v3 Chapter 852： Duke Howard

Latest website: New York John F. Kennedy International Airport, founded in 1942, was originally named New York International Airport, but because of the assassination of the US President in 1963, the airport was renamed John Fitzgerald Kennedy International Airport as a commemoration.

As one of the world's major aviation hubs, New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport is busy with aircraft operations. When Xia Yu is waiting, passenger planes can be seen flying into the sky from time to time.

Xia Yu remained patient and waited quietly.

At this moment, a group of people came out of the airport. Although the young girl surrounded by them was wearing sunglasses, Xia Yu still recognized her in an instant.

He stepped forward, greeted him with his bodyguards, and embraced the young girl who also recognized Xia Yu.

"Elena, long time no see!"

"Xia Yu, it's nice to see you again!"

Yes, it was Elena who came here.

Xia Yu called George Berkeley before and asked him to arrange an individual to come to New York to pick up the mission and bring the mission information back.

This news was known to Elena. Elena, who missed Xia Yu, volunteered to come to New York. How dare George Berkeley say no?

Then George Berkeley told Xia Yu that this happened when Xia Yu came to pick up the plane.

Hugging tightly for half a minute, after all, I felt that it was too conspicuous at the huge airport, not to mention that there were so many bodyguards, Elena struggled slightly reluctantly, and Xia Yu let go of Elena.

With a smile on his face, Xia Yu said naturally, "Elena, let's get in the car first, and go to my place to put things away."

"Well, listen to you." Elena replied softly.

Then the group boarded the car in batches, and the convoy set off to Xia Yu's manor in New York.

Jin Jiajun and others who were still in the manor saw Xia Yu bringing Elena in, and they realized that they and the others seemed to know something they shouldn't know. Although the chairman didn't say it, they made up their minds to forget about it.

After the group had dinner in the evening, all the subordinates in the group were sent to the airport.

In America, where guns are flooded, even in cities, the night is full of danger.

Although Xia Yu wanted to take Elena out for shopping, considering the actual situation, he had to regret that the time was postponed to tomorrow day.

Fortunately, the two of them have common hobbies and endless topics, but they are not boring.

After Elena played the piano, Xia Yu couldn't help applauding: "Elena, your piano skill is getting better and better. You play really well."

Elena smiled like a peach blossom: "Hehe, I will practice this piano music every day when I come home. If it is winter, it will be fine. Now there is no snowflake against the background. I played this song "Snow Dream". Still missing some artistic conception."

...

Talking and laughing, Xia Yu and Elena sat side by side on the sofa in the living room, Elena took the initiative to talk to Xia Yu about work.

"Xia Yu, I heard from Manager George, it's about futures market work, isn't it?"

Xia Yu, who didn't plan to talk about work tonight, was taken aback for a moment. When he saw Elena's serious expression, his heart warmed and he nodded and said, "Yes."

"Elena, wait a moment, I'll get something."

After that, Xia Yu got up and went to the closet, opened the door, took out the blue box that I gave to Jin Jiajun and the others in the afternoon, returned to the sofa, opened the blue box, and placed it in front of Elena.

"Let's take a look first, but for specific things, after you bring the information back, I will ask George to arrange for someone to do it. Although this is simple but very cumbersome, just let the people below do it."

Xia Yu said casually, he didn't want Elena to come forward to buy spot copper contracts and aluminum contracts. This kind of hard work and nothing to learn, let Elena suffer, so how could Xia Yu be willing.

Feeling Xia Yu's concern for herself, Elena pressed her lips lightly. After reading it, she nodded and said, "Okay."

"Xia Yu, why would the Bank of Barings suddenly short copper futures and aluminum futures?"

Xia Yu shook his head, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and calmly said: "At present, only Baring Bank knows the motive, but since it chose to oppose me, it must pay the price."

Xia Yu said domineering words in a calm tone, and Elena couldn't help but shine.

