I Am a Nobleman in England

Mr. Bolling, how is the negotiation going? "

"Mr. Bolling, how much is your personal contribution to this acquisition?"

"It has been reported that after you acquire a coastal power plant, you will lay off a large number of employees to reduce costs, improve short-term operating efficiency, and then go public to cash out..."

. . . . . .

When Arthur finished his visit and walked out of the office building of the coastal power plant, he was surrounded by squatting reporters, listening to all kinds of kind or sharp questions, Arthur stopped indifferently, looked at the The reporters, who were still impatient and scrambling to be the first despite being stopped by the bodyguards, said calmly.

"First of all, I would like to thank everyone for your concern. The negotiation went smoothly. A framework agreement has been signed, and the acquisition process is progressing smoothly."

The reporters at the scene fell silent as Arthur opened his mouth to accept the interview. They listened attentively to Arthur's answer, and Arthur continued to say with a slightly raised corner of his mouth: "As for the issue of whether the coastal power plant will be listed , I can’t answer you now. After all, the power plant has not yet completed the acquisition. Of course, any company that wants to grow and develop cannot do without the support of funds. Listing is a very good choice, but that’s a matter of the future. .”

"Some economists believe that your acquisition is a complete speculation, a standard Wall Street barbarian, it is speculation, and what you bring to the coastal power plant will only be serious debts. , you will abandon the power plant without hesitation, what do you want to respond to?"

"Hehe, barbarian? Thank you for being so respectful of me." Facing the difficulties of the journalists who kept making troubles with their eyes shining, Arthur was not angry. After receiving information about the factory, he has been reported on the financial pages of major media.

The titles of young speculators, snakes, careerists, etc. are all put on their heads. Of course, it is not ruled out that someone is behind the scenes to help fuel the flames. The world is like this. Even if Arthur, a newcomer, does not make enemies. There are always some people who jump out for various purposes and want to step on a few feet.

"In my impression, those so-called 'savages' are all extremely intelligent and ambitious, better at and more willing to take risks, they are all excellent strategists, they know how to judge the situation and make the best use of it, they are all real businessmen elite.

As for me, I'm just a newcomer in the business world. I'm still learning everything, and I'm just on my way! "

Arthur calmly and confidently smiled and talked eloquently, which caused a burst of 'clicking' the camera shutter, "As for snakes swallowing elephants or careerists, I can only say that capital is savage, the strongest lion the king of the forest,

This is the law of the jungle.

Similarly, the power of capital promotes technological innovation to a certain extent and optimizes the allocation of resources. From these processes, the world has seen a period of rapid development in the history of the world economy, a brilliant financial city, and a city that controls the world's financial lifeline. Wall Street! thanks--"

After saying this, Arthur ignored the reporters who were asking questions more and more frantically. Under the protection of the bodyguards, he got into the car and turned his head to look at the reporters who kept slapping the window glass and yelling, Arthur Just smiled.

Some people say that a leveraged buyout is not only a capital war, but also a public opinion war. Arthur not only wants to win the coastal power plant easily, but also wins beautifully. Through this success, he will leave a deep impression on the world. In addition to telling the business world that he is Arthur Boleyn, he also wants to Build yourself a personality of a business genius.

Such things as fame seem to be vain, not only can satisfy one's own vanity, sometimes, it can really bring benefits to oneself.

Sure enough, just as Arthur expected, the next day all the major media rushed to report his interview content, but Arthur looked at those controversial headlines, his face was cloudy and uncertain, and at the same time, he also fully saw the immodesty of the British media. There is no lower limit, and the endless reports, which are not shocking, almost pissed him off.

"Business genius or madness and ignorance?"

"Future business tycoon or villain?"

"Beware, the young savages are knocking on the door!"

"A 21-year-old billionaire who just hit the road!"

Especially the headline of "The Sun" is undoubtedly the most hated, "I am a billionaire, I have succeeded, and you are also pairing with me?", from the first report on Arthur, the "Sun" is rubbish The tabloids have always been hostile to Arthur, and there are basically no normal positive reports.

Arthur really hates it, but the problem is that there is nothing to do with it, and, in the UK, there are not many people who hate the Sun like Arthur.

"Just wait, when the time comes, I will return with my revenge!"

Thinking of News Corporation and Murdoch's biggest Waterloo crisis, Arthur couldn't help squinting his eyes and sneered.

