In Gao Xian's view, developing a platform with localized resources in various economies belongs to the category of more "modernization".

Last month, that is, in February this year, after the global gold market began to collapse, Gao Xian has been paying attention, so Johnson Matthey, one of the five major gold merchants in London, began to burst out a series of serious business problems, and plans to find an opportunity to win the resources owned by this "unlucky" in the UK.

However, with the continuous accumulation of intelligence and Gao Xian's latest understanding of the UK this time, the plan has basically failed. Because the situation of Johnson Matthey bank is really too bad. The holes of non-performing loans are bigger and bigger. Even the eyelids of high strings jump. If you take over at this time, you can't get the desired benefits at all and become a "wronged big head".

The deterioration of the situation of Johnson Matthey bank even worried the officials of the Bank of England, the Bank of England. If such a top five financier in London really goes bankrupt, it will weaken the confidence of the industry, and may even spread the panic to other areas of the UK financial industry, causing a wide-ranging banking crisis. Therefore, it is now rumored that the Bank of England is brewing a plan to rescue Johnson Matthey.

However, this rescue plan does not simply give Johnson Matthey a large sum of money to tide over the current difficulties. It's no good! Instead, the Bank of England "bought" Johnson Matthey at a symbolic price of one pound, so as to give Johnson Matthey a backer and improve its credit. When the current industry trust crisis slowly disappeared, Johnson Matthey was almost "rectified", and the Bank of England finished selling what it should sell and what it should close.

In this regard, Gao Xian was disappointed. Although the value left by Johnson Matthey after it was cut off by the Bank of England should still be expected, it is not easy to estimate how long it will take.

Fortunately, Gao Xian, who was a little depressed by the latest secret information, couldn't help but cheer up. That is, in Gao Xian's view, Royal Bank of Scotland, one of the four major commercial banks in Britain, revealed the clue of the drama of competing for control. This is definitely a great opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to make at least a handful of money, and maybe even further operation.

After the end of the Second World War, the Bretton Woods system led by the United States did play a positive role in the economic recovery and development of Western capitalist countries, but by the end of the 1960s, it began to fail slowly. The specific performance of the banking industry was that there were difficulties one after another, and the Royal Bank of Scotland was one of them.

In order to tide over the difficulties, the banks of these developed capitalist countries have adopted the same countermeasures. For example, the Royal Bank of Scotland merged the National Commercial Bank of Scotland during this period to become the largest clearing bank in Scotland; Another example is the international expansion to Mexico, Venezuela and other former western colonies and Latin American countries that have benefited from the world oil crisis. For example, chase bank under the leadership of David Rockefeller has opened its offices to the Soviet Union and China on the other side of the iron curtain of the cold war.

Royal Bank of Scotland has operated by such routine. Up to now, the situation is not good, but it has been able to maintain the status of Britain's four major commercial banks. Only recently, a new situation has emerged.

Lloyds Bank, one of the four largest commercial banks in the UK, holds more than 10% of the shares of Royal Bank of Scotland and tests the board of directors of Royal Bank of Scotland on the acquisition.

Interestingly, the board of directors of Royal Bank of Scotland was indifferent to Lloyds Bank on the grounds that the acquisition was unfavorable to the business of Royal Bank of Scotland, but it had a hot feeling with Standard Chartered Bank, which is well-known in Xiangjiang.

After confirming the reliability of this secret intelligence, Gao Xian's direct response was that Standard Chartered Bank could get involved in the affairs between the four major commercial banks in Britain, so it could do it by itself.

At this stage, the share price of Royal Bank of Scotland on the London Stock Exchange is 100 pence, that is, about one pound. After buying some, in addition to selling high arbitrage, it may also gain something in the competition for control of Royal Bank of Scotland.

On the other side of Xiangjiang, Gao Xian has enough energy to ensure that he is in charge behind the scenes and let his younger brothers act as agents of interests and attack in front; But on the London side, he has to be cautious.

Of course, with the old Taoist priest of high string, this role conversion is very smooth.

After carefully calculating the resources available to him in the next year or two, the bull market of Xiangjiang stock market, the subtle impact of the future of Xiangjiang, and even the downward pressure on the economy of global capitalist countries, Gao Xian decided to use "other people's money" if it can be used, not in vain.

Therefore, Gao Xian gave an instruction to the subordinates on the other side of Xiangjiang and contacted Zhang Yuliang, the invisible tycoon in Xiangjiang, the initiator of the property dispute of the Zhang family and the current leader of Zhang.

Ye Licheng's reply was very quick. It happened that Zhang Yuliang was in London at present. It seemed that he wanted to talk to John Madden, the senior class of huidefeng.

After putting down the phone, Gao Xian pondered for a while. Both Xiao maden and Lao maden worked hard as a big class, but they didn't like the hot and humid climate of Xiangjiang River, and often lingered in London. Zhang Yuliang came to London to talk about business with John maden. Even if it was true, he couldn't escape the suspicion of quiet.

