Chapter 1424 One Pound

   Stayed in Ukraine for more than half a month. When the first group of experts and their families arrived in Beijing on a chartered flight, Xia Jingxing set off for the UK.

   After arriving in London, Xia Jingxing met Stephen Hirst, who came to discuss business, in the Vision Capital office on the 49th floor of Canary Wharf Tower.

  The CEO of RBS, who took office last year, looks in good spirits.

   This is because the financial crisis is over and the Royal Bank of Scotland has stepped out of the shadow of bankruptcy. As CEO, Stephen has withstood the test and has been praised by all walks of life, and the pressure has eased all of a sudden.

  Xia Jingxing remembered that this guy came to him in a hurry just a few days after he took office last year, hoping that Vision Capital would take over the shares of Bank of China held by the Royal Bank of Scotland.

   Stephen was like an ant on a hot pan at that time, and now he has finally regained a little British gentleman style.

  Stephen put down the coffee in a gentle manner and said, "Daren, thank you very much for your help. If it hadn't sold the 2 billion pounds of Bank of China shares, I don't think Royal Bank of Scotland would have gotten out of the debt crisis so quickly."

   "Mr. Hurst, I think this is only a trivial factor. The Royal Bank of Scotland's ability to get out of the debt crisis depends more on your wise leadership."

   After saying with a smile, Xia Jingxing picked up the coffee on the table and took a light sip.

   Stephen laughed dryly, and then looked at Xia Jingxing with a straight eye, "Daren, have you made a lot of money on this investment?"

   "Actually, they didn't make much money. They sold 10.809 billion shares to the Renaissance Industrial Investment Fund at HK$1.7 per share, which is about 4.26% of the total share capital of Bank of China.

   At present, the share price of Bank of China's H shares is hovering between HK$4.5 and HK$5, which is a few cups of coffee money. "

   Looking at Xia Jingxing's understatement, Stephen only felt a pain in his flesh.

  Sheet, I'm wrong!

   At the beginning of the year, when the three-year lock-up period expired, the Royal Bank of Scotland jumped off the building and sold its shares of Bank of China like avoiding the plague.

  For fear that there would be no agency to take over, Stephen asked Xia Jingxing for help with a shy face.

   In order to convince Xia Jingxing to help, Stephen also reached a deal with Xia Jingxing.

   I thought Xia Jing would jump in anger after the act, but I didn't expect the clown to be himself.

  Stephen choked angrily: "Daren, the coffee you sell is quite expensive. I only drank two cups and made less money... Well, it's almost 4 billion US dollars."

  Xia Jingxing looked at Stephen with a smile, how can there be so many regret medicines to sell in this world, I will earn you 4 billion US dollars, please drink two cups of coffee, it is almost even, what are you struggling with!

   The second general of Heng Ha sitting next to Xia Jingxing, Li Yaozu and Liu Hai both contempt the British guy in front of them, they can't afford to lose at all!

  At the beginning of the year, the financial tsunami swept the banking industry all over the world. Who dared to take action at that time?

   At this critical juncture, Mr. Xia stepped forward, waved his hand, and tens of billions of dollars were spilled out like this. Shouldn't he make this kind of money for his courage and courage?

Seeing that Xia Jingxing didn't answer, Stephen made fun of himself and said with a sigh, "Daren, your eyes are so poisonous, I heard that you also took over Bank of America Merrill Lynch, UBS, JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, and Allianz. The shares of China Merchants Construction and other banks held by financial giants have invested tens of billions of dollars before and after, and the returns are unimaginable.”

  Xia Jingxing smiled, why didn't you say that at the beginning of the year, all the foreign financial giants who had fled the Chinese banking industry frantically took me as a scapegoat?

   However, it is quite cool for him to be a big head. In less than a year, he has earned more than 10 billion US dollars.

The   Rejuvenation Industrial Investment Fund has been in operation for more than a year, and so far it has invested less than 20 billion funds, and more than 80 billion funds are idle.

   In this case, asset allocation must be carried out, in the form of long, medium and short-term investment to match the consumption of investment funds to achieve the best state of asset allocation.

   The asset allocation arranged by Xia Jingxing was unusual. At the beginning of the year, he took over the shares of the four major banks that were being sold by foreign investors, which greatly benefited the stock price rebound.

   Among them, the share price of Bank of China has increased significantly, nearly tripling from the beginning of the year, while the share prices of the other three banks have risen slightly, but they have all doubled.

   Calculated, the 10 billion US dollar investment in the four major bank stocks by the Renaissance Industrial Industrial Investment Fund, the net profit reached between 12 billion US dollars and 13 billion US dollars.

  The rate of return is not too high, but the absolute value of the profit is very impressive.

