Reborn Xiangjiang Tycoon Growth

Bao Zixuan's guess was indeed correct. After Rolls-Royce received such a huge sum of money, the two families began to fight again, and the intensity was much higher than before.

Richard Rouse means to use most of the funds for shareholder dividends. After all, unlike the Rice family, the Rouse family has too many industries that require capital investment. Of course, such a good opportunity cannot be missed. And

It has been approved by the vast majority of shareholders, and no one will object if they have money to share.

As the CEO of Rolls-Royce, Dawson is considered a member of the Rolls family, but this time he is in a very difficult position. Rolls-Royce is in urgent need of funds for development, and finally obtained the funds through the sale of Bentley. Now Richard Rolls

If they actually want to pay dividends, this will seriously harm the interests of Rolls-Royce.

Bentley is sold to Heiyun Group. With Bao Zixuan's character, he will definitely invest heavily in research and development. It may not affect Rolls-Royce in the short term, but it will definitely become a serious problem in the future. Moreover, Heiyun Group itself is stronger than

There are too many Rolls-Royces. In terms of market channels and promotion capabilities, even Rolls-Royce cannot keep up with them.

On the one hand, it is working hard to seek breakthroughs in technology, products, and sales. On the other hand, it is content with the status quo and only thinks about immediate profits. In comparison, Rolls-Royce will inevitably be slowly eliminated by the market.

Fortunately, Ferdinand Rice argued hard and refused to use the funds to distribute dividends. Because of the sales of Bentley, profit this year is inevitable. But this kind of profit is not advisable, let alone long-term.

Asking Dawson what his opinion was at this time really made him very embarrassed.

Dawson: "Otherwise, half of it will be used for shareholder dividends, and the other half will be invested in company operations and research and development."

This is what a good old man does, and no one should be offended.

However, Dawson's words made Richard Laws very unhappy. In his opinion, Dawson's behavior was cheating and he forgot who he was.

In fact, the reason why Richard Routh dared not to participate in specific affairs had a lot to do with Dawson. As the son of the Routh family's butler, Dawson was equivalent to his domestic slave. At least in the eyes of outsiders, it was just that

There is no such name now.

But such a person dares to go against his own will. Could it be that he wants to rebel?

Seeing Richard Rolls' fierce eyes, Dawson knew that he had made the wrong decision. But he did not regret it. At least this decision was worthy of his status as the CEO of Rolls-Royce.

Even the domestic slaves objected, and Ferdinand Rice strongly requested. In the end, a compromise plan could only be adopted, with half of the funds used for dividends and half of the funds placed in the company's accounts. As for the specific use, all shareholders needed to vote and discuss.

This hid another hidden danger. In the end, this fund was basically used for shareholder dividends and other matters. The investment allocated to R&D and operations was minimal; it also paved the way for the acquisition of Rolls-Royce.

Of course, Bao Zixuan will not pay attention to what the senior executives of Rolls-Royce think. The Bentley has been obtained, and it has gone so smoothly. Then the next step is to determine the engine R&D and manufacturing center. This is the main purpose of coming to the UK.

Luton is a city in southern England, UK. It is located 48 kilometers northwest of London, in the hilly land of the upper reaches of the River Leigh. It covers an area of ​​43 square kilometers and has a population of 165,000.

It was the capital of Bedfordshire from 1964 to 1974. It has long been famous for the weaving of straw hats. It is an automobile manufacturing center. It also has industries such as ball bearings, precision instruments, machinery, motors and clothing. There is a main railway line to London, and there is an international airport nearby.

.There are medieval churches and technical colleges.

At this time, Luton already had an industrial foundation, and at least some car companies had established factories here. However, it had not yet formed a large scale, and most of them produced some not particularly important parts.

If Bao Zixuan had not appeared, it is estimated that Ford would have come here to build an engine assembly factory. However, because countries around the world are building technology towns, Ford did not dare to build such an important factory in the UK. Good relations are one thing, but

We must also give priority to our own country before we can expand abroad.

With the strong rise of Heiyun Motors, Ford's sales in the United States have plummeted. If the U.S. military had not launched a military vehicle replacement plan, it would have been great if Ford had not gone bankrupt; it would have had the energy and strength to develop abroad.

The same is true for other countries. At this time, Luton is like a blank sheet of paper. Heiyun Group can do whatever they want, and the land is very well coordinated. Of course, there are still many advantages here. It is very close to London, has convenient transportation, and has high technology.

