Elena, as the deputy leader of the acquisition team, although she is already mentally prepared, after all, it is the first time to participate in formal work, and she still holds such an important position, so the psychological pressure is naturally very great, and she is afraid that she will not be able to play a role.

For this reason, after returning in the evening, she is also racking her brains to find a feasible starting point.

As for his younger brother Henry, he took advantage of the holiday to have nothing to do, learned kung fu for a day, and was so tired that he lay down, and took a shower and went back to his room early after dinner.

"Ding Dong!"

"Ding Dong!"

Just as Elena was concentrating on her thoughts, she was startled by the sudden ringing of the doorbell.

She patted her chest to calm herself, and then cautiously made her way to the door, looking out through the cat's eyes.

"How is Daddy?"

Seeing that it was her father Carter Howard and bodyguards at the door, Elena was very surprised.

Isn't my father usually in Norfolk, and it's eight or nine o'clock in the evening, so why did he come to London?

Before she had time to think about it, Elena opened the door and called out affectionately, "Good evening, Dad!"

Carter Howard looked at Elena with a loving face, hugged her softly and said, "My little angel, was it an accident to see Daddy?"

"Daddy, come in, it's too cold outside. ”

With that, Elena welcomed her father and the others in, and then locked the door again.

Carter Howard got off his hat, sat on the furry couch and roasted the fire, and asked his daughter, who had just sat down, "Henry, why don't you see him?"

Elena replied helplessly: "He practiced Chinese kung fu for a day, he was very tired, and now he is asleep in his room." ”

Carter Howard raised his eyebrows, surprised by his precious son's perseverance, and said with a smile: "Since he is asleep, forget it, wait until he wakes up tomorrow to see him." ”

"Dad, why did you come to London so late, you rang the doorbell just now, and it scared me. ”

Elena said, with a worried look on her face.

Carter Howard looked apologetic: "Okay, scared my little angel, I was wrong. ”

"I'm coming to London this afternoon, to deal with some business matters, and by the way, old friends, no, just after dinner, I saw that it was still early, and you shouldn't have slept, so I stopped by to have a look. ”

Hearing her father's explanation, Elena whispered and stopped asking, and continued to brew his father's favorite Blue Mountain coffee.

"Daddy, your coffee!"

"Thank you!"

Carter Howard warmed his hands with a cup of relief, while blowing the hot air, took a sip, and exclaimed, "Drink it and drink it, or my baby daughter's coffee is better." ”

At this time, Carter Howard glanced at the information next to Elena, thinking of the recent situation, he put down his coffee and asked softly: "Elena, how did you apply for the Bright Fund? I asked your mentor, why don't you tell me, I can send you in any company you want to work out." ”

Elena smiled and said, "Dad, don't worry, I think I can achieve the effect of exercising myself in the Bright Fund, so I applied for the job, and it is also convenient to take care of Henry." ”

"Actually, I'm the deputy head of an acquisition team right now, the position is important, the workouts are good, you can see I'm having a challenge right now, so I'm at home at night. ”

Carter Howard listened to his daughter's words and was very relieved.

He glanced at the information beside Elena and suddenly asked, "Is it about the acquisition of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars?"

Elena was stunned for a moment, looked at her father's smiling face, thought for a moment and asked, "Dad, how do you know?"

Carter Howard explained with a smile: "Don't forget, I am a director of Lloyds Bank, and the Bright Fund has entrusted Lloyds Bank as an acquisition advisor, and I, as a director, am certainly qualified to know about this." ”

Of course, this is Carter Howard's statement, in fact, he has long known the acquisition intentions of the Bright Fund.

His daughter and son are both in London, and they were almost hurt some time ago, and they are always running to the Bright Fund later, how can Carter Howard not pay close attention?

In this way, it is natural to know that the Bright Fund is preparing to acquire Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.

It stands to reason that the UK is so big, there are countless companies, and no one can know every move of all companies, but who put Elena in the Bright Fund?

The scope of the investigation is directly and infinitely narrowed, although the Bright Fund has taken precautions, but it continues to recruit, while collecting information about Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, and also hired the assistance of a British public accounting firm, the news naturally cannot be hidden, Carter Howard knows it as soon as he deliberately investigates.

As for Lloyds Bank, although he is a director, in terms of business, although he has the right to know everything, the bank does not need to report to him in everything, after all, he is not the chairman.

So he said that the information he got from Lloyds Bank was naturally just a false statement.

"Okay!"

Elena was relieved, and couldn't help but pick up the information again and look at it, she was a very responsible girl, and now her mind was full of acquisitions, and she was uncomfortable if she didn't look at it.

Carter Howard was very happy to see his daughter in such a state, but it was a pity that she was not a boy......

"Elena, can you tell me what's going on?"

