Because the suburban manor is a certain distance from the City of London, even if Xia Yu and the others set off early, when they came to the headquarters of Guangming Fund Company, it was already 10:02 in the morning, and it took more than an hour on the road.

As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he happened to meet George Berkeley, who immediately greeted Xia Yu in surprise.

"Good morning, boss!"

"George, long time no see, you look in good spirits!"

Xia Yu stepped out of the elevator, looked at George Berkeley, and said with a light smile.

George Berkeley immediately replied wittily: "Because you are back, boss, this is the most joyful thing today, what a surprise day!"

Xia Yu smiled dumbly, I haven't seen him for a while, George Berkeley's kung fu is good!

He didn't intend to dwell on these details, and asked, "George, it looks like you have something urgent now?"

George Berkeley hurriedly shook his head and said, "Boss, it's just a little work, don't worry, I'd better accompany you to the office first." ”

Xia Yu didn't shirk, the whole company must be the most important thing for him, and halfway through the morning, he had to hurry up and learn more about the situation.

Then he nodded and said, "Let's go!"

After speaking, Xia Yu took Elena's sister and brother and the bodyguard to his office, and George Berkeley quickly followed.

As soon as he arrived at the office, Xia Yu asked George Berkeley to bring him the company's development and assets.

Henry, on the other hand, could not sit still, and after his sister told him not to leave the company, he went around the company.

Not long after, George Berkeley came in with a file box, which he had just taken out of the safe.

"Boss, last month I just went through the company's assets comprehensively, which is the company's log and a brief list of assets. ”

After speaking, George Berkeley handed the file box in his hand to Xia Yu.

"In addition to what you reported to me on the phone earlier, are there any more important things that happened?"

In order to save time, Xia Yu asked, opened the file box and took out the documents inside.

"Recently, there is also a very important thing, which is the privatization of the telecommunications industry, and now it is the second critical period, and I am working on it. ”

George Berkeley thought for a moment and said.

Xia Yu just opened the document and wanted to browse, hearing this, he paused, concentrated, looked up at George Berkeley, contemplated for a moment and said: "I remember you told me that last month the government passed the new "British Telecom Act", and on the 1st of this month, the government led the separation of postal and telecommunications, established the British Telecom Company and the Royal Mail Company, and abolished the monopoly of the British Telecom Company in the operation and service of the communication network. ”

"So, now the government is preparing to set up a second telecommunications company in the country, right?"

George Berkeley nodded and said, "Yes, according to the information I received from the government, as well as the news from Duke Howard, the government is now planning to set up a new telecommunications company. ”

"And in order to speed up efficiency, the prime minister has already privately said that he will set up a new telecommunications company within half a month. ”

"I had spoken to Duke Howard on the phone yesterday and was going to meet with him this afternoon to discuss how to fight for the company. ”

After thinking for a while, Xia Yu said, "Is there a lot of pressure on the competition for this company now?"

George Berkeley nodded heavily, and said with a solemn face: "Yes, this company is different from the Great Eastern Telecom Company that we won before, everyone knows that the prospects of the domestic telecommunications market in the UK will be very good, so there are many people who have ideas about this company." ”

"And I asked Duke Howard, and he told me that the Bank of Bahrain is no longer eligible to compete, because the Bank of Bahrain already holds 20 percent of the shares of Dadong Telecom, and the government believes that the Bank of Bahrain is not strong enough to support the development of the two telecommunications companies. ”

"Moreover, the privatization of telecommunications companies is to break the monopoly and rejuvenate the British telecommunications field, and only by falling into healthy competition can the British people gain benefits and let the British telecommunications companies go abroad. ”

"This time, the government also needs a bank as the core to support the development of new telecom companies, and a new telecom company does require huge investment. ”

"So now we are facing a dilemma, Duke Howard and Prince Philip, although they are also interested in the new telecommunications company, but we can't concentrate our forces, and we lack a banking entity. ”

"We still have Standard Chartered and Royal Bank of Scotland, but they are not shareholders, and it is difficult for us to compete with stronger banks such as Lloyds Bank and Barclays. ”

From George Berkeley's detailed explanation, Xia Yu can understand the difficulty of this.

There are too many big families in Britain, and the last time in order to compete for the Great Eastern Telecommunications Company, he, Duke Howard, and Prince Philip cooperated, or in the form of a surprise attack, and still let the government take 12% of the 51% of the shares.

And this time, they are likely to have to fight on their own, after all, the common interest group, the Bank of Bahrain, has already lost the qualification to compete in advance.

And his Standard Chartered Bank and the Royal Bank of Scotland still have the cancer of the Rothschild family that has not been cleaned up, although he is hungry for the new telecommunications company, but it still does not make him lose the interests of the bank.

The Royal Bank of Scotland, in particular, has less than two-thirds of the shares, and he welcomes Duke Howard and Prince Philip to join, but the equity cannot be taken out of him!

If only the Rothschild family spit out the equity to give!

Then again, even Royal Bank of Scotland and Standard Chartered can't compete with Barclays, National Westminster and Lloyds.

According to information in the Banker magazine, which is owned by his Financial Times Group, the British banks in the top 500 of the World Bank are Barclays, NatWestminster, HSBC Holdings and Lloyds Bank.

Standard Chartered and Royal Bank of Scotland are a bit far apart.

Even if the strength is insufficient, the background and behind-the-scenes relationship chain are far inferior to these banks.

Behind Barclays is the Rothschild family and some of the younger brothers of the Rothschild family.

Behind Lloyd's Bank is a royalist family, and Duke Howard is one of the shareholders.

Behind NatWestminster Bank and HSBC Holdings are also a bunch of old big families, a lot of jazz.

Thinking of this, Xia Yu suddenly felt a big head.

In just half a month, there is not much room for operation, and the difficulty of operation is not small.

For a while, he couldn't think of any practical solution.

Shaking his head slightly, he cleared the irritability that had just emerged, and said lightly to George Berkeley, "I see." ”

After speaking, he didn't speak again, and lowered his head to flip through the documents in his hand.

George Berkeley didn't ask again, quietly waiting for Xia Yu's next inquiry.

"Sand ...... Sand...... Sand ......"

As he kept turning the pages, Xia Yu drew the information on the paper into his mind.

Gradually, the reality of the Bright Fund continued to be pieced together in his mind.

A smile gradually appeared on his face.

PS: I said that I couldn't stay up late, and I wrote a little more, let's rest early, I can't hold on, good night!
