Chapter 828 Enrollment
Meng Qian took Egbert around the British branch of Dafeng Group, and after that, Egbert offered to invite Meng Qian to go to other places.
And the place he took Meng Qian to was the Silverstone Circuit.
Silverstone Circuit, located in the central part of the UK, is one of the most frequent car racing tracks in the world, and it is also the birthplace of the British racing industry. The world's first F1 World Championship was held here.
Arriving at the destination, Meng Qian saw David, Charlie De and others, and everyone nodded tacitly, as if they had made an appointment.
"There will be a small-scale competition in a while, but with my team, Mr. Meng, if you have time, why not take a look at the performance of the team?" Charlie gave a reason to stay here.
"Okay, very happy."
Charlie De took Meng Qian and others to visit his team first, and then everyone went to the VIP room to watch the game.
"Since there is a competition, how about we play it?" David suddenly made a suggestion.
"Of course I'm fine." Charlie De was the first to answer, and then looked at Meng Qian.
Meng Qian also said that there was no problem, but when everyone was about to place a bet, Meng Qian suddenly made a gesture of waiting, and then sent a message on WeChat.
But a few seconds later, He Yating knocked on the door and walked in to Meng Qian's side.
"Send a few gentlemen a meeting gift, let's have fun."
"Yes." He Yating nodded briskly, and walked out briskly.
A few minutes later, everyone received a sum of money, which still surprised everyone.
On the one hand, everyone was surprised by the tacit understanding between He Yating and Meng Qian. Whether it was meeting here or making a bet today, it was a temporary idea. With a simple sentence, He Yating could understand what Meng Qian meant. Who wouldn't want such a secretary.
On the other hand, everyone noticed that everyone's transfer party is different, they go through different banks, and more importantly, Meng Qian didn't ask them for an account number at all.
"Don't worry, everyone, protecting customer privacy is the foundation of our development. I personally don't know your account information at all. I just believe that you will always have your own account in a certain bank. For large orders, you will use a confidential transfer channel for large accounts. "
"It turns out that we have been Mr. Meng's customers for a long time." David laughed and looked at Meng Qian with something in his words.
"You can't say that. I'm just a shareholder, and I'm just a shareholder everywhere."
"I heard that there was a mysterious fund that bought Wall Street for a large sum during the financial crisis. It turned out to be Mr. Meng." Charlie put the phone on the table and signaled everyone to place a bet.
"Mr. Charlie, can I overwhelm your team?"
"sure."
"Then I will choose." After making the choice, Meng Qian picked up the topic just now, "The financial crisis is a global disaster. At that time, I saw that Wall Street needed help, so I acted.
But for the financial industry, I am a complete layman, so I don't know how to choose. Where I can help, I will help, that's all.
For example, the Nihong National Enterprise at that time was in a capital dilemma because of the acquisition of several Wall Street banks. If I didn't help them, they might have two consortiums in big trouble at that time. "
Meng Qian described his deliberate bargain hunting as a helper who didn't understand anything, but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
Others would have believed it, but David and the others clearly remembered Meng Qian’s remarks that seemed to predict the future but actually created the future. .
So Meng Qian added another sentence, "Fortunately, although I don't understand anything, at least I know where the most professional people in the world are."
Someone came to his senses now, and David answered immediately, "Mr. Meng put his financial focus on the UK?"
"if not?"
"Xiangjiang is also a good choice." Charlie De deliberately mentioned Xiangjiang.
"Hong Kong's status as a financial center in Southeast Asia is almost lost, let alone a global financial center, of course the UK must be chosen."
In fact, they now disagree with Meng Qian's statement that Xiangjiang may not be able to keep the financial center of Southeast Asia, but no one cares about it. They just think that Meng Qian is deliberately deepening his layman personality.
"It is said that Mr. Meng is good at planning, and even better at hiding. Mr. Meng has been operating in the UK for so many years, but I have never known about it. I feel that I have missed a lot." Charlie raised Meng Qian.
"I just squeezed into the UK, but I am a layman after all, just like many young people squeezed into a good city, but they may not be able to gain a foothold in this city." Meng Qian said that he started to get up, because the game started "From the perspective of a person's life, the most rare thing is to meet a noble person, and from the perspective of capital, controlling risks is often more important than obtaining profits.
