Chapter 779: Someone Sends a Pillow When You Fall Asleep
It is said that the fortress of the revolution is always breached from within, and this is true.
Although Guanghui Automobile successfully acquired Jaguar Land Rover, if the current board of directors is very uncooperative, Jiang Hui will really need to take a lot of trouble to control the company.
But now with Kenny as an executive, things are much simpler.
Pull a batch, hit a batch, just enough to use.
"So, you can contact Kenny, I want to meet him first when I get to the UK, and then go to the company," Jiang Hui said to Yang Yan.
……
The British Empire has dominated the world for hundreds of years, and the background is still very deep.
The former British Empire, consisting of its territories, dominions, colonies, trust states and other areas administered by the British, is regarded by the international community and historians as the largest colonial empire in the history of the world, with an area of about 34 million square kilometers.
It is generally believed that the Glorious Revolution in 1688 overthrew feudal rule, and in 1689 promulgated the "Bill of Rights" in the form of law to clearly restrict the royal power, established the bourgeoisie ruling the constitutional monarchy, the establishment of the capitalist system for Britain to provide unprecedented productive forces, so that its economy, military strength, science and technology, culture rapid development, marking the rise of Britain.
The seizure of all of Canada from France at the end of the Seven Years' War in 1763 marked Britain's undisputed maritime power, and after defeating Napoleon's First French Empire in 1815, Britain became the world's leading power and dominated international affairs for a century.
As the most powerful empire in the world, the British Empire was irreconcilable with the emerging Second German Reich, and in 1914 Britain entered the First World War.
In 1922, after the end of World War I, it reached its largest territory with the seizure of German colonies at the Paris Peace Conference, covering a quarter of the earth's land and a quarter of its population, making it the most extensive country in the history of the world.
Because the territory and dependencies of the empire covered seven continents and four oceans, including Antarctica, and there was a saying that "the sun never sets in Britain", it was described as the second "empire on which the sun never sets" after the Spanish Empire.
By the mid-20th century, and especially after the end of World War II, the British Empire was gradually disintegrating with the rise of global nationalist movements and the decline of Britain's national power.
Corresponding to this was the complete rise of the United States and the USSR, in particular, the United States, who had the last laugh.
Britain, which was once the world's leader for hundreds of years, has now declined, but its infrastructure is still very good, and the living standards of most of its citizens are relatively high.
When Jiang Hui and his entourage landed slowly in London on an Air China plane, it was evening.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines on this classical city, reminiscent of hundreds of years ago.
By the time Jiang Hui got off the plane, the sun's rays became more and more charming, and even though they were partially obscured, they were still refracted from the clouds, adding more golden-red light.
"I didn't expect London to look pretty yet", walking out of the airport, Yang Yan and several executives of the European branch of Guanghui Group were waiting for Jiang Hui and his party.
"That is, the capital of the old capitalist power, must have its own characteristics. You just looked down from the plane, and if you go around the old town, you will feel more beautiful," Yang Yan said with a smile.
Yang Yan, 23 years old this year, is more capable and confident than the average college student who has just graduated, and has more youthful atmosphere than other thirty or forty-year-old workplace maidens, which can be described as the most charming stage of life.
Although it is winter, she still shows off her slender figure in a slim-fitting beige Gucci new long trench coat!
The already slender eyelashes have been treated simply to make them look more refined.
The two small dimples that are exposed when you laugh make people's hearts pound.
The big watery eyes stared at Jiang Hui, and anyone could see that this look was not like that of a subordinate looking at a superior.
After Liao Yun and Zeng Qingying saw this scene, they looked at each other very tacitly and smiled at each other.
I don't know what the two of them are thinking in their hearts.
"Let's go, let's go have dinner first and try British food", the group walked to the pick-up vehicle arranged by Yang Yan.
"Then you may be disappointed, British food is similar to American food, basically salads, fries, fried chicken, burgers, steaks and the like, I guess it is difficult for you to get into your eyes," Yang Yan said.
"It's okay to try it, even if it's a delicacy of the mountains and seas, you will get tired of eating too much."
Jiang Hui's words were originally a very ordinary sentence, but in the ears of those who have a heart, they seem to hear something different.
As the old saying goes, a wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as stealing, and stealing is not as good as stealing.
Could Jiang Hui also be tired of "eating" by his girlfriend at home and want to try it?
There must be countless people willing to send it to their doorstep for tasting, right?
I don't know if it's a coincidence or if the European branch of the Korn Ferry Group has taken temporary countermeasures, and the five cars that came to pick up the airport today are all Jaguar.
It seems that the saying that if something is good at the top, it will be very good at the bottom, and it is suitable wherever it is placed.
Jiang Hui's hotel is located on the outskirts of London, next to the River Thames.
London has been a transport hub and an important city for almost 2,000 years.
London's earliest origins are not exactly recorded in history. Many people believe that London was founded by the Romans.
However, archaeological research has shown that before the arrival of the Romans, there were traces of human activities such as farming, living, and burying the dead in London.
The River Thames runs through London, dividing the city into two parts, north and south.
When Jiang Hui and the others arrived at the hotel, night had fallen, and standing on the balcony of the hotel room, they could see the Thames River flowing slowly, and under the illumination of the lights, there was a different feeling.
Although there is no greenery in the surrounding meadow, it has a unique taste with the ancient trees on both sides of the river.
"This hotel is good, it's really hard to find this similar one in China," Jiang Hui said to Yang Yan who was standing next to him.
I don't know if it's intentional, Yang Yan's room is arranged next door to Jiang Hui, and she, who has already checked in early, is now accompanying Jiang Hui throughout the whole process.
"Even in the UK, there are not many such hotels, not to mention that most of the five-star hotels in China have been established in recent years, and the background cannot be compared with others," Yang Yan said.
Hearing Yang Yan say this, Jiang Hui felt that he could consider letting Qunar enter the domestic hotel industry.
2008 will be the trough of the land and property market, this time to enter the hotel industry, it can be said that it is the most suitable time.
"Liao Yun, you record it, go back and remind Guan Weidong, let him see if there is a suitable hotel to buy one back," Jiang Hui said.
There is no problem with the hardware of the hotel in China, and it is best to have someone with it in terms of soft power, otherwise the five-star will not be worthy of the name.
