Chapter 188 Exploded
In this public opinion incident, Barron once again reached a certain tacit understanding with the Prime Minister. In the end, the CMA ended its investigation of O2 Telecom, stating that O2 Telecom's promotional activities did not constitute "malicious competition", and the matter was settled. In addition, during this visit to China, the company under his name also joined his business team.
This visit will focus on business cooperation, and some cooperation agreements will also be reached, including some of Barron's investments in China.
On July 22, Cavendish Hotel Group held a groundbreaking ceremony for the Devonshire Bund Hotel, which invested 100 million pounds in Shanghai.
A new building with a similar style will be built next to the original Bund Two, connected to the original old building.
It is expected that the new building will be completed within a year, and by 2005, the Devonshire Bund Hotel will be officially open for operation.
The Prime Minister attended the ceremony and delivered a speech, expressing his hope to deepen business exchanges and cooperation between Britain and the devil, so as to achieve a win-win situation.
In addition to the investment from Cavendish Hotel Group, Argos CEO Nathan Ellington also signed a purchase order with a total value of 100 million pounds with Zhejiang Province, and will cooperate with local manufacturers to authorize the production of Argos' own brand of many products.
Originally, this time Argos only hoped to conduct a small-scale cooperation attempt at the beginning. Although they had recognized the production capabilities of many factories in Zhejiang Province during previous inspections, they wanted to be more cautious in their first cooperation.
However, it happened to be just in time for this visit, and Barron also believes that within the quality system of Argos, replacing its own brand products with "Made in China" is the "killer trump card" for Argos's next expansion and development, so it directly promotes This time, a large order of 100 million pounds was signed.

Different from "The Traitors" previously produced by Summit Studio, the new love variety show "Love Island" produced this time has a mechanism to eliminate guests through public voting, so the filming and broadcasting are almost simultaneous.
Of course, this kind of production method will also greatly test the production capabilities of Summit Studio.
Fortunately, it seems they are doing a good job so far.
This program has been broadcast on SDTV for two episodes so far and has been a great success!
Its ratings are no less than "The Traitors", and it is more topical than it.
It can be said that "Love Island" has only been broadcast for two weeks and has become the hottest topic among young people across the UK.
You can find that no matter where they are, young people will always talk about their opinions on the various guests of the variety show "Love Island", and the guests have their own supporters and different camps have emerged.
The reason why this reality show is so topical is because the scale of the love variety show "Love Island" is indeed beyond those of previous love variety shows.
You can know it by giving an example.
The male and female guests participating in the variety show "Love Island" will be re-matched in each episode and choose their "bed partners"...
Yes, this "bed partner" is literally that.
After mutual selection and selecting a "bed partner", the man and woman will live in the same room and on the same bed until the next time they choose again!
And these young, hormonal, and extremely bold young people, under the ubiquitous cameras in the villa, had many extremely intimate behaviors, and even acted after feeling...
Of course, in the feature films broadcast by SDTV, because it is a channel broadcast to the public, they still pay great attention to the scale in editing.
However, the Freeview platform also provides paid on-demand "extended version" that contains more content, and the footage in it is very rich.
It brings together the most popular attractions of the audience such as sunshine, swimming pools, handsome men, beauties, and bikinis. In addition, due to the elimination mechanism of the competition, there are often horse-catching plots. Naturally, "Love Island" has become the most popular British reality show this year. The biggest winner - well, even after only two episodes aired, this is already certain.
The most intuitive data is that in the month after "Love Island" was broadcast, Digital UK received more than 2 million applications for the installation or replacement of upgraded set-top boxes with on-demand functions, which was the number last month. three times!
You should know that the upgraded set-top box is not free to install, it costs up to 199 pounds!
This is not like an ordinary set-top box. Due to the expansion of production capacity and the reduction of costs, the deposit for the latest ordinary version of the set-top box made in China has been reduced to 200 pounds - this deposit is eventually refundable.
The purpose of Digital UK itself is to expand the base of ordinary users as soon as possible so that more viewers can watch the TV channels on the Freeview platform.
Therefore, in the past, they focused on the production of set-top boxes on ordinary versions of set-top boxes.
After the broadcast of "Love Island", users' demand for digital program on-demand services was greatly promoted. It was also from this time that PUMA Electronics adjusted its production and increased the proportion of upgraded set-top boxes produced in its Chinese factories.
As for Puma Electronics' original production factory in England, it has now mainly become their technology research and development center.
It is also necessary to maintain a certain production capacity, or the number of employees, locally.
Therefore, Puma Electronics' British factories are currently producing their most advanced, most technologically advanced, and most profitable new generation products.

The filming of "Love Island" takes a full two months, and their "islanders" will be filming in isolation during this period.
However, during this period, she did not need to stay on the island all the time. She could still return to London to meet Barron.
After all, the distance from Spain to England is not too far.
"My dear, when I came back to London from Mallorca, it feels like summer has turned into autumn...Why, aren't you happy to see me back?"
"No way, I'm just so happy, baby."
When he saw Bonnie again, Barron didn't explain too much, and first had a good intimacy with her.
"Hate, don't mess up my clothes. I have to go to the SEM building later. I need to finish editing the next program today."
"There's no need to rush, honey. I'll pick you up tonight?"
"Maybe it will be later. I can just come back by myself. I want to go see my cousin first after get off work. I called her that day. I feel that she is still not in good condition. I am a little worried..."
Hearing Bonnie's words, Barron felt his eyelids twitch. He pretended to be calm and said:
"Maybe it's your misunderstanding. I saw Bute and his wife two days ago and I think she looks pretty good. By the way, my dear, I have something to tell you..."
"What's going on?"
Looking at Bonnie looking over, the tenderness in her eyes almost overflowed...
"I love you babe."
Suddenly hearing the other party's confession, Bonnie's smile bloomed:
"Me too, honey."
She gave Barron a kiss:
"Is this what you want to say to me?"
"Well, I'll tell you when I get back in the evening."
"Why are you so mysterious? I'll go to the company first, my dear."
