Reborn as a small European country

Chapter 249 The Countess
Governor's Office

"Alan, your countess..."

After hesitating for a while, Wei Yixin didn't know how to speak, but fortunately, his old friend Alan understood what he wanted to say, and said indifferently: "It's very simple, not like a countess, but more like an ordinary girl, right? ?”

Wei Yixin nodded and raised the wine glass in his hand with an apologetic smile: "I have seen Princess Kate too, compared..."

"It can't be compared, because Princess Kate is a nobleman and the Countess was just an ordinary college student before, and her family environment is not very good."

"I heard that he was born in the Mainland. In the words of the Chinese government, he is a poor class, right?"

Although Alan felt that it was not good to discuss Li Xiaohan like this, he still nodded: "The countess is my master, so it is better for us to talk less about such topics."

"Understood, understood! This is a preliminary agreement of 20.00% three, if there is no problem, please sign first, and we will hold a press conference for the specific situation."

Seeing the agreement pushed by Wilson, Alan shook his head: "There is no rush to sign, the price of 28 billion pounds is acceptable, but there is one thing...we still need a port and ocean transportation qualification."

The port city is a center of trade, and there are countless ships traveling between Taiwan Island, Japan, the United States, and Southeast Asian countries. If we can own a port and establish a marine transportation group, I believe it will be very profitable.

"Alan, we are old friends, I believe you will not embarrass me."

Allen didn't answer but smiled at Wei Yixin, and it was this smile that made Wei Yixin's face full of helplessness. They were old friends who knew each other's personalities, what the other party was thinking, and where the bottom line was. He could only nod helplessly with a wry smile.

The purchase of 28% shares of Standard Chartered Bank for 20.00 billion pounds is not expensive, and it is not easy to lower the price, and it is easy to make people feel disgusted. After all, the shares of Standard Chartered Bank are something that cannot be bought with money.

But everything can be changed, not being able to lower the price does not mean that you can’t ask for some other things, a port and ocean transportation qualification are worth a lot, and generally speaking, Alan or Li Xiaohan makes a lot of money.

"Eight billion pounds?"

"That's right, in exchange for a 20.00% stake in Standard Chartered Bank and a port and ocean transportation qualification."

"Port and ocean shipping qualifications? Are these lucrative?"

"If we can get the transportation orders of all groups in the Nord Kingdom, it will only take a few years for it to break into the top 100 in the port city."

Li Xiaohan is not worried about the transportation orders. Although Nord has a dedicated Royal Transportation Group, the scale is not large enough to take care of Hong Kong City. These orders are most suitable for Li Xiaohan.

"This is the agreement, take a look."

Li Xiaohan didn't care much about these things, she picked them up and glanced at them casually, and was about to put them down, but at this moment she froze in place, because the legal representative on it was Li Xiaohan and not Joseph Ragnar.

"Hey, why is this my name?"

Allen didn't see that Li Xiaohan was a little panicked, and mistakenly thought that she thought it was not good. After all, this would be worth tens of billions of pounds in the future.

"When the Earl left Scotland, he said that everything in Scotland belongs to you, madam. Naturally, these properties in the port city should be written in your name, and they belong to you."

Li Xiaohan was not happy, she was just panicked, she kept silently saying: "I am now in debt of 20 billion pounds, I am now in debt of 20 billion pounds!"

"Madam? Madam?"

"Butler Allen, how much are the castles and land in Scotland worth?"

"Value?" For a moment, Butler Alan was stunned by the question, but seeing Li Xiaohan's anxiety, he roughly estimated and said: "About more than two billion pounds! I don't know the exact amount, after all, every year Land prices are not very stable, especially…”

"It's okay, it's okay! It can still be made up, it can still be made up."

If Allen didn't know what happened just now, then everything is clear now, what else can Butler Allen do except for a wry smile?
"Ma'am, if you want to sell the 20.00% stake in Standard Chartered Bank, it will be worth at least 60 billion pounds, and no one will sell it, because it can bring you huge influence and a lot of dividends."

Standard Chartered Bank’s dividends are not too much. According to the 20.00% three shares converted into British pounds, it is only a few hundred million pounds, but the value of its influence is unlimited. If there are some other businesses in Hong Kong City, then this influence The benefits brought far exceed these hundreds of millions of pounds.

To put it simply, it is like the port and the ocean shipping group. Apart from the Nord Kingdom, Allen believes that there are still many orders.for what?Just because the chairman of the group is the major shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank, he has a certain influence on Standard Chartered Bank.

