Chapter 712: Prince Charles' Dinner

……

Guo Shouyun didn't know many people in the UK. As the protagonist of today's banquet, Prince Charles naturally has no shortage of clinging around him, so Guo Shouyun didn't bother. After grabbing two glasses of champagne from the waiter, he stepped aside.

But now he is not a small person when he first started three or four years ago. As a world-class business tycoon, he recently bought Manchester United, which has fans all over the UK. He doesn't know others, but more and more people know him. And the person who inserts a few Chinese faces in the midst of many white people is eye-catching in itself.

"Hey, Bruce!"

"William?" Turning around and seeing the person walking behind him, Guo Shouyun was surprised, "When you called last time, didn't you say that you were still at St. Andrew's University?"

"Haha, as a friend, of course I want to surprise you!"

"Well, this surprise is really good!"

The two smiled and hugged each other. In addition to the Rowling family, in the United Kingdom, Prince William is his best friend. The two have been in contact on the phone for three years since they met.

"Wang, you are so beautiful today!"

"Thank you!" Wang Jue smiled.

As Guo Shouyun's personal assistant, Prince William is no stranger to her.

"Bruce, did you really buy Manchester United?"

"It looks like you're also a Manchester United fan!" Guo Shouyun nodded and said with a smile.

"Of course, most of the entire British royal family is Manchester United fans. But why did you suddenly think of buying Manchester United?"

"What, are you afraid that I don't understand football and just use it as a money-making machine?"

"Of course not! you have so many companies that are more valuable and profitable than Manchester United!"

Despite saying that, Guo Shouyun still saw a trace of hesitation in his eyes. Clearly, Prince William has concerns in this regard. As a true football fan, no one likes the team they adore to be bought by a businessman. In the past few years, Abu's global wave of gold and yuan football has just begun, and it will take time before it can truly change the entire European football world.

'Willian, I like football more than basketball and I'm a Manchester United fan myself. That's why I bought it!" said Guo Shouyun.

"Really, weren't you a regular on the basketball team when you were in college?"

"Playing basketball is a hobby, and watching football is also a hobby!"

Seeing the smile on his face, Prince William nodded, "Okay, I trust you!" After a pause, "Bruce, Manchester United is my favorite team, don't mess it up." ”

"Don't worry, I also invested nearly 800 million pounds, how can I mess up!"

"Let's go, I'll take you to see Father!"

"I'm already here!" Prince Charles walked over with a wine glass in his hand, smiling. In fact, as the top guest invited to this banquet, Guo Shouyun had already been told by a servant when he first entered Clarence Palace. Originally, he planned to come to see Guo Shouyun again after appeasing the guests who were chatting at the time, but he didn't expect to be preempted by his son.

"Your Royal Highness, it's a great honor to meet you!"

The gifts were already handed over to the royal family administrators who were in charge of registering and receiving gifts when they entered the door, so they didn't need to be taken out here.

"It is also my honor to invite a distinguished guest like Mr. Guo!"

When they met for the first time, they simply shook hands.

"Who is this beautiful lady?" Charles, with sparkling eyes, looked at the beautiful woman next to him.

"Wang Jue, I'm the boss's assistant!"

"I see, Ms. Wang is the most beautiful oriental woman I have ever seen!"

As he spoke, he took Wang Jue's right hand and gave a standard Western kiss salute. This lustful crown prince probably also knew that Guo Shouyun's status was extraordinary, and he did not chase Wang Jue for contact information.

"Since Mr. Guo came to the UK, he has made a lot of moves in the corporate world, especially the acquisition of Rover Motors, which is even more surprising!"

"Surprised, I'm afraid that there are more people waiting to see my jokes!" Guo Shouyun said indifferently.

Mr. Guo laughed. Who doesn't know that Mr. Guo has been brilliant since he entered the business world five years ago and founded LinkedIn, especially when he acquired Enron, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, and restructured into the world's largest public utility company today. It is believed that with the acquisition of Rover Motors, Mr. Guo will also create the story of Enron back then. And I've seen the BBC news, the development of 12 new models, it's really bold, except for Mr. Guo, I am afraid that there is no second person in the world who dares to step into the automotive industry so generously. ”

"Your Highness's words are truly unbelievable, but I will do my best to bring Rover back to life and become the flagship of the British automotive industry!"

"I think we should toast to this exciting goal!" Charles nodded, holding his glass.

"Of course!"

