Sinclade's acquisition is hopeless. If even Northwest Mining can't get it now, then this year will definitely be his most failed year, and Kevin will never allow such a situation to happen.

Even if he can't beat Sinclair, he can beat the current Northwest Mining, although it feels like he has not won the full score, but it can be considered a great achievement for BHP.

Although the big players in the resource industry like BHP Billiton are nominally a company, their scale, in the resource industry, is definitely an aircraft carrier. It is equivalent to the position of Mobil, which was not split in the oil industry in the 1930s, was a monopoly enterprise.

Although they have not been named an industry giant, they have unquestionable pricing power in many commodity trading markets in this industry.

Why can they price a commodity? It's just that they have mines all over the world.

After World War II, the Rosschald family learned the essence. The withdrawal from the United States was a huge failed decision for them. They withdrew from the United States, which helped Morgan and Rockefeller, as well as some other American consortiums.

Rockefeller's successful model made them realize the importance of monopoly on the resource industry to a family.

So they also began to extend their hands to the oil resources field, but at that time, the world leaders in the oil resources field were Rockefeller of the United States and Shell of Europe. They could only obtain a certain amount of equity in the British BP, but they could not achieve absolute control.

This made them very unhappy. So they began to take action quietly. In order to get more oil resources, they were even willing to cooperate with the Russians who had always disliked him. At that time, the Baku oil field in the former Soviet Union was always in their hands.

But the good times didn't last long. The appearance of Hitler's madman completely ruined their dream of controlling the Baku oil field.

After World War II, they were out of some shares of BP, and they were simply driven out of the oil resources industry.

However, they quickly adjusted their business strategies. Since oil resources cannot be played, there are many other resources in the world to play.

For example, iron ore, uranium, bracelet, deuterium, etc., and many rare metals, with the scientific explosion era after World War II, humans quickly entered the electronics era.

The originally inconspicuous rare metals were quickly applied by scientists to the processing of electronic components, and monopolize these mineral resources. They can also bring them huge benefits every year.

And after working in this industry for a long time, they know that some mineral resources were not very rich in reserves on the earth, or they were difficult to mine and costly.

Use a little more, so as long as you master these mineral resources, you don’t have to worry about the price.

After the Middle East became independent in the 1970s and took back their oil exploitation rights, Rosschald's personnel suddenly discovered it.

It turns out that controlling the business of these precious metal raw materials is actually no worse than controlling the price of oil. After all, the Middle East oil exporters have formed an OPEC that can control the annual oil production and price.

Shell and Rockefellers, who originally monopolized this industry, have no longer spoken well in this field, but not many people pay attention to the non-ferrous precious metals field they control. After decades of operation, they can become the dominant one.

He controlled the absolute right to speak in this field, and it was precisely through the business of these non-ferrous metals that their family quickly recovered their vitality from the damage after World War II.

So after that, they attached more importance to pricing power in this field. To put it bluntly, the control of various high-reserve minerals. The tireless pursuit of various minerals over the years has even made them already have an obsession with these minerals.

So if you can take over Northwest Mining at this time, no matter how much the price is, it will not be a failure.

Although Kevin doesn't think so.

"How many chips do we have in our hands?"

Kevin asked, and Jack, who was standing behind him, immediately gave a data as the main trader.

"Two hours before the closing of the market this afternoon, we had already poured 8% of them. Now we should still have more than 10% of their shares in our hands."

"Okay, I will continue to smash their shares as soon as the market opens tomorrow, smash their shares and then recover them at a low price. Within three days, I will have to control as much of their shares as possible. The final bottom line is 25%. Only with 25% of the shares can we go to Canada to negotiate with them."

Kevin said expressionlessly. Although he was already hating the company to death, he still had to do some things.

While he was gritting his teeth with hatred, Heidi had just finished the phone call with Li Yifan and informed him of the good news of the successful plan.

Although BHP Billiton announced that although it suppressed the stock price of Northwest Mining, from another aspect, their cash flow can no longer be sustained, otherwise they would not have used such off-market tricks.

And they can do the rest. Northwest Mining was originally defined by them as Heidi's continuous blood loss wound, but now it has become a weapon to constantly suck their blood. In the next period of time, no matter how they tossed, as long as Heidi showed her absolute controlling 55% of the shares in her hands, she would be invincible.

Another happy event is about the acquisition of Sinclair.

Heidi has not only done Bogard's job in the past few days, but also many Canadian MPs have accepted her gifts or money.

The politicians in the Quebec region are closely related to her family.

For outsiders, the Quebec region has always been a very unfamiliar area. Even the Canadian media rarely report this area because the relationship between this area is very sensitive.

Most of the residents of this area are descendants of the French, and they have always had an inexplicable sense of belonging to their hometown in Europe.

Even now, they often shout slogans of independence.

Americans don't want them to be independent, British people don't want them, let alone Canadians.

Therefore, European and American media that control the discourse power of mainstream media in the world are usually more concerned about the relationship between Baodao and the mainland. As for the relationship between Quebec and Canada, they are ignored by them.

They can even write a lot of referendums for the people of some part of Ukraine, but they treat all referendums for the people of Quebec as jokes and turn a blind eye.

Even when the turmoil was at its most powerful moment, a Canadian Prime Minister threatened to use force against the people in the region...

So it can be said that some people in the Quebec region have always been thorns in the eyes of British leaders in Canada, and thorns in the flesh, but they are also a group of people that must not be ignored.

They have a fair relationship with the people of other parts of the country, and sometimes even in opposition, while Heidi has a very good relationship with their leaders because of her special identity.

It is precisely because of this special relationship that many people in Congress attach great importance to Heidi. After all, her role is equivalent to a very good intermediary, a harmonic agent.

There are many things that they are not convenient for people there to say, but Heidi can help them pass the message.

This made a businessman like Heidi suddenly have a very important position and role in Canadian politics, and is the object of currying favor among many people.

Some people want to get her financial support, while others want to realize their political ambitions through her. After all, the political energy she represents is quite extraordinary.

It is precisely because of this background that Heidi's Haiyuan Company was unblocked and unhindered when acquiring Sinclade Company.

Everyone knows the value of Sinclair, but is it wise to offend Heidi for such a company?

The answer is obviously no. Anyway, it is state-owned assets, so who are you selling them to?

Moreover, the price others offer is not low. If you sell it to her, you can get a benefit, making her owe you a favor. Maybe when and when you need it, she can provide you with unexpected help.

Therefore, after being discussed in Congress, the proposal for Sinclair's acquisition was passed without much effort.

On this issue, the ruling and opposition parties in the Canadian Parliament have reached a tacit understanding because everyone wants to get Heidi's help and does not want to offend her.

So it took only two weeks to pass the vote of Haiyuan Company to acquire Sinclair.

This is a rare efficiency in a century for the often quarrel parliament.

While Heidi handled Sinclade, Kevin and his team finally got 25% of their favorite shares in Northwest Mining on the New York Stock Exchange.

However, the price they paid this time was much higher than what they originally set, and even several times higher.

A total of more than 2 billion US dollars were thrown into it inside and out, and only received 25% of the shares of the other company. This made Kevin feel that he was humiliated, and a sense of frustration has been lingering in his heart these days.

However, this emotion was soon thrown behind him. Business was business, and it was best not to mix personal emotions. This was a very important truth his father taught him back then. Unfortunately, at the beginning of this action, he forgot it behind him.
