After coming out of Rolls-Royce Motor Company, Xia Yu wondered how to talk to Margaret Thatcher later.
"Xia Yu, what are you thinking?"
Elena, who was sitting next to Xia Yu, turned her head and asked softly.
Xia Yu returned to his senses and smiled indifferently: "When it comes to the acquisition of Leland Automobile Group, I plan to go to Downing Street and talk to Ms. Margaret in person."
Elena showed a stunned look and figured out the key, she asked: "Does that need me to tell my dad? He is also a shareholder of the company, and he has a good relationship with Ms. Margaret, if he Come forward, maybe it will be more efficient."
Seeing Elena saying this, Xia Yu felt happy, and before she knew it, Elena came to him and took the initiative to consider him.
If Duke Carter Howard knows about it, I don't know if he will turn his face on him.
Shaking his head slightly, weeding out the cluttered thoughts, he seriously considered Elena's suggestion.
Duke Carter Howard is also a shareholder of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. After enjoying the results, he naturally assumes the corresponding responsibilities. If he hasn't done anything, it is easy to cause hidden dangers in the long run.
Moreover, although he himself is sure, if Duke Carter Howard can come forward together, he will be more sure and save him time.
Thinking of this, Xia Yu smiled and nodded and said, "Well, I haven't seen your father for a long time, so I happened to visit him. Besides, his baby daughter works in our company and never goes home. What can I do? You have to show up too, lest he think I sold his precious daughter."
"By the way, Elena, because of this, I plan to stay in the UK for a few more days."
Elena was originally shy because of Xia Yu's ambiguity in front of her, but she was immediately attracted by the words behind Xia Yu. She was not ashamed and asked in surprise, "Really?"
Xia Yu smiled and nodded, with a touch of tenderness and smile between his brows: "Of course!"
Elena was happy in her heart and said with a smile: "That's great!"
...
Norfolk, England.
Seeing the huge and magnificent castle covered with snow in front of him, Xia Yu's heart fluttered.
Compared with this castle, his country manor in London is simply a thatched house.
"At that time, let George pay more attention. If there is any castle for sale, it must be bought."
A thought flashed through Xia Yu's mind.
Anyway, he is already so rich, he should spend some to make himself happy!
While Xia Yu was thinking, the car continued to drive towards the gate of the castle.
...
"father!"
Carter Howard, who was sitting on a luxurious sofa wrapped in furry reindeer fur and reading a newspaper, was awakened by a familiar voice. He followed his reputation and saw Elena, who was wearing a white down jacket and blushing.
Duke Carter Howard suddenly smiled, put down the newspaper, got up and walked over, still muttering: "It turns out that it's my little baby who is back. Dad misses you so much!"
"Dad, I miss you too!"
Seeing the two cordial greetings from father and daughter, Xia Yu smiled and stood quietly beside him.
Ten seconds later, Duke Carter Howard looked at Xia Yu. Xia Yu immediately placed his right hand on his chest, bowed slightly and greeted him politely: "Sir Carter, I'm bothering you!"
"How can this be an interruption, you are welcome, please sit down!"
Duke Carter Howard was kind and said with a smile.
"Thank you!"
"Tea or coffee?"
"Cafe!"
Just noticed that there was coffee on the table in front of Duke Carter Howard, so Xia Yu subconsciously said.
The servant who had just arrived listened and immediately went to grind and brew coffee in silence.
"Elena, you haven't been here for a long time, how many days do you plan to stay here this time?"
"Dad, I haven't decided yet, let's see it later."
"Well, you have grown up too, I respect your ideas, but you have to know, Dad really misses you, Henry goes to school in London again, most of the time I can't see you two..."
"Sorry Dad..."
...
Duke Carter Howard revealed his sincerity in front of him, an outsider, which really surprised Xia Yu.
But thinking about the evaluation of Duke Carter Howard, saying that he is an alternative among the nobility, a nobleman full of romantic feelings, Xia Yu suddenly understood.
Perhaps in Duke Carter Howard's conception, he doesn't care about this kind of outside view.
Xia Yu silently looked at the surrounding decoration and layout.
It has to be said that this castle fully reflects the heritage and cultural depth of a ducal family. There are various exquisite sculptures on the roof and surrounding walls. There are also paintings on the walls. Exquisite porcelain and small pieces are placed on the closets. Sculpture, the surrounding pillars are wrapped with unique patterns, a huge crystal chandelier hangs on the roof, and purple agate is inlaid in colored glass.
Everywhere is exquisite and full of charm. Being here is like returning to the Middle Ages, which is completely different from the modern city.
"Sir, your coffee!"
Just as Xia Yu was looking at the decorations with interest, the servant brought a cup of coffee to Xia Yu and woke him up.
