v3 Chapter 1067： Fat meat that is not easy to compete

Because the suburban manor is a certain distance from the City of London, even if Xia Yu and others set off earlier, when they arrived at the headquarters of the Bright Fund Company, it was already 10:02 in the morning, and they spent more than one on the road. hour.

As soon as I got out of the elevator, I ran into George Berkeley, who immediately greeted Xia Yu in surprise.

"Boss, good morning!"

"George, long time no see, you seem to be in good spirits!"

Xia Yu walked out of the elevator, looked at George Berkeley, and said with a slight smile.

George Berkeley immediately replied wittily: "Because of the boss, you are back. This is the most pleasant thing today. What a pleasant surprise!"

Xia Yu laughed dumbly and hadn't seen him for a while. George Berkeley's kung fu is good!

He didn't intend to entangle these details, and asked: "George, it looks like you are in a hurry now?"

George Berkeley shook his head quickly and said, "Boss, it's just a matter of work. Don't worry, I'll accompany you to the office first."

Xia Yu didn't decline either. The entire company must be the most important thing for him. In the past half of the morning, he had to hurry up and learn more about the situation.

Then he nodded and said, "Let's go!"

After that, Xia Yu took Elena and his bodyguards to his office, and George Berkeley quickly followed.

As soon as he arrived at the office, Xia Yu asked George Berkeley to bring him the company's development and assets.

Henry couldn't sit still, and after his sister told him not to leave the company, she turned around in the company.

Before long, George Berkeley came in with a file box, which he had just taken out of the safe.

"Boss, last month I went through a comprehensive review of the company's assets. This is the company's log and a brief list of assets."

After speaking, George Berkeley handed the file box to Xia Yu.

"In addition to the things you reported to me on the phone before, are there any more important things that happened?"

In order to save time, Xia Yu asked while opening the file box and took out the files inside.

"Recently, there is also one thing that is very important. It is the privatization of the telecommunications industry. Now it has reached the second critical period. I am working **** this."

George Berkeley thought for a while and said.

Xia Yu just opened the file and wanted to browse it. When he heard this, he moved for a while, concentrated his attention, raised his head to look at George Berkeley, pondered for a moment and said: "I remember you told me that the government approved it last month. The new "British Telecommunications Act" was adopted. On the 1st of this month, the government led the spin-off of postal and telecommunications, establishing British Telecom and Royal Mail, and at the same time abolished British Telecom's monopoly on communication network operations and services."

"So, the government is now preparing to establish a second telecommunications company in China, right?"

George Berkeley nodded and said: "Yes, according to the news I got from the government and the news from Duke Howard, the government is now preparing to establish a new telecommunications company."

"Moreover, in order to speed up efficiency, the Prime Minister has privately said that a new telecommunications company will be established within half a month."

"I had already called Duke Howard yesterday, and I am going to meet with him this afternoon to discuss how to compete for this company."

After thinking a little bit, Xia Yu said, "Is there a lot of pressure on this company now?"

George Berkeley nodded heavily and said solemnly: "Yes, this company is different from the Great Eastern Telecom Company that we took down before. Everyone knows that the domestic telecom market in the UK will have a very good prospect, so for this company Many people in the company have ideas."

"And I asked the Duke Howard. He told me that the Bank of Barings is no longer eligible to compete, because Bank of Barings already holds 20% of Dadong Telecom. The government believes that Bank of Barings is not strong enough to support the two telecoms. Company development."

"Moreover, the privatization of telecommunications companies is to break the monopoly and rejuvenate the British telecommunications sector. Only by falling into healthy competition can the British people gain benefits and allow British telecommunications companies to go out of the country."

"This time, the government also needs a bank as the core to support the development of a new telecommunications company. A new telecommunications company does require huge investment."

"So now we are facing a difficult problem. Although Duke Howard and Prince Philip are also interested in new telecommunications companies, our forces cannot be concentrated and we lack a bank entity."

"Although we still have Standard Chartered Bank and Royal Bank of Scotland, they are not shareholders. It is difficult for us to compete with stronger banks such as Lloyds Bank and Barclays Bank."

From George Berkeley's explanation in such detail, Xia Yu can understand the difficulty of it.

There are too many big families in the UK. Last time, in order to compete for the Great Eastern Telecom Company, he, Duke Howard, and Prince Philip cooperated in a raid, and the government took out 51% of the shares. Twelve percent was taken away by others.

But this time, they are likely to fight on their own. After all, the common interest body, the Bank of Barings, has already lost the qualification to compete in advance.

As for his Standard Chartered Bank and Royal Bank of Scotland, the Roshill family had not been cleaned up. Although he was greedy for new telecommunications companies, he still did not lose the interests of the bank.

Especially the Royal Bank of Scotland, he has less than two-thirds of the equity. He welcomes the Duke Howard and Prince Philip to join but the equity cannot be from him!

If it's the Rohill family spit out equity to give it!

Having said that, even the Royal Bank of Scotland and Standard Chartered Bank cannot compete with Barclays Bank, National Westminster Bank and Lloyds Bank.

According to the information in the "Banker" magazine of his Financial Times Group, among the top 500 World Bank banks, the British banks are ranked from top to bottom. Barclays Bank, National Westminster Bank, HSBC Holdings and Law Firm Ed Bank.

Standard Chartered Bank and Royal Bank of Scotland are a bit far apart.

Even if the strength is insufficient, the background and behind-the-scenes relationship chain is far inferior to these banks.

Behind the Barclays Bank are the Rohill family and some younger brothers of the Rohill family.

Behind Lloyds Bank is the royalist family, and Duke Howard is one of the shareholders.

Behind the National Westminster Bank and HSBC Holdings are also a lot of old big families, a lot of jazz.

Thinking of this, Xia Yu felt a sense of relief.

In just half a month, there is not much room for operation and the operation is not difficult.

For a time, he couldn't think of a practical way.

Shaking his head slightly, clearing the irritability that had just emerged, he said lightly to George Berkeley, "I see."

After speaking, he did not speak any more, and looked down at the document in his hand.

George Berkeley did not ask any more interestingly, waiting quietly for Xia Yu's next question.

"Sand...Sand...Sand..."

As he kept turning pages, Xia Yu absorbed the information on the paper into his mind.

Gradually, the reality of the Bright Fund continued to be pieced together in his mind.

A smile gradually appeared on his face.

PS: I said that I can't stay up late, and I wrote a little bit more, everyone rest early, I can't hold it anymore, good night!
