Chapter 2051: Massive Attack
Chapter 2051: Attack 7
What Shark Dantong did not expect was that the Rothschild family gave him enough face this time; not only did family members personally go to the airport to greet him, but they also arranged everything in advance.
They have been dealing with each other for decades, and they are not very familiar with the Rothschild family; but they also know their nature. Even when buying diamonds, they can't see the core members of the family; they arrange professional managers to deal with it. Maybe it can be said that the mystery is full, but it is more due to the unequal strength; they look down on him.
Although I don't want to admit it, Bao Zixuan will definitely not be treated so coldly!
I didn't expect that the situation will change over time, and even the Rothschild family, as strong as it is, has to bow to reality.
It seems that the British royal family and No. 10 Downing Street have put a lot of pressure on them; but it is very beneficial to the Zheng family. The other party is eager to make a move, so they will definitely not insist on the price; if that is the case, no agreement can be reached; and he may not be the one who suffers in the end.
In addition, before coming here, I did a detailed investigation; the relationship was strained, so many dirty things were exposed before. Once ordinary people know the truth, they will definitely not give up; they will definitely take to the streets to protest against the Rothschild family.
If a chain reaction really breaks out, it will not be so easy to leave at that time!
The representative of the Rothschild family smiled and said: "Mr. Zheng, Mr. Bao; hello!"
"I am Andrew Rothschild, and I am here to greet you on the orders of the patriarch; please forgive me for any inadequate hospitality!"
The other party spoke fluent vernacular, which shows how attentive he was.
As a member of the Rothschild family, there is no such thing as lying flat; of course, for some who are not pursuing, there may be similar ideas.
Andrew Rothschild will be mainly responsible for Asian affairs in the future. He can not only speak vernacular, but also communicate normally in Mandarin, Japanese, and Korean!
If you don't understand language and culture, how can you manage a company well? It is not a hard indicator, but it has become an industry standard!
It's not that Shark Dantong has never dealt with members of the Rothschild family. Before, they all spoke with a true London accent. Besides English, they could only speak Hebrew. As for the others, sorry, you are not worthy.
I didn't expect the receptionist arranged today to speak so fluently in Cantonese. My mood was immediately much better!
Although they were buyers before, the Rothschild family had an absolute monopoly in the diamond industry, and they basically begged them to buy. If they were unhappy, they would directly reduce the quota of high-end products, and then the sales would be greatly reduced.
Therefore, no matter what harsh requirements were put forward, jewelers would choose to compromise; the Zheng family was the same.
Shark Dantong thought about putting pressure on the other party together with the charter king. The Rothschild family was eager to sell some enterprises. If they huddled together for warmth, the other party would definitely not dare to make too high an offer.
After a few pleasantries, they drove to a manor of the Rothschild family located on the outskirts of London.
In order to show enough attention, the old Rothschild was already waiting for them there. The two of them had definitely seen big scenes, but they still felt incredible when they heard that the Rothschild family patriarch personally received them.
The Zheng family in Hong Kong might have some status, and the charter king was at most a little famous in the world; compared with the real top wealthy families, they were really not a little bit behind. After all, they have been developing for hundreds or even thousands of years; many families can't catch up with their foundation alone.
The Rothschild family is even known as the world's number one family, and no one knows how strong it is.
The patriarch personally received them, but it was a treatment that even the heads of small countries did not have; it was not that he looked down on his family, but that he thought that the strength was really not that high.
Things became more and more weird, but this was definitely not a bad thing for the two of them!
The convoy soon arrived at the manor, and under the guidance of the butler, Shark Dantong and the charter king met old Rothschild.
Although they had cooperated for many years, it was the first time for Shark Dantong to see the real person; fortunately, he was also a master who had eaten and seen it, so he didn't lose his composure.
The old Rothschild family said with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Zheng!"
"We have cooperated for decades, but this is the first time we meet. It's really not right."
"It is one of the most correct choices for the Rothschild family to hand over Hong Kong and the surrounding markets to you!"
"As for Mr. Bao, on the surface, there seems to be no relationship between us, but you are a big customer of the family. The largest shareholder of Portsmouth Shipyard is the Rothschild family."
Directly telling Shark Dantong that the two families have cooperated for decades fully demonstrates the equal relationship; they did not use fame and power to suppress others. Of course, the Rothschild family is currently in a precarious situation and dare not do too much.
As a world-class shipping king, Pao Yue-kong, coupled with the special relationship between Britain and Hong Kong, many ships are ordered in the UK.
I didn't expect that the largest shareholder of Portsmouth Shipyard is also the Rothschild family. How many secrets are hidden? It's really hard to imagine.
