Chapter 439: Personnel Changes
Naturally, the huge injection of capital into Winston Bank caused an uproar in the UK, and the powerful groups and companies reported in the media made ordinary citizens look sideways, while those sensitive politicians seemed to realize something and frequently inquired about relevant information.

In fact, they did not want to hide the formation of the Winston consortium, whether it was Wang Batian or the Duke of York, and after being confirmed, the new British Prime Minister summoned the Duke of Winston and the Duke of York as soon as possible, the core members of the consortium, and the country suddenly wanted to set up such a terrifying economic organization, and he really had no reason not to talk to these people.
At this time, Brown felt that the most correct thing he had ever done in his life was to draw Yang Qian into the Labor Party, at first he didn't think so much, he just thought that Wang Batian was a worthy target and Yang Qian was a member of parliament in the Winston area, if he could pull her into the Labor Party, it would mean that he would get the votes in the Winston area.
This was his purpose at the beginning, and then he knew that Yang Qian had the intention of entering politics, and understood that her past experience was clear that there was no problem with her ability, so he recommended her to become the auditor general of the Ministry of Finance.
From the Comptroller General to the current Second Minister of the Treasury, there is no other reason, but I really feel that Yang Qian has this ability, he is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, he needs a capable "own person", and in this way, he can also gain the favor of the Duke of Winston, why not.
Now, the Winston consortium is about to be formed, and as one of the absolute cores of the Winston consortium, Duke Winston, his attitude towards the Labour Party is crucial for Prime Minister Brown, because ...... In a sense, the Winston consortium already has the ability to influence the British prime minister.
Yes, that's right, the twenty-four Knights of the Round Table are not just traditional aristocrats, they also have lifelong aristocrats, but they also have one thing in common, that is, they are all super-rich, and it is self-evident what it means to be super-rich in a capitalist society, and they control most of the votes in Congress.
However, they are also neutral, because the 24 Knights of the Round Table represent different parties, like the Duke of York, who has always been the biggest supporter of the Conservative Party, and it is precisely because of several super-rich people, including him, and a large number of ordinary rich people that they have the capital to compete with the Labour Party, and the Labour Party is no different.
Although neutrality is neutrality, but befriending these people will definitely outweigh the disadvantages, no one dares to guarantee when they will be united, once united, then it will be easy to affect the general election of the whole of the United Kingdom.
Brown had an idea in his mind from understanding that the Winston consortium had been formed, and it was very likely that the Labour Party would remain in power for a term, but the idea was not very mature at the moment, and he needed to wait and see.
Summoning Wang Batian to meet with Brown has no other meaning, first of all, to show his goodwill, and secondly, to hope that the Winston consortium can act within the scope of the law, which is not a warning, but a transaction.
The basic content of the transaction is that you have some rules and we turn a blind eye to some of your things, of course, there are some other exchanges in it, which are nothing more than some fixed investments and policy support.
After Brown summoned the Duke of Winston, the Duke of York, and the Earl of Brighton, Winston Bank began to hold a global press conference, and journalists from all over the world rushed to Winston, England, after receiving invitations.
The press conference was hosted by Lee Kuang-kei, the governor of Winston Bank, and he was joined by two deputy governors, who were different from Lee Kuang-kei's Chinese identity, both of whom were British, and one of them even had the title of baron.
Winston Bank's press conference is basically to announce the establishment of the Winston Consortium to the world, and the entire Winston Consortium has more than 200 companies with a capital of more than one billion US dollars, including Hengtian Construction Company, Kaitian International Film and Television, and Beijiang Iron and Steel Hao Ran, involving industries including chemicals, pharmaceuticals, automobiles, ships, hotels, and construction......
This is a consortium that no one can ignore, although the capital has not yet been integrated, but after the assessment of a professional appraisal company, the capital power of the Winston consortium is at least 1.3 trillion pounds, and when converted into dollars, it is more than 2.5 trillion dollars.
In order to get more of the right to speak in the Winston consortium, Wang Batian deliberately concentrated all the shares in his hands that could be concentrated in his hands, but even then he only got nine votes.
There are a total of 100 votes for the entire Winston consortium, and the shares you occupy in the consortium are equivalent to your own votes, and any fractions are all zero. In other words, 12.1 percent and 12.9 percent both received 12 votes, and the few votes that were left vacant were reserved for the current head of the consortium.
