Just then, Xia Yu had a flash of inspiration and asked, 'Are you going to make you in charge of the aluminum company?'
Cindy was slightly stunned. She didn't expect Xia Yu to have guessed.
She smiled and nodded slightly, saying, 'Yes, I took the initiative to ask my father if I could come here to work, and now I'm the vice president of the aluminium company.'
'Let's get reacquainted, I'm Cindy, your partner.'
Looking at Cindy's extended jade hand, Xia Yu smiled and shook her hand, his voice full of magnetism, 'Cindy, please advise me in the future!'
'Hee hee~'
Cindy laughed happily.
...
Alcoa's mainland subsidiary, with the same registered name as the parent company, had already been established before Cindy arrived, and construction was underway.
The deal Xia Yu had discussed with Richard King Mellon for Gulf Oil had also been completed.
Pacific Oil had traded 820 million US dollars for Gulf Oil, while also taking on 1.19 billion US dollars in debt.
Pacific Oil had acquired Gulf Oil's entire business in Western and Northern Europe.
The business is quite large, and is mainly divided into three major sections: three major oil refineries, two lubricant blending plants and terminal petrol stations.
The three major oil refineries are the Bertorio Oil Refinery in Italy, with a processing capacity of 4 million tons/year.
The Europoort Oil Refinery in the Netherlands, with a processing capacity of 3.75 million tons/year.
And the Høruphavn Oil Refinery in Denmark, with a processing capacity of 4.25 million tons/year.
The three oil refineries together can process 12 million tons/year.
In terms of this production capacity, Pacific Oil can definitely be considered one of the top oil companies in Europe.
The two lubricant blending plants are located in Belgium and Sweden.
There are a total of 1,500 petrol stations, all of which are located in Western Europe.
Last year, the 1,525 petrol stations in Northern Europe were sold by Gulf Oil to Kuwait National Petroleum Company in two separate transactions, which is a pity.
The acquisition of these businesses from Gulf Oil has suddenly increased Pacific Oil's workforce by 32,400 people.
Of course, the most important thing was that they acquired a complete system and refining technology.
Together with the oil fields that Pacific Oil had previously hoarded, it can be said that they have opened up all the industrial chains in the oil industry, which is most precious.
Now, Pacific Oil's energy is still focused on digestion and integration. As long as the company stabilises, it will begin its path of expansion.
Cindy's arrival has added a lot of colour to Xia Yu's life, but because of work reasons, Cindy has to be on the mainland at least half of the week.
Two flowers blooming together, each in its own way.
After the Liberal Party replaced its leader, the situation in Canada changed dramatically.
First, there was the political situation.
Pierre used two weeks to change the government and the positions in the parliament without regard for the consequences, putting enormous pressure on the Progressive Conservative Party. The newspapers controlled by the Progressive Conservative Party, such as the Ottawa Bulletin and the Canadian Bulletin, constantly attacked Pierre and the Liberal Party, causing the Liberal Party's poll ratings to drop considerably.
Pierre, however, did not care at all and continued to do things his own way.
After two weeks, Pierre gave up the position of Prime Minister to Joseph Chrétien.
On 19 May, Joseph Chrétien was sworn in.
Just two days after taking office, Joseph Chrétien asked the Governor General Jeanne Sauvé to dissolve Parliament and set a general election for 30 June 1984.
Prior to this, Joseph Chrétien and others kept the news strictly confidential.
The sudden announcement came as a bolt from the blue, shocking the entire Canadian political scene.
Even Martin Brian of the Progressive Conservative Party, who had been preparing for the general election long in advance, was completely thrown off guard by the sudden news.
Governor General Jeanne Sauvé would certainly approve Joseph Chrétien's request, so it was just a formality.
This meant that there were only 41 days left for campaigning for all parties!
Martin Brian urgently called a meeting of the Progressive Conservative Party's senior management, and then went to visit Harris Losier in the evening, hoping that the Losier family would give their full support.
At this time, under the fierce attack of the bears, the bulls, led by the Rothschild family, were losing ground. The Canadian dollar exchange rate against the US dollar fell all the way, directly hitting the 0.8 mark, and the lowest point was 0.7931.
Many more bulls were forced to liquidate their positions, further weakening the bulls' strength.
The continuous decline in the exchange rate caused capital to begin to flee, and the Canadian stock market was forced to enter a mode of plummeting.
The Toronto 300 Index fell all the way from 2440 points to around 2300 points. The impact on the Canadian financial market finally reached the Canadian people.
Canada has always had extremely high unemployment and other problems, but they were kept at bay by the rising stock market.
But as this last protective shield began to crack, the grievances of the Canadian people finally began to erupt.
The Progressive Liberal Party moved very quickly. The Ottawa Gazette was the first to bombard the Liberal cabinet, blaming the Liberal Party and criticising the Liberal Party's poor governance, which had led to an imbalance in the development of the Canadian financial market and attacks from foreign capital.
It also reported the words of Martin Brian, that if he was elected Prime Minister, he would be the first to reform the Canadian financial system.
This was a swift counterattack, and Xia Yudu, who was far away in Hong Kong, was amazed.
No wonder that in his previous life, Martin Brian was able to strongly defeat the Liberal Party and serve two terms of ten years. It can be seen that Martin Brian's political acumen and ability were extremely strong.
But no matter how strong he is, in this life, for his own interests and to deal a heavy blow to the Rothschild family, Martin Brian and the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada must fail!
Very soon.
Just one day later.
Joseph Chrétien held a large press conference at the Canadian government meeting place.
He first listed the series of efforts made by the Liberal government over the past few years to stimulate the Canadian economy out of the doldrums, taking all the credit, and then strongly accused Martin Brian of irresponsible shirking of responsibility. The Liberal government has done its best and made a series of efforts against international capital attacking the Canadian exchange rate market.
But it is precisely because the government's control over the banks is not strong enough, and domestic and foreign banks in Canada are acting in bad faith, that has led to the current systemic financial crisis.
Finally, he announced that in order to deal with this crisis and defeat international capital, he has come up with a practical plan with the think tank.
That is to prepare the nationalisation of some of Canada's large private banks in order to strengthen the government's control and intervention in the financial sector.
After the press conference, this shocking news spread throughout the Canadian financial sector within half an hour, and also reached abroad.
The most furious ones were none other than the major banks in Canada!
Harris Losier took the brunt of it!
