Chapter 1115: 1121

After the weekend, Simon arranged for Veronica to be in charge of the financial audit of igritte on the west coast. He left Los Angeles again, and then he would travel around the world. His first stop was New York.

Manhattan.

The rebolds are in their mansion on the upper west side on the evening of April 9.

There is a very small social reception being held here. Most of the guests are the top powerful people in the big apple area.

"Simon, as for Nasdaq, the situation seems to be very bad recently. If you have any capital needs, please speak at any time."

The speaker is a middle-aged man with a round face and grey hair who is over 1.9 meters tall. His name is Thomas leney and his position is CEO of Bank of New York.

Simon smiles and raises his glass. "Of course, Tom, I won't be polite if I need to."

The reason why they are so hot is because of what happened before.

After the storm in February, the takeover and annexation of Mellon financial group by Bank of New York was very smooth. In addition, the collapse of the NASDAQ index in March severely damaged the financial market, which made Mellon financial group completely without the last strength to resist. At present, the two sides have basically agreed on the acquisition price.

12 billion dollars.

The main reason is that after a series of good news such as the takeover of Mellon financial by the Bank of New York, the stock price of Mellon financial rebounded again, from the lowest point of US $8.6 billion to more than US $10 billion.

Even so, Bank of New York has a huge advantage.

You know, Bank of New York tried to buy Mellon financial last year. Considering the premium, the budget was as high as $20 billion. Now, it's equivalent to saving 8 billion dollars. How can it not make people happy.

More importantly, with the tacit cooperation between the two sides this time, the Bank of New York also joined the westrow system.

Both shareholders, investors and the board of directors have responded warmly to this favorable situation.

Before that, Bank of New York, with assets of only over 70 billion US dollars, could not even enter the top 10 of Bank of America. This time, after the merger and acquisition of Mellon financial group with assets of more than 40 billion US dollars, not only did the asset scale exceed 100 billion and enter the level of world-class banks, but also the asset scale jumped to the seventh place of Bank of America.

In addition, it is possible for the Bank of New York to hit the top of the pyramid of the United States and even the world bank.

After chatting with Thomas Renyi for a while, Simon entertained some other guests and came to James Leibold again.

It's about the Bank of New York.

"After the merger, the new bank will be named New York Mellon bank. Simon, you should have no problem?"

"Oh, of course not."

Simon smiles and shakes his head. I didn't expect that James would mention this kind of triviality. Perhaps, the Bank of New York is a bit concerned. He thinks that he has a deep conflict with the Mellon family. I don't know if it will make him unhappy to keep the Mellon prefix.

Simon has always been a pragmatist, of course, will not care about these false names.

In any case, after the merger, the Mellon family will completely lose influence over the new bank of New York Mellon.

James is also expected, just smile, said: "also, after the merger, the new bank board members will increase from the current seven to 11, I have talked with Thomas, we can get two places, Simon, what's your plan?"

Both Bank of New York and Mellon financial group belong to the public holding private company with very dispersed equity, that is, the kind without absolute majority shareholders.

It seems that many shareholders belong to the common boss, but in fact they are controlled by the board of directors.

Just like before that, the entire Mellon family had only 7% of the shares in Mellon financial group, but it was able to maintain absolute control over the old bank for a long time by controlling five of the eight board seats.

Simon has long understood this hidden power rule behind the scenes of many old business tycoons in the United States. Therefore, under the premise of maintaining absolute control over the core enterprises of the westero system, he has been fighting for more board seats of other enterprises through various enterprises in the system, directly or indirectly.

In fact, it is tantamount to quietly fighting for control of the US economy.

This time, the westrow system helped lead the New York bank to annex Mellon financial group. Of course, it can't be in vain.

Even if there is no shareholding in the two companies, there are still conditions for the board of directors of the new bank after the merger. In order to create a legitimate purse, in addition to relying on the future cooperation between the two sides to establish a relationship of interests, more direct, or real power.

Even if the number of board members of the new bank increases to 11, with two seats, it is equivalent to getting 18% of the voting rights, which is absolutely not dispensable.

