章節 1479: Chapter 1479: We act as white knights
Gianni Agnelli had already lit a cigar while Jakob Rothschild was speaking.
He took a sharp drag and exhaled a ring of smoke before continuing Jakob Rothschild's train of thought with a positive comment.
'Jakob is right, Europe is our Europe!'
Peter Wallenberg said slowly, 'That's definitely true, but everyone can see the situation as it is.'
'The Rockefeller, Morgan, Mellon, and North Star consortia in the United States have launched a fierce attack, and other American consortia have also intervened.'
'The capital of these American consortia alone is enough to compete with our entire Europe in the past.'
'The Sumitomo Group in the island country and the Jiuding Group in East Asia are no less powerful than the top ten American consortia.'
'And now dozens of first-class financial institutions have been seriously damaged.'
'There are still constant battles within Europe, and it is very difficult and risky for us to prevent our enemies from entering!'
At the end of his speech, Peter Wallenberg couldn't help but glance at Jacob Rothschild, the meaning being more than obvious.
Although the capital markets of other European countries are also in chaos, there is still a limit.
The most serious situation is in the UK, where forces led by the Bright Fund, the Howard family, and the Chinese business consortium are constantly engaged in a capital war with the Rothschild family, with other family consortia participating either voluntarily or under duress.
London is one of Europe's financial centres, and many companies from all over Europe are listed on the London Stock Exchange.
The chaos in the UK's capital and financial markets inevitably spreads.
The source is actually here with the Rothschild family!
'Yes, a strong fortress is often first breached from within!' Karl Frick couldn't help but exclaim.
Although everyone was implicitly or explicitly blaming the Rothschilds, Jacob Rothschild was not angry or defensive.
Instead, he commented approvingly: 'Everyone is right. There are both external and internal conflicts.'
'With our strength weakened, we must first focus on finding a breakthrough.
'My idea is to resolve internal conflicts first. After eliminating a few leading traitors, other forces will not dare to wait and see. After we have consolidated the power of Europe, we can then fight a protracted war against external enemies.'
'We have a local advantage. In the long run, governments will definitely be able to formulate protection policies, and the enemy will definitely slowly retreat.'
The crowd is not stupid. How can they not hear the meaning in Jacob Rothschild's words?
Gianni Agnelli said in a low voice, slightly dissatisfied, 'Jacob, if the Illuminati Foundation could be eliminated so easily, your Jacob family would have already done it.'
'Let's not talk about anything else for now. Half a month ago, the Illuminati Foundation raised nearly 13 billion pounds, and with the original liquid capital, it has a conservative total of 15 billion pounds. Then it absorbed the investment banking business of S.G. Warburg, further increasing its capital.
'Not to mention the first-class banks under the Bright Consortium, such as HSBC, Royal Bank of Scotland, Chinese Mercantile Bank, and Bahrain Bank.'
'What can we use to destroy a consortium with tens of billions of pounds in liquid capital? Rely on empty words?'
Victor Hohenstaufen could not help but add, 'Yes, throughout history, I have never seen a company that has been crushed despite being extremely well-funded. It's not realistic.'
'I think that none of us here can compare to the Bright Consortium in terms of cash flow alone!'
'The Illuminati have already laid a very solid foundation. Fighting them, we will be the ones fighting a protracted battle, and one in which neither side has the advantage of policy.'
'Of course, I'm not completely against Jacob's opinion. Resolving internal conflicts should indeed be a priority.'
'However, I believe that we should focus on alleviating conflicts and uniting forces as much as possible.'
'This time, it's just us here discussing it, but I hope that the next time, the number of people will increase exponentially.'
After hearing Victor Hohenlohe's opinion, everyone began to think about it.
After a moment's thought, Saren Francisco could not help but say, 'Then let's integrate some companies first?'
Swish!
Everyone looked at him.
Facing the gaze of the crowd, Saren Francisco felt very uncomfortable, his mouth twitching, and he said awkwardly, 'Or think of another way?'
'No!'
Jacob Rothschild narrowed his eyes and shook his head.
While Salen Francisco was still in a daze, he only heard Jacob Rothschild continue, 'In fact, we should compete with our enemies to integrate our forces, for example, by acquiring some companies to strengthen our power.'
Peter Wallenberg looked a little hesitant, because he had only taken over the family business for just over four years, and already had a clear direction for the family's development strategy, which was currently being implemented.
Of course, he is also envious of some companies and knows that this is a very rare opportunity, but he is worried that taking too big a step will affect the family's original plan and bring more unknown risks.
On the contrary, Gianni Agnelli revealed a smile and expressed his support for Jacob Rothschild's attitude: 'In the battle to attack Xiangjiang alone, more than 20 financial institutions have been seriously damaged and are now in crisis. These institutions are all first-class institutions in various countries or in Europe.'
'The merger of S.G. Warburg's investment banking business with the Bright Fund has greatly strengthened the Bright Fund.'
'If other institutions are also successfully acquired by our enemies, especially by the Morgan and Rockefeller consortia, then relying on the foundations of these institutions in Europe, the Morgan and Rockefeller consortia will soon be able to consolidate their positions, which would be absolutely disastrous for us!'
'Right now these institutions are still putting up a strong fight, but they are already at a definite disadvantage.'
'If we appear as white knights, I think these institutions will definitely welcome us.'
'And!'
'We must act quickly, otherwise more and more shareholders of these institutions will surrender. But if they are acquired by us, their confidence will be completely different!'
After hearing this, the expressions of the other several people changed.
You see, companies such as Thurbus Capital, Schroder Group, and the Dutch Deep Sea Fund are all well-established financial institutions with a history of over a century, and the stakes held by these institutions are extremely diverse.
Perhaps the stakes held by an institution are both scattered and small, and they cannot pose a threat to the ownership of a company, nor do they have sufficient influence.
But if the stakes held by these institutions are consolidated, it would be very alarming!
If these institutions were all taken over by an enemy, as in the case of S.G. Warburg, and if the enemy exchanged and consolidated their holdings, then many of Europe's top companies would be in trouble, dragged into the war and their backyards set on fire.
But if these institutions were taken over by our side, then many would simply not need much.
For example, the control of many companies by the Rothschild family, the Agnelli family, etc., would increase significantly, and there would be new expansions, and the defensive front and firepower would also increase.
However...
'Gani, your reasoning is correct, but if we use our funds to acquire other companies, even if we successfully acquire some institutions, our liquidity will not necessarily increase, and it may even decrease.'
'Our overall combat effectiveness may not necessarily increase, our defensive front will be further extended, and we may even face more risks!'
Peter Wallenberg expressed his concerns.
