Governor's House

"Alan, you countess ......"

After hesitating, Wilson didn't know how to speak, but fortunately, his old friend Alan understood what he wanted to say, and said disappreciatively: "It's very simple, not like a countess, more like an ordinary little girl, right?" ”

Wilson nodded and raised the wine glass in his hand and smiled apologetically: "I have also seen Princess Kate, compared to ......"

"It can't be compared, because Princess Kate is from a noble background and the countess was just an ordinary college student before, and the family environment is not very good."

"I heard that he was born in the mainland, and in the words of the Chinese government, he is the poor class, right?"

Although Alan felt that it was not good to discuss Li Xiaohan like this, he still nodded: "The Countess is my master, so it's better for us to talk less about such a topic." ”

"Understood, understood! This is a 23 percent preliminary agreement, and if there is no problem you sign it first, we will hold a press conference on the specific situation. ”

Looking at the agreement pushed by Wilsson, Allen shook his head: "There is no hurry to sign, the price of 2.8 billion pounds is acceptable, but there is one point...... We also need a port as well as a maritime transport qualification. ”

The port city is a center of trade, and there are countless ships traveling to and from Taiwan, Japan, the United States, and Southeast Asian countries, and it is believed that if you can have a port and establish a marine transportation group, it will be very profitable.

"Alan, we are old friends, and I believe you won't embarrass me."

Alan didn't answer but smiled at Wei Yixin, and it was this smile that made Wei Yixin's face full of helplessness, they were all old friends who knew each other's personalities, what the other party thought in their hearts, and the bottom line was also clear, so he could only nod helplessly and bitterly.

£2.8 billion to buy 23% of Standard Chartered Bank's shares is not expensive, it is not easy to lower the price, and it is easy to make people feel disgusted, after all, Standard Chartered Bank shares are something that cannot be bought with money.

However, everything is flexible, and not being able to lower the price does not mean that you can't ask for something else, and a port and ocean transportation qualification are worth a lot. Overall, Allen or Li Xiaohan made a lot of money.

"Two billion pounds?"

"That's right, in exchange for a 23 percent stake in Standard Chartered Bank and a port and ocean transport qualifications."

"Port and ocean transport qualifications? Are these profitable? ”

"If we can get the transportation order of all the groups in the Nord Kingdom, it will only be a few years before it enters the top 100 port cities."

Li Xiaohan is not worried about the transport order, although Nord has a dedicated Royal Transport Group. But the scale is not large, and it can't take care of the port city at all, so it is most suitable for these orders to be handed over to Li Xiaohan.

"Here's the agreement, take a look."

Li Xiaohan didn't care much about these things, she took them and looked at them casually and was about to put them down, but at this time she was stunned in place. Because the legal representative above is Li Xiaohan and not Joseph. Ragnar.

"This, why is this my name?"

Alan didn't see that Li Xiaohan was a little panicked, and mistakenly thought that she thought it was not good, after all, this was a wealth worth tens of billions of pounds in the future.

"When the Earl left Scotland, he said that everything in Scotland belongs to you, Madame, and it is natural that these properties in Harbor City should have your name written on them, and they belong to you."

Li Xiaohan was not happy, she was just panicked, and kept chanting in her heart: "I am now in debt of two billion pounds, and I am now in debt of two billion pounds!" ”

"Ma'am? Madam? ”

"Steward Allen, how much are the castles and land in Scotland worth?"

"Value?" For a moment, Butler Alan was stunned by the question. But seeing that Li Xiaohan was so anxious, he roughly estimated it and said: "About more than 2 billion pounds!" I don't know exactly how much, after all, the annual land price is not very stable, especially ......"

"It's okay, it's okay! It can also be made up, and it can be made up. ”

If Alan didn't know what happened just now, then now that everything is understood, what can Butler Alan do in this regard except for a wry smile?

"Madame, if you were to sell 23 per cent of the shares of Standard Chartered, it would be worth at least six billion pounds, and no one would sell them, because it would give you a lot of influence and a lot of dividends."

Standard Chartered's dividends are not too much, and the 23% of the shares are only a few hundred million pounds when converted into pounds. But the value of the influence attached to it is unlimited, and if there are some other businesses in Port City, then the benefits of this influence far exceed these hundreds of millions of pounds.

To put it simply, such as the port and the ocean shipping group, in addition to the Nord Kingdom, Alan believes that there are many orders. Because of what? Just because the chairman of the group is the majority shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank. It has a certain impact on Standard Chartered Bank.

The land in Hong Kong City is more profitable, many tycoons have a land business, the land needs a lot of money to borrow, and Standard Chartered Bank is their main target, the loan is not so easy, but if a major shareholder speaks, those who are not qualified do not need. Once you are eligible, the money will come down quickly.

