Chapter 139: I owe you a favor

“……”

Sir Middleton fell silent, and Tang Bao's statement that he would build a second Phoenix Investment Group in the City of London was indeed beyond his expectations.

Soon.

Sir Middleton calmed down and said calmly, "Don, you must know that miracles do not happen all the time. It is understandable to give Phoenix Investment Group certain preferential tax policies. However, if it is a newly established enterprise, I am afraid that it will not be able to enjoy these preferential policies. There are so many new businesses in the City of London that I can't offer tax incentives to your company alone. ”

"Well, Sir Middleton, you mean that unless the Phoenix Investment Group is relocated, even if I build a new company, it will not be possible to have this kind of treatment."

"Hmm. That's pretty much it. Tang, the preferential tax policy is set specifically for Phoenix Investment Group, and it is impossible to transfer it to other enterprises. ”

Sir Middleton emphasised again.

"What about the new company becoming the second Phoenix Investment Group after that?" Tang Bao didn't say his opinion, just asked lightly.

"Don. Unfortunately, although you have a lot of confidence in yourself, it doesn't convince me. Maybe you'll succeed, but that's a long time later, and I'm probably not the UK's finance minister anymore, so I can't give you a definite answer at this point. ”

"It won't be long, it's just two years. It took me two years to build the Phoenix Investment Group of today's scale, and I will take another two years to replicate a ......," Tang Bao said confidently. In all fairness, the 10-year tax incentive offered by the British government was very attractive to him, and he did not want to miss out on it in vain.

Therefore.

Tang Bao wants to fight for it in his own way and seize this rare opportunity. Of course, it is also an opportunity to open up the market. Just yesterday he was discussing the possibility of entering the European market with Horst, who concluded that it was too early and difficult......

Now Sir Middleton has given him a chance to jump over all kinds of obstacles.

"Two years?!"

Sir Middleton exclaimed in surprise. No way. Tang Bao's promise is really a bit appalling.

"Yes, in two years." Tang Bao confirmed again.

"Although I am very sorry that Phoenix Investment Group was unable to relocate to the City of London. However, Don, if you can build a new Phoenix Investment Group in London in two years' time, then you are a financial genius in the truest sense of the word. At that time, I thought that the 'opportunities' that the UK government had prepared for Phoenix Investment Group would be transferred to the new company. Sir Middleton laughed.

But.

Sir Middleton's voice changed and added, "Of course, your new company will not be able to enjoy these tax incentives until then. It will bear the same tax burden as its City of London counterparts. ”

"Okay, no problem."

Tang Bao had no objection to this.

In fact.

Tang Bao's heart was already laughing, even if Sir Middleton did not agree to his preferential tax conditions, he would have entered the British financial market a long time ago. The difference is simply to set up a branch under the Phoenix Investment Group or to form a new company.

"What about the credit rating market?"

At this time, Tang Bao set his sights on the British credit rating market, and to be honest, the development of credit ratings in the United Kingdom is certainly not as good as that of the United States.

Pity.

The Yankees are keeping an eye on this piece too closely. Strictly guarded Tang Bao, and didn't give him even the slightest chance at all.

Helpless.

Tang Bao can only retreat to the next best thing, first develop steadily in the UK, and lay a solid foundation. Waiting for new opportunities to challenge the three major rating agencies of Moody's, Standard & Poor's and Fitch.

"Well, Don, as long as you can follow the rules of business. I don't think anyone would have any ill will towards you going in. The business environment in the UK is very open...... "Sir Middleton did not embarrass Tang Bao on this point, one is that the UK does not have too many restrictions on ratings, and the attitude of Kelly sitting on the side should also be considered.

Promised by Sir Middleton.

Tang Bao couldn't help but be ecstatic in his heart. I didn't expect that the rating market, which had nowhere to start, would make a breakthrough in the UK.

Next.

Tang Bao and Sir Middleton discussed some detailed issues, and both sides put forward some requirements and conditions.

More than half an hour later.

"Don, I'm looking forward to you doing another miracle......" Sir Middleton laughed. The main content of his discussion with Tang Bao almost always has a premise, that is, Tang Bao needs to build the new company he created in the City of London into a company comparable to the Phoenix Investment Group in two years.

"Hehe, I won't let you down. Sir Middleton, I'm sure you'll be glad you've made today! Tang Bao said with a smile.

……

The matter is over.

Sir Middleton immediately threw down Tang Bao, turned to Kelly, and asked very respectfully, "Miss Kelly, is there anything else I can serve?" ”

“……”

Looking at the servile Middleton, Tang Bao sighed secretly, this guy is hopeless.

"I'm just passing by, nothing to do with you." Kelly responded lightly, then stood up and pulled Tang Baodao.

"Let's go......"

Belch.

Tang Bao hurriedly dropped a sentence, "Sir Middleton, we're leaving!" ”

"No need to send it."

