Rebirth of England

Barron previously acquired a 10% stake in Pfizer through several funds including IC Capital and DS Group.

Earlier this month, Barron again increased his stake by $12 billion through the British Fortune Era (BFT) Fund and the Global Industrial Investment (GII) Fund, increasing his total stake in Pfizer to 20%.

So far, he has in fact become one of the largest shareholders of this pharmaceutical giant, but on the surface, his holdings are scattered among more than 6 funds or investment companies...

It's not just Pfizer. Barron had already told Daisy that with the Fed's second round of quantitative easing (QE2), it will inevitably stimulate the recovery of the US economy, which is already a little weak.

At the same time, more funds are injected into the market, and the consequence of this "flooding" will also cause the depreciation of the US dollar - of course not just the US dollar, because the Fed's monetary policy not only affects the US dollar, but also other countries.

If the US dollar starts to depreciate, then in order to ensure the economic situation such as exports, other countries will also start similar quantitative easing policies accordingly. As a result, the era of global flooding has arrived, and the currencies of various countries will depreciate accordingly.

Under such circumstances, it is naturally very inappropriate to keep cash in hand, which will only make your wealth passively depreciate.

Barron had already formulated an acquisition plan before this. Not only will the funds held by his various investment companies be invested in the acquisition of high-quality assets, but he will even make loans and add some leverage to make these acquisitions.

So many people, including Robert Kennedy Jr., can see that Barron's investment companies and funds have started acquisitions in the American market - not only the American market, but also the European, Asian and Australian markets are choosing high-quality assets for acquisition, but relatively speaking, the American market capacity is larger and can accommodate more funds.

The United States is also very welcome to this.

After all, the Federal Reserve itself is under pressure from all sides and started a new round of quantitative easing policies because the recovery of the American economy after the crisis has shown a weak trend in the first half of this year.

Due to the impact of the subprime mortgage crisis, some funds chose to flee the American market, including not only some funds from the Middle East, but also many Wall Street funds - shorting the Japanese, Korean and European markets. On the surface, it seems that some funds have been withdrawn from the United States to these places...

Now Barron is willing to invest a considerable part of his funds in the American market, which will naturally make these markets more active, which is also what the United States wants to see.

Of course, it is not just Barron's funds, but also other Wall Street capitals. As the harvest of Japan, Korea and Europe is completed at this stage, funds will also begin to flow back.

With the money released by the Federal Reserve, it is believed that the economic recovery of the American market will be accelerated soon, including the stock market, real estate and other markets, which will usher in a small wave of increases again...

"I hope to get some funds from the public investment fund, Mr. Kennedy."

"At least in Massachusetts, we have tried our best to get a lot of funds for you..."

Indeed, when the scale of Mars Fund was not large at the beginning, some funds came from some mutual funds in Massachusetts and funds from Boston consortiums. These funds were found for Barron through the relationship of the Kennedy family...

"At the same time, I also brought them rich returns, didn't I?"

Barron said lightly:

"But the scale of those funds is still not large. You know, BlackRock Group has obtained more financial support, and our Standard Chartered-Merrill Lynch Group is not inferior to them in fund management..."

"This is not surprising, Barron, BlackRock Group...has obtained the support of some powerful people. Of course, I will also help you get some support, but...I can only say that I will try my best."

…

“The good news is that we have acquired 25% of the shares of Chilean Chemical and Mining Company (SQM) owned by PotashCorp. Together with what we have acquired from other small shareholders, West Africa Mining Group already holds about 30% of SQM's shares, becoming the company's largest single shareholder…”

Andrew Cole, CEO of West Africa Mining Group, told Barron on the phone:

“This allows us to send three directors to the company's board of directors and exert a certain influence on it… but that's all.”

“Can't we continue to increase our holdings in SQM?”

“A senior official from Chile told me privately that we welcome our normal investment, but for the safety of their lithium mining industry, if our holdings reach the ‘danger line’, then they will consider the renewal of SQM Group's lithium mining rights in the Atacama Salt Lake area, and even increase the bidding for lithium mining rights in this area.”

Currently, SQM owns the main lithium mining rights in the Atacama Salt Lake area, which is the area with the richest lithium reserves in the “Lithium Triangle” region of South America.

However, SQM's lithium mining rights here are currently signed until 2030, so if the other party's statement is true, SQM's board of directors will naturally resist West African Mining Group's acquisition of more shares in the company.

"F**K, maybe do some work through other means?"

"What do you mean?"

"Bribing, or even creating chaos... It seems that Chile is not so stable. No matter what, I just want to take control of SQM!"

The conversation between Barron and Andrew Cole was an encrypted satellite phone, so he did not have too many scruples when he spoke.

"Uh... Your Highness, in fact, what you said, the Americans have done here, and even more..."

"Try more, Andrew, I want the result."

In South America, which is already chaotic, Barron actually does not have too many scruples. After all, if necessary, with his power, he can even help the other party complete the coup.

Of course, because this is in the backyard of America, it is definitely impossible to do things too roughly like many countries in Africa.

Lithium mines are very important to Barron's future plans. If he can use legitimate means to obtain control of SQM, he is certainly happy to do so.

But if it is difficult to do so, then Barron does not mind using a more rough method.

Just like what he said to Andrew Cole-Americans have done that before...
