Chapter 852: The Powerful Duke Howard (First Update)
New York JFK International Airport, founded in 1942, was originally known as New York International Airport, but due to the assassination of the President of the United States in 1963, the airport was renamed John F. Kennedy International Airport in commemoration.
As one of the world's major aviation hubs, New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport is busy, and while Xia Yu is waiting, passenger planes can be seen soaring into the sky from time to time.
Xia Yu remained patient and waited quietly.
At this moment, a group of people came out of the airport, and although the young girl in the middle was wearing sunglasses, Xia Yu still recognized her identity instantly.
He took a step forward, walked up quickly with his bodyguard, and warmly hugged the young girl who also recognized Xia Yu.
"Elena, long time no see!"
"Xia Yu, it's good to see you again!"
That's right, it's Elena.
Xia Yu called George Berkeley before and asked him to arrange for someone to come to New York to pick up the mission and bring the mission materials back.
This news was known to Elena, and Elena, who missed Xia Yu a lot, volunteered to come to New York, how dare George Berkeley say no?
Then George Berkeley told Xia Yu that this was the scene where Xia Yu came to pick up the plane.
hugged each other tightly for half a minute, after all, it felt too conspicuous in the huge airport, not to mention that there were so many bodyguards there, Elena struggled lightly with some reluctance, and Xia Yu let go of Elena.
Xia Yu smiled and said naturally: "Elena, let's get in the car first, go to my place to put things first." ”
"Well, listen to you. Elena replied softly.
Then the group got on the bus in batches, and the convoy set off to Xia Yu's manor in New York.
Jin Jiajun and the others, who were still in the manor, saw Xia Yu bring Elena in, and they all realized that they and the others seemed to know something that they shouldn't know, although the chairman didn't say it, but they all made up their minds to forget about it.
After the group dinner in the evening, all the subordinates were sent to the airport.
In the United States, where guns are rampant, even in the cities, the night is full of dangers.
Although Xia Yu wanted to take Elena out for a walk, he had to regret postponing the time until tomorrow daylight considering the actual situation.
Fortunately, the two have common hobbies and endless topics, but they don't seem boring.
After Elena played a piano song, Xia Yu couldn't help but applaud: "Elena, your piano skills are getting better and better, and you play really well." ”
Elena smiled like a peach blossom: "Hehe, I practice this piano piece every day when I get home, if only it were winter, now there is no snowflakes against the background, playing this "Snow Dream", there is still some less artistic conception." ”
......
Talking and laughing, Xia Yu and Elena sat side by side on the sofa in the living room, and Elena took the initiative to talk to Xia Yu about work.
"Xia Yu, I heard Manager George say that it's about the work of the futures market, right?"
Xia Yu, who didn't plan to talk about work tonight, was stunned at first, and then when he saw Elena's serious expression, his heart warmed, and he nodded and said, "Yes." ”
"Elena, you wait a minute, I'll go get something. ”
After speaking, Xia Yu got up and came to the closet, opened the cabinet door, took out the blue box that had been given to Jin Jiajun and others in the afternoon, returned to the sofa, opened the blue box, and put it in front of Elena.
"You can take a look at it first, but for specific things, after you bring the information back, I will ask George to arrange someone to do it, although this thing is simple but very cumbersome, just let the people below do it. ”
Xia Yu said casually, he didn't want Elena to come forward to buy spot copper contracts and aluminum contracts, this kind of hard work and hard work can't learn anything, let Elena go is purely guilty, how can Xia Yu be willing to do it.
Feeling Xia Yu's concern for herself, Elena pursed her pink lips, nodded and said after reading it, "Okay." ”
"Xia Yu, how could the Bank of Bahrain suddenly short copper futures and aluminum futures?"
Xia Yu shook his head, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said calmly: "At present, it seems that only the Bank of Bahrain itself knows the motive, but since it has chosen to go against me, then it must pay the price." ”
Xia Yu said domineering words in a calm tone, and Elena couldn't help but be overjoyed when she heard it.
