Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

"British Monetary Authority: The merger of Royal Bank of Scotland and NatWest will have a catfish effect on the banking industry! 》

"Ministry of Commerce: Royal Bank of England's acquisition of NatWest Bank is a normal business practice and does not involve a monopoly!" 》

the next day.

Even on Saturday, spokespersons for the British Monetary Authority and the Ministry of Commerce were interviewed by the media and responded directly to a series of questions.

This attitude caused an uproar.

Many people did not expect that only four days had passed since the report appeared on February 10th, and today, February 14th, the British government had already investigated clearly and made a clear position.

In the castle estate of the Rothschild family.

Jacob Lochier was walking in the garden, stretching his rusty muscles.

At this moment, the cell phone in the butler's bag that was following him suddenly rang.

After the butler connected, he handed it to Jacob Rocher: "Master, this is your cousin Mr. Evelin's phone number."

"Hey, Evelyn...what?"

When he got through the phone, Jacob Rocher looked relaxed and natural at first, but he froze within a few seconds, and the hand holding the phone subconsciously exerted too much force, causing veins to bulge.

"call……"

"I know, it seems we are going to lose again..."

After hanging up the phone.

Jacob Lochier immediately called Myron Barrett.

However, the call was not connected for a long time, and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense.

His instincts are indeed spot on.

Because at this time Myron Barrett was taking the initiative to call George Berkeley.

The moment he learned the news, Myron Barrett made a decisive decision to turn to the Light Consortium.

"...Okay, President Berkeley, I will leave in a moment and go to your office."

"beep!"

After hanging up the phone.

Myron Barrett sat down on the chair with a complicated expression.

Ron Barrett, who had been watching his father on the phone, couldn't help comforting him: "Father, you don't have to feel guilty. After all, this decision was made by all of us. Since the Light Consortium has really taken over the government, then it proves that Luo Xi The Er family is indeed very weak."

"We are leaning towards the Guangming Consortium at this time, but we have seized the opportunity. Otherwise, when the shareholders' meeting is held, the result will definitely not be what we want."

"I think there are now many people who did not dare to offend the Rothschild family before and will rush to sell their shares."

Myron Barrett nodded slightly: "I know, but when this moment finally comes, I still can't help but feel sad."

"Why……"

After a long sigh.

Myron Barrett suddenly remembered that the landline phone on the other side of the office had been ringing non-stop, and he couldn't help but ask: "By the way, who called the landline just now?"

"Father, I checked the phone book. It's Jacob Lochier's personal mobile phone."

"Look, do you need to call back?"

Ron Barrett asked.

Myron Barrett thought for a while, shook his head and sighed: "There's no need. Now that we know what he's going to say, and we know he can't change anything, and we've made a decision, why bother calling again?"

He gathered his mood, stood up, tidied his clothes, and said to his son: "Let's go, it's time for us to set off. Don't keep Mr. George Berkeley waiting too long. From now on, our family will have to look at the face of the Bright Consortium..."

Just as the Barretts were preparing to go to the Bright Fund.

George Berkeley was reporting the situation to Xia Yu.

It was already evening in Xiangjiang, and Xia Yu had just arrived home when he received an overseas call from George Berkeley.

"...George, since the Barrett family is willing to join us, there is no need to target them again. Let them retain their equity and let others know that joining us is the right choice. The influence of the Bright Fund can We cannot enter a period of rapid growth again, which is a very important factor.”

"We need more partners!"

"That's it, you seize the opportunity and use the Barrett family's defection as an opportunity to win over several other important acquisition plans as soon as possible."

"I'll hang up first."

After saying that, Xia Yu hung up the phone and couldn't help but laugh.

Elena happened to see it and couldn't help but ask: "Dear, why are you so happy?"

Xia Yu hugged Elena into his arms, kissed her forehead, and said with a chuckle: "It was not wrong to ask your father to take action yesterday, and the results have already come out."

"The British government supports the Royal Bank of Scotland's acquisition of NatWest Bank. George Berkeley just reported that Myron Barrett, the current chairman of NatWest Bank, is going to turn to us and ask about my attitude."

"Now Royal Bank of Scotland has acquired 45.14% of NatWest Bank."

"Together with the 12.1 held by the Barrett family, we already have 57.33% of the voting rights."

"We are sure to win the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders that will be held soon. As long as a new board of directors is elected, NatWest Bank will be under control."

"certainly."

"According to the current situation, it will be significantly less difficult for us to acquire the equity of other shareholders."

"Maybe we don't need to wait until the day when the extraordinary general meeting is held. Our voting rights can reach two-thirds. By then, no one can stop NatWest Bank from merging with Royal Bank of Scotland."

"Once the two banks merge, the two original shareholders, Barclays Bank and Yinruida Group, will have no choice but to be divided by us."

"If I were them, I would definitely choose to run away now to avoid being slaughtered later without the ability to fight back."

With a smile on her face, Elena lay quietly in Xia Yu's arms and listened to his story. Then she blinked her beautiful eyes and said softly: "Actually, my father didn't put in much effort. With the current strength and strength of the Bright Fund, It was impossible for Margaret Thatcher to refuse this powerful ally."

"I never thought that the Bright Fund, which was established in such a short period of time, would one day develop to this extent. My dear, you are really a genius."

His wife's compliment made Xia Yu feel proud. He couldn't help but laugh. He scratched the bridge of her nose and said dotingly: "No matter how talented your husband is, he still fell under your skirt." ?”

"You're right, I'll reward you with a kiss."

"One is not enough..."

"I hate it, everyone is watching!"

…

The Barrett family's defection caused an uproar.

Everyone understands that this represents another major blow to the strength of the Rothschild family.

The Barrett family was once a die-hard ally of the Rothschild family, with the former taking control of NatWest Bank with the support of the latter.

But now, even if the Rohirrim family uses all their strength, they still cannot prevent the betrayal of their former iron-clad allies.

The battle for NatWest is no longer making any waves.

In this case.

Many shareholders who were originally waiting to sell the shares took the initiative to contact the acquisition teams of Bright Fund and Royal Bank of Scotland, which had been hanging on.

Just two days on the weekend.

The Royal Bank of Scotland increased its stake in NatWest to 56.38%.

Plus the 12.19% stake held by the Barrett family.

Xia Yu's voting rights have reached two-thirds!

When the Royal Bank of Scotland announced the news.

Everyone was shocked and also sighed.

The countdown to the birth of the British banking hegemon has begun!
