"Well, Don, first of all, thank you for your full support of BP Petroleum and helping him through the most difficult times......"

Well?

Hearing Sir Middleton still mention the British BP oil company, Tang Bao's brows furrowed slightly, and he secretly thought, he still can't avoid the "Kuwaiti-style" ending. Tang Bao asked himself, with his own energy, he has no ability to threaten the security of the UK's energy supply, and the other party does not need to worry too much at all.

"Huh, Sir Middleton, I am also a shareholder of BP Oil, and it is right to support the stability of its stock price, and besides, I am very optimistic about the prospects of BP Oil, and I believe that I will get a good return on investment in the future by betting heavily on it."

Tang Bao emphasized that his actions were only business investments, without any other special purpose, in order to make Middleton feel at ease.

"Forehead ......"

Sir Middleton naturally understood what Tang Bao meant, but he did not look happy, but was very surprised.

"Don, I think you may be misunderstanding what I mean. The British government welcomes your investment in BP Petroleum and of course I personally welcome it. Sir Middleton was stunned for a few seconds before smiling and explaining.

"This ......"

Sir Middleton's words surprised Tang Bao very much. Not about the British BP oil company {equity cap?} So what to do with him.

The next moment.

Tang Bao's gaze turned to Kelly who was sitting on the side, and was secretly surprised, could it be that Kelly's energy was strong enough to influence the decision of the British government.

But.

Tang Bao was also happy to see this situation, and said to Middleton with a smile: "Sir Middleton, the UK is full of business opportunities, and I am very optimistic about it. ”

"Yes, Britain is full of business opportunities, and I believe you are in this land. You can get more opportunities to use your talents......"

Forehead?

Tang Bao listened to it, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, how could it feel weird. Thinking so, he didn't interrupt Sir Middleton's words.

Next.

Sir Middleton babbled for more than ten minutes, talking about how good the British business environment was, and almost praised Britain as a flower.

To sum it up in one sentence, the UK has a better business environment than the US, full of business opportunities!

Scold.

Sir Middleton wouldn't really be looking for him to pull investment. Seeing Sir Middleton constantly promoting Britain, Tang Bao thought in surprise.

If that's the case.

It's not impossible to think about it......

Pity.

Sir Middleton's next words completely broke the limits of his imagination. The facts tell Tang Bao. More daring than him, there are many people!

"Don, Phoenix Investment Group is a great investment company, it deserves a bigger stage, and I feel like the City of London is a perfect fit for it. I wonder if you have considered moving the Phoenix Investment Group to London and moving the Phoenix Investment Group to London? ”

Cough.

Tang Bao was taken aback, migration registration? Moving Phoenix Investment Group from New York, USA to London, UK? Nima's, Sir Middleton is digging into the corners of the United States.

"Don, the City of London is a better fit for Phoenix Investment Group. You should think about it carefully. There are lower tax burdens than in the United States, and we can even give you certain tax incentives if you agree to relocate Phoenix Investment Group to the United Kingdom. ”

Sir Middleton earnestly persuaded. And made an unprecedented promise of preferential tax policies to Tang Bao, which was full of sincerity.

Then.

Kelly, who was leisurely sipping coffee, also raised her head and looked at Sir Middleton. It doesn't seem to have expected Middleton to make such a move.

"Don, as long as the Phoenix Investment Group moves to London, and promises not to move out. Within five years, taxes are halved from the normal tax burden. In the second five years, it only needs to rise by 25%, which is equivalent to 75% of the normal tax burden! Sir Middleton further elaborated on the extent of the tax incentives.

didn't wait for Tang Bao to respond.

Sir Middleton then added: "Don, if you are willing to renounce your Chinese citizenship and become a British citizen, then the term of this concession can be extended to ten years. And in addition to enjoying preferential tax policies, the British government will give further support and support, and at that time, Phoenix Investment Group will get a qualitative leap...... and even become one of the most powerful investment groups in the world. ”

"This ......"

I have to admit that the blueprint that Sir Middleton described to him was very seductive. With the support of the UK government, Phoenix Investment Group may grow faster and more smoothly.

But.

Tang Baoke would not be foolish enough to think that the British government would kindly cultivate Phoenix Investment Group without any demands or returns.

Even if he became a British citizen, it would not be possible.

There are too many financial groups in the UK, and there must be more than one or two of them with development potential, and the British government wants to cultivate and support them, so there is no need to keep an eye on them. However, at this time, Sir Middleton behaved very seriously towards him.

In the middle, there must be something he can't figure out......

Besides.

