The yacht is speeding forward on the sea, and the western sky is a beautiful sunset under the sunset.

The reflection on the sea surface makes the whole sea and sky very beautiful.

There are also many seagulls hovering in the sky, and their quacking calls are particularly harsh.

"Luoxia and lonely birds fly together, and the autumn water grows together in the sky."

By the time the family returned to Deepwater Bay 72 many years later, the sky had completely darkened.

After returning home, he personally handled the grouper for many years.

The six children of Xiaodoubao next to them squatted next to them and watched.

"Dad, you just said on the yacht that our hearts generally have a shelf life of about forty years, lungs are generally about twenty years, bones are about thirty-five years, and teeth and eyes are about forty years."

Xiao Tuanzi looks studious, and his eyes bloom with a strong desire for knowledge:

"Then how can we live to be more than a hundred years old like our grandfather?"

For many years, this question was directly addressed to his master, and the children were asked to ask their grandfather.

Now he's going to deal with the grouper.

I was in a bit of a hurry, so I had to make some relatively simple dishes for many years.

Li Jinlian and the five of them also came to help, and the fifty-pound dragon grouper was quickly cut into several pieces.

The relevant side dishes were also prepared quickly, so the six ways to eat the grouper can be completely done.

As for the special dishes in the Manchu and Han banquets, forget it.

For example, the dish of Kunlun Baofu, this fifty-pound grouper is not qualified.

Because the fish skin in Kunlun Baofu is made of more than 100 catties of grouper skin as raw materials.

After more than an hour of busy work, tonight's dinner is finally finished.

The little boys, who were already screaming with hunger, all rushed over when they heard the word "open dinner".

At this time, where are they still thinking about topics such as longevity and organ longevity, their minds are full of food!

"Eat slowly, there are still a lot of dishes, it's like a starving ghost reincarnated"

Qin Huairu smiled and said with disgust:

"Didn't you eat a lot of afternoon tea in the afternoon, why are you still so hungry?"

"Mom, it's past eight o'clock now, how can you eat so late?"

After many years, he touched Brother Jing'er's head and said to Qin Huairu:

"Okay, okay, let's eat, don't say a few words."

The little children are in the physical stage, and eating more is a good thing, which means that they are healthy.

What's more, in an afternoon, they are either catching up with the sea or listening to lectures, which consumes both physical strength and brain cells.

After all, although the little children are young, they are also seriously thinking about the problem when they were chatting about blackening and longevity on the yacht just now.

For many years, he has been with his master, and almost all of them have instilled some common sense of life and medical knowledge in all aspects of their lives.

Catching up with the sea like today can actually be done often in the future.

It's just that many years later, I will soon have to leave Hong Kong Island to carry out a mission.

In the next few days, many years were spent dealing with the acquisition of toy factories and industrial buildings.

For example, the Hongfa Building in Central is actually an industrial building.

With a total of 35 floors, it is close to the Yichang Building on King's Road.

Yichang Building consists of five extremely dense residential towers, including Harbour View Building, Fuk Cheong Building, Haishan Building, Yip Fat Building and Yick Cheong Building.

Built in 1960, the ground floor is a commercial space and the upper floor is an apartment.

Dense and crowded are the hallmarks of this place.

Because of this, Hongfa Building was established nearby, and it became extremely convenient to recruit workers.

It's just that the asking price of Hongfa Building is very high, and it actually offers 67 million Hong Kong dollars.

At that time, after hearing this offer for many years, I didn't think much about it, and directly asked the other party to get out.

Later, the building investor approached Gascoigne and made a new offer.

Under Gascoigne's mediation, the price has reached more than 52 million.

For many years, he directly said that 50 million was his reserve price, and he would reward him with 30% of the difference in how much money he could negotiate.

If Gascoigne can talk to the other party about the price of 48 million Hong Kong dollars, then the difference of 2 million, 30 percent of which is 600,000 yuan.

For Gascoigne, 600,000 Hong Kong dollars is already a lot.

After all, 600,000 Hong Kong dollars is equivalent to 37,500 pounds.

The negotiations lasted nearly half a month, and on the fourth day of departure for London, many years later, Gascoigne finally took it.

The price is 47 million and 500,000, which is already a very low price.

Nowadays, Hong Kong Island has a sluggish economy, and everyone does not dare to spend money casually to ensure that they have enough cash flow in their hands.

Many years after coming to London, after receiving a telegram from Gascoigne, he replied.

Now that the price has been negotiated, let's buy it.

In any case, an industrial building like Hongfa Building is definitely very valuable.

After checking the telegrams on Hong Kong Island and replying one by one, he sent a telegram to Qin Huairu many years ago to report that he was safe.

Then he continued to work here.

China Resources' business in Europe is actually not a big deal.

It only took him a week to get it done.

Hong Chaosheng and Yang Limin were both sent to the European side, which can be regarded as presiding over the overall situation.

