, if the enemy initiates an acquisition from us, do we really want to sell the equity?"

Gavin Raleigh asked unwillingly.

After a long silence, Harry Oppenheimer said slowly: "Anglo American and De Beers are the pillar companies that we have been operating for so many years. If we can keep them, we must do our best to keep them."

"But it's the same sentence, it depends on the attitude of the Rohill family."

"Of course, we have to choose the first of the three situations where they sell equity, we sell equity, and we all have to sell equity."

Gavin Raleigh was taken aback, frowning and thinking for a long time before he looked at Harry Oppenheimer in amazement and asked, "Dad, are you trying to force the Rohill family to make a choice?"

Harry Oppenheimer said indifferently, "It's not about persecution, but about their attitude."

"Since the Roshir family has become the affair of our alliance, they have the responsibility and obligation to stand up and take on the heavy responsibility at the first time. If they ignore our life and death, do you think we have the obligation to act as a death squad for them?"

After that, Harry Oppenheimer gave Jarvin Raleigh a meaningful look.

Although it is said that the more critical the moment, the more allies have to stay together to keep warm, otherwise it is easy to be defeated by each.

But if the process of holding a group for warmth requires them to burn themselves to warm the Rothier family, then this is not holding a group for warmth, but for self-sacrifice.

Between the two choices of one's own death and the death of others, of course one's own life is more important!

Gavin Raleigh's face changed a few times, and then he nodded and shouted: "Dad, you are right."

"We have to pay, and we have to see if it is worth it!"

Harry Oppenheimer nodded silently.

"Come with me to visit Jacob Lowhill tonight, and you are ready."

"OK."

…

That night, Harry Oppenheimer took his son-in-law, Jarvin Raleigh, to the Rothschild family manor.

Only when they were led by the servant to the living room, they found that there was already someone in the living room.

Except for Jacob Lowhill and Evelyn Lowhill, Harry Oppenheimer's eyes narrowed the moment he saw the other two people.

It turned out to be the head of the Ceylon family and the Barrett family, Duke Ceylon and Myron Barrett, two old friends he also knew.

It's just that the identities of these two old friends are also very special, and they are also heavyweights in the British business and European capital circles.

Duke Ceylon is the chairman of Rio Tinto Group.

Myron Barrett is even more impressive. He is the chairman of the National Bank of Westminster, the top bank in the UK!

And most importantly.

Rio Tinto Group, like the National Westminster Bank, is not part of the Lowhill family consortium, but it has a deep connection with the Rohill family. The Ceylon family and the Barrett family are both allies of the Rohill family. .

With many competitors, Duke Ceylon and Myron Barrett can hold the positions of chairman of the two companies respectively, and the support of the Rohill family is indispensable.

This is especially true for Myron Barrett.

After all, National Westminster Bank is bigger and more complicated than Rio Tinto Group.

The National Westminster Bank was formed in 1970 by the merger of three very long-established banks: Westminster Bank, National Regional Bank and Regional Bank in the United Kingdom.

The equity of established banks is inherently complicated. Repeated mergers will result in even more chaotic shareholder relations and extremely scattered equity.

Even if the ambitious Myron Barrett spent more than ten years continuously increasing his shareholding and became the bank’s largest shareholder, the Barrett family’s shareholding ratio in National Westminster Abbey reached 12.19%. !

With the support of the Lowhill family and other allies, Myron Barrett has always managed the National Westminster Bank well, so the Barrett family has a relatively stable position in the operation of the National Westminster Bank.

But now this time is a special period, no operating conditions and capabilities have any effect, the competition is hard power, it is the British pound...

Harry Oppenheimer's thoughts were only a moment.

When Duke Ceylon and Myron Barrett saw the arrival of Harry Oppenheimer and Gavin Raleigh, their minds changed sharply, and then they got up at the same time.

"Jacob, Evelyn, good evening!"

"Duke, Myron, I didn't expect you to be there too!"

"long time no see!"

"Yeah, long time no see, Harry!"

