After coming out of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, Xia Yu thought about how to talk to Margaret Thatcher later.

"Xia Yu, what are you thinking?"

Elena, who was sitting next to Xia Yu, turned her head sideways and asked softly.

Xia Yu came back to his senses and smiled indifferently: "When it comes to the acquisition of Leyland Automobile Group, I plan to go to Downing Street and talk to Ms. Margaret in person." ”

Elena looked at her and figured out the key, and she asked, "Do you need me to tell my dad about it?" He is also a shareholder of the company, and he has a good relationship with Lady Margaret, and if he intervenes, maybe it will be more efficient." “

Seeing Elena say this, Xia Yu was happy in his heart, and before he knew it, Elena came to his side and took the initiative to think about him.

If Duke Carter Howard finds out, I don't know if he will turn against him.

Shaking his head slightly, cutting through the clutter, he seriously thought about Elena's suggestion.

Duke Carter Howard is also a shareholder of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, and he naturally bears the corresponding responsibility for enjoying the results, and if he does not do anything, it is easy to have hidden dangers in the long run.

Moreover, although he himself is sure, if Duke Carter Howard can come forward together, it will be even more certain, and it will save him time.

Thinking of this, Xia Yu smiled and said, "That's okay, I haven't seen your father for a long time, so I just happened to visit him." Besides, his baby daughter works in my company and never comes home, so I have to show my head so that he doesn't think I've sold his baby girl. ”

"By the way, Elena, I'm going to stay in the UK for a few more days because of this. ”

Elena was still shy because of Xia Yu's ambiguous words in front of her, but she was immediately attracted by Xia Yu's words later, she couldn't care about her shyness, and asked with some surprise: "Really?"

Xia Yu smiled and said, with a touch of tenderness and a smile between his eyebrows: "Of course!"

Elena rejoiced in her heart and smiled and said, "That's great!"

......

Norfolk, UK.

Looking at the huge castle covered with snow in front of him, Xia Yu's heart flashed a throbbing.

Compared to this castle, his country estate in London was a thatched house.

"When the time comes, George should pay more attention, and if there is a castle for sale, he must definitely buy it. ”

A thought flashed in Xia Yu's heart.

Anyway, he's already so rich, he should spend something to make himself happy!

While Xia Yu was thinking, the car continued to drive towards the gate of the castle.

......

"Daddy!"

Carter Howard, who was reading a newspaper on a luxurious couch wrapped in furry reindeer fur, was awakened by a familiar voice, and he followed the sound to see Elena in a white down jacket with a flushed face.

Duke Carter Howard suddenly smiled, put down the newspaper and got up and walked over, and muttered: "It turned out that my little baby is back, Daddy misses you so much!"

"Dad, I miss you too!"

Looking at the cordial greetings of the father and daughter, Xia Yu stood quietly beside him with a smile.

Ten seconds later, Duke Carter Howard looked at Xia Yu, Xia Yu immediately put his right hand on his chest, bowed slightly and greeted politely: "Sir Carter, excuse me!"

"What's this disturbing, you're welcome, please take a seat!"

Duke Carter Howard said with a smile in a kind manner.

"Thank you!"

"Tea or coffee?"

"Let's get a coffee!"

Just now I noticed that there was coffee on the table in front of Duke Carter Howard, so Xia Yu said subconsciously.

The servant who had just come over listened to it and immediately went to grind and brew coffee silently.

"Elena, you haven't been here for a long time, how many days are you going to stay when you come back this time?"

"Dad, I haven't decided yet, let's see it later. ”

"Well, you've grown up too, and I respect your ideas, but you know, Daddy really misses you, and Henry goes to school in London again, and most of the time I can't see you two......"

"I'm sorry Dad......"

......

Duke Carter Howard was really affectionate in front of him, an outsider, which really surprised Xia Yu.

But thinking of the evaluation of Duke Carter Howard, saying that he is an alternative among the nobles, a nobleman full of romantic feelings, Xia Yu suddenly understood.

Perhaps in Duke Carter Howard's conception, he just doesn't care about this outside view.

Xia Yu silently looked at the surrounding decorations and layouts.

It has to be said that the castle is full of the heritage and cultural depth of a ducal family, with various exquisite sculptures on the roof and surrounding walls, oil paintings hanging on the walls, exquisite porcelain and small sculptures on the closets, unique patterns on the pillars around it, a huge crystal chandelier hanging from the roof, and purple agate inlaid in the glass.

Each place is delicate and full of charm, and it feels like you have stepped back in time to the Middle Ages, which is completely different from the feeling of a modern city.

"Sir, your coffee!"

