Rebirth of England

"I don't know any earlier than you, but I can say with certainty that this matter will probably have a great impact on the outcome of the meeting..."

"Your Highness the Duke, as far as I know, you have a good relationship with the eldest lady of the TP family, um, the 'young genius investor', Miss Ivanta."

The relationship between Barron and Ivanta will be kept secret from the public, but John Bogle is not surprised that he knows something, but he will not admit it explicitly:

"I do have some business cooperation with Miss TP. There is no essential difference between my cooperation with the Pilot Group. It's like I can't influence your decision, don't you think so? Mr. Bogle."

"But we know that Miss Ivanta had a meeting with David Smith two days ago. At that time, the news that IC Capital would enter the Sinclair Group's board of directors had not yet been made public. Now it seems that her The intention is somewhat worth pondering.”

"Mr. Bogle, no matter what, the interests of the Pilot Group in the Sinclair Group will not be harmed. It is just a matter of whether it can obtain more benefits. I told John Smith that I will On the side of the winner, I’m sure you think so too, but who will be the winner?”

Barron no longer wants to continue playing guessing games with Bogle, an old fox:

"I can only say that no matter what, we still have mutual friendship. Under this premise, if you want to get the shares of SEM Group, I will not object... As for the Sinclair Group board of directors meeting Wish us luck as a result."

…

This was the message Barron gave to the Pilot Group before this.

As for the question about Ivanta...

It is also easy to understand, as Barron said, no matter what the outcome of the board meeting, the interests of the Pilot Group will not be greatly damaged, unless they choose to stand on the side of the loser.

It is precisely this way, after noticing the emergence of the variable IC Capital, and Ivanta asked for a final vote according to Barron's suggestions, in this case, the Pilot Group is not sure at which moment, When John Smith's proposal can get a majority of votes - the choice of IC Capital and DS Capital is no longer under their control - then the safest option is to abstain.

Although they will not be on the side of the winner, at least they will not be on the side of the loser, which is the safest way.

When the Navigation Group made its choice, the choices made by Amber Sheehan and Ivanta, who represented DS Capital, were already determined.

This result is considered good for Barron. DS Capital can choose to abstain. Although it has temporarily given up John Smith, it is not completely on the side of David Smith, which is considered a neutral attribute.

It also allows John Smith to retain the hope of a comeback - provided he is willing to show enough sincerity.

"Dear, then we should proceed as planned?"

"Yes."

…

After hanging up the phone, Barron continued to read what he had not finished before, about the plan for the new capital of Colo...

Yes, the Colo government has announced their new capital plan before this. They will transfer the country's main administrative departments from Loti to the central city of Bulita in the next three years.

In fact, Kolo has long had the idea of ​​​​moving the capital, but it was difficult to promote it due to historical reasons.

The first is that Loti's location is not suitable for becoming the capital of a country.

Because Loti is not only a coastal city, it is almost immediately adjacent to the border between Kolo and neighboring Ghana...

There is a saying that a cannonball fired from Ghana can land directly into the presidential palace in Kolo - which is only one kilometer from the border, and their parliament building is only two kilometers from the border.

When Barron helped the Colo Liberation Front successfully launch a coup, it was also because of the geographical location of the capital Loti...

There are historical reasons for this situation. In the earliest times, the entire Crow region was a German colony.

They landed from the sea and chose Loti to build a port and carry out key development.

After Germany's defeat in World War I, the Colo area was divided between Britain and France.

Among them, the relatively rich western Kolo region belonged to the British and was incorporated into the colony of Ghana.

Loti and the relatively barren eastern Colot region belonged to France and became French Colot.

Because Loti had been run by the Germans for many years and was the largest city there, it was made the capital of French Collot by the French.

After World War II, the independence movement in Africa emerged. After the two sides gained independence from Britain and France, they became Ghana and Kolo.

Another reason is that after years of development, Loti, the original capital of Colo, has gathered a large population.

The entire population of Colo is less than 7 million, and 2 million people live in the city of Loti.

Now in the entire country of Kolo, the economy is strong in the south and weak in the north. To be precise, it is concentrated in the coastal area centered on Loti.

Other areas, especially north of the long-term rebel-occupied central province, are mainly agricultural and very poor.

On the one hand, although Loti has a large population, its layout is messy, which is not conducive to short-term re-planning.

On the other hand, the Colo government also hopes to increase the development of areas outside the Maritime Province.

In this way, it would be a good move to move the capital and move the administrative functions of the government to the hinterland of Colo.

Of course, the main reason why this measure can be truly implemented is that the Colo government has money...

After the offshore oil fields have become more and more fully developed, and now on the path of rising oil prices, the Colo government has received generous special taxes on oil extraction and high profit sharing from Colo Petroleum Company, which has also allowed The Colo government now has the ability to implement this policy of moving the capital to create a new city.

Their new capital was chosen in Bulita, located in the Central Province. It was originally just a small town. Next, large-scale construction will begin there. Within three years, most of Loti's capital functions will be transferred there. .

Prior to this, Golden Africa Real Estate Group has taken the lead in purchasing more than 40% of the land in Bulita, and will be the real estate company that will benefit the most from the construction of the new capital.

Another project, Jupiter Tower, built by Golden Africa Real Estate Group, is a 25-story "residential building" that will become Barron's residence in Colo in the future.

In addition, they will also start building commercial areas, office buildings and mid-to-high-end residential areas in Bulita.

It is worth mentioning that after the announcement of the construction plan for the new capital of Bulita, the Loda Expressway and the Loda Railway, the main arteries that run through the north and south of Colo, will also first build the section from Loti to Bullita. Speed ​​up the connection between the new capital and the largest cities.
