Seven Hundred and Ninetieth Chapters to Static Braking

After acquiring Starbucks Coffee, Xia Yu appointed Howard Schultz, recruited from Xerox, as the general manager of Starbucks.

It also took a day to draw the logo of the later Starbucks, and wrote a refined version of the development plan according to the development of the later Starbucks.

After handing all these things over to Howard Schultz, Xia Yu acted like a shopkeeper.

With the real soul of Starbucks at the helm, as well as his high-level guidance and funds, who will succeed if Starbucks is unsuccessful?

Originally because of the acquisition of Starbucks, Xia Yu was in a good mood.

But after receiving a call from George Berkeley, Xia Yu's good mood was completely destroyed.

"...Hey, boss, are you still listening?"

Feeling that Xia Yu had been silent for a long time, George Berkeley on the other end of the phone asked.

Xia Yu, who was thinking, regained his senses. With a gloomy look on the corners of his brows, he said slowly in a calm tone, "George, relax, you can tell me about the acquisition of the two banks first."

The voice of George Berkeley came from the microphone again: "Boss, before the acquisition of the two banks, I have established the relationship, and the shareholders of the two banks have also helped us to clear the relationship in order to avoid thunderstorms. The Bank of England has agreed."

"So far, Standard Chartered has been going private and we have acquired an 83.2 per cent stake."

"As for the Royal Bank of Scotland, because it involves the right to issue sterling notes, there are many obstacles. It took a lot of time to clear it, and now it has acquired 62.5% of the equity..."

Xia Yu has been listening quietly, and when he heard about the acquisition of Royal Bank of Scotland's shareholding ratio, a trace of regret flashed in his eyes.

It would be great if the shareholding ratio exceeded 66.7%!

But things have already happened, and the smooth sailing during this period of time almost made him lose his vigilance. Now that something unexpected happened, it seemed real and normal.

Now that Barclays, the overlord of British banks, has no need to think about it, the Royal Bank of Scotland's equity can only be acquired so much.

"Boss, what should we do now? We have an absolute controlling stake in Standard Chartered Bank. If Barclays Bank does not sell equity, should we inject capital to dilute their equity? But I don't know the purpose of Barclays Bank yet... …”

Listening to George Berkeley's words in the microphone, Xia Yu thought more and more deeply. He was different from George Berkeley. He knew very well who the real owner of Barclays Bank was.

Barclays bought the shares of two banks at the same time. He didn't believe that it was an accident. It was probably premeditated, and the Rothschild family was calculating him.

Thinking of this, Xia Yu became more and more calm, he thought for a while, and instructed George Berkeley: "George, calm down, continue to acquire the equity as planned, without diluting the equity, and without contacting Barclays Bank to see how they react. , I won't go there, and as soon as there is news, you will notify me immediately."

"By the way, be careful not to leak the news of the losses of the two banks. Barclays intervened. The benefits of the two banks' thunderstorms did not fall on us. There is no need to reduce the acquisition cost for Barclays."

...

After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu stood in front of the windowsill with his hands behind his back, looking at the clear blue sky, taking a deep breath, all kinds of guesses emerged in his mind.

"Forget it, let's wait for them to make a move and see what medicine they sell in the gourd!"

For a long time, Xia Yu muttered to himself.

Shaking his head, he cleared his messy thoughts, made a few calls back to Xiangjiang, and told his subordinates to be more vigilant in the near future, and report to him immediately if there was anything abnormal.

It is said that the house leak happens every night when it rains.

Early the next morning, Peter Lynch also reported bad news to him.

Polestar Capital's plans to buy Abbott appear to have leaked, with an unknown entity longing Abbott, forcing Abbott's stock price higher.

The acquisition plan of Polaris Capital was disrupted, and the possibility of wanting a wholly-owned acquisition continued to decline.

The entrusted acquirer, Merrill Lynch, reported to Peter Lynch that the acquisition plan must be adjusted and the cost must be increased.

Although there are troubles, Abbott is the most suitable company for the Jiuding Consortium to build the foundation of the biopharmaceutical field, so the determination to acquire will not change.

It doesn't matter even if the cost increases, I'm afraid that I won't be able to spend the money!

Therefore, Xia Yu instructed Peter Lynch to discuss with Merrill Lynch, even if the commission was increased, let Merrill Lynch help take down Abbott!

The successive accidents made Xia Yu realize that something was wrong.

Because of his knowledge of the Rothschild family, he involuntarily put Abbott's acquisition accident on the Rothschild family.

Although this connection may seem outrageous, it is not impossible!

Next, what Xia Yu has to do is to stabilize his mentality and let the enemy jump out of his head first.

Of course, the necessary intelligence gathering work still needs to be done.

...

London, the Rothier family.

Jacob Rothier read the data brought back by Evelyn Rothier and asked, "Evelyn, the Bright Foundation has now known our actions, have they not responded?"

A flash of strangeness flashed in Evelyn Rothier's eyes, and he shook his head and said, "No, the people from our bank competed with them once, and the Bright Fund must have known about us, but the strange thing is that they didn't do anything, it seemed that It didn't happen normally."

Jacob Rosier frowned, and the corners of his mouth curled into an arc, and said with a smile: "Interesting, this can be calm, it's too calm, it's not good."

"America over there?"

Evelyn Rothschild said: "The acquisition of Abbott's stock has been arranged. If he wants to buy it, it is not so easy."

Jacob Roshir smiled and nodded: "That's good, since he doesn't want to move, let's take the initiative, and it's time to come out and explore him."

"The shares of Royal Bank of Scotland have been acquired almost, and retail investors will not be more than 1%. The rest should be in the Bright Fund. According to the plan, people will be sent to them to make a takeover offer."

Although Royal Bank of Scotland is a listed company, in many cases, bank stocks are different from ordinary stocks, and there are not many in the hands of retail investors, because it is impossible for retail investors to buy them.

Over the years, the shareholding of Royal Bank of Scotland has gone through innumerable changes and is no longer in the hands of the founder's family.

There are not many public shares, and most of the shares are concentrated in the hands of large and small institutions. The shares held by these institutions are also tradable shares, and it depends on whether they are willing to sell them.

It is precisely because of this situation that the shares of Royal Bank of Scotland and Standard Chartered Bank were so easily acquired in a concentrated manner.

"OK, I'll arrange for Barclays to come over tomorrow morning."

PS: The last three hours, if you don't vote, it will expire!