You know, the four brothers of Zhang Yuliang's generation, the above three brothers, died early, leaving behind a large group of widows and children. Zhang Yuliang, the leader, has a tough attitude to separate his family. No matter how he righteously thinks he has made great contributions to today's business kingdom of the Zhang family, the external views are negative, bullying and unkind to his widowed sister-in-law and nephews.

Moreover, Zhang Yuliang kicked the iron plate here, because Luo Decheng, an important member of the Luo Wenjin family, a family of Xiangjiang lawyers, is the uncle of Zhang Yuliang's second sister-in-law. Zhang Ercheng is not easy to bully at all. After the property dispute lawsuit broke out, the lawyer group invited by Luo Decheng to help his mother-in-law is investigating the actual property of the Zhang family's business Kingdom company by company.

In this case, Gao Xian has every reason to believe that Zhang Yuliang came to London and had to transfer the property of the Zhang family under his control.

Without much trouble, Gao Xian saw Zhang Yuliang, a money bag he didn't need in his eyes.

"I heard that the ceremony of granting Sir Gao GBE by the British royal family is rare and dignified. Sir Gao's hands and eyes are wide open, which really makes Zhang admire!" Zhang Yuliang's compliment can be easily heard. It is not only a cliche, but also shows respect.

"It's all a scene." Gao Xian waved his hand quietly and said with a smile, "Zhang Sheng is a busy man and has been working hard for business. I knew Zhang Sheng was in London, so I invited you to dinner and celebrate together."

"I just arrived in London a few days ago," Zhang Yuliang said tentatively. "Sir Gao left the British celebrities to see me. I don't know what's the matter."

Gao Xian didn't go to chew his tongue about the production dispute between Zhang and Zhang, and directly went straight to the mountain: "I just received an accurate secret intelligence that Royal Bank of Scotland, one of the four major commercial banks in Britain, should break out a battle for control, so I want to buy some shares of Royal Bank of Scotland. I don't know whether Zhang Sheng is interested in participating as a concerted actor?"

Zhang Yuliang did not doubt Gao Xian's ability to collect intelligence. He asked cleanly, "how much does Sir Gao want me to invest?"

Gao Xian replied proudly, "one hundred million is not enough, more is better!"

Zhang Yuliang grinned. Sir Gao is really a big man. One hundred million is not too small. If he can't even take out this number, he will lose his qualification to talk further.

"Sir Gao, I would like to ask if there is a more accurate prediction time for the outbreak of the battle for control of Royal Bank of Scotland?" Zhang Yuliang asked cautiously.

Gao Xian explained slowly: "Lloyd's Bank, which covets Royal Bank of Scotland, has held more than 10% of the shares of Royal Bank of Scotland. However, the board of directors of Royal Bank of Scotland opposed the acquisition and turned to Standard Chartered Bank. However, Standard Chartered Bank should not have made any obvious action in buying the shares of Royal Bank of Scotland."

Speaking of this, the smile on Gao Xian's face is meaningful, "in fact, when we have a sufficient number of shares of Royal Bank of Scotland, we can start from our convenience and affect the outbreak time of the battle for control of Royal Bank of Scotland. No big deal, I announce that I want to buy Royal Bank of Scotland!"

Zhang Yuliang nodded admiringly, "Sir Gao is a capable person to do great things. Zhang is very happy to have the opportunity to participate in this plan."

Seeing that the mouth of Zhang Yuliang's money bag opened, Gao Xian laughed with satisfaction, clapped his hands with the other party and said, "thank you for Zhang Sheng's trust. I have a hunch that this operation should not only earn a sum, but also benefit from other aspects."

Zhang Yuliang is very interesting. I don't know if it's because of this cooperation that he feels that he is much closer to Gao Xian, and suddenly turns to his own private affairs. "Does Sir Gao's income in other aspects mean that my large-scale investment in the UK can affect the judicial system over Xiangjiang, and then strive for my initiative in the property dispute lawsuit in Zhangjia?"

Gao Xian was slightly stunned, shook his head and said, "every family has a difficult Sutra. It is difficult for honest officials to break the housework. I didn't want to interfere with Zhang Sheng's family affairs, so I didn't think in this direction."

"What I mean by other benefits is that since Standard Chartered Bank can participate in the competition for the control of Royal Bank of Scotland, will Huifeng bank, which is more powerful, stand on the sidelines? You know, Huifeng bank has no less international demand than Standard Chartered Bank."

Seeing that Gao Xian didn't mean to belittle himself because of his private morality, Zhang Yuliang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Then he figured out the logic in Gao Xian's words, and his eyes flashed with the analysis: "the competition for the control of Royal Bank of Scotland, if we attract Standard Chartered Bank and Huifeng bank in Xiangjiang, there will be more room for us to operate."

Gao Xian laughed loudly, "now, Zhang Sheng has no doubt about this cooperation!"
