Chapter 524： Got rich

After becoming the second largest shareholder of Huashang Bank, Wu Hongyi held a board meeting to pave the way for Xia Yu to introduce Xia Yu to the directors and shareholders of Huashang Bank.

In the meantime, I naturally introduced the identities of Xia Yu Xiangjiang Jiuding Culture Media Group and the chairman of Jiuding Financial Group.

To become a shareholder of China Commercial Bank, it is naturally a powerful Chinese family or entrepreneur in the UK. Almost all have heard of Xia Yu's name and glorious deeds, but they have seen a real person for the first time.

After that, there was a warm welcome, and at the same time, I was surprised by the relationship between Xia Yu and Wu's family.

After the meeting of the board of directors, Wu Hongyi immediately convened a high-level meeting of Huashang Bank to introduce the new director Xia Yu to the top of Yiying, and the specific process will not be discussed.

All in all, with Xia Yu's official appearance at the Chinese Commercial Bank, information about Xia Yu immediately spread to all directions. Basically, Chinese businessmen in London knew that a raptor from Xiangjiang arrived in London, and many people had different thoughts.

Of course, Xia Yu's arrival only caused a shock in the Chinese circle, but did not cause a sensation among the British. At most, only a small number of British people noticed, and the family that is really at the top of the United Kingdom did not.

After all, although Huashang Bank is said to be the most powerful bank among Chinese businessmen, there are more than 600 banks in London alone, and more than 500 multinational banks. The strength of Huashang Bank is not among the more than 100 local banks. prominent.

The blunt point is that the strength is average, and the addition of a new director is not worthy of the capital market's attention.

Unless a top newspaper announces it to the entire United Kingdom and introduces Xia Yu's information, it is estimated that it will attract the attention of the top British families.

However, Xia Yu didn't need to do this at all. Once his strength was reached, his reputation would naturally spread, and doing that would only become a clown.

While Xia Yu was busy taking a stake in Huashang Bank, Liu Xiao from Galaxy Fund and others continued to implement the plan silently.

When Xia Yu successfully entered the China Commercial Bank and finished two meetings, the work of Liu Xiao and others was nearing completion.

Xia Yu left China Commercial Bank and went to the Galaxy Fund's location on the other side of the City of London. He found Liu Xiao and others in the office.

"How is the situation?"

As soon as Xia Yu sat down, he went straight to the subject and asked.

"Boss, our funds have entered the market with 2.2 billion U.S. dollars. The first one billion U.S. dollars was used to enter the market with five times leverage, and then 1.1 billion U.S. dollars was used to enter the market with the principal. The last 100 million U.S. dollars was entered with five times leverage. Six million dollars of funds have not entered the market."

"Before entering the market, the price of London gold was 244.7 US dollars an ounce. As we accumulated 6.6 billion US dollars of funds into the market, the price of gold rose to 246.6 US dollars an ounce in a short time."

Speaking of this, Liu Xiao paused, frowned and said: "Boss, we are very careful in our actions. The funds are scattered to more than two hundred banks. The amount of funds in each bank will not be too obvious, but we feel that someone should be aware of it. wrong."

After hearing this, Xia Yu frowned and asked intently: "When did you feel it?"

"Just yesterday afternoon, when Bahrain Bank invested 20 million US dollars to buy gold."

"The two Barclays Bank and Lloyds Bank that you specifically ordered to pay attention. We only bought 10 million US dollars of gold. Most of the gold was bought from foreign banks such as Morgan Bank, Citibank, UBS. ."

Liu Xiao immediately replied.

After listening to Liu Xiao's explanation, Xia Yu breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Liu Xiao did what he said.

Fortunately, it is not Barclays Bank or Lloyds Bank that has noticed.

The Bank of Bahrain is the core asset of the Bahrain family, which has two earls, and it does not matter if the Bahrain family is aware of it.

Moreover, to be honest, for the strength of the Bank of Barings, buying 20 million in gold is not too much. After all, Barings Bank is an established bank with the highest strength in the UK. Not a problem.

But Barclays Bank and Lloyds Bank are different. Behind them are the Rohill family and the major British families. Their energy can be increased. It is not an exaggeration to say that the hands and eyes of the United Kingdom are clear.

Although all of Xia Yu’s gold orders will eventually be collected by the four major market makers through various banks, but in the face of so many multinational banks, even if the four major market makers have doubts, there is no way to check. Customer information to peers.

Therefore, buying gold from major multinational banks has the highest confidentiality and safety factors.

"Don't buy the rest of the money for the time being. When the revolution really breaks out, you will see the opportunity again, even less conspicuous at that time."

Xia Yu thought about the nearly 100 million U.S. dollars that had not yet entered the market, and then thought about it.

"understand!"

Liu Xiao and others responded together.

After pondering for a moment, Liu Xiao suddenly asked: "The boss, if this is the case, we are fine for the time being."

"It just so happened that I established a bright fund. You are responsible for helping me build it and complete it. Then you withdraw and secretly help me collect information about Rolls-Royce and the British financial and media industry. The more detailed the better, the better I can do. ."

Xia Yu thought for a while and ordered again.

"Yes!"

Later, Xia Yu left the resident of Galaxy Fund.

Although Liu Xiao and others were asked to help improve the structure of the Bright Fund, Xia Yu did not completely let go. He entrusted a headhunting company to help him hire a general manager with sufficient connections and capabilities in the UK.

It just so happened that the headhunting company had made progress and recommended five talents to Xia Yu.

In the next two days, Xia Yu interviewed one by one, and finally recruited a 37-year-old British, George Berkeley.

George Berkeley has a Ph.D. in Economics and Management from Oxford University, and has worked as a stock market trader, fund investment manager, and bank manager. He has rich experience and can easily pass the test set by Xia Yu. With a broad vision, a certain overall view, and strong contacts, he is very appreciated by Xia Yu.

Of course, the most important thing is that there are related memories of George Berkeley in Xia Yu's memory, knowing that George Berkeley will become the head of the UK branch of Goldman Sachs in the future, standing at the top of the UK financial industry.

George Berkeley will be able to reach this position in the future, and it is appropriate that a talent who has not yet fully shined, Xia Yu will certainly not let it go.

After hiring George Berkeley as the general manager, Xia Yu let him be responsible for building and perfecting the company, and at the same time mobilizing his wealth of contacts to dig out people.

It happens that the overall economic environment in the UK is not good these years, let alone the financial industry.

Xia Yu knew that after Thatcher came to power, a series of reform measures would be quite effective. Britain would gradually get out of the quagmire. At that time, the golden flowers of the financial industry would bloom again and the industry's salary would gradually rise.

So let George Berkeley offer a high salary in advance, this method is absolutely easy to use, after all, George Berkeley was attracted by Xia Yu's high salary.

Once people get busy, they feel that time flies quickly.

In a blink of an eye, it was December 26.

This morning may be due to heavy rain last night, and the sky in London was filled with fog.

On this day, the *revolution that shocked the world broke out, Iran stopped oil exports, and the major news organizations stationed in Iran sent the news back to the countries in the first place.

At noon, the British radio and television station BBC suddenly interrupted an international news. This news spread rapidly in the UK, and the capitalists responded the fastest.

The price of gold in London jumped directly from US$268.7 an ounce to US$287.5 an ounce, and with the reports of major television stations and newspapers, the news spread further and the price of gold continued to rise.

On this day, Xia Yu had been waiting in front of the TV. After seeing the news from BBC, he was completely relieved.

When he learned of the violent fluctuations in the price of gold in London, Xia Yu couldn't hide his smile at all.

Get rich!

Even before that day passed, Fuying exceeded US$500 million!
