Chapter 153
"No, Ann, you don't understand British politics yet. It's very difficult to set up a TV station here, even if we are nobles. Therefore, I can't find a suitable acquisition target"

An Yifei is riding side by side with Christina, this woman is an absolute equestrian lover.

"Then what do you mean, I can only go to other European countries to find a way, right?" His purpose is to cover the TV blind spot in Europe, and it doesn't matter whether he is in the UK or not.

"No, the road is difficult. It doesn't mean that it is impossible to achieve the goal. It's just that we need to recruit a few more allies."

"Okay, Tina, what should I do?" An Yifei's eyes were darkened by the British aristocratic circle, and he could only ask his fiancée for help.

"Hee hee, leave it to me. We will hold a dance this weekend and invite some nobles to come. They are all powerful families. As long as we can convince them, then the problem will not be a big problem. Say, I should What style of clothing, Ann, do you want to bring some oriental colors?"

"...", An Yifei realized at this moment that she had been fooled by this girl. Her purpose was to let more people know that the relationship between the two of them was better. The TV station didn't seem to be such a difficult task.

……

Crewe is a small town in the northwest of England, where Rolls-Royce is produced.The Bentley Motor Factory, which is not very famous nowadays, is located on the edge of the small town.

In the workshop, there are several Rolls-Royce cars that are actually under the Bentley trademark. An Yifei shook his head while watching, "Mr. Muller, how much equity is Bentley controlled by Rolls-Royce?"

"30.00% five, sir, the other shares are scattered in the hands of seven directors." Mu Le is the person in charge of the factory, and he is keenly aware of the "ambition" of the Duke in front of him.

"I think you know the situation of the factory, Muller. If the production continues as it is now, Bentley will go bankrupt or be absorbed by other big factories sooner or later. Because it has no unique characteristics"

"Yes, sir, Bentley needs a wise and capable leader." Muller has already determined that An Yifei wants to buy the brand.

"It seems that I have to go to Rolls-Royce to buy the shares in their hands first, and then deal with other directors"

Mu Le did not answer what An Yifei seemed to be talking to himself, but also seemed to be asking himself, and took a smile and bow as a response.

……

"No, it's impossible." Because of An Yifei's duke status, the actual ruler of Rolls-Royce, Earl Larence, had to meet him.

In the 70s, due to perennial losses, Rolls-Royce was forcibly split into two companies by the British government, "Rolls-Royce", which specializes in the production of automobiles, and "Rolls" Engine Company, which produces both aero engines and automobile engines. .

These things were not very clear to An Yifei in his previous life. He didn't know how awesome Rolls-Royce was until he really understood it, because they even produced the engines of Boeing aircraft.

But this does not prevent him from continuing to negotiate, "Don't rush to refuse, Larence. It's just a car factory that is going to close down, and I'm going to invest a lot of money in it. That's it, 3800 million pounds, you are equal to I lost my burden"

"4500 million, otherwise there is no need to talk about it." Larence took out a high-quality cigar from the box that An Yifei arrived, lit it, took a puff, and squinted his eyes in satisfaction to savor the aroma.

"One person makes one step, 3900 million." An Yifei took a puff of his cigar without haste, and looked at the guy opposite.

"4400 million", "4000 million", "4200 million", "OK, deal"

The rest was for the lawyers and accountants who followed An Yifei. This time he came to Crewe and brought a whole team, including Chang Xiaoyuan who had already arrived in the UK.

The agreement was drawn up very quickly, and the two parties paid the money and delivered the goods.After signing, Larence held the brandy in his hand and held a cup with An Yifei, "An, I heard that even the queen will be present at your wedding with Tina next month, is that true?"

"Yes, Lawrence, this weekend, there will be a party in Tina's manor, and you are invited to attend"

"Wow, a party for pure nobles? I don't remember how many years I haven't attended. It's an honor to receive this invitation. I will go, of course, and my wife"

After hesitating for a while, Larence said: "The other directors of the Bentley factory are actually nearby. I will hold a board meeting in the name of the current chairman. I know that they have actually wanted to sell shares for a long time. Unfortunately, I have no money, unlike you"

An Yifei said with a serious face: "Thank you, Larence. If it can be done like this, I believe that within this month, I can solve the matter of the car factory."

……

It was snowing heavily outside, but An Yifei was only wearing a simple woolen sweater, and sat face to face with Chang Xiaoyuan in the box of the train.Both of them are admiring the beautiful silver-white world outside, which is a beauty that cannot be seen in Hong Kong.