I can only say that their trump cards are far more than imagined!
Shark Dantong said with a smile: "I didn't expect to meet you today. It's such an honor!"
Talking too much will make you more likely to make mistakes and make people look down on you!
Besides, the charter king is still there, so you have to give him a chance to speak. It's said that he has full authority, but when it comes to legendary figures; you really can't just ignore him, and the right to speak also depends on whether your strength allows it!
The Charter King smiled and said: "I didn't expect that we still have this kind of relationship. I really didn't know if you didn't tell me."
Since the other party wants to remain mysterious, some words cannot be said too directly; offending others through words is simply stupid!
Old Rothschild didn't want to come over, but Bao Zixuan gave him the task; it was hard to refuse. Most of the other members of the family have already evacuated; they can only bite the bullet and play in person.
Time was limited; besides, he didn't have much free time to chat with the two of them, so he quickly got down to business after sitting down.
Old Rothschild said slightly seriously: "I know a little bit about what your intentions are when you come."
"Don't be afraid of your jokes. The Rothschild family is being suppressed by the British. Evacuation is only a matter of time. It is currently selling off some of its assets. I believe you two will be interested!"
There is no sloppiness at all. If you are an ordinary person, you may be caught off guard.
Fortunately, before coming here, Shardantong had already done a detailed investigation and reacted instantly.
Zheng Yutong said very seriously: "I don't know if the Rothschild family is willing to give up those companies."
The information they currently have is very one-sided; the charter king has been involved in the world's shipping industry for many years, and he doesn't even know that Portsmouth Shipyard is also related to the Rothschild family, and there is no need to say more about the rest!
Old Rothschild made a gesture, and the person below immediately understood what it meant; he handed the two documents directly to the other party.
After seeing it, not only the sharks were daring, but even the charter boat king was in disbelief!
Barings Bank was founded in 1763 by Sir Francis Barings. Due to its flexible and innovative operations, Barings Bank soon achieved great success in the international financial field. Its business scope is also quite wide. Whether it is refining copper ore in the Congo, trafficking wool from Australia, or digging the Panama Canal, Bahrain Bank can provide loans for it.
Bahrain Bank is different from ordinary commercial banks in that it does not develop deposit business for ordinary customers, so its funding sources are relatively limited and it can only rely on its own strength to survive and develop. In 1803, when the newly born United States purchased the southern state of Louisiana from France, the funds used came from Barings Bank. In 1886, Barings Bank issued "Guinness" securities. Buyers poured into the bank with application forms in hand, and later had to use police force to maintain it. Many people queued for several hours, bought a small amount of stocks, and then waited for opportunities to sell. out. By the time it was sold the next day, the stock price had doubled.
At the beginning of the 20th century, Barings was honored to acquire a special client: the British royal family. Due to the outstanding contributions of Barings Bank, the Barings family has received five hereditary titles. This was a world record, and laid the foundation for Barings' prominence.
It is definitely the dream enterprise of many bankers. It seems that the Rothschild family is really forced to have no choice; they are even willing to sell a high-quality property like Barings Bank.
Then I thought something was wrong, Bao Zixuan was not blind; could there be other unknown secrets here?
Shark Tong is indeed very courageous, but at the same time his mind is extremely delicate; otherwise the Zheng family would not be able to reach its current heights. So he tentatively asked: "Why did you choose our two families? Bao Zixuan cannot turn a blind eye; we must know that the cooperation between you must be closer!"
This question is quite normal. After all, it is impossible for Bao Zixuan to turn a blind eye to a high-quality asset like Barings Bank.
Old Rothschild did not answer this, but gave him a look; the people below would naturally understand what he meant!
Andrew Rothschild said very seriously: "The family and Heiyun Group are partners, but they are also competitors."
"The development speed of Black Cloud Bank is too rapid. If it is not stopped, it may threaten the status of the Rothschild family in the financial field, especially the banking field."
The meaning is very obvious, partners and competitors are just a matter of thoughts; no one can be allowed to threaten the fundamentals of the Rothschild family - the financial banking industry!
Although I don’t understand why the richest man Bao strongly demands to sell Barings Bank to the Zheng family and the Bao family, the Rothschild family has no other choice; they can’t refuse at all and can only comply!
You can't tell the old Rothschild that the Singapore branch of Barings Bank has suffered serious losses, which will affect the entire bank; until it collapses and liquidates.
Taking over such a mess, I believe it will be difficult for Shark Dantong and Charter King to recover in a short time; by then, it will be extremely easy to clean up the two of them!
