v3 Chapter 796： Xia Yu's request

"Mr. Lowhill, I actually wanted to get in touch with your family a long time ago, but I have never had the opportunity. I was very surprised when I received the invitation from your family the day before yesterday. It just happened to be very important in the city these days. So I can only give the location without authorization. I'm really sorry."

As soon as he sat down, Xia Yu said apologetically, with a seemingly sincere attitude.

Of course, this is just a scene. In fact, he hadn't been too easy these two days.

Jacob Rohill didn’t care, and said with a smile: “I can understand. I’ve heard of Mr. Xia’s name a long time ago. My cousin Charles told me about you. You have worked together several times. He said you are very atmospheric."

Xia Yu smiled: "Thanks to his admiration, I have worked with Mr. Charles Rohill several times before and the process was very pleasant."

Jacob Rohill nodded and said meaningfully: "That's good. In fact, anyone who has worked with our Rohill family knows that we are a very reliable partner."

"Haha! It's really reliable, can it be unreliable if you use a dog chain to tie people directly?"

Xia Yu sneered repeatedly in his heart.

There was an expression of approval on his face, and he nodded: "Yes, Mr. Rohill, I also look forward to working with you, of course, the premise is a win-win situation."

Now Xia Yu has started digging.

Jacob Rohill heard Xia Yu's meaning, he smiled, and directly said, "Mr. Xia seems to have something in his words?"

Xia Yu was surprised and shook his head to deny: "No, I have always been sincere when dealing with friends."

Jacob Rosier pondered for a while, nodded and said softly: "Mr. Xia is right. Only sincerely with each other can friendship last."

"I think we should be able to become friends!"

Xia Yu smiled and said, "This is what I hope."

"Mr. Lowhill, what is the matter with you asking me to come today? Hope not to embarrass new friends!"

Jacob Rohill shook his head and said, "Of course not."

"Actually, Mr. Yue Xia came today with the main purpose of getting to know Mr. Xia. Now this purpose has been achieved."

"The secondary purpose is to cooperate with Mr. Xia. We want to acquire 5% of the shares of Royal Bank of Scotland held by Mr. Xia. As a basis for cooperation, we will assist Mr. Xia to successfully acquire Royal Bank of Scotland. In addition, Barclays Bank will share some resources to accelerate the rise of Royal Bank of Scotland."

"It only needs 5% of the equity, which is actually not much. What does Mr. Xia think?"

Xia Yu leaned back and looked at Jacob Rosill for a few seconds, his smile gradually reduced, and asked indifferently: "Mr. Rosill, before that, I want to ask a question first."

Jacob Rohill nodded and said, "Of course!"

Xia Yu looked into his eyes and asked, "I heard from my subordinates that Barclays Bank has been acquiring shares in Standard Chartered Bank and Royal Bank of Scotland for the past 20 days. I don't know how much you have acquired?"

Jacob Rohill and Xia Yu looked at each other, pondered for a long time, and slowly said: "The current shareholding ratios are 15.4% and 36.1% respectively."

Xia Yu suddenly smiled. He shook his head and sighed, "Mr. Lowhill, do you know? In order to harvest the fruits, I spent more than a year planting fruit trees. I never disclosed the news, and picked them when the fruits were ripe. In the process, Barclays Bank appeared. Do you know what I am feeling?"

"If it were you, how would you feel?"

Xia Yu's sudden ridicule, Jacob Rohill could bear it, but the young man who came with him could not bear it.

As the leader of the Roshir family, Jacob Rosill is sought after everywhere, but now he is taunted by a young man who is younger than him, which is an insult to the Rosill family!

"Mr. Xia, many banks hope to cooperate with Barclays Bank, and even hope to be acquired by Barclays Bank, but we don't need it. Standard Chartered Bank and Royal Bank of Scotland are two listed public banks. Are you only allowed to buy?"

For this angry young man, Xia Yu just glanced at him and then shifted his gaze, looking at Jacob Rohill with interest, as if he wanted to see his reaction.

I saw Jacob Rohill's face sinking, and he said solemnly: "Philip, it seems I shouldn't bring you here."

The face of the young man named Philip changed, he wanted to argue a few words, opened his mouth, and finally did not have the courage to speak, bowing his head and sulking in life.

