Chapter 714 Financial Woman

This matter started with the "accidental" car accident of Ashley Weber of William Weber Capital.

After that, Barron also retaliated against the Rothschild family. Benjamin Rothschild's very close friend and partner also died in a car out of control shortly afterwards.

This fight between the two sides caused dissatisfaction among the French upper class, and they warned the Rothschild family and the Weber family respectively, not allowing them to use such violent methods to confront each other again.

Although both parties had to restrain their means, the contradictions between them did not disappear.

After all, before this, William Weber Capital made 2.5 billion euros from LCR Rothschild Group through a bet agreement, which made them very painful.

On the other hand, on the Weber family side, Ashley almost died in a car accident, and her very respected female assistant also died in that accident.

So next, William Weber Capital launched an offensive against the Rothschild family in business. When Ashley Weber was still recuperating, he directed William Weber Capital to intercept the other party and buy the two companies that LCR Rothschild Group was originally going to acquire at a high price.

After all, at that time, William Weber Capital was established shorter than LCR Rothschild Group, and there was still a lot of room for expansion. After becoming a major shareholder of Natixis Bank, they could obtain financing support from the bank in addition to their own funds.

In contrast, LCR Rothschild was already larger in scale, and they had more things to consider when conducting mergers and acquisitions...

As the saying goes, a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. At that time, in terms of the acquisition conditions that could be given, William Weber Capital could be a little "willful" to give better conditions than LCR Rothschild Group. Therefore, at that time, they intercepted some of the Rothschild family's acquisition targets.

But after being provoked like this, the Rothschild family naturally would not give in and would try to intercept the acquisition targets of William Weber Capital.

And the more William Weber Capital values, the greater their price increase will be...

Otherwise, if they are always suppressed by such an emerging capital, then everyone can bully them in the future!

During that period, William Weber Capital had the most contact with the German financial institution. Ashley Weber even flew to Germany to visit the institution as soon as she had just finished recuperating and started working. This also shows her importance to the other party.

Therefore, the Rothschild family is determined to acquire this institution.

Finally, after offering a higher acquisition price than William Weber Capital and better acquisition conditions, the German financial institution finally became a subsidiary of the LCR Rothschild Group.

Having said that, in fact, this German financial institution itself is quite large, and in terms of financial data, it is also a very high-quality company - after all, apart from the "extremely small probability risk", just their insurance agreement with Wall Street capital including Goldman Sachs Group on the debts of Greece and other countries can bring them considerable income every year.

If it is not the case... the Rothschild family is not stupid, how could they just take over the target at a high price just because William Weber Capital showed its intention to acquire a company?

Even if it is to intercept, their acquisition process will be a little more hurried than usual mergers and acquisitions, but some necessary investigations will definitely be carried out.

In the end, Barron and his team still achieved their established goals, allowing LCR Rothschild Group to successfully acquire the German financial institution, which became one of their nooses.

Now, it is only the initial stage of the sovereign debt crisis in Greece and even Europe. Of course, it is far from the time of a complete outbreak. However, as the Greek government announced their actual debt situation, the first domino fell...

This was at the very beginning. Knowing that the European sovereign debt crisis was about to break out, Barron instructed DS Group to investigate the situation in Greece, and found the insurance agreement between Goldman Sachs and the German financial institution.

This is not surprising. Goldman Sachs is very "cunning". If you want to know more about Greek finances, no one is more clear than Goldman Sachs - after all, they helped the other party to beautify the financial situation at that time, so they could naturally get a lot of real data.

It is for this reason that they acted cautiously and found the German financial institution to provide security for the $1 billion they lent to Greece.

It was this information that made Barron look at the German financial institution. After investigating this company, he found that not only Goldman Sachs, but also many Wall Street companies that provided sovereign debt bond funds to Greece, Ireland and other countries, had similar insurance agreements with that institution.

After all, it is better to do business with someone you are familiar with than with someone you are not familiar with. After tasting the "sweetness" from Goldman Sachs, the financial institution is more receptive to this kind of business.

This also allows Barron to include this financial institution in his plan against the Rothschild family and make it a noose.

…

"Thank you for the hospitality, Your Highness. This is a rare place where you can relax…"

The middle-aged man who looked calm and elegant smiled and said to Barron.

"Mr. Gio, you are always welcome in Neverland. Next time I go to France, if possible, I hope to meet again."

"That's our honor."

The man talking to Barron in front of him is Xavier Gio, a French entrepreneur.

Of course, he was invited by Barron to appear in Neverland not because of his status as a businessman, but because of his lover, Christine Lagarde.

Christine Lagarde, who always appears in public with her silver hair, once became the chairman of the global executive committee of Baker McKenzie, one of the world's largest law firms, in 1999.

This also makes her the first female chairperson of this global law firm in its 50 years of existence.

Now, Christine Lagarde’s position is France’s Minister of Finance, Economy and Industry. She is France’s first female Finance Minister and the first female Finance Minister of the G7 Group.

Barron knew that the woman known as the "Coco Chanel (founder of Chanel) of finance" would also become the first female president in the history of the International Monetary Fund and the first female banker of the European Central Bank. long.

Therefore, it is very necessary to have a good relationship with the other party now.
