v3 Chapter 792： Bank acquisition blocked

Jacob Rohill's face grew gloomy as he listened, but he kept deducing in his mind.

For a long time, he shook his head and said: "We missed the best opportunity to control him, unless he made a big mistake later or created a trap to lead him in."

"Before his funds are exhausted, his self-protection ability is the strongest."

Evelyn Jacobs nodded in agreement: "Yes, then we continue to look for opportunities?"

Jacob Rohill nodded without thinking: "Of course, it's rare to find such a person and can't give up easily."

"Isn't his Polaris Capital company buying companies in the United States? It seems to be eyeing Abbott. The market value of this company has reached 2.8 billion US dollars. If he wants to acquire it, at least 3 billion US dollars."

"We don't know his funds now, but conservatively estimated that it is six billion US dollars. According to his habit, he doesn't like leveraged buyout companies. If he spends all the money, he can get out of his funds just by acquiring Abbott. half!"

"If there are more of these, his funds will be exhausted and his threat will be reduced."

Evelyn Lowhill smiled and said: "According to his trend, it will definitely attract the attention of those American consortiums. If a person of yellow race dares to grab cakes in the United States on a large scale, I believe those two traitors will not tolerate it. "

"The two traitors can instigate the European consortium and families to encircle us. Of course, we can also ask him to cause trouble for them. If he can win the best, there will be chaos in the United States. Of course, the probability of him winning is almost zero. At that time we will extend a helping hand to him again, I believe he will not refuse."

The two of them thought very well, but they didn’t know that Xia Yu was not eating dry food. The Tiger Fund and Qiaoshui Fund alone were very hidden. It was fine that Xia Yu tried not to go. Even if he did, he was very careful. Therefore, the Rohill family did not discover the relationship with Xia Yu.

As for the amount of Xia Yu's funds, they far underestimated it.

Not to mention them, no one in the world would believe that Xia Yu could have more than 20 billion U.S. dollars of working capital. This is simply a fantasy.

Jacob Lowhill smiled and said, "Evelyn, this plan is more complicated. We will improve it when that happens. Before that, we have to disrupt his layout. We can't wait any longer. Even if it arouses his disgust, it doesn't matter."

"The U.S. capital pyramid has already taken shape. As long as he wants to gain a foothold in the U.S., the higher he goes, the more noticeable he will be. Conflicts with established American consortia are inevitable."

"He is a wise man. A wise man naturally understands the choice between emotions and interests. When he is about to fall into the abyss, even if he hates us, he will hide his emotions. Ask us to save him!"

Evelyn Rohill nodded in agreement and thought about asking: "If you disrupt his layout, we have three places in the UK where we can do it. They are Royal Bank of Scotland, Standard Chartered Bank and Jaguar. Which one? Or three together?"

Jacob Rohill thought for a while and directly ruled out Jaguar Motors: "Don’t stop Jaguar Motors. We can’t stop it. Now Leland Motor Group has been acquired, and Sir William Lyons has been persuaded by Duke Howard. Now, the chance we blocked is too small."

Speaking of this, he paused, and then said: "Moreover, this acquisition was approved by Ms. Margaret, and the parliament has passed. Duke Howard is also a shareholder of Rolls-Royce Motor Group. We cannot offend any of them. ."

Don't look at the Rohill family standing at the top of British capital, but in fact they are under great pressure.

Although the Roshir family is also a nobleman, it only holds a baronial title at the bottom, and is not a member of the ancient noble alliance. Coupled with the behavior of the Roshir family at its peak, the ancient British family has a strong The Er family is very vigilant.

Although the Lohill family has cooperation with some large families, it is only limited to business, and more is competition and confrontation.

In the modern business environment, cooperation and competition coexist, and the confrontation in secret has never stopped.

The Howard family is among the first few of the British dukes. They are strong and the top level in the ancient aristocratic alliance. Although the Rohill family is not afraid of the Howard family, there is really no need to offend them for no reason.

Evelyn Lohill nodded and said with a smile: "He is really great. He gained the friendship of Ms. Margaret during the campaign and was recognized by Duke Howard."

Jacob Rohill nodded slightly and said with emotion: "So he has unreasonable maturity. Even the elites cultivated by a large family with all their strength can't reach his level at this age."

After sighing, Jacob Lowhill continued to talk about business: "Well, let's talk about business first."

"The Bright Fund is registered in the United Kingdom. The Banking Act introduced last year cannot prevent it from acquiring Royal Bank of Scotland and Standard Chartered Bank. However, these two banks have the right to issue notes and the Bank of England has the right to intervene. They have cleared the relationship and secretly Large-scale acquisitions of equity, if we want to succeed at one time, we must stop it!"

The full name of the Banking Act mentioned by Jacob Rohill is the "British Banking Act 1979". The formulation of this law can be said to be an important turning point in the history of British financial control. It is the first complete one in the history of the United Kingdom. Banking law.

The reason why such a banking law was enacted was because the financial crisis broke out from 1973 to 1975, which caused severe damage to the British financial industry. Among them, foreign banks bought British banks on a large scale, so the British had to protect their banks and strengthen the banking industry. Supervision.

Fortunately, it is still only the first complete banking law. If in 1987, the United Kingdom passed the "Banking Act 1987", the law stated that "before any investor intends to acquire more than 15% of the equity in the Bank of England, Must be approved by the Bank of England".

At that time, the Bright Fund will not be able to buy banks so unscrupulously.

Having said that, the banks acquired by Bright Fund are also special. Standard Chartered Bank is better, that is, it has the right to issue Hong Kong dollars, which is less important.

However, the Royal Bank of Scotland has the right to issue British pounds, and the Bank of England can justifiably intervene. Whether it is willing to intervene depends on the strength and connections of the acquirer.

George Berkeley had already taken care of the relationship before, and Elena had also used the Howard family's relationship. There was no risk.

But now it's easy for the Rohill family to make a difference.

However, Evelyn Lowhill did not agree with Jacob Roshere’s idea of ​​stopping He shook his head and questioned: "Jacob, I don’t think we need to stop at the beginning. This is a good opportunity to penetrate his career. If he can accept it, then we can proceed to the next test."

Jacob Rosier was taken aback, and instantly understood his cousin Evelyn Rosier's plan, and nodded: "Your idea is better. Now he holds the deadly handle of the two banks, but we don't Not afraid of this risk, you can rush to acquire a part of the equity and become his partner."

"But we also have to show our strength."

"Now Standard Chartered Bank's equity has been almost acquired by Bright Fund, and it must have exceeded the absolute holding line. We can acquire as many as we can. I believe he will not fight for capital injection with us as long as he is wise."

"If the Royal Bank of Scotland, get at least 40% of the equity, see how he chooses, try his attitude!"

"If he doesn't know how to share with us, then let his acquisition go through!"

...

On this day, Jacob Rohill and Evelyn Rohill discussed for several hours to perfect the plan to the level of detail.

That afternoon, the Rohill family moved.

The executives of Barclays Bank, the largest bank in the United Kingdom, came forward to approach the shareholders of Royal Bank of Scotland and Standard Chartered Bank.

In the choice between Bright Fund and Barclays Bank, there is no doubt that all shareholders who did not sell their equity chose Barclays Bank.

George Berkeley, who had been running smoothly, immediately realized that something was wrong after hitting the wall several times.

When he inquired carefully, the news that he got made his face greatly changed. He didn't dare to take the slightest chance, so he immediately called Xia Yu on the other side of the ocean.
