Chapter 78 London Financial Circle
Xu Qing reluctantly gained a sense of presence in London because of his behavior in the fencing hall, and as a foreign minister to the United Kingdom, most ordinary people would not pay attention to this kind of foreign political figure. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info but Xu Qing pretended to be such a show, constantly slapped Prince Frederick in the face, and even showed a noble sentiment, so that many London citizens also really respected this "hero" who did everything for the sake of Eurasian friendship.
"Minister Xu Qing, this is a buffet party that the Mayor of London invited you to negotiate business with!"
Xu Qing was a little surprised, and asked: "Why is it invited by the mayor of London, if it is a diplomatic note, it should be sent by the British diplomatic department!" “
"Minister Xu Qing, this should be given to you the identity of the boss of the Yinghua Bank. This was sent by the City of London, because London is a financial city, and the banking industry is the most important industry in the financial industry, and you are also the owner of the Anglo-Chinese Bank. Anglo-Chinese Bank is quite famous in Europe and has completely changed the European financial landscape, so it should go. This buffet was attended by a well-known British financial entrepreneur invited by the City of London, but last year he was not invited because His Excellency the Minister had just arrived and his identity was a little confused. And this year, a total of ten lower identities have stabilized, and there is more time, so I will also invite! ”
Xu Qing then remembered that he also had the identity of a banker, and London was the financial capital and the earliest financial city, so it was normal to invite financial entrepreneurs with status to attend a buffet. It's normal to invite Xu Qing now, especially Xu Qingke, the boss of Yinghua Bank, an out-and-out financial entrepreneur.
Xu Qing took Zhao Qiu to the meeting, because among these girls, Zhao Qiu is in charge of business, so taking Zhao Qiu to the meeting is also an important opportunity to exercise, give her exercise!
"Mr. Xu Qing, welcome to you!" The Mayor of London immediately congratulated.
Xu Qing also praised and said: "Mr. Mayor, you are really refreshed!" You're my parents! ”
"Don't dare to be, who doesn't know that you, Xu Qing, are the God of Wealth from the Far East! As soon as it was sold, in just over a year, a multinational bank with considerable strength in the whole of Europe was established, which is not simple! The Mayor of London hastened to reply.
The mayor of London personally led the way, and many service personnel along the way hurriedly got out of the way, knowing that it was not ordinary people who could come here. Especially an Oriental, those waiters immediately knew who it was, because among the financiers in London, who else could let the Mayor of London personally lead the way, except for the Chinese minister Xu Qing?
Many female waiters even flattered Xu Qing, the entire London high society, who doesn't know that Xu Qing likes women? Although these waitresses are not upper-class people, they have been in contact with upper-class society for a long time, of course, when they hear about Xu Qing's situation, they are naturally no strangers to Xu Qing's hobbies. Even many women don't know how much they want to climb into Xu Qing's bed, so that they can have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.
But this is just to think about, a rich man often does not marry women who only have looks and no connotation. For this kind of woman who only has appearance and no connotation, people who have money and power will only "rent" and will not choose to "hold". As for the probability of meeting a stupid rich man, it is not as high as the probability of becoming a rich man by himself.
However, Xu Qing was disdainful of those waitresses who flattered him, why did Xu Qing have to contaminate this kind of woman and lose his worth! You must know that the woman next to him, a princess of the Bonaparte family, a countess, and a queen of Spain, why bother touching what kind of woman is worthless!
Not to mention that women should pay attention to not losing their value when choosing a man, if a man is hungry and chooses any woman, it will also be worth it!
"Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Xu Qing from China. He is the Chinese Minister to Europe, and a banker, who has been granted a charter by Her Majesty the Queen, and enjoys most of the civil rights and duties of our British citizens. Said the Mayor of London.
"Oh? Is that financial shark coming? "It's him! He's here this time? ”……
Those British financiers stood up one after another, obviously very worried about Xu Qing. Because Xu Qing may not know how huge his influence on the European financial industry is, in fact, the influence of his Anglo-Chinese Bank on Europe has made European financiers very afraid. That's right, that is, very fearful, Xu Qing brought them fear.
"Why is everyone looking at me so scared? I'm embarrassed! Xu Qing asked.
The Mayor of London hurriedly explained: "Minister Xu Qing, you may still not be very clear, right? We in London's financial circles are very scared of you. Because you have completely disrupted the financial markets of the whole of London, since your few means, completely caused the financial circles of London, the United Kingdom, and even the whole of Europe to be shaken. Your energy is mainly on diplomacy, so maybe you don't know how shaken the financial industry in Europe is. ”
"Yours through low-interest savings, relatively high-interest loans, such back and forth, completely reshuffle the way the banking industry operates. By absorbing the deposits of ordinary people and then lending them out at relatively high interest rates, this practice of eating the interest rate difference has benefited both the depositor and the loan side. Originally, most of our loans in London were at least 30% per annum, and the source of deposits was very simple. So your general interest rate of 15 or 6 percent on the loan is also a big impact in our whole Europe. ”
"And not only do you not charge management fees for your deposits, but instead give depositors interest, many depositors have gone to other banks to run on them, and many small banks have gone bankrupt. Many large banks have barely survived, but in this adjustment of business mode, they have also suffered heavy losses. ”
"But then you have a second move, using the professional manager system, coupled with the top stock system, so that the banks poached a large number of outstanding financial talents. As a financial industry, the most precious wealth is actually talent, a large number of talents have run to you, and those big banks have also experienced a huge pressure again. However, in the end, the big banks have a complex network of relationships, and after paying some costs and coordinating with all parties, there is finally no more trouble, but they also have to promise to give more benefits to those talents. But this still can't stop many outstanding talents from jumping to your Yinghua Bank. ”
Xu Qing asked curiously: "So, am I hated by others?" “
The Mayor of London suddenly said mischievously: "Your Excellency, what do you say? ”
Here, the mayor of London deliberately emphasized the title of "Your Excellency the Minister", which was obviously telling Xu Qing that if Xu Qing was not a diplomat, his identity was too sensitive, so those bankers did not dare to attack a foreign minister easily, otherwise Xu Qing's head might fly.