Xia Yu couldn't help but think of the fate of Barings Bank in his previous life. It was because of a major problem in the futures market that resulted in the bankruptcy of Barings Bank when its assets reached 27 billion pounds.

In this life, the bankruptcy of Bahrain is still very early, but since the Bank of Bahrain has jumped out to oppose him, Xia Yu will never let him get better, and the Bank of Bahrain will have to lose his skin if he survives.

Thinking back now, it seems that because of Duke Howard, he developed smoothly in the UK, and he really did not encounter any major setbacks, of course, he could not stand up.

This is indeed a good opportunity at present. The Bank of Barings is the first to start, and it is a normal financial struggle in itself. Even if the Bank of Barings is overturned, no one can accuse him. On the contrary, it can greatly enhance his influence and status in the UK.

"Elena, after you go back, you will tell George to tell him to short the Bank of Bahrain."

Speaking of this, Xia Yu paused and added again: "Of course, you also ask your father Sir Carter by the way. If he or Lloyd Bank are interested, you might as well cooperate together, maybe you can buy Baring Bank. Get it."

After all, the Bank of Bahrain is the designated cooperative bank of the British royal family. It is okay for Xia Yu to make a short profit, but the variables of the acquisition are too great. If Lloyds Bank or the Howard family intervenes, the probability of success can be Big, the pressure on him is also small.

Although this would give up a lot of benefits, Xia Yu didn't care. If he didn't cooperate, he wouldn't be able to get any benefits, and he wouldn't even have a chance to get a share.

"Okay, I will tell my dad immediately when I go back, I think he should be interested, Xia Yu, you don’t know, he told me more than once that you are great, when did you go to London, he would have to talk to others People thank you together. If he knows that you want to cooperate with him to acquire Baring Bank, he will definitely consider it carefully."

Elena said with a smile.

Xia Yu raised her brows and asked interestedly: "Elena, what is your father thanking me for?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a flash of light in his mind, and he remembered a pit dug for the Rohill family before.

Sure enough, Elena's words immediately verified his conjecture.

I just listened to Elena grinning and said: "Didn’t you say that the sovereign debt of Latin American countries is very risky? My father said that after detailed investigation and analysis within Lloyds Bank, the conclusion is that sovereignty has occurred. The probability of a debt crisis exceeded 90%. At the time, everyone was taken aback. After that, it took a lot of effort to transfer these lending businesses. A few days ago, I heard him tell me that Lloyds Bank is now dealing with Latin American countries. 75% of its loan business has been transferred."

"If it weren't for your reminder, when the crisis really broke out, then Lloyds Bank would definitely lose heavily."

Xia Yu smiled faintly and asked, "Elena, do you know which banks the sovereign debt business of Lloyds Bank has transferred to?"

Elena immediately nodded and said: "Of course, my father listened to your opinion. These sovereign debt businesses have basically been transferred to Barclays Bank. Now Barclays Bank is the largest creditor in Latin America and other countries."

Hearing this, Xia Yu couldn't help but laugh, secretly saying that Duke Carter Howard was strong enough, and he played a godly assist.

Many British banks in the previous life have suffered more or less losses on the sovereign debts of Latin American countriesBarclays Bank’s losses are not a few, but Lloyds Bank’s losses are even greater, which almost made Lloyd’s Deutsche Bank fell out of the ranks of the first echelon.

But in this life, Barclays Bank took over the sovereign debt business of Lloyds Bank. As soon as the Latin American sovereign debt crisis broke out, Barclays Bank would never have time to run away, and the Rohill family would be miserable.

Thinking of the tragic events that will likely occur in the Rohill family in the future, as well as Jacob Rohill's distressed look, Xia Yu is secretly refreshed.

Duke Carter Howard is so powerful, if he doesn't express it, it seems something is wrong.

But where do you start?

"Yes! This is definitely a win-win!"

Xia Yu thought for a moment, his eyes lit up, and he thought of a good idea.

PS: The update is late, I am still at work tonight, depressed
