I Want To Be a Rich Man on Hong Kong Island

The Kaila family issued another announcement: at a price of 50% premium, the acquisition of Barclays Bank's shares should not be less than 50%;

For a moment, it was like dropping a "little boy" in the British financial world, which caused a huge repercussions.

Rothschild family

William Rothschild was no longer angry but fearful;

"What if we launched an anti-takeover with each company controlled by the family?"

When everyone heard the words, they didn't have any happy expressions, but an inexplicable sadness.

Chuck Rothschild said: "We managed to hide it with great difficulty. If we come to the fore again, the previous decades of effort will be wasted! Those families and financial groups who regard us as enemies will find opportunities to form a group Attack it. So, Patriarch, let's make peace!"

Therefore, the core members of the Rothschild family did not expect that the Keira family would attack Barclays Bank;

Therefore, at the beginning, it did not strengthen its controlling stake in Barclays Bank, but instead focused on Standard Chartered Bank.

If we go to strengthen the equity of Barclays Bank now, there will be no advantage at a premium of 50%;

The 70% premium may be successful, but everyone is not sure that the Kaila family will raise the price again;

After all, the Rothschild family thinks that the Keira family is jealous!

But when it comes to suing for peace, how did the Rothschild family bear this shame!

William Rothschild said without anger: "Nonsense! Barclays Bank has announced the suspension of trading, and we only need to issue an announcement so that those who own shares in Barclays Bank will not sell their shares, so that they can relax." The current situation. Wait for us to mobilize funds and issue an anti-acquisition!"

Everyone fell silent, the Rothschild family was caught in a dilemma this time;

It’s not that there is no funds to launch an anti-acquisition, but that it doesn’t want to surface again;

But if you don't oppose the takeover, why are you still begging for mercy from a woman?

downing street

Thatcher was listening to the secretary's report on the details of Barclays Bank. After listening to the secretary, he said to the secretary: "What do people outside think about this bank war?"

The secretary said cautiously: "Many government officials are still dissatisfied with the Rothschild family.

I think that when the Keira family acquired Standard Chartered Bank, they should not have done it quietly with a third-party acquisition! "

Hearing this, Thatcher pondered;

The British all know that they have a great relationship with Keira, so they will not blindly choose to favor Keira, after all, they are the prime minister;

That's why I asked the secretary, the British political circles, and even the royal family what they think of this malicious competition between the two parties!

Hearing that everyone sympathized with Kayla more, Thatcher felt relieved;

This matter should be over!

As the prime minister of a country, he does not want financial chaos under his rule.

In Thatcher's view, it would not be a good thing if the Keira family really controlled Barclays Bank;

And the good sister Keira may not really want to control Barclays Bank, but more because she hopes that the Rothschild family will withdraw from Standard Chartered Bank.

Thinking of this, Thatcher said: "The party the day after tomorrow, are the two parties invited?"

The secretary quickly said: "They are all invited! And they are directly invited by William Rothschild, the patriarch of the Rothschild family, and Ms. Keira."

Thatcher nodded, thinking to himself, just be a peacemaker for once!

In this stage of change, a stable environment is very important!

What's more, the Thatcher government attached great importance to finance, but paid less attention to the real economy!

This time it is related to the largest bank in the UK, and the government has to intervene!

....

At the same time, Keira was concerned about the process of acquiring Barclays.

As the head of family investment, Peter Lynch also participated in such an important acquisition this time;

Wu Guangyao once said to his family: "Maybe Peter Lynch is not as capable as Robertson and Ray Dalio (maybe), but he is his most trustworthy partner!"

Based on this evaluation, Peter Lynch is second only to the family CEO Morse, who knows the most investment secrets of the Wu family;

And Morse, who has been with Wu Guangyao for decades, is very trustworthy.

"So, the Rothschild family is determined to compete with us?" Keira said calmly.

Peter Lynch thought for a while and said: "At the same price, they have an advantage; therefore, we currently only hold 15% of the shares of Barclays Bank. I estimate that they have increased their holdings by more than 15%. Including the original shares, it is at least 40% of the holdings! You see, do you want to raise the price again to completely shock them!"

Peter Lynch knew Wu Guangyao's attitude towards this matter, so his tone was so 'arrogant'!

Keira waved her hand and said, "No need! I think my good sister is going to intervene in this matter, I'd better give her face! After we can't reconcile, we will launch a Jedi counterattack. At that time, either he will die or I will live!" "

Kayla has made up her mind that if the Rothschild family does not withdraw from Standard Chartered Bank, then they will directly acquire Barclays Bank at a premium of 100%, and their shareholding will exceed 50% in one fell swoop;

At that time, the law will be used to force the Rothschild family to give up their dominance.

Peter Lynch nodded. As a core member of the Wu family, he naturally knew that the purpose of the family this time was not to really control Barclays Bank;

After all, it takes a long time to digest a standard Standard Chartered Bank!

However, if someone touches the bottom line of the family, they can only stand up and refute!

 …

A financial evening hosted by the government, held in early May.

Thatcher was high-spirited, and the "privatization" and "de-substantialization" of the economy led by her made great achievements and was well received by British society;

Therefore, her prime minister has naturally been affirmed by the government and the royal family.

But at this evening party, Thatcher knew that he had to calm down the two groups of people who disrupted the financial market.

Therefore, Thatcher asked the secretary to invite Keira and William Rothschild to come to him.

"I would like to be a peacemaker, and I implore the two of you to put aside your prejudices and work together to maintain the financial stability of the UK!" Thatcher said while looking at the elderly William Rothschild.

William Rothschild was a little upset. Although the prime minister was doing a peacemaker, his eyes were fixed on him, which was undoubtedly partial.

But it’s okay to be unhappy. Although the Rothschild family has become bigger, they can’t ignore the Prime Minister who represents the government;

Moreover, the Rothschild family doesn't want to continue anymore, so let's be a smooth sailing boat!

"We don't want to maliciously compete with Barclays, but after all, Ms. Keira started it!"

Keira immediately said: "Mr. Rothschild seems to have forgotten that it was Barclays Bank that first intervened in the acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank. We are just protecting ourselves!"

Seeing that the two sides are about to quarrel again, it is bound to alarm other people;

Thatcher quickly said: "Okay, I know everything about you! What do you think, the Kaila family has already mastered Standard Chartered Bank, so they don't want to fight for Barclays Bank; similarly, since Standard Chartered Bank does not welcome Barclays If the bank takes a stake, then Barclays will completely withdraw from Standard Chartered Bank. How about taking a step back and returning to the starting point?"

At this moment, Thatcher's eyes were somewhat murderous, staring at William Rothschild, and occasionally glanced at Keira.

"Okay! Since the Prime Minister has agreed to make peace, we will have peace talks as soon as possible!" William Rothschild had no choice but to agree first.

"Yes!" Keira said with an expression of being convinced of the Rothschild family.

The government's mediation is just a neutralizing effect and will not affect too much;

Therefore, the next negotiation between the two parties is the real key!

Kayla's side wants Rothschild to leave Standard Chartered Bank completely, leaving no shares, but wants to keep shares in Barclays Bank;

The Rothschild family naturally hopes that the Keira family will withdraw from Barclays Bank completely, and they also want to retain some shares in Standard Chartered Bank;

From this point of view, negotiation is the key!

Even, there will be some cold wars!