Jacob Rohill apologized and said: "Mr. Xia, I'm really sorry. Philip is my nephew. He has a bad temper. Please forgive him for his rudeness."

Xia Yu smiled slightly and said nonchalantly: "It's okay, I can understand."

What is understanding?

Philip Rohill felt more angry when he said this, but he didn't dare to vent, he could only lower his head to cover his emotions.

Jacob Rohill’s attitude has changed and he seems to be no longer kind. He said lightly: "Mr. Xia, although Philip has a bad temper, he is right in one sentence. Since Standard Chartered Bank and Royal Bank of Scotland are listed companies , Then anyone has the right to buy, right?"

Xia Yu nodded, "Of course, that's correct."

"So I don't plan to pursue what happened, just let it go, but why should I sell equity to you again?"

Jacob Rohill shook his head slightly and said: "Mr. Xia, the Royal Bank of Scotland owns part of the rights to issue British pounds. You don't think you can really buy this bank?"

"Even if you get the acquisition by chance, then you will have a lot of trouble."

"But if Barclays Bank becomes an important shareholder of Royal Bank of Scotland, we can all solve this problem."

"We just need to acquire another 5% of the equity and increase the shareholding ratio to more than 40%."

Xia Yunoyu said: "Barclays Bank is very strong, but changing to Lloyds Bank can also solve this problem. Barclays Bank seems to be not irreplaceable."

Just when the atmosphere was a bit frozen, Xia Yu suddenly smiled and said: "Of course equity is not impossible to sell to you. You said before that we are friends. If I buy you equity, then what can you give me? ?"

"Why don't you sell the shares of Standard Chartered Bank to us?"

How could Jacob Rohill agree to Xia Yu's request? He was just to hold a portion of the equity to penetrate Xia Yu's assets and understand Xia Yu's details.

If you sell the equity to Xia Yu, then Standard Chartered Bank will become Xia Yu's private property. It is absolutely impossible for him to know the internal situation of Standard Chartered Bank. How can this work?

Therefore, Jacob Lowhill shook his head and refused: "I'm sorry, Mr. Xia, we are also optimistic about the future of Standard Chartered Bank, so we will not sell this part of the equity."

Just when Xia Yu’s face turned cold, Jacob Lowhill suddenly said: “But our Rohill family can also help you in other places. Our Rohill Bank is very strong in mergers and acquisitions. I heard that you Abbott is being acquired and we should be able to help in this regard."

Xia Yu's eyes were cold, and he looked straight at Jacob Rohill.

Jacob Rohill looked at Xia Yu calmly.

For a long time, Xia Yu said sarcastically: "Does it seem that the Lowhill family is well informed? You know that I am acquiring Abbott, so don't you know who is causing me difficulties?"

"We don't know this for the time being If Mr. Xia wants to know, we can help you investigate." Jacob Rohill pretended not to hear Xia Yu's words. Said with a smile.

Xia Yu couldn't help sneering in his heart, helping with the investigation? Isn't it just a scapegoat?

Jacob Rohill said that, didn't he just want to show him the muscles of the Rohill family?

He shook his head and refused: "This is no longer necessary. We have entrusted Merrill Lynch Bank to help with the acquisition. If there is still trouble, we will seek help from Morgan Stanley. I have worked with them several times. satisfaction."

"I heard that the Lowhill family has a strong influence in the UK, but I haven't had a deep experience yet. I wonder if Mr. Rohill can let me see it?"

"Oh, yes, this is also the basis of cooperation. If you can realize my wish, then I am happy to sell the 5% stake in Royal Bank of Scotland to Barclays."

Although Xia Yu's deliberate mention of Morgan Stanley made Jacob Rosier unhappy, Xia Yu's request attracted his attention.

Maybe this is a good opportunity.

It's not that Xia Yu doesn't stop importing oil and salt, it depends on what he asks for!

I'm not afraid of him asking, I'm afraid he won't want anything!

Jacob Lowhill asked: "Mr. Xia, please tell me, there are very few things we can't do in Britain."

Xia Yu smiled and nodded and said: "Then I can rest assured, I actually want to acquire a company."

"Mr. Lowhill should know that I am more interested in the media. This company is the Mirror Group newspaper company!"
