Chapter 287: The Result of a Game of Chess

On December 31st, French time, at around eight o'clock in the evening, in the main study of the first family's large estate outside Paris.

After hearing Ron's words, the old man smiled and said, "You don't have to be so nervous. It doesn't matter if we can't find out. For Huo Huo Aerospace Group, Americans should worry first."

Ron asked strangely: "Father, the Good Mood Consortium is so powerful, aren't you worried?"

"What are you worried about? It's still too early for the Good Mood Consortium to catch up with us. And they are not enemies with us. For a long time from now to the future, the goals of our two families are basically the same." The old man laughed. "As far as I know, in Europe, at least 50% of the funds in the accounts of those people from the Jinyao Department are invested in long-term holding stocks, that is to say, they only use 50% of the funds, and these stocks There are some repetitions, why is that?"

"The local market is too small, and there is no way to use more funds." Ron thought for a while and said, "So that's why the Good Mood Consortium is also waiting for the unification of the European market."

"Do you know why Mrs. Miko sent an invitation to ask me for help instead of waiting for me to come to the door first and take the initiative to help?" The old man smiled, "This is a friendly signal, it means 'you send someone to investigate', I Sent you to say 'thanks, I'll keep it a secret'."

"I see." Ron thought for a while and said, "This is Mrs. Miko Miyamoto knowing that we are collecting information on the Good Mood Foundation outside, so she simply told us in this way, isn't that right, father?"

"That's right, in order to avoid further friction that may occur between us in the future." The old man said.

"After?" Ron asked.

"In the future," the old man asked, "people with a salty taste will basically suffer from cardiovascular disease. Is this inference correct?"

"This." Ron thought for a while and said, "Yes." Then he asked, "But, father, does Mrs. Miko Miyamoto really think so? How can we be sure?"

"You don't need to be sure what she thinks or how she does it. The important thing is the result." The old man said, "I played a game of chess with Mr. Yusaku Kudo, and I won very hard. I didn't see him at all. Are you asking me? But, what does it matter, there are winners and losers in chess, as long as I am the one who wins, it’s fine.”

After thinking for a while, Ron asked again: "From now on, Mrs. Miko is telling us that her goal is the same as ours, and she needs a bigger market. But why? Why didn't you just say it directly at the beginning?"

"What you said may be false, and what you read may be false. Only through detailed investigation and analysis can you know whether it is true." The old man said, "Through your investigation, I know that the fund scale of the Jinyao Department maintains The amount of $500 billion has been there for several years, and this is a fact that cannot be changed, and this is the obvious evidence."

"I understand." Ron nodded and said, and then asked, "Father, after Miss Ferdinand bought the butler team of the Bart family, Bart Bank was merged into the Dutch Intercontinental Group at the end of the year. Bart Bank can be said to be the European The stewards of the nobles, most of the money in it comes from European nobles, and even the old lady invested part of her private money in it. And the old lady only puts the money in the British bank, how can it be possible for the Dutch The bank in charge of her private house money, which means that the old lady no longer trusts the Bart family and took the money out of Bart's bank. Although the old lady is the monarch of dozens of countries, it can only be regarded as A real estate, she also needs liquidity,

It also costs money. "

"Are you suspecting that the old lady withdrew the money and handed it over to the Good Mood Consortium?" the old man asked with a smile.

Ron said: "Yes, that's why the Good Mood Consortium is in a hurry to establish a bank."

"That's not the case, it's just a coincidence." The old man smiled, "With the strength of the Military Intelligence Bureau, you should have known about the Good Mood Foundation, and you have to pay it early, and you won't wait until now."

Ron asked: "So is it because Miss Ferdinand, during her stay in the Bart family, said something, for example, that she will annex the Chefron Oil Company in the future, and it was passed into the ears of the old lady, which aroused her concern. Interested in investing?"

"No." The old man smiled, and then asked, "London Dock Construction Company, do you know?"

