Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

Chapter 885 The enemy of the enemy is a friend

"Boom, boom, boom..."

A series of rapid footsteps came from far and near, in the town of Dahu, Murray, Scotland, and the Castle of Lake Bahrain, which awakened Baritt Bahrain, who was stunned.

Barrett Baring followed the sound and found his son Bradley Baring walking towards him with a solemn expression.

Combining the events of this period, he had a guess in his heart.

He stood up and asked in a complicated mood, "Bradley, is there a result of the ownership of the bank?"

Bradley Baring just walked in front of him, nodded complexly, and sighed: "Yes, father."

Barrett Baring was shocked, and asked calmly: "Tell me, who took over? Is it Barclays Bank?"

Although Bahrain Bank is controlled by the Bahrain family, it has been listed after all, and most of the bank's assets belong to the public, and the assets belonging to the Bahrain family are no longer enough to offset losses.

Therefore, the Bank of Barings was taken over by the Bank of England as a matter of course. Barrett Barings has long been conscious and mentally prepared to be taken over.

It's just a matter of being taken over by someone else. He doesn't want to see Barings Bank taken over by the Rothier family!

Thinking of what Carter Howard told him, Barrett Baring's heart surged with anger again, and a flush appeared on his wrinkled face.

Bradley Barings did not see his father's strangeness, he shook his head, and said somewhat puzzled: "It's not Barclays Bank, the Bank of England has held a press conference, and after a vote, it is agreed that Barings Bank will be funded by Ellock Fund. , Jiuding Bank, Bright Fund and Black Rose Capital took over for one pound and assumed all of the bank's debt."

Barrett Baring stood up suddenly and asked again with a look of disbelief, "Isn't it Barclays?"

Bradley Baring shook his head decisively and said: "No, Barclays Bank's plan has only received four votes, and it has not been passed. The only passed plan is the plan of the consortium headed by the Locke Fund."

After finishing speaking, he said angrily: "Father, I think all this is a conspiracy of the Howard family and the Bright Fund, against us in the futures market, short our bank's stock in the stock market, and now beat Barclays Bank and take over us. Barings Bank, they are the ultimate beneficiaries, they must have done it!"

Barret Baring shook his head with a wry smile and sighed.

If Carter Howard hadn't come to visit him, maybe he would have thought the same way as his son, knowing the result.

But seeing the evidence that Carter Howard presented, he already knew the truth.

Although the Howard family and the Bright Foundation are the beneficiaries, it can only be said that the benefits were snatched from the Roshir family. If Barings Bank hadn't been swindled by the Roshir family, there would be no such thing as now.

Carter Howard had personally visited him and had made it clear that he could not hate it if he wanted to.

"Father, what's wrong? Isn't it them?"

Seeing that his father's expression was wrong, Bradley Baring asked with a frown.

Barit Barin sat down again, sighed and said, "It's not them, it's the Rothier family's conspiracy."

Bradley Baring's eyes widened in disbelief: "How could it be the Rothier family?"

"It's them!"

After Barit Barin finished speaking, he got up and went to a locked drawer, took out a kraft paper file bag, and returned it to his son.

"There is strong evidence here. Before you came back, Duke Carter Howard came, and he brought these here."

Bradley Baring hurriedly opened it and took out a thick stack of documents to browse.

As he continued to browse, his face changed constantly.

After a long time, Bradley Baring finally saw wow, he raised his head suddenly, his eyes were bloodshot, and said hatefully: "Father, Curtis Bard turned out to be a traitor, George Monroe was also an accomplice, and Luo Hill family, we must go to court to sue them!"

Barrett Baring shook his head helplessly and sighed: "It's useless, these evidences are enough to let us know the truth, but they are not enough to be prosecuted. There is no Curtis Bard and George Monroe here. Paper evidence of the Rothier family."

Bradley Baring was stunned for a moment, his fists clenched, his teeth clenched, and his heart was full of resentment. He carefully recalled the information he had just read, but he had to admit that what his father said was right.

The presumption of innocence and the absence of any guilt were enough to make their case fail.

Although they now logically infer that the Rothschild family is doing the trick, the law is in favor of the defendant, and the defendant does not need to provide evidence to prove their innocence, and their subjective thoughts cannot be used as evidence to determine the facts.

In the case of not winning the lawsuit, filing a lawsuit will only be worth the loss.

