Chapter 884
r
The Bank of England, the Bank of England, is subordinate to the British Ministry of Finance. r
r
The Council is required to meet at least once a week. r
r
This time, in order to calm the turmoil in financial markets, the Bank of England is ready to pick the most suitable option to minimize the impact of Barings' bankruptcy. r
r
As for the ownership of Barings Bank, all the members of the council are in place. r
r
In the conference room of the Bank of England headquarters building, eighteen council members sat around a long oval table, each with a stack of documents in front of them. r
r
The Governor of the Bank of England, Webb Bast, who was sitting at the top, picked up a document and said aloud, "This is the proposal provided by all those who are interested in taking over. Everyone will read it first, and then discuss the results." r
r
The others didn't answer, they all silently flipped through the plan in front of them. r
r
For a time, the only sound in the conference room could be heard panting and flipping papers. r
r
Webb Buster, who had already seen it all, quietly observed the changes in the expressions of the people sitting, and his face showed a thoughtful look from time to time. r
r
"Clap!" r
r
Time passed slowly, and realizing that everyone had finished watching, Webb Buster clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention. r
r
"Everyone has read it,
Then give your opinion. "r
r
As soon as Weber Buster finished speaking, a director over 60 immediately said, "I think Barclays Bank's plan is the best, and with Barclays Bank's strength and credibility, as long as it takes over Barings Bank, it can The fastest speed to resolve the crisis..."r
r
Webb Buster nodded nonchalantly, without making a statement, and looked at the others. r
r
Webb Bast knew very well that this director's network was the iron core of the Rothschild family. r
r
Under normal circumstances, Barclays is indeed the best taker, but who made this all doomed? r
r
Now it's just a cutscene, he needs to make the procedure as legal and compliant as possible, that's all. r
r
"I don't think Barclays Bank is suitable to take over. Barclays Bank and Barings Bank overlap too much. If it takes over Barings Bank, most of the employees will be fired, and the unemployment rate in the financial industry will rise sharply. I think Lloyds Bank's plan Yes, and Lloyds has been readjusting its development strategy in recent months, and overseas capital has contracted significantly, and Barclays' cash flow is not necessarily comparable to them."r
r
"And Lloyds' annexation of Barings could also promote healthy competition in the financial industry."r
r
Another director, who clearly represents the interests of Lloyds Bank, retorted. r
r
"I think HSBC Group..." r
r
...r
r
Each of the directors expressed their opinions, but they did not give in to each other, and the meeting room was gradually filled with the smell of gunpowder. r
r
Webb Buster was silent the whole time, keeping everything in sight. r
r
Seeing that they were almost jumping, he secretly made a color to the vice president sitting on the left. r
r
The vice president's eyes flashed, then he patted the table, raised his voice and said, "Everyone be quiet, let the other directors who haven't spoken yet express their opinions." r
r
The directors who were arguing gradually quieted down and looked at the directors around who had not yet spoken. r
r
One of the directors sitting at the end sat up straight, cleared his throat and said, "I will express my personal opinion without any personal emotional factors." r
r
"In my opinion, the ninth plan is the most suitable."r
r
Some directors were stunned for a moment, and immediately came up with the ninth plan. When they saw the successor above, they groaned in their hearts and suddenly looked at the director who was talking eloquently. r
r
"The consortium composed of Locke Fund, Jiuding Bank, Bright Fund and Black Rose Capital Company promised to inject one billion US dollars of assets into Barings Bank in the form of copper futures and aluminum futures contracts plus cash after taking over. Time to lift the bankruptcy of Barings Bank."r
r
"Everyone can see the current situation in the futures market. Even if you have money, it is difficult to help Barings Bank liquidate its positions. Among all the plans, only the consortium of the No. 9 plan has this ability."r
r
"The consortium headed by the Locke Fund to take over Barings Bank is the best way at present."r
r
As soon as he finished speaking, the first director to speak for Barclays Bank immediately said, "Jefft, everyone knows that Barings Bank will go bankrupt because of the Locke Fund and Bright Fund. Although Barings Bank is currently taken over by us, the Barings family is very concerned about Barings. The influence of the bank still exists, are you sure that the consortium headed by the Locke Fund can take over smoothly?" r
r
"Furthermore, Black Rose Capital is not well-known in the capital market, and Jiuding Bank is a company belonging to Heung Kong. The consortium headed by Locke Fund has little experience with banking elites, and I don't think they are suitable to take over Barings Bank. "r
r
The director named Jeffet immediately rebutted, "The collapse of Barings Bank is an abrupt event, and the futures market is stuck and the loss is the biggest problem. As long as these two problems are solved, Barings Bank can quickly get out of the quagmire. Since the Rock Fund is the leader The consortium's plan can quickly solve these two problems, how can it not be suitable?" r
r
...r
r
For a while, there was another quarrel in the conference room, more and more directors were mixed in, and the conference room was a mess. r
r
At this time, Webb Buster, who was sitting at the top, frowned, slammed down the table, and said loudly, "Okay, do you still look like a gentleman?" r
