We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?

"Woof woof woof."

Maybe it was because they had returned to their own territory after a long absence, as soon as Lowe and Ron got back to Anran Manor, they ran away, and even Wei Xiao and Hanzi ran away to have fun.

Not to mention the flowers, plants and trees in the manor, even the fountains in the castle have left their special marks.

Because there was a big devil following behind, the situation could be described as a chaotic mess. The only thing missing was a few chickens to set off the atmosphere. Miss Zhao was almost pissed to death.

Britain's financial reform was destined to be a long process, and Luo Nianzhong was not needed, but he was still worried and chose to stay here for a while.

Moreover, the Pangu-Canary Center is about to start construction, and the entertainment and business district plan in Oxford is also being promoted simultaneously. If he has any ideas or problems here, it is convenient for him to communicate them at the first time.

It just so happens that Christmas is approaching, and Luo Nianzhong thought that Luo Anran had never seen snow, so this year he planned to take her and the whole family to Northern Europe to spend Christmas.

Now the whole family has basically arrived at Anran Manor. The only one left in Hong Kong Island is Chris, who is busy with year-end affairs. When the time comes, she will fly directly to Northern Europe to meet up with Luo Nianzhong and others.

"Xiaoxian, I told you that there was something wrong with you picking up this dog's head, but you didn't believe it. Look at other dogs that are like it. Even their smiles have an expression of contempt."

"Woof." As if responding to Guan Jiahui's words, Smile, who was sitting next to her, barked loudly.

"Fourth sister, what do you know? This is a talent for acting, okay? This is genius. I think Hanzi's acting skills are unmatched by ordinary people."

"Hey, what's that look on your face?

Luo Laowu, I think I haven't taught you a lesson for a long time and you're itching to do it, right? Stop right there."

Here, Luo Laosi chased Luo Laowu out, while Luo Anran and the three dogs stayed there, staring at the interior of the horse farm motionlessly.

On the track, the horse trainers in the manor were leading the horses in a line for a relaxing walk, but there were obviously dogs wandering in.

At the end of the horse team, I saw a silly dog ​​imitating the horses' pace, walking with all four legs raised high, just like the goose step in the dog running world.

This silly dog ​​imitated a turtle before, and now he's imitating a horse. No wonder Luo Laosi is questioning it.

"Hanzi is so awesome, Daddy doesn't know any of these."

Luo Anran's sudden muttering to himself almost made Guan Jiahui and the other two girls stagger. "Although your daddy has been a horse for you, I wonder what he would think if he heard what you said. You should know that he is not feeling well now."

It was quite uncomfortable, but it was not the other party who embarrassed him, but the other party's attitude that made him uncomfortable.

It was so unexpected that Luo Nianzhong even suspected that John Spencer had got the wrong script.

This year's Christmas is not just for the Luo family, he plans to take Sarah away as well.

Didn't you, John Spencer, agree to it? Didn't you come to London this time to ask for benefits from your daughter?

Then I'll just stop pretending. I'm a billionaire and I'll tell you my cards.

Just tell me what you want, your price is not a big deal.

But what Luo Nianzhong never expected was that when he arrived at the Spencer family, he received a warm welcome. Even Sarah's sister, Princess Diana, came back.

It was like meeting old friends after not seeing each other for years. They treated us to delicious food and drinks, and the enthusiasm was a bit over the top.

"Are you sure this is your father? Could it be that someone has replaced him with someone else?"

Looking at John's face with his signature smile, Luo Nianzhong joked with Sarah who was sitting on the armrest of his sofa and snuggling against him.

The result is predictable, and what he got in return was Sarah's beating and "fuck you".

Looking at John, who was looking at him and his daughter flirting with a loving face, Luo Nianzhong felt his hair stand on end.

What a clever move. The Spencer family's behavior now makes him feel even more indebted to Sarah.

She is a favored daughter of heaven, with both knowledge, talent and beauty, and her background is beyond reproach.

Such a woman who is loved by everyone is now willing to be nameless and without status, and even follow me secretly.

The other party has calculated that I am not a heartless person, and this is the only way to maximize their interests.

Looking at Sarah's happy appearance, Luo Nianzhong sighed inwardly.

"John, I think we should talk alone."