However, in any case, being able to be reported by many media is a good thing for Arthur, and controversy is undoubtedly a topic that allows people to continue to discuss and pay attention.

Some people may say that such a high exposure rate is too high-profile?

However, to the West, the more low-key you are, the more incompetent you will appear, and you will not make friends with you, and you will not dare to do business. But the more you can talk, brag, and high-profile, the more they will think you are good, dare to do business with you, and are willing to play with you!

Of course, being high-profile will definitely pay a price, so Arthur has always been adhering to doing things with a high profile and being a low-key person. After all, Arthur also knew the truth that the ancients said that a single word can rejuvenate a country, and a single word can harm a country.

Entrepreneurs' high-profile image and out-of-the-ordinary words and deeds can indeed play a very good role in promoting and improving their own enterprises. However, everything should be done in moderation, otherwise it will be counterproductive.

Therefore, after Arthur handed over the follow-up acquisition work to Angela, he boarded a plane to London and left Bristol.

Arriving in London and coming out of Heathrow Airport, Arthur ran into reporters and paparazzi squatting in the airport again. After another round of chaos, he got into the car under the protection of bodyguards and got out of the car. got entangled.

He also has to feel that this is the price of being high-profile and famous.

However, the benefits are also obvious. When he arrived at the investment company in the Financial City by car and was listening to Smith Jama's report, he received a call from Bob Diamond, CEO of Barclays Bank, about the acquisition of coastal power plants. , Barclays decided to take over, and they will finance Arthur's wholly-owned acquisition.

And this was undoubtedly the good news that Arthur wanted to hear the most!

"Hehe, Barclays Bank has agreed to finance the acquisition of the coastal power plant. In this way, the last trouble will be completely solved." After hanging up the phone, Arthur smiled happily and told the good news to the sitting Opposite Smith Jama.

"Boss, congratulations." Hearing the good news, Jama Smith also congratulated with a happy face.

"Hehe, to be honest, I thought Barclays would hesitate for a long time, but I didn't expect to give me an answer so soon." Arthur smiled and expressed his unexpected feeling.

"...Perhaps it is because of a financial report in the United States today and a rumor in the City of Finance a few days ago, which may be the key to Barclays Bank's decision." Hearing the surprise of the boss, Smith Jama first slightly Frowning, pondered for a while, and then said with some guesswork.

"Oh? What reports and rumors?" Arthur asked curiously.

"The rumor is that the Bank of England may announce on the 5th day after tomorrow that it will expand the money supply to 225 billion pounds. Bloomberg also conducted a survey of 60 economists based on this rumor, and 48 of them expect the UK to The central bank will announce on the 5th that it will expand the scale of easy money by another 50 billion pounds.

While doing so could expose the UK to the risk of over-stimulation of the economy, possible asset bubbles and a possible depreciation of the pound, it would be too late to react until the full impact of policy moves is felt.

I think that Barclays may be worried that we will look for new partners in the face of the 50 billion pounds that other banks may suddenly have. After all, it is not a secret that you are going to acquire a coastal power plant.

And if they have conducted an in-depth investigation and understanding of the coastal power plant, they must know that this is a high-quality project for their bank whose profit opportunities far outweigh the risks, then their decision is not difficult to understand! The more Jama Smith said, the more obvious the smile on his face.

"I see." Arthur also nodded with a smile. Barclays Bank, as the only bank that refused the British government's financial assistance in this financial crisis, still has nothing to do with the extra 50 billion pounds this time. Other banks that suddenly have a lot of money in their hands will undoubtedly try their best to mobilize these funds. In this way, if Barclays does not reply to him for a long time, maybe he will really find other banks to cooperate .

"If this is the case, then this rumor can basically be confirmed to be true. Otherwise, Barclays would not be so nervous and happy. In this way, we can also make use of this news to make a fuss."

Smith Jama looked at Arthur with unusually bright eyes, and said with a smile: "Boss, the remaining 10 million pounds in your hand can be used to operate and speculate in foreign exchange futures."

"Hehe..." Arthur shook his head and laughed, "I'll give you all the fifteen million pounds, and I'll leave more than one million pounds for emergencies. Now it's all right. I, a billionaire, really have no money."

"Hehe." Facing Arthur's self-deprecating ridicule, Smith Jama chuckled, and admired his boss's determination and courage.
