Chapter 1525: Xia Yu's Alms

Just as many Swedes had expected.

With the stock market opening on Monday.

Financial companies led by the Silver Rida Group bought stocks in large orders.

The stocks corresponding to the Stockholm 30 Index all stopped falling.

Not only that.

More than half of the stocks on the entire stock market stopped falling.

Although it is only more than half, almost all of these companies are among the top 150 companies in terms of market value.

In terms of market value, it has already exceeded more than two-thirds of the entire market.

Therefore, the effect is very significant.

This situation is, on the contrary, what international hot money is happy to see, and they have increased their selling efforts one after another.

Swedish officials and Swedish receivers can only continue to hold their heads high with bitterness.

Although the wealth of the country and society will be lost, it is relatively unimportant compared to the dire consequences of the stock market crash.

As for Xia Yu, he did not let Bright Fund or Kirin Capital Corporation cause any more damage.

All the funds on his side have been released and he is no longer interested in the profits.

For the sake of the long-term plan, he is happy to see Sweden buying up the stocks at high prices.

In particular, the Warburg family's act of taking on debt to buy up the stocks is praiseworthy!

The more they invest, the greater the losses for the Wallenberg family will be in six months' time.

By then, when capital invades Sweden again, there will be less resistance.

According to the plan, that's when the real invasion and control will be completed in one fell swoop.

Although this time, the profit will be tens of billions of dollars, it's just a simple plunder...

Xiangjiang Kowloon.

A very luxurious office.

Xia Yu is comfortably leaning back on the sofa, quietly reading the intelligence that Fok Kin-ning has compiled.

Although the intelligence is only fifty pages long, it is a microcosm of the important events in Europe over the past month.

Major changes and trends in politics and business are recorded in chronological order.

When the first version was compiled in January, it only contained a few pages of content.

'Sha...shasha...'

Xia Yu kept flipping through the pages, and the sound of paper rubbing against each other could be heard from time to time.

From time to time, he would also fall into thought.

In particular, when he saw the gains made by the Morgan and Rockefeller consortia, he would occasionally frown.

'It seems that we can't delay any longer. The American consortia have expanded their influence in Europe a little too aggressively this time.'

'Although they have dealt a blow to the Rothschild family and weakened many other European powers, they must be controlled, otherwise the European economy will be seriously damaged, which will benefit the United States too much.'

'In the future, Europe will still need to confront the United States, and it cannot be too weak. When the Red Soviet Union is gone, the pressure on our country will be even greater.'

'What I need is a strong Europe!'

'Not to mention that I've got all my hunting targets this time...'

Xia Yu's face lit up with a faint smile as he thought about the successful acquisition of Australia's BHP Billiton the day before and the previous acquisition of the British company BHP Billiton.

Both companies are currently under the Bright Fund, and Xia Yu has already instructed George Berkeley to merge the two companies and call the new company BHP Billiton.

In the previous life, the company was only merged in 2001, and later developed into the world's number one mining overlord. However, in the process, BHP Billiton grew by sucking the blood of the Chinese iron ore trade.

For now, the merger of the two companies will not make them the world's number one, but they will definitely secure a seat among the world's top five.

Of course, if you want to talk about who is actually the number one overlord in the mining industry, there is no doubt that it is Xia Yu's Bluestar Mining Company.

It's just that the parent company of this holding is too low-key, and it has not developed many mineral resources, so it is unknown.

With this move in Europe, BHP Billiton and Anglo American have secured the deal, allowing Xia Yu to further consolidate his position as the overlord of the global mining industry.

Coupled with the influence of the Sumitomo and Mellon consortia in the mining industry, it can be said that if Xia Yu stamps his foot, the global mining market will shake.

'The results of this month or so have been very fruitful!'

After reading the intelligence, Xia Yu let out a sigh and made a summary.

Fok Kin-ning, who was waiting quietly, couldn't help but smile and add, 'Master, if the results of the past month or so are combined, Europe will have to establish another top-level consortium.'

'You have created a miracle!'

As Xia Yu's vassal and the head of Xia Yu's family office, he of course knew just how amazing the results had been over the past month or so.

The investment banking business of Warburg Pincus, Europe's top investment bank.

The British banking giant National Westminster Bank.

The top British investment bank Schroders.

The world mining giant Anglo American.

The diamond giant De Beers.

The planned merger and establishment of the mining giant BHP Billiton.

