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

After listening to 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 the Ho Hugh Aerospace Group, if you want to worry, the Americans are worried first." ”

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

"What are you worried about, the Good Mood Foundation wants to catch up with us very early. Moreover, they are not enemies with us, and the goals of our two families will be basically the same for a long time to come. The old man smiled, "As far as I know, in Europe, at least fifty percent of the funds in the accounts of those people in the Golden Yao Department are invested in long-term stocks, that is to say, they only use fifty percent of the funds, and these stocks have some duplicates, why is this?"

"The local market is too small to use more money. Ron thought for a moment and said, "I see, the Good Mood Foundation is also waiting for the unification of the European market." ”

"Do you know why Lady Miko sent me an invitation to help, instead of waiting for me to come to the door first and take the initiative to help?" the old man smiled, "It's a friendly signal, it's to say, 'You send someone to check,' and I sent you to say, 'Thank you, I'll keep it a secret.'" ”

"I see. Ron thought for a moment and said, "This is Lady Miyamoto Miko knowing that we are collecting information about the Good Mood Foundation in the periphery, and simply telling us through this method, is that so, father?"

"Yes, in order to avoid further friction between the two of us in the future. The old man said.

"Later?" Ron asked.

"In the future," the old man asked, "is it true that people with salty tastes will basically suffer from cardiovascular disease?"

"This. Ron thought for a moment and said, "Yes." Then he asked, "But, father, is Miyamoto Miyako really thinking so, how can we be sure?"

"You don't have to be sure what she thinks, you don't have to be sure how she did it, it's the result that matters. The old man said, "I played a game of chess with Mr. Yusaku Kudo, and I won very hard, and I didn't see whether he was letting me or not. But what does it matter, there are winners and losers in chess, as long as I am the one who wins. ”

After thinking about it, Ron asked again, "From now on, Lady Miko is telling us that her goals are the same as ours, and that she needs a bigger market." But why? Why didn't you just say it in the first place?"

"What is said may be false, and what is seen may also be false, and only after detailed investigation and analysis can we know whether it is true or not. The old man said, "Through your investigation, I know that the scale of the Jinyao Ministry's funds has been maintained at the amount of 500 billion US dollars for several years, and this is a fact that there is no way to change, and this is the obvious evidence. ”

"I see. Ron nodded and said, 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. Barthes Bank can be said to be the steward of the European aristocracy, and most of the money in it comes from the European aristocracy, and even the old lady has invested part of her private money in it. And the old lady will only put the money in the British bank, how can she let the Dutch bank take charge of her private money, which means that the old lady no longer trusts the Bart family and takes the money out of the Bart bank. Although the old lady is the monarch of dozens of countries, it can only be regarded as a kind of real estate, and she also needs working capital, and she also needs money. ”

"Do you suspect that the old lady withdrew the money and handed it over to the Good Mood Foundation?" asked the old man with a smile.

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

"No, it's just a coincidence. The old man smiled, "With the strength of the Military Intelligence Bureau, I should have known about the Good Mood Consortium for a long time, and I will pay it early, and I won't wait until now." ”

Ron asked, "Is it Miss Ferdinand, then, what did she say during her stay in the Bart family, for example, that she would annex the Cheferon oil company in the future, and it reached the ears of the old lady and aroused her investment interest?"

"Not really. The old man smiled, and then asked, "Do you know the London Dock Construction Company?"

"Know, the subsidiary of the Pacific Maritime Group in London, England. Ron thought for a moment and said, " The London Ministry of the Environment set up the London Docklands Redevelopment Company in 81 to develop London Docks, and later, in the early 90s, London entered a real estate depression, and the Pacific Maritime Group acquired a large number of properties in the London Docklands, and in 92, the most active development of things, a Canadian development company with the tallest building in London, Canada Square, went bankrupt, and the Pacific Maritime Group bought Canada Place, renamed Ocean Building, and then invested a billion pounds to set up an independent subsidiary to replace the position of the Canadian development company。 By the way, this company, called the London Dock Construction Company, was approved for listing at the end of the ninety-five......

"Quite possibly, I just don't know how long she's been holding the shares. The old man laughed, "I remember that in February this year, a half-ton bomb planted by the Provisional Irish Republican Army was found in the docklands of London, and its stock plummeted, and I wonder if the old lady lost money." Then he looked at the time, and at half-past eight, he said, "Tell me about the Pacific Maritime Group." ”

"Its predecessor was called Musashi Shipping Company, and it was registered in the fifties of this century, and there was a large shipyard in the late seventies. A medium-sized shipyard and three small shipyards are mainly engaged in leasing and selling boats, fishing, and shipping by sea in Japan, with Tokyo Bay as the center, Ise Bay in the west, and Mutsu Bay in the north. In the early eighties, a food processing plant was added, which lasted until eighty-seven years, and after taking over Moby 1 and Moby 2, Musashi Shipping became the British-registered Pacific Marine Affairs Group, forming two independent subsidiaries, one for fishing and food, and one for ship construction and freight, excluding Moore Shipyard. Pacific Marine Affairs Group is mainly engaged in marine disaster rescue insurance. With the Moore Shipyard as its manufacturing and maintenance center, it set up two rescue teams, each of which included a Moby Dick, a 200-meter-long self-made ship with a speed of 30 knots, two British-made civilian Sea King helicopters and satellite systems on each ship. ”

"They planted a lawn on the deck of the homemade boat, and they exercised on it when they had nothing to do. Ron laughed, "To me, these two rescue teams scurrying around the Pacific Ocean are a lot like violent organizations that collect protection money. Because this insurance is paid once a year, for one year at a time, it is similar to the annual fee charged by violent organizations. ”

"That's a lot of fun. The old man laughed.

"Pacific Maritime Group currently has three subsidiaries, but all of them are already listed. "Based on what we know about the Good Mood consortium, a public company is a disconnection." So at present, the industries that really belong to the Pacific Maritime Group are, two rescue teams, the Moore Shipyard in Russia, which is not open to the public, the Marine Building in the British docklands, and the shipwreck rescue insurance company registered there and the actual office is on the rescue ship. ”

The old man looked at the time, it was more than 8:40 in the evening, and said, "You go back and change your clothes, since they don't come, we can celebrate the New Year ourselves." ”

Ron said, "Father, maybe the plane is late." ”

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

Ron said, "Maybe ......"

The old man stretched out his hand to stop him: "I know that they are protesting against my order to continue to shrink and hibern, disappointing them who have long been looking forward to enjoying the scenery, but now that I am the head of the house, I have the final say on these matters." ”

Ron said, "Please don't be angry, father, it's not good for you. ”

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

Ron said, "Yes, father. With that, he put down the papers, bowed, and went out. ……
