"Not yet, boss. We only have a branch in France in Europe." said Kean.
"Set up a branch in London as soon as possible. Hardy Group has a company there, Hardy Auction House. Seek Victor's help, it will make things easier for the newspaper."
Although Kean didn't understand why his boss was insisting on urgently establishing a branch in London, he agreed immediately.
Hardy hung up the phone, thought for a moment, and then called John Stone, the president of Wells Fargo Bank. "John, Hardy Group has begun expanding its business in London and France. I think Wells Fargo Bank needs to open branches in these places too."
"London and France? Boss, do you have high hopes for the current European market?" asked Stone.
"Yes, although the conditions there aren't as good as the U.S now, the future is promising. Plus, there's less competition there compared to the U.S, where each City has hundreds of banks."
