Chapter 582 The third largest bank in the UK

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

Tang Yuan glanced in the direction of Lu Shuyuan's finger, then smiled and waved his hand: "Christie's auction house is interested, but I have prepared the vehicle in advance before leaving for London. Let's wait here for a while."

"Director Tang, you are too polite."

When Lu Shuyuan heard this, she did not show any overly surprised expression, because people with a status like Tang Yuan always have strict requirements for the safety and comfort of their vehicles, so it is normal to prepare their own vehicles.

While the two were talking, suddenly the roar of diesel engines came from a distance, and they saw a fleet of Chevrolet Suburbans and Mercedes-Benz Pullman S680s, speeding towards Tang Yuan, and finally stabilized Stopped in front of Tang Yuan.

Needless to say, this Mercedes-Benz Pullman S680 was naturally brought from China by Tang Yuan. Its bulletproof body, bulletproof glass, bulletproof tires, explosion-proof chassis and built-in air self-circulation system are second only to the President of the United States in terms of safety. You can't find a car just anywhere.

When traveling abroad, personal safety is always the first priority. Having this car by your side is like having an extra piece of insurance, and Tang Yuan naturally has to carry it with him.

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

"Chairman Tang, hello, hello!"

"I am Gami Rafati from the office of the Board of Directors of Barclays Bank. I was entrusted by the Board of Directors to come here to greet Chairman Tang. I will be at your disposal throughout the next period of time. If you have any needs, you can assign them to I, the Board of Directors of Barclays, wish you a great time in London!”

The middle-aged man came to Tang Yuan and immediately performed a standard gentleman's courtesy. At the same time, he looked at Tang Yuan with respect, first identified himself, and then conveyed the welcome and wishes of the Board of Directors of Barclays Bank.

Gami Rafati bowed slightly and responded: "You are a director of Barclays Bank, and these are the rights you deserve."

Logically speaking, it is difficult to be elected as a director with such a small share of equity. However, due to Andy Bogard's huge influence in the European financial field and even the global financial field, Barclays Bank made an exception for Andy Bogard. absorbed into the board of directors.

Gami Rafati pointed to the motorcade in front of him and then added.

When Tang Yuan heard this, he nodded slightly and smiled, but he did not deny anything, because the inheritance donated by Andy Bogard did contain the equity of Barclays Bank, and the amount was not very large, only 4.2%.

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

"Chairman Tang, you are too polite."

"Chairman Tang, according to your request, these 18 Chevrolet Suburbans are all modified vehicles with good bulletproof performance. Each vehicle can seat seven people. I don't know if they can meet your needs."

After Andy Bogard passed away, the other party donated all his property to the Victor Foundation, which doubled the influence and overall size of the Victor Foundation. Under this circumstance, Barclays Bank wanted to be on good terms with Victor. The foundation naturally extended the title of director left by Andy Bogard to the Victor Foundation.

This time Tang Yuan went to London. Being in a foreign country, he had to rely on some local forces after all. 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 him to The other party came forward to contact Barclays Bank.

Tang Yuan's thoughts were swirling, and Lu Shuyuan's heart was already in turmoil. As a senior executive at the Christie's auction house headquarters, he naturally has to deal with banks frequently, so the name of Barclays Bank is very familiar to Lu Shuyuan.

As one of the largest commercial banks in the UK, Barclays is the third largest banking company in the UK after HSBC and Royal Bank of Scotland. It operates in about 60 countries around the world and has more than 2100 branches in the UK. , with more than employees worldwide.

It is no exaggeration to say that Barclays is a financial behemoth standing in the UK, and even Christie's auction house has to look up to it.

According to relevant information provided by Christie's auction house headquarters, Lu Shuyuan originally thought that Tang Yuan was so young that it was already rare to achieve such an achievement. Unexpectedly, less than half an hour after the two met, the other party greeted her. Critical hit.

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 rose to a higher level.

"Chairman Tang, have you made any arrangements for your accommodation?"

Gami Rafati said to Tang Yuan: "Chairman Joseph heard that you were coming to London, so he specially ordered people to clean up a garden villa in the center of London overnight."

"Where is the hotel you arranged for?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Yuan turned his head and looked at Lu Shuyuan and asked.

"Dr. Tang, the hotel arranged by our bank for you is located near Knightsbridge and Hyde Park. It is only 700 meters away from the exhibition hall where our bank holds auction exhibitions. It is very convenient for you to visit at any time." Lu Shuyuan saw that the other party actually wanted to rob people, she hurriedly Said: "The hotel is the Bulgari Hotel under the Marriott Group. The room type I booked for you is also the highest-level Bulgari Suite in the Bulgari Hotel."

"Oh……"

"In this case, let's stay at your place."

Tang Yuan nodded slightly, then turned to Gami Rafati and said: "Jami, I came to London this time just to participate in Christie's Auction House's 2019 Autumn Auction. It should be more comfortable to stay at the Bulgari Hotel. It’s more convenient. As for the garden villa, please thank Chairman Joseph for me.”

"Director Tang, I will certainly convey your gratitude to you."

"But Chairman Joseph means to keep that garden villa for you temporarily. You can live in the garden villa at any time before you leave London."

Gami Rafati said to Tang Yuan with a bright smile.

"Ok."

"Then let it be vacant for the time being and go take a look when you have time."

Tang Yuan nodded slightly, without any hesitation, and then everyone did not stay in front of the airport for too long. Tang Yuan boarded the Mercedes-Benz Pullman S680, and many other bodyguards boarded the Chevrolet Suburban. The entire convoy quickly left Heathrow Airport...
