v2 Chapter 969： Bentley Scramble One

Bao Zixuan was awarded the title of life aristocrat by the Queen of England, although the influence in the UK is not very big. After all, compared with the Macmillan hereditary aristocracy, the title of Bao's richest man is really nothing.

But Macmillan has been retired for many years and may still be known in the UK. But if you look at the whole world, compared with Bao Zixuan, it is really not enough to see. When the Hong Kong issue was about to become clear, he suddenly accepted the British royal family. Bao Zixuan's actions are really incomprehensible.

Bao Zixuan was awarded the title of life-long nobleman, which caused a panic even in Xiangjiang. What does it mean to be the richest man? Are you also going to leave a way for yourself?

However, it is only a noble title at present, and I have not yet understood what is going on. Moreover, when the British were involved, the major media in Hong Kong did not dare to make random comments. It's better for county officials to manage now, that's how people are.

If you question Bao Zixuan's aristocratic status, you are questioning the British royal family. If you feel that the richest man Bao is trying to make way for himself, then he is looking for trouble. Not only the Heiyun Group is going to confront you, but maybe even the Governor's Palace and the police station are going to take care of you.

Therefore, Bao Zixuan was awarded the title of life-long nobleman, and the Hong Kong media just reported it briefly, and no one dared to make any remarks easily.

On the second day of the conferment, Bao Zixuan came to the British industrial town of Crewe. This time, it was just one person with a bodyguard. Zhang Youran wanted to go shopping in London. After all, he had already made an appointment with Princess Diana before. I don't know if I don't want to participate in my husband's work, or I want to experience the noble life. Bao Zixuan didn't care much, and he was quite satisfied with Zhang Youran at the moment. Although it can't be regarded as such a powerful internal helper, at least he didn't support his hind legs.

Crewe County is not particularly famous in the UK, but when it comes to the destination of Bao Zixuan's trip, it is definitely famous. The famous British car brand, Bentley is headquartered in this humble town.

In fact, in foreign countries, many well-known brands, especially high-end brands; the headquarters are not very famous, at least they do not like to put their headquarters in big cities. In fact, it is not only because of the high operating costs of big cities; there are also important reasons, the comfort of life, and the inherent self-confidence.

Small city life is relatively comfortable, and there are not so many messes. As long as you do your job well, you will have a lot of time to spend with your family. And well-known brands, especially high-end brands. Customers don't care where their headquarters are, as long as the products they produce are good enough.

The arrival of Bao Zixuan is not only a recognition for British Bentley, but also a hope to get rid of Rolls-Royce management.

At present, the sales volume of Bentley and Rolls-Royce is almost the same, but Bentley is in Rolls-Royce, giving people the feeling that it is like the birth of a concubine. Not only is it restricted everywhere, but it also has to use a Rolls-Royce engine, which gives a very bad experience.

Although the Rolls-Royce brand is more well-known, even the engine is a product of others, which makes Bentley feel very shameless.

Coupled with the recession in the UK in recent years, the parent company is struggling, how can Bentley's life be better. The wages of the workers here have not only not been increased, but have even been reduced to some extent.

At the same time, Rolls-Royce has not had a good time, but the treatment of workers has not changed. How can Bentley's management and workers be happy, this kind of life really doesn't want to go on for a day.

For the arrival of Bao Zixuan, Rolls-Royce did not come forward. Instead, let Bentley negotiate with Heiyun Group first, and let the richest man see whether Bentley is worth buying. For this, Rolls-Royce has absolute confidence, and I believe that this time it will be able to slaughter the richest man in Hong Kong.

The situation of Bao Zixuan, not only Rolls-Royce, I am afraid the whole world knows. Heiyun Automobile is gaining momentum, and the current development is not an exaggeration to describe it in a thousand miles. With Bao Zixuan's courage, temper, and disposition, it is impossible for Heiyun Auto not to move towards high-end models.

But at present, Heiyun Automobile has not been established for a long time, and there is no historical precipitation. The most important main body of Black Cloud cars is in the United States, which is in the desert of high-end models.

Britain is definitely the best choice for Black Cloud to enter high-end models, and only Bentley is the most suitable. As long as Bao Zixuan is not stupid, he will definitely make the right choice.

