Time was long, and in the blink of an eye it was the summer of 1988, and the difficult negotiations on the Royal Bank of Scotland finally came to an end.

Under the influence of Li Jiachen's words at that time, Zhao Qing learned to compromise, of course, the object of compromise was not the British royal family, but the prime minister.

After negotiating with the shareholders of the Royal Bank of Scotland and signing the contract, when faced with the UK Financial Authority, he chose to withdraw rather than choose to go to public relations on a large scale.

Although he would have been in a much better position after the PR, he did not choose to compromise with the conservatives, but to find a prime minister, based on more investment in England's infrastructure and increased employment, and then took out 10 percent of the 30 percent sterling issuance, of which 5 percent went to Lloyd's Bank, which had good relations with the top of the British hierarchy.

The remaining five percent is given to the Monetary Authority for them to deal with.

Of course, there is no need to repeat the countless transactions behind it.

Zhao Qing's bottom line has been completely laid out, and at the same time, he is constantly exchanging interests with some of the most powerful British grand dukes and some families with ancient inheritances, in exchange for their support.

Even so, it took more than half a year for the acquisition to be truly settled.

Since the day the contract was signed, Zhao Qing really felt that he had entered the sight of European aristocrats and some families, rather than the nouveau riche who made them constantly condescending to comment.

Of course, there are voices of opposition, and some people in the financial circles in Britain and France who covet the Royal Bank of Scotland cry out the moment the dust settles, and Europe has become a place where Asians can come and go at will.

In this regard, Zhao Qing doesn't care very much, the matter has been completely settled, and it was passed by a majority vote in the British Monetary Authority and the House of Commons, and the document was lost.

Zhao Qing, who had done all this, sent Shen Bi to the position of president and left, because he had delayed a lot of things because of the matter of the Royal Bank of Scotland.

The Central Asian oil plan has been thoroughly launched, and the Mellon family has begun to send personnel to enter and negotiate with Kazakhstan and other countries in advance, while Zhao Qing is spending money to constantly look for agents in several countries.

Because of his cooperation with the Mellon family, and Morgan's financial support, the Western media did not disclose the matter, after all, it was reported before the project was successful, and it would not be good if the aging monster of the Soviet Union suddenly found out about their actions that day and became angry.

Although Americans don't want to lose face in the face of interests, families like Mellon still want to save face.

Therefore, after discussion, the two sides unanimously decided not to make formal preparations, except for some high-level people who have a slight ear in the ear, only the CIA has installed a lot of people in the project team through the relationship, so as to enter the Soviet Union to spy on their secrets, after all, there is an oil company in the hidden project, and the identity is safer after all.

Oil exploration in the Gulf of Mexico was entrusted to Li Jiachen's Hersky Exploration Company, and he only needed to help him resist the prying eyes of some people in the United States.

A professional person does professional things, he just needs to grasp the general direction.

As for Xiangjiang, Zhao Qing's acquisition of the Royal Bank of Scotland did not use the credit line requested by HSBC earlier, but instead invested them in RB's stock market and real estate, following the layout of funds and investment companies in the United States or preparing for them to develop in the front, and he followed behind to make money back quietly.

Although the idea is good, it is still discovered by a small family that has just been established, although the helmsman of the fund has a good reputation in the industry, and the fund is not large.

This person is Soros, and he also inadvertently discovered an undercurrent of funds following the financial oligarchy to carry out small and covert cannibalization.

However, although he learned that there was such an undercurrent, Soros did not announce it, but after finding out the source of funds behind it, he personally went to the Zhao family's mansion in Xiangjiang to meet Zhao Qing and communicated with him for three hours.

Immediately after he left Xiangjiang, he announced that the Quantum Fund would receive a $1 billion injection of 30 percent of the shares.

With this exposure alone, the quantum fund appeared in the eyes of people a few years in advance, and Soros, a Jewish old man who is wanted by many countries in the future, has a reputation that has flowed out in the financial private equity industry in advance and entered the eyes of the public.

Although Soros's big mouth made the quantum fund famous in advance, but because he did not have any record since its formation, and there was still a big gap between the amount of funds and those old funds, he did not attract the attention of those people on Wall Street, but only set off a wave in the small fund, and then disappeared in front of everyone.

Those who originally had a lot of money and wanted to seek Soros to manage their finances for them also hibernate and continue to pay attention, and some bold and interested people who are optimistic about Soros even if they invest, they only make a small injection first, and there is no big move.

And Zhao Qing, the second owner of the quantum fund, was not exposed in the eyes of everyone, in Zhao Qing's opinion, only Soros alone can do it, he is still making money behind the scenes, and he didn't know that he was designed by those hungry wolves on the day of the province.

His family knows his own affairs, and he still knows very well how many pounds and taels he has, although he started in the stock futures market, but it is just to take the lead, if he really lets him act on his own, he may have been stared at by those hungry wolf scum who are not left.

Therefore, his own investment company mainly holds stocks of large companies, some corporate bonds and treasury bonds, and does not make large-scale investments in the financial market.

Zhao Qing adopted a conservative strategy after success, anyway, his investment seems to appreciate slowly now, but in the long run, he not only outperforms inflation, but even earns much more than many fund investment companies.

Of course, those people don't know this now, they just think that Zhao Qing has changed his personality and become timid.

In fact, they knew that Zhao Qing was now purely dormant, and he was just secretly arranged, and once the time came, he would give a big surprise to the top people who had been paying attention to him.
