Chapter 855: Empty Attack
The words are divided into two ends.
Just as Jacob Rothschild and Evelyn Rothschild were discussing how to teach Sumitomo Trading Company a lesson.
Elena also returned to her home in Norfolk to accompany her family to a sumptuous dinner.
"Oh my God, sister, you actually went to New York to find Xia Yu, did you see my master?"
Hearing his sister talk about what he saw in New York, little Henry, who was munching on steak, immediately raised his head and asked in a loud voice.
Elena smiled softly: "See, your master is Xia Yu's personal bodyguard, Xia Yu is there, of course he is there." ”
Henry suddenly looked pained, and said to his sister Elena: "Sister, why don't you take me, I haven't seen my master for a long time, I want him to see my progress, he has a genius student." ”
Henry was startled, Elena thought it was something important, but she didn't expect it to be boasting, Elena rolled her eyes angrily, and said speechlessly: "Henry, when did you become so narcissistic?"
Henry blinked, looked at his sister very seriously, and asked: "Sister, I am telling the truth, let me tell you, now I am the boss of the class, and no one dares to quarrel with me, just because my kung fu is already very good, and I ...... last time"
Seeing that Henry seemed to be getting more and more excited, Elena hurriedly stopped him: "Okay, the most powerful Henry, before you talk about this, do you want to eat the steak on your plate first?"
“(⊙o⊙)...”
"Well, you don't seem to want to hear about the glorious deeds of the wise and martial Henry in defeating the evil forces, and the next time I see my master, I'll tell him. ”
Henry shrugged his shoulders boringly, then lowered his head again, and looked at the steak on the plate with a knife and fork with a solemn expression, as if the steak was also the evil force in his mouth.
Elena wordlessly stroked her forehead and looked at her father.
I saw Duke Carter Howard smiling, and seemed to be very happy to see the siblings bickering.
"I'm full, Dad, I'll go to the garden and stay with Dora first. ”
After Henry finished eating the steak, he wiped his mouth with a tissue, threw a word and ran away.
The Dora in his mouth is a golden retriever raised by the family, very clingy, and a good friend of Henry.
"Stay safe!"
Duke Carter Howard admonished.
"Okay, I got it!"
Henry said without looking back, and then disappeared into the doorway.
"Since Henry learned Kung Fu, he has become more and more cheerful and confident. ”
Duke Carter Howard said to his daughter Elena with some emotion.
Elena smiled and tapped her head in response, "Yes!"
"Elena, it depends on the situation, the Bright Fund has a lot of action during this time, I hope you will also pay attention to rest when you are busy with work, no matter what, your body is the most important. ”
Duke Carter Howard also finished eating, he put down his knife and fork, wiped his mouth gently, and said to Elena with concern.
The financial industry is not as easy as it seems from the outside.
Although there is commuting time, many times, after work, you also have to socialize for work and projects, and it is difficult to distinguish between life and work.
Especially when financial companies are working on big plans, overtime is perfectly normal
What's more, Elena is in an important position, and now it can be seen from public opinion and the capital market that the Bright Fund has made frequent moves, and it is difficult for Elena to take it easy, and Duke Carter Howard doesn't want his daughter to work so hard.
"Dad, I'm not thunder, Manager George rarely arranges work for me, and in the whole company, I guess I am the most free. ”
Elena chuckled, reassuring Duke Carter Howard.
It was then that Elena talked about what she had done when she returned.
"Dad, I went to New York this time, and Xia Yu told me that he had an idea of cooperation and wanted to cooperate with you or Lloyds Bank. ”
Duke Carter Howard stared at him and said, "Let's go to the couch and talk." ”
After saying that, the father and daughter came to the sofa, and the butler, who had been waiting, immediately instructed the servant to clean up the table.
"What ideas does he have for collaboration?"
Duke Carter Howard asked with interest.
Except for a few times when he helped Xia Yu for free, he has benefited a lot from other cooperation with Xia Yu.
What's more important is that it is very easy to cooperate with Xia Yu, and there is no need to worry that Xia Yu will give him problems, such cooperation, Duke Carter Howard said that he can do another dozen.
Seeing that her father was interested, Elena smiled slightly and told her what Xia Yu asked her to tell when she was in New York.
“......”
"Does he really say that? Tens of billions of dollars have already been mobilized, and there is a guarantee that another ten billion dollars will be raised in a week?"
"Elena, do you think what Xia Yu said is true?"
After listening, Carter Howard asked his daughter in shock.
When did Xia Yu have this ability?
