Chapter 420

(Audacity to ask everyone for tickets~(￣▽￣))

"Boss, as you guessed, Mr. Schuyler should have been taken away by this group of gangsters, but I don't know the exact location where he is being held. Should I scratch my tongue and ask?"

Yang Cheng slept until the evening, and when he got up, he was in a cold sweat, which showed that he didn't sleep well in the afternoon.

Putting on her nightgown and walking out of the bedroom, Susu was giggling while watching James Gordon’s interview show on TV. She didn’t even notice that Yang Cheng came out, so she smiled and didn’t disturb her. She took a bottle of ice water from the refrigerator next to her and went back to the bedroom. Bedroom, at this moment, Hansen called to report what he found.

"No, you can't scare the snake away, tell me what specific findings you have?" Yang Cheng decisively rejected Hansen's proposal, at least until he clarified Skyler's situation, he could not act rashly. To be honest, compared to Skyler's Life, he cares more about that painting.

Hansen seems to have returned to a safe place, and he did not control his voice, and the quality of the call has improved a lot, "After I took my brother into the small building under the cover of night, I found two large rooms similar to the office and the bedroom. He hid in the room, luckily, not long after, a figure like a boss entered the office with a few subordinates, at first they were discussing the problem of drug transportation, and then chatted about the kidnapped from Western Europe. Girl, just when I thought I was going to get nothing, one of my subordinates suddenly asked Skyler a question."

Yang Cheng listened carefully, and none of the previous words fluctuated his expression. It was not until Hansen mentioned Skyler that he finally reacted, "Are you sure they mentioned Skyler?"

Asking this question is not because he doesn't believe Hansen, but to make himself more sure, because he feels that things are going too well. Generally, when he feels this way, it means that something big will happen later.

Hansen did not doubt him, and confirmed decisively, "Yes, although they only mentioned it once before and after, I am very sure, and I have not participated in the battle before, and my head and ears are very clear."

Yang Cheng touched his chin and pondered, "So, what did they say about Skyler?"

It's a pity that Hansen didn't provide the best answer this time, "No, they talked very cautiously, and they raised their mouths tightly. Of course, it may be that I didn't understand. They spoke English A language mixed with Albanian, English is okay, but I don’t understand Albanian at all.”

Yang Cheng comforted, "It's okay, you have done a good job, at least we know that Skyler is indeed in the hands of this group of people."

Hansen hesitated for a moment before expressing his opinion, "Boss, I don't think Mr. Schuyler's place of detention will be too far from his residence. It is very likely that he is on Roosevelt Island or has not left New York."

"Oh? Why?"

"The time is too short. After learning about the situation from the boss, I called Andrew. Judging from what he told me about the scene, the other party should have just left. Before that, the boss had sent someone to Keeping an eye on the only way out of New York, they have no chance of flying high, so I dare to speculate."

Hansen's words seem to have brought Yang Cheng to a conclusion. He just felt that Skyler might not have left New York, but there was no basis for it. Now Hansen's speculation is based on his rich battlefield experience. Yang Cheng naturally wouldn't doubt it.

"That's great, and Andrew and the others have already started to check the video footage near Skyler's house, and I think it won't be long before there will be good news."

Next, Yang Cheng told Hansen to concentrate on the task of rescuing Zachary's family, leaving the rest to Andrew, and hung up the phone.

There are less than 24 hours left before the scheduled delivery time. In fact, excluding the flight time of the last flight that can arrive at the scheduled time, there are actually less than 14 hours left. It is imminent. I hope Andrew There will be good news from there.

However, things don't depend on Yang Cheng's will.

Just when he was restless, a phone call from William made him worse.

"Jason, things have changed. I'm afraid our calculations will come to nothing." William said dejectedly.

Yang Cheng suppressed the anger in his heart and asked, "What do you mean? Alex Beard will not sell?"

William first denied, "No."

Then he ambiguously overturned his statement, "I can't say it's not, but it's about the same."

Yang Cheng was confused, "William, I'm in a mess right now, you'd better speak up."

"Well well, here's the thing, didn't I go to a cocktail party after we parted that night? However, at the party I met not only Alex Beard, but a few of you Unbelievable characters."

Yang Cheng urged impatiently, "Don't be tricky, tell me, who is it? What trouble did it cause us?"

William was not annoyed either, and said with a wry smile, "The CEOs or executive directors of the Blackstone Group, the investment department of Lloyds Bank, and Changjiang Industrial, and the most important one is Ma Shimin, the former chairman of Glencore! "

Yang Cheng knew that William would not be aimless. Since these companies were mentioned, they definitely had nothing to do with Glencore. There must be some kind of connection between them, but why did he find the last name so familiar?