Xu Qing felt his neck fluttering, fortunately he still had the identity of a minister, otherwise if it was a simple ordinary person, then he might have been slaughtered by these capitalists who only had money in their eyes. However, it is precisely because Xu Qing also has the status of a minister, representing a "country", so that these bankers are jealous. Because a minister represents a country, not two people. If you attack a minister, you will be in the face of a country.
Even, if they attack Xu Qing, a diplomat, maybe the diplomats of all European countries will "die of rabbits and foxes and hurt them". If the world's diplomats are "sad about the death of rabbits and foxes", then these financiers will also be miserable. These diplomats are all hugely influential, and if they really collectively despise the British bankers, it will be bad luck for them.
Therefore, because of Xu Qing's status as a diplomat, they didn't dare to mess around, so they could only knock out their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs.
"It seems that it's better not to go too far, if you really force them, then I'm going to be unlucky!" Xu Qing thought to himself.
Xu Qing knows that it is not suitable to go too far, after all, the financial industry, which is related to the lifeblood of the country, is actually very exclusive in nature. If Xu Qing really defeated these British bankers, then the British government, the state apparatus, would not be far from taking action against him.
As a foreigner, after all, it is impossible to completely monopolize the financial industry in the UK. Xu Qing understands very well the truth of power coming out of the barrel of a gun, although he has money, but the British government has the right to have soldiers, and the consequences are unimaginable if it is really excessive.
"Minister Xu Qing, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Rothschild!" The mayor of London took the initiative to introduce.
"Hello, Mr. Rothschild!" Xu Qing took the initiative to shake hands and said.
This Rothschild is not at all like a family that controls the whole world, as long as you know a little bit about finance, you will know that this is impossible.
In later generations, there was a writer surnamed Song who failed in elementary school math and wrote a book about the Rothschilds, claiming that the Rothschilds had fifty trillion dollars. However, according to the most common economic common sense, if you want to maintain the market capitalization, the profit should be about one-tenth of the market value. In other words, the Rothschilds' industry has to maintain an annual profit of $5 trillion in order to maintain its market value.
However, China's total national income in 2013 was only more than 5 trillion yuan, which means that the industrial income of the Rothschild family is similar to that of nearly 1.4 billion Chinese.
Therefore, when Xu Qing read the book written by the writer surnamed Song, who failed in elementary school mathematics, he felt that his IQ was insulted, and the industrial profit of a family was about the same as the total income of nearly 1.4 billion people, which was simply an insult to the IQ of all Chinese people.
Rothschild was very humble in front of Xu Qing, where did he have the courage of the family who claimed to control the whole world. The current Anglo-Chinese Bank of Xu Qing has already made the European financial industry have a serious cold, and the Rothschilds are afraid! So Rothschild was also extremely humble in front of Xu Qing and didn't dare to say anything.
"This is a director of the Royal Bank of Scotland, this is a director of Barclays......"
Xu Qing shook hands with them one by one, and the two sides were very friendly on the surface. However, Xu Qing knows that these two British banks with a long history are definitely uncomfortable, because as a financial industry, the most important wealth is actually talent and business model. Xu Qing's low-interest and then interest rate differential business style has subverted the business model of the banking industry, so that those banks are facing a run.
If it weren't for the complicated relationships of the big banks, the strong background of various shareholders, and the ability to stabilize those customers with large deposits, they might all face a run on and collapse. It is not impossible for small banks that have no connections to be run on and fail, on the contrary, there are many such things. However, those big banks also know that this will not work, and it is imperative to change their business model if they can hold on for a while. And Xu Qing's Yinghua Bank is expanding rapidly while they are changing their business model, and they have no choice. And because of Xu Qing's status as a diplomat, they don't dare to do it, which is the most embarrassing.
As for the second move, the top-stock system, the professional manager system, the board of directors system, and the board of supervisors system have directly hit their core resource -- talent. A large number of outstanding financial talents have jumped ship, and their losses are even more painful. So they are also under great pressure, and they really have a lot of hatred for Xu Qingke.
"This is the banker, who may seem very friendly on the surface, but behind the scenes, he doesn't know how to calculate you! As a banker, you have to know how to calculate and calculate, and you have to understand both! Calculation is fundamental, and calculation is the means of expansion. I'm a diplomat, otherwise these guys would have slaughtered me! Xu Qing thought with some fear in his heart.
Xu Qing is really glad that those traversers made a lot of money in foreign countries without being cheated by the local magnates? A foreigner, who has been cheated and has no one in the local area who will help you speak, can still make a lot of money? Fortunately, they have the status of a diplomat, so they have too many scruples, otherwise their heads would have flown early!
"Now, I would like to invite Xu Qing, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Anglo-Chinese Bank and Chinese Minister to Europe, to make a statement. Minister Xu Qing is a newcomer here, but he is also one of our most powerful here, so please give Minister Xu Qing a speech! The Mayor of London said.
Xu Qing soon came to a slightly higher podium, ready to start the content that he had just typed his manuscript, and at this time he knew that he also had to have a good relationship with the bankers here, if he continued to push too much, this might be a problem.
