Chapter 673 Bahrain's Glory
Chapter 673 Bahrain's Glory
In the beautiful land of England, stands a historic, solemn and elegant manor, which is the old house of the Spencer family.
This manor is not only a model of the perfect integration of nature and humanities and arts, but also a vivid display of aristocratic style accumulated over the years.
The manor is surrounded by lush forests, as if the land was covered with a gorgeous green dress, while the misty mountains in the distance add a bit of mystery and fantasy.
Every detail of the manor's architecture reveals the ingenuity and exquisiteness passed down from generation to generation, as if returning to the Middle Ages.
The ancient brick and stone walls are carved with intricate and exquisite patterns, recording the family's past glory and honor.
On the wide lawn, neatly trimmed bushes and staggered flower beds complement each other. In spring, the flowers are in full bloom, in summer, the green shade is like a canopy, in the autumn wind, the fallen leaves are spread golden, and in winter, the snow is covered with silver, showing different styles and charms in the changing of seasons.
Sarah, a woman who left a deep mark on the Spencer family, made a rare journey home after a long absence, returning to her hometown that carried countless memories for her.
The years pass by like a skillful painter, using time as a pen to quietly paint traces of growth in everyone's heart.
Time is the most fair forgetting agent, causing many past events to gradually fade out of people's sight.
Sarah, the British goddess who once haunted a generation of young people, her figure has gradually merged into the long river of memory of the past as time goes by.
Today, when the young people who once pursued and admired her charm have entered the marriage hall and ushered in the continuation of their own lives, the once ardent love and attention have been quietly and gently replaced by the trivialities and happiness of life.
And who among today's young generation would understand this auntie-like figure?
"why?"
"No reason. Don't forget that besides being a woman of the Luo family, you are also the daughter of the Spencer family."
After coming back, Sarah and John, father and daughter, had no time to warm up to each other before a quarrel broke out.
"You know, he was determined to get Barings Bank.
The liabilities of the Bank of Bahrain now far exceed its assets, and the Far Eastern Bank is its largest creditor.
Those charitable foundations and senior management will not take on this debt for the Bank of Bahrain, and the Barings family itself does not have the ability to do so."
Since its opening in 1762, Bank of Bahrain has never been listed on the stock exchange. All of its shares are in the hands of the Barings family, senior management and some charitable foundations.
Of course, these charitable foundations were founded by many big families, and it can be said that they are in the hands of big families.
The reason why the two sides quarreled was that John hoped that Luo Nianzhong could lend money to the Bank of Barings to preserve the Barings family's symbolic industry and past glory.
Was Barings Bank great? Very great, but that was in the past.
From 1798 to 1814, the Bank of Barings provided a guarantee for the then British Prime Minister Pitt the Younger, providing a large amount of funds for Britain to defeat Napoleon.
But in the same period, in 1803, the Bank of Barings took the lead in helping Napoleon sell Louisiana to the United States.
This transaction involving more than 8 million not only raised military funds for Napoleon, but also made friends with the United States.
The most important thing is that most of the land purchase costs in the United States are paid by the Bank of Bahrain in the form of purchasing government bonds.
As a result, the Bank of Bahrain successfully entered the United States and not only funded the then central bank of the United States, but also had business dealings with banks in almost all states of the federal government at that time.
During the Mexican War, the Bank of Barings helped the United States purchase Texas.
During the U.S. Civil War, funds were raised for the United States to take Alaska.
In addition to the government, the private sector has also invested in many companies. During the development period of railway construction in the United States, railway tycoons in various states have cooperated with the Bank of Bahrain.
This made the Bank of Bahrain the largest bank in the West at the time, with influence throughout Europe and the United States.
If the Bank of Bahrain could take root in the United States at this time, it could at least get a seat in the Federal Reserve.
It is very likely that it is not Morgan but the Barin family that is fighting against the Luo family.
However, the Bahrain family's vision is obviously not very good. They believe that Europe is still the future center of the world and the United States is just a younger brother.
Not only did it not take root in the United States, but because it tasted the sweetness of purchasing government bonds, it developed this model to South America.
They subscribed to the debts of Argentina and Paraguay in South America and almost killed themselves. In the end, it was the Governor of the Bank of England who formed a consortium to inject capital to save them.
It was also because of this incident that the Bank of Bahrain became cautious and began to decline.
The past of Barings Bank is indeed glorious, but now it is a thing of the past. Why did John Spencer help the Barings family so much? The two families have a deep relationship, because the earliest Spencer family can be said to be a branch of the Barings family.
This also shows the decline of the Baring family. The side branches have become the top families in Britain, but the Baring family is getting worse and worse.
However, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and the Baring family still has a huge influence in the British aristocracy.
There are indeed many people who have benefited from their family. The rise of the Spencer family is due to the Barin family.
At this time, the Baring family came to him and John Spencer had to help.
"The Spencer family can acknowledge the child and allow him to have inheritance rights."
"What?" Sarah didn't react at first, then she was shocked, and finally said with a frown, "I don't understand what you mean."
"Don't talk nonsense to me, you know what I'm talking about.
Can you keep it secret for a day or a lifetime? It's not as good as keeping it at Luo's house as you can carry it with you anytime and anywhere."
Sarah was silent. She didn't expect that her father knew that she was pregnant.

The child is only three months old and his clothes are so loose that it doesn’t show at all. How did the other party know?
The first thought that came to my mind was that there were undercover agents or people bribed by the other party in the villa in Hong Kong Island.
"Don't let your imagination run wild. Bals heard you retching in your room last night.
I didn’t believe it at first, but I didn’t expect it to be true after the explosion.”
Barrs is the old butler of the Spencer family and is very kind to Sarah and the married Diana.
Sarah had finally come back this time, and I wanted to ask if there was anything she needed, but I didn't expect to hear Sarah retching.
Bals couldn't keep such a big thing secret, so he reported his speculation to John.
“You have to think clearly, being a lover and getting divorced are different.
You are that guy's lover. Even though all the top British nobles know about it, it's okay as long as you don't make it public.
Marrying secretly, having children and then getting divorced is also a scandal, but it is acceptable."
Sarah felt her heart pounding. Acknowledging the child would mean that the other party had the right to inherit the title.
Although it is not the first pick, it is better than nothing. It is a symbol of status.
Moreover, with the influence of the Luo family and the status of the Spencer family, it would not be difficult to get a title for this child.
The most important thing is that Sarah can keep the child with her at any time, not only when she returns to her family home but also in Hong Kong Island. This is too tempting for a mother.
"It is impossible for him to give up such a huge loss and lend money to the Barings family. Do you know how much money it will take for the Barings family to save the Bank of Barings from bankruptcy and liquidation?"
If you want to save the Bank of Bahrain, it is impossible without 300 to 500 million pounds, as this cash flow is too huge.
However, John disagreed with Sarah's idea and looked confident.
"That guy is a playboy who loves beauty more than the kingdom.
Although your father is not as good as him in business, his vision for people is definitely not bad.
Otherwise, do you think I would have agreed to let you be his lover?"
The room fell into silence. Even after smoking a cigarette, Sarah still couldn't resist the temptation of the child.
"Okay, I'll give him a call later."
On the other side, Luo Nianzhong received the call early the next day.
After knowing this, he hung up the phone and shook his head, "Old man, you may not be very good at other things, but you are quite good at controlling me.
But sometimes it’s not good to be too obsessed, and you have to learn to let go when it’s time to let go.”
