Chapter 1075 Blues Chelsea

About eleven o'clock in the morning.

Xia Yu was still working in his own office at the headquarters of the Bright Fund, and George Berkeley brought people back.

Seeing George Berkeley's relaxed expression, Xia Yu smiled lightly and said, "George, is the negotiation going well?"

George Berkeley nodded, walked to the chair in front of Xia Yu's desk, sat down, and reported the situation to Xia Yu.

"Boss, the negotiation situation is normal."

"The government's plan is that the newly established telecommunications company will inject capital of 500 million pounds. Investors will inject the corresponding capital into the company according to the equity subscription, and the government will not profit from it."

"So the threshold for investing in a new telco is not just capital, but other ancillary conditions."

"In the beginning, the government offered to give us a 10% stake in the newly established telecommunications company, but on the condition that we need to invest more than 3 billion pounds in the UK within a year, and the Ministry of Commerce will supervise the implementation. One will also be written into the contract, if we do not meet the standard, we are in breach of contract, and the government will take back 5% of the equity for free.”

"After preliminary negotiation, the investment amount within one year was reduced to 2 billion pounds. After I felt that the negotiation was difficult, I temporarily suspended the negotiation and came back to ask you for instructions."

Xia Yu sneered, apparently dissatisfied with the attitude of the British government.

There is no doubt that today's negotiators must have been instructed by Margaret Thatcher above.

In his view, today's negotiation is a temptation.

But Xia Yu would not be fooled naively.

The 5 billion pound investment he and Margaret Thatcher threw out is aimed at the stability of Hong Kong, not this new second telecommunications company, which is just an addition.

And Margaret Thatcher wanted to use a second telecommunications company to cover part of his investment. When it came time to talk about the stability of Xiangjiang, his bargaining chips would be reduced, either the negotiation would fail, or he would be swayed. Margaret Thatcher took the opportunity to make other demands.

After closing his eyes and thinking for a long time, Xia Yu reopened his eyes and looked at George Berkeley, and decisively ordered: "George, you can continue to negotiate with them, you can be stronger, now the British government is begging us to invest, our bottom line is one to ten proportion."

"Let's multiply the money we invest in the UK in a year by ten times as much as we invest in the second telco."

"You can ask them to put forward ancillary conditions. If the investment does not meet the standard, half of the equity will be recovered, but we also have to declare here that the investment time is not fixed. That's fine, the UK Commerce Department can't interfere."

The registered capital of the new telecommunications company is only 500 million pounds. According to the bottom line proposed by Xia Yu, the British government wants them to invest 2 billion pounds, so it has to take 40% of the new telecommunications company's equity.

With such a volatile condition put forward, the initiative will go to Xia Yu's side, and it depends on how much equity the British government is willing to give them.

And the investment time has become looser. Xia Yu also considered that the Falklands War would happen in half a year. He could not invest much except in new telecommunications companies, and wait until after talking with the British government about the stability of Hong Kong. invest.

At that time, even if the contract has been signed, as long as the funds are not implemented, the British government will definitely be more scruples and will be able to gain more negotiating power for Xia Yu.

George Berkeley smiled, nodded and said, "Okay, boss! I understand what to do."

Xia Yu nodded with a smile, and then said: "George, you can let Dadong Telecom also participate. Anyway, Dadong Telecom also has 49% of the government's shares, and it can also provide technical support. The second telecom company wants to compete without technology.”

"Okay!" George Berkeley responded again.

...

While George Berkeley was busy with his second telecommunications company,

Xia Yu checked Rolls-Royce Motor Group and some other companies in the afternoon.

A day passed like that.

In the evening, Henry, who was on vacation, came out of school, held a party at his home in London, and invited Xia Yu to join him.

That night, many of Henry's classmates came, and apart from that, there were only Xia Yu and Elena in the party.

Everyone celebrated until twelve o'clock in the evening before dispersing. Since it was too late, Xia Yu simply stayed there for one night. Of course... he slept alone.

The next morning, Xia Yu got up early and practiced Tai Chi in the fresh air garden.

Although London is located in the north temperate zone, and now it has entered the winter of November, because England is surrounded by the ocean and is affected by the warm current of the North Atlantic, it belongs to a temperate maritime climate, so the winter in England is not cold.

