May I ask Mr. Boleyn, how are the negotiations going?"

"Mr. Bolin, what is the amount of your personal contribution to this acquisition?"

"There are reports that after you buy a coastal power plant, you will cut costs and improve short-term operating efficiency through a large number of layoffs, so that you can go public and cash out... “

。。。。。。

When Arthur finished his visit and walked out of the office building of the coastal power plant, he was surrounded by reporters who were squatting on guard, listening to all kinds of kind or sharp questions, Arthur stopped indifferently, looked at the reporters who were still impatient and scrambling under the obstruction of the bodyguards, and said lightly.

"First of all, thank you for your interest, the negotiations are going well, the framework agreement has been signed, and the acquisition process is progressing smoothly. ”

The reporters at the scene also quieted down as Arthur opened his mouth to be interviewed, and listened attentively to Arthur's answer one by one, and the corners of Arthur's mouth rose slightly and continued: "As for the question about 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 enterprise wants to develop and grow, it is inseparable from the support of funds, and listing is a very good choice, but that is a matter for the future." “

"Some economists think that your acquisition is outright speculation, a standard Wall Street-style barbarian, and speculation, and you will only bring serious liabilities to the coastal power plant, and when you finish making money in the listing circle, you will not hesitate to abandon the power plant, what do you want to respond to?"

"Hehe, barbarian, thank you for thinking so highly of me. In the face of the troubles of the reporters who are constantly stirring up trouble, Arthur is not angry, to be honest, in the past few days, as he announced that he is going to buy the coastal power plant, he has been reported by the financial pages of major media.

What young speculators, snakes swallowing elephants, careerists, etc. are all pressed on the head, of course, it is not excluded that someone is pushing BO behind the scenes, the world is like this, even if Arthur, a little newcomer, does not make enemies, there are always some people who jump out for various purposes and want to step on a few feet.

"I have the impression that the so-called 'barbarians' 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 they are all real business elites.

As for me, I'm just a newcomer to the business world, and I'm still learning everything, and I'm just on the road!"

Arthur smiled calmly and confidently and talked eloquently, causing a 'click' camera shutter sound, "As for snakes swallowing elephants or careerists, I can only say that capital is barbaric, and the lion with the greatest strength is the king of the forest, this is the law of the jungle."

In the same way, the power of capital has promoted technological innovation and optimized the allocation of resources to a certain extent, and the world has seen a period of rapid development of the world's economic history from these processes, a brilliant financial city, and a Wall Street that controls the lifeblood of the world's finance!

After saying this, Arthur ignored the reporters who were asking questions more and more frantically, and sat in the car under the escort of the bodyguards, and turned his head to look at the reporters who kept banging on the window glass and shouting, Arthur just smiled slightly.

Some people say that leveraged buyouts are not only a capital war, but also a public opinion war. Arthur not only has to easily win the coastal power plant, but also win beautifully, through this success, to leave a deep impression on the world, in addition to telling the business world that he Arthur Boleyn is here, he also wants to create a business genius for himself.

Fame seems to be a virtual thing, not only can satisfy one's own vanity, but sometimes, it can really bring benefits to oneself.

Sure enough, just as Arthur expected, the next day, major media rushed to report the content of his interview, but Arthur looked at those controversial headlines, his face was cloudy, and at the same time, he also completely saw the British media's unrestrained, no lower limit, and endless reports without shocking, and almost killed him.

"Is it business genius or hubris?"

"Future business tycoons or bad people?"

"Be careful, the young barbarian is knocking on the door!"

"A 21-year-old billionaire just hitting the road!"

In particular, the headline of "The Sun" is undoubtedly the most hateful, "I am a billionaire, I have succeeded, and you are also pointing fingers at me?", since the first report on Arthur, the "Sun", a garbage tabloid, has always been full of hostility towards Arthur, and there is basically no normal positive coverage.

Arthur really hated it, but the problem was that there was nothing that could be done about it, and in England, there were not many people who hated the Sun with Arthur.

