After renting a boat to accompany them out for a day, long Jianhua left xiangdao on July 12 and arrived at Yingguo on July 13. He went to the headquarters of standard bank with Louis waiting there.


    Louis didn''t sound excited on the phone, but he was very excited.


    Along the way, he told long Jianhua about the focus of the whole acquisition process.


    Acquisitions are multi pronged.


    Long Jianhua''s company account, xiangdao bank account and financial investment company account are acquired in the secondary market; At the same time, he and three others lobbied for major shareholders.


    After 21 days of operation, it finally got the controlling position and finally passed the parliamentary inquiry, making the acquisition effective.


    Finally he said, "Mr. long, Ken Livingstone, President of the Greater London Council, wants to meet you."


    The reason why he is called the speaker of the Greater London City Council is that London has never had a real city government and mayor; At this time, the "city of London" is actually only the central old urban area with an area of 2.59 square kilometers, also known as the financial city.


    It was not until Blair came to power in 1997 that there should be a municipal government in London that there was a city of London governing 32 districts and towns.


    Long Jianhua was stunned. "How did he think of meeting me?"


    Louis rubbed his face. "Maybe he had nothing to do yesterday afternoon. He came to the headquarters for a walk. I happened to be there, and we talked for a while. I mentioned that you would arrive this morning, so he decided to meet you. "


    Long Jianhua said noncommittally, "let''s meet."


    This guy doesn''t have his own car, let alone a full-time driver. He takes the subway to work every day.


    The iron lady is known as the "troublemaker" and Blair as the "disaster in London". In Eagle country politics, it is a leftist who is famous for being outspoken.


    He is very popular with the grassroots party members of the Labour Party, but he is not tolerated by the top.


    He is willing to talk with Sinn Fein party and the Elland Republican Army, support the European single monetary policy, and call for the abolition of the monarchy. These are not tolerated by the mainstream of Eagle politics.


    Also because of these leftist positions, he is called "Red Ken".


    After Brian proposed the establishment of the city of London, the election began in November 1999. Ken Livingstone was already the speaker of the Greater London City Council at this time. He decided to run.


    However, the top leaders of the Labour Party, especially Brill, did not want him to run. As a result, the man quit the Labour Party and ran as an independent. He even won 58% of the votes and was successfully elected as the first mayor of London, with more votes than the sum of the second Conservative Party and the third Labour Party candidate.


    The reason why long Jianhua is so clear about this paragraph is actually used as chicken soup for the soul——


    A person can ignore an organization as long as he has strong enough ability; A person with perseverance can achieve his goal as long as he has the ability.


    The car drove to the standard bank headquarters building and saw several people waiting there, one of whom looked familiar.


    Young, not tall, a weather beaten appearance.


    Louis said with a smile, "speaker Ken Livingstone has arrived. The one in the middle is."


    Long Jianhua thought 10000 words of MMP. The guy really took an unusual road and was waiting for himself outside.


    After getting off with Louis, Livingstone walked up to him and said in a loud voice, "I think this is Mr. jianhualong, President of xiangdao financial investment company."


    When long Jianhua was thinking about whether to stick his face or shake hands, and whether to stick his left face or right face first, his hand had stretched out.


    He stretched out his hand and smiled. "It''s a great honor to meet Mr. Ken Livingstone."


    Then, Louis introduced the standard bank waiting outside to long Jianhua. By the way, he knew all the people in the headquarters and the people in the parliament.


    Under the leadership of President miris, the party came to the conference room already prepared.


    As soon as the two sides sat down, Livingstone struck first, "Mr. long, on behalf of the Greater London Council, I welcome you to London."


    Long Jianhua smiled faintly, "welcome Mr. Ken Livingstone, speaker, to our bank for inspection. I heard from Mr. Louis that you were acting on a temporary basis. I don''t know what your advice is. "


    Livingstone looked at long Jianhua''s eyes for a few seconds, and then said with a smile, "Mr. long has come all the way. It''s reasonable that I should wait until you finish handling the matter. At the beginning, my character was like this. When I thought of what I should do, I wanted to finish it right away. "


    Long Jianhua smiled, "I''m sorry! Please wait five minutes and I''ll wash it briefly. "


    Ken Livingstone was stunned and laughed, "please!"


    He apologized and left the meeting room.


    In the face of the aggressive Livingstone, let him know that this is a standard, let him put down his sense of superiority, and then talk slowly.


    Five minutes is not long. I''m just good at this "honest boy".


    Back in the conference room, long Jianhua said sorry again.


    "Mr. Ken Livingstone, welcome to standard bank again."


    Livingstone laughed. "I''ve been here for the second time. From Hong island to London, I wonder if Mr. long sees any difference. "


    Long Jianhua nodded, "there are still some first impressions. Hong island is more energetic, and London looks more historical. "


    Livingstone waved his hand. "Is xiangdao young and energetic like you? However, I am less than 40 now, and I am also at a very energetic age. "


    Long Jianhua smiled and replied, "so greater London is glowing with greater vitality under your leadership."


    Long Jianhua has also been immersed in the cultivation of business mutual blowing and rainbow fart for more than 20 years. He is not afraid of ordinary people.


    Livingstone laughed. "Mr. long, London and niuyuk are the most important financial centers in the world. All kinds of environments here are unmatched by ordinary cities."


    Long Jianhua didn''t speak and listened to him.


    "At present, Europe and North America are the two most economically developed continents in the world. Your Asia is very poor except Japan."


    Seeing that long Jianhua just looked at him and didn''t intend to speak, he continued, "Mr. long, are you going to move the headquarters of the financial investment company to London?"


    Long Jianhua shook his head. "I don''t have such a plan yet. Mr. Ken Livingstone, speaker of Parliament, I am an economic man. All ways of behavior should be considered from an economic perspective. Making money is my hobby. Considering how to make money is my job, and how to make more money is my pursuit. "


    After listening to long Jianhua''s words, he rubbed his face, "how do you consider the future development of standard bank?"


    Long Jianhua said seriously, "the consistent practice of our board of directors is that since we want to do things, we should do our best, and the same is true for this bank."