There is no problem with talent pool either.

The day after the meeting with the Bentley management, I took the team directly to Luton. People in Heiyun Group have long been accustomed to Bao Zixuan's working style; it seems as if they don't know how tired they are. The boss works so hard, what else do they have?

Reason for not working hard.

Of course the Mayor of Luton knew that Bao Zixuan came to the UK, and also knew the purpose of his coming. He just didn't expect that such a good thing could happen to him. Bao Zixuan and Heiyun Group had invested in many cities in the past, and no matter what, they would take turns.

Not as good as Luton. Compared with many cities, Luton has no advantages at all.

In fact, Bao Zixuan came to Luton for another purpose, and that was to visit the retired Governor of Hong Kong, MacLehose. They were old acquaintances in any way, and I wanted to come over to see him. And I also wanted to express an attitude. Bao Zixuan would definitely

Never forget his roots. Anyone who has helped him will remember him.

It's strange to say that I have never been here after studying in the UK for two years, so my impression of Luton is still in the past life. However, compared with the previous life, the difference between Luton now and Luton is very big, at least Bao Zixuan can't believe it.

The news of Heiyun Group's acquisition of Bentley Motors has spread in the UK and may have been known to the whole world at this time. This shows that Bao Zixuan is serious about coming here and really wants to invest.

The acquisition of Bentley Motors is just the appetizer, and the engine R&D and manufacturing center is the big deal. This is a project that the whole UK is paying attention to, and the mayor of Luton does not dare to neglect it.

Seeing Bao Zixuan's arrival, a middle-aged man smiled and said: "Hello, Sir Bao, I am Charlie Xiao, the mayor of Luton. I am very happy that you can come to Luton. I believe you will not be disappointed here."

Looking at the middle-aged man in front of me, I have basically no impression. It means that his position in the UK will not be very high in the future. I just don't know if the dark cloud will settle, whether his destiny will change and the tide will rise.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Thank you for the warm reception, Mr. Mayor. I heard that Luton is very good in Xiangjiang. When I come to the UK this time, of course I have to do a good inspection."

"Actually, not only me, but all Xiangjiang businessmen know the existence of Luton. Governor MacLehose has done a lot of advertisements. I don't know how he lives here. I also want to visit this time. As an old friend,

Shouldn’t we be invited to a meal?”

After MacLehose returned to the UK, he was made a life peer by the Queen of England. This was the same as Bao Zixuan, and he also entered the House of Lords and continued to participate in politics. But at this time, there were nearly 1,000 people in the British House of Lords, and the old man had almost no rights. More

It's just a kind of comfort to my heart.

When I heard that Bao Zixuan came over, it was MacLehose's promotion. He also introduced Luton to many Xiangjiang businessmen. Charlie Xiao really wanted to slap himself. This old man MacLehose actually has such influence. How come he doesn't?

Think of it!

Even if he is not influential, he can be a very good teacher with so many years of political experience. It is really wrong to leave such a big thigh untouched.

Charlie Shaw: "Sir MacLehose has been living here and only occasionally goes to Scotland. I have no problem here and can visit at any time."

In fact, we can’t blame Charlie Shaw, after all, the situation in the UK is very different.

There are too many aristocrats in the UK, and MacLehose is not even a hereditary aristocrat, and cannot be ranked at all. Moreover, retirement is retirement without any rights. No one can often disturb the life of a retired elderly person, and there is no need.

Now that Bao Zixuan mentioned the Xiangjiang businessmen, he remembered the difference between MacLehose. As long as this old guy comes forward, the Xiangjiang businessmen must still be willing to come and invest. After all, he is the longest-serving Governor of Xiangjiang, and he is not the only one who is outstanding.

The place is so simple. I must have many friends in Xiangjiang, and there are more of them from the wealthy class.

Bao Zixuan has already thought about establishing an engine R&D and manufacturing center in Luton. The advantages here are the most obvious, but it is just a cover. To put it bluntly, using the name of MacLehose can not only leave a good impression on the British

; When negotiating in the end, you will be more proactive.

Heiyun Group doesn't have to come here, it's just someone who recommended it. The people of Luton don't dare to make too many demands. If Bao Zixuan is angry and gets away, he won't get anything. It's definitely true and false, killing two birds with one stone.
