Chapter 87

Among the UK's travel methods, trains are a very important part. The UK's train lines are also well-connected and not only undertake the mission of transportation, but in fact, the scenery along many UK train lines is beautiful!

From mountains to plains, from forests to beaches, you can give people an extremely shocking visual beauty everywhere you go. At the same time, the good scenery along the way also makes travel a relaxing and enjoyment.

More than an hour later, the train drove into Charing Cross Station in central London. After stopping, Arthur carried the two people's luggage in one hand and held the petite Emilia in the other hand. As the passengers got off the train slowly walked off the train.

Unlike the train stations in the UK, passengers are allowed to wait on the platform beside the railway tracks, and there is no need to pass through many complicated mechanisms, so you can't see the situation of dragging heavy luggage all the way to catch the train. Instead, it's like visiting the free market, relaxing and comfortable.

There were old men in their 60s, local handsome guys in their early 20s, honest fat aunts, and trendy men and women wearing strange earrings. In the intertwined crowds that were coming and going, people were wearing hot coffee wrapped in brown anti-scalding paper circles in their left hand, and carrying light luggage in their right hand, chatting and laughing, entering the station and taking a bus, preparing to start their own journey.

You stand on the bridge and look at the scenery, and the people who look at the scenery are watching you upstairs...

The intimacy and strong height contrast between Arthur and Emilia have also become a landscape in the eyes of many people on the platform. Is this huge gap really good?

"Dear, it seems people are looking at me? Is there any problem?"

Emilia, who was a little uncomfortable with some eyes, snuggled in Arthur's arms, looked up and asked with an unnatural expression, and combed her hair with her hands.

"Haha, there is no problem at all, the main reason is that you are too beautiful." Arthur praised seriously.

"Hate!" Emilia's pretty face turned slightly red, she pounded her lightly, and raised her lips to a charming look. It seemed that her boyfriend's sweet words still made her very happy and enjoyed.

"Haha, maybe there is another reason..." Arthur smiled and raised his eyebrows and lowered his head and jokingly in Emilia's ear: "They are all lamenting that you have a good appetite."

"Good appetite?" Emilia didn't react and looked at Arthur with a puzzled face and asked.

Arthur smiled and looked down at his bulging pants. Emilia looked at her eyes, her pretty face turned red, her eyebrows were raised, and she was gritting her teeth and annoyed. While pinching Arthur's waist with her fingers, she whispered: "Bastard! You are so hateful..."

"Haha... if you have a good appetite, your health will be good, and you will eat anything delicious!" Arthur laughed proudly. Under the curious eyes of the people around him, Emilia, who was angry and angry, hugged her tighter and walked out of the station quickly.

Outside the station, financial consultant Robert Lang and lawyer James Cronin were already waiting.

"Come"

Lawyer James suddenly said to Robert Lang beside him and quickly met him. Robert Lang also saw his luggage in the direction James was walking towards, hugging a white suit, straight jeans, petite figure, and a beautiful girl with a sweet smile on her face, hurriedly stepped up.

"Good morning, boss." x2

"Good morning, please trouble you." Arthur smiled and let go of Emilia's right hand, shook hands with two subordinates.

"This is what we should do. The car is outside. The hotel has arranged it. Boss, please."

Attorney James said with a smile, reaching out and making an invitation gesture.

Arthur smiled and nodded, allowing James and Robert to take the suitcase she was carrying and walked out of the train station. A series of black Ford SUVs leaned against the roadside. When he saw Arthur and his group coming, the driver standing next to the car opened the door with great vision.

When he got into the car, Arthur looked at the lively scenes of people coming and going near the entrance of the station and sighed a lot. London was very familiar to his predecessor. This was the place where his predecessor lived and fought. However, for Arthur now, the last time he left the hospital, the London scenery outside the car window was his first impression, but he passed by in a hurry.

This time he really came to London, but things have changed!

"Boss, I have booked a room for you at Connaught Hotel..."

"Uh? OK." Arthur, who was interrupted by Robert Long's words, smiled and said, "Robert, I came here this time to meet with the managers of Halifax Bank and Santander Bank. I hope to complete the negotiations as soon as possible."

"I received your call before and made an appointment with them. Tomorrow is Santander Bank and in the afternoon, it is Halifax Bank. Although these two banks are currently the lowest interest rates and the two most interested options, they have huge objections to the loan payments and do not fully recognize the assessment report we have provided..."

Financial consultant Robert Lang replied, and once again clarified the focus of the differences between the two sides. "According to a report released by the real estate data agency, the UK housing prices fell for the sixth consecutive month in September, and this decline will continue until next year, as the demand in the real estate market is "weak" and banks have tightened mortgage lending standards.

According to data released by the Bank of England, bad debts in the UK's banking industry surged in 2009. Due to borrowers' inability to repay loans, British financial institutions wrote off a total of 9.3 billion loan bad debts this year, up nearly half from 6.9 billion in 2008. Among them, bad debts for mortgage loans rose from 408 million pounds in 2008 to 984 million pounds, and bad debts for other loans rose from 3.2 billion pounds to 4.2 billion pounds.

All banks have been more cautious in lending after suffering huge losses of bad debts, scrutiny of lenders, and loan interest rates are also rising. According to surveys, credit card loan interest rates have risen to a 12-year high of 18.8%.

Banks tightened lending standards, which caused the amount of loans to fall to less than half of the real estate boom in 2007. According to a report released by the British Bankers Association on September 23, the number of mortgages approved by British banks in September reached its lowest level since March 2009, and the UK economy is at its worst in the recession cycle."

Listening to the reality introduced by Robert, Arthur was a little helpless. Faced with the decline in land value, the bank became more cautious, which was a contradiction with his insistence on borrowing more money. It seemed that if he wanted to get the money as soon as possible, he had to make some concessions.

Emilia, who was standing beside her, frowned slightly, and she also heard the conversation between her boyfriend and her subordinates. She was also a little curious. Didn’t her boyfriend just earn more than 2 million pounds? She should not be short of money. Why do you think that he wants to borrow a lot of money from the bank?