You must take your own woman away. It’s okay to give her a little more profit, but just don’t push your luck.

"Okay, then let's go to my study. I'll take you to visit the Spencer family's collection."

John Spencer got up and left. Luo Nianzhong patted Sarah's little hand hanging on his arm, gave her a reassuring look, and followed him.

If it weren't for the Grosvenor family's trip to Eaton Manor, Luo Nianzhong would have been surprised by John's study, but looking at the study in front of him which was slightly smaller than the Grosvenor family's study, he was already prepared.

I really don't understand why these nobles don't have their own independent study room? It's better to call this a small library than a study room.

Is it only by working here that I can demonstrate my status as the patriarch? Can I have peace and quiet?

The Spencer family's study has obviously fewer books than the Grosvenor family's, but there are many more rare books and antiques.

"Luo, I'm giving you a gift. This gift should have belonged to you. I think you would like it."

Looking at an exquisitely crafted wooden box on the desk, Luo Nianzhong opened it with a little confusion, and then his eyes widened.

The box contained a large number of books, or to be more precise, ancient Chinese books.

I picked up the book and flipped through it, and the result was even more shocking.

"This is the Yuan Dynasty edition of Records of the Grand Historian. Don't tell me this is the complete version with 130 volumes."

Although there is no exact number, we can roughly guess it by looking at the number of books. Even if it is not the complete set, it is likely to be more than 120 volumes.

"Yes, it is volume 130."

That's true. You should know that there are only nine copies of the Yuan Dynasty edition of Records of the Grand Historian discovered in the world, and none of the three copies of Rabbit are complete. It is known that only the island country has a complete version.

This is truly a national treasure. Its value may not be fully reflected now, but it will become more and more obvious in the future, especially in the Confucian cultural circle.

“John, thank you for your kindness, I will accept it without hesitation.

I like this gift very much, thank you so much."

"Ha, don't say that. This should have been yours. I am returning it to its original owner."

It sounds very noble, but in the end you still have to bear it all yourself.

"Let's get back to the point. London's financial reforms will definitely lead to the formation of major financial oligarchs in Britain, just like the United States. How about we cooperate and jointly take down Morgan Griffith?"

John Spencer is no stranger to one of the largest investment banks in Britain.

"Is it because the investment bank's equity is dispersed?"

Morgan Griffith is not controlled by any family. Not only is the equity fragmented, but the management team is composed entirely of professional managers.

Normally, this would be a good time for the investment bank to develop, but long-term internal competition has made one of the largest investment banks in the UK feel like it is in decline.

As long as there is a suitable price, major institutions holding shares will not be reluctant to give up, and they can seek better financial investments.

According to Du Huilian's report, there is a lot of foreign capital eyeing this investment bank, and the key to the problem lies in the price. No one is willing to pay more than US$11 billion for this investment bank that needs internal reforms.

"The dispersed ownership is one thing, but the most important thing is that it is large enough. I am very optimistic about the future development of this company.

The management dispute is nothing, I am confident that I can get it back on track."

"What is the specific equity distribution?" This is what John Spencer wants to know most.

"With the Spencer family taking the lead, we will acquire more than 10% of Morgan Griffith's shares. I only need %."

John shook his head when he heard this. "Our family has little experience in the financial industry."

This is because he is worried that if the Luo family's shares are reduced, Luo Nianzhong may not contribute, but if the shares are increased, he cannot accept it.

"Is Far East Bank interested in acquiring Morgan Griffith?"

"Impossible." Luo Nianzhong felt that John Spencer was dreaming, and he actually wanted to get into Far East Bank through mergers and acquisitions.

“It’s okay, we are discussing it.

The tea is cold, I'll change it for you."

Here we go again, really shameless.

Even though I'm the patriarch of such a big family, I'm willing to flatter you.

"Barclays can acquire Morgan Griffiths within 10 years, but the Spencer family's shareholding in the new group cannot exceed %. This is my bottom line."

Barclays Bank has now become one of the largest financial groups in Europe. According to the current situation, Barclays Bank, which operates locally, will only grow bigger and bigger, and it is just around the corner to become a world banking giant in the future.

Luo Nianzhong has already made a big concession with this step, and the Spencer family should be content.

"Okay, let's cooperate as you said."
