Chapter 724 The Parent Company Can't Keep It
The person who dared to harass the richest man so boldly in public was none other than Charles, the princess who was 13 years younger than him. I don’t know when the other party came over and listened with great interest to the two men discussing how to recognize horses, train them horse topic.
"You're not my little pony, are you interested in flirting with me? Besides, at this time, you shouldn't be looking for your bodyguard to take revenge on your increasingly indifferent husband. Why are you targeting me!" Don't mention how confused, funny, and depressed Tang Huan felt.
In fact, rumors that the celebrity couple who already had two sons had a quarrel had long been exposed by the British tabloids, but the face-saving British royal family tried their best to cover it up.
In fact, Tang Huan understood Charles quite well. This diamond queen is profound in terms of knowledge, experience, etc. In comparison, Diana inevitably looks "shallow", more like a naive, romantic, innocent little girl who is a bit willful. The prince's standards for choosing a woman are naturally different. After completing the obligation to carry on the family line, he inevitably loses patience with his little wife and thinks of the benefits of an old lover_people who know and know.
On the other hand, Her Royal Highness Princess of Wales, who has just passed her 25th birthday, has an immature way of handling conflicts. In front of her husband, she provocatively made small moves under the table to tease the richest man, which shows how extreme she is. , Tang Huan was really afraid.
"Her Royal Highness is getting more and more beautiful. I remember that there is a set of jewelry that is very suitable for you. I will send it to you in another day for you to appreciate." Tang Huan, who had to respond, showed the self-cultivation of an actor, and gently Staring at each other, he complimented frankly.
Diana put away the teasing in her eyes, and lazily replied: "It's not appropriate."
"As long as the gift matches Her Royal Highness, it is suitable!" Tang Huan smiled slightly.
Charles and Tang Huanzheng were happily chatting, but his wife interrupted him, and a look of displeasure flashed across his face.
He coughed lightly, brought the topic back and said: "The racehorse breed bred by Nelson Hunter is indeed very good, and has won dozens of championships in various races in the Americas and Europe, including the Yessen Derby in the UK. What, is he giving up his ranch?"
"Yeah, didn't Nelson Hunter stumble in silver futures, and now basically he has no choice but to declare bankruptcy. How can he take care of this hobby, so he wants to sell more than 500 racehorses in his ranch .” Tang Huan nodded.
"Has the price been finalized?" Charles asked repeatedly with his eyes shining.
"About 45 million US dollars." Tang Huan's tone was full of dissatisfaction, "I originally planned to buy this part of the assets as a whole, but Nelson Hunter seems to be really tight on money, and he is desperate on the price He refused to let go, and even worried that I would not be able to take care of those racehorses. Is he confused, maybe I will buy a pile of horse meat with tens of millions of dollars and come back to eat it.”
Diana listened amusedly and couldn't help chuckling.
Charles said eagerly, "You have to understand that the horse breeder not only invested money, but also invested emotion. If it wasn't for the last step, I believe Nelson Hunter would not be willing to sell the horse and the pasture. Besides, you Financial resources, why bother to care about the price difference of several million dollars in the middle! You should spend at least 100 million dollars this time to go to the Soviet Union."
Tang Huan smiled noncommittally, "His Royal Highness is right, but I didn't consider the special value contained in it. Since the horse racing is excellent, I will let someone finalize this matter. At that time, please ask Your Highness Go give some pointers."
"Then it's settled." Charles said eagerly, "Tomorrow I will show you the performance of the ten horses you sent over on the field."
At this time, Charles' entourage came over and whispered something, Charles nodded, then stood up and said: "Don, I'm in a hurry, let Andrew and Edward accompany you. You are welcome here."
Diana frowned and asked, "Who is looking for you?"
"I have something to do,
You don't have to wait for me. "Charles, who was impatient, left a sentence without answering the question, then turned and left.
Diana, who had hit a wall, suddenly turned cold.
