Chapter 538 Solution

Next, Barron also met with Tom Gloser, president of Reuters Group.

Tom Gloser joined Reuters Group as its president in 2001. He was also the final candidate selected by Reuters Founder AG from global managers based on its five core principles.

He was very successful in running Reuters Group. Later, after Thomson merged with Reuters in the original time and space, he also became the CEO of Thomson-Reuters Group.

"I will support any proposal that is beneficial to the future development of Reuters Group. Of course, this also includes your acquisition of Reuters. This is an option worth considering, Your Highness..."

In this meeting, Barron proposed that if SEM Group can complete the acquisition of Reuters Group, then Reuters Group will still maintain its independence, and Tom Gloser will continue to serve as CEO of Reuters Group.

In this regard, Tom Grosser said:

"But we still have doubts, that is, SEM Group owns Standard Newspaper Group and ITV, and our Reuters Group's important business is to provide news and financial consulting to the media. If it is acquired by SEM Group, will it affect the purchase of our consulting by the media that competes with them..."

This is indeed possible, but...

"Mr. Grosser, nothing is perfect, and choices must be made. What I can guarantee is that after being acquired by SEM Group, the benefits that Reuters Group can get will definitely be far greater than the impact..."

Barron also proposed a plan:

"Not only will Reuters Group have a relatively independent position within SEM Group in the future, but we can also set up a global information company that will still be subject to the Reuters Trust Principles and be responsible for Reuters Group's external consulting services."

The plan proposed by Barron is a solution to the "compliance with Reuters' principles on news reporting" mentioned in the previous conversation with Green Hammer, chairman of Reuters Founder AG.

"It is a great honor to meet you today, Your Highness. We still need to discuss your acquisition of Reuters Group. I personally hope that everyone will be happy in the end."

Barron also knew that an acquisition of this scale could not be determined in one or two meetings. It would take long-term negotiations and discussions to reach a consensus on the demands of all parties, especially under the premise that Reuters Group has such a unique supervision mechanism.

But Barron knew that if the development in the previous life was the same, Thomson Group would soon launch an acquisition of Reuters Group - perhaps the two sides have already had contact.

"I have already mentioned this in the last meeting with Mr. Hammer. We will increase our holdings in Reuters Group in the near future and promise not to seek control of Reuters Group before reaching an agreement with you. If the final agreement is not reached, we will reduce our holdings to 15% later."

"This is something that Reuters Founders AG needs to review, Your Highness, but personally, I think that even if we increase our holdings, it should not exceed 33%..."

The reason why Barron made such a request is to prevent Thomson Group from acquiring Reuters Group like in his previous life - even so, at least SEM Group can still make some money from it, and of course he will definitely try his best to prevent this from happening.

In addition, Barron is now talking about this matter to the two people, and is also testing the attitude of Reuters Founders AG and Tom Groser in this acquisition of SEM Group and Thomson Group...

...

In the morning light, the bedroom was a little messy. When Barron walked in, Cather turned his head slightly to look at the door, and then continued to fall asleep.

In the past few days, Barron has visited this villa quite often. The media has learned that after breaking up with Prince William, Cather got a vacation and went abroad to relax.

In fact, she was picked up by Barron's private plane and sent to this newly purchased villa of Barron in a very secretive way.

Barron still remembers Cather's "complaint" when they first learned knowledge that day - strictly speaking, it was the first time for the two of them after Barron's current soul came to this world:

"You are simply going to kill me, Barron!"

Obviously, she felt the difference between the current Barron and the last time they met four years ago.

From her reaction, Barron can also know that this process may be the biggest "test" she has encountered so far.

But the consequence is that after she adapted to the rhythm of this study, she began to taste the taste.

For Barron, the relationship with Cather is more of a psychological satisfaction - whenever he thinks of the noble and elegant appearance of Cather as a princess attending those major events in his previous life, this gives Barron a feeling that other women do not have.

In other words, because of his extraordinary experience of rebirth, Barron can foresee the unique experience that will be brought by her future identity from Cather, who is still a young girl now.

Of course, that was all, just like Cather was more of a way to fill her lost mood after breaking up with William from Barron, and indulge herself moderately.

Barron just treated the relationship between the two as a role-playing game.

"Your previous vacation was until tomorrow, which means you will be back to work soon. Of course, if you still need time, it's just a matter of words, Cather."

Barron put on a brand new custom-made shirt after showering after fitness, and said to Cather while buttoning it.

Cather opened her eyes again after hearing this, and focused her eyes on Barron's well-defined muscles. She took a deep breath and said:

"No, I've rested long enough, and I've had enough of your tossing. I will cheer up and face everything."

"It's obvious that you are not sincere. Maybe you have forgotten how you begged me at that time..."

"Shut up, Barron!"

Obviously, there is no more superficial politeness between Cather and Barron, but they can communicate more directly - this is a good thing.

"Okay, whatever you want, Cather. Remember to get up and have breakfast. I'm going out first."

"I see. Also, I'll move back home this morning..."

Barron stopped and turned to Cather and said:

"No problem. I'll send a car to take you there."

"No, someone will come to pick me up. Anyway, I don't have too much luggage. I don't want to be discovered by reporters when I get off your car and go home..."
