Chapter 1800 Seeing the Poor Dagger 4

As for the British businessmen at the moment, they are all like ants on a hot pan; they are very tormented! Shen Bi has already made a gesture, and they must follow up; if the gap between the two sides is too large, it will be difficult to explain.

Our ancestors relied on the strength of the British Empire to develop. Now that the country is in crisis, we must stand up, otherwise we will be traitors. Simon Keswick looked at John Swaria next to him. At this moment, the two need to communicate in advance; they must be unified.

Although to a certain extent, the overall strength of Jardine Matheson is stronger than Taikoo; but the gap is not particularly large. There is a big difference in the business fields of the two parties; more is reflected in the revenue.

HSBC has already stated its position, and it is impossible for the two of them to stay out of the matter.

Of course, John Swaria knew what Simon Keswick meant, so he took the lead in saying: "Shen Bi doesn't want to leave a way for people to survive. HSBC is a bank; the cash flow is abundant; we don't have that much money to buy government bonds."

"But now it has been put on fire, if you don't advance, you will retreat; many people in the country are watching, it seems that many plans will be postponed."

There was a saying in Xiangjiang before, "Jardine's face, Taikoo's silver paper": It means that Jardine's face is great; Taikoo has a lot of silver.

Although Jardine Matheson is more famous in Xiangjiang, Simon Keswick has to admit that Jardine may not be comparable to Swire in terms of funds that can be mobilized.

Jardine is mainly concentrated in the real estate field, which requires a large amount of funds to hoard land; while many industries in Swire have very good cash flow, and the funds in the account have always been maintained well.

It is obvious that he wants to test him and see what Jardine Matheson will do next; then Swire can make corresponding plans.

Simon Keswick said with a wry smile: "Now is not the time to care about personal gains and losses, you must show an attitude; Xiangjiang people can not care about the British Empire, but we can't."

"If Britain loses the war at this time, it will become very difficult to raise its head in the future."

"With the current domestic economic situation in the UK, even if we go back, we won't have a good development; besides, the domestic cakes have already been distributed, otherwise our two families would not have come to the Far East back then."

"Naturally, we must do our best to help the country defeat the Argentines; otherwise, our lives will definitely not be easy!"

It is not difficult to see from the words that Simon Keswick has already made a choice. But the old guy still left a tail, how much British treasury bonds he bought; he didn't disclose it.

It is indeed right to help Britain defeat the enemy; but many things must be done according to one's ability.

Besides, even if it is a foreign company, it does not belong to them; there are other shareholders, and shareholders' ideas must be taken into consideration. Even within the family, it is impossible to unify opinions; they all need to be appeased.

Being the head of a business, especially a large one, is not as easy as you think. A domineering president who can make decisions on anything; even if the company loses money, it doesn't matter, it only exists in film and television dramas.

John Swire thought for a while and said: "Mr. Keswick's words are indeed very reasonable; HSBC bought 500 million pounds; it has basically reached its limit; Jardine and Swire; compared with HSBC, the cash flow is much worse. "

"Ming people don't speak dark words. It is best for us to be unified; this is also an explanation for the country."

In fact, Simon Keswick also has a similar idea, to a certain extent at the moment; the interests of Jardine and Swire have already reached unity. The two are together, even if the country is not satisfied; it is not easy to go too far. The law does not blame the public, not to mention they did not violate any laws.

Simon Keswick said with a smile: "Mr. Swire has a point; I don't know how much money you are going to spend on buying national debt."

According to the original plan, John Swire was going to take some money to show off. But I didn't expect Shen Bi to stud directly; if Taigu still acted according to the original plan at this moment, he would definitely be compared.

John Swire said with a smile: "HSBC has already made a gesture, and everyone will be eyeing us at this moment. 200 million pounds, what do you think!"

To be honest, I originally planned to use 50 million pounds to buy national debt; now I have no choice but to swell my face and pretend to be fat.

Hearing this, Simon Keswick didn't say much; originally he was only going to spend 30-50 million pounds.

