Rebirth of England.

Chapter 436: Standing on the side of the winner

"Besides this, the most likely one is the Pilot Group. They also have a vote on the board of directors. If they can get their support, then this proposal will be successful..."

From here we can see the penetration of Vanguard Group into American companies. Currently, Vanguard Group’s shareholding ratio in Sinclair Group is around 7.5%.

Of course, it is not just the Sinclair Group, the Pilot Group can be seen among the top ten shareholdings of many listed companies.

By joining the boards of directors of these companies, you can also maintain a certain degree of influence on these companies.

In addition to DS Capital and Vanguard Group, Sinclair's shareholding institutions also include Bank of New York Mellon, HG Vora Capital Management and Fidelity Investments (FMR), all of which have sent representatives to Sinclair Group. On the board of directors, their shareholding in Sinclair Group is also between 5% and 10%...

Among them, HG Vora Capital Management holds 10% of Sinclair Group shares, which is the second largest shareholding outside the Sinclair family after DS Capital.

It now appears that board members other than the Sinclair family include DS Capital, Vanguard Group, BNY Mellon, HG Vora Capital and Fidelity Investments.

John Smith needs the support of DS Capital and believes that Vanguard Group is the most likely to be persuaded...

Then among the remaining three, Bank of New York Mellon, HG Vora Capital and Fidelity Investments, one of them must have expressed support for John, and at least one is a die-hard supporter of David Smith, and then the remaining Yes, it's also leaning towards them.

After all, everything has a price behind it, and profit is what motivates him to do it.

After hearing his words, the other party also showed a relaxed expression and left him with satisfaction.

In fact, he doesn't care who ultimately wins the Sinclair family's succession battle. After all, he is a "neutral" investor.

……

Barron patted John Smith on the shoulder and said to him with a smile.

As he said, he would only be on the side of the "winner."

"In addition, I think that although the London Stock Exchange has a long history and is the earliest exchange in the world, in recent years, the application of new technologies has been relatively conservative, and it has also been challenged by German exchanges in Europe - they The fees are lower and they have gradually caught up in terms of transaction volume. Around the world, the New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq Group are also developing more rapidly. The OMX Group itself is at the forefront of the application of new technologies. Both The completion of the merger will also bring more changes to the London Stock Exchange..."

As for the Navigation Group, even if Barron and the other party are still relatively close at present, he will not say that it is for John Smith's ambitions and take the initiative to pay his favor to persuade him.

"Dr. Quinn, your speech just now shows that if the London Stock Exchange can complete the acquisition of OMX Group, after the merger of the two, it can create a world-leading financial infrastructure in the broader European market. What will it be?" A major strategic opportunity..."

"You can rest assured from my side, John, that I will be on the side of the winner."

On the TV screen, in the ITV program "Economic Hotspot", the host Joe Harriman was facing the camera and talking.

It can be seen that Joe Harriman performed very well.

However, what is shown on TV is just the appearance, or in other words, it is not her true performance. After all, even if Joe Harriman has good academic qualifications and resume, compared with ordinary people, she is definitely considered a professional, but in this During the show, there will be a whole team behind her speeches to provide her with intellectual support. This is somewhat similar to many Internet celebrities in later generations, who also need the support of a team to perform exceptionally well in front of the camera... Joe Harriman's main job is not to export his own wisdom, but to put these The "wisdom of the team" and the views on each issue are perfectly demonstrated.

This kind of experience will also be a good training for Joe Harriman's future political planning - after all, in a "discipline" system like the West, this kind of performance-oriented politician is the easiest to gain support.

"My dear, look at me, how do you think?"

Tamaran's voice came from the stairs. Barron turned his head and said casually:

"It's beautiful, baby..."

But as soon as she said this, Barron noticed her slight change in expression, and then added:
"Especially this dress, it suits you very well, it looks better than what the model wears."

Sure enough, the girl's face immediately turned cloudy, with a sweet smile, she sat next to Barron and gave him a kiss.

Next, Tamaran's attention shifted to the TV screen:

"Is this Joe Harriman? Honey, what do you say I try to be a host?"

"are you serious?"

"Well, I still want to give it a try. After all, I have a job, at least it won't be so boring..."

Barron remembered that in his previous life, Tamaran, the F1 princess, worked as a model after graduation, and later also worked as a host for a long time...

In this way, it is not a fool's errand to let her try to be a host. Well, in Barron's opinion, at least it is much more reliable than being a model.

After all, in his previous life, when this socialite was working as a model, he even took very large photos for Playboy magazine... If he was willing to feast his eyes on it at that time, then in his current identity, It's definitely unacceptable.

And it is true that Tamaran has not worked since graduation and has been doing nothing all day long - of course, with a family background like hers, even if she is not working, she can still be occupied by various activities, but this kind of life , if she likes it, Barron will let it go. Now she wants to try to work, which is not a bad idea.

"Think about it, honey, if you really want to try the job of host...I can make arrangements for you, but at work, you have to do business, don't always act like a lady... "

But before that, Barron always had to give her a vaccination. He definitely couldn't let the girl affect the normal work of his company. If that was the case, he would just capture her and come back to continue living the "boring" life of a socialite.

"I know, honey, I will definitely take it seriously."

Just when Tamaran was being coquettish to Barron, a message flashed on his phone, and Barron took a closer look:
"Plan completed, agreement reached."

Barron had a smile on his face:
"Baby, I think you can start as the host of a reality show. Well, you can experience it first..."
