Liu Ji pondered for a moment before saying, "Boss, in the more than one month you have been away, if it is a big deal, it will only be a general election. ”

"In the late stages of the election, the competition is fierce, and the attention of the whole society is focused here, and we are related to Gerald Pater's successful candidacy for the position of Mayor of London. ”

"Nothing big happened on the commercial side, and what we had to do with it was that the price of gold in London had risen to $542 an ounce. ”

"The rest of our free time, we gather intelligence on the UK business market, occasionally make investments, and that's it. ”

Xia Yu bowed slightly, it was best if nothing happened, and according to common sense, there would be no chaos in this critical period, and he asked for the sake of insurance.

After that, the car drove to Xia Yu's manor, and after lunch, he first went to the station of the Galaxy Fund in London to learn about the recent specific progress of Liu Ji and others, and the situation was not bad.

Now they hold the London gold futures contract in the medium and long term, and there is no need to change it, so Liu Ji and others are idle, collecting business intelligence and preparing for possible plans in the future.

Xia Yu was very satisfied with their independent behavior, encouraged Liu Ji and others, and went to Guangming Fund Co., Ltd. again.

"George. ”

In the greeting of the employees, Xia Yu came to the office where the management was, just in time to see George Berkeley walking out of an office with a stack of papers, as if thinking about things, and did not pay attention to Xia Yu who appeared from the staircase, Xia Yu shouted softly.

George Berkeley was stunned for a moment, immediately turned around, and when he saw Xia Yu, a happy smile appeared on his face, and he walked over quickly: "Boss, you're back." ”

"Hmm! go to my office and say!"

"Okay!"

After speaking, George Berkeley followed Xia Yu to the latter's office.

Xia Yu found that although he was absent for more than a month, his office was spotless, very clean and tidy, obviously cleaned every day, and crystal clear water droplets could still be seen in the gaps between the leaves and stems of a pot of pothos placed in the corner of the table.

Such a scene made Xia Yu happy.

"Sit!"

Under Xia Yu's instructions, George Berkeley sat opposite Xia Yu, and in the middle was an elegant mahogany tea tray.

Li Qian, who followed Xia Yu in, naturally picked up the teapot and prepared to make tea.

"What's going on with the company lately?"

Xia Yu leaned back on the sofa, found a comfortable posture, and asked softly.

George Berkeley thought for a while and said: "Boss, I have handed over the acquisition of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars to Elena, and it is currently going well, and it has reached the step of government approval, but now the change of office is imminent, so there is no response to the approval." ”

"The Financial Times and The Telegraph are doing well. ”

"I'm mainly responsible for finding investment targets for the fund's funds, and have invested a total of £570 million in shares of seven companies, including Prudential, Legal General Insurance, Aviva, BP, Centrick, South Scotland, and National Grid. ”

"The next step is to invest in stocks in the banking, pharmaceutical and retail sectors, which are currently less risky and have a better overall trend. ”

"The Fund currently has a billion pounds of liquidity. ”

"That's where the company is right now. ”

After speaking, George Berkeley looked at Xia Yu quietly.

At this time, Xia Yu recalled George Berkeley's words, and he set aside three billion dollars for the Bright Fund to invest in large British companies, both to make money and to prepare for opportunities that may arise in the future.

Three billion dollars, when converted into pounds, exceeds 1.5 billion pounds and less than 1.6 billion pounds.

George Berkeley spent £570 million in just over a month, which was not bad.

And the seven companies invested, the first three are the big three in the insurance industry in the pound, followed by oil and gas companies, and the last two are the giants in the power industry.

In total, the seven companies fall into two categories, and that is finance and energy.

After Margaret comes to power, the UK will carry out economic reforms, and the British economy will improve, so the life of financial companies will be better.

And what Xia Yu knows is that Margaret began the privatization process as soon as she came to power, and the first one was to take BP, and it was normal for the company's stock price to rise.

As for the latter two power companies, although they will not be said to be profitable, their investment is quite stable, and they are also a relatively good investment target.

And the Bright Fund holds the shares of these large companies, which can quickly expand its influence and popularity.

"Well, just do what you planned. ”

Coming back to his senses, Xia Yu said to George Berkeley with a light smile, and the latter smiled easily when he heard it.

In his previous life, George Berkeley was the president of Goldman Sachs UK, and his ability was naturally top-notch.

After that, Xia Yu chatted with George Berkeley for a long time, and then asked him to continue to deal with work.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out, he saw Elena in a formal suit walking by with a folder, and it happened that Elena also saw Xia Yu, and she suddenly showed a pure and gorgeous smile.

"Elena, long time no see!"

"Boss, I didn't expect you to come back, Henry would have jumped for joy if he knew. ”

"Oh, I don't know if no one has been looking at him for more than a month, has he persevered?"

"You are not here, Henry is working hard, I see that he gets up very early every morning to practice kung fu, and now he looks like this, he always says that he wants his master to take a good look at his progress. ”

With that, Elena brushed the hair from her ear with her right hand and pursed her lips and chuckled.

This different style made Xia Yu's eyes light up, and it seemed that he felt that he hadn't seen him for more than a month, and Elena had become more beautiful again.

He couldn't help but praise from the bottom of his heart: "Elena, I just found that you have become more beautiful than before. ”

As he spoke, he looked Elena up and down with appreciative eyes.

Elena saw the calm appreciation and praise in Xia Yu's eyes, and said happily: "Really? Thank you for the compliment." ”

"By the way, boss, let me report to you on the acquisition of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. “

"Come in and talk about it. ”

With that, Xia Yu took Elena into the office.

Seeing that Li Qian was still in the office, Elena showed a friendly smile, and Li Qian responded with a smile.

"Boss, the current acquisition team ......"

As soon as she sat down, Elena entered the working state and told Xia Yu eloquently, Xia Yu listened attentively and nodded from time to time.

After a long time, after Elena finished reporting, Xia Yu pondered for a moment and asked her, "Did your father tell you anything?"

Elena said softly: "My father said that he has opened up the relationship above, and now he is stuck mainly because of the change of office, and the existence of objective factors that make it impossible to continue." ”

"But as long as the Conservatives come to power, there will be no problem and the takeover will be completed in May. ”

Finally got the exact news, Xia Yu smiled.

"Good. ”

"By the way, boss, are you going to my house for dinner tonight?" Henry came back from school in the afternoon to ask his master for advice, and he would be glad to know that you were here. ”

"Okay, then I'm going to trouble you again tonight. ”

"It's my pleasure to bother......"

PS: Ask for a ticket, thank you.
