Chapter 327: Perverted Psychology
There are many aristocrats who come to Cambridge University to study, including European aristocrats, Arab princes, and so on...... Naturally, the level of security in the school is very high. On weekdays, Princess Ulysses studied at Cambridge and did not bring bodyguards. Not only did she not bring it, but many powerful people did not bring it.
Henry accompanies Princess Ulysses to Selwyn College, Cambridge University. Here, Henry and Princess Ulysses said goodbye. Henry wasn't a student at Cambridge University, and going to class together was a bit out of character. Plus, Henry has some investment matters to take care of!
Henry organized a team to approach the government to buy Thames and Energy on the one hand, and to buy more British banks on the other. The Bank of Bahrain is an investment bank, so, Henry is ready to buy a commercial bank!
Buying large banks outright, Henry would have to spend a lot of money, and these big banks would not necessarily sell. Therefore, Henry is targeting banks that have the potential to grow and have an impact in the UK.
The most famous, undoubtedly, is the Royal Bank of Scotland, which, after 2000, was only a regional bank. Although it is a regional bank, it has a very high market share and is the largest bank in Scotland, England! Henry values the bank's corporate management team the most, which really makes Henry admire!
In 2000, it acquired NatWestminster Bank, which was three times larger than its own company, and then it grew rapidly and became the largest bank in the United Kingdom in just a few years, with operations throughout the United Kingdom and around the world, ranking first in the United Kingdom's corporate and personal and overseas banking industry. Ranked 2nd in retail banking and private motor insurance!!
What is most important in the 21st century? Talent !!
Therefore, the acquisition of a capable management team is more important than the acquisition of a bank!
Henry sent someone to contact the Royal Bank of Scotland shortly after he arrived in England. A takeover offer was made to the bank, after so many days of negotiations. Eventually, progress was made, and Henry, the Royal Bank of Scotland, bought 70 percent of their shares for $7 billion! This morning, representatives of the Royal Bank of Scotland came to London to sign a contract with Henry.
The signing was signed at The Langham, London, Europe's first luxury hotel, owned by Henry. At 10 o'clock in the morning, Henry returned to the hotel, and representatives of the Royal Bank of Scotland arrived, a total of four people, Chairman Macchilow, and the company's CEO Fred Goodwin, as well as two lawyers!
Henry greeted them warmly with a smile on his face. When they arrived at the hotel room, Henry had a glass of wine for them. Then he smiled: "Mr. Macchilow and Mr. Fred Goodwin, after signing the contract, everyone will be a family!"
"Hmm!" the two of them nodded and laughed.
Henry held the contract in front of them, "Look at the contract, is there no problem? If not, we will start signing the contract!"
McChilow and Fred Goodwin showed the contract to their lawyers, who both nodded.
"Mr. Williams, the contract is fine, let's sign it!" McQuilow said.
"Good!" Henry smiled.
After signing the contract. Henry laughed, "Don't you mind changing the name of the bank?"
"Of course, Mr. Williams, you are the majority shareholder of the bank, and naturally you have the right to change your name!"
"That's good. Henry thought for a moment and asked, "How about calling it Williams Royal Bank?"
"No problem, that's a great name!" Fred Goodwin nodded. The Royal Bank of Scotland was replaced by the Royal Bank of Williams, and others inquired. It turns out that Williams Royal Bank is the bank of Henry Williams, the richest man in the world, and he is so rich. Banks should also have money, keep the money in Williams Royal Bank rest assured!
"Since you've all agreed, it's called Williams Royal Bank!" Henry laughed, "and I'll merge the Bank of Bahrain into Williams Royal Bank!"
"That's fine!" asked Fred Goodwin, "does the Bank of Bahrain need to keep its brand name?"
"Keep it, it's a subsidiary of Williams Royal Bank!" said Henry.
……
Peter Williams Peter Williams has always lived in the shadow of Henry, and resentment is also a motivator, and he was admitted to Cambridge University, and he was in the same class as Princess Ulysses. He sat in the last row of the classroom every time, and this time was no exception. He sat in the corner and could only see the side and back of Princess Ulysses, but despite this, he felt content. For the first time, however, he saw Princess Ulysses with a smile on her face, which had never been possible before. Why did Princess Ulysses laugh when she had always shown her cold face? Peter Williams couldn't help but think of the moment this morning when Henry and Princess Ulysses walked side by side, and his face became so fierce that his face became hideous!
Why him? Why do you like him instead of me?!!
You can't laugh, I want you to have a cold expression! You can't laugh!!
Peter Williams clenched his fists, his fingernails digging into his flesh, oozing blood!
In fact, after years of ridicule from countless people, Peter Williams's psychology has been greatly distorted and perverted to a frightening degree. Sometimes when he was home alone, he would cut his thigh with a knife, and he would feel great pleasure watching the scarlet blood slowly flow out of his skin, and he would the picture of Princess Ulysses until he fainted.
His room was eternally bleak and dark. The walls of the room were plastered with newspapers and photographs of Henry Williams' head, but each of them was incomplete, with some eyes gouged out, some noses gouged out...... It looks terrifying!
At this moment, his eyes were almost bloodshot, as if they were from hell, and there was almost a killing aura projected from his eyes. A burly and tall boy sitting in the front row turned his head to look at Peter Williams, and immediately turned pale with fright, ten times more terrifying than watching "The Grudge"!
Twenty minutes later, when the bell rang and the professor announced the end of class, the boy sitting in the front row of Peter Williams was already on pins and needles, and as soon as he heard that class was over, he immediately rushed out of the classroom.
Princess Ulysses gathered her things, got up from her seat, and walked to the door.
Peter Williams's eyes had been fixed on Princess Ulysses, and when he saw her walk out of the classroom door, he jerked up and chased after her, and a stool behind him fell to the ground with a "bang" sound that echoed in the empty classroom......
(PS: I'm so scared...... )
