v3 Chapter 885： The enemy of the enemy is the friend

"Boom boom boom..."

A series of rushing footsteps came from far and near in Darhu Town, Murray District, Darhu Town, Scotland, awakening the stunned Barritt Bahrain.

Barrett Ballin followed the sound and found his son Bradley Ballin walking towards him with solemn expression.

Combined with the events of this period, he had a guess in his mind.

He stood up and asked in a complex mood: "Bradley, is there a result of the bank's ownership?"

Bradley Bahrain just walked up to him, nodded with a complicated expression, sighed and said, "Yes, father."

Barrett Bahrain was shocked and asked calmly: "Let's go, who will take over? Is it Barclays?"

Although the Bank of Bahrain is controlled by the Bahraini family, it is listed after all, and most of the bank’s assets belong to the public, and the assets belonging to the Bahraini family are no longer sufficient to offset losses.

Therefore, the Bank of Bahrain was forcibly taken over by the Bank of England. Barrett Bahrain had long been conscious and prepared to be taken over.

Just being taken over by someone else, he doesn't want to see the Bahrain Bank being taken over by the Roshir family!

Thinking of what Carter Howard had told him, Barrett Bahrain's heart surged again, flushing on his wrinkled face.

Bradley Bahrain did not see the abnormality of his father. He shook his head and said in a puzzled manner: "It is not Barclays Bank. The Bank of England has held a press conference. After voting, it agreed that Barings Bank should be funded by Rock Fund A consortium consisting of, Jiuding Bank, Bright Fund and Black Rose Capital Corporation took over at a pound price and assumed all the bank’s debts."

Barrett Bahrain stood up abruptly and asked again with an incredulous expression: "Not Barclays?"

Bradley Bahrain shook his head decisively and said: "No, Barclays Bank’s proposal only received four votes and was not passed. The only proposal passed was the proposal of a consortium headed by Rock Fund."

After speaking, he said angrily: "Father, I think all this is a conspiracy of the Howard family and the Bright Fund. They opposed us in the futures market, shorted our bank's stock in the stock market, and now defeated Barclays Bank and took over us. Bank of Bahrain, they are the ultimate beneficiaries, they must have done it!"

Barrett Bahrain shook his head with a wry smile and sighed.

If Carter Howard hadn't visited him, perhaps he knew the result, and he would think like his son.

But after seeing the evidence presented by Carter Howard, he already knew the truth.

Although the Howard family and the Bright Fund are the gainers, it can only be said that the benefits were snatched from the Roshir family. If the Bank of Bahrain were not pitted by the Roshir family, there would be no such thing as it is now.

Carter Howard visited him personally and had already made it clear that he wanted to hate but couldn't hate it.

"Father, what's the matter? Isn't it them?"

Seeing that his father's expression was wrong, Bradley Bahrain frowned and asked.

Barrett Ballin sat down again, sighed and said, "It's not them, it's the conspiracy of the Rohill family."

Bradley Bahrain's eyes widened and he looked unbelievable: "How could it be the Rohill family?"

"It's them!"

After Barritt Bahrain finished speaking, he got up and went to a locked drawer, took out a brown paper document bag, and returned it to his son.

"There is strong evidence here. Before you came back, Duke Carter Howard came here. He brought these here."

Bradley Bahrain opened it quickly and took out a thick stack of materials to browse.

As he kept browsing, his face kept changing.

After a long time, Bradley Bahrain finally watched, he suddenly raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot, and he said in hatred: "Father, Curtis Budd is a traitor, George Monroe is also an accomplice, and Luo The Hill family, we must go to the court to sue them!"

Barrett Bahrain shook his head helplessly and sighed: "It's useless. These evidences are enough to let us know the truth, but they are not enough to become evidence for prosecution. There is no such thing as Curtis Bard and George Monroe. Paper evidence of the Rohill family."

Bradley Bahrain was taken aback, his fists clenched, his teeth clenched, and his heart was full of resentment. After carefully recalling the information he had just read, he had to admit that what his father said was right.

The two points of the presumption of innocence and the never suspected guilt are enough to make their proceedings fail.

Although they are now logically presuming that the Rohill family is playing a ghost, the law is in favor of the defendant. The defendant does not need to provide evidence to prove his innocence, and their subjective opinions cannot be used as evidence to establish facts.

If the lawsuit cannot be won, filing a lawsuit will only outweigh the gains.

What's more, the Bahrain family is now destined to lose the Bahrain Bank. The Bahrain family without the Bahrain Bank is no longer qualified to provoke the Lowhill family without official help.

