Reborn Capital Madman

Obtaining Johnson Matthey Bank's gold trading license is currently the top priority for Gaoyi. After Gaoyi's general manager Ye Licheng received the notice from Gao Xian, he immediately rushed from Xiangjiang to London to handle it personally.

It has to be said that it is quite convenient to expand business from Hong Kong and Australia to the UK. Gaoyi UK, which already has a membership seat on the London Stock Exchange, has now taken another step and got a carrot and a higher-level scam.

Gold trading license.

In contrast, in the United States, Gaoyi relies on the channels controlled by partners such as Merrill Lynch, Goldman Sachs, and Chase. After all, without a license, you cannot enter the market in person.

Of course, the flexibility, foresight, efficiency and other unique advantages of Goyi America’s business are also unmatched by Goyi UK.

Generally speaking, the atmosphere in London's Financial Street is a bit lazy at this stage. Even the normal processes are running slowly. The gentlemen who sip coffee slowly, read newspapers, and talk about work are indeed decent and comfortable, but they are resting on their laurels.

, not to mention competing with the tough guys on Wall Street, even London’s status as a global financial center is about to decline.

The Thatcher administration was aware of this potential crisis, so while vigorously promoting the privatization of British state-owned enterprises, it was also planning to put pressure on London's financial streets to activate competition, including studying how to allow foreign capital to enter.

Or lower the threshold for foreign investment to enter.

The successful acquisition of Johnson Matthey by Goyi was the prelude to the Thatcher government's attempt to rest on its laurels in London's Financial Street. Even if others felt sour, they had nothing to say.

Gao Xian knew clearly that Gao Yi had snatched the meat from the Australian consortium this time, so he couldn't be happy too early, so he told Ye Licheng to cleverly communicate with London when helping the Bank of England deal with the non-performing loans of Johnson Matthey Bank.

Claims from the Johnson Matthey bank vault robbery at Heathrow International Trade Center are on the hook.

The three tons of gold lost by Johnson Matthey are not all its own. This is the benefit of holding a gold trading license. If others want gold, they have to go through the hands of the five major gold dealers in London.

Lloyds Insurance Company, which provides insurance services to Johnson Matthey Bank, is not an insurance company that many people immediately think of, but an insurance exchange established under the Lloyds Act of 1871 and composed of a number of members.

There shouldn't be any problem with the claim settlement ability, but I'm worried that the process will be as slow as a classic car.

Ye Lichen understood clearly that one should not be too down-to-earth in life, otherwise it is easy to suffer losses these days. "You can go to Frankfurt with confidence and leave the acquisition of Johnson Matthey Bank to me."

Gao Xian smiled slightly, and decided not to rush to Frankfurt yet. While the favor in front of him was still warm, he could eat a few more pieces of good meat.

Ye Licheng immediately guessed what Gao Xian was thinking. Do you want to get as many privatized stocks as possible from state-owned enterprises such as British Telecom from the primary market?

Gao Xian lamented: "If we don't seize the opportunity, the first step will be at the expense of people in North America."

The privatization of British Telecom still needs to go through a series of procedures such as the British Parliament passing a new telecommunications law. However, many rumors have already spread, including, for example, the British government hopes to sell as much of British Telecom's shares to the United States as possible

The so-called better investors.

By the way, not all the stocks that were listed after the privatization of British state-owned enterprises were immediately snatched up, because investors during this period were still relatively conservative, and those privatized British state-owned enterprises, even if they owned

Industry advantages, but investment assessment indicators such as profitability levels may not be satisfactory.

To put it bluntly, it is true that the Thatcher government spent so much effort to promote the privatization of British companies in order to raise funds. Gao Xian estimated that more than 29 billion pounds could be raised, but these companies must also have problems including operational efficiency.

Various disadvantages including inferiority.

Take Britt Oil Company, which operates oil fields in the North Sea, as an example. After the privatization was completed, its shares began to be publicly listed last year. As a result, the subscription rate was seriously insufficient, and the resulting losses can only be attributed to the underwriters themselves.

Unlucky, I made a mistake and took it upon myself.

The British government hopes to sell British Telecom's shares to as many American investors as possible. It is probably because they are afraid of another embarrassing situation like Britt Oil's stock being cold. After all, this is not the Internet era, and the general public has not yet

Realize how profitable the data transmission channels controlled by telecom operators are.

Of course, one possibility cannot be ruled out, that is, the British government hopes to use this move to help British Telecom expand its business around the world in the future, and obtain some kind of political benefits exchange conditions that can only be understood but cannot be expressed.

Compared with others who are bitten by a snake once and fear the rope for ten years, Gao Xian is confident in the appreciation of British Telecom's stock, and naturally wants to "innovate" more.

Seeing Sir Gao nagging that he couldn't find a way out, he had no choice but to bother the Prime Minister again and come to the door. Mrs. Thatcher smiled bitterly. I can help Sir Gao get some British Telecom stocks from the primary market, but Sir Gao also

You should participate in more related activities to show the outside world that the government has no so-called conspiracy against you personally.

Gao Xian promised, "Okay, okay, I will definitely cooperate with the public relations activities in this area before going to Frankfurt."

When he was saying goodbye with satisfaction, Gao Xian happened to meet an acquaintance who also came to work for government relations, Eric Dobkin, who is responsible for the securities underwriting business of Goldman Sachs. He naturally asked casually, why do you come to public relations?

Eric Dobkin couldn't hide his resentment and replied, "I heard that the British government has appointed Morgan Stanley as the underwriter of British Telecom stocks, so I decided to get every British official I can find."

All the senior government officials lobbied for it.

"According to my understanding, this matter is probably a done deal." Gao Xian thought for a while and came up with an idea: "However, using Morgan Stanley's usual underwriting methods, we can bring the institutions together and hold a wholesale conference and it will be done.

, it is estimated that the issuance effect expected by the British government will be greatly reduced."

"I think you should focus your lobbying on not being optimistic about Morgan Stanley's underwriting capabilities, so as to lay the foundation for obtaining the stock underwriting rights of other privatized British state-owned enterprises in the future."

"If it is really irreparable, then we can only settle for the next best thing." Eric Dobkin sighed, "Sir Gao has gained a lot."

Gao Xian said modestly: "I am also helping to increase the value of the assets of the Xiangjiang Exchange Fund, and I am under a lot of pressure."