Tang Bao had no idea of changing his nationality at all. This is not the first time that someone has proposed a change of nationality in front of him, but he has never considered it. Perhaps in the future, with the growth of his wealth and the sudden change in the domestic situation, he may change his mind, but at this moment, he has no intention of changing his nationality.

"Sir Middleton, I will not think about a change of nationality." Seeing that Sir Middleton seemed to be interested in continuing to brag about getting so-and-so good if he became a British citizen, Tang Bao couldn't help but shake his head, interrupting the other party's unrealistic fantasy.

There is no need to talk about things at all.

Tang Bao also did not want to listen to Sir Middleton continue to talk about the change of nationality......

"Uh. It's okay if you don't change your nationality, it's entirely up to you. Sir Middleton was slightly stunned, a little surprised by Tang Bao's resoluteness. You know, these days, there are many wealthy people in almost every country who emigrate to avoid taxes...... Tang Bao's refusal is equivalent to taking the initiative to push the endless wealth at his fingertips. With the size of Phoenix Investment Group, the annual tax payment is hundreds of millions of dollars. As long as Tang Bao becomes a British citizen, he can pay hundreds of millions of dollars less in taxes every year, so why not.

But.

To Sir Middleton's surprise, Tang Bao did not hesitate to reject his offer.

"Tang, let's not discuss the issue of nationality for the time being, if you don't change your nationality, as long as you move Phoenix Investment Group to the City of London, you can also get great tax benefits." Sir Middleton also sensed that Tang Bao seemed reluctant to talk about the change of nationality, so he simply said it.

At this time.

Convincing Tang Bao to relocate Phoenix Investment Group to the City of London was his main goal.

"Hoo ......"

Feeling Sir Middleton's eager gaze, Tang Bao's body suddenly increased the pressure, to be honest, he really didn't expect Sir Middleton to make such a proposal. He didn't even think about it......

"Tang, in fact, London's comprehensive strength is no worse than that of New York, and Phoenix Investment Group will get more development opportunities when it moves to London......

"Well, Sir Middleton, this is a very important matter for Phoenix Investment Group, but I have to think about it carefully. If I have a decision, I will definitely let you know......"

Tang Bao said.

At this time.

The City of London has just undergone reforms, and although it has changed a lot, it has attracted financial institutions from all over the world, and it has developed rapidly, but compared with New York, there is still a big gap. What's more, the main business of Phoenix Investment Group is rooted in the United States, and running to the United Kingdom is tantamount to giving up its own nest, destroying its foundation, and starting again.

Besides.

So far, Tang Bao has not figured out why Sir Middleton wants Phoenix Investment Group to move its domicile to the United Kingdom.

So.

Tang Bao politely rejected Sir Middleton's offer.

"Huh?"

Sir Middleton also understood Tang Bao's potential meaning, and couldn't help but persuade anxiously: "Don, you have to understand that London is more suitable for you, here, as long as you abide by the rules of business, there will be no restrictions." Won't discriminate like Americans...... I have heard that your campaign in the United States was rudely vetoed by the U.S. government. Trust me, you definitely won't encounter anything like this in the City of London. ”

Well?

Middleton's words couldn't help but move Tang Bao's heart, and secretly thought, even if he knew that his acquisition last year was vetoed by the U.S. government, it seemed that he had been investigated.

"Sir Middleton, do you mean, can I understand that if I had made a similar acquisition in England, there would have been no political obstacles?" Tang Bao stared at Sir Middleton tightly, waiting for the other party's answer. So far, the only acquisition he has been vetoed in the United States is the acquisition of Medi Investment Services, which is also the area that occupies the supreme voice in the financial industry.

Tang Bao wanted to step in, but he faced many obstacles.

"Similar acquisitions ......" Sir Middleton couldn't help but repeat Tang Bao's words in a low voice, and then remembered Tang Bao's acquisition project that was vetoed by his parents in the United States, and immediately understood what Tang Bao meant. After thinking about it, Sir Middleton hesitated a little, and Tang Bao's question was equivalent to asking whether the British government would allow him to enter the credit rating market. And this part is the core of the financial field......

Therefore, he needs to weigh the pros and cons carefully.

Seeing that Sir Middleton was lost in thought, Tang Bao smiled slightly and did not bother.

Let's be honest.

If he can enter the ratings market from the UK, it would be a great route. Although the vast majority of the rating market is monopolized by the three major rating agencies in the United States, even if he sets up a rating agency in the United Kingdom, it will be difficult to intervene in the American market in a short period of time, but it is better than being isolated.
