Rebirth of England

Chapter 697 Test drive?

"I seldom drink alcohol..."

Facing Talulah's words, Barron said:

"But the invitation of a beautiful woman should not be rejected, but in this case, I have a good place."

It seems that Barron is always accompanied by so many security personnel. Whether it is going to a nightclub or a high-end private club, it is not suitable at this time.

Of course, he did not intend to take Talulah directly to his house, so under his instructions, the convoy drove directly to Neverland on the outskirts of London.

Here, Barron can still completely relax.

Barron still has some patience for Talulah Riley.

In his previous life, the reason why Musk was able to establish a relationship with Talulah in a short time after ending his previous marriage and meeting her was not only because of her beauty and knowledge that was rare among celebrities - Talulah later obtained a doctorate in quantum physics - but also because she was relatively clean.

Talulah Riley has always refused premarital X behavior, so among female celebrities, she is considered very "clean".

This is probably why she has such beauty, but she only appears in a few Hollywood movies and TV series, and her roles are not important.

Of course, the principles she insists on in many cases may be because she has not met someone who can make her give up her principles...

In the villa of Neverland, Barron and Talulah were on the balcony, feeling the breeze from the Thames and enjoying the night view.

They didn't drink too much, and only opened a bottle of red wine.

But it can be seen that Talulah is a little drunk.

I don't know when it started, but Barron has embraced her in his arms, and they are immersed in waves of passionate kisses from time to time...

During this process, Barron, like a professional repairman, checked the quality of the headlights, the curves of the entire sports car, and the components of each part...

But when he was about to start the sports car, he was rejected by Talulah...

"I, I think we are too fast, Your Highness..."

"I said, just call me Barron."

At this time, Barron was not in a hurry to test drive this super sports car with beautiful lines, and stopped the maintenance and inspection process very gentlemanly...

After all, for him now, compared to completing the test drive of the new car, experiencing the whole process is more interesting.

Even if he knew that even if Talulah refused at this time, it would not be difficult for him to get her with a little tricks.

But, what fun is it always like this?

When Barron finally left the villa and left Talulah alone, Talulah lay in the bathtub, surrounded by warmth. At this time, her emotions were still very complicated. She was very grateful for the Duke's respect for her, but at the same time, she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed...

...

"At present, in terms of variety shows, our ITV has always been ahead of BBC and Sky TV, especially the British Voice launched this year, which is very popular and has become another phenomenal variety show..."

In the SEM Group's meeting, Barron and Bonnie, a former couple, attended together, which was rare.

In fact, Bonnie is not only a major shareholder of SEM Group, but also responsible for the production and promotion of its entertainment programs.

Bonnie's work has not been questioned at all, because most of the ace variety shows currently owned by ITV were originally planned and produced by Bonnie.

This also makes ITV maintain an absolute advantage in variety shows compared to BBC and Sky TV.

Since the beginning of this year, ITV's biggest achievement in variety shows is the new show "The Voice of England" that has just been produced and broadcast. This is still planned by Bonnie (in fact, it comes from the main idea provided by Barron to Bonnie). Once it was launched, it became very popular.

During the broadcast process, "The Voice of England" created multiple ratings records. It can be said that its novel competition method, especially the blind selection of mentors, mainly based on the voice, made the audience shine and immersed in it.

In addition to creating a ratings myth in Britain, "The Voice of England" has also been actively introduced by many TV stations including Australia, North America and Europe. At present, more than 3 TV stations have purchased the copyright of "The Voice of England" and hope to replicate this phenomenal variety show locally.

Speaking of Sky TV, after Murdoch had to agree to "share" the broadcasting rights of the Premier League with SEM Group under Barron because of the "eavesdropping scandal", their competitiveness has gradually weakened.

After all, before this, relying on the broadcasting rights of the Premier League, Sky TV could be said to be a big hit in the sports field. Neither the BBC nor ITV could compete with it. They also once had the most pay TV channel users in the UK.

But now it is completely different. ITV itself has an advantage over the BBC and Sky TV in terms of entertainment programs. In terms of sports channels, it has also gradually caught up by "sharing" the broadcasting rights of the Premier League with Sky TV, and even has a trend of catching up.

Many people have analyzed that it is very likely that in the next competition for the Premier League broadcasting rights, Sky TV will even get fewer broadcasts of games, and will be crushed by ITV...

This can be seen from the increasingly low stock price of Sky TV in the past two years. I am afraid that in the future, in terms of financial strength, they are no match for ITV, which has strong support.

As for news and information, BBC and ITV each have their own advantages...

It can be said that the current "Big Three" of British TV stations are still BBC, ITV and Sky TV, but the ranking of the strength of these three giants is very different from two or three years ago.

"It is said that News Corporation is ready to complete the acquisition of Sky TV. Once this transaction is completed, it is not impossible that the other party will invest more funds to help Sky TV revive."

Before this, News Corporation was just a major shareholder of Sky TV-News Corporation previously owned about 39.1% of Sky TV's shares.

And they have long hoped to complete the full acquisition of Sky TV, but because of the "wiretapping gate" incident, News Corporation had to announce the suspension of the full acquisition of Sky TV.

Because they knew that under the circumstances at that time, even if they still insisted on the acquisition, they would probably not get the approval of the British side, so they had to give up temporarily.

But now Sky TV is facing difficulties, and with the elimination of the impact of the "phone-hacking" incident, News Corporation has the idea of ​​acquiring Sky TV in full, hoping to buy Sky TV at a relatively low price and help it return to its previous glory...