HSBC is indeed larger than Jardine Matheson in terms of assets, but it is far from ten times the difference. 500 million for HSBC and 50 million for Jardine; not to mention the current governor, Wilson, even the country will not be satisfied; don't think about getting any resources in the future; at present, it can only be rushed to the shelves.

Simon Keswick said helplessly: "At this moment, our two families have no other choice, so we will do as you say!"

He didn't keep the two of them waiting for a long time. After Shen Bi was dealt with, Wei Yixin was looking for someone all the time, and when he saw Simon Keswick and John Swire together, he walked over without hesitation.

Because of Bao Zixuan's relationship, it was already impossible for rich Chinese businessmen to respond positively; so they could only find a way from the British businessman. This group of people used a lot of resources from the British Empire before, and now it's time for them to pay back.

Wei Yixin said with a smile: "Simon, John; I didn't expect you two to hide here!"

Shen Bi and Bao Zixuan, like Wei Yixin, have an Oxford background, so it is normal to call them seniors and juniors. But Simon Keswick and John Swire are Cambridge graduates; they have no intersection.

After all, he is an old man who has worked in Xiangjiang for many years. Although he has been behind the scenes before; but many British business tycoons have served as government officials or consultants; there are still some intersections!

Not to mention that they are friends, at least they can be regarded as acquaintances; it is more friendly to call each other by their first names.

Simon Keswick said with a smile: "Your Excellency, you are joking, the two of us are just idle and bored."

Although the strength is not inferior to the opponent, and to a certain extent, he has an advantage; but after all, he is the governor of Xiangjiang and must be respected.

Wei Yixin was not polite, and said directly: "The situation of the British Empire; I think both of you are very clear. Now it is necessary for all British people to unite, have money to contribute money; have strength to contribute; I don't know what you two think about it!"

Isn't this obvious! You all said that if you have money, you will contribute money, and if you are strong, you will contribute your strength; the age and physical fitness of the two of them; it is impossible to fight the enemy. In addition, he is a super rich man, so he naturally has to spend money to support the country.

John Swire said very seriously: "Swire Pacific is willing to spend 200 million pounds; it will be used to purchase British government bonds. Although it is not a lot, this is all the funds that Swire Pacific can mobilize."

With the strength of Taigu Matheson, 200 million pounds; it is not enough; but the words must be beautiful, at least it is an explanation to both parties.

Simon Keswick also followed up and said: "Jardine Matheson will also spend 200 million pounds to buy British national debt. When the country is in crisis, as a citizen of the empire, the Keswick family is duty-bound."

Wei Yixin was very satisfied with the performance of the two of them; it seemed that Shen Bi wore a very good headband; at critical moments, he could only count on the British, and Chinese businessmen never cared about the life and death of the British Empire.

So far, four companies have expressed their positions; HSBC 500 million pounds, Jardine 200 million pounds, Swire 200 million pounds, and Black Cloud 250 million pounds. It can be regarded as setting the tone for this banquet. "

At the same time, another unexpected visitor came by Bao Zixuan's side. After seeing the person coming, Bao Shoufu didn't think of it either; after all, he hadn't seen him for too long.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Mr. Sanderson, we haven't seen each other for a long time; what are you up to lately!"

Bauhaus-Sanderson, the successor of the Standard Chartered Bank holding family; he is also an alumnus of Baoshoufu.

In fact, Bao Shoufu still knows a thing or two about the other party's dynamics. Because he performed very well in Xiangjiang, he was able to win a part of the right to issue banknotes from HSBC, not everyone can do it!

The combination itself is a direct line of the family, and was directly transferred back to the British headquarters; preparing for the real succession!

But who would have thought; the old Sanderson, the grandfather of the Bauhaus-Sanderson, died before the layout was completed; the death was very sudden.

The biggest backer passed away suddenly, and his father had a very low sense of presence in the family and had no power; as a junior, Bauhaus-Sanderson wanted to surpass his uncles to take charge of the family power; the difficulty can be imagined.