Wang Batian's nine votes are actually quite a lot, for example, the Earl of Brighton only has a pitiful two votes, of course, there are many, such as the Duke of York, he has eleven votes in his hand, and there are six free votes, ahem, more than the poor Earl of Brighton.
There should not have been so few votes left in the air, but if it was just a little short, then a few directors of the consortium could have increased their capital injections, such as the Duke of York, who was only 10.8 per cent, and he finally brought his votes to 11 by adding a company worth 5 billion pounds.
In fact, there are not many directors who vote more than five votes, and there is only one more in addition to the Duke of York and Wang Batian, and the rest are all less than five votes.
Is it worth all your net worth in exchange for the current few votes? It's all worth it, because what makes a difference between being the UK's super-rich and now being one of the most powerful people in the world?
The Winston consortium was established, and Winston Bank was the core of the core, and the identity of the bank president was naturally very important.
After all, Lee Kwang Kai is the former president of Winston Bank, and the business philosophy of the East and the West is different, the presidents of these groups are not just ordinary superiors and subordinates with Wang Batian, they are also friends, and the board of directors of Winston Bank needs to take care of Lee Kuang Kai's emotions in this respect alone.
After some discussion, the board of directors decided to give Lee three choices, the first is the deputy governor of Winston Bank, the second is the head of the London Stock Exchange, and the third is the general manager of a fund owned by Winston Bank.
Of the three choices, the first one is undoubtedly the one with the greatest development potential, because as long as Lee Kuang-kai's ability can be recognized by the entire board of directors, then it is not impossible for him to become the president of Winston Bank again in the future, and the current Winston Bank is different from the previous one, and the current Winston Bank has a capital power of more than 2.5 trillion yuan.
The second choice is to be in politics, but because of his Chinese status, Li Guangqi is destined to not get much power, and the British government is not at ease to hand over such an important place as the London Stock Exchange to a Chinese.
The third is the general manager of a fund, the scale of the fund is not small, although the capital is only 1.2 billion pounds, but the capital power that can be used by the introduction is definitely more than 10 billion, which seems to be slightly inferior to the first two choices, but freedom alone is the first choice.
Li Guangqi has been with Wang Batian for a few years, and Wang Batian has some understanding of his character, and when the directors on the board of directors came up with these two choices, he shook his head and insisted on adding the third article, because he knew that this was the easiest thing to make Li Guangtian start.
Sure enough, when Li Guangqi saw the three choices, the third one was very decisively chosen without even being considered, and then he happily ran to London to take office that day.
The second personnel change has nothing to do with Wang Batian, he is the CEO of a large group of Duke York, and his personnel change has nothing to do with ability, what causes him to change is his personal character, because a director has taken out a record of his several times of embezzling public funds, and the board of directors naturally cannot tolerate such a person.
The reason why Société Générale has today's crisis is not because the people below are not clean, nor is it because the people below are too bold.
This is not an ordinary employee but the CEO of the group, he dares to use the group's funds without the authorization of the board of directors, although his purpose is for the sake of the group, although he has produced very good results, but such behavior is absolutely intolerable.
The board of directors can tolerate mistakes in the decision-making of the CEO of the group, but they will never be allowed to disobey the rules, so in the end, the very capable group CEO can only leave the place where he has worked for more than ten years.
Subsequently, there was a large area of personnel changes, Yu Ying also left the post of Kaitian International Cinema, and she was replaced by a very influential professional manager in the industry.
Yu Ying is not idle, she is now Wang Batian's representative, resident on the board of directors of Winston Bank, this representative was originally Song Wanyu is more suitable, after all, Song Wanyu is far superior to Yu Ying in terms of ability, but thinking that the relationship between Song Wanyu and Yang Qian is not very good, it is better for her to come to this place in the UK.
Fu Jie also left Winston Motor Company, he chose to return to China, and is now the general manager of a Sino-British joint venture group, which has a history of more than ten years The British side is now naturally Winston Bank.
Xu Jianyi didn't move, what is surprising is that Zhu Yunsheng actually stayed in his post, it is normal to think about it, how can people know what Zhu Yunsheng's ability is, what people have seen is that Hengtian Group has developed very rapidly in recent years, and Zhu Yunsheng is the main management, and the credit is naturally attributed to him.
