v2 Chapter 606： 3 banks (1/2)

Tying Gerald Pat to the chariot made Xia Yu feel more at ease.

This means that in British politics, he finally has a **** that can give him some help at many critical times.

Although he has a good relationship with the Howard family, the Howard family is too strong, and Xia Yu is not sure to tie him to the chariot for the time being, so when he draws on his power, he has to beware.

In the face of interests, no matter how good the relationship is, it may break. As the owner of a consortium, he must be cautious and cautious in this regard, and give himself more back and bargaining chips, so as not to be caught by the weakness and cause irreversible loss!

He only believes in his own strength!

Relying on the sky and the earth is worse than relying on yourself!

For the next period of time, Xia Yu put his mind on the Bright Fund.

His career is still in the early stages of development. He seems to have huge funds now, but it is not enough to put it in front of a real consortium. Every penny should be used as much as possible.

There is nothing wrong with the strategy of investing in holding shares of major British companies.

But there are too many large companies in the UK. Not only British companies are listed on the London Stock Exchange, but there are also large companies from various European countries. Xia Yu's 3 billion US dollars can also bubble up on it.

Moreover, he has an infinite wealth of memory and puts the money in the stock market to maintain its value. His goal is to expand his influence from the beginning to the end, or to lay an opportunity for future acquisitions. .

Just like the previous acquisitions of shares in companies such as Centric Group, Southern Scotland Power, and the British National Grid Corporation, there is such a strategic plan.

As long as you catch a company that will multiply tenfold in the future, you will make a lot of money.

Therefore, when the Bright Fund wanted to invest in bank stocks, Xia Yu also participated and selected the stocks of three companies.

They are HSBC Holdings, Standard Chartered Bank and Royal Bank of Scotland!

HSBC Holdings, which has several subsidiaries, including Hong Kong HSBC Bank, has a huge influence.

At this time, HSBC Holdings can rank among the top five banks in the UK, both in terms of capital and market value.

Although the shares of HSBC Holdings are relatively dispersed, these shares are in the hands of major British families or consortia. He heard that Duke Howard has a small portion, so if he wants to acquire HSBC Holdings, even if the capital is sufficient, he will face the United Kingdom. This is not something that money can solve for the major family consortia in China. With his current strength, connections, status and influence, it is too difficult.

But this does not prevent his Bright Fund from becoming a shareholder of HSBC Holdings. It would be ideal if he could hold 5% of the equity and win a seat on the board of directors.

Fortunately, HSBC Holdings has long been listed and has absorbed 5% of the equity in the secondary market. It is still possible to buy it at a large price.

As long as Bright Fund becomes a director of HSBC Holdings, Xia Yu will be able to use the energy of HSBC Holdings to accelerate its own rise in the future.

If one day, his strength is extremely strong, it may not be impossible to covet HSBC Holdings.

The second one is Standard Chartered Bank, which is much worse than HSBC Holdings. Now the total capital can't even enter the top ten positions of British local banks. If it is a single round of British domestic strength, let alone the top ten of British banks, the former Twenty may not get in.

Not to mention those foreign banks.

Standard Chartered Bank, also known as Standard Chartered Bank, was formed by the merger of two British overseas banks, namely the British South African Standard Bank and the Indian New Jinshan China Standard Chartered Bank in 1969.