In November, the temperature in London is between 5°C and 10°C, and the temperature can even reach 20°C during the day when it is hot.

Thanks to Xia Yu practicing Tai Chi all the year round, his body is strong and his resistance is very strong, so he just wore a light sweatshirt on his upper body, and the white mist formed by the hot air he exhaled when he snorted and snorted formed a strong white mist. sense of contrast.

"Xia Yu, put on your coat, don't catch a cold."

Just when Xia Yu stopped his fists and stood up, Irina, who appeared to be watching quietly, came over with a coat and said softly with a concerned face.

Feeling the weight on his shoulders, a thick coat was added to his body.

Looking at the beautiful face so close, Xia Yu showed a warm smile, he grabbed Elena's jade hand, but felt a chill.

Xia Yu was stunned for a moment, and then realized that it must be Elena who was standing outside with her coat, causing her hands to not keep warm.

Xia Yu's heart warmed, and he subconsciously held Elena's two hands, then held them in front of him, exhaling heat to her hands.

Looking at Xia Yu's serious face to warm his hands, and feeling the warmth from his palms, Elena's face bloomed with a more beautiful smile.

The usually stable and domineering Xia Yu suddenly showed such a gentle side, which made her feel more and more that Xia Yu exuded an unparalleled charm.

Before he knew it, Xia Yu raised his head, and looked at Elena with gentle eyes like water. Elena's eyes flickered, and her long and curled eyelashes trembled slightly.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I seem to have seen something I shouldn't have seen."

At this moment, Henry's voice sounded not far away, awakening Xia Yu and Elena who wanted to have more intimate contact with their emotions warmed up.

Seeing Elena withdraw her hand in a panic, Xia Yu felt a lot of regret, and looked helplessly at Henry not far away, but only saw Henry's back walking back.

It seems that this is really just an accident.

Xia Yu shrugged and gave Elena a regretful smile.

Elena blushed slightly and said softly, "Xia Yu, let's go in for breakfast."

"OK!"

Xia Yu responded and walked into the villa side by side with Elena.

While eating breakfast, Xia Yu felt a little funny when he looked at Henry winking, and then saw that Henry became honest instantly after being beaten by the calm Elena, and he couldn't help laughing.

He ignored Henry's innocent and depressed eyes.

Xia Yu's attention was attracted by the blue jersey he was wearing.

There is a round team badge on the chest. The blue ring shading has golden stars and football patterns on the upper half, and CHELSEAFOOTBALLCLUB is embroidered on the lower half. In the middle of the blue ring, it is a pair of feet upright. Lion with golden scepter.

This is Chelsea's most famous logo!

Xia Yu took a mouthful of milk and swallowed the bread, and asked, "Henry, are you a Chelsea fan?"

As soon as he heard Chelsea, Henry was instantly refreshed. He nodded and said with an excited look: "Of course, I am a big fan of Chelsea."

Just when Henry had just finished speaking, Elena's sudden remark made Henry's face collapse.

"Just been a loyal fan for less than a year!"

"Sister~"

Henry, who was still proud, suddenly shrugged, looked at Elena with resentment, and called out to his sister in a long tone.

The tone was full of resentment, like a little daughter-in-law who was angry.

Xia Yu laughed dumbly, and then said: "Elena, time is just a way to prove whether you are a loyal fan. I don't think Henry will lie about this."

Xia Yu's solidarity and recognition shocked Henry and gave his sister a proud look.

Elena shook her head with a chuckle, and after looking at Xia Yu, she continued to eat breakfast with a smile.

"Then Henry, are you going to the ball game today? Is there any important game?"

In the face of Xia Yu's inquiry, Henry put down his bread and said incessantly: "Yes, at ten o'clock this morning, at Chelsea's home stadium, Stamford Bridge, Liverpool will challenge Chelsea, I have already booked a ticket, Invite your classmates to cheer for Chelsea together!"

"There, you talk about seeing the big spectacle of the Blues defeating the Reds."

"Xia Yu, do you want to go see it together?"

"I think as long as you watch it, you will become a big Chelsea fan like me..."
