There are many aristocrats studying in Cambridge University, including European aristocrats, Arab princes and so on. Naturally, the degree of public security in the university is very high. On weekdays, Princess Ulysses studied in Cambridge without bodyguards. Not only did she not bring it, but many powerful people did not.
Henry accompanied Princess Ulysses to Selvin college, Cambridge University. Here, Henry and Princess Ulysses bid farewell. Henry is not a student of Cambridge University. He goes to class together, which is a bit out of character. In addition, Henry has some investment affairs to deal with!
On the one hand, Henry organized a team to contact the government and acquire British times company and British energy company; On the other hand, it is preparing to buy more British banks. Barings Bank is an investment bank, so Henry is going to buy a commercial bank!
Henry had to spend a lot of money to buy big banks directly, and these big banks might not sell. So Henry is targeting banks with potential and influence in the UK.
There is no doubt that the most famous is the Royal Bank of Scotland, which is only a regional bank after 2000. Although it is a regional bank, it has a high market share and is the largest bank in Scotland! What Henry valued most was the management team of the bank, which made him admire!
First, snake swallows elephant. In 2000, it acquired National Westminster Bank, which is three times the size of its own company. Then, it got out of hand and developed rapidly. In just a few years, it finally became the largest bank in the UK. Its business covers the UK and all over the world, ranking first in the UK's legal person, individual and overseas banking industry, Second place in retail banking and private car insurance industry!!!
What is the most important thing in the 21st century? Talent!!!
Therefore, the acquisition of a strong management team is more important than the acquisition of a bank!
Not long after Henry came to England, he sent someone to contact Royal Bank of Scotland and made a tender offer to the bank. After so many days of negotiation, he finally made progress. Royal Bank of Scotland agreed Henry to buy 70% of their shares with us $7 billion! This morning, the representative of RBS came to London to sign a contract with Henry.
The signing place is the Langham Hotel in London, the first luxury hotel in Europe that Henry owns. When Henry returned to the hotel at 10 a.m., representatives of RBS arrived. There were four of them, chairman macmilo, CEO Fred Goodwin and two lawyers!
Henry welcomed them warmly with a smile on his face. When he got to the hotel room, Henry had them get a drink, and then he said with a smile, "Mr. McGregor and Mr. Fred Goodwin, after signing the contract, we'll be a family!"
"Well!" They nodded and said with a smile.
Henry put the contract in front of them. "Look at the contract, isn't it OK? If not, we will start to sign the contract! "
Macmilo and Fred Goodwin handed the contract over to their lawyers, who nodded after reading it.
"Mr. Williams, there's no problem with the contract. Let's sign it." Said machillo.
"Good!" Henry gave a little smile.
After signing the contract, Henry said with a smile, "do you mind changing the name of the bank?"
"Of course, Mr. Williams, you are the major shareholder of the bank. Naturally, you have the right to change your name!"
"Well," Henry thought about it and asked, "how about a royal bank called Williams?"
"No problem, it's a very good name!" Fred Goodwin nodded. Royal Bank of Scotland changed to Royal Bank of Williams. When others inquired, it turned out that Royal Bank of Williams is the Bank of Henry Williams, the richest man in the world. If he is so rich, the bank should also be rich. Put the money in Royal Bank of Williams. Don't worry!
"Now that you all agree, it's called Williams Royal Bank!" Henry said with a smile, "in addition, I will incorporate the Barings Bank into the Royal Bank of Williams!"
"That's no problem!" Fred Goodwin asked, "does Barings need to keep its brand name?"
"Keep it. It's a subsidiary of Royal Bank of Williams!" Said Henry.
……
Peter Williams has been living in the shadow of Henry, resentment is also a kind of motivation, he was admitted to Cambridge University, and with Princess Ulysses is a classmate. Every time he sat in the last row of the classroom, this time was no exception. Sitting in the corner, he could only see the side and back of Princess Ulysses, but still, he was satisfied. However, for the first time, he saw Princess Ulysses with a smile on her face, which was impossible in the past. Why does Princess Ulysses smile when she shows her cold face all the time? Peter Williams can't help but think of the situation when Henry and Princess Ulysses walked side by side this morning. He suddenly became jealous and his face became hideous!
Why him? Why do you like him, not me?!!
You can't smile, I want your cold face! You can't laugh!!!
Peter Williams clenched his fists, fingernails in the flesh, blood oozing!
In fact, after years of ridicule by countless people, Peter Williams' psychology has been greatly distorted to a frightening degree. Sometimes when he was alone at home, he would cut his thigh with a knife and watch the scarlet blood flow out of his skin slowly, which made him feel great pleasure; He would roll at the picture of Princess Ulysses until he fainted.
His room was always dark and gloomy. The walls of the room were plastered with newspapers and photos, all of which were portraits of Henry Williams, but none of them were complete. Some of them had their eyes cut out, some had their noses cut out... They looked terrible!
At this moment, his eyes were almost full of blood, like eyes from hell, almost a sense of killing projected from his eyes. Sitting in the front row, a tall boy turned his head to look at Peter Williams, and he was immediately pale, which was ten times more terrifying than "Curse"!
Twenty minutes later, the bell rang and the professor announced the end of class. At this time, the boy sitting in the front row of Peter Williams was already on pins and needles. As soon as he heard the end of class, he immediately left the classroom.
Princess Ulysses picked up her things, got up from her seat, and went to the door.
Peter Williams kept his eyes on Princess Ulysses. When he saw her walk out of the classroom door, he suddenly stood up and ran after her. A stool behind him fell to the ground, making a "bang" sound and echoing in the open classroom
(PS: I'm afraid...)
