Rebirth of England

"No, I want you to stay with me...Barron."

As soon as a maid next to Barron took over Tamaran, she saw her grabbing the corner of Barron's clothes and speaking in a weak voice, but with a very firm expression.

"I'll take her up."

After signaling to the maid, Barron directly picked up Tamaran by the waist and walked upstairs.

Although Tamaran is tall, Barron still looks very relaxed when he holds her sideways.

Tamaran was wearing a knee-length dress, black stockings, and high heels... holding her like this, Barron's hand could feel against her stockings... the quality was very good.

After he picked up the other person, the girl put her arms around Barron's neck and leaned on his shoulder.

Until Barron walked into the bedroom and was about to put the girl on the bed...

"You take a rest here first, um..."

Unexpectedly, Tamaran took the initiative to come forward and kissed Barron's lips.

When Barron subconsciously developed various martial arts skills, he discovered that although this girl looked very...hot, she was very unfamiliar in actual operations...

Just now, since meeting Colin Hall and Catherine, Barron had begun to feel a little angry. Now, under the girl's active teasing, Barron was no longer prepared to endure it.

Especially when she said in Barron's ear:

"I want you, honey..."

After these words, Barron was ready to learn some knowledge with her...

…

There was a text message, and Barron got up from the bed and put on his pajamas.

Looking at Tamaran who was still immersed in sleep with tears in the corners of her eyes, he picked up the phone and walked out of the bedroom.

The text message was from Nigel Inkster, some simple information about Colin Hall.

More details will be sent to Barron's mailbox.

However, after seeing the content of this text message, Barron already had a general understanding of Colin Hall's background.

Colin Hall, born in 1977, is 27 years old this year. He is a direct descendant of the Hall family and the heir of this generation of their family.

The Hall family is a relatively well-established banking family. The Hall Bank managed by their family is also one of the oldest private banks in England.

Like some other families, the Hall family has experienced glory and decline. At present, in addition to managing Hall Bank at 37 Fleet Street, London, the Hall family also holds about 18% of Northron Rock Bank. shares and is the largest shareholder of this bank.

Barron was no stranger to Northron Rock Bank. Part of the initial £25 million loan borne by the Devonshire family was issued by North Rock Bank.

In order to solve the urgent need for these loans, Barron had negotiated with representatives of those banks. Among them, the first one to jump out and challenge was Burris, the representative of Northrock Bank.

Later, the bank was willing to lose some interest and asked Barron to repay the loan in advance.

Unexpectedly, the Hall family, where Colin Hall belongs, is actually the largest shareholder of Northrock Bank.

Northam Rock Bank was founded in 1965. Its predecessor was Northam Rock Building Society, which developed in the north of England. It later developed into Northam Rock Bank. It was listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1997 and is currently one of the top five banks in the UK. One of the mortgage lenders with a market capitalization of nearly £5 billion.

At this time, the chairman of Northrock Bank was Richard Hall, Colin Hall's father.

Colin Hall, who previously worked at Northrock's Manchester branch, has recently moved to its London headquarters to take on the role of Head of Proprietary at Northrock.

Seeing this, Barron was a little surprised. Colin Hall had been in Manchester before - it seemed that he was no longer a fan of Manchester United. Judging from his attitude towards him yesterday...

However, Barron still has a few questions at this time. One of them is when did Colin Hall and Catherine get together? You must know that Catherine was engaged to her good brother who passed away before. If the two of them had been married before...then, her good brother was wearing a hat out of thin air.

Also, were Colin Hall or the Hall family involved in the previous incidents against the Devonshire family?

For example, Northen Rock Bank was so determined to ask the Devonshire family to repay the loan early. Was it because it was afraid of suffering losses, or was it because of the Hall family's wishes?

If they are involved, are they the main force in it, or are they contributing to it?

In any case, it seems that the Hall family will not be kind to him now. As for the inside story, Barron will slowly investigate. If the Hall family is really involved, then...

Sorry, the Devonshire family is no longer the same as before. Anyone who crosses their mind must pay a price.

…

Although because she just took over Giant Studio, Bonnie has been very busy recently, giving Barron the opportunity to steal... a half-day of leisure.

But as he told Tamaran before, it is true that he is somewhat unsuited to the leisurely life of young people from noble and wealthy families. The increasingly huge industry also requires him to deal with many things every day. affairs.

After asking the housekeeper to take good care of Tamaran, Barron left The Holme and took a bus to DS Financial Center.

Here, Barron met Alana Weston of the Weston family.

After confirming the cooperation with her last time, DS Capital withdrew from the acquisition of Selfridges department store. According to the agreement, the Weston family also acquired 5% of the shares of Selfridges department store held by DS Capital at a price of 35 million pounds. In this alone, they made a profit of more than 6 million pounds.

Today, Alanna Weston came to DS Capital. In addition to completing the agreement to transfer shares with DS Capital, she also brought the head of the British United Food Group Pension Fund here to sign a purchase agreement with Athena Fund for 100 million pounds. Investment agreement for a five-year fixed income fund product of 12.5%.

In this way, coupled with the 100 million pound investment from the Grosvenor Estate Company Staff Pension Fund of the Duke of Westminster, the current total amount of funds of the Athena Fund has reached more than 700 million U.S. dollars - because of the pound against U.S. dollar exchange rate continues to rise, and after converting to U.S. dollars, it is almost 750 million U.S. dollars.

At present, Athena Fund has started quantitative trading for real-time operations. Through their supercomputer and gradually improving mathematical model, they will automatically conduct arbitrage transactions of buying and selling through programs.

However, in the current initial stage, they still need to perform manual monitoring to prevent unexpected situations.

At present, the main investment direction of Athena Fund is stocks in technology, real estate and other industries on the Nasdaq market. Starting from the fourth quarter of this year, the Nasdaq market has begun to recover and entered the period after the Internet bubble crisis and the market bottomed out. During the rebound.

In addition, Athena Fund also has funds for investment in foreign exchange, crude oil, and gold futures markets.

Friends who have experience in quantitative trading will know that when doing quantitative trading, the most difficult thing is to judge the market trend in the next period. Only by guessing the trend correctly can you obtain greater profits.

In this regard, Barron has an unparalleled advantage. With his understanding of the general trend, he can help Athena Fund's quantitative trading mathematical model pass the early improvement process more smoothly and obtain higher returns.

"Ms. Weston, I don't know about the acquisition of Primark. How are you considering it?"

After completing this, Barron invited Alanna Weston into his office and asked.
