Chapter 1345

When it comes to British banks, I believe most people still think of Standard Chartered and HSBC. However, as the first ATM, the first credit card and the first debit card in the UK, Barclays Bank plays an important role in the UK and even in the world.

Especially after acquiring the North American investment bank Andy Smith obtained from the bankrupt Lehman Brothers Company, including bond, stock sales, trading business and related investment business, it has become one of the largest banks and financial institutions in the world.

Barclays Bank, which has just completed the loan with Andy Smith for the new stadium of Tottenham, received the news that the big client had suddenly visited. Robert diamond, President of Barclays Bank, directly put down his work and met him personally.

In the conference room, the host and guest sat opposite each other. After Andy and Robert diamond talked and exchanged greetings, Robert also knew that the young business genius in front of him, the super rich was definitely a man who had no profit and could not get up early. He was the first to ask with a smile.

"Then, Mr. Smith, what can we do for you?"

"Ha ha, it's a good thing." With a smile on his face, Andy reaches for a stack of documents handed by the assistant in the black round neck slim ol suit and hands them directly to Robert diamond.

Robert looks at Andy curiously with a smile on his face, takes over the document, scans it quickly, and asks uncertainly, "you want to..."

"Yes, I want to use Tottenham Hotspur club as a mortgage to borrow from you. I'm sure your bank won't refuse it? " The smile on Andy's face became more and more brilliant, and his bright eyes looked at each other.

"Of course, it's our pleasure. I don't know how much Mr. Smith is going to lend."

"A billion pounds!"

"This..." Robert diamond frowned slightly. He didn't think that Tottenham club was not worth so much money, but that Barclays Bank's cash flow was already stretched. Under the impact of the current financial crisis, other British banks turned to the government, as the only bank that despised this and publicly said that it was not optimistic about the prospect of making the government a major shareholder of the bank. Barclays could run the risk of cash shortages in the short term if it is pulled out of £ 1bn.

Andy saw a frown on the faces of all the people at Barclays Bank across the street. He couldn't help but smile and say, "what's the matter? Is there any difficulty? "

"No problem!" Robert diamond looks at Andy's meaningful smile, but he is full of heartache. However, as a Premier League club with no debt and excellent profitability, Tottenham are undoubtedly very high-quality assets, especially the new stadium plan, which makes Tottenham the hottest club in the near future. The loan amount of 1 billion pounds is really not much.

"Ha ha, that's good. As a bank that hasn't received the government's investment support in such a serious financial storm, and still operates at a high speed and expands, it's worthy of my trust. So I will come to seek loans directly without hesitation, and it didn't disappoint me!" Andy is not stingy about his value and praise.

All the people at Barclays Bank look at their president with solemn eyes. The people present undoubtedly know their bank's situation very well. Now the president has promised Andy Smith's loan without hesitation. There is no doubt that they are suspected of taking risks. Everyone knows that the young man in front of them is the one who needs the most cash, but this is the one who needs the most cash People came to the door to seek loans in person. There was no purpose. They didn't believe it.

What his subordinates can think of, as President Robert diamond naturally can think of, is that because he thinks that the young man with a smile on his face is not a kind person, so he will not hesitate to accept the loan request of the other party, he does not want to cause the other party's deep-seated misfortune because of a refusal, such as the trust crisis of investors, leading to the running wind Risk and so on, he still knows some shameless means of Andy Smith's people. He doesn't want to let the stock price which has plummeted by 70% flash again!

Now that we have reached a consensus, we will soon enter into the negotiation on loan interest rate between the two sides. Andy looks at his staff and the people of Barclays Bank with a straight face and a smile. Although he doesn't know why the big boss wants to loan and what he wants to do with the loan, since the big boss decides that, it must have his intention. They are all hands The next thing to do is to strive for the best interests of the boss.

Amal glanced curiously at Andy Smith, who was sipping his coffee and waiting for the result of the negotiation. To be honest, he suddenly received a phone call and rushed to Gaia company to join him. He didn't know what the young super rich was going to do. However, it seems that the role of the lawyer team is still to sign the loan contract.

It seems that Andy doesn't want to waste too much time on the issue of interest rate. When the pressure reaches a certain percentage and Barclays Bank bites to death and doesn't give way, Andy, who has been in a leisurely state, puts down his coffee cup and directly makes a decision and agrees.

Robert Raymond's pupil slightly shrank. Although the interest rate of loan to the other party was very low, it was not the lowest. I thought the other party would continue to talk, but I didn't expect that the other party didn't have it. This is an extra 12 million pounds a year. The other party agreed so easily. At this moment, his heart began to be more suspicious. In front of him Young people are not good people who can let others take advantage of them!Interest rate determination, even if Robert Raymond is full of doubts, he can only smile at his subordinates and Andy's subordinates, and the lawyers start to make contracts, because there are no problems and disputes, and the contracts are made very quickly.

"Pa!"

After Andy's signature pen signed his name, he gave a loud knock on the document, which was a bit abrupt in the quiet meeting room. Everyone saw Andy's sunny smile, closed the folder, handed it to Amar beside him, and smiled at Raymond. "The text message is coming. It seems that the money has arrived."

Andy smiled and squinted, took out the mobile phone in his pocket, unlocked it, opened the unread message, looked at it, smiled and smiled at the same smile, but Raymond, who had some doubts about his eyes, shook it, and then put the lock screen back into his pocket.

"Happy cooperation!" Raymond smiled. As he was about to stand up and shake hands with Andy, Andy's smiling hands crossed more and more. He put them on the conference table. Before he would stand up, he said, "don't worry, Mr Raymond. I have a business to talk with your bank. Do you have any interest?"

"Oh?" Robert Raymond's heart was thumping, his face was still smiling, but his eyes became a little gloomy. As expected, he still came. How could this insidious and cunning hungry wolf let people take advantage of him? "I don't know what business it is?"

"I know that you are raising funds in a planned way. I wonder if you would like to welcome my investment?" Andy grins and smiles. His white teeth shine in the sun.
