Tang Huan handed over the asset restructuring opinions he had given to the assistant. Because it involves many companies to digest, only the secretariat directly subordinate to him can take charge of the overall situation and centralize the scheduling and supervision.

"I understand that you have doubts about the profitability of Leigh's online." Tang Huan stared at Michael? Aldrich smiled slightly, "I have obtained the best possible negotiation terms from British Telecom, and the pressure on the cost of Li's online will be reduced a lot." The brand of Li's voice is acceptable, and it is suitable for expanding the new model of online services. This is not to re-burden you, and to take a different line of income and expenditure. ”

At this stage, the exploration of computer Internet services is mainly concentrated in the United States, such as commercial companies such as AOL. It is also worth mentioning that the French MiniTel also falls into this category, although it is led by France Telecom and operates with national resources. This is dictated by the left-wing factional ideology that is currently in power in France.

Although Britain also engaged in welfare state construction after the Second World War, the privatization process began vigorously after Margaret Thatcher came to power in 1979, and will not follow the example of France.

What's more, BBCMicro, a personal computer project launched by the BBC, was defeated without any resistance in the face of similar products represented by Fangyuan personal computers, and even broke out the big scandal of Jimmy Saville's sexual assault of minors, which caused a big public relations crisis and caused Margaret Thatcher to become more and more conservative in her decision to use state resources.

But as far as the United States, near France, are carrying out such attempts to serve the public with the goal of computer applications, the United Kingdom can not be too backward, and the emergence of Li's online is just to adapt to this general trend.

Another positive factor is the privatization of British telecom, which was promoted by the Thatcher government, which in turn brought about competition in the telecommunications industry.

The continuous transformation of the UK telecommunications industry is more representative of the development trend around the world. Unlike the United States, which was handed over to private individuals at the beginning and left to fend for itself, and then gave birth to a commercial supergiant -- the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, which was also subordinate to the postal service at first, and in 1912 the British Royal Mail merged most of the telephone offices of the British local governments, specializing in telephone business, forming a state monopoly.

During this period, Royal Mail operated in the form of a government department, and it was not until the 1960s that it was transformed into a state-owned enterprise and initially liberalized its monopoly.

In 1981, the British telecommunications industry ushered in major changes, according to the "Telecommunications Act" passed by Parliament, the telecommunications business was separated from the British Royal Mail and became an independent state-owned enterprise BritishTelecom - British Telecom is BT, and then the British government sold 50% of the state-owned shares in 1984 to officially start the privatization of British Telecom.

At the same time, the British government liberalized the telecommunications monopoly and brought in competitors for British Telecom, the first being Mercury Communications, which was also established by the privatized Great Eastern Telegraph Company, and new companies such as Vodafone were also established to enter the telecommunications field.

It has to be said that the introduction of a competition mechanism is really good, and this kind of external pressure, coupled with Tang Huan's lobbying from within as an important shareholder, has won the most relaxed environment for the establishment of Li's Online.

You must know that the current stage of the computer Internet still mainly relies on the existing public telephone network, such as AOL, Li's Online, such as the United States, what kind of tariff package can provide customers, also depends entirely on the cost of this piece.

Tang Huan has his own plans for the industries involved in IT - belonging to the traditional scope and actively participating; The emerging range is striving for dominance.

According to this plan, with the help of the brand of Li's voice, the British online service will be localized first, and after a few years, the transatlantic communication optical cable throughput capacity is enough, the Internet prospect is also clear, and the market is up, and then let the American Online and Li's online merge into one.

Seeing that Tang Huan has a comprehensive consideration, it is not a casual decision to pat his head, Michael? Aldrich looked a little embarrassed, "Actually, I am also very confident in the prospects of online services, but the degree of cash burning and profit time of AOL is really prohibitive." ”

Tang Huan smiled very understandingly, "This is indeed a game that burns a bit of money, and it is a great test of self-confidence and patience." ”

Because Michael? Aldrich's heart is not generally yearning for the IT army led by Mr. The richest man, so the acquisition and reorganization of Li's voice, the resistance from human interference is almost negligible, and even with Tang Huan's ears, he still focuses on working with Michael? Aldrich this leader on the communication.

"In order to make more British public aware of this new model of online services as soon as possible, I am going to make Prince Edward of the Royal Family a director of Leigh's Voice to increase awareness."

Michael? Aldrich smiled bitterly: "This little prince won't help more and more messy, I really don't know how to position him in the company." ”

"He's just a young man in his early twenties, and it's easy to grasp." Tang Huan waved his hand and motioned to Michael? Aldrich doesn't have to be mediocre.

After a while, the assistant came over to report, "Boss, Kensington Palace has been contacted, and Prince Charles is here." ”

Tang Huan bowed slightly, to Michael? Aldrich said: "Her Majesty the Queen and members of the royal family, if you are going to visit the East in October, I will help arrange some trivial matters, so you will stay in England for a few more days, and you should not be in too much of a hurry." ”

Michael? Aldrich nodded knowingly, and after he said goodbye and left, Tang Huan set off for Kensington Palace, the residence of the Charles couple in London.

In fact, this royal palace is not only inhabited by the crown prince's family, but also other members of the British royal family, such as Princess Margaret, the sister of Queen Elizabeth II.

……

After being led by the servant to the residence of the Prince of Wales, Tang Huan couldn't help but be stunned, Guy didn't see Charles, only Diana played with his two sons, William and Harry.

"Little Prince, do you remember who I am?" Tang Huan asked William, who is more than four years old this year.

"You're the richest man in the world." William thought for a moment and gave an answer that made people laugh and cry.

