Chapter 802: Layout for the Counterattack

After Xia Yu proposed countermeasures, Duke Carter Howard paid more attention to Xia Yu's judgment in his heart.

Since Xia Yu wanted to take revenge on the Rothschild family, he would never recommend him to do so without certainty.

Otherwise, if the sovereign debt crisis in Latin America does not occur, if Lloyds Bank transfers its loan business to Barclays Bank, it will be completely capitalizing on the enemy.

"It seems that I really need to investigate carefully, and I will be busy in the next time..."

Duke Carter Howard thought to himself.

Seeing that Duke Carter Howard listened, Xia Yu stopped talking too much and changed the subject.

For example - Heung Kong Dohyung Bank in the hands of Lloyds Bank.

"Sir Carter, I have something to ask of your help."

Duke Carter Howard raised his brows and asked, "What do you need me to do, if I can help you, I'd be happy to."

Xia Yu said with a smile: "It's not too much trouble. I don't know if you know that Lloyds Bank holds 61.5% of the shares of Heung Kong Daoheng Bank. I want these shares."

Xia Yu knew this information a long time ago, but because he was not familiar with Lloyds Bank and his relationship with Duke Carter Howard was not in place, Xia Yu did not mention it.

But this was only stimulated by the Lauhill family, and Xia Yu took this opportunity to buy Daoheng Bank, so as not to ignore it later.

The Rothschilds have now coveted him, and have now seized the opportunity to enter the Royal Bank of Scotland and Standard Chartered in his financial system.

Originally, according to the original plan, after the acquisition of these two banks, it was to merge with Jiuding Bank and Chiba Bank to form a large international banking group.

But now, the Rothschild family has come in, and Xia Yu's plan can only be forced to abort.

If the Rothschild family knew about Xia Yu's original plan, maybe they would keep encouraging Xia Yu to do this, in order to penetrate Xia Yu's entire bank foundation.

Of course, someone has to ask, what does this have to do with Xia Yu's acquisition of Daoheng Bank?

Relationships naturally exist.

Now that Xia Yu has been targeted by the Rothschild family, of course, other big European consortiums will also notice Xia Yu because of this, not to mention the big American consortium.

It can be said that Xia Yu suddenly entered the sight of the top figure who controls the world.

However, Xia Yu is only a yellow race. In today's white supremacy world, it is easy to be targeted by large European and American consortia and families.

Xia Yu was not afraid of being alone with one or two medium-sized consortiums or families, but he was afraid of becoming a joint hunting target of others.

Therefore, Xia Yu's sense of crisis greatly increased.

And the best way is to make one's own nest like iron, so as not to be "sneak attack on Pearl Harbor".

In the construction of Tietong, finance is the most important. Xia Yu wants to build Xiangjiang into his own financial kingdom.

Today, in the field of Heungkong Bank, there are actually three hilltops, namely HSBC Bank, Standard Chartered Bank and Jiuding Bank. As for Bank of Hongkong, the strong presence at this time is because of its halo, not its strength, and there are no other banks under its umbrella. , so it cannot be counted as one department, one level lower.

Among the three hills, HSBC is the highest, controlling or taking shares in six banks, among which it owns the number one horse, Hang Seng Bank.

Followed by Standard Chartered Bank, there are five banks that follow their lead and are also very strong.

In the end, it was Xia Yu's Jiuding Bank, which had acquired two Xiangjiang Banks before. Although there were few banks under his command, Xia Yu's Jiuding Consortium was terrifying and forced Jiuding Bank to supply it.

Now that Standard Chartered Bank has been controlled by Xia Yu, then adding Jiuding Bank, in fact, the throne of Xiangjiang's financial emperor has been shifted, no longer Shen Bi, but Xia Yu.

If HSBC can be acquired, then Xia Yu's financial kingdom will be formed in an instant, and everyone will have to look up to him. Even if it is the Taikoo consortium, Xia Yu can squeeze his neck and knead at will.

But the problem is that HSBC can't buy it, it's just investing in some shares.

In this case, it can only strengthen the strength of Standard Chartered Bank and Jiuding Bank. Of the two, Xia Yu of course chooses his son Jiuding Bank.

