Chapter 524: Getting Rich (Asking for Subscription)

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

In the meantime, the identity of Xia Yu Xiangjiang Jiuding Culture Media Group and Jiuding Financial Group Chairman was naturally introduced.

To be able to become a shareholder of China Commercial Bank, it is natural that a powerful Chinese family or entrepreneur in the United Kingdom has almost heard of the name and glorious deeds of Xia Yu's "stock god", but it is the first time to see a real person.

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

After the board meeting was held, Wu Hongyi immediately convened a high-level meeting of China Commercial Bank to introduce Xia Yu, the new director, to the senior management, and the specific process will not be said more.

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

Of course, Xia Yu's arrival only caused a shock in the Chinese circle, and 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 British did not notice.

After all, although China Commercial 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, and the strength of China Commercial Bank is not outstanding among more than 100 local banks.

To put it bluntly, the strength is average, and the addition of a new director is not worth the attention of the capital market.

Unless a top newspaper announces it to the whole of Britain and introduces Xia Yu's information, it is estimated that it will be able to attract the attention of the top British family.

But Xia Yu doesn't need to do this at all, when the strength is reached, the reputation will naturally spread, and doing so will only become a clown.

While Xia Yu was busy with the matter of investing in Huashang Bank, Liu Ji and others of Galaxy Fund continued to silently implement their plans.

When Xia Yu successfully settled in China Commercial Bank and held two meetings, the work of Liu Zhen and others was also nearing completion.

Xia Yu left China Commercial Bank and came to the Galaxy Fund on the other side of the City of London, where he found Liu Ji and others in the office.

"How's it going?"

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

"Boss, our funds have entered the market by 2.2 billion US dollars, the first billion US dollars are 5 times leveraged into the market, then 1.1 billion US dollars are the principal into the market, the last 100 million US dollars are 5 times leveraged into the market, and now there are still 96 million US dollars of funds in the market. ”

"Before entering the market, London gold was quoted at $244.7 an ounce, and as we accumulated $6.6 billion in funds to enter the market, the price of gold rose to $246.6 an ounce in a short period of time. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Ji paused, frowned and said: "Boss, we are very careful in our actions, the funds are scattered to more than two hundred banks, and the amount of funds in each bank will not be too obvious, but we feel that someone should have noticed that something is wrong." ”

Xia Yu frowned after hearing this, and asked with concern, "When did you feel it?"

"Just yesterday afternoon, when the Bank of Bahrain invested $20 million in gold. ”

"Barclays and Lloyds, which you specifically ordered to pay attention to, we only bought 10 million dollars of gold, and most of the gold was bought in foreign banks such as Morgan Bank, Citibank, UBS, etc. ”

Liu Ji immediately replied.

After listening to Liu Zheng's explanation, Xia Yu breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that Liu Zheng did what he said.

Fortunately, it is not Barclays or Lloyds that are aware of it.

The Bank of Bahrain is the core asset of the Bahraini family, which owns two countdoms, even if the Bahraini family perceives something.

Moreover, to be honest, for the strength of the Bank of Bahrain, buying 20 million dollars of gold is not much, after all, the Bank of Bahrain is a powerful old bank in the United Kingdom, if you don't take care of it, it is not a problem to buy hundreds of millions of dollars of gold.

But Barclays and Lloyds are different, behind them are the Rothschild family and the major British families, their energy is great, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they have hands and eyes in the UK.

Although all of Xia Yu's gold orders will eventually be brought together to the four major market makers through various banks, in the face of so many multinational banks, even if the four major market makers have doubts, there is no way to check, and no bank will give its own customer information to its peers.

Therefore, buying gold in major multinational banks has the highest confidentiality and security factor.

"Don't buy the rest of the money for the time being, and wait for the revolution to really break out, and then you will see the opportunity to act, and then it will be even more inconspicuous. ”

Xia Yu thought of the nearly 100 million US dollars that had not yet entered the market, and thought about it and ordered.

"Understood!"

Liu Zhen and others responded together.

After pondering for a moment, Liu Ji suddenly asked, "That boss, in this case, we have nothing to do for the time being." ”

"It just so happens that I set up a bright fund, and you are responsible for helping me build and improve it, and then you will quit and secretly help me collect information about Rolls-Royce and the British financial and media industry, and the more detailed it is, the better, I will be of great use. ”

Xia Yu thought about it and ordered again.

"Yes!"

After that, Xia Yu left the location of the Galaxy Fund.

Although Liu Zhen and others helped improve the structure of the Bright Fund, Xia Yu did not completely let go, and he entrusted a headhunting company to help him hire a general manager with sufficient contacts 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 Briton - George Berkeley.

George Berkeley has a doctorate in economics and management from Oxford University, and has worked as a stock market trader, fund investment manager, head of some banks, etc., has rich experience, can easily pass the test set by Xia Yu, and I have a broad international vision, a certain overall view, and strong contacts, which is very appreciated by Xia Yu.

Of course, the most important thing is that Xia Yu has relevant memories of George Berkeley in his memory, and knows that George Berkeley will become the head of Goldman Sachs UK in the future, standing at the top of the British financial industry.

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

After recruiting George Berkeley as general manager, Xia Yu put him in charge of building and improving the company, and at the same time mobilized his rich network to poach people.

It just so happens that the overall economic environment in the UK has been bad in recent years, not to mention the financial industry.

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

Therefore, asking George Berkeley to offer a high salary to poach people in advance is definitely easy to use, after all, George Berkeley was attracted by Xia Yu's high salary.

Once people are busy, they feel like time flies.

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

It was this morning, probably because of the heavy rain last night, and the sky over London was foggy.

On this day, the world-shaking revolution broke out, Iran stopped oil exports, and the major news agencies stationed in Iran immediately transmitted the news back to the countries.

At noon, the BBC suddenly broadcast an international news item, which quickly spread in Britain and the capitalists reacted the fastest.

Gold jumped from $268.7 an ounce to $287.5 an ounce in London, and continued to rise as news spread further on major television and newspaper reports.

On this day, Xia Yu has been waiting in front of the TV, and when he saw the news of the British Radio and Television Station, he was completely relieved.

When he learned that the gold price in London fluctuated violently, the smile on Xia Yu's face could not be concealed at all.

Get rich!

Before the day had passed, the floating profit exceeded $500 million!
