In fact, what is said is very right, the entertainment industry is a paradise for the rich, and idle people are not allowed to enter.

Anyone who can survive in the entertainment industry has two brushes on their backs, either with a deep family background or a strong financial vault, otherwise it is difficult to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry, whether it is the Celestial Empire, Hollywood, or the United Kingdom.

Asking for a role for his sister Eddie and Emilia was not as troublesome as he imagined, and Mashat, as a producer, easily agreed to Arthur's request, of course, it was certainly not a very important main role.

To be honest, at first, Arthur didn't expect things to go so smoothly, but as Arthur himself thought, his status has changed from what it used to be, not just a small writer, as a producer Nigel Mashat, naturally will not refuse his little request.

What is a circle? A circle is a unique "person", the "ecological" environment formed, criss-crossed, colorful interpersonal relationships, and the circle has a background. Most circles are backed by the magic sword of power, but everyone around them, whether it is fish or shrimp, actively creates it, and finally constitutes a seemingly simple but unfathomable behind-the-scenes trading "black hand" with each other.

How could a veteran entertainment person like Nigel Massat let go of the opportunity to make friends with a billionaire earl like Arthur, so Arthur not only helped Eddie and Emilia get the roles, but also got the promise that he would try his best to set the filming location of the TV series in Boleyn Manor.

Hanging up the phone, Arthur couldn't help but smile and shook his head, sure enough, no one in the entertainment industry is a fool, not only that, they know how to watch people cook, and tend to be inflammatory.

Of course, Arthur is not disgusted with this kind of person, after all, it is not easy for anyone to survive, and everyone has their own way. In the same way, he also needs to meet different people to build his own network.

At 4:30 p.m., Arthur, dressed in a blue haute couture suit, sat quietly and leisurely in the inviting dining room in the sun-drenched private garden of Four Seasons Hotel Park Lane Avenue, overlooking the stunning landscape of Park Lane Avenue.

"Boss, Mr. Bob Diamond has arrived... Sitting next to Arthur, Angela, who was wearing a professional OL dress, suddenly reminded in a low voice.

"Huh?" Arthur hummed softly, looking back at a middle-aged man in a crisp suit, a red tie, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, who was being led by a waiter, followed by two entourage, Barclays CEO Bob Diamond.

With a smile on his face, Arthur got up from the couch, walked around the table, greeted the people, stretched out his hand and smiled, "Good afternoon, Mr. Diamond, I'm Arthur Boleyn, thank you very much for accepting my invitation." ”

"Hehe, good afternoon, Dear Lord Arthur Boleyn, it is my honour to receive your invitation, and I am very happy to meet you. ”

Hearing the other party's serious and formal address, Arthur was a little surprised, but he didn't pay much attention to it, smiled and introduced Angela to the other party, and then stretched out his hand to invite the other party to take a seat.

After the three of them took their seats, under Arthur's intentional friendship, the strangeness of each other was quickly alleviated, and the atmosphere became relaxed. I have to say that the American banker, who is regarded as the 'perfect manager' by the senior management of Barclays Bank, is very talkative and humorous, and Arthur also likes the other party's American way of communication very much, without the verbose and almost hypocritical politeness of the British.

“。。。 This selection of desserts is a delectable dessert created by the Executive Pastry Chef who draws inspiration from the 'Perfume Zone', 'British Native Plant Zone' and 'Beehive Zone' of the Chelsea Herb Garden. Very good. ”

Arthur smiled and presented Bob Diamond to the sandwiches, scones and jams made with the best seasonal ingredients from the herb garden on the traditional afternoon tea tray on the table.

"'When the clock strikes four times, everything in the world stops for tea in an instant', hehe, after so many years in the UK, afternoon tea has become the most anticipated time of my day, it can make me enjoy a rare mental pleasure in the middle of a busy work. Bob Diamond laughed and uttered one of the most popular comments of the English about afternoon tea, eliciting a knowingly chuckle from Arthur and Angela.

"Indeed, the delicate little snacks, the aroma of black tea, the brilliant sunset in the afternoon... In such a quiet and beautiful afternoon, it is really pleasant to share the bits and pieces of life with friends. Stealing half a day of leisure, no matter how much trouble you can forget, all in all, high tea is responsible for managing fullness, and low tea is responsible for mental pleasure. Arthur said with a smile.

"Hehe, that's right, what Your Excellency said is so incisive, high tea is responsible for satiating, low tea is responsible for spiritual pleasure, for spiritual pleasure-" Bobo raised the black teacup with a smile and gestured to Arthur, who also raised the black teacup, nodded elegantly, and tasted it together.

Bob Diamond's information, before coming, Arthur has seen that the fifty-year-old Diamond, is definitely the world banking industry, as an American from an investment bank, he has become the CEO of Barclays since 01, and successfully led Barclays from a comprehensive xing bank to an investment bank.

Especially after the outbreak of the financial crisis in 08, Barclays Bank, under his leadership, not only refused the bailout of the British government, but also successfully acquired the US business of the collapsed Lehman Brothers without the support of the British government, and thus gained a firm foothold on Wall Street.

Barclays Bank, which has become an investment bank, is undoubtedly the most needed and easiest for Arthur to get a strong partner and backing, investment banking is a type of financial institution corresponding to commercial banks, mainly engaged in securities issuance, underwriting, trading, corporate restructuring, mergers and acquisitions, investment analysis, venture capital, project financing and other business of non-bank financial institutions, is the main financial intermediary in the capital market.

So as the afternoon tea drew to a close, Arthur took the proposal for the acquisition of Bristol's coastal (gas) power station from Angela, and in Bob Diamond's somewhat curious and expectant gaze, opened the file bag and handed the proposal to the other party.

"This is a proposal for the acquisition of a coastal (gas) power station in Bristol, and if I can, I hope you can be my partner, and I hope we can establish a long-term, strong, mutually beneficial and close relationship. ”

Arthur's tone did not have the slightest feeling of begging for help, let alone looking at other people's faces to act and speak, not beating around the bush, but expressing his meaning directly with sincerity.

"Bristol's coastal (gas) power station?"

Bobo Diamond didn't seem to care about Arthur's tone, in the business world, there is no relationship between who asks for whom, there are interests to be made, and cooperation can be reached naturally, without interests, even if the two are really good friends, Bobo will directly refuse, and will not change because of the other party's begging.

"Bristol's Coastal (Gas) Power Station, with a total area of 28 hectares and a total installed capacity of 2.41 million kilowatts, is eight Class F gas-steam combined cycle generating units, each with a power of 390 MW and a total power plant asset of £400 million.

The annual power generation capacity exceeds 12 billion kilowatt hours, the annual heating capacity is 9.35 million gigajoules, and the annual consumption of natural gas exceeds 2 billion cubic meters, which can reduce nitrogen oxide emissions by nearly 6,360 tons and carbon dioxide by 6.3 million tons per year compared with mainstream coal-fired power plants in China. ”

At this time, Angela on the side smiled and introduced Bob Diamond to Bob Diamond under Arthur's eyes, so that it would be easier for the other party to understand the acquisition plan.

Bobo Diamond raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at the data in the plan, and compared what Angela said, it was exactly the same, so he didn't pay attention to the plan, but frowned slightly, and listened carefully to Angela's explanation of the entire plan.