   If it continues like this, the 100 billion-level industrial production investment fund for rejuvenation will invest, and I am afraid that the amount of funds will increase from 100 billion to 200 billion.

   Obviously it is an industrial capital with slow investment results, but it takes into account the characteristics and yield of hedge funds.

   For all this, I have to thank international friends for their help!

  Xia Jingxing decided to let the Fuxing Industrial Investment Fund take action to support the four major banks. On the one hand, he received an invitation from China Investment Corporation to help, and on the other hand, he made some small transactions with several major foreign financial giants.

   equals to earning money, and also getting two favors by the way.

  For example, Stephen, the CEO of Royal Bank of Scotland in front of him, although Xia Jingxing made money from their bank, their bank still has to remember Xia Jingxing's goodness.

   "Mr. Hearst, let's talk about business. We had an agreement a year ago."

   Stephen sighed in his heart, nodded and said, "I know, I came to see you today to fulfill the agreement between us.

  Liverpool Club is currently overwhelmed by debt, and the two major shareholders, Gillette and Hicks, have both been out. Royal Bank of Scotland, as Liverpool's largest creditor, after communicating with other creditors, we can now represent the entire creditor committee to deal with Liverpool Club.

   In other words, Darren, if you want to win the Liverpool club, then your current negotiating opponent is me! "

  Xia Jingxing glanced at Stephen, who had a serious expression, and sneered: "What opponent! Mr. Hearst, we are partners, or the kind of partners who signed an agreement.

   Needless to say, I want Liverpool Club. "

   "Then what is your offer?"

  Xia Jingxing said with a look of surprise: "What offer? Oh, I understand, all the debts belong to me, and then I will pay a symbolic one pound."

   "Daren, you can't do this, you look too ugly."

  Xia Jingxing leaned over to look at Stephen, and said in a very serious tone: "Mr. Hearst, don't forget, we had an agreement."

   "I know there is an agreement, but you have earned 4 billion US dollars through the transaction of Bank of China shares. Do you still want to get a Liverpool club for free?"

   "I don't care. We have an agreement that the additional condition for the RBI to take over the Bank of China shares held by the Royal Bank of Scotland is to sell Liverpool Club to us."

   Seeing Xia Jingxing's aggressive questioning, Stephen's tone softened suddenly, "Daren, if we insist on making a deal like this, those English football hooligans may think that we are operating under the shadows and belittle their beloved club."

   "This is after we close the deal, I'll tell them to shut up.

   Now that Liverpool has become negative equity, with debts exceeding the club's net worth, no matter how you assess it, this is a stinky piece of shit.

We are willing to take all the debt, and spend huge sums of money to rebuild the team, build new stadiums, bring jobs and new hope to the city of Liverpool, I think no fan, no Liverpool citizen, no British citizen will refuse. , would find it unreasonable. "

  Stephen said lightly: "Zhu, a football-loving entrepreneur in China, said that he would buy Liverpool for 800 million pounds."

   "Zhu? Is it Zhu Jun? He is just blowing up the cannon, and his entire net worth is less than £800 million.

  His game company has been beaten down by my game company in recent years, and this year, he lost the Chinese agency rights of "World of Warcraft". If you inquire a little in China, you will know that the kid is finished. "

   Stephen was silent for a moment, then said: "Daren, can't we really add a little more money? For example, the interest on debts, liquidated damages."

   "I can't be taken advantage of, the debt is as much as it should be, and I won't miss you a penny.

   And you can get the money right away, you have to have confidence in my cash flow. "

  Stephen took a deep breath and said, "Okay, Liverpool is yours, when will we sign?"

   "After you have cleaned up the flies first, we can officially take over."

  Stephen was a little speechless, the guy on the opposite side must be paying attention to everything secretly, otherwise he wouldn't know so much about Liverpool's situation.

   The two American Liverpool shareholders expelled by Royal Bank of Scotland were unwilling to be swept out of the house, and they were expelled empty-handed. They are now suing Liverpool Club and Royal Bank of Scotland in the United States, London, England and other places.

  Since Xia Jingxing didn't want to get his hands dirty, the Royal Bank of Scotland could only continue to be the villain.

   "No problem, you'll hear good news soon."

  Xia Jingxing picked up the coffee and gestured to Stephen, smiled and said, "Then I'll wait for the good news."

  Stephen left in a hurry with his entourage.

  Xia Jingxing sneered at the back of the group of people leaving, since I said I would prostitute for free, I would not pay even a single pound more.

   No, I still paid a pound!

  Unfortunately, the prostitution plan has not yet been completed, and it is still a little less charming than Professor Wolf.

   Continue to train and strengthen the prostitution technique!