Although Rolls-Royce is in a bad situation, the entire Black Cloud Group has made a lot of money. In recent years, no one has made more money than Bao Zixuan, and I am afraid the whole world thinks so. And this kid is not stingy, if he doesn't take more money from his pocket, he will be sorry for his status as the richest man in Xiangjiang.

The person in charge of receiving Bao Zixuan and his party was a member of the founding family of Bentley Motors, Vincent Bentley, the eldest grandson of the late Bentley Motors founder Walter Owen Bentley. Not yet 40 years old, it is the golden age of a man's career.

In fact, many times Bao Zixuan really admires these foreign brands, even if the years change, even if the family has lost control. But they will already fight for the beloved company, and they can do it without any regrets. Just for a belief, a family heritage belief.

After being introduced by John Chambers to the two, Vincent Bentley was also considered a leader among young people. However, compared with Bao Zixuan, he immediately turned into a middle-aged uncle who had no successful career.

One is to work **** one's own to earn a great career. One is the sale of the family business, although it has little to do with him. However, it is their incompetence to not take the Bentley back into the hands of the family. At least a lot of people would think so, including Vincent Bentley himself.

Knowing that Bao Zixuan is very clear about the history and current situation of Bentley cars. But Vincent Bentley still followed the process and started to introduce Bao Zixuan and his party. Not just visiting Bentleys, but probably any well-known British brand in the past.

Vincent Bentley said very seriously: "During the First World War, Walter Owen Bentley was employed by the British Royal Naval Air Force Technical Committee to work on the improvement of the French Creggate engine. The aluminum alloy piston he designed was soon used by aircraft. The engine is widely used, not only its improved aero-engines are famous for BR1 and BR2, but also he has accumulated a lot of manufacturing experience and mastered enough engineering skills. So after the war, he was complacent and started to design and manufacture his own Car."

"At the beginning of 1919, the design of the new car was completed. At this time, funds were also raised, and the later famous Bentley Motors Co., Ltd. was established. At that time, the nominal share capital of the company was 200,000 pounds, but in fact, the cash in the bank was only more than 18,000. Sterling. So, the company was underfunded from the start, which set the stage for Bentley's financial woes."

"In 1921, Bentley produced a 3-liter model with a power of 85 horsepower and a speed of 128 kilometers, which was the fastest production car at the time. This model is considered to be the most innovative product in the car world at the time, and it pioneered the performance The concept of a car. This 3-liter car broke almost all endurance and speed records of the time, and later its derivatives also won the historic 1924, 1927, 1928, 1929 and 1930 5 models for Bentley. Winner of the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2018, Bentley has since become famous all over the world.”

Under normal circumstances, the introduction of Vincent Bentley here will basically not continue. Because entering the 1930s, Bentley cars no longer belonged to the Bentley family, but were acquired by Rolls-Royce.

And the acquisition of Bentley Les Royce paid almost nothing. He just took on the other party's debt of 100,000 pounds. Although it was not a small amount at that time, it was similar to what Bai picked up.

In fact, in the eyes of Vincent Bentley, Grandpa may be a genius engineer. But it is by no means a successful and productive businessman, otherwise the company cannot be run by it in a mess, and even be acquired by someone in the end.

Bentley's performance in the 24 Hours of Le Mans that year shocked the world. They all recognize the performance of Bentley cars, but my grandfather is always stubborn; he is dismissive of the marketing plan of the company's business personnel, and even sneered at investors.

But it's too late to say anything, it's only a matter of time before Bentley is acquired. And Vincent-Bentley knew that once the company was acquired by Black Cloud Auto. The possibility of the Bentley family wanting to get it back is almost zero, and Bao Zixuan is a good owner of money.

In the hands of Rolls-Royce, there may still be a glimmer of hope, and now this hope is gradually being extinguished by him.

Rolls-Royce wouldn't do it if it wanted to take Bentleys to the world. First, their ability is not enough, and their strength is not enough. Even if all conditions are right, people will push their own brands first. Bentley has never been taken seriously, letting Black Cloud Motors stay in Bentley; it is also responsible for all the employees of the company.