"Then father, can we just forget it?"

Bradley Bahrain asked unwillingly, looking at his father tightly.

Barrett Bahrain was silent for a long time, and slowly nodded: "Yes, we can't knock down the opponent at once, we can only lower our heads temporarily."

Speaking of this, Barritt Bahrain paused, his eyes turned cold. Firmly said: "But this does not mean forgetting hatred. The top priority is to make the family stronger again. The Roshir family prays that there will be no crisis, otherwise the time of their bad luck is our time for revenge!"

Bradley Bahrain nodded angrily and responded, "I see, father."

"What about the Howard family and the Bright Fund?"

Barrett Bahrain thought for a while and said: "They snatched Bahrain Bank from the Roshir family. The relationship between the two parties must be very bad. Now that we have decided to hostile the Roshir family, then the Howard family and the Bright Fund can no longer offend. Up."

"I understand, I will help them take over the Bank of Baring smoothly." Bradley Baring said with a mixed feeling.

"Well, just do it..." Barrett Bahrain sighed.

...

The cooperation of the Bahrain family really surprised George Berkeley, but this situation is undoubtedly the best.

In just two days, the Bahrain Bank, which has a history of 218 years, was acquired by a consortium headed by Rock Fund for a symbolic price of one pound.

In the new Bank of Barings, Locke Fund holds 35%, Jiuding Bank holds 25%, Bright Fund holds 20%, and Black Rose Capital holds 20%.

The day after the acquisition, the Bank of Barings faced a major change in blood. Among them, Curtis Bard and George Monroe were dismissed directly, and their henchmen were also dismissed. The former President of Barings Bank, Peter Niels, offered to submit his resignation. Obtain board approval.

The new president is Brian Pittman, a vice president hired from Lloyd Bank, who was appointed by Xia Yu.

Although Duke Carter Howard did not know why Xia Yu wanted to poach him, based on his trust in Xia Yu, Duke Carter Howard used his own face to pry people over.

Brian Pittman can be favored by Xia Yu, of course there is a certain reason.

In the original trajectory, Lloyds Bank suffered heavy losses in the Latin American sovereign debt crisis, with its asset scale ranking the lowest among the four major commercial banks in the UK, and its capital base has become quite weak.

However, after Brian Pittman became president of Lloyds Bank in 1983, he quickly changed his strategy and used extremely clever business methods to integrate a series of banking businesses and develop new businesses. It only took 15 years in 1998. In 2015, Lloyds Bank was built into the world's largest bank by market value, with a peak market value of 68.7 billion pounds at that time!

For this reason, Brian Pittman has an extremely famous title-the most brilliant banking integration wizard!

Now Bahrain Bank’s business really needs to be reorganized and integrated. Brian Pittman’s takeover happens to be able to drastically reform. With the full support of the board of directors, Bahrain Bank can definitely quickly re-emerge.

When Brian Pittman took office, the Bright Fund immediately acted and through a series of transactions, the Bank of Barings asked the futures contract for the burden.

Then the Duke Carter Howard platform assured the whole society that the Bank of Bahrain would resume normal operations and all business cooperation would be carried out normally.

And secretly there was a gossip that Black Rose Capital, one of the shareholders of Bahrain Bank, belongs to the royal family.

As a result, the confidence of depositors increased greatly, and the long queue of queuing to withdraw money quickly disappeared.

The prestigious Bright Fund in the capital market also announced that it will cooperate fully with the Bank of Bahrain to rebuild private and public funds. The investors of the Bank of Bahrain have the right of first refusal. Wait and see for a while.

A series of measures directly stabilized the market's confidence in the Bank of Barings. Although the assets of Bank of Barings are still being lost, the rate of loss has fallen sharply and is gradually decreasing.

Seeing this situation, Jacob Rohill was very angry, but he had to give up his plan to target the Bank of Barings.

No way, who asked them to find out the background of Black Rose Capital!

Although the capital of the Rohill family is stronger than the royal family, considering the influence of the royal family on the British people and the upper class, Jacob Rohill can only die.

What's more, the shareholders of Bahrain Bank include Bright Fund and Jiuding Bank, both of which are Xia Yu's enterprises. Now they plan to maintain a good relationship with Xia Yu, so naturally they can no longer move Bahrain Bank.

Jacob Rohill had a thousand words in his heart, but in the end they could only turn into a helpless sigh.

s: In the new year, I wish you all a happy family, good health, success in your wishes, smooth work, abundant financial resources, and all the best!
