Chapter 1430 Shen Yi Meets Leeson, the Criminal of Barings Bank!
A bald man, wearing glasses and a suit all year round, he is usually not much different from the elites in the financial industry on Wall Street.
He is Nick Leeson, the futures manager of Singapore Barings.
After Huo Jianning and Sir Peter Baring of the Baring family secretly signed a contract to acquire Barings Bank, Huo Jianning and Peter Baring gave Leeson, who was far away in Singapore, a letter.
The letter said that the Empire Group had acquired Barings Bank, and in view of Leeson's outstanding performance in Singapore Barings Futures over the years, he was transferred back to the headquarters for reuse.
At first, Leeson's sixth sense felt that there was something wrong, but he was still overwhelmed by the words "reuse" and "Empire Group".
He took those core subordinates and immediately flew back to London from Singapore.
However, as soon as he came out of London International Airport, he was secretly arrested and taken away.
At that time, Leeson was struggling and shouting.
"I am an M countryman, you can't arrest me."
In fact, as soon as Leeson got off the plane, he felt something was wrong, and he regretted it a little.
However, there was no chance for him to escape.
When he was caught, he immediately said that he was from M country. Just because he was from M country, he was not worried that he would be punished.
However, he did not know that the seriousness of this incident was much more serious than his noble identity as an M countryman.
When Leeson and his subordinates were taken away and locked up in one place.
And Leeson was taken away for investigation, no one else outside knew about it.
When Huo Jianning learned that Leeson and his subordinates were taken away and the wrong account had been controlled, he finally felt relieved.
. . .
Jazz Manor.
Now in addition to Huo Jianning, there is also Barro.
Last night, Huo Jianning and Barro had learned that Shen Yi came out again this time and let Shen Yi serve as the chairman of Barings Bank.
"Mr. Huo, has Mr. Shen come to London? And Leeson is from M country, with a special status. Will it be handled in London, Singapore, Hong Kong, or handed over to M country?"
Historically, Leeson caused the bankruptcy of Barings Bank and was eventually sentenced to fourteen years in prison.
So what if the other party is from M country? In that case, M country could not protect the other party, and he was eventually arrested by Singapore and dealt with according to Singapore's financial laws.
So, Barro knew to think carefully this time.
"Wait for Mr. Shen to come and see how Mr. Shen handles it."
In fact, it is handled in time now, and Leeson has not been messed up like Barings Bank, which is equivalent to saving the other party. If he really wants to do it like in history and bring down Barings Bank, Leeson will still not be able to avoid the fate of going to jail.
Of course, it may take a few years to be imprisoned now.
"Mr. Huo, wait for Mr. Shen to come, and we will hand it over to Mr. Shen."
That afternoon.
It was 3:45 pm London time.
Shen Yi and Gao Xiancheng had already taken a flight directly to London International Airport.
When the two got off the plane, Barlow had sent someone to pick them up.
Shen Yi and Gao Xiancheng got on the car and left London International Airport and went to Jazz Manor.
Arrived at Jazz Manor.
Shen Yi and Gao Xiancheng met Huo Jianning and Barlow.
"Mr. Huo."
"Mr. Shen, Mr. Barlow."
The three greeted each other.
As for Gao Xiancheng, Huo Jianning and Barlow had never met each other before.
After learning that Gao Xiancheng was here to assist Shen Yi, Huo Jianning and the others looked at Gao Xiancheng with a different look.
Then they entered a room inside.
Huo Jianning told Shen Yi and the others about the current situation of Barings Bank.
"Mr. Shen, we have arrested Leeson and his subordinates now, but people outside don't know. However, Leeson has been clamoring to be released because he is from M country. However, this matter is of great importance, and we want to hand it over to you to handle."
"This Leeson has committed a serious crime and must be dealt with. We can't let him go just because he is from M country. As for which law to deal with, I will talk to Sir Yang, London parents, Singapore, and M country. In addition, I will go to see this Leeson first."
Now seeing Mr. Shen say that, Huo Jianning and Barro already know that Mr. Shen is very confident and capable of handling this matter.
That night.
The two had dinner at Sir Manor.
Shen Yi and Gao Xiancheng took a car to a detention center in London, and the two asked to see Leeson.
At this time, Leeson had been locked up for a few days.
The more he thought about it, the more wrong it was.
However, he guessed that the Empire Group had acquired Barings Bank. In addition, the Empire Group may have known about the serious losses caused by him and the financial account.
As for why he was brought back to London for arrest, it was obvious that the Empire Group was not familiar with Singapore, but with London, so they did that.
Leeson really regretted it. He did not expect that the Barings family actually sold the Barings Bank, and sold it to the Empire Group.
He was still a little afraid of the Empire Group.
Even though he was an M countryman, if the Empire Group wanted to use its relationship in London to deal with him now, I was afraid that I would not know how many years I would be imprisoned.
At this time.
Shen Yi and Gao Xiancheng came over.
The two were taken in by the police officers of the detention center.
"Mr. Shen, Mr. Gao, that Leeson was held in solitary confinement."
It must be said that the detention center in Country Y is very humane. Apart from being imprisoned and losing freedom, you can enjoy all the human life in it.
The individual rooms in this detention center are very clean, with TVs and even heating inside, as well as rich breakfast, lunch, dinner, and daily morning and evening newspapers.
Except that you can't contact the outside world and lose your freedom, it's hard to imagine that this is a detention center.
Now Shen Yi and Gao Xiancheng come over and see a bald man watching TV inside.
"Li Sen, someone is here to see you."
A police officer said.
Li Sen turned around and saw Shen Yi and Gao Xiancheng, and didn't recognize who they were at first.
When Shen Yi said his identity.
"My name is Shen Yi, I was the former head of Huifeng Bank and the new chairman of Barings Bank now."
Shen Yi?
The former head of Huifeng Bank?
Li Sen immediately knew who the white old man in front of him was.
In the 1970s and 1980s, Shen Yi's influence was not only in Hong Kong, but also very famous in Nanyang. As the God of Wealth in Hong Kong, the Nanyang financial community had to know him.
"Let's talk to him alone."
The accompanying police officer left first.
Now there are only Shen Yi, Gao Xiancheng, and Leeson.
At first, Leeson didn't know what Shen Yi wanted to do with him, but Leeson felt that no matter what Shen Yi asked him, he was not going to say it.
Because he knew that as long as he said it, he would be guilty.
Shen Yi directly asked Gao Xiancheng to give the information he brought to Leeson.
Leeson took it and just flipped through a few pages, and his face changed immediately.
