Chapter 345 The frustrated Benjamin

Barron is not very interested in whether it is a family business like Hall Bank or a private bank.

As for the shares in Northrock Bank...

It is not a good time to buy shares in this bank, and once Barron buys shares in Northrock Bank, his intentions will be too obvious.

But it is also necessary to control an appropriate share of the bank.

Therefore, Barron's final advice to Catherine was to sell the shares of Hall Bank to the Hall family. As for the shares of Northrock Bank, she would keep them in her hands for the time being... and promised the Hall family that she would only serve as No. The directorship of Senrock Bank and the voting rights of this part of the shares will become concerted actors of the Hall family...

The advantage of this is that it will not intensify Catherine's relationship with the Hall family, and it can get a good price for the shares of Hall Bank she sells.

Catherine was relieved by Barron's opinion, so that at least her relationship with the Hall family would not be too tense and there would be room for relaxation.

…

Colin Hall's death was ultimately deemed an "accident."

It can be said that three parties are jointly promoting it, Barron, the Rothschild family, and the royal family.

Of course, the degree of "intention" is also different.

What is more dramatic is that the Rothschild family is the one who works hardest here. After all, they are the ones they arranged to do this - although at the time they thought it was Barron in the car...

As for Barron, he was mainly just going along with the flow.

As for the royal family, it was only because Gabriel was involved in this matter, but Gabriel was at most a bystander - she had not even seen Colin Hall that day, so the royal family just refused to let him This matter involved her, and it was just a bit of a letdown in other investigations.

But in the final analysis, apart from the Hall family, the most aggrieved family is the Rothschild family...

Next, the British Financial Services Authority (FSA) successively concluded its investigations into Standard Chartered Bank and DS Capital, and the result was that no irregularities were found in either of them.

Then, because of the release of the first issue of SDTV's new program, "The Shining Life", about the Duke of Devonshire, Barron Cavendish, and the recent events about him, it attracted a lot of attention in the UK. Therefore, the ratings are extremely high...

This also had a reverse impact on Summit Media’s share price, which rose again to more than 25 pounds, and even reached its highest point, close to 28 pounds!

At this time, no matter whether it was using financial means or "physical strikes", attempts to short the stock price of Summit Media had failed. NM Rothschild Bank was very wise and did not borrow any more shares of Summit Media to increase the amount of shares. Go short.

I can only buy shares of Summit Media during the rising stock price and return the shares I borrowed and shorted.

A rough calculation shows that in this operation, Rothschild Bank's losses were nearly 100 million pounds just from short selling on Summit Media.

What makes Benjamin Rothschild even more depressed is that most of the stocks that were finally released and bought for him at a high price were probably released by offshore companies that were previously his opponents...

Moreover, what the Rothschild family suffered in this British operation was not just the apparent loss of funds.

In addition, including the connections they used and the "allies" they lost...

For example, the Hall family, I am afraid that their relationship with them has already "turned from pink to bad", and their other collaborators may also need to consider their future relationships.

…

After this battle, Barron, through offshore companies, had previously absorbed nearly 14 million shares of Summit Media stock at a price of 20 pounds - you must know that Summit Media's circulating shares in the secondary market only have a total of 2,500 shares. Ten thousand shares.

Of course, when Summit Media's stock price rose from 25 pounds to 28 pounds, they sold about 4 million shares, most of which were bought by the NM Rothschild family to close their positions. This made He "earned" nearly 30 million pounds...

He will not keep the remaining 10 million shares of Summit Media stock in his hands, and will continue to release them in line with the stock price later...

Anyway, it is very easy to earn more than 100 million pounds in profits with just these.

In addition to driving away the Rothschild family - after all, where is their strength? Even if Barron temporarily remembers the "favor" of the other party, it is still difficult to "kill them all" at this time. ——But it is still necessary to kill the chicken to scare the monkey.

After the matter began to subside, many newspapers, including The Independent and the London Evening Standard, suddenly broke the scandal about Liberal Democratic Party MP John Coren!

It is said that as early as the summer of 2002, John met a 23-year-old male reporter (ji) in a club.

According to the male reporter (ji): "When I first contacted him, I told him on the phone that I charge 80 pounds per hour. It was already very late when we met that day. Afterwards, I guessed that he must have just finished a meeting in the House of Commons in a hurry. Came here, my apartment is a mile away from Parliament. When he arrived, although he was wearing a suit and tie, he looked a little panicked."

In the next six months or so, John Curran frequently made appointments with the male reporter (ji) over the phone.

Because John Curran loved football, he repeatedly asked him to wear various football shirts when they met.

…

As soon as this report came out, it immediately caused an uproar in the British political arena. Under the pressure of public opinion, John Curran could only issue a statement announcing his resignation as a member of Parliament.

It can be said that this incident basically ended his political career.

I'm afraid he should have expected this result since the review of the company owned by Duke Devonshire ended in a hurry with no violations.

At the same time, another Labor MP who initially came forward to demand an investigation into Barron's companies did not wait long.

The news that he had an affair with his female assistant, and that she gave birth to an illegitimate child for him, was quickly reported in the newspapers...

As a result, of course, he could only resign sadly and end his political career.

Barron will definitely want them to end their political careers and will keep an eye on them from now on. After all, only in this way can others know that if you use them as pawns to attack yourself, you must have the consciousness of being ruined in the end.