"Ma Shimin? From country Z?"

William was stunned for a moment, "Ah~ no, he is a very pure British, but he has been in Xiangjiang for a long time, and he loves oriental culture deeply, so he gave himself a Z name."

Now it was Yang Cheng's turn to be stunned, staring at her eyes, suddenly slapped her forehead vigorously, and secretly scolded herself for being stupid, no wonder it sounded familiar, it turned out that the managing director of Hutchison Whampoa, also known as the ghost of Hutchison Huangpu Isn't it called Ma Shimin? He didn't think it was a coincidence, it was obvious that they were the same person.

"I'll wipe!" Yang Cheng swears in his heart, what's going on? One of the largest investment groups in the United Kingdom and the United States, plus the largest comprehensive investment group in the Xiangjiang area, these three companies suddenly got mixed up, obviously trying to make trouble.

After thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure it out, so he simply asked, "William, why don't you just tell me, what earth-shattering event are they planning to do? Don't worry, I'm sitting on the **** right now, I won't fall to my death."

Yang Cheng's cold joke amused William, "Well, according to Alex Beard, three international investment groups are planning to jointly acquire Glencore through Ma Shimin, so we don't expect Alex Beard to Beard will sell his stock unless we pay more than three times the purchase price."

Well, don't mention Alex Beard, Yang Cheng is already speechless by the news. If the joint acquisition is successful, it will definitely be included in the top three of the annual large-scale mergers and acquisitions.

Wait, did Zheng Jiaxuan receive this news a long time ago? That's why they entered the venue early, planning to drink some soup during the acquisition? No way? Who the hell is he? How can the news be so well-informed?

It has long been said that Glencore is not a simple multinational company. As mentioned earlier, Glencore is the world’s largest commodity trader headquartered in Switzerland. It participates in the commodity market of zinc, copper, aluminum, cobalt, thermal coal and Grain trading, and Glencore is not only a commodity trader but also a producer and marketer, which has a huge impact on the international commodity market and is known as the "Goldman Sachs" in the commodity trading industry.

Of course, such a general statement may have no practical concept. Let’s put it this way, in 2010, it traded 60% of the world’s zinc metal and 50% of copper. 20. The operating income is close to 200 billion U.S. dollars, and the net profit is hard to judge, but it is conservatively estimated to be more than 1 billion U.S. dollars!

Even more legendary than this company is the founder of Glencore, Mark Ridge, a very controversial Jewish businessman.

Mark Ridge was once a talented and aggressive commodity trader who established the spot market for crude oil.

Mark Ridge is also one of the ten most wanted criminals wanted by the U.S. Department of Justice for 17 years. He has been charged with 325 years of imprisonment, but he can still live a luxurious life in Switzerland and operate his business empire.

Of course, no matter how legendary a character is, he can't withstand the changes of the years, and finally passed away in 2013 at the age of 78.

Well, the end of the legend may not be worth mentioning to most people in the world, because it does not have any impact on the lives of ordinary people, so no one cares about it.

Kejia Nengke Company actually influences the trend of the world economy, determines the allocation of global resources, and subtly affects the daily life of ordinary people.

"According to what you said, it hasn't been a day or two since these giants hooked up?" In order to verify his guess, he asked.

William thought for a while, "I don't know, but it looks like it is. The several responsible persons are not surprised that each other appeared at the same cocktail party, more like an appointment."

"But why did Glencore agree to sell it? No matter how influential Ma Shimin is, he is the former chairman. It seems that he can't make such a major decision for Glencore, right? Could it be that Glencore is in a life-and-death crisis?" Yang Cheng muttered suspiciously.

After listening for a while, William said suddenly, "Should we check it out? I think this is a good opportunity to make money."

Since getting acquainted with Yang Cheng, William has gradually become 'shameless', and like Yang Cheng, he is obsessed with money, and his sense of money has become more acute.

But such William, Yang Cheng said very well, "Of course we need to investigate! If it is true, then we will not be able to make a fortune in the stock market. As for whether we can get a bigger bargain, we have to work hard." luck."

After a pause, he continued, "Before that, we have to figure out one thing, that is why these three companies acquired Glencore. I don't believe it is for making money. No matter which one of the three companies is singled out, they will earn a year's worth of money." They get several times more money than Glencore, and we need to find out whether there is any ZZ purpose behind them before we can decide whether to participate.”