It's just that they are understaffed and have no strength to catch them.

After many years, it didn't take long for the matter to be resolved, which made Hong Chaosheng and the two of them a little unbearable.

It's just that compared with many years of one, it seems that the two of them are very wasteful.

After staying for less than half a month, I drove out for many years.

The castle near Paris has been visited for many years.

Although I only found more than fifty castles among them, there are also seven castles with a large number of antiques and other things.

Back then, the Eight-Nation Alliance, there were a lot of people on the Gallic chicken's side.

And those people brought back a large number of porcelain, silk, gold and silver jewelry, antique treasures and other things from the land of the Qing Dynasty.

In addition to silk, which has not been preserved for long, porcelain and other items have been preserved to the present.

So, for many years, he went to these castles for a walk, and all those antiques and treasures were taken back by him.

The aristocracy of this land in Europe liked to build castles the most.

They also like to keep all the treasures inside the castle.

For many years, it was not known how many castles there were on the entire European continent.

But on the Gallic side, there must be thousands of castles.

On the other side, in the West Berlin area, it is estimated that there are more than 20,000 castles.

This is what I learned many years after coming to Europe and talking to the locals.

It can also be seen from here how much these European aristocrats love castles.

The castle is a lot, but many years and not always staying here.

Therefore, after sweeping for about half a month, there are a total of ten castles with antiques and treasures.

With the passage of time, for many years, seeing that there was nothing wrong with China Resources, he talked to Hong Chaosheng and the two, and then went to London.

Here in London, I met Benedict, the general manager of G Investments, for many years.

"Is there infighting in Rolls-Royce?"

"Boss, you're coming so fast, I thought you'd need three or five days."

Benedict patted the horse's ass, and seeing that his face was expressionless for many years, he immediately stopped talking nonsense.

"Yes, BOSS, just a week ago, two minority shareholders of Rolls-Royce suddenly attacked and demanded an explanation from the major shareholders."

The whole situation is very simple, that is, because of the three-rotor technology RB211 engine project, there is still no improvement.

And the financial situation of Rolls-Royce is very urgent.

Some of the money borrowed from the bank was kept for the company's operations, but most of it was invested in engine projects.

Originally, according to the plan, the approximate research and development work could be completed in a year and a half.

Once the R&D work is completed, the technology can be patented and patented.

At this time, as long as you have the patented technology in hand, whether it is to apply for a bank loan or find an investor to fool, it will become very simple.

It's a pity that the project that fought against the water has now become the fuse that dragged down Rolls-Royce.

The minority shareholders were terrified because they would have nothing to gain if Rolls-Royce went bankrupt.

Not to mention, there are people like Gascoigne, who come to lobby from time to time.

Therefore, these two small shareholders want to know whether the three-rotor project will work?

As a result, after the attack, it was discovered by tabloid reporters and then reported.

By this time, Gascoigne knew that Rolls-Royce was terminally ill.

Last year, Rolls-Royce had a foreign debt of 20 million pounds.

Then he borrowed 35 million pounds from the bank for the research and development of the three-rotor project, and this money has now been lost.

As for the sales of Rolls-Royce cars and Bentley cars, it can only be said that it is so-so.

Automobile revenue is simply not enough to support Rolls-Royce to continue to operate.

The interest on those debts alone can be in the hundreds of thousands of pounds a month.

And whether it's a Bentley or a Rolls-Royce, these are all luxury cars, how can ordinary people afford them?

So, you can sell dozens of units a month, which is already very good.

However, this part of the profit cannot cover the interest of hundreds of thousands of pounds per month.

Basically, the foundation of Rolls-Royce has been completely depleted.

The sinking of the three-rotor project became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Now that the giant of Rolls-Royce is about to fall, many people are already staring at this piece of fat and ready to take a bite at any time.

After many years of listening, when even even commanded:

"You contact Rawls immediately, I need to meet with them as soon as possible to discuss the acquisition"

"Okay, BOSS, I'll arrange it right away."

Gascoigne didn't hesitate and immediately called to make arrangements.

That evening, in a fancy restaurant in central London, many years of old people came here by appointment.

When he arrived, Rawls didn't come alone.

Next to Rawls, there were three white men in suits and leather shoes.

All three of them were wary of each other, and there was hostility in their eyes when they looked at them for many years.

This is obviously to be eaten for many years.

After many years of stunned for a moment, he smiled mildly and said:

"Rawls, I have admired the name for a long time, a few friends from afar, please sit down."

Although the trio were uninvited, it is also possible that Rawls was a petty maneuver.

After all, Rolls-Royce was about to collapse, and the newspapers and banks outside already knew about the situation.

And Rawls must be unwilling to do this, or he must have his own little abacus.

Do you want to sell at a price?

While eating with these people, I thought silently in my heart for many years.

In such a situation, it is impossible to talk about things.

I can only make small talk.