"I know, Pacific Maritime Group's subsidiary in London, England." Ron thought for a while and said, "The London Ministry of Environment set up the London Docklands Redevelopment Company in 1981 to develop the London Dock. Later, in the early 1990s, London entered After the real estate depression period, the Pacific Maritime Group acquired a large amount of real estate in the London Docklands. In 1992, it was the most active in development. A Canadian development company that owned Canada Square, the tallest building in London, went bankrupt, and the Pacific Maritime Group bought Canada Square. It changed its name to Ocean Building, and then invested one billion pounds to set up an independent subsidiary to replace the Canadian development company. By the way, this company called London Dock Construction Company was approved to go public at the end of 1995, so explain……"

"It's very possible, but I don't know how long she has held the shares." The old man smiled, "I remember that in February this year, a half-ton bomb planted by the Provisional Irish Republican Army was found in the London Docklands, making Its stock has plummeted once, and I don’t know if the old lady has lost money.” Then he looked at the time, and at 8:30, he said, “Tell me about the situation of the Pacific Maritime Group.”

"Its predecessor was called Musashi Shipping Company. Its registered registration date was in the 1950s. At the end of the 1970s, there were one large shipyard, one medium-sized shipyard and three small shipyards. The main business was leasing Selling ships, fishing, and sea transportation in Japan. The scope is centered on Tokyo Bay, west to Ise Bay, and north to Mutsu Bay. By the way, it has developed a kind of insurance for Japanese ships, named It is called shipwreck rescue insurance, and the main content is based on how much money is paid and how many ships are sent to rescue. It is said that it is selling well in the local area. In the early 1980s, a food processing factory was added, and this situation lasted until 1987. After taking over After the acquisition of Beluga 1 and Beluga 2, Musashi Shipping Company became a Pacific Ocean Affairs Group registered in the United Kingdom, and established two independent subsidiaries, one mainly engaged in fishery and food, and the other mainly engaged in shipbuilding and freight, excluding Moore Shipyard. Pacific Marine Affairs Group is mainly engaged in marine disaster rescue insurance. It uses Moore Shipyard as its manufacturing and overhaul center and has established two rescue teams. Each rescue team includes a Beluga, and one is 200 meters long. The self-made ship has a speed of 30 knots. Each ship has two British-made civilian Sea King helicopters and a satellite system. It borrows a satellite from the Good Mood Foundation and sets its own distress signal. Ships sell insurance."

"They planted grass on the deck of the self-made boat, and they can exercise on it when they have nothing to do." Ron smiled, "In my opinion, these two rescue teams wandering around in the Pacific Ocean are very similar to collecting protection money. Violent organizations. Because this insurance is paid once a year, and it is guaranteed for one year at a time, which is similar to the annual fee charged by violent organizations.”

"This is a very interesting person." The old man laughed.

"The Pacific Maritime Group currently has three subsidiaries, but all of them have been listed." Ron said, "According to our understanding of the Good Mood Consortium, listed companies are tantamount to breaking away from the relationship. So there are currently two industries that truly belong to the Pacific Maritime Group. A rescue team, the Russian Moore Shipyard, which is not open to the public, the Marine Building in the British Docklands, and the marine rescue insurance company registered there, and the actual office is on the rescue ship.”

The old man looked at the time, it was past 8:40 in the evening, and he said, "Go back and change your clothes. Since they don't come, we can celebrate the New Year by ourselves."

Ron said, "Father, maybe the plane is delayed."

"In Europe, apart from the natural environment, who can delay our family's plane." The old man said in a deep voice.

Ron said, "Maybe..."

The old man stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "I know they are protesting my order to continue shrinking and dormant, disappointing them who have been looking forward to enjoying the scenery for a long time, but now I am the head of the family, and I have the final say on these things."

Ron said, "Please don't be angry, Father, it won't be good for you."

"I know, I'm not angry." The old man said, and then said, "Okay, you go back, call your elder brother, I'll be there in a while."

Ron said, "Okay, Father." He put down the documents, saluted and went out. ...