With the crisp sound of glass clashing, the two, including Wang Jue and Prince William, each took a sip of champagne in the glass.

Charles looked at the time, "Mr. Guo, I'm going to miss me for the time being!"

"Your Highness, please take care of yourself. ”

"William, Mr. Guo is our honored guest, you must take care of it!"

"Yes, Father!"

Charles nodded, turned around and walked to the inside of the hall, took a black microphone from his butler, stood on the steps and said: "Everyone, I am Charles, and I am very glad that you can accept the invitation to attend the dinner at Clarence House tonight. Mr. Guo, Dr. Pierre Langgorton, Chairman of the Governing Board of the Swiss National Bank, and Mr. Alto Graf Lambsdorf, economist!"

After Charles introduced six or seven, probably the highest-ranking guests at the banquet, "... Thank you very much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to visit Clarence Palace and we hope you all enjoyed your evening. ”

Accompanied by not-so-loud applause, the band next to it played a pleasant waltz. Looking at the men and women who walked onto the dance floor in twos and threes, Wang Jue's eyes showed longing.

"Boss, let's go dance too!"

"William...!"

"It's okay, I'm going to find a dance partner too!" Prince William waved his hand.

"Then we'll talk later!"

“OK！”

After saying goodbye, Wang Jue had already taken his hand and put it on his waist. Half hugged Wang Jue's slender and soft willow waist, and met her bright and deep eyes, "Don't you usually like to dance this kind of ballroom dance?"

"Usually there is no boss for you, of course I don't like it. ”

"Why do you have to be here!"

"You're not knowingly asking?"

Her fiery eyes made Guo Shouyun, a veteran of the love field, a little unbearable.

"Follow me and I'm doomed to no result, you know!"

"Of course I do. But are you willing to hand me over to other men?" Wang Jue deliberately moved forward, so that the bodies of the two could be tighter.

This is the most contradictory question in Guo Shouyun's heart. As a married man, reason tells him that he should not mess with flowers and grass, and should take on his responsibilities as a husband. But in fact, when he met Wang Jue and Wu Xiaojing, who not only had extraordinary wisdom, but also had the appearance of a captivating city, he was embraced by ~ hope, and it was difficult for him to hold himself.

It has to be said that power and money are amplifiers of the human heart. In a high probability, in a society that is drunk and obsessed, successful men rarely end up in the same way.

"Actually, it wasn't long after I became your secretary that I knew I couldn't live without it anymore. I know so many secrets of you, you have appreciated the top power in the world, and you have seen the best men in the world, how can you accept an ordinary man and live an ordinary life of washing your hands and making soup?... And compared to Qiu Yanyun and the Ji family sisters, Xiaojing and I, whether it is our appearance or appearance, are we no worse than them, right?"

Looking at the watery eyes of Yiren in his arms, Guo Shouyun sighed in his heart. But just as he was about to say something, the song was over.

Let go of Wang Jue's waist, "Let's go back and talk about this matter!"

Wang Jue nodded a little unwillingly.

The two of them found an empty seat next to them and sat down. But the one who came to the door earlier than Prince William was an old man in a black suit, middle-aged but very well maintained.

"Mr. Neff?"

"I didn't expect Mr. Guo to recognize me!"

The visitor smiled and stretched out his right hand.

Guo Shouyun got up and shook the other party's right hand, "Of course, Thomas Neff, chairman and CEO of Scottish Power, is a heavyweight in the British public utilities sector!"

Thomas Neff smiled at the compliment, "Can I sit down?"

"Of course, please!"

There were four stools around the square table, and Guo Shouyun and Wang Jue took up two. Thomas Neff sat down next to him.

"With Mr. Guo's wisdom, you must be able to guess what I mean. ”

"The 22.4% stake in Scottish Power that I bought from Phoenix International?"

"That's right! We want to know Mr. Guo's real purpose! Investment or acquisition?"

Guo Shouyun smiled and said, "What do you think?"

"Acquisition!" confirmed Thomas Neff.

With Pacific Energy, the world's largest energy and utilities company, no one thinks that Guo Shouyun's acquisition of Scottish Power is just an investment.

"Now that you understand, what is the opinion of Scottish Power's management and board of directors on my acquisition?"

"Mr. Guo, as long as it is a reasonable price, I personally have no objection to Mr. Guo's acquisition of Scottish Power!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Guo Shouyun's eyes. Although there is no absolute non-sale item in this world, as long as the price is right, everything can be negotiated. But Thomas Neff also agreed too happily.