Seeing this scene, Tang Huan couldn't help shaking his head secretly: "You really don't treat me as an outsider, and when you have conflicts, you don't hide it at all."
Queen Elizabeth II and the others left early after showing up ceremonially, otherwise the atmosphere would not have been so relaxed.
Seeing that Charles, the temporary host who was appointed to entertain him, had left, Tang Huan didn't want to stay too long. He got up and went to the entertainment room, and found Andrew and Edward who were playing the Xiaobawang game console.
The two brothers were both born in the 1960s. At that time, Queen Elizabeth II had been the queen for many years. They were not as busy as traveling around the world after their debut as Dabao, and they were able to take time to take care of their children, especially the youngest Edward. more maternal love.
It may be because of this that he was spoiled. Edward, who is 22 years old this year, performed significantly worse than Andrew, who was 4 years older than him. The latter was able to participate in the Battle of the Falklands with the Royal Navy, while the former was squeamish I just joined the Royal Navy this year, so I couldn't stand the hard training there, and clamored to retire early so that I could follow my interest into acting in the entertainment industry.
In Tang Huan's view, Edward, who doesn't like being bound by royal rules, is actually a little playboy who enjoys royal glory and special treatment, but is unwilling to fulfill his obligations. However, such "talents" still have special uses in the eyes of the richest man.
After playing a game of "ia86", Edward excitedly said to Tang Huan: "The games produced by EA are becoming more and more interesting."
"As long as His Royal Highness likes it." Tang Huan smiled slightly, "I won't bother you any more, so I'll take my leave."
Upon hearing this, Anglo and Edward quickly put down the handles and got up to see them off.
While walking out, Tang Huan tentatively asked Edward, "I heard that after graduating from Cambridge University, the prince is not very satisfied with his career plan."
"I don't like those rigid jobs in the royal family. I want to perform, but unfortunately I can't get support." After Edward answered boldly, he joked: "Don, I almost forgot that you are still a Hollywood tycoon, introduce me to this Work in the field. By the way, I heard that the movie "007" is looking for an actor to play James Bond, how about I try it?"
Speaking of this, I felt that Edward, who was too whimsical and interesting, burst out laughing.
However, Tang Huan still responded solemnly, "The prince is too young, and the gap with James Bond is too great."
"I just said it casually, but you take it seriously." Edward hurriedly pulled back the words so as not to miss the steps.
"Perhaps, I can provide the prince with a job that is fresh and highly acceptable," Tang Huan said, "I am reorganizing Li's Voice, which is in a state of serious losses, and plan to let it pass through British Telecom's The Internet, which provides online services for money. Why don’t Prince come and serve as a director, and give full play to his talents in creativity, promotion, public relations, etc.”
"Thank you Tang for your kindness, but... I think I need to think about it and maybe ask other people for their opinions." Edward replied reservedly, but there was still a look of eagerness in his eyes.
"What are you thinking about? Do you have anything else to do right now?" Andrew sneered.
Now we can talk about Edward’s pain. Among the four children of Queen Elizabeth II, he is the youngest who receives the most love from his parents. His academic performance is average so that he entered Cambridge University amid doubts. Now he has only survived for half a year in the British Marine Corps. I can't stand the surprise course there, and I will inevitably make fun of my brothers.
Edward, who was a little bit annoyed, glared at Andrew with dissatisfaction, "Don't think that you can look down on me just because you have been on the battlefield."
Seeing that the two brothers were about to fight, Tang Huan hurriedly waved his hands, said "I will contact the prince about this matter in two days", and got in the car to leave.
...
A few days later, Tang Huangang was going to find Charles, and Michael Aldridge, the CEO of Lide Yingsheng, stopped at the door to report the acquisition and reorganization.
Since its establishment in the 1920s, Li's Yingsheng has expanded its business in various British colonies and accumulated a fairly good family business.