It's clear that this is the root of some kind of power. Even though Simon trusted James very much, he didn't casually assign this kind of personnel power to the other party. Instead, he said, "I'll think about it and I'll give you a candidate soon."It's not the first time that the two people have discussed similar issues. James just smiles and nods, and doesn't say much. If it was him, he would not easily release this power, just as in ancient times, few kings would allow their ministers to appoint officials.

It was ten o'clock in the night before leaving the reception at the Leibold's and returning to the apartment on Fifth Avenue.

After entering the apartment, I quickly found two women in a small living room next to the bedroom on the third floor, grace Clapp, who was six months pregnant, and Bryce Levison, who followed grace.

Seeing that grace is still holding her stomach, watching TV and waiting for herself, while another woman is sleeping soundly on Grace's thigh, Simon goes over, picks up Bryce, gently throws her on the carpet, and sits down in the place where the rest of the women are warm.

Bryce Levison opened her eyes in a daze, noticed the situation of someone on the sofa and herself, felt a small foot and kicked twice on the man's leg discontentedly, and then got up, stayed on the other side of the man again, huddled up in the rest position, leaned down on Simon's leg and continued to sleep.

Simon didn't leave her this time. He stroked the woman's smooth face. Then he let a finger be bitten by the woman and said to grace, "how do you feel tonight? Is the little guy naughty?"

Before grace could answer, Bryce had already spat out her man's fingers and said, "but it's noisy. I've been kicked. Otherwise, why do you think that grey is not sleeping now? It's not waiting for you."

Grace waited for Bryce to finish and explained with a smile, "she stuck it on my stomach to listen to the baby, and then she was kicked."

Bryce added hastily, "he'll be like his father in the future, bad guy."

Simon simply blocked Bryce's mouth with his fingers again, and allowed the woman on his leg to whine. He was able to have a little chat with grace for a while. After a while, he thought of what happened at the reception and asked grace with a smile: "do you know about the merger of Bank of New York with Mellon finance?"

"Yes, you do."

"Well, I've got two seats on the board of directors this time. Just one for you."

Grace shook her head. "How can this work? I don't know about banks."

Hearing this, Bryce once again broke away from the man's clutches and said, "you don't need to know anything about this kind of thing, grey. He just needs you to be a puppet. The most important thing is to be obedient."

When grace saw Bryce say that, she looked at Simon.

If that's the case, she certainly doesn't mind, or would be happy, to be his puppet.

Simon nodded: "in fact, many boards of directors of large enterprises are like this. In order to maintain their independence, they choose people who have nothing to do with the industry as directors, such as scholars, politicians, athletes and so on. As for my side, indeed, what I need is someone I can trust, because then you have the right to vote. "

Grace was about to agree, thinking of the little guy in her stomach, she bowed her head and motioned, "but I'm pregnant now. I don't care much about elite."

"It doesn't matter. It will take some time for the two companies to merge completely. You put on your name first. When the baby is born, maybe they are not on the right track."

Bryce, still on Simon's lap, said, "actually I can do it, Simon. Let me make some pocket money, too?"

The board members of the giants belong to the level of core executives. They are not only well paid, but also have various benefits. Therefore, even if they are puppets, many people enjoy it.

However, grace is trustworthy, and believe that women will pay attention, Simon will give a place. As for the young lady in my arms, she is just a young lady who has come to enjoy the rich life in the world and has never done anything serious since childhood. It's a bit of a mess to let her be a director of a bank. Simon also hopes to have a place left to choose a more professional agent.

Looking down at Bryce's more beautiful and better maintained face than grace, Simon shook his head: "it's OK for you to work so hard. If you want pocket money, I'll give you a hundred million first."

Bryce was stunned until grace patted the man on the shoulder and laughed. Then she reacted. She wanted to rebel again. Soon she was suppressed by the man and her mouth was blocked.

Because the man is leaving tomorrow, it's hard to get along with him. Even though she's sleepy, grace doesn't want to have a rest. She just hopes to talk to him more and mention another thing: "this year's elite model contest has been launched in each division. It's mainly my former assistant, Michelle, who you met. She'll be in charge of it, and I'll watch it for you. But if you need anything else, you can also talk to her directly. "

Simon just nodded.

"Also, Angela lindevo and Michelle Alves last year never met you. Why don't you take them to Europe this time? Fashion week hasn't been long. They are very free now."