A meeting of the board of directors became An Yifei's takeover meeting. He bought all the shares held by the other seven directors. Only in order to avoid the "Anti-Monopoly Law" did he have to sell 5.00% to Chris Tina, and took out [-]% as management shares to the company's management.

The acquisition team that was taken away was left there, and those were members of the Kristina family. After completing the disposal of all equity, mergers and other matters, it almost entered the Christmas holiday.

"Brother Fei, they are all in various places in Europe. It's a pity that this is a blind spot for satellite phones. Fortunately, the mobile phone network on the ground has gradually dispersed, otherwise it would be really inconvenient to communicate."

After asking Sunglasses to confirm that there were no wiretapping devices inside or outside the car, An Yifei said, "The wedding next month is the best cover, and you have less than a month to investigate the research on the Airbus engine and so on." Where are you?"

"Brother Fei, what are you planning to do?..."

"Xiaoyuan, the main problem with cars is the engine. So we have to be able to make the engine ourselves. Also, my business is like a bigger and bigger ship these days. As the captain, I can't be short-sighted. After the car, we have the possibility We will also manufacture airplanes, so we must first master the technology.”

Chang Xiaoyuan's eyes widened, "Brother Fei, aren't you good enough? When you win the minerals in Australia, you can really do any kind of business."

In the end, she rested her chin on both hands, and looked at the man opposite with admiration, "But, I feel that Pandora's area is too small, if you do something like this, it will cause trouble."

An Yifei smiled "hehe", "After two years, you will understand that there is nothing in this world that money cannot buy. Australia is such a big land. As long as I have money, I can build my own country within a country." , when the time comes to immigrate some technical talents from the mainland, the actual Pandora will become the overlord in the South Pacific.”

"However, as far as I know, Australia's land policy is very troublesome, and various laws are very rigid."

"No problem, it's just the guys from the Australian Consortium operating it. Our ancestors have taught us the art of combining for thousands of years, so it won't be too difficult. This engine intelligence investigation is very difficult for Anxiang. Say, it's a real test, how is Sera's situation?"

"It's great. Her intelligence and physical fitness are top-notch, and she is also extremely adaptable. Many devices will become toys in her hands, and there is no problem."

As the train gets closer and closer to London, the snow is getting bigger and bigger, as if welcoming the coming of Christmas, An Yifei smiled and looked out the window, feeling the abundant water elements, and secretly touched the snow that was worn around his neck Looking at the accessory on the table, I thought: "How do I open that 'door'?"

……

The week before Christmas, the heavy snow that fell for several days finally stopped, and the ice and snow made Christina's family manor look like a palace in a fairy tale.

Looking up at the tall An Yifei lovingly, Christina took half a step towards him.

Both stood outside the hall door to greet the guests.The well-fitting suit supports a tall and stalwart figure, the shiny leather shoes are specially customized, there is no stain on the white shirt, and the dark pattern tie is neatly arranged, all of which make An Yifei have an indescribable quality Gentleman temperament.

Christina is like a blooming rose, she looks even more beautiful in a red aristocratic evening dress, and An Yifei likes her almost replica of Vivien Leigh's appearance, so she takes the initiative to cover it for her Cold evening wind.

"Here comes His Excellency the Marquis of Ferdinand. His family controls more than half of the power of the Television Committee, and he is one of the protagonists tonight."

After Christina finished speaking, An Yifei smiled and shook hands with the guests, "Welcome, I wish you a pleasant night"

……

"Yes, I plan to prepare my own TV network based on the model in the United States. I will start from scratch. To this end, I will invest no less than 3000 million pounds. Of course, this requires the support of everyone here. will be a shareholder in the network"

The party was very successful. Christina, who has been in the aristocratic circle since she was a child, does have a natural advantage in communication, which can save An Yifei a lot of trouble. For example, she is now accompanying a group of ladies and ladies, spending time left to the men.

The Marquis of Ferdinand was a little moved when he heard the words, which meant that An Yifei was sending money to them, "An, I believe you are a generous person, but I want to know, if all three of our families here join How much profit can you get from the TV network you are about to prepare?"

The other two nobles pretended not to care, but listened to An Yifei's answer.

"Everyone, if we can reach an alliance, I will take out 15.00% of the shares of the TV network to share with you. You should know that Christina only has 15.00% of the shares."

This is not because An Yifei is blind and generous. After all, the UK is not his territory, so he still has to pay the protection fee. This will expand his network, not only for TV, but also for other careers in the future.