So slowly I began to understand that I may not need to understand many things. The key is to learn to know people, to see people, and then to invite the right people to be responsible for the right things.
Just like today's game, I don't know how to analyze who wins and who loses. Instead of spending my time studying this matter, I might as well believe in Mr. Charlie De. "
Charlie picked up the mobile phone on the table and walked to Meng Qian, "One million pounds, what does Mr. Meng want?"
Meng Qian pointed to Charlie's team, "I want a champion."
Charlie didn't speak, took out his phone and sent a message.
At the same time, Egbert also walked to Meng Qian's side, "What I like most about competitive sports is that everything is possible, and competitive sports is never a math problem."
"However, the times really can't change many things. Last year, our artificial intelligence accurately predicted a game." Meng Qian leaned on the railing in front of the glass window, "In the past, everyone liked to say that the old and the new alternate. In China, traditional arts such as comic dialogue and Peking opera have suddenly come alive and even become popular in China. In the process, traditional arts have integrated a large number of modern elements.
Now everyone is slowly starting to talk about the combination of old and new, the precipitation of history and the vitality of youth are colliding with unprecedented sparks. "
Meng Qian's words, coupled with the previous words, have already implied that they can't be more clear, and if he goes on to say it, he will almost speak the vernacular.
The few people who were still sitting started to make eye contact. After nearly a minute of silence, David broke the loneliness, "Have you heard about the situation at Barclays Bank?"
"You're talking about Barclays being in further financial trouble after the Brexit vote."
"This matter is fermenting very quickly. The Bank of England has prepared 6 billion pounds to help Barclays Bank overcome this difficulty."
"The 6 billion pounds is probably not enough to fill Barclays' hole, and the Bank of England itself will have a lot of trouble after the Brexit referendum. Barclays needs more money to survive this crisis."
"You are right, so we have already started contact." Charlie De also joined the conversation, "Barclays was just fined 6 billion yuan last year, and it has long been unbearable.
Moreover, Barclays needs some more stable traditional investments to control risks, but BP has doubts about Barclays' situation. Not only has it not strengthened cooperation with Barclays, but it has reduced its expectations for future loan lines at Barclays.
"The news from my side, Barclays' side has already released the wind. They hope to have more capital in this time, except for capital from the Bank of England. This is also a direction for them to share risks."
"How much more do they need?"
"The tone is not small, and I want another 6 billion pounds."
"Ahem." Meng Qian deliberately coughed, attracting everyone's attention.
Obviously, they started a so-called internal conversation in front of Meng Qian, a conversation about Barclays Bank.
Meng Qian understands what they mean, so it is impossible to be a bystander all the time, but to participate, "Money is not the point, the point is whether it is worth it."
Seeing Meng Qian joining the conversation very naturally, everyone showed subtle smiles.
It was Charlie who answered first again, "Does Mr. Meng have any insight?"
"Barclays is the oldest bank in the UK. What I care most about is the close cooperative relationship between Barclays and governments around the world. The attitude of BP is not important to me at all. The important thing is that the governments of various countries manner."
"How to judge the attitude of the government of various countries?"
Meng Qian knew that they were pretending to be stupid, but it didn't matter. He didn't care about it. "Barclays Bank helps so many countries manage gold and national debt. Just check the data on this."
"I agree." David pushed along, "As long as the foundation is still there, Barclays will still be the oldest bank in the UK, and Barclays now wants to invest conservatively to control risks, which is also a good thing. The international financial situation is more stable than aggressive.”
"I remember that China Development Bank is a shareholder of Barclays Bank, right?" Charlie De, who was standing beside Meng Qian, asked.
"Well, but our country's China Development Bank only accounts for 3% of Barclays' shares."
"Mr. Meng has a bigger appetite?"
Meng Qian shook his head, "No matter how big my appetite is, it can't be bigger than this market. I can eat as much as I have. I just want to go to the table."
At this moment, there was a chaotic sound from the field behind him. He turned his head and saw that the leading car suddenly rushed out of the track and had to be eliminated, while Charlie's team became the first.
