Barclays Bank has a long history of more than 300 years and always believes that it is the forerunner of the industry. In addition, it is the first British bank to accept the expansionary Wall Street Culture and set up its own investment bank.

Even when the global financial crisis is raging and the world's banking industry is in the face of credit crisis, Barclays Bank is not willing to turn to the government for capital injection to make the government become the main shareholder of the bank. They prefer to choose the shareholders and institutions of Duli, and also put an end to the government's involvement in the board of directors of the bank.

In April this year, Barclays Bank got 5.8 billion pounds of investment from Chinese Dong investors under the bridge of investment financial brokers, and Barclays paid 12% of the shares.

With the stock index plummeting by more than 70%, and the £ 5.8 billion is currently running out of money, Monday's board of directors decided to raise funds from the middle Dong desert landlords in a planned way, but this measure will dilute the existing investors' share capital and make them pay higher costs.

However, in the face of the cutting of middlemen, after refinancing, a total of £ 230 million of expenses and fees may be incurred to pay the rebate to those desert landlords investors and their consultants to help ensure the financing business.

What makes Barclays' management more headache is how to eliminate the anger of the confused shareholders, who are deeply dissatisfied with the fact that the bank has given the favorable conditions to the group of desert landlords who took advantage of the fire.

For these desert landlords who want to benefit from their families and the whole team, Barclays Bank is really gnashing its teeth and helpless at the same time. Nevertheless, the bank must explore various ways to get through the current credit crisis.

I can't help it. That's the way it is right now. Cash is the king. Everyone who has cash is the master!

“。。。 I don't know. Would you like to welcome my investment? "

Andy's voice fell, and the whole conference room became very quiet. Everyone's breathing was clear and audible.

At the moment, Andy Smith's sunshine smile became so ferocious in the eyes of everyone at Barclays Bank, which made them stunned and felt a chill.

Robert Raymond, President of Barclays Bank, blushed and his face twitched uncontrollably. Even an idiot, he now wants to understand the vicious means of the young man with harmless smile in front of him.

Lehman's investment banking business is $800 million, the new stadium is £ 300 million, plus the current £ 1 billion.

The young man in front of him has taken nearly 1.9 billion pounds of cash from Barclays Bank...

Thinking of this, Robert's eyes were sharp and Andy Smith, who had been smiling all the time, looked at him. If his guess is true, that is to say, the bastard in front of him has been focusing on Barclays since the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers!

It's no wonder that the good thing about the loan for the new stadium will fall on Barclays. Behind the pressure on the stock price of Barclays Bank, there is the shadow of the "genius".

Robert looked at Andy Smith's men, who were also stunned, and their red faces were more ugly than crying. He took a deep breath to suppress his inner shame and anger. His voice became a little dry: "ha ha, I have to admire Mr. Smith's brilliance!"

The silence in the conference room was finally broken. Everyone's eyes were all focused on Andy's face, which was made of 18K white gold, with 996 diamonds and 92 rubies. The princess Rainier III limited edition pen, worth 200000 euros, was rotating on his thumb.

Several other people focused on the rotating pen, as if they were worried about the pen spinning out.

"Pa!"

Andy grabs the rotating pen in his hand, stands up on the conference table, shows a big white tooth and chuckles: "why, Mr. Raymond doesn't welcome my investment? You know, my money doesn't have middlemen to earn the difference! You don't need to give me a kickback! My advisers don't need you to bribe them! "

With that, Andy smiled and opened his arms to show his subordinates sitting on both sides, "I'll go to the door myself to give you money, because I'm looking after you!"

"Hoo --"

Robert Raymond's left fist under the table was clenched tightly, there was no blood, blue tendons, some uncontrollable tremors in his body, and he took a deep breath again, and then he said with a smile: "so I don't know how much Mr. Smith is going to invest?"

"At today's share price, I'm losing £ 1.4 billion, 10 percent, a board seat." Andy is playing with the pen in his hand. He says with a leisurely smile.

"Ha ha..." Raymond's laugh was hoarse. Pirou's face turned red. At the moment, he confirmed his guess. The bastard in front of him was really calculating them from the beginning. Except that 300 million loans were special funds for the stadium, the 1.4 billion pounds were all the funds that the opposition had cut from them and just pulled out.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Smith. I can't decide this kind of thing on my own. I need a board of Directors...""That's a pity. I'm flying to Dibai tomorrow. I'm invited to the opening ceremony of a hotel. There's no way..." Andy shook his head helplessly and continued: "I will go back to the United States later, so I'm very busy. If I can, I'll wait here for a while. I believe that if your bank wants me to invest, the members of the board of directors will vote for it. Maybe my participation will make the stock price of Barclays Bank rebound, maybe! What do you think? "

Robert Raymond's expression changed constantly. Looking at Andy Smith's calm smile, he knew that the other side was determined to eat them, and Andy Smith's method was blameless. After all, it was a normal commercial loan and would pay interest to Barclays Bank.

From the signing of the contract to the receipt of funds, the one billion pounds belongs to Andy Smith. He can spend whatever he wants!

"Well, please wait a moment, Mr. Smith. I'll excuse you for a moment. If you need anything, you can directly tell them..." Raymond finally smiled and shook his head. He stood up and shook hands with Andy. No matter how unwilling he was, he had to inform the shareholders of the matter. The shares of Barclays Bank can't be severely damaged any more. Not only investors can't bear it, but also the negotiation with desert landlords will be affected.

In the conference room, Andy leans leisurely on the chair to taste the coffee. He catches a glimpse of Amar and stares at him with big eyes. He chuckles, "isn't it handsome?"

"Ha ha, yes, it's really handsome!" Amar smiles gracefully, but the blush on her cheek makes her charming.

For all this happened in front of her, Amar was really stunned. She turned her hand over the clouds and covered her hands for the rain. Andy Smith easily played with each other's hands. Until Robert Raymond left, she was separated from the aura created by Andy Smith.

"That's what everyone says." Andy frowned at her and chuckled.

"Ha ha..." All of them chuckled. Amar seemed to realize something. His cheeks flashed a blush. He flirted with Andy in a charming white way. For this charming young boss, his heart also turned slightly.

The little stars at one side looked at the little assistant of the big devil with adoring eyes, and saw the attitude of the big devil towards Amal. He could not help but turn his mouth and spit in his heart, Bitchi.

The board resolution of Barclays Bank didn't make Andy wait too long. Half an hour later, the door of the conference room was opened, and senior executives such as group president Raymond, chief executive Wally, head of personal banking department siegels and head of financial department Lucas came in with serious faces.

Under Raymond's introduction, Andy and a group of executives with different faces of Barclays Bank shook hands and met each other. After sitting down separately again, Raymond's smile became natural. First of all, he said, "the board of directors has just made a voting resolution. For Smith's investment intention, the affirmative vote is the majority, so we can start talking!"

"Ha ha, a wise choice..." Andy at this time no longer convergence of their own strong, quietly said, let the meeting room of Barclays all corners of the mouth twitch.

Andy knows that there must be a lot of people who are deeply dissatisfied with his behavior, but he also knows that these investors will vote for him, because reason will overcome their feelings and understanding, and it is the key to explore various ways to get through the current credit crisis in the banking industry. The name of Andy Smith is enough to make the stock price of Barclays rebound against the market!