Xia Yu couldn't help but think of the fate of the Bahrain Bank in his previous life, that is, because there was a big problem in the futures market, which led to the assets of the Bahrain Bank reaching 27 billion pounds, it still went bankrupt and collapsed.
In this life, it is still very early for the collapse of the Bank of Bahrain, but since the Bank of Bahrain jumped out against him, Xia Yu will definitely not let him have a good time, and the Bank of Bahrain will have to shed its skin if it does not die.
Looking back now, it seems that because of Duke Howard's relationship, he has developed smoothly in the UK, and he really hasn't encountered any major setbacks, and of course he can't stand up.
At present, this is indeed a good opportunity, the Bank of Bahrain is the first to start, and it is a normal financial struggle in itself, even if the Bank of Bahrain is overturned, no one can blame him, but it can greatly enhance his influence and status in the UK.
"Elena, when you go back, you tell George to go all out and short the Bank of Bahrain. ”
Speaking of this, Xia Yu paused for a moment and added again: "Of course, you also ask your father Sir Carter by the way, if he or Lloyds Bank are interested, they may as well work together, and maybe they can even acquire the Bank of Bahrain." ”
After all, the Bank of Bahrain is the designated cooperative bank of the British royal family, and it is no problem for Xia Yu to make a profit from shorting, but the variables of the acquisition are too great, if Lloyds Bank or the Howard family intervenes, the probability of success is greater, and the pressure on him is small.
Although this will give up a lot of benefits, Xia Yu doesn't care, if he doesn't cooperate, he won't be able to get benefits, and he won't even have a chance to score.
"Okay, I'll tell my dad as soon as I go back, I think he should be interested, Xia Yu, you don't know, he said in front of me more than once that you are very powerful, when did you go to London, he still has to thank you with others, if he knows that you want to cooperate with him to buy the Bank of Bahrain, he will definitely consider it carefully." ”
Elena said with a smile.
Xia Yu raised his eyebrows and asked with interest, "Elena, what did your father thank me for?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he remembered a pit he had dug for the Rothschild family before.
Sure enough, Elena's words immediately confirmed his conjecture.
I only heard Elena smile and said: "Didn't you say before that the sovereign debt of Latin American countries is very risky? My father said that after detailed investigation and analysis within Lloyd's Bank, it came to the conclusion that the probability of a sovereign debt crisis is more than 90 percent, and everyone was taken aback at that time, and then it took a lot of effort to transfer these lending businesses, and I heard him tell me a few days ago that now Lloyds Bank's lending business to Latin American countries has transferred 75 percent. ”
"If you hadn't reminded me that by the time the crisis really broke out, Lloyds Bank would have lost a lot of money. ”
Xia Yu smiled faintly and asked, "Elena, do you know which banks Lloyds Bank's sovereign debt business was transferred to?"
Elena immediately nodded and said: "Of course I know, my father listened to your opinion, and these sovereign debt operations were basically transferred to Barclays Bank, and now Barclays Bank is the largest creditor in Latin America and other countries." ”
Hearing this, Xia Yu couldn't help laughing, and secretly said in his heart that Duke Carter Howard was powerful enough, and he played a divine assist.
In the past, many British banks lost more or less on the sovereign debt of Latin American countries, and Barclays Bank also suffered losses, but the greater loss was Lloyds Bank, which almost made Lloyds Bank fall out of the first echelon.
But in this life, Barclays Bank took over Lloyd's Bank's sovereign debt business, as long as the Latin American sovereign debt crisis broke out, Barclays Bank would definitely not have time to run away, and the Rothschild family would be miserable.
Thinking of the tragic situation that is very likely to happen to the Rothschild family in the future, and Jacob Rothschild's heartbroken appearance, Xia Yu was secretly refreshed.
Duke Carter Howard is so powerful, it seems a little inappropriate for him not to express it.
But where do you start?
"Yes! It's a win-win!"
Xia Yu thought for a moment, his eyes lit up, and he thought of a good idea.
PS: The update is late, I'm still at work tonight, depressed