Hong Kong Land in Hong Kong City is more profitable. Many tycoons have land business. Land needs a lot of funds for loans, and Standard Chartered Bank is their main target. Loans are not so easy, but if a major shareholder speaks, those who are not qualified should not use it. Said that once qualified and approved, the payment will come down very quickly.

Business opportunities are time. If you get a loan earlier, you may be able to sign a business worth billions of Hong Kong dollars, but if you are later, you may be snatched away by others. It is a must for tycoons to do well with bank shareholders.

How to deal with these bank shareholders?Gifts of great value often do not work, because people have money and can buy them by themselves, and some business orders are king.

It is not an exchange of benefits, but the first to pay. When you need it, the other party will not be embarrassed to refuse. After all, for these international bank shareholders, it is just a matter of one sentence.

"60 billion pounds? How is that possible!"

How could it be that she was referring to why things at this price were usually sold to herself at a discount, but when she asked Li Xiaohan, she recalled that what she valued was her status as a countess.

Seeing Li Xiaohan's face flushed slightly, Alan left in a hurry to avoid her embarrassment. Looking at the back of Alan's butler, Li Xiaohan felt that he didn't understand anything, which was really embarrassing.

"elder sister!"

At this moment, a small head came in, it was not Li Xiaoxi or someone else.

"What do you want to do?"

"I want to go out for a stroll, staying in a hotel is boring."

Joseph would definitely not be able to refuse the cute begging expression if he was here, but Li Xiaohan is not Li Xiaoxi, pinching her face and said viciously: "Sister is in a bad mood right now, you'd better not come over and bother me."

"Ummmmmm...you won't go if you don't go, what's wrong with you!"

"You are not allowed to go either!"

"Why!"

"Because I am your sister!"

"unfair!"

……

"Han won 20.00% of Standard Chartered Bank's shares?"

"Yes Your Majesty, the cost is estimated to be between £25 billion and £30 billion."

Glancing at Andy Joseph, he took a deep puff of his cigar and shook his head: "This business must not have been facilitated by Han, butler Alan's idea!"

"We are not very clear, why did His Majesty say that?"

"Why do you say that? Because based on what I know about Han, she wouldn't dare to do this at all. She must be panicking now!"

"Panic? Why?"

Andy really couldn't understand, this is a wishful business!Not everyone can buy the 20.00% shares of Standard Chartered Bank. This is a huge opportunity. Shouldn't Mrs. Han be happy?

"Because this will put her in huge debts. If my guess is correct, the legal person name on Allen must be Li Xiaohan. I really want to see what her expression was at that time."

Andy couldn't understand the laughing Joseph. He couldn't understand why Li Xiaohan was frightened by the huge debt, and he couldn't understand why Joseph was so happy.

"Then do you want to..."

"You don't need to worry about this matter, let Abner come to me."

Smiling and waving his hands to ask Andy to find Abner, Joseph decided to help Li Xiaohan quietly.

soon……

"Your Majesty, are you looking for me?"

"When do oil companies pay dividends?"

"Dividends? Isn't it all in November..."

"Notify the oil company to see how much money is in the account, and let them ask the Countess of Aberdeen if she is planning to sell the shares of the Royal Oil Company."

Abner was taken aback by what Joseph said, and he looked at Joseph in disbelief. Royal Nord Petroleum Company was not a gift from Joseph to his daughter. What does it mean now?
"Don't ask too much, inform the oil company!"

"Yes!"

Abner left with doubts, Joseph stood up and looked out the window...

Regarding the matter of Nord Royal Petroleum Company, Joseph thought over and over again. He felt that his original arrangement was a bit inappropriate. After all, Gao Jingxuan and Li Xiaohan were outsiders. It was Charlie's, and it was very unwise to do so.

Charlie has a good personality, but no one knows what the future holds. Therefore, the best way to ensure Gao Jingxuan's mother and son, and Li Xiaohan's mother and daughter is to keep them away from the Nord Kingdom, and stay away from any interests involved.

Regarding the issue of Nord Royal Petroleum's shares, Joseph will give Li Xiaohan some monetary compensation, but Gao Jingxuan... the family's interests in the Nord Kingdom are too seriously involved, and Flender is still a man, which is very dangerous.

But don't think about it now, because even if it is dangerous, it will be decades later, and he can always arrange for Gao Jingxuan's family to start to leave the Nord Kingdom in a few decades.

"No, no, I don't want to owe so much money at such a young age."

It's okay if Li Xiaoxi doesn't tease her, but when she teases Li Xiaohan, she becomes even more depressed. How long will it take to pay off the huge debt of 20 billion pounds!
