Chapter 580: The third largest bank in the UK

After Lu Shuyuan walked out of Heathrow Airport with Tang Yuan, she pointed to the Rolls-Royce Phantom and two luxury business buses parked not far away, and said respectfully to Tang Yuan: "Tang Dong, this is the car we have prepared for you and your subordinates, I hope you can be satisfied." ”

Tang Yuan glanced in the direction of Lu Shuyuan's finger, and then smiled and waved his hand: "Your Christie's auction house has a heart, but I have already prepared the vehicle in advance before I go to London, let's wait here for a while." ”

"Tang Dong, you are too polite."

When Lu Shuyuan heard this, he didn't show any overly surprised looks, because a person of Tang Yuan's status has always had strict requirements for the safety and comfort of the car, and it is normal to prepare the vehicle by himself.

Just as the two were talking, suddenly the roar of the diesel engine came from a distance, and they saw a convoy composed of Chevrolet Suburban and Mercedes-Benz Pullman S680 speeding towards Tang Yuan, and finally stopped in front of Tang Yuan.

Needless to say, this Mercedes-Benz Pullman S680 was naturally brought out by Tang Yuan from China, with its bulletproof body, bulletproof glass, bulletproof tires, explosion-proof chassis and built-in air self-circulation system, the degree of safety is second only to the special car of the President of the United States, such a car can not be found anywhere.

In a foreign country, personal safety is always the primary factor, and having this car by your side is equivalent to having more insurance, and Tang Yuan naturally has to carry it with him.

After the entire convoy came to a standstill, a middle-aged man got out of the passenger seat of the Chevrolet Suburban and walked straight to Tang Yuan.

"Chairman Tang, hello, hello!"

"I'm Gami Rafati from the Board of Directors Office of Barclays Bank, I have been entrusted by the Board of Directors to come to greet Chairman Tang, I will be at your disposal throughout the coming period, if you have any needs, you can delegate them to me, the Board of Directors of Barclays Bank sincerely wishes you a great time in London!"

The middle-aged man came to Tang Yuan and directly performed a standard gentleman's salute, and at the same time, he looked at Tang Yuan with respect on his face, first identified himself, and then conveyed the welcome and best wishes of the board of directors of Barclays Bank.

"Chairman Tang, according to your requirements, these 18 Chevrolet Suburban are all modified cars with good bulletproof performance, each car can seat seven people, I don't know if they can meet your needs."

Gami Lafati pointed to the convoy in front of him and added.

"That's enough." Tang Yuan bowed slightly, and responded with a smile: "Thank you Chairman Joseph and the directors for me." ”

"Chairman Tang, you are too polite."

Gami Lafati bowed slightly and responded: "You are a director of Barclays, and these are your rights. ”

When Tang Yuan heard this, he smiled slightly, but he didn't deny anything, because in the inheritance donated by Andy Bogard, there is indeed an equity in Barclays Bank, and the amount is not very large, only 4.2%.

It stands to reason that it would be difficult to be elected to a director with such a small share of equity, but because of Andy Burgard's huge influence in the European financial field and even the global financial field, Barclays Bank has included Andy Burgard into the board of directors.

After Andy Bogard's death, the other party donated all his property to the Victor Foundation, which multiplied the influence and overall scale of the Victor Foundation.

Tang Yuan went to London this time, he was in a foreign country, and after all, he had to rely on some local forces, so after Tang Yuan decided to go to London last night, he called Danny Grant, who was far away in the United States, and asked the other party to contact Barclays Bank.

Tang Yuan's thoughts were wandering, and Lu Shuyuan's heart had already set off a storm.

As an executive at the headquarters of Christie's auction house, it is natural that he has to deal with banks frequently, so the name of Barclays Bank can be described as thunderous for Lu Shuyuan.

As one of the largest commercial banks in the United Kingdom, Barclays is the third largest banking company in the United Kingdom after HSBC and the Royal Bank of Scotland, operating in about 60 countries around the world, with more than 2,100 branches in the United Kingdom and more than 70,000 employees worldwide.

It is no exaggeration to say that Barclays is a financial behemoth that stands tall in the UK, and even Christie's auction houses have to look up to it.

According to the relevant information given by the headquarters of Christie's auction house, Lu Shuyuan originally thought that Tang Yuan was young and it was rare to have such an achievement, but she didn't expect that within half an hour of the two meeting, the other party gave her a critical blow.

Director of Barclays Bank!

This identity alone is enough for Tang Yuan to walk sideways in the UK!

Thinking of this, Lu Shuyuan's respect for Tang Yuan in his heart went to a higher level.

"Chairman Tang, is there any arrangement for your accommodation?"

Gami Lafati said to Tang Yuan again: "Chairman Joseph heard that you came to London, and specially asked someone to clean up a garden villa in the center of London overnight. ”

"Where is the hotel you arranged?"

When Tang Yuan heard this, he turned his head to look at Lu Shuyuan and asked.

"Tang Dong, the hotel arranged by our bank is located near Knightsbridge and Hyde Park, only 700 meters away from the exhibition hall where our bank holds the lot exhibition, which is very convenient for you to visit at any time." Lu Shuyuan saw that the other party was intent on robbing people, and she hurriedly said: "The hotel is the Bulgari Hotel under the Marriott Group, and the room type I have booked for you is also the highest level of Bulgari Suite in the Bulgari Hotel." ”

"Oh......"

"In that case, let's stay with you."

Tang Yuan bowed slightly, then turned his head to Gami Lafati and said: "Gami, I came to London this time to participate in the 2019 autumn auction of Christie's auction house, it should be more convenient to stay in the Bulgari Hotel, as for the garden villa, please thank Chairman Joseph for me." ”

"Tang Dong, your gratitude, I will definitely convey it for you."

"But that garden house, Chairman Joseph meant to keep it for you, and you can go to the garden house at any time before you leave London."

Gami Lafati smiled brightly and said to Tang Yuan.

"Okay."

"Then it's empty for the time being, and I'll take a look when I have time."

Tang Yuan bowed slightly, but he didn't twist anything, and then everyone didn't stay in front of the airport for too long, Tang Yuan boarded the Mercedes-Benz Pullman S680, and the rest of the bodyguards boarded the Chevrolet Suburban, and the whole convoy quickly left Heathrow Airport......