After a fierce struggle, neither side finally took advantage of it. It directly led to a serious decline in the performance of Standard Chartered Bank, which has basically not developed in recent years.

The two sides in the struggle had to compromise, and the Bauhaus-Sanderson did not directly take over the control of the family; it was the only candidate for the next patriarch. In other words, if there is no accident; the next patriarch can only be him.

How to say where to put the grades; plus some arrangements made by the old man during his lifetime; it still has a certain effect.

The core business of Standard Chartered Bank is in London, and the patriarch is not him; there is no need to stay any longer, and he will be feared by his uncle. Bauhaus-Sanderson applied together to come to the Far East. Being in charge of the Asian business of Standard Chartered Bank, not only can you stay away from the mainland, but you can also slowly cultivate your influence; it can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

In addition, he worked in Xiangjiang for a period of time before and is very familiar with Asian business; even the current patriarch has no reason to refuse.

Although he knew the other party's situation, he couldn't express it directly; it would make people feel very bad, and he thought he was sent to monitor him; he even suspected that he had thoughts about Standard Chartered Bank.

It is normal for Heiyun Bank to expand externally, acquire and merge other banks; Standard Chartered seems to have a large scale, but as long as Bao Zixuan thinks about it; the price is really not a big problem.

Bauhaus-Sanderson said with a wry smile: "It's really hard to describe, but fortunately, the result is not bad; otherwise, there will not be many opportunities to meet Baosheng in the future."

Where does Bao Zixuan's identity and status lie? Although the Sanderson family has a long history, its overall strength is much worse than others. Of course, because of the outlets and overall layout of Standard Chartered Bank, there is still no problem in cooperating with Heiyun Group.

But if you want to establish contact with Bao Zixuan, you must be the head of the family; other people are not equal at all.

Landing a phoenix is not as good as a chicken, and has not become the head of the family; no matter how good the relationship was before, it is impossible to talk to you. People must have self-knowledge, otherwise they will easily be underestimated; at that time, they will be ashamed to hang around in front of others.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "It's not that serious, as friends; if I want to meet, as long as I have time; of course it's no problem."

It is very important for the other party to see the situation clearly; it is better to be polite, and not to appear too superior; there is no need at all!

Bauhaus-Sanderson said with a smile: "Thanks to Bao Sheng for his approval, I have been transferred back to Xiangjiang; in the future, I still have to rely on your Excellency's care!"

Although Standard Chartered Bank is not as good as HSBC, it is still a century-old company; it has a lot of outlets, especially in Europe; it is not worse than HSBC at all. There is really an opportunity to cooperate, and the richest man Bao did not refuse.

After getting an affirmative answer, Bauhaus-Sanderson is very satisfied; re-establishing a cooperative relationship with Baozixuan~www.mtlnovel.com~The goal has been achieved. In the future, it depends on whether a chemical reaction can be produced during the cooperation between the two parties.

Bauhaus-Sanderson: "Bao Sheng; I just returned to Xiangjiang from England, and the current situation is very tense; the strength of the Argentines should not be underestimated. Whether the British Empire can win the war is really hard to say!"

The people were already very dissatisfied with the news that the British fighter plane was shot down by the Argentine army; many people began to march on the streets, strongly demanding that the government send troops; to teach Argentina a lesson.

Not long after, the warship was also sunk by the opponent; when did the British Empire suffer such a loss; the people were instantly ignited, and the sending of troops to Argentina was stronger than ever! "

Of course, a large part of them are angry youths, who don't want the country to suffer a little loss; they feel wronged by themselves. But there are also some that are deliberately arranged and not entrusted inside; it is easy to cause the situation to get out of control.

Now that the decision to use troops against Argentina must be supported by the public; as a result, the United Kingdom has not been very peaceful in the recent period.

As for what Bauhaus-Sanderson wants to express, the richest Bao knows it all!

On the surface, it seems to be introducing him to the relevant situation in the UK, and then opening the topic; in fact, he wants to get some information from him!