Carter Howard asked casually as he took a sip of his coffee, leaned back on the soft couch.

"Our company has asked Lloyds Bank and the public accounting firm to assist in the acquisition, and now there is a second offer, the first was rejected, this morning is the second offer, successfully met with the top management led by Rolls-Royce CEO Frank Richard, temporarily in trouble, and now Lloyds Bank has acted. ”

Elena thought about it and explained the situation in detail.

Carter Howard bowed slightly, shook his head and commented: "With Lloyds Bank's connections, it can indeed play a big role, but many times, when it comes to issues of principle, there will be a lot of criticism, even with Lloyd's Bank's connections, it may not be successful." ”

Elena suddenly frowned, looked at her father and asked, "Dad, is it because Xia Yu is from Xiangjiang?"

Carter Howard nodded: "Yes, this seems to be the biggest obstacle at the moment. ”

Seeing that his daughter was in a heavy mood, Carter Howard said: "Of course, there are no absolutes in the world, just like the Bright Fund can buy the Financial Times Group, he also has the right to buy the car company." ”

"As long as the people found by the Bright Fund can suppress the opposition, everything is not a problem, but it is a pity that although the connections behind Lloyds Bank are very strong, they are not enough to do their best for this business. ”

Elena pursed her lips and thought for a moment, then asked, "Father, if our family intervenes, will we be able to succeed?"

Carter Howard raised his eyebrows and was surprised: "Elena, why do you want to let the family do it? We don't have to do this at all, you have to know that there is a price to pay for mobilizing people." ”

"Wait!"

"Could it be that Xia Yu recruited you into the company and asked you to be the deputy team leader, just to let you mobilize the power of the family?"

Speaking of which, Carter Howard was reluctant to believe that his daughter would be so irrational.

Elena smiled and shook her head and explained: "Dad, Xia Yu didn't make this kind of request to me, he just told me that my background would be helpful to his acquisition, so he arranged me in my current position, I thought it would be helpful for my exercise, so I agreed, but I didn't promise to let the family help him." ”

Hearing his daughter say this, Carter Howard showed a relieved smile, and at the same time glanced at Xia Yu for confessing to his daughter.

"Elena, do you really want the acquisition to be successful?"

Carter Howard thought for a moment, suddenly looked at his daughter seriously, and asked.

Elena was stunned for a moment, nodded, and showed an affirmative smile: "Yes, this is the first project I have been in contact with, of course I hope to be able to complete it perfectly, this is for my college career, to give my tutor a satisfactory answer." ”

"And Xia Yu is my friend, he not only saved Henry, but also asked the bodyguard to teach Henry kung fu, of course I have to do my best to help him. ”

"So no matter how difficult it is, I'll do my best!"

"Friends?"

Carter Howard whispered, and the shocking information about Xia Yu that he had learned before came to his mind, and then thinking about Xia Yu's friendship with his daughter and son, he was sure in his heart, and said to his daughter: "Then Elena, after you go to work tomorrow morning, ask Xia Yu to come here, and I haven't thanked him in person!"

Elena's eyes lit up and she asked, "Dad, are you planning to use the power of the family to help him?"

Carter Howard shook his head with a faint smile and said, "No, I just want to see what kind of person he is, and then tell him what to do by the way." ”

Despite this, Elena was still very happy, and she couldn't help but wonder: "Dad, why don't you tell me now, where to start?"

"Haha!"

"Elena, let's talk about it tomorrow, I'm worried about telling you, you will tell your friends tomorrow. ”

Carter Howard joked.

Elena pouted and rolled her eyes, and said helplessly, "Okay Dad, I'll definitely inform him tomorrow." ”

That evening, Carter Howard called the head of Lloyds Bank after his daughter went upstairs and asked him to give him the details of the Bright Fund's acquisition of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars by tomorrow morning.

The next day, when Xia Yu was sorting out his career map in the office, Elena suddenly knocked on the door of his office.

"Elena, come in!"

Elena walked in, first smiled at the smiling Li Qian, and then said naturally, "Boss, I have something I want to report to you." “

"Is the acquisition progressing?"

Xia Yu asked, a trace of expectation rose in his heart.

And he was pleasantly surprised by Elena's answer: "My father came to London, and he asked me to ask if you were free, and if so, go to my house, and he wanted to talk to you." ”

"Of course I'm free!"

Xia Yu said without hesitation.

"It's three o'clock in the afternoon!"

After saying that, Elena showed a charming smile and left Xia Yu's office.

When Elena left, a smile appeared on Xia Yu's face.

Seeing this, Li Qian was also happy for Xia Yu from the bottom of her heart, and quietly came behind Xia Yu and gently pinched his shoulder.

PS: It's the end of the month, don't waste the recommended monthly pass tickets, thank you!