Business opportunities are time, the sooner the loan is made, a business worth billions of Hong Kong dollars can be signed, and the later may be snatched away by others, and befriending the bank shareholders is what the tycoons must do.

How do you get along with these bank shareholders? Valuable gifts often don't work, because people have money and can buy them themselves, and some business orders are king.

It's not an exchange of interests, but the first to pay, and when you have a need, the other party will no longer be embarrassed to refuse, after all, for these international bank shareholders, it is just a matter of words.

"Six billion pounds? How can it be! ”

How could it be that it refers to why things at this price are generally sold to themselves at a discount, but when asked about the exit, Li Xiaohan recalled that what people valued was her status as a countess.

Seeing Li Xiaohan's face slightly red, Alan left in a hurry to avoid her embarrassment, looking at the back of Allen's housekeeper, Li Xiaohan felt that he didn't understand anything, it was too embarrassing.

"Sister!"

At this time, a small head came in, not Li Xiaoxi or anyone.

"What do you want to do?"

"I want to go out and have a look, I'm bored to death in a hotel."

The cute expression of pleading would definitely not be able to refuse if Joseph was here, but Li Xiaohan was not Li Xiaoxi, pinched her face and said viciously: "Sister is in a bad mood now, you'd better not come over and bother me." ”

"Hmm...... If you don't go, you won't go. What a murderous thing! ”

"You are not allowed to go!"

"Why!"

"I'm your sister!"

"It's not fair!"

……

"Han took 23% of the shares of Standard Chartered Bank?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the cost is estimated to be between two and five billion pounds and three billion pounds."

Glancing at Andy Joseph, he took a deep puff of his cigar and shook his head and said, "This business must not have been facilitated by Han, Butler Allen's idea!" ”

"We don't know very well, why did Your Majesty say that?"

"Why? Because with my knowledge of Han. She didn't dare to do this at all, and now she must be panicking! ”

"Panicked? Why? ”

Andy really can't understand that this is a business that can't be sought! Twenty-three percent of Standard Chartered Bank's shares are not something anyone can buy, this is a great opportunity, shouldn't Mrs. Han be happy?

"Because it would put her in a huge debt. If my guess is correct, the name of the legal person on Allen must be Li Xiaohan, and I really want to see what her expression was at that time. ”

The laughing Joseph was something Andy couldn't understand, he didn't understand why Li Xiaohan was scared by this huge debt, and he didn't understand why Joseph was so happy.

"Do you want to ...... then?"

"You don't have to worry about this, let Abner come to me."

Laughing and waving his hand, Andy asked him to find Abner, and Joseph decided to quietly help Li Xiaohan.

Soon......

"Your Majesty, are you looking for me?"

"When do oil companies pay dividends?"

"Dividends? It's not all November......"

"Inform the oil companies to see how much money is on the books, and let them ask the Countess of Aberdeen if they are ready to sell their shares in the Royal Petroleum Company."

Abner's words stunned Abner, and he looked at Joseph in disbelief. What does it mean now that Nord Royal Oil was not a gift from Joseph to his own daughter?

"Don't ask, tell the oil company!"

"Yes!"

Abner left with doubts, and Joseph stood up and looked out the window......

Regarding the matter of the Nord Royal Petroleum Company, Joseph thought about it again, he felt that his original arrangement was a little inappropriate, Gao Jingxuan and Li Xiaohan were both outsiders after all, if they were given some outside shares, there would be no problem, but all the future of the Nord Kingdom would be Charlie's, and it would be unwise to do so.

Charlie has a good personality. But no one knows what the future holds, so the best way to ensure Gao Jingxuan's mother and son, Li Xiaohan's mother and daughter is to keep them away from the Nord Kingdom, and any interests involved are far from here.

Regarding the issue of Nord Royal Petroleum's shares, Joseph will give Li Xiaohan some monetary compensation, but Gao Jingxuan ...... The family's interests in the Nord kingdom are too serious, and Flender is still a man. It's dangerous.

But there is no need to think about this now, because even if it is dangerous, it will be decades later, and in a few decades, he can always slowly arrange for Gao Jingxuan's family to start breaking away from the Nord Kingdom.

"Sister. You're very famous in Port City right now! ”

"Xiaoxi, if you want a sister, I can make you famous."

"No, no, I don't want to owe so much money at such a young age."

It's good that Li Xiaoxi doesn't ridicule, but when he ridicules Li Xiaohan, he becomes even more depressed, with a huge debt of two billion pounds, how long will it take to pay it off! (To be continued.) )
