Rebirth of England.

Chapter 963 Facing Threats

“In one day, just one day, we went from being profitable to losing over $50 billion!”

"It's useless to complain now. We should think about how to reduce losses. You know, we can wait until the stock market opens next year... Even without waiting until tomorrow, the current European stock market is already giving us a headache."

Manhattan, New York.

In this global financial center, the heads of the three leading Jewish financial groups, including Vanguard Group, BlackRock Group and State Street Corporation, are gathering together for discussions.

Hearing the conversation between Joseph Hooley, chairman and CEO of State Street Corporation, and Larry Fink of BlackRock, F. William McKenna III, chairman of Vanguard Group, was slightly silent.

Larry Fink glanced at him, then said to the slightly impatient Joseph Hooley:

"We have more capital. As long as we exert all our strength, we will be able to bring down their stock price..."

"So what should we do? Tell our investors that we need to sell other assets to short that damn British company? Or send someone to kill him directly? You know, we have received a warning. If he doesn't stop, then..."

Joseph Hooley shrugged:

"Who knows if we will be his next target?"

This large-scale short selling of listed companies controlled by DS Group was undoubtedly initiated by three companies including Vanguard, BlackRock and State Street.

However, faced with the sudden surge in stock prices of related companies, they have already suffered huge losses on their books. Among the three, the most anxious is Joseph Hooley, chairman of State Street Corporation.

You know, at the end of last year, due to poor performance and the fact that State Street Bank's stock price had fallen to less than a quarter of its price before the financial crisis, it has not had any impressive performance. Four shareholders even jointly proposed to remove Joseph Hooley.

Although this time the "forced abdication" was resolved by Joseph Huli, he could imagine what fate would await him if they submitted another financial report with serious losses this year.

The reason why State Street Corporation joined in this time was that Joseph Hooley also wanted to cooperate with Vanguard and BlackRock and make some money by riding on their coattails.

Moreover, the strong rise of DS Group and Standard Chartered-Merrill Lynch has indeed diluted State Street's profits in many areas, and Joseph Hooley would be happy to see them crushed.

But who could have thought that this would be the result...

"Perhaps we should send someone to talk to the Duke. What does he want? At least let us leave safely!"

Hearing Joseph Huley's words, Larry Fink frowned slightly and looked at McKenna III of the Navigation Group again.

Noticing the gazes of the two, McKenna III fiercely extinguished the cigar in his hand into the ashtray and said coldly:

"What do you want? Do you want me to apologize to that guy and ask for his forgiveness?"

"But things have to be resolved. You were the one who initiated this matter in the first place, so now that it has come to this, we need to consider how to end it."

Larry Fink's words were like a powder keg for McKenna III:

"F**K! Are you ready to throw all the problems to me now? Yes, I proposed this plan, but you all agreed to join and used your power to promote it. Now no one can stay out of it..."

As McKenna III spoke, he became more and more excited. He stood up, pointed out the window and said:

"I am the one who is under the greatest threat and pressure now. Do you understand? Right there, where we can see, the body of the arms dealer is thrown there like garbage. Do you understand what this means?"

Larry Fink and Joseph Hooley both fell silent during McKenna III's rant.

It's not just McKenna III. In the bloody hours before, Larry Fink and Joseph Huley both hired the best security company and added bodyguards to protect their safety.

It is said that the head of the FBI's criminal investigation bureau, poor Quincy Dean, is still alive and under the protection of the FBI, but he has collapsed emotionally and even beat up the FBI police officers who were protecting him, because he mistakenly believed that the police officers were sent to assassinate him...

As for their short selling of listed companies controlled by DS Group, their losses have exceeded 50 billion US dollars... In fact, the loss figure may be rising every minute...

After all, the markets where those companies are listed include Europe and North America, which means that even in their sleep, they still have to face the situation of rising losses - in this situation, how can they have a peaceful sleep? The predicament that Daisy of DS Group faced was returned to them double.

It can be said that apart from Larry Fink's slightly more stable position as the founder of BlackRock Group, if the losses this time are huge, McKenna III and Joseph Hooley will probably have to consider the anger of the board shareholders and the consequences of being dismissed.

If that time really comes, without the high security costs covered by the company's funds, the two of them will probably have to face the fear of "accidental death" at all times.

"Perhaps we should talk to the Duke first..."

When Larry Fink raised the idea again, neither McKenna III nor Joseph Huley objected.

……

"This is the result of our investigation into all company executives, Your Highness."

After taking the document from Nigel Inkster, Barron did not rush to open it. Instead, he put it on the table and said to his intelligence consultant:

"Just tell me briefly, Nigel."

"Fortunately, the CEOs have maintained their stance, but the situation is still not so optimistic. Almost all companies have people who have contacted them, especially the senior executives of O2 Telecom and part of the American branch of Standard Chartered Merrill Lynch..."

"This is better than I expected, isn't it?"

“All I can say is that they are all smart people who made a wise choice.”

"Okay, let's deal with it according to this list..."

Noticing Nigel's expression, Barron asked:

"Why, is there anything else you want to say?"

"Two things. The first is the attitude of the Conservative Party towards this incident. Although we need to strengthen Ms. Jo Harriman's position within the Conservative government, we have to admit that she is still too young. If she is promoted further, it will probably cause a big backlash..."

Barron understood what Nigel meant. In this incident, the attitudes of some people within the Conservative Party were also very subtle.

For example, Theresa May. In the original time and space, after Cameron resigned, she became the leader of the Conservative Party and Prime Minister of England as his successor.

It can be said that as Home Secretary, Theresa is now ranked at the top in the Conservative government.

The main reason why she "knocked on" MI6 Director Alex Younger after the incident was that she felt Joe Harriman posed a threat to her position.