The best way to increase its strength is to acquire banks to increase its financial market share and voice.

Controlled by Lloyds Bank, Dao Heng Bank, a mid-sized bank in Hong Kong, is now an excellent acquisition target.

If Xia Yu doesn't do it, then in two years, Dao Heng Bank will be acquired by the Hong Leong Group of the Kwok family in Malaysia, and finally, it will acquire other banks step by step, and build it into another bank-oriented Guoco Group.

Of course, in 2001, Dao Heng Bank with a market value of HK$22 billion will be acquired by the Development Bank of Singapore from Hong Leong Group at a price of HK$45 billion.

Rather than keep it for others, it is better to buy it at a low price earlier, consolidate your bank foundation, and improve the blood supply capacity of the Jiuding Consortium.

Duke Carter Howard thought for a while. It seemed that Lloyds Bank really had an equity stake in Daoheng Bank.

Moreover, over the years, Lloyds Bank has acquired or invested in many banks, how can he remember it.

But since Xia Yu wanted it, and it was just a local bank in Xiangjiang, the problem was naturally not big.

He nodded slightly and said, "I'll check it out for you. If it's not too difficult, I'll buy it for you."

Xia Yu smiled and said gratefully, "Then thank you Sir."

Now that the future of Xiangjiang is uncertain, and the British have no confidence in their hearts, and with the face of Duke Carter Howard, the management of Lloyds Bank must be a good friend.

...

After Xia Yu left, Duke Carter Howard immediately contacted several major shareholders of Lloyds Bank, as well as the bank's management, and held a secret meeting.

After the meeting, Lloyds Bank appeared to be as usual on the surface, but it began to rectify internally, especially as each major shareholder secretly used his own resources to collect information on the situation in Latin America.

As for the equity of Daoheng Bank that Xia Yu wanted, it was not difficult as he expected.

Only four days later, Duke Carter Howard asked Elena to bring over the equity certificate of Daoheng Bank and the unfinished equity transfer contract for Xia Yu to sign and complete.

What else is there to say, Xia Yu signed it directly, and then credited the affordable price quoted by Duke Carter Howard, 9 million pounds, into the account of Howard Investment Company.

Nine million pounds, according to the latest exchange rate, is converted into Hong Kong dollars of about 92 million Hong Kong dollars, but bought 6.5% of the equity, which is not too affordable.

According to this price, Dao Heng Bank is only worth 150 million Hong Kong dollars. This is because Dao Heng Bank is not listed.

If we waited two years according to the original history, Hong Leong Group would be slaughtered by Lloyds Bank, and Dao Heng Bank was sold for 600 million Hong Kong dollars.

After the equity was acquired, Xia Yu's coming to the UK could be said to be over.

As for whether Lloyds Bank would cheat on Barclays, Xia Yu felt that he would definitely do it. After all, the ancient British noble alliance and the Rothschild family were enemies.

Before leaving, Xia Yu went to Huashang Bank, had a secret meeting with Wu Hongyi, made a final decision with him, paid attention to the shareholders of Huashang Bank, and did not let Huashang Bank be infiltrated.

Then Xia Yu found George Berkeley and asked him to send someone to set up a branch in Canada to lay the foundation first.

The Rothschild family is powerful in Canada. It can be said that Canada is the Rothschild family's territory and stronghold, echoing the branches in the United States.

Xia Yu wanted to fight with the Rothier family, so naturally he had to break into the enemy's interior and increase his bargaining power.

It can't be said that the operation is good, and it can also subvert the status of the Rothschild family in Canada.

Canada is arranged, then Xia Yu will naturally not fall in France, where the most important stronghold of the Rothier family is.

According to his original intention, he wanted to go directly to France by himself.

But now he is definitely being watched by the Rothschild family, and suddenly going to France will definitely arouse the Rothschild family's suspicion, so he has to give up his original plan.

He asked George Berkeley to send people to France to investigate the situation in all walks of life and collect information on Francois Mitterrand after he left.

After everything was arranged, under Elena's reluctant gaze, Xia Yu boarded the plane, not for the United States, but for Xiangjiang.