However, with the series of colonial independence movements after the end of World War II, this operational advantage was greatly weakened. The disadvantages of investing in what you get, miscellaneous but not refined, became more and more obvious. Many of the following industries resisted Despite the local competition, the strength of TVB and Li TV in Xiangjiang reflects this situation.
In the 1980s, represented by the failure of investing in a Canadian dry cleaning chain store, which led to the shrinking of its Asian business and the sale of Li's TV shares, Li Yingsheng's decline was irretrievable. It was thanks to Michael O. The b2b e-commerce that Aldridge focuses on can bring relatively stable income with the help of Tang Huan's technology platform.
Michael Aldridge was powerless to reverse the dying of Li's voice. He became the CEO of Li's voice in 1980, but he had to sell the shares of Li's TV to Tang Huan to improve the entire group. financial situation.
In the end, Michael Aldridge simply came up with an ultimate plan, that is, transform Li's voice into an IT company; as for other businesses that cannot be maintained, they should be disposed of; those who do not want to continue investing can directly withdraw their shares, anyway, Tang Huan The buyer won't care about that share.
As a result, the former board of directors of Li's Husheng, who had no hope, accepted this proposal after two rounds of brief discussions, making Li's Husheng, which has a history of more than 60 years, completely commit itself to Mr. Richest Man.
Tang Huan's willingness to accept Li's call for this mess is also because he values its e-commerce department.
In the British computer science circle, Michael Aldridge was quite famous, and then became an IT consultant of the Thatcher government. Under Tang Huan's guidance, he led the e-commerce department of Li's Voice, and won many famous customers, such as British Railways, Ford Europe, etc., and even the Ministry of Gas Industry of the Soviet Union, which is a few years later in the original time and space Gazprom also came here admiringly, but due to political reasons, the two sides can only stumble forward on the road to implementation.
The reason why Michael Aldridge was so active was that other things could be carried out in a leisurely and orderly manner. Keri called for those tasteless and wasteful assets to be disposed of quickly. The big boss, Tang Huan, had to intervene in person.
In addition, when Michael Aldridge learned that Tang Huan was going to move AOL's online service model to the UK and set up a Lidi Online, he knew that AOL was losing money, so he couldn't help feeling a little stressed about how to deal with a bunch of them. Baggage, but another new burden?
The richest man's golden pen is slowly moving across the document, and every circle and arrow may mean that some people will be laid off in this acquisition and reorganization.
Tang Huan already knew how to deal with Li's voice. One of the big principles was to digest it internally as much as possible. If he couldn't digest it, he would sell it or shut it down altogether.
Although Li's Voice has sold Li's TV in Hong Kong, it still maintains the cable station "Li's Voice" in Singapore, Malaysia, Barbados and other British colonies in the Caribbean, as well as Thailand.
Tang Huan transferred this part of the assets to Media Asia TV, trying to develop into a media organization with a wider coverage. If the Asian radio station can form a sufficiently influential Chinese music playback alliance with Yinyue Channel and Xiangjiang Traffic Broadcasting, then better.
Similar to the video and audio coding standard mpeg used in Tang Huan's version of vd, the audio coding standard mp2 oriented to the field of radio and television, Li's voice also has some achievements in radio broadcasting technology, so it was transferred to Zheru and brought over at the same time There are also technical achievements related to the cabin simulator.
That's right, Li's Voice has also involved the field of cabin simulators, which shows how extensive its business scope is.
However, compared to the half-baked level of other diversified fields, Li's voice has achieved little success in the cabin simulator. , using the method of greatly expanding the curved mirror in the horizontal direction, so that a group of pilots can see the simulated image through an integrated display screen.
This achievement is very meaningful on a fundamental level, and it is difficult for even philosophers to bypass it. It just happens to take over and digest it now.
It has to be said that Li's voice is also quite tragic. After selling Li's TV to Tang Huan, now even the parent company can't keep it, and it was directly dismantled to nothing left.