Xia Yu responded with a smile: "Thank you!"
"You're welcome!"
At this time, it seemed that she felt embarrassed to sit Xia Yu alone, Elena provoked the topic and said in a conspicuous tone: "Dad, now Rolls-Royce Motor Company's turnover is about to break through. One hundred and fifty million pounds."
Duke Carter Howard's brows trembled. He really didn't know this data. He also paid special attention to the new car in the first few days of the launch in early January. Unexpectedly, the sales volume was almost 150 million pounds in just over a month!
Thinking of the entire acquisition of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars before, it only cost 120 million pounds, and he only paid 24 million pounds. Even if we add 10 million pounds from the joint capital injection, the cumulative amount is still Just 34 million pounds.
But now with sales of 150 million pounds, according to current trends, annual sales exceeding one billion pounds is not a problem.
And as a high-end and top luxury car, the brand premium is very high, so the net profit margin is much higher than that of ordinary car companies!
The reason why there is today's results is entirely because of Xia Yu.
Duke Carter Howard looked at Xia Yu and said with a sigh: "Mr. Xia, Rolls-Royce Motor Company has the achievements it has today. It is entirely your credit."
Xia Yu humbly shook his head and smiled: "No, Sir Carter, without you, the Rolls-Royce Motor Company would never have achieved what it is today, because it would still be under the Rolls-Royce Group."
Carter Howard was taken aback, then laughed.
"Your answer is very unique..."
Xia Yu shrugged and said, "But that's the truth, isn't it?"
Carter Howard smiled and said, "Maybe..."
After laughing, Xia Yu looked straight and stated: "Sir Carter, I went to Rolls-Royce Motor Company yesterday and Rudolf Brook made an acquisition plan. I'll show it to you."
With that, Xia Yu took out the plan made by Rudolph Brooke yesterday from his bag and handed it to Carter Howard.
The latter was a little surprised, and silently accepted the plan, and read it quietly.
Xia Yu picked up the coffee and tasted it slowly.
With Carter Howard's wit, after reading the plan, he guessed Xia Yu's intention.
But what he has to admit is that this plan is very tempting and operational.
Originally, Carter Howard didn't pay much attention to Rolls-Royce Motor Company's investment. The main reason was to pay back Xia Yu's kindness. By the way, he participated in a stock and let his daughter Elena experience it.
Who knows that Xia Yu turned things around and turned Rolls-Royce Motor Cars into treasure. Now he looks like a rising auto giant.
At this time, his 20% equity is worth money, and his mentality has also changed.
If managed well, the Rolls-Royce Motor Company will develop into a world-class giant, even if it is only 20% of the equity, it can more than double the assets of the Howard family.
Maybe it can be worth more than Lloyds Bank's equity!
Thinking of this, he didn’t plan to go around with Xia Yu, and proactively said: “Mr. Xia, I think I can help with the acquisition of Leland Automobile Group, and I have some friendship with William Lyons, which can convince him to Equity transfer."
Leland Motor Group is only the largest shareholder of Jaguar Motors, and the second largest shareholder is the founder Sir William Lyons. Although Jaguar Motors is listed separately, Sir William Lyons is absolutely incapable of completing the acquisition. Hom.
Duke Carter Howard's ostentation made Xia Yu feel good He smiled and said, "Thank you Sir."
Xia Yu continued: "Do you think we need to have a face-to-face meeting with Ms. Margaret in order to be more efficient?"
Duke Carter Howard glanced at Xia Yu and knew that Xia Yu had an idea, so he nodded and asked, "This is the best way. When are you going to go?"
"I can get ready in these two days, don't know if you are free?"
"I'm free these days, anytime I can."
After the agreement was reached, Xia Yu asked again: "Then, there is one more question. The implementation of this plan will require a large amount of funds. My initial idea is to obtain a loan from the bank. What do you think?"
Before he came, he thought about how to speak, whether it was a capital injection acquisition or a loan acquisition, after much deliberation or a loan acquisition.
Although he is not bad for money, he does not need to invest money here. He can invest in the United Kingdom separately to increase the value.
Furthermore, once capital injection is mentioned, what if Duke Carter Howard suddenly feels that his previous equity is too small and wants to expand his equity?
It will be a nuisance then.
Whether it is rejection or acceptance, it will be him who will lose.
As for another possibility of Duke Carter Howard giving up capital injection, as long as he is not stupid, he will never give up capital injection when the future of Rolls-Royce Motor Company is bright.
Duke Carter Howard nodded and agreed: "No problem. With the current situation of Rolls-Royce Motor Company, I believe that any bank will be willing to relax. I happen to be the director of Lloyds Bank. Let me tell them about the loan. No problem."
"Then trouble you!"
