Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

He is aware of the current situation in Saudi Arabia. During the transition of the throne, no matter which country it is, it will be cautious.

Once Hassar's father dies, no one knows what will happen.

With so many princes in the Middle East, who knows if Hassar can survive this test, and whether he will be suspected by his uncles. Prince Charles is very clear about the internal struggles in the royal family.

Although he didn't have those troubles since he was born, he was the life of a prince all his life, "No way, the queen is too powerful, even in the 21st century, her body is still very good, and she eats well."

Seeing that Prince Charles was actually worried about Hassar, Yang Chen was a little surprised. Originally, he thought that Prince Charles and Prince Hassar met because the other party's father was a king.

Now that Hassar's father is about to die, the weight of his prince will also be greatly reduced.

Yang Chen smiled and said: "Don't worry, Prince, Prince Hassar is fine now. Not long ago, I attended the birthday party of Princess Ninth Princess of Crown Prince Fazed's family with him."

"Birthday party?" Prince Charles was taken aback for a moment, then thought of something, nodded, and didn't ask again.

As the saying goes, things of a feather flock together, and people are divided into groups.

Prince Charles still attaches great importance to Hassar's friend. Even if the other party's father is about to step down, he still can't help worrying about him

Now that he heard that the other party was fine, and that he was able to attend the birthday party and was not imprisoned, he was relieved.

Chapter 667 Credit Crisis

"Chen, come, let me introduce you. This is Mr. George, the chairman of Lloyds Bank."

A Western old man about five or sixty years old, after Charles finished his introduction, stretched out his hand and smiled at Yang Chen: "Hello, respected Mr. Yang Chen, on behalf of Lloyds Bank, I welcome you."

Yang Chen: "Hi, Mr. George, nice to meet you."

After the two greeted each other, Prince Charles said: "Mr. George, I have already brought him for you. If you have anything to do, you can talk about it as soon as possible. Chen and I have something to do later."

George: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I only take up 10 minutes of Mr. Yang Chen's time."

"Chen, take care of it." Charles patted Yang Chen on the shoulder, then walked towards the crowd.

Yang Chen glanced at the little old man in front of him, he had some guesses in his heart, after Prince Charles left, he didn't immediately ask.

"Mr. Yang Chen, let's go to a quiet place to talk for a while, how do you think?"

Yang Chen nodded and said: "Mr. George lead the way."

In a quiet corner of the reception, after chatting with Yang Chen for a few words, George directly asked: "Mr. Yang Chen, you must already know the reason why I came to you. I wonder if Mr. Yang Chen is interested in this?"

Yang Chen pretended to be puzzled and said: "George, I'm not God, how could I know the reason why you came to me, to be honest, I'm very confused what you asked me for."

"Uh..." George was taken aback when he heard the words, and took a closer look at Yang Chen. Seeing that he didn't seem to be pretending to be confused, he couldn't help but said, "Didn't Prince Charles tell Mr. Yang Chen in advance?"

"I just arrived in London from Saudi Arabia at noon today, and I came here because of the invitation of Prince Charles."

George: "..."

This is awkward.

Originally, he thought that Prince Charles had already told the other party about what happened today.

Never thought, the other party didn't even know.

'What the hell' George wanted to curse a little bit.

Just when George hesitated.

Yang Chen changed the topic, and said: "I heard from Angela that Lloyds Bank intends to raise funds from the market."

……

Ten minutes later, Yang Chen got up and left.

He really didn't think that the troubles of Lloyds Bank would be so complicated, but he was relieved when he thought about the debt crisis in Latin America, which made the Latin American countries with rapid economic growth continue to inflate until the 21st century.

During World War II, Latin American countries were not involved in too much war quagmire, and many countries even made war fortunes.

From the period of World War II to the end of World War II, the economies of Latin American countries have been developing rapidly. If it were not for the oil crisis, there would be no debt crisis in Latin American countries.

The plight of Lloyds Bank is not an isolated case. In fact, many British banks, including banks in other European countries, are deeply involved.

The reason why George asked Prince Charles to invite Yang Chen over was to use his hand to get rid of the predicament he was facing now.

"Chen, how are things going?" Seeing that Yang Chen had finished talking with George, Prince Charles immediately walked over.

"Not so good." Yang Chen shook his head.

Prince Charles was taken aback when he heard the words, he didn't understand the meaning of Yang Chen's words.

Yang Chen raised his eyelids, looked at Prince Charles and asked, "Is the royal family not interested in Lloyds Bank?"

Prince Charles said embarrassingly: "How should I put it? If Lloyds Bank really can't support it, the government will buy some stocks. Now Lloyds Bank is in the quagmire of the Latin American debt crisis, and everyone has no confidence in it."

Yes, not only the market has no confidence in Lloyds Bank, even the royal family has no confidence in it. It is true that the royal family has money, but they will not help capitalists.

Moreover, Lloyds is not the only bank that is deeply affected by the debt crisis in Latin America. Other banks in the UK have also been more or less affected, and Lloyds is the most serious banking institution in the debt crisis in Latin America.

This is like a piece of cake on the table, everyone wants to eat it, so there must be a fight between dragons and tigers.

But if there is not only one piece of cake on the table, but several pieces, each of which is no smaller than Lloyds Bank, then everyone will hesitate and choose to eat.

Otherwise, with the background of Lloyds Bank for hundreds of years, everyone is not a fool, how could they fail to see that this is an excellent opportunity.

Prince Charles thought for a while and said seriously: "Chen, if you want to gain a foothold in the UK, it is actually the best to have a bank like Lloyds behind you.

In contrast, whether it is HSBC or Standard Chartered, the influence in the UK is far from being comparable to that of Lloyds Bank. "

Yang Chen said in surprise: "His Royal Highness has so much confidence in me?"

Prince Charles said with a smile: "It's not just me, but also Hassar, Alisa, Angela and the others."

Yang Chen raised his head and looked at Alisa who had been looking back at him not far away, grinned and said: "No, Alisa doesn't count, she is actually a silly girl."

Prince Charles rolled his eyes and said rather depressedly, "That was in front of you."

Yang Chen shrugged, pondered for a while, and said seriously: "That is to say, even if Lloyds Bank can't raise funds, the British government will take action to save it, right?"

Prince Charles: "That's right, the government will never allow a bank like Lloyd's that has been passed down for hundreds of years to fail. Unless the internal management of the bank is really ugly, the government will never sit idly by. .”

"Now Lloyds Bank is only experiencing a short-term trust crisis caused by the Latin American debt crisis. Lloyds Bank itself has no internal problems..."

Yang Chen: "Then why didn't Mr. George go directly to the government for assistance? If the government came forward, the crisis of trust in Lloyds Bank would be resolved immediately."

Prince Charles: "First, there are many British banks that are deeply involved in the debt crisis in Latin America. It is impossible for the government to provide money to rescue them immediately. The funds involved are too large, and even the government dare not act rashly."
