Rebirth of England.

Although it can be guaranteed that no one will report the relevant incident, there is no need for Barron to appear in the Olympic venue with Fan Bingbing and the children.

He simply took them to Chatsworth House.

As the ancestral home of the Devonshire family, it is also necessary to bring Andy and Belle over to have a look.

"Do you like it here, babies?"

The five-year-old child already looked like a little adult, but Belle looked too cute, like a doll, so Barron couldn't help but pick up his daughter and let her sit on his shoulders. Then he held Andy's hand and stood not far from Chatsworth House and asked.

"It's so beautiful, Daddy. It looks like a palace."

After Andy answered, Belle also waved her hand, pointed to the distance, and said to Barron in a baby voice:

"Dad, look over there are lambs and horses, can I go play with them?"

"Yes, yes, I want to ride a horse too..."

Seeing the two children rushing to do it, Barron said with a smile:

"Of course you can. I'll go over with you to play later. But you're too young to ride horses yet. But Daddy promises you that I'll buy you two ponies after a while."

"Great, Dad, let's pinky promise..."

At this time, Fan Bingbing was watching the warm scene between Barron and the two children and was very happy.

Over the years, Barron could only reunite with his family when he went to China, or occasionally when Fan Bingbing took the children abroad to see him, so he did not spend much time with Andy and Belle.

In the blink of an eye, both of them were going to primary school, so this time he took some time off to stay at Chatsworth House with Fan Bingbing and the children for a few more days.

Barron also did not forget his promise to his children, and took Andy and Belle to the stables at Chatsworth Estate to choose two Shetland ponies.

A dwarf horse is called a pony in English, which corresponds to the word horse, which refers specifically to a big horse.

There are two types of ponies: original ponies and cultivated ponies. Original ponies include Chinese ponies and British Shetland ponies, while cultivated ponies include American Mini ponies and Argentinian Falabella ponies.

The most famous of these is the British Shetland Pony, which originated from and was named after the Shetland Island in northeastern Scotland.

It is a strong, sturdy breed of pony, with an adult Shetland pony less than one meter tall (usually 70-85 cm tall).

The British royal aristocracy has a particular preference for Shetland ponies. They are pets of royal aristocrats and close companions of children.

When the Queen was a child, King George gave her and Princess Margaret Shetland ponies as pets, which cultivated the Queen's lifelong love of horses. She later served as honorary president of the Shetland Pony Association.

Although Shetland ponies are very rare and are called "pandas among horses", there are many of these horses in the stables of Chatsworth House. When Barron brought other children here before, they also loved playing with these ponies.

The two ponies selected by Andy and Belle will be airlifted to Cavendish Gardens (Yan Family Gardens) in Shanghai, where the two children will be able to accompany the two ponies frequently.

……

By the time Barron returned to London, the London Olympics had ended.

"Natixis Bank is preparing to acquire the shares of Commerzbank held by the German government. This news was no longer news a month ago. The share price of Commerzbank has also risen by more than 15% as various news came out..."

In the chairman's office of DS Financial Center, Daisy placed the documents in her hand on the table in front of Barron and said:

"Our Mars Fund has already purchased nearly 5% of Commerzbank's shares in the secondary market. However, according to our investigation, funds including BlackRock Group have also bought shares of this bank."

Natixis Bank's negotiations with the German government have been going on for quite some time, but neither side has revealed much information to the media.

The German government does not want Natixis to continue increasing its stake in Commerzbank before completing the acquisition of the German government's shares.

However, this does not pose a problem for Barron. Although it is not convenient for William Weber Capital to take action, it does not affect the actions of Standard Chartered Merrill Lynch and DS Group at all.

However, due to the impact of the news and the fact that they do not want to raise their stakes after their shareholding exceeds 5%, the DS Group's Mars Fund and Merrill Lynch Investment Fund currently hold a total of 10% of Commerzbank's shares.

As for the BlackRock holdings in Commerzbank mentioned by Daisy...

BlackRock was originally a passive investor - with the scale of BlackRock, Vanguard and Merrill Lynch, they certainly needed to invest widely in the constituent stocks of various stock markets.

Well, for example, they have an S&P 100 index fund, where they use the funds of the fund to purchase stocks according to the weight of each S&P 100 component stock, which will make the trend of the fund consistent with the trend of the S&P 100 index.

There are many similar index funds under BlackRock, Vanguard Group, State Street and Merrill Lynch - it is no exaggeration to say that the index funds of these four companies account for 80% of the total market value!

Prior to this, BlackRock, Vanguard Group, and even Merrill Lynch all invested in the German stock market based on various indexes. Since Commerzbank is one of the constituent companies of the German stock index DAX, many similar investment funds hold shares in this bank, and most of their holdings are linked to Commerzbank's status as a constituent stock in various stock indexes.

However, it is obvious that companies such as BlackRock Group have recently increased their holdings of Commerzbank shares, but the proportion is not high, which should also be affected by the news.

In addition to DS Group and Standard Chartered Merrill Lynch, the investment arm of William Weber Capital also purchased through institutions and currently holds nearly 5% of Commerzbank shares.

In this way, if Natixis Bank can finally reach an agreement with the German government to acquire its shares, Barron's side will be able to control nearly 50% of the shares of Commerzbank, which will most likely complete the merger of Natixis Bank and Commerzbank and maintain a controlling stake in the merged bank.

However, whether it is DS Group or Standard Chartered Merrill Lynch, acquiring less than 5% of Commerzbank's shares is not a big move.

Daisy's expression turned much more serious at this time:

"Indeed, according to our analysis, the Federal Reserve is likely to launch a new round of quantitative easing policy..."

Barron would not be surprised by this. After all, this was his speculation based on his past life experience and the current economic situation in the United States.

He heard Daisy continue:

"With the Fed's launch of QE3, other countries will inevitably have to follow suit and launch similar measures. This also means that a new round of money printing is coming, and we have to speed up our actions."
