"No, I want you to accompany me...Barron."
A maid next to Barron had just taken Tamaran when she saw her grab the corner of Barron's clothes and speak in a weak voice, but her expression was very firm.
"I'll take her up."
After signaling to the maid, Barron picked up Tamaran by the waist and walked upstairs.
Although Tamarin is tall, Barron still looks very relaxed holding her horizontally.
Tamaran was wearing a knee-length dress, black stockings, and high heels... Holding her like this, Barron's hands could feel her stockings... the quality was very good.
After he picked her up, the girl put her arms around Barron's neck and leaned on his shoulder.
Until Barron walked into the bedroom and prepared to put the girl on the bed...
"You can rest here for a while, um..."
Unexpectedly, Tamaran took the initiative to move forward and kissed Barron on the lips.
When Barron subconsciously used all his skills, he found that although this girl looked very...hot, she was very unfamiliar with the actual operation...
Just now, Barron had been feeling a little angry since he met Colin Hall and Catherine. Now, under the active provocation of the girls, Barron was no longer prepared to endure it.
Especially when she whispered in Barron's ear:
"I want you, darling..."
After this sentence, Barron was ready to learn some knowledge with her...
…
After a text message sound, Barron got up from the bed and put on his pajamas.
Looking at Tamaran, who was still immersed in sleep with tears in the corners of her eyes, he picked up his phone and walked out of the bedroom.
The text was from Nigel Inkster, some brief information about Colin Hall.
More details will be sent to Barron's email.
However, after seeing the content of this text message, Barron already had a general understanding of Colin Hall's background.
Colin Hall, born in 1977, is 27 years old this year. He is a direct descendant of the Hall family and the heir of this generation of their family.
The Hall family is considered a relatively well-established banking family, and the Hall Bank managed by their family is also one of the oldest private banks in Britain.
Like some other families, the Hall family has experienced glory and decline. In addition to managing Hall Bank at 37 Fleet Street in London, the Hall family also holds approximately 18% of the shares of Northern Rock Bank, making it the bank's largest shareholder.
Barron was no stranger to Northern Rock Bank. Part of the initial £25 million loan borne by the Devonshire family was issued by Northern Rock Bank.
In order to solve the urgent problem of these loans, Barron had negotiated with the representatives of those banks. The first one to jump out and cause trouble was Burris, the representative of Northern Rock Bank.
Later, the bank would rather lose some interest and asked Barron to repay the loan early.
I didn't expect that the Hall family, to which Colin Hall belongs, is actually the largest shareholder of Northrock Bank.
Northern Rock Bank, founded in 1965, was formerly the Northern Rock Building Society developed in northern England. It later developed into Northern Rock Bank and was listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1997. It is currently one of the top five mortgage banks in the UK with a market value of nearly 5 billion pounds.
At that time, the chairman of Northern Rock Bank was Richard Hall, Colin Hall's father.
Colin Hall previously worked at Northern Rock Bank's Manchester branch and recently moved to its London headquarters to take up the position of Head of Northern Rock Bank's Proprietary Trading.
Barron was a little surprised to see this. Colin Hall had been in Manchester before. It seemed that he was not a fan of Manchester United. Judging from his attitude towards him yesterday...
However, Barron still had a few questions at this time. One of them was when did Colin Hall and Catherine get together? You know, Catherine was engaged to his deceased elder brother before. If the two of them had been together before... then his elder brother was labeled a hat out of thin air.
Also, regarding the previous incidents targeting the Devonshire family, was Colin Hall, or the Hall family, involved?
For example, the North Rock Bank was so determined to ask the Devonshire family to repay the loan early. Was it because they were afraid of losses, or was it the Hall family's intention?
If they were involved, were they the main force, or were they the ones who fueled the situation?
In any case, the Hall family didn't seem to have any good intentions towards him. As for the inside story, Barron would slowly investigate. If the Hall family was really involved, then...
I'm sorry, but the Devonshire family is no longer the same as before. Anyone who has tried to take advantage of them will have to pay the price.
…
Although Bonnie has been very busy recently because she just took over Giant Studio, Barron has the opportunity to steal... a little time to relax.
But as he had said to Tamaran before, it was true that he was no longer accustomed to the leisurely life of young people from aristocratic and wealthy families. The increasingly large industry also required him to deal with many affairs every day.
After asking the housekeeper to take good care of Tamaran, Barron left The Holme and took a car to DS Financial Center.
Here, Barron met Alana Weston of the Weston family.
After confirming the cooperation with her last time, DS Capital withdrew from the acquisition of Selfridges Department Store. According to the agreement, the Weston family also acquired 5% of Selfridges Department Store shares held by DS Capital for 35 million pounds. With this item alone, they made a profit of more than 6 million pounds.
Today, Alana Weston came to DS Capital. In addition to completing the share transfer agreement with DS Capital, she also brought the head of the British Foods Group Pension Fund here to sign an investment agreement with Athena Fund to purchase a five-year fixed income fund product of 12.5% with a value of 100 million pounds.
In this way, together with the 100 million pounds investment from the Grosvenor Estate Employee Pension Fund of the Duke of Westminster, the total amount of funds of the Athena Fund has now reached more than 700 million US dollars - because of the continued appreciation of the pound sterling against the US dollar, after conversion to US dollars, it is almost 750 million US dollars.
Currently, the Athena Fund has begun to conduct quantitative trading in real operations. Through their supercomputers and the gradually improving mathematical models, they will automatically conduct buy-sell arbitrage transactions through programs.
However, in the current early stages, they still need to conduct manual monitoring to prevent unexpected situations.
Currently, the main investment direction of the Athena Fund is still stocks in the technology, real estate and other industries in the Nasdaq market. Since the fourth quarter of this year, the Nasdaq market has begun to recover and has entered a rebound after the market bottomed out after the Internet bubble crisis.
In addition, Athena Fund also has funds for investment in the foreign exchange, crude oil and gold futures markets.
Friends who have experience in quantitative trading will know that the most difficult thing in quantitative trading is to judge the market trend for a period of time. Only by guessing the trend correctly can you get greater returns.
In this regard, Barron has an unparalleled advantage. With his understanding of the big trends, he can help the Athena Fund's quantitative trading mathematical model pass the early improvement process more smoothly and obtain higher returns.
"Ms. Weston, I wonder what you think about the acquisition of Primark?"
After finishing all this, Barron invited Alana Weston into his office and asked.