After eating, we will talk about business.

The three competitors are Snecma from Paris, Pratt & Whitney from Maple Leaf Country, and General Electric.

It stands to reason that General Electric is a powerful existence, and it should look down on Rolls-Royce.

In fact, although General Electric has a long history, it only began to enter the field of aero engine manufacturing in 1941.

In other words, GE is strong, but its technical background is still a lot worse.

Rolls-Royce, on the other hand, was the world's largest manufacturer of aero engines during World War I and World War II.

Especially during World War I, half of the world's fighter aircraft used aero engines produced by Rolls-Royce.

Therefore, General Electric, naturally, will not miss such an opportunity.

For many years, I heard that people from large companies were from large companies, but they were not sent by big people.

Not to mention the board members, not even the executives, but the middle managers were sent over.

I guess I sent it over first to see if it was possible to fish in troubled waters.

Thinking of this, many years immediately smiled.

After a short time, when the meal had been finished, Rawls spoke:

"Michael, you didn't call me here just for a meal, did you?"

glanced at the other three, and said with a smile for many years:

"Yes, I just want to have a meal with you, I just want to get to know the major shareholder of Rolls-Royce, after all, your company was too powerful in the past."

Flicker, flicker, flicker.

There are three competitors on the scene, and you can't let the negotiations start right now for many years, right?

He wasn't stupid, how could he let Rawls succeed?

It's just that as soon as he finished speaking, Rawls took the initiative to say:

"That's a shame, but I'm going to talk to Kears, Miller, and Richard about the acquisition, Michael, and I'm missing."

Rawls wanted to handle it for many years, but the latter didn't care at all.

After Rawls and the others left, many years patted their butts and got up and left.

After returning, many years ago he called Gascoigne and asked him to keep an eye on Rolls-Royce.

Gascoigne's face was full of surprise, didn't he say that he wanted to eat with Rawls?

Upon learning of the emergence of competitors from Snecma, Gascoigne quickly apologized.

This is because they did not do a good job of intelligence, which led to such a thing.

I haven't gotten angry for many years, but I just say that this can only happen once, and it can't happen a second time.

Otherwise, don't blame him for the substitution.

The intrigue of business is not far behind politics.

Gascoigne had to watch both the business in London and the acquisition on Hong Kong Island, and it was understandable that he was negligent for many years.

But he is the boss after all, and he has given so much operating funds, and there are such intelligence loopholes, it is really impossible to say.

Two days later, Snekma and other competitors left London.

Rawls was furious and scolded.

Because of the three companies of Snecma, they directly said that they would bid millions of dollars to buy Rolls-Royce.

The reason turned out to be because Rolls-Royce was responsible for 55 million pounds, and they directly contracted this money.

After tossing for a few years, you can only harvest a few million dollars?

Assets have shrunk so much, how could Rawls be willing?

And this is still their family company, and it is impossible to sell it so cheaply.

Rather than be bought out in such humiliation, he would rather let Rolls-Royce go bankrupt.

Soon, Gascoigne received a call from Rawls' secretary, hoping to talk about the acquisition of Rolls-Royce.

For the rest of the day, it was all in the negotiations.

After not showing up for many years, he returned to Paris.

China Resources doesn't have much to do, but he can't leave for a long time.

There are some things that need to be solved by force, and it will be necessary for many years.

Time flies, and it's almost mid-May in a blink of an eye.

At this time of May, it is almost summer in the northern hemisphere.

When May passed, his two-month working time in the first half of this year would be over.

In London, after half a month of negotiations, Rawls had to sign the contract.

Investment Company C will wholly acquire Rolls-Royce for £13 million and will assume the company's debts entirely.

This price, in the eyes of Snecma Company, Pratt & Whitney Maple Leaf State Company and General Electric Company, is definitely a loss.

Rolls-Royce is strong, but it's not worth the price right now.

The total price is more than 68 million pounds, and Rolls-Royce as a whole, in addition to those scientific researchers, is currently worth Rolls-Royce and Bentley cars.

The aero engine project is simply nonsense.

Because the three-rotor technology project has been completely lost.

But for many years, it seemed that this was definitely a big deal.

After receiving Gascoigne's telegram, he quickly returned to London.

After successfully winning the contract, he went to the research institute of Rolls-Royce for many years.

Soon it was announced that the entire research project would be relocated to Hong Kong Island.

"Researchers who are willing to go to Hong Kong Island will have their salaries doubled, food and lodging!"

"And I'm going to re-fund this project separately with £50 million for the research and development of the three-rotor project."

"You don't have to worry about this project going bad, as long as you work hard."

"In addition, I will give 10 million pounds as a reward, 5 million for completing the technology research and development within eight months, an additional 1 million pounds for each month in advance, and once it exceeds eight months, the reward will be reduced by 1 million pounds for each month of delay."

Airplanes!

The entire project team was dumbfounded.