And a series of companies such as Spain's Banco Santander, Manulife Insurance, Iberdrola, and the Faro Group.

As well as the profits of over ten billion US dollars made by Kirin Capital.

Each of these achievements is astonishing, not to mention when they are combined.

If he had not witnessed it with his own eyes, Fok Kin-ning would never have believed it.

This is nothing short of a miracle!

And the person who created this miracle is sitting right in front of him.

Just being in Hong Kong has caused economic turmoil in Europe and stirred up the world!

This could not help but cause a look of reverence in his eyes.

Seeing Fok Kin-ning's reverent expression, Xia Yu laughed heartily, 'Kin-ning, it seems that your ability to accept things mentally still needs to be improved!'

Fok Kin-ning was not at all embarrassed, but instead nodded in agreement, saying, 'I feel that no matter how high I raise my mental acceptance level, it will never be able to keep up with the speed at which you work miracles.'

'You!'

Xia Yu couldn't help but shake his head with a smile, before giving an order, 'Okay, you call French President François Mitterrand for me.'

'Okay, just a moment!'

After saying this, Fok Kin-ning picked up Xia Yu's mobile phone, flipped through the phonebook, found the number, and dialed it.

In a moment, the call was connected.

'Mr President, it's been a long time. This is Xia Yu.'

'Hello, Mr Xia. It's an honour to hear from you again. I send my regards...'

After a few brief pleasantries,

Xia Yu got down to business.

'Mr President, I hear you're facing a lot of pressure from the European Community?'

As Xia Yu finished speaking, François Mitterrand's voice came over the line.

'It is true that the pressure is greater than before, especially as Helmut's position has become more and more firm, and he is constantly lobbying other member states. However, Margaret and I have not agreed...'

Helmut refers to the current Chancellor of West Germany.

In fact, Xia Yu knows the current situation within the European Community fairly well.

There are currently twelve member states of the European Community.

In addition to the six founding members of West Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg, there are also Denmark, the United Kingdom and Ireland, which joined in 1973, Greece, which joined in 1987, and Spain and Portugal, which only joined last year.

Although according to the treaty, democracy is to be promoted and the status of each country is the same,

in reality, the right to speak is still related to power and influence.

The countries with the greatest say are of course West Germany and France, followed slightly by the United Kingdom.

The next tier is Italy and the Netherlands.

The worst are of course the newly admitted Spain and Portugal.

Currently, there are great divisions within the European Community over the issue of jointly resisting and expelling predatory capital from outside Europe and restoring the economic order in Europe.

Those who have clearly agreed are West Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal and Belgium.

Those who have clearly opposed are France, the United Kingdom, Luxembourg and Ireland.

Denmark, Greece and Spain had an ambiguous attitude.

Therefore, these three countries were also the targets of intense public relations efforts by the West German side.

But to be honest, everyone knew very well that even if Denmark, Greece and Spain agreed, it would be useless as long as France and the UK did not.

The reason France and the UK did not agree was naturally because of Xia Yu.

France did not agree because Xia Yu had personally spoken to François Mitterrand.

As for the UK, although it was at the heart of the European financial war, the key was the Bright Foundation, which was very aggressive. Not only did they eat up a lot of the meat, they also took the opportunity to strike outside the UK.

The results of the Bright Foundation in Spain speak for themselves.

Take the relationship between the Bright Foundation and the Labour Party.

The influence of the Bright Foundation in Spain is no different from the influence of the UK in Spain!

And look at the deterrent effect of the Bright Foundation on Sweden!

Margaret Thatcher certainly had no reason to stop.

Even when the Rothschilds and other forces kept up their public relations campaign against her, she stood firm.

After François Mitterrand had finished speaking,

'Sir, thank you for your hard work.

Xia Yu first praised his efforts, then said, 'But it's over. It's time to restore economic order in Europe.'

François Mitterrand was so surprised that he paused for a long time. Then, without asking any more questions, he simply replied, 'Mr Xia, as you wish.'

The two men then exchanged a few more words before ending the call.

Xia Yu then made another call to George Berkeley, asking him to take charge of contacting Margaret Thatcher.

'I'm sure that in a few days, the enemy will be celebrating,'

Huo Jianing couldn't help but laugh, 'Unfortunately, they won't know that this is a favour from you, the family head.'

'Haha...' Xia Yu couldn't help but let out a light laugh.