Even with the accumulation of his Howard family for hundreds of years, it is impossible to do this, Xia Yu actually said that he can do it, Duke Carter Howard has a dreamy feeling, it is too unbelievable.
But Elena was convinced of Xia Yu's words, looked at her father's eyes calmly, nodded and said: "Dad, I don't think Xia Yu can tell a lie, and he is indeed doing this, before I go home, I went to the company first, and conveyed Xia Yu's order to Manager George, maybe starting tomorrow, the staff of the Bright Fund will go to the major mining companies in Europe." ”
"Dad, I don't know what the situation of Xia Yu's company outside the UK is, but it is the Bright Fund where I am located, I think the whole UK underestimates its strength, but what the specific situation is, I can't tell you, I am now an employee of the company, and I have to keep it secret for the company. ”
Duke Carter Howard smiled dumbly, but supported his daughter's attitude of keeping the company secret, and praised: "You did the right thing, you don't have to tell me the truth about the Bright Fund." ”
After speaking, he said with interest: "I have also paid attention to the futures market, and the Bank of Bahrain is very embarrassed now, which is in sharp contrast to the fierce offensive at the beginning, and I estimate that Ballyt Bahrain is now going to tear off his beard." ”
Ballyt Bahrain is the patriarch of the Bahraini family today.
"Dad, you haven't said your decision yet? should our family cooperate with Xia Yu? or let Lloyds Bank cooperate? or give up?"
Elena asked again that her father's attitude was very important, and it was related to whether the strategy of the Bright Fund was adjusted.
In her heart, Elena hoped that her father would agree, after all, it would be beneficial to Xia Yu and the family.
Duke Carter Howard restrained his smile and said slowly, "Elena, you eat some strawberries first, so that Dad can think about it." ”
After thinking about it for a long time, Duke Carter Howard finally made up his mind to cooperate with Xia Yu in the name of the Howard family.
And not only to long copper futures and aluminum futures, but also to short the Bank of Bahrain, and look for opportunities to buy the Bank of Bahrain.
Although the Bahrain family is also a British aristocratic family, and it is still not a weak nobleman, it is not an ally of the Howard family, and the two families have existed for more than two hundred years, and there will always be friction over time.
And there is also a lot of competition between the Bank of Bahrain and Lloyds.
The aristocratic alliance behind Lloyds Bank is also royalist, but the Bahrain family relied on the connection established with King George V and monopolized the cooperation with the royal family, which frustrated the development of Lloyds Bank, and the Howard family, as one of the major shareholders of Lloyds Bank, was naturally affected.
Now that the Bank of Bahrain is doing its own thing, even if the Howard family comes forward to short-sell and acquire, it is in line with normal business rules, and other families will not blame anything.
Of course, it was Duke Carter Howard's decision that finally made up his mind that he also coveted the Bank of Bahrain.
Although the Howard family is the majority shareholder of Lloyds Bank, they are only one of the shareholders, and if he wants to use the money, he also has a lot of constraints and has to follow the rules.
It would be great if the Howard family could have a more influential bank.
"Elena, this cooperation, Dad agreed. ”
"Dad, you made the right decision. ”
"I hope so, haha......"
......
Early the next morning, Elena set off for London, and Duke Carter Howard took action.
Since he decided to cooperate, he will go all out to the end, not only to short the Bank of Bahrain, but also to long copper futures and aluminum futures, and buy the spot of mining companies, to be a strong ally.
When Xia Yu received the call from Elena to report the good news, he was in a good mood.
With itself, Sumitomo Trading and the Howard family in the UK, it would be difficult for the Bank of Bahrain to turn around, even if other families intervened.
It's just that just when Xia Yu was relieved, one of his allies, Sumitomo Trading Company, was in trouble.
Sumitomo Corporation, London Branch, Metals Trading Division, Nickel Trading Team Office.
"Manager, no, there is a big short, 10,000 short orders! The position is 7,500 US dollars a ton!"
Suddenly, a trader exclaimed.
On the London Metal Exchange, nickel futures are six tonnes in one lot.
The sudden appearance of 10,000 empty orders is 60,000 tons.
And more importantly, the price of nickel futures is $8,925 a ton, but the bears actually opened a position at $7,500 a ton, the difference is too amazing.
Sumitomo Trading Co., Ltd. is a long position in London LME nickel futures, and if the price is really suppressed to 7,500 US dollars, with the margin provided by Sumitomo Trading Co., Ltd., it will definitely be blown up and suffer heavy losses!