Tang Huan shook his head with a smile, and then asked Diana, "What, isn't the prince here?" I just asked my subordinates to call and contact me. ”

After Diana handed over her two sons to the servants to take away, she replied unabashedly: "I ordered it to be answered, and Charles was not here even yesterday." ”

"Is this trying to make trouble?" Tang Huan, who raised his eyebrows slightly, was still unwavering in his heart, he immediately pointed to the delicate small bag on the coffee table, and said with a smile: "Her Royal Highness the princess is remembering the set of jewels I said yesterday, of course I won't forget it, I have brought it by the way, you might as well appreciate it." ”

"It's still Tang who is careful." Diana smiled, then fiddled with the jewels without seeing anything, and finally picked up a diamond necklace and said, "Can you help me put it on?" ”

Tang Huan hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Willing to serve you." ”

Diana is a Yanma with a height of about 1.77 meters, and wearing a necklace is not something that ordinary people can do, even if Tang Huan is careful, he will inevitably go on a blind date and browse the scenery.

"You have such a good eye, I like it very much, as a thank you, how about I arrange dinner?" Diana invited with watery eyes.

However, in front of the richest man who still has a clear mind, this kind of charm is not a hint of the light of the jade body, but the previous glittering golden light and faint holy light.

Due to the deep hype skills of the British media, as the heroine of the luxurious wedding of the century, Diana has always been a world celebrity, and her clothing has become the focus of attention.

The set of jewelry that Tang Huan brought over was one of the many luxury brands he had collected, and it looked like a perfect match for Diana, a super model.

In addition to her obvious commercial value, Diana's role in politics is often overlooked, namely her extraordinary influence on the upbringing of the two infant princes.

Another and most important value of Diana that needs to be tapped is her appeal in public welfare and charity.

In the original time and space, the reason why Diana had a series of extramarital affairs, but was still admired by the mainstream media and loved by most Britons, in addition to successfully portraying herself as a victim of royal rules through the media, the more important reason was her outstanding contribution to charity.

"Helping the weakest and helpless people in this society is my greatest joy, the content of my life, and the arrangement of fate. In any difficulty, as long as you cry out to me, no matter where I am, I will rush to you. ”

Perhaps Diana's own words can tell her motivation for devoting herself to philanthropy.

With the value of Diana's good card in his mind, how could Tang Huan still have ******** thoughts in his heart?

He has been the richest man for many years and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future, so making money is no longer the main goal, using his thoughts and thoughts to act on the whole world is the ultimate pursuit, and harvesting people's hearts inevitably becomes the most important and difficult part.

From this point of view, Diana is quite valuable. Otherwise, Tang Huan wouldn't have bothered here.

Seeing that Tang Huan was just smiling and silent for a long time, Diana asked suspiciously: "What, do you want to tell me that there is no time at night?" ”

Tang Huan smiled slightly and complimented: "I think that after receiving the invitation of the princess, anyone will put aside all the things at hand and happily go to the appointment." ”

Diana laughed happily, "Then what are you hesitating about?" ”

"The princess seems to have encountered some kind of dilemma in her life, so she wants to find a breakthrough in me." Tang Huan nodded pointedly.

"Does it matter?" Diana, who was told the central matter, was a little unhappy, "I'm attractive to you, and you're attractive to me, isn't that enough!" ”

"The paper can't contain the fire, if that's the case, then we are just an ordinary couple among the many lace news men and women in the history of European royal families, and after a night of joy, it still can't help completely solve the hardship in the princess's heart." Tang Huan, who was patient, tried his best to dissuade from the perspective of Diana's interests.

"As long as Charles and I level each other, that's enough." Diana said hatefully.

"Then what do you think of me, the richest man? A doll tool for multiple sex? That's too much to look down on yourself! Tang Huan, who was full of slander, made a sympathetic look and sighed pityingly, "I can understand the grievances in the princess's heart, but although you are from a famous family, you are still very weak in front of the powerful royal family, and they can completely put the responsibility on you and let you bear all the infamy." ”

Diana was silent for a while, then looked at Tang Huan and asked tentatively, "No matter what, as long as you are willing, you, the richest man, have enough strength to protect me, aren't you?" ”

"It's shallow!" After Tang Huan snorted secretly, he leisurely revealed a truth, "The princess is beautiful, but for most men in the world, the biggest attraction is probably the noble status." And in your current situation, as long as you still maintain this aura, you can't resist any measures of the royal family, and I can't do it. ”

Hearing Tang Huan say so unkindly, Diana's face suddenly turned cold, and she said lightly: "In the final analysis, it's not that you're afraid. Cowardly man, you can go. ”

"It's really fast enough to turn your face." Tang Huan was speechless, and after looking at Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales, who was a little annoyed and angry, for a while, he smiled softly, "Could it be that you are willing to be in the situation of a resentful woman in the deep palace, and you don't want to become strong and let the world stand on your side?" ”

"What do I need to do to become strong?" Diana sarcastically asked, "Rich or powerful?" ”

Tang Huan shook his head with a smile and began to point out the direction to the other party, "At this stage, although the princess is a concern in the media and the public, it is just acting according to the traditional rules of the royal family, and finally becoming a high symbol representing the royal family. You need to be completely your own influence, with a new code of conduct, to a more authentic people, to use the resources you can muster to alleviate the suffering there, and to create a completely different kind of philanthropy that is not the superficial and superficial of the royal family, like the power that men fight for. ”

Speaking of this, Tang Huan's hand slowly clenched into a fist in mid-air, and swayed, "When the time comes, someone will listen carefully and truly understand the princess's distress, and you will no longer be lonely and helpless, because many people are on your side, supporting you, and loving you." Becoming an admired 'princess of the people' is not more problematic than a resentful woman in the deep palace who only pursues physical pleasures! What's more, I know that the princess is born with compassion and has the original motivation to devote herself to charity. (To be continued.) )