r
Everyone who was arguing was taken aback. Seeing Webb Buster's thick eyebrows standing upright, they could only suppress the irritability in their hearts and waited quietly for the following. r
r
"It seems that you won't come to a conclusion after arguing until the afternoon. In this case, choose the plan in the most democratic way, show your hands to vote, repeat the vote, and the minority obeys the majority!" r
r
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of several people changed, and they were anxious but unable to speak. r
r
Webb Buster turned a blind eye and went straight to the democratic voting process. r
r
"Raise your hand in agreement with Plan No. 1!" r
r
"Three!" r
r
"Two!" r
r
"One!" r
r
"Ok, only one vote, ass!" r
r
"Raise your hand to agree with Plan 2!" r
r
...r
r
Webb Buster went through the voting process so quickly that no one else was allowed to exchange opinions secretly. r
r
"Raise your hand in agreement with Plan Nine!" r
r
As soon as these words came out, eight directors raised their hands with a swipe. Most of the directors who raised their hands were those who had not spoken before and were ignored. r
r
It's just that the sudden raising of his hand now makes the No. 9 plan stand out in an instant. The expressions of other directors who have expressed their positions before become ugly in an instant, and they all realize that something is wrong. r
r
At this moment, a scene that shocked them happened. r
r
I saw the vice president slowly raise his hand. r
r
Immediately after, Governor Webb Buster also raised his hand. r
r
There are ten votes in favor, directly exceeding half! r
r
The three directors who had voted originally realized that something was wrong, and after a moment of hesitation, they raised their hands again one after another. r
r
The affirmative vote reached thirteen votes! r
r
Webb Buster nodded once with a blank expression, and said, "Plan Nine, thirteen votes in favor, pass!" r
r
"Raise your hand in agreement with Plan 10!" r
r
...r
r
Next, it was not until the No. 16 proposal that all votes were completed. r
r
What's just interesting is that after the No. 9 plan, no one raised their hands to agree to the following plans. r
r
"The results have been counted. Thirteen votes for the No. 9 plan, four votes for the No. 4 plan, and three votes for the No. 5 plan." r
r
"Notify the consortium headed by the Locke Fund to prepare to take over Barings Bank."r
r
Webb Bast said immediately, leaving no chance for others to question. r
r
The plan has been selected in a democratic way, and the whole meeting is photographed and recorded, and he is not afraid of others' doubts. r
r
What if some people have guessed that there is a problem? r
r
There is no problem with the procedure, he is completely tenable, even if he stabs the Ministry of Finance, he will not hesitate. r
r
Thinking of the source of the plan, Weber Bast flashed the name of Black Rose Capital in his mind, and thought to himself, "What's more, even if someone stabs the Ministry of Finance, I believe there will be no results."r
r
After the meeting, several directors left in a hurry, Webb Buster turned a blind eye, and ordered people to prepare for a press conference. r
r
...r
r
"How is that possible?"r
r
After hearing the result, Jacob Rosier's face changed, and the old hand holding the armrest of the stool burst into blue veins, obviously extremely angry. r
r
"Mr. Rothier, that's the way it is. I can't do anything about it. This is the No. 9 plan I brought out. Let's take a look. I have something else to do, so I'll go first." r
r
The director of the Bank of England Council, which represents the interests of the Rothschild family, sighed, put down the plan in his hand, and then got up and left. r
r
It didn't help, and he was too embarrassed to sit here. r
r
"Although the result is not ideal, but it's still hard work for you, I won't give it away, and we'll have a good chat at another time next time." r
r
Jacob Rothier tried his best to calm down and got up and said. r
r
And his cousin, Evelyn Rothier, went out to give it away. r
r
After witnessing the disappearance of the figure, he took his seat again and looked at the No. 9 plan with a cold gaze. r
r
After reading it, his eyes locked on Black Rose Capital. r
r
He knew very well that the Bright Foundation and Jiuding Bank were not yet capable of doing all this, and although the Howard family had an amazing influence, they might not be able to win the Rothschild family. r
r
But today's Bank of England meeting is clearly dominated by Weber Buster. r
r
There are very few people in the UK who can influence all of this, and the Black Rose Capital Company, which even he is unfamiliar with, is the biggest suspect. r
r
"Evelyn, this time we lost, we were careless! This is an absolute shame!" r
r
Jacob Rosier looked grim and said angrily to Evelyn Rosier who had returned to the living room and sat down. r
r
While Evelyn Rothier was annoyed, he felt a great pity in his heart that the huge Barings Bank was eaten by tigers. r
r
They were busy working, and they didn't even get any hair. This kind of miss and being slapped in the face was very rare for the Rothier family in the past, and it was an absolute shame. r
r
But this is the end of the matter, there is no other way. r
r
It's just that he lost so confusedly, he's not reconciled, at least he needs to know why he lost! r
r
Evelyn Rothier took a deep breath and said, "Jacob, I'm going to check the background of Black Rose Capital Company to see who has such great ability!" r
r
Jacob Rosier didn't say much, nodded to show his attitude. r
r
After Evelyn Rothier left, he looked east, his eyes seemed to penetrate the castle and space, and fixed on the magnificent palace. r
r
"Could it be..." r
r
