Chapter Seven Hundred and Ninety Second Bank Acquisition Blocked

Jacob Rothier's face became gloomy the more he listened, but the deductions continued in his mind.

After a long time, he shook his head and said, "We missed the best chance to control him, unless he made a big mistake later, or artificially created a trap to lure him in."

"Before his funds are exhausted, his ability to protect himself is the strongest."

Evelyn Jacob nodded in agreement: "Yes, then we continue to look for opportunities?"

Jacob Rothier nodded without thinking: "Of course, it's rare to find such a person, and you can't give up easily."

"Isn't his North Star Capital company buying companies in the United States? It seems to be eyeing Abbott, which has a market value of $2.8 billion. If he wants to acquire it, it will cost at least $3 billion."

"We don't know his capital now, but it is conservatively estimated at $6 billion. According to his habits, he doesn't like leveraged buyout companies. If he pays out all the money, just buying Abbott can take out his capital. half!"

"If there are more of these, then his funds will be exhausted and his threat will be reduced."

Evelyn Rosier smiled and said: "According to his trend, it will definitely attract the attention of those consortia in the United States, a yellow race dares to grab cakes in the United States on a large scale, I believe those two traitors will not tolerate it. "

"Those two traitors can instruct the consortium family in Europe to jointly encircle and suppress us. Of course, we can also let him cause trouble for them. If he can win the best, there will be chaos in the United States. Of course, the probability of him winning is almost zero, that We will reach out to him at some point, and I believe he will not refuse."

The two of them thought well, but they didn't know that Xia Yu didn't eat dry rice. The Tiger Fund and Bridgewater Fund were very secretive. Xia Yu tried not to go there. Even if he went, he was very careful. Therefore, the Rothschild family did not discover their relationship with Xia Yu.

As for the amount of Xia Yu's funds, they were far underestimated.

Not to mention them, even anyone in the world would not believe that Xia Yu could have more than 20 billion US dollars in liquidity. This is simply a fantasy.

Jacob Rothier smiled and said: "Evelyn, this plan is more complicated. We will improve it at that time. Before that, we have to disrupt his layout. We can't wait any longer. It doesn't matter if it's offensive to him."

"The capital pyramid in the United States has been formed. As long as he wants to gain a foothold in the United States, the higher he goes up, the more conspicuous he will be. Conflict with the old American consortium is inevitable."

"He is a smart person. Smart people naturally understand the choice between emotions and interests. When they are about to fall into the abyss, even if they hate us, they will hide their emotions. Please help him!"

Evelyn Rothier nodded in agreement, thought about it and asked: "If we disrupt his layout, we have three places in the UK that we can do, namely Royal Bank of Scotland, Standard Chartered Bank and Jaguar Motor Company. Which one? Or the three of them working together?"

Jacob Rothier thought about it and directly excluded Jaguar Motors: "Jaguar Motors should not stop it, we can't stop it, now the Leland Motor Group has been acquired, and Sir William Lyons has also been persuaded by Duke Howard. Now, our chances of stopping it are too small."

Speaking of this, he paused and added: "And this acquisition was approved by Ms. Margaret and passed by the parliament. Duke Howard is also a shareholder of Rolls-Royce Motors Group. We can't sin against any of them. ."

Don't look at the Rothier family standing at the top of British capital, but in fact they are also under great pressure.

Although the Rothier family is also a noble, it only has the lowest baron title, and is not a member of the ancient noble alliance. Coupled with the actions of the Rothier family at the peak, the ancient British family has no doubts about Roche. The Er family is very vigilant.

Although the Rohir family cooperates with some big families,

But it is only limited to business, more competition and confrontation.

In the modern business environment, cooperation and competition coexist, and the secret confrontation has never stopped.

The Howard family is the first few of the British dukes, with strong strength, and is the top of the ancient noble alliance. Although the Rothier family is not afraid of the Howard family, there is really no need to offend them for no reason.

Evelyn Rothier nodded and said with a smile: "He is really good. He gained the friendship of Lady Margaret during the campaign and was recognized by Duke Howard."

Jacob Rothier nodded slightly and said with emotion: "So he has an unreasonable maturity. Even an elite trained by a big family can't achieve his level at this age."

After sighing, Jacob Rothier continued to talk about the business: "Okay, let's talk about the business first."

"The Bright Fund is registered in the UK, and the Banking Act introduced last year could not prevent it from acquiring Royal Bank of Scotland and Standard Chartered Bank, but both banks have the right to issue money, the Bank of England has the right to intervene, they have cleared the relationship, and secretly Large-scale acquisition of equity, if we want to be a one-time success, we must stop it!"

The Banking Act mentioned by Jacob Rothier is called the "British Banking Act 1979". The formulation of this Act can be said to be an important turning point in the history of British financial regulation. banking law.

The reason why such a banking law was enacted was because the financial crisis broke out from 1973 to 1975, which hit the British financial industry hard. Among them, foreign banks bought British banks aggressively, so the United Kingdom had to protect its own banks and strengthen the banking industry. regulation.

Fortunately, it is only the first complete banking law. If in 1987, the United Kingdom passed the "Banking Act 1987", the law proposed that "before any investor intends to acquire more than 15% of the equity of a British bank, must be approved by the Bank of England."

At that time, the Bright Fund will not be able to buy banks as recklessly as it is now.

Having said that, the banks acquired by Bright Fund are also special. Standard Chartered Bank is better, that is, it has the right to issue Hong Kong dollars, which is less important.

However, the Royal Bank of Scotland has the right to issue banknotes in sterling, and the Bank of England can justifiably intervene.

George Berkeley had already taken action to clear the relationship before, and Elena also used the relationship of the Howard family, so there was no risk.

But now, if the Rothier family wants to get in the way, it's easy.

However, Evelyn Rosier did not agree with Jacob Roshir's idea of ​​stopping.

He shook his head and questioned: "Jacob, I don't think we need to stop it from the beginning. This is a good opportunity to penetrate his career. If he can accept it, then we can proceed to the next step of testing."

Jacob Rothier was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood his cousin Evelyn Rothier's plan, and nodded: "Your idea is better, now he has the fatal handle of the two banks, but we do not Not afraid of this risk, you can rush to acquire a part of the equity and become his partner."

"But we also have to show our strength."

"Now that the equity of Standard Chartered Bank has been acquired by Bright Fund, it must exceed the absolute control line. We can acquire as much as we can. I believe that as long as he is wise, he will not fight for capital injection with us."

"In the case of Royal Bank of Scotland, at least 40% of the equity will be obtained. Let's see how he chooses and try his attitude!"

"If he doesn't know how to share with us, then let his acquisition go to waste!"

...

On this day, Jacob Rothschild and Evelyn Rothschild negotiated for several hours, perfecting the plan to the level of detail.

That afternoon, the Rohir family moved.

Senior executives of Barclays, the UK's largest bank, have approached shareholders of Royal Bank of Scotland and Standard Chartered Bank.

In the choice of Bright Fund and Barclays Bank, there is no doubt that shareholders who did not sell their equity all chose Barclays Bank.

After hitting a wall several times, George Berkeley, who had been smooth sailing, immediately realized that something must have gone wrong.

When he inquired carefully, the news he got made his face change greatly. He didn't dare to take any chances, and immediately called Xia Yu on the other side of the ocean.
