Barron was not very interested in family businesses like Hall Bank, or private banks.
As for the shares of Northern Rock Bank...
Now is not a good time to buy shares in this bank, and once Barron buys shares in Northern Rock Bank, his intentions will be revealed too obviously.
But it is also necessary to control an appropriate stake in the bank.
Therefore, Barron's final advice to Catherine was to sell the shares of Hall Bank to the Hall family, and keep the shares of North Rock Bank for the time being... and promised the Hall family that she would only serve as a director of North Rock Bank, and the voting rights of this part of the shares would become the Hall family's concerted action person...
The advantage of this is that it will not intensify the relationship between Catherine and the Hall family, and she can get a good price for the Hall Bank shares she sells.
Catherine was relieved by Barron's opinion. At least the relationship between her and the Hall family would not be too tense and there was room for easing.

Colin Hall's death was ultimately ruled an "accident".
It can be said that three parties are jointly pushing this: Barron, the Rothschild family, and the royal family.
Of course, the degree of "care" involved is also different.
What is more dramatic is that the Rothschild family is the most hardworking one among them. After all, they were the ones who arranged the people to do this - although they thought it was Barron in the car at that time...
As for Barron, he was mainly just going with the flow.
As for the royal family, it was only because Gabrielle was involved in this matter, but Gabrielle was at most a bystander - she hadn't even met Colin Hall that day, so the royal family just didn't let this matter involve her, and they took some leeway in other investigations.
But in the final analysis, apart from the Hall family, the most aggrieved family is still the Rothschild family...
Subsequently, the Financial Services Authority (FSA) of the United Kingdom completed its investigations into Standard Chartered Bank and DS Capital, and found no violations.
Then, because of the first episode of SDTV's new program, "The Shining Life", about Barron Cavendish, the Duke of Devonshire, which was released, and the recent events related to him, which attracted much attention in the UK, the ratings were extremely high...
This also had a reverse impact on Summit Media's share price, which rose again to over 25 pounds, and even reached a peak of nearly 28 pounds!
At this time, all attempts to short Summit Media's stock price, whether using financial means or "physical strikes", have failed. NM Rothschild Bank was very wise and did not borrow Summit Media's shares to increase its short selling.
The only way to buy shares of Summit Media was during the stock price rise and return the stocks that were previously borrowed for short selling.
According to rough calculations, in this operation, Rothschild Bank's losses from shorting Summit Media alone were nearly 100 million pounds.
What made Benjamin Rothschild even more depressed was that the vast majority of the stocks that were finally released to him for purchase at a high price were most likely released by the offshore companies that had previously been his rivals...
Moreover, the Rothschild family's losses in this operation in Britain were more than just the apparent financial losses.
In addition, including the connections they used and the "allies" they lost...
For example, the relationship with the Hall family may have already changed from fans to haters, and their other partners may also need to consider future relationships.
…
After this battle, Barron had already acquired nearly 14 million shares of Summit Media at the price of 20 pounds through an offshore company. It should be noted that there are only 25 million shares of Summit Media in circulation in the secondary market.
Of course, when the price of Summit Media rose from 25 pounds to 28 pounds, they sold about 4 million shares, most of which were bought by the NM Rothschild family to close their positions, which made him earn nearly 30 million pounds...
He will not keep the remaining 10 million shares of Summit Media in his hands, and will continue to sell them in line with the stock price...
Anyway, it is very easy to make a profit of more than 100 million pounds with just these.
Apart from driving the Rothschild family away - after all, their strength is there. Even if Barron temporarily remembers the other party's "favor", it is still difficult to "kill them all" at this time - but killing the chicken to scare the monkey still has to be done.
After the matter began to calm down, several newspapers, including The Independent and London Evening Standard, suddenly broke the scandal of Liberal Democrat MP John Colen!
It is said that as early as the summer of 2002, John met a 23-year-old male reporter in a club.
According to the male reporter, "When we first contacted each other, I told him on the phone that I charged 80 pounds per hour. It was already late when we met that day. Afterwards, I guessed that he must have just finished a meeting in the House of Commons and rushed over. My apartment is a mile away from Parliament. When he arrived, although he was wearing a suit and tie, he looked a little flustered."
Over the next six months or so, John Coren frequently made appointments with the male journalist over the phone.
Since John Colen loved football, he repeatedly asked the other party to wear various football jerseys when they met.

As soon as this report came out, it immediately caused an uproar in British politics. Under pressure from public opinion, John Cullen had no choice but to issue a statement announcing his resignation as a member of Parliament.
It can be said that this incident basically ended his political career.
He should have anticipated this result when the review of the company under the Duke of Devonshire's name was hastily concluded with no violations.
At the same time, another Labour MP who had come forward to call for an investigation into Barron's company did not wait too long.
The news that he had an affair with his female assistant and that she had given birth to an illegitimate child for him soon appeared in the newspapers...
As a result, of course, he had no choice but to resign in disgrace, ending his political career.
Barron is definitely going to end their political careers and will keep an eye on them. After all, only in this way can he let others know that if they are used as pawns to attack him, they must be prepared to be ruined in the end.
