Chapter 965 Satisfactory Punishment
Speaking of which, in the United States’ global strategy, it controls strategic fulcrums in major regions.
For example, Japan and South Korea in Asia, England in Europe, and Israel in the Middle East.
Then the question is, except for Japan and South Korea, which exist as colonies, the other two countries have a complicated "conjugated father-son" relationship with the United States...
If Britain and Israel appear Irreconcilable contradictions, then whose side will the United States stand on...
One is the biological father and the other is the wild father. Of course, there is no doubt that the United States will side with Israel. Faced with such a situation, what else can the British do except complain about being "unworthy"?
What's more, even though Barron has great influence in England, he still cannot represent England. At least for the moment, he cannot exist as the "uncrowned king" of England.
So if the conflict between him and Israel escalates, apart from the fact that his own strength is currently unable to compete with Israel, the United States will of course take action to prevent their wild affairs in the Middle East...well, it is a strategic fulcrum from being hit. .
This is what Nigel said to Barron. They need to respond to Mossad's involvement in Barron's assassination, but they also need to control the scale of the response.
In addition to supporting some weapons to Hamas to attack Israel, Barron has also expanded the "adoption" of Palestinian orphans and will train Palestinian orphans at the Munger base. A batch of capable people with sufficient quality.
...
"It's great that you're okay..."
"There were some minor troubles, but they're all over now, baby."
After getting After his release, Ivanta stabilized IC Capital's situation and immediately flew to London.
For the sake of safety, she deliberately flew first class on civil aviation this time.
In this incident, Ivanta rejected the other party's choice to cooperate and threaten. It can be said that he passed Barron's test and temporarily dispelled his doubts due to Ivanta's "backstabbing" Jianguo in his previous life.
Of course, it is reasonable to think so. After all, in her previous life, Ivanta chose the interests of herself and her husband's "small family". Now, although Barron and her have no status, they It can be considered a "small family".
And she is also a smart woman. She understands that although she manages IC Capital, most of the time, it is because of Barron's backing that she is able to achieve her current achievements.
Otherwise, based on ability alone, is she stronger than her father?
Think about how much assets the entire TP family has now, and how much assets she manages IC Capital, and the reasons are clear.
A person can be smart, stupid, or ordinary, but as long as he can understand the boundaries of his abilities, it is not difficult to at least have a good death.
In addition to Ivanta's arrival, John Bogle also came to London shortly after her.
"It's not easy for me to come to see you, Your Highness, after all, traveling such a long distance is no longer easy for me."
John Bogle compared to Barron When I first met him, he looked even older. After all, he was 84 years old.
He sat in the seat where Avril Haynes had sat before and said to Barron: "I have not cared about the Navigation Group for a long time, but now in this regrettable situation, they are again Invite me out..."
When John Bogle appeared, Barron already understood the purpose of his coming here.
After all, in the past few days, they did not give the Jewish capital a chance to withdraw in time. In other words, when the other party hesitated, the opportunity had already passed by.
When the opponent's attack was the most violent, the share prices of listed companies controlled by DS Group, including United Energy Group, O2 Telecom, Woaw Technology and other companies, once fell between 20-25%. This has already enough to cause panic in the market.
However, as DS Group obtained funds and began a large-scale counterattack, various companies announced that major shareholders would invest in increasing their stakes to stabilize confidence, and Barron's spokesperson stated that all companies are operating well. And after earnings increased in the third quarter of this year, the stock prices of these companies began to rebound strongly from the bottom, not only recovering lost ground, but even rising retaliatory compared to before.
This situation makes short-selling capital, including Vanguard Group and BlackRock Group, very uncomfortable. Conservative estimates suggest that their losses from short-selling this time will exceed US$15 billion!
You must know that Societe Generale's loss of nearly 5 billion euros almost caused the bank to close down. Now if the losses cannot be reduced as soon as possible, even for companies such as Vanguard and BlackRock, it will not be a serious problem. It will shake their bones, but it will also cause them to lose money on a larger scale - which will cause them to lose the trust of quite a few investors and choose to withdraw their capital.
“Fortunately, you can still see me, Mr. Bogle. This is God’s favor to me.”
“This is a very irrational and cannot be ignored. Forgive the mistake, Your Highness the Duke, this also goes against my original intention of founding the Pilot Group..."
No matter what John Bogle's true thoughts are, at least at this moment, he still showed anger and sadness. Emotional.
He sincerely said to Barron:
“The board of directors will remove William from his position as chairman and CEO, and fire all personnel involved in this matter in the company, and will suspend all supervision of all companies that have anything to do with you. Malicious short selling..."
When John Bogle said this, Barron did not reply immediately, but still looked at him with a smile, waiting for his next words.
“Of course, in order to avoid market turmoil, I hope you will temporarily stop operations here so that we can successfully close the position.”
The other party’s loss in this short-selling operation is already certain. Yes, the only uncertainty is how much the loss will be.
John Bogle's meaning is very clear, that is, he hopes to reduce their losses.
“I’m just curious. If I am not favored by God this time, will you give the DS Group a chance to retreat safely?”
Hearing Barron’s words, John Bogle touched his nose, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and after a moment of silence, he said:
“It’s meaningless to say this now. , I can only tell you that if I were still in control of Linghang Group, this matter would not have happened, and we would still be close partners. But now that it has happened, all we need to do is try our best to repair it. Those involved The person who did this..."
He looked at Barron and deepened his tone slightly:
"You will be punished to your satisfaction, but if you really continue to fight like this, in order to avoid expanding losses, these companies, including the Pilot Group, can only do their best. You must know that the scale of assets controlled by these companies exceeds 20 Trillions of dollars... This is not a threat, Barron, just stating a fact. Neither investors nor the board of directors will allow the losses to be too great in this action..."
"You understand What is the punishment that satisfies me, Mr. Bogle? In addition, I can temporarily stop the buying operations of DS Group from that time on, but there is one condition."
"You said"<. br>
"Vanguard Group and BlackRock Group will withdraw all the shares currently held by these companies. At the price you close your positions, I will arrange for other companies to take over."