Just when Xia Yu was looking at the decoration with interest, the subordinate brought a cup of coffee and put it in front of Xia Yu, waking him up.

Xia Yu responded with a smile: "Thank you!"

"You're welcome!"

At this time, as if sensing that Xia Yu was a little embarrassed to sit alone, Elena took the initiative to provoke the topic and said in a show-off tone: "Dad, now the turnover of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars is about to exceed 150 million pounds. ”

Duke Carter Howard frowned, he really didn't know this data, he also paid special attention to the new car in early January a few days after it went on sale, but he didn't expect that in just over a month, the sales were almost 150 million pounds!

Thinking of the previous acquisition of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars as a whole, it only cost 120 million pounds, and he only paid 24 million pounds, even if you add the 10 million pounds when the joint capital injection was added, the cumulative amount is only 34 million pounds.

But with sales of £150 million today, it is not a problem to exceed £1 billion a year on current trends.

And as a high-end and top-of-the-line luxury car, the brand premium is very high, so the net profit margin is much higher than that of ordinary car companies!

And the reason why there are today's results is entirely because of Xia Yu.

Duke Carter Howard looked at Xia Yu and said with a sigh: "Mr. Xia, the achievements of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars are completely due to you. ”

Xia Yu modestly shook his head and smiled: "No, Sir Carter, without you, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars would definitely not have the results it has today, because it would still be under the Rolls-Royce Group." ”

Carter Howard was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

"Your answer is very chic......"

Xia Yu shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands and said, "But that's the case, isn't it?"

Carter Howard smiled and said, "Maybe......"

After laughing, Xia Yu looked straight and stated: "Sir Carter, yesterday I went to Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, and Rudolph Brooke made an acquisition plan, let me show you." ”

As he spoke, Xia Yu took out the plan made by Rudolph Brooke yesterday from his bag and handed it to Carter Howard.

The latter was a little surprised, silently took the plan, and quietly flipped through it.

Xia Yu picked up the coffee and tasted it slowly.

With Carter Howard's intelligence, after reading the plan, he guessed Xia Yu's intention.

But he has to admit that this plan is very tempting and operational.

Originally, Carter Howard didn't pay much attention to the investment in Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, mainly to repay Xia Yu's kindness, and by the way, he participated in individual stocks and let his daughter Elena experience it.

Who knew that Xia Yu directly turned the tide and turned Rolls-Royce Motor Cars into treasure, and now it is completely the appearance of a rising automobile giant.

At this time, his 20% stake was worth much, and his mentality changed.

If run well, developing Rolls-Royce Motor Cars into a world-class giant, even with just a 20 percent stake, could more than double the Howard family's assets.

Maybe it's worth more than Lloyds Bank's equity!

Thinking of this, he didn't plan to go around the bend with Xia Yu, and took the initiative to say: "Mr. Xia, I think I can help in the acquisition of Lelan Automobile Group, and I have a little friendship with William Lyons and can persuade him to transfer the equity." ”

Leyland Motors Group is only the largest shareholder of Jaguar Motors, and the second largest shareholder is the founder Sir William Lyons.

Duke Carter Howard's boldness made Xia Yu feel good, and he smiled and said, "Thank you, Sir." ”

Xia Yu continued: "Do you think in order to be more efficient, is it necessary for us to talk to Ms. Margaret in person?"

Duke Carter Howard glanced at Xia Yu and knew that Xia Yu already had an idea, so he nodded and asked, "That's the best, when do you plan to go?"

"I can get ready for these two days, I wonder if you're free?"

"I'm free these days, and I'm always available. ”

After agreeing, Xia Yu asked again: "Okay, there is another question, the implementation of this plan requires a large amount of money, my initial idea is to borrow from the bank to acquire, what do you think?"

Before he came, he had thought about how to speak, whether it was a capital injection acquisition or a loan acquisition, and after thinking about it, he decided to acquire with a loan.

Although he is not short of money, there is no need for him to invest his money here, he can invest in the UK and maximize the value.

Moreover, once the capital injection is mentioned, what if Duke Carter Howard suddenly feels that his previous equity is too small and wants to expand his equity?

When the time comes, it's a nuisance.

Whether it is a refusal or a promise, in short, he will be the one who loses.

As for the other possibility that Duke Carter Howard would give up the capital injection, as long as he was not stupid, he would never give up the capital injection when the future of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars was bright.

Duke Carter Howard nodded in agreement: "No problem, with the current situation of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, I believe that any bank will be willing to relax, it just so happens that I am a director of Lloyds Bank, let me tell them, the loan is no problem." ”

"Then I'm sorry for you!"
