Winning the gold trading license of Johnson Matthey bank is a top priority for Gaoyi. After receiving Gao Xian's notice, ye Licheng, general manager of Gaoyi, rushed from Xiangjiang to London to deal with it in person.

It has to be said that it is still convenient to expand business from Xiangjiang and Australia to the UK. Gaoyi UK, which already has a seat on the London Stock Exchange, has now gone to the next city and obtained a gold trading license with a higher degree of turnip and pit.

In contrast, in the United States, Gaoyi has to rely on the channels mastered by partners such as Merrill Lynch, Goldman Sachs and chase. After all, without a license, it can't enter the transaction in person.

Of course, the flexibility, foresight, efficiency and other unique advantages of Gaoyi's business in America are unmatched by Gaoyi's UK.

Generally speaking, the atmosphere of London's Financial Street is a little lazy at this stage. Even the normal process runs slowly. The gentleman's style of slowly sipping coffee, reading newspapers and talking about work is indeed decent and freehand, but it is eating old capital. Let alone competing with the tiger and wolf teacher of wall Street, even London's status as a global financial center will decline.

Thatcher house has been aware of this potential crisis, so while vigorously promoting the privatization of British state-owned enterprises, it is also brewing to exert pressure on London Financial Street to activate competitive vitality, including studying how to allow foreign investment or reduce the threshold of foreign investment.

Gao Yi's successful acquisition of Johnson Matthey bank is a prelude to Thatcher's house beating the old London Financial Street. Even if others feel sour, they have nothing to say.

Gao Xian was like a mirror in his heart. Gao Yi robbed the meat in the bowl of the Australian consortium this time. He can't be happy too early, so he told ye Licheng to skillfully hook up with the claims of the robbery of the Treasury of Johnson Matthey bank in London Heathrow International Trade Center when helping the Bank of England deal with the non-performing loans of Johnson Matthey bank.

The three tons of gold lost by Johnson Matthey bank are not all its own. This is the benefit of holding a gold trading license. If others want gold, they have to go through the hands of the five major gold dealers in London.

Lloyd's insurance company, which provides insurance services to Johnson Matthey, is not an insurance company that many people immediately think of, but an insurance exchange established according to the Lloyd's act in 1871. It is composed of some members. There should be no problem with the claim settlement ability, but it is afraid that the procedure will be as slow as a classic car.

Ye Li is determined to lead God. He can't be too real, otherwise he will suffer losses these days. "You can go to Frankfurt and leave the acquisition of Johnson Matthey bank to me."

Gao Xian smiled and didn't rush to Frankfurt. While the human situation was still hot, he ate more pieces of good meat.

Ye Licheng immediately guessed Gao Xian's mind. Do you want to get as many shares as possible from the primary market after the privatization of state-owned enterprises such as BT?

Gao Xian sighed: "if you don't seize the opportunity, the first soup will be cheaper for people in North America."

The privatization of British Telecom has to go through a series of procedures such as the passage of the new telecommunications law by the British Parliament. However, many rumors have been heard. For example, the British government hopes to sell British Telecom's shares to the so-called better quality investors in the United States as much as possible.

By the way, not all the stocks listed after the privatization of British state-owned enterprises are looted at the first sight, because the investors in this period are relatively conservative, and even those privatized British state-owned enterprises have industry advantages, investment assessment indicators such as profit level may not be satisfactory.

To put it bluntly, Thatcher's government has spent so much energy to promote the privatization of British enterprises and wants to raise funds. Gao Xian estimates that it can raise more than 29 billion pounds, but these enterprises must also have various disadvantages, including low operation efficiency.

Take Britt oil company, which operates the oil field business in the North Sea, as an example. After the privatization, its shares began to be publicly listed last year. As a result, the subscription rate was seriously insufficient, and the resulting losses could only be borne by the Underwriters who thought they were unlucky.

The British government hopes to sell British Telecom's shares to American investors as much as possible. It is estimated that it is afraid of the embarrassment of Britt oil's stock being cold again. After all, this stage is not the Internet era, and the general public has not realized how much money the data transmission channel controlled by telecom operators attracts.

Of course, one possibility can not be ruled out, that is, the British government hopes to help British Telecom expand its business around the world in the future through this move, and get some kind of exchange conditions for legitimate interests that can only be understood but not expressed.

Compared with others who have been bitten by a snake once and afraid of well rope for ten years, Gao Xian is confident in the appreciation of BT shares and naturally wants to "make new" more.

Seeing Sir Gao nagging that he couldn't find a way, he had to harass the prime minister to come to the door again. Mrs. Thatcher smiled bitterly. I can help Sir Gao to get some British Telecom shares from the primary market, but Sir Gao should also participate in more relevant activities to show the outside world that the government has no so-called conspiracy against you.

Gao Xian promised, OK, OK, before going to Frankfurt, I will cooperate with this aspect of public relations activities.

When he left with satisfaction, Gao Xian happened to meet an acquaintance who also came to the government, Eric Dobkin, who is in charge of securities underwriting business at Goldman Sachs. Naturally, he asked casually, what are you doing for public relations?

Eric Dobkin replied angrily. I heard that the British government has appointed Morgan Stanley as the underwriter of British Telecom shares, so I decided to lobby every senior British government official I can find.

"As far as I know, it's a foregone conclusion." Gao Xian thought for a moment and then came up with an idea: "however, with Morgan Stanley's consistent underwriting method, the institutions will be brought together and a wholesale conference will be completed. It is estimated that the issuance effect expected by the British government will be greatly reduced."

"I think you might as well focus your lobbying on not optimistic about Morgan Stanley's underwriting ability and lay a foundation for getting the stock underwriting rights of other privatized British state-owned enterprises in the future."

"If it's really irreparable, it's only second," Eric Dobkin sighed. "Sir Gao has gained a lot."

Gao Xian said modestly, "I am also under great pressure to help Xiangjiang exchange fund increase its assets."
