v3 Chapter 1499： The enemy's skills are poor, so use dirty tricks!

Chapter 1499 The enemy's skills are poor, so they use dirty tricks! (first update)

The information disclosed by the Royal Bank of Scotland is like thunder on the ground.

The first to jump was Myron Barrett, the current chairman and president of National Westminster Bank.

at this time.

The senior executives of the National Westminster Bank who heard the news had different thoughts. When passing by the chairman's office, some people subconsciously stepped lightly and glanced at the closed chairman's office.

Inside the office, the atmosphere was tense.

Myron Barrett and his angry son Ron Barrett are negotiating urgently.

With the support of Myron Barrett, Ron Barrett joined the National Westminster Bank a long time ago. Today, he is a director of the bank, and concurrently serves as the vice president and directly manages the credit department.

"Father, the shareholding ratio of the Royal Bank of Scotland is so high that it is very close to 50%. With the strength of the Royal Bank of Scotland and the Bright Fund behind it, it is difficult for us to stop it."

"Are we losing NatWest?"

Ron Barrett asked anxiously, looking at his father who was pacing back and forth.

Seeing that his father did not answer for a long time, he continued to ask: "Father, it has been almost twenty days, and the support promised by the Rothschild family has not yet arrived. Is it because they are incapable of supporting us?"

Hear the word Rothschild.

Myron Barrett paused, and looked at Ron Barrett suddenly, his tone full of indignation: "Don't mention the Rothschild family to me, if Jacob Rothschild will support us, You will not allow Yinruida Group to acquire the equity of our bank, but lend us money to acquire it!"

"Jacob Rothschild said it nicely. He introduced me a powerful ally. I was deceived by him!"

"Look at the equity acquired by Yinruida Group, it is basically held by people who originally supported us."

"It's not the equity of shareholders connected to the Rothschild family. How much has the Yinruida Group acquired? Isn't it all acquired by the Bright Fund?"

"You said, Yinruida Group can be regarded as an ally?"

"If I get to the end, maybe my current position will become Peter Wallenberg!"

Ron Barrett was stunned by his father's series of questions. It took him a while to recover, and asked dryly, "Then what should we do?"

"As the largest shareholder of Royal Bank of Scotland, with such a high shareholding ratio, the EGM can definitely be held."

"If RBS acquires some more shares or wins over some shareholders, the voting rights will easily exceed 50%, and re-election of the board of directors is an unstoppable process."

Myron Barrett remained silent for a long time. He silently took out a cigarette and lit it. He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows and looked at the gray sky, lost in thought.

Until the whole cigarette is smoked.

Only then did he turn his head to look at Ron Barrett, and said slowly: "Our family's liquidity cannot be moved, and it won't do anything to acquire equity."

"Let's get ready to change the court."

"No matter what, let's try to keep the equity held by our family as much as possible."

"Of course it would be better if the RBS takeover failed..."

…

Just when Barrett and his son were having an urgent discussion.

Peter Wallenberg, who was far away in Switzerland, was buzzing when he heard the news.

It took half a minute to come back to his senses.

Immediately afterwards, he picked up the encrypted phone and called Jacob Rothschild.

After a long time, the phone was connected.

Jacob Rothschild's tired old voice came from the microphone: "Peter, you want to talk to me about the National Westminster Bank, right?"

Peter Wallenberg immediately said into the microphone: "Yes, Jacob, so far

, I have only acquired a total of 16.29% of the shares of National Westminster Bank, which is far behind the Royal Bank of Scotland! "

When speaking, Peter Wallenberg was so excited that the veins in his old hand holding the microphone burst.

"16.29%... Actually, this ratio is not too low..." Jacob Rothschild's voice came again from the microphone.

As Jacob Rothschild said.

It has only been sixteen days since they gathered together on the night of January 23rd to discuss joining forces!

In 16 days, it acquired 16.29% of the shares of National Westminster Bank from scratch.

Speaking of this achievement, even a giant who is proficient in mergers and acquisitions like Goldman Sachs will give great admiration.

This is definitely piled up with money, and it costs a lot!

But who let the Wallenberg family lose the upper hand?

Before the Wallenberg family intervened, Bright Fund had secretly acquired 24.18% of the shares of National Westminster Bank.

It's just a one-time announcement this time!

"Jacob, even if this ratio is not low, the gap from the Royal Bank of Scotland is too big!"

"Jacob, how much equity does your Barclays hold?"

"3.72%!"

"..."

"Then even if Myron Barrett and I join forces, the equity held by the three of us is only 32.2%!"

After another exchange, Peter Wallenberg's mood improved, but he was still very heavy.

According to this ratio, it is not far from the self-insurance line, but the gap with the Royal Bank of Scotland is still huge.

What's more, he has other worries in his heart.

Myron Barrett, the current chairman of National Westminster Abbey and the original largest shareholder, may not necessarily fall to them.

Even Myron Barrett was and is an ally of the Rothschild family!

Peter Wallenberg put himself in his shoes.

If the Royal Bank of Scotland promised himself that he would not be able to move his position as chairman as long as he turned to the other party, he might really agree.

After all, the knife is already on the neck, and any allies are useless!

If Myron Barrett defected. UU reading

That's what the Wallenberg family and the Rothschild family should think about how to survive the pressure and keep their interests.

It seemed that he could see the urgency of Peter Wallenberg through the phone line. Jacob Rothschild comforted: "Peter, you should be steady first, don't give up easily, now find a way to acquire as many shares as possible, and we will also will help you."

"And I have an immature method, not sure if it will be successful..."

Peter Wallenberg, who was listening, was shocked, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, and hurriedly asked: "Jacob, what can you do, tell me quickly!"

There was silence on the phone for a while.

Just when Peter Wallenberg wanted to ask for a second time, the voice finally came out again: "From the political level, the reason is that the merger of the Royal Bank of Scotland and the National Westminster Bank will destroy the British banking industry that has always been maintained. The good competitive atmosphere will bring a devastating blow to the British banking industry, so that the government will stop the acquisition!"
