Rebirth of England.

Chapter 714 Financial Woman

This story begins with the "accidental" car accident of Ashley Webb of William Webb Capital.

After that, Barron also retaliated against the Rothschild family. Benjamin Rothschild's very close friend and partner was killed in a car accident shortly afterwards.

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

Although both sides have had to restrain their methods, the conflicts between them have not disappeared.

After all, before this, William Weber Capital had made 25 billion euros from the LCR Rothschild Group through a bet agreement, which made them very painful.

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

So next, William Weber Capital launched a commercial offensive against the Rothschild family - 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 much sooner than LCR Rothschild Group and had 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 is already larger in scale, so they need to consider more things 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 offered, William Weber Capital could be a little "willful" and offer better conditions than the LCR Rothschild Group. Therefore, at that time, they intercepted some of the Rothschild family's M&A targets.

But after being provoked like this, the Rothschild family will naturally not be outdone and will try to intercept William Weber Capital's acquisition targets.

And the more William Weber Capital values ​​a company, the more they raise prices...

Otherwise, if we are always suppressed by such an emerging capital, then anyone can bully us 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 right after she finished her recuperation and started working. This also shows how much she values ​​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 LCR Rothschild Group.

Having said that, in fact, this German financial institution is quite large in itself, and judging from the 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 profits every year.

If this were not the case... the Rothschild family is not stupid. How could they buy a company at a high price just because William Weber Capital showed its intention to acquire it?
Even if it is for the purpose of intercepting, their acquisition process will be a little hasty compared to normal mergers and acquisitions, but some necessary investigations will definitely be carried out.

In the end, Barron and his team achieved their goal, allowing the 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 in Europe. Of course, it is still far from the time of a complete outbreak. However, as the Greek government announced their actual debt situation, the first domino fell... This was still the very beginning. Knowing that the European sovereign debt crisis was about to break out, Baron instructed the DS Group to investigate the situation in Greece, during which he discovered the insurance agreement between Goldman Sachs and the German financial institution.

This is not surprising. Goldman Sachs itself is very "cunning". When it comes to understanding Greece's finances, no one knows it better than Goldman Sachs - after all, they helped the other party beautify the financial situation at that time, so naturally they were able to obtain a lot of real data.

That is why, out of prudence, they sought out the German financial institution to guarantee the $10 billion they lent to Greece.

It was this information that made Barron turn his attention to the German financial institution. After investigating the company, he found that not only Goldman Sachs, but also many Wall Street companies that provided sovereign debt bond funds to countries including Greece and Ireland 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 new to. After tasting the "sweetness" from Goldman Sachs, the financial institution was more receptive to this kind of business.

This would also allow Barron to incorporate the financial institution into his plans against the Rothschild family as a noose.

……

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

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

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

“It’s our pleasure.”

The man who was talking to Barron was named Xavier Gio, a French entrepreneur.

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

Christine Lagarde, who always appears in public with silver hair, 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 the global law firm in its 50-year history.

Now, Christine Lagarde is the Minister of Finance, Economy and Industry of France. She is the first female finance minister of France and also the first female finance minister of the G7 group.

Baron knew that this woman, known as the "Coco Chanel of the financial world", would become the first female president of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the first female president of the European Central Bank.

Therefore, it is very necessary to maintain good relations with each other now.
