On the same day, London Financial Street.

Smith Financial Group, UK headquarters.

Abel stood in front of the LCD TV wall, with one hand in his pocket and the other hand holding a cup of coffee.

And behind him were all his men with glaring eyes.

Unlike my colleagues in New York, this group of traders in the UK except for the dozen or so people at the beginning.

It was the first time for everyone else to watch Abel conduct and operate capital investments up close.

Except this time, at other times, they can only be assigned tasks by their superiors.

But there is no way to observe Abel, who has become more and more "investment god", up close like now.

"Boss, John Cooper has signed the contract."

These companies can trace their roots and eventually find that their controllers are in the United States...

"Hello, Mr. Smith. I am James Ramsay, His Majesty's butler. Welcome to Prince William's party. Please come this way, distinguished guest. I will be your guide and servant."

"£9.90!"

That's not okay, this is something that may affect their future careers.

Now, that's it.

Crackling...

By this time, most British people knew that ITV was being shorted.

Followed by James Ramsay, followed by Edward.

After all, it is a television medium, and the sound is always louder.

After hearing Jace's data, the corners of Abel's originally calm face turned up, revealing a sunny smile.

After taking a sip of coffee, he placed the coffee cup on the table nearby.

Inner?

But Mick Desmond and the others are not fools.

There were already many active guests inside.

"£11.60!"

This will increase Smith Media's influence in the UK and even Europe.

Yes, Abel wants to acquire ITV in the UK.

There is such an atmosphere in the market. Therefore, in the afternoon, the stock price of British ITV was completely opposite to the trend in the morning.

When this leather case company acquired this shareholder's stock, the verbal agreement included a requirement for the shareholder to say what he said during an interview.

Other executives saw Mick Desmond like this.

As soon as the British ITV stock price opened, it rose crazily by 15% in half an hour.

The fine will only be imposed on dozens of pocket companies. If you dare to impose a fine, they will go bankrupt directly.

For many countries, Great Britain now no longer has the ability to stir things up.

Those investors who hope that Abel's acquisition of ITV in the UK will make them a fortune.

The good British media also swarmed in front of the British ITV headquarters building at noon.

But now Britain's influence is not what it used to be.

But if you play it well, it is also one of the most profitable ways to do it.

This position, in most periods, was a very prominent one.

Because this mode of bankrolling is obviously illegal.

Being vague and meaningless is the only thing he dares to say to the media.

“£10.90!”

Jace trotted over and whispered in Abel's ear.

Perhaps because of his good attitude and familiarity with the company's original business, he may be retained to take on other positions.

At the same time, we must have the ability to avoid surveillance from the regulatory level.

Generally, this situation only occurs when the power of the acquirer and the acquired party is very different.

Everyone is a professional manager, so of course they all chose the same choice as Mick.

Abel had seen James Ramsay's manor listed for sale on the numerous castle lists for sale.

A voice full of British flavor, the so-called standard sword accent, suddenly sounded.

To put it simply, this is the profit Smith Financial gained from sitting on the British ITV stock today.

In the morning, investors did not know the situation and were afraid of being trapped. British ITV fell crazily, so they went crazy and went short.

From this distance, it only takes ten minutes to walk.

"How many chips do we have now?"

They want to get some chips from British ITV.

The company that acquired the shares is a leather case company registered in Bermuda.

Abel has never used this method in the United States.

Of course, this can only be done after making sure that the original shareholders cannot hold on to the company.

Mick will choose to cooperate, and that is when he learns that John Cooper has been dealt with.

This is also a rare thing in acquisition cases.

So for British ITV, Abel is actually not as eager as those small and medium investors think.

This kind of banquet is usually attended by people.

The party started at 7 o'clock, and people arrived after 6 o'clock.

The ability of photographic memory allowed Abel to know that the James Ramsay in front of him was an important figure in the British royal family.

Hearing the old man's self-introduction, Abel raised his eyebrows.

But by the generation of James Ramsey and his father, the Dalhousie family declined.

"Including what Cooper has not handed over, the total is 35%. If it is used as part of the bargaining chip, it is only about 11%."

He is different from Murdoch who originally invested in Sky TV.

But now, isn't he in England?

"Roger that, boss!"

Finally, when the market closed in the evening, the share price of British ITV returned to around 14 pounds.

When he goes out, he still brings the entire motorcade with him, including a sufficient number of bodyguards.

At that time, it was a very worthwhile investment to spend several times the money to acquire Sky TV.

The reason for this situation is that a very large number of "information-sensitive" investors have received similar news and rumors.

It basically has nothing to do with business anyway.

The main reason is that although the total market value of ITV is not high, as the second largest TV station in the UK after the BBC, its fame and influence are there.

"It's very visual, isn't it? Last year, the newspaper industry included The Daily Telegraph, The Daily Mail, The Daily Express, The Daily Star, The Glasgow Herald, etc.

Wait, they have all been bought. In the magazine world, "New Scientist", "New Society", etc.

, they have also been bought. Now it is the turn of the television industry, and the target is obviously the British ITV. Yes, I think the people who are shorting ITV actually want to get it. Look, the people who are selling ITV stocks now, at most in the afternoon,

Or you will regret it tomorrow!"

This CEO therefore chose to cooperate as much as possible.

Kensington Palace is protected by the Royal Guards Division of the British Route Army.

In the colonial era, he would have been a man who could dominate the world with one hand.

The only ones who could enter were Abel and Edward, who was his personal bodyguard.

Because playing this trick requires strong market control.

This can be regarded as one of the biggest events that happened in the London stock market today.

That night, around 7:30.

Get off the Cadillac Monster.

So, did Smith really fail?

"Well, that means I made 190 million pounds from short selling in the morning. I made 150 million pounds from long selling in the afternoon? That adds up to 340 million pounds? Not bad. So be it, I'm on my way to Kensington Palace

Let’s not talk anymore on the way.”