"Sit down together and talk."

"..."

After a brief greeting, Harry Oppenheimer and Gavin Raleigh sat on the empty sofa on the left.

Although I don't know to what extent they talked about it before.

But Harry Oppenheimer wouldn't want to listen to it for a while, this choice would only make him suffer.

Therefore, before his **** was hot, he looked at Jacob Lowhill and said, "Jacob, we are in trouble. Many mines of De Beers and Anglo American have encountered blackmail. The attack by Water International has suffered heavy losses."

"And because competitors are vying to cut prices, ore futures prices have also plummeted, and now we are facing tremendous pressure from market competition."

"Moreover, our company is already being shorted by the enemy!"

"These troubles, it is difficult for us to solve them by ourselves!"

The Roshir family’s intelligence power is not covered, and Jacob Roshir naturally knows the news. It is just such a thorny issue, and he cannot easily express his opinion.

Therefore, after pondering for a few seconds, he slowly asked: "Harry, I am very sorry for the trouble you have encountered. It is just that with the strength of the Oppenheimer family, I shouldn't be powerless to deal with it."

Harry Oppenheimer shook his head immediately, and said the reason he thought about in the future: "Jacob, the current social situation in South Africa is not optimistic, and the ethnic movement is getting more and more intense. There has been a huge energy and resources of our family involved, you It should be known too."

"What's more, the strength of Blackwater International in Africa is obvious to all. Where are we their opponents?"

Jacob Rohill's complexion sank, unable to refute.

Upon seeing this, Harry Oppenheimer continued: "Now, the enemy has been eyeing De Beers and Anglo American. If we do not have strong countermeasures, then... these two companies will not be guaranteed by the enemy. Take away."

Harry Oppenheimer just finished speaking.

Duke Ceylon said immediately: "Jacob, Rio Tinto's crisis is the same as Anglo American's, and we need sufficient financial support."

Evelyn Roshir set his sights on Myron Barrett.

But Myron Barrett spread his hands helplessly: "Although National Westminster Bank is one of the top five banks in the UK, it has also lost a large amount of liquidity before."

"What's more, the money you want is not a small amount. Although I am the chairman of the board, it must be discussed by the board of directors. The current situation is that it is very likely that the money you want has not been approved, and I have lost the right The control of the board of directors was even driven down."

"So I suggest that everyone support each other for some time first, or strengthen my control over the National Westminster Bank. As long as the crisis of the National Westminster Bank is resolved, it is very simple to want funds at that time. !"

"Otherwise, if National Westminster Bank is forcibly acquired by an opponent, then we will be in greater danger!"

After speaking, Myron Barrett fixed his sight on Jacob Rohill.

Hearing that, Duke Ceylon and Harry Oppenheimer on the side frowned, and they secretly scolded Myron Barrett, the old coin, for being unkind, and they came to this hand.

Sure enough, Jacob Rohill seized the opportunity, looked at Duke Ceylon and Harry Oppenheimer, and asked slowly: "Do you think Mellen's plan is feasible?"

Of course not feasible!

only.

But I don’t know how to refute...

at this time.

Gavin Raleigh, who hadn't said a word, suddenly said, "We will think so, and the enemy will certainly think so."

"Moreover, by comparison, National Westminster Bank's equity is the most dispersed, and the difficulty of defending and integration is also the highest."

"I'm afraid that the battle for the National Bank of Westminster Abbey will become a protracted battle, so the previous assumptions are really just assumptions."

"I think since we are all in the same camp, we shouldn't give up any ally."

Harry Oppenheimer gave his son-in-law an admiring look, and then added: "My son-in-law is right."

"Jacob, we must unite at this time."

"You have always been leading, this time we still listen to your orders."

The heads of Jacob Roshir and Evelyn Roshir suddenly became bigger.

The high hat given by Harry Oppenheimer, the old fried dough stick, is not easy to wear!

PS: I'm really sorry, I let everyone down, I've been off for so long, and now I try my best to recover.