Sir Middleton was about to come out with him, but suddenly he heard Kelly's words, and took a step and quickly took it back and put it back in his place.

At this time.

The banquet is coming to an end, but the British and Japanese entrepreneurs are still communicating closely, and they seem to cherish this opportunity very much.

"Anything else?"

Tang Bao returned to the banquet hall and looked left and right, and Kelly couldn't help asking.

"Nope."

Tang Bao shook his head, he came to the banquet at the invitation of Sir Middleton to meet with the other party, and now that the Lord has met, the things that should be discussed have been negotiated.

"Then let's go." Kelly laughed.

"Huh? Let's go together? Tang Bao asked in surprise.

"That's right."

Kelly replied without hesitation, and then added, "Don, come with me, and you'll save you a lot of trouble." Like just meeting Middleton......"

That's right.

Kelly didn't mention that Middleton was okay, and as soon as she said this, Tang Bao felt a little itchy in his heart. "Kelly, Sir Middleton seems to be afraid of you."

"Afraid? Probably. Kelly's face was filled with a smile, but she didn't deny it.

After speaking.

And there was silence.

Seeing this, Tang Bao immediately understood that Kelly was not willing to explain it carefully, and he did not continue to ask questions with interest. It's a vain question to ask!

Thereupon.

Tang Bao decisively changed the topic and said, "It seems that we don't go the same way, let's go back together, and we don't need it." Although he negotiated with Sir Middleton today, Kelly's "platform" helped a lot and saved him a lot of trouble. But Tang Bao still subconsciously didn't want to talk too deeply with Kelly.

He always felt ......

Kelly has some purposes for him, but it's not so simple.

"The Savoy hotel bar. As it happens, I live there too! Kelly said the name of the hotel where Tang Bao lived, and did not give Tang Bao a chance to continue to refute.

“……”

on this.

Tang Bao was very helpless, and he couldn't hide if he wanted to. He wasn't at all surprised that Kelly would know about the hotel he was staying in. For someone with terrifying energy like her, it is not easy to know this little thing.

Come to the parking lot.

"Go inside, my car is still in the depths......" Kelly motioned for Tang Bao to continue walking, a few minutes later. Finally found Kelly's car.

Hey?

Sitting in Kylie's car, there was a lot of space and it was very comfortable to sit in. However, Tang Bao soon noticed that there was something different about this car.

It seems that he has never seen this model before.

"Purpose-built vehicles. There are only two in the world! One in the U.S. and one in the U.K., but it's all mine. Kelly seems to be very fond of her car.

"Oh."

Tang Bao nodded lightly, an existence like Kelly. It is very common to customize a few cars.

……

It's late at night, and the lights are on. The entire neighborhood of London is lit up with lights. The luxurious night view made Tang Bao sitting in the car a little intoxicated.

"Huh? This doesn't seem to be the way back to the hotel......" Suddenly, Tang Bao noticed that something was wrong, frowned slightly, and said.

The car, driving out of the direction, seemed to be moving away from the city center and rushing towards the suburbs.

Moment.

Tang Bao's body tensed suddenly, ready to catch Kelly at any time.

"It's still early, I'll take you for a ride, giggle......" Kelly giggled, and the car sped off, not seeming to notice Tang Bao's wariness of her.

Outside the window, a blurry scene sped backwards.

Tang Bao glanced at the speedometer, and there were more than one hundred and sixty. Nima, this chick is crazy enough.

Soon.

The car drove into the suburbs, and the night was dark and there was no one around. Kelly slowly slowed down until she came to a complete stop.

"Kelly, what are you bringing me here for?" Tang Bao frowned.

"Giggles, what are you afraid of, can I still eat you?" Kelly laughed as she lowered the window a little to reveal a slit.

Well?

At this time, the sound of a car motor in the distance came into Tang Bao's ears...... There are still people nearby!

Suddenly.

Bang, bang, bang!

A dense and piercing sound sounded, for this kind of sound, Tang Bao was very familiar with it, it was the sound of gunfire......

Tens of seconds later.

The gunfire stopped, and the night was quiet again.

"The night is over, it's not too early, go back to the hotel!" As if nothing had happened, Kelly started the car again and raced towards the city center.

……

Sitting in the car, there was silence for a long time.

Tang Bao opened his mouth and said, "Those people are coming at me?" "Think about Kelly tonight, I'm going to go back to the hotel with him, and I'm taking him for a ride in the suburbs.

There is only one goal, which is to take out the enemy in the shadows. And these black hands who want to attack him are likely to be the subordinates of Simocco that Kelly said.

"Don, you owe me a favor!" Kelly looked at Tang Bao and said. "I didn't expect you to be quite calm, well, much better than I expected."

"Good. Count me in debt to you. ”

Tang Bao replied seriously, for the first time he let down his guard against Kelly. (To be continued......)