What's more, the Bahrain family is now destined to lose the Bahrain Bank, and the Bahrain family without the Bahrain Bank is no longer qualified to provoke the Roshir family without official help.

"Then father, is that all we can do?"

Bradley Baring asked reluctantly, his eyes fixed on his father.

Barit Balin was silent for a long time and nodded slowly: "Yes, we can't knock each other down at one time, we can only bow our heads temporarily."

Speaking of this, Barit Barin paused, his eyes became cold. Said firmly: "But this doesn't mean forgetting hatred. The most important thing is to make the family stronger again. The Rothier family prays that there will be no crisis, otherwise, when they are unlucky, it is time for us to take revenge!"

Bradley Baring nodded indignantly, "I see, Father."

"What about the Howard family and the Bright Foundation?"

Barit Baring thought for a while and said, "They stole the Baring Bank from the Roshir family. The relationship between the two parties must be very bad. Now that we have decided to be hostile to the Roshir family, the Howard family and the Bright Foundation can no longer offend. already."

"I understand, I will assist them to take over Barings Bank smoothly." Bradley Barings said with mixed feelings.

"Well, just do it..." Barrett Baring sighed.

...

The cooperation of the Bahrain family really surprised George Berkeley, but this situation is undoubtedly the best.

In just two days, the 218-year-old Barings Bank was acquired by a consortium led by the Locke Fund at a nominal price of one pound.

In the new Barings Bank, Rock Fund holds 35%, Jiuding Bank holds 25%, Bright Fund holds 20%, and Black Rose Capital holds 20%.

The day after the acquisition, Barings Bank faced a major change. Among them, Curtis Bard and George Monroe were directly fired, and their confidants were also fired. Former Barings Bank President Peter Niles voluntarily submitted his resignation. Obtain board approval.

The new president is Brian Pittman, a vice president hired from Lloyds Bank, who was hand-picked by Xia Yu.

Although Duke Carter Howard didn't know why Xia Yu wanted to poach him, based on his trust in Xia Yu, Duke Carter Howard still used his own face to pry people over.

There is a certain reason why Brian Pittman can be favored by Xia Yu.

On its original trajectory, Lloyds suffered heavy losses from the Latin American sovereign debt crisis, had the lowest asset size of the UK's Big Four commercial banks, and had a rather weak capital base.

However, after Brian Pittman became president of Lloyds Bank in 1983, he quickly changed his strategy, using extremely clever business techniques to integrate a series of banking businesses and develop new ones. It only took fifteen years. In 1998 In 2008, Lloyds Bank became the world's largest bank by market value, with a peak market value of £68.7 billion!

For this reason, Brian Pittman has a very famous title - the most brilliant banking integration wizard!

Now the business of Barings Bank really needs to be restructured and integrated. Brian Pittman can take over and he can reform radically. With the full support of the board of directors, Barings Bank can definitely re-emerge quickly.

When Brian Pittman took office, the Bright Fund acted immediately, and through a series of transactions, let Barings Bank take the burden of futures contracts.

Then Duke Carter Howard stood on the platform and assured the whole society that Barings Bank resumed normal operations and all business cooperation was carried out normally.

And secretly there was a gossip that Black Rose Capital, one of the shareholders of Barings Bank, belongs to the royal family.

As a result, the confidence of depositors has greatly increased, and the long queue to withdraw money quickly disappeared.

The Bright Fund, which is famous in the capital market, also announced that it will fully cooperate with Barings Bank to rebuild private and public funds. The investors of the original Barings Bank have the right of first refusal. Wait and see for a while.

A series of measures have directly stabilized the market's confidence in Barings Bank. Although Barings Bank's assets are still draining, the rate of loss has dropped significantly, and the trend is gradually decreasing.

Seeing this situation, Jacob Rothschild was very angry, but he had to give up his plan against Barings Bank.

No way, who asked them to find out the background of Black Rose Capital!

Although the Rothschild family's capital strength is stronger than that of the royal family, considering the influence of the royal family on the British people and the upper class, Jacob Rothschild can only die.

What's more, the shareholders of Barings Bank, including Bright Fund and Jiuding Bank, are Xia Yu's companies. Now they plan to maintain a good relationship with Xia Yu, so naturally they can no longer touch Barings Bank.

Jacob Rothier had a thousand words in his heart, but in the end it could only be turned into a helpless sigh.

s: In the new year, I wish you all a happy family, good health, all your dreams come true, your work goes well, your wealth is prosperous, and everything goes well!