"Wait, when the time comes, I will come back with a vengeance!"

Thinking of News Corp and Murdoch's biggest Waterloo crisis, Arthur couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly and sneered.

However, in any case, being able to be covered by many media outlets is a good thing for Arthur, and controversy is undoubtedly a topic that can keep people talking and paying attention.

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

However, for the West, the more low-key you are, the less capable you will be, and the less you will be able to make friends with you, let alone do business. But the more you can speak, the more you can blow, the higher the tone, the more they will feel that you can do business, and they will be willing to play with you!

Of course, there will be a price to be paid for being high-profile, so Arthur has always adhered to the high-profile approach and low-key life. After all, Arthur also knew that the ancients said that one word can prosper the country, and one word is enough to mislead the country.

The high-profile image of entrepreneurs, their words and deeds, can indeed play a good role in promoting and promoting their own enterprises, but everything must be done in moderation, otherwise it will be counterproductive.

So, after Arthur handed over the follow-up acquisition to Angela, he got on a plane to London and left Bristol.

Arriving in London and coming out of Heathrow Airport, Arthur once again ran into the reporters and paparazzi who were squatting in the airport, and after another chaos of chickens and dogs, he got into the car under the escort of bodyguards and got rid of the entanglement.

He also had to sigh that this is the price of being high-profile and becoming famous.

However, the benefits were obvious, and when he arrived at the investment company in the City and was listening to Smith Jama's briefing, he received a call from Barclays CEO Bob Diamond about the acquisition of the Coastal Power Plant, which Barclays decided to take over and they would finance Arthur's wholly-owned acquisition.

And this is undoubtedly the good news that Arthur wants to hear the most!

"Hehe, Barclays has promised to finance the acquisition of the Coast Power Plant, so that the last trouble is completely solved. After hanging up, Arthur smiled happily and told the good news to Smith Jama who was sitting across from him.

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

"Hehe, seriously, I thought Barclays would hesitate for a long time, but I didn't expect to give me an answer so quickly. Arthur laughed and said his surprise.

“。。。 Perhaps it was because of today's financial report in the United States and a rumor in the City a few days ago that it may have been the key to Barclays' decision. Hearing the boss's surprise, Smith Jama frowned slightly, pondered for a while, and then said with some speculation.

"Oh, what reports and rumors?" asked Arthur, intrigued.

"Rumor is that the Bank of England may announce on the 5th of the day after tomorrow that it will expand the size of the money supply to 225 billion pounds. Bloomberg also surveyed 60 economists based on this rumor, and 48 of them expect the Bank of England to announce on the 5th that it will expand the scale of loose money by another 50 billion pounds.

While doing so could put the UK at risk of over-stimulating, with the possibility of asset bubbles and the pound depreciating, it will be too late to react if the full impact of the policy moves is felt.

I think Barclays, in the face of the £50 billion that other banks might suddenly have in the face of a sudden overabundance, may be worried that we will be looking for a new partner, after all, it's no secret that you're buying a coastal power plant right now.

And if they have done an in-depth investigation of the coastal power plant, they must know that this is a high-quality project that is far more profitable than risky for their bank, then it is not difficult to understand their decision!" Smith Jama said, the more obvious the smile on his face.

"I see. Arthur also smiled and nodded, Barclays Bank is the only bank that refused to be bailed out by the British government in this financial crisis, and the extra 50 billion pounds this time is still nothing to do with them, and those other banks that suddenly have a lot of extra money in their hands will undoubtedly try to mobilize these funds, so that if Barclays does not give himself an answer for a long time, maybe he will really find other banks to cooperate.

"If that's the case, then this rumor is basically certain to be true, otherwise, Barclays Bank would not be so nervous and happy, so that we can also use this news to make some articles. ”

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

"Hehe... Arthur shook his head and smiled, "Fifteen million pounds are all for you, and I will leave more than one million pounds for emergencies, now it's okay, I, a billionaire, really have no money." ”

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