Bryce really can't stand it. She broke away from the man's clutches again and said, "grey, you're just his lover, not a pimp. Why do you always help him find a woman?"Grace ignored Bryce's poisonous tongue and leaned gently on his shoulder along with the strength of the man holding his hand. She looked very satisfied.

I don't care what I am.

As long as it's his.

This completely hopeless appearance makes Bryce even more angry, or, she doesn't know whether she is angry or something else. Seeing that grace is also like a man, she reaches over to block her mouth. She can't help opening her mouth and wants to bite it, but after the man takes a glance, she doesn't dare to make any effort.

Well.

Didn't you save yourself?

The next day was April 10, Thursday.

After breakfast, saying goodbye to grace, Simon boarded the next flight to London.

I still didn't bring the two vases that grace talked about last night. There is no shortage of time in Europe. After all, more is business.

Britain will hold a new prime minister election on May 1.

The current westero system, because of its increasingly large scale, is more and more obviously influenced by a country's macro policies. Simon has to spend more time on this.

The purpose of this special stay in London is to communicate with some political candidates in advance.

In fact, the construction of the network is just like this. It's far less complicated and mysterious than some people think. They meet each other at the party reception. Even if they talk about something, as long as they express some tendencies with each other, a line will be built. Of course, if they want to maintain it, they need all kinds of substantive cooperation, and it's better to be mutually beneficial.

In the schedule, Finland is next to Britain.

Now that you are in Europe, Nokia headquarters will definitely need to visit.

And then Italy.

Several of melisandro's core brands are from Italy. With the continuous development of this fashion giant, the layout of westero system in Italy naturally continues to extend, and its influence on this country is also growing rapidly.

The last stop in Europe, no doubt, is Ukraine.

The schedule is still arranged early. During Simon's arrival in Ukraine, the rifni free trade zone will be officially established. Kuchma also confirmed that he will personally attend the official ceremony of signing the free trade agreement between rifni free trade zone and the representatives of the first group of 17 countries that have been negotiated. As the backstage agent, Simon does not intend to appear in public, and the two will definitely have to have some contact in private.

After last year's sherban assassination, I gradually found that my prime minister razarenko was not only more and more uneasy, but also threatened his own power. Kuchma has confirmed that he will take the other side.

However, although they both belong to the petrovsk Gang, razarenko has become a powerful force and is not able to win if he wants to. At this time, the two sides are playing games.

Simon and the representative of the vestro system in Ukraine, the Rovno Gang, are totally indifferent.

Of course, it's just a cold look.

Even this kind of indifference represents Simon's attitude. He doesn't want the political situation in Ukraine to be too stable. Once Kiev stabilizes, it's inevitable that the self-contained Rovno gang will become more and more conspicuous.

That's the same thing.

people should not be too idle.

In the cabin of the Boeing 767, Simon is in his study, looking through a resume of Anthony Blair, writing and drawing on the sketchy paper with a pencil.

Two more names have been written down on the draft paper.

Hot girls.

Harry Potter.

In old capitalist countries such as Britain, the political system has a strong continuity. Therefore, even Simon, a big butterfly, has not been able to influence Anthony Blair, the new British Prime Minister candidate. According to the British poll, Blair will be the next prime minister.

However, such as the famous spice girls in my memory, and another Harry Potter fantasy series, which made a once depressed female writer rich more than the queen of England, are lost by butterflies.

Neither of them surprised Simon.

Spice girls should have been born last year. However, after the "American Idol" fire, it was introduced into Britain last year, which also caused a sensation. As a result, the British music circle was attracted most of the attention by British idol last year, including the rising new musicians, who were also won by Denise records in the United Kingdom.

With the overall decline of the recording industry, the resources of the industry are quite limited, and "British Idol" accounts for the majority of the total, so it is not surprising that the hot girl group has disappeared.

Another is "Harry Potter"

the former "Harry Potter", which is similar to "huanzhuge" that Simon just handed over to Ren Jingxi some time ago. Maybe when J.K. Rowling was on a train, he happened to see a little boy with black frame glasses outside the window. He was inspired and had a series of ideas.

This time, J. K. Rowling is unlikely to have the same fate again.
