章節 784: Chapter 784: A financial layout spanning the globe
Two blossoming flowers each represent a branch.
Rewind time more than twenty days.
While Xia Yu was hunting for major prey in the United States, his layout in the UK was quietly being calculated.
Rothschild family manor.
The head of the family, Jacob Rothschild, was leisurely watering the flowerbeds with a watering can when a series of footsteps came from far away.
Jacob Rothschild looked back, smiled, and said softly, 'Dear Evelyn, you're back.'
As he spoke, Jacob Rothschild glanced at the briefcase his cousin Evelyn Rothschild was holding.
'Well, that's about enough,' said Evelyn Lochiel with a slight nod, as if he had thought of something. His expression was a little inexplicable, as if he were admiring, sighing, or solemn.
Jacob Lochiel noticed his cousin's very different expression, his brows furrowed slightly, and he put down the watering can and said, 'Let's go, we'll talk inside.'
After that, the two walked one after the other into the back room.
As soon as the two men sat down, the maid skillfully brewed coffee.
Evelyn Jacob did not waste any time, directly opened his briefcase and took out a document, handing it to Jacob Rothschild and saying with emotion, 'Jacob, this is the information we have collected so far. This little guy is very vigilant, and his methods of doing things are not at all like those of a young person. He is like an old fox.'
Jacob Rothschild did not expect his cousin to make such a remark, and a sense of curiosity arose in his heart. He took the document and read it from beginning to end.
For a moment, the room fell silent.
After a long while, Jacob Rothschild put down the document in his hands. The smile he had maintained at first was nowhere to be seen, and he said to Evelyn Rothschild, 'I never thought it. He really is a crafty fox. We underestimated him. He grew to this extent without us noticing, and he stole money from our vault.
The Rothschild family is the financial overlord of the United Kingdom. Barclays Bank, the UK's largest bank, is the core of their family, and its tentacles have penetrated into the UK's second largest bank, National Westminster Bank, HSBC Holdings, and even the British aristocratic alliance, Lloyds Bank, has opened a small gap.
These banks, in turn, are the banks behind the London Gold Exchange. It can be said that the London Gold Exchange, which has the world's largest gold trading volume, is the Rothschild family's territory.
But even in the London Gold Exchange, which they regard as their territory, Xia Yu unexpectedly took away a large sum of money without them noticing.
Investigation information shows that Xia Yu's side has seized more than 5 billion US dollars in funds from the London Gold Exchange, which is the limit of what they could investigate.
The companies involved include Jiuding Bank, Jiuding Insurance Company, Jiuding Securities Company, which are all subsidiaries of Jiuding Financial Group, as well as Guangming Fund, Galaxy Fund, and possibly other unknown companies.
Of course, in reality, Xia Yu's profits exceeded tens of billions of dollars, and the funds he manipulated reached as high as 20 billion dollars. However, from the beginning, Xia Yu was wary of the Rothschild family discovering his activities, so the methods he used to conceal his actions became more and more complex.
After all, the Rothschild family did not completely control the entire London Gold Exchange. For example, Lloyds Bank would not show the Rothschild family the information of its users and transaction data. Therefore, they could only trace a part of it and could not go any further.
But just the $5 billion they found was enough to shake Jacob Rothschild.
Xia Yu was the pawn they focused on, so they invested a lot of manpower and resources to gather intelligence.
They had originally planned to infiltrate Xia Yu's business empire without arousing his resentment, and were already in the process of doing so. However, they had not expected that Xia Yu's strength would suddenly increase, and he was still holding a large amount of liquid capital. At this time, the Rothschild family's calculations became difficult.
In the final analysis, although they had tried to pay as much attention as possible to Xia Yu, they had underestimated his abilities.
'Jacob, this is only the information we have been able to gather. There is still a lot of information we cannot gather, especially in Xiangjiang. He has his own armed forces and an elite secret service team in the shadows. It is already difficult for our people to gather any hidden information about him,'
Evelyn Rothschild said with a solemn expression.
'It seems that he is definitely a genius among geniuses, not inferior to John D. Rockefeller and John Pierpont Morgan in the past, and even outperforming them. If we let him go unchecked, Asia will rise again with a top-level consortium. Now he has also extended his tentacles to the island country, acquiring a top regional bank, Chiba Bank. The six major island country consortia are not yet on high alert, and perhaps none of the six island country consortia can stop him!'
'We must adjust our strategy. We can't just sit back and do nothing. He has set his sights on the UK, and it's easy for him to compete directly with us!'
Jacob Rothschild's face was ashen, and he nodded slightly as he pondered.
After a long while, Jacob Rothschild said as if to himself, 'He has so much capital that his weaknesses can be infinitely minimised. As long as the capital is not spent, any threat we pose to him will be insignificant. What's more, he is like a rat, keeping his company private and never going public, always being so cautious.'
Evelyn Locher agreed, 'Yes, he now owns Jiuding Bank and Qianhai Bank, and is now acquiring Standard Chartered Bank and Royal Bank of Scotland. If these two banks are successful, his funds will become even more hidden, and the funds he can mobilise will far exceed 5 billion US dollars. That will be even more troublesome!'
'Not to mention, his forte is still investment. Jiuding Securities, Galaxy Fund, Guangming Fund, and his Polaris Capital in the United States. With his unerring investment acumen, if they all grow up, a global financial empire will take shape, and he will become another Morgan!'
'Jacob, even we didn't expect the international gold price to skyrocket, but he started laying the groundwork a long time ago, and he acted so decisively. His ability and vision are terrifying!'
'Can we control him?'
When the Rothschild family's Sixth Empire was at its peak, they were unable to control the Morgan and Rockefeller families, and they were stabbed hard by the two families, which directly disrupted the rules of the game and caused the Rothschild family's population to plummet. The Jewish foundation on which they relied was dealt a devastating blow.
It can be said that the reason the Rothschild family fell was due to the efforts of the mustache man. However, they were not unaware that the rise of the mustache man was partly due to their indulgence in the desire to make a fortune from war.
But the bigger reason was that the Morgan and Rockefeller families gave the mustache man political, economic and industrial support behind the scenes, using the mustache man to overthrow the Rothschild family's Sixth Empire.
Today, the Rothschild family is no longer at the peak of its power. Not only has it been blocked by the Rockefeller and Morgan consortia, which have swapped positions, but the two have also tried to trap it in Europe, severing its tentacles in North America.
Within Europe, the relationship between the major ancient families and the Rothschild family is also very complicated. Many major families cooperate with the Rothschild family on the surface, but in fact they secretly join forces to boycott the Rothschild family, to prevent it from rising again to become the overlord of Europe, above all families and consortia?
Xia Yu, on the other hand, has already grown out of his most vulnerable early years and has the capital to protect himself.
Under these circumstances, it is too difficult for the Rothschild family to control Xia Yu, who spans nearly half the globe!
Even Evelyn Rothschild, who has seen many storms and is well-informed about Xia Yu's latest intelligence, is not very confident.
