Chapter 308 Mrs. Hall
Compared to Uniqlo, it seems that Four Seasons Hotel is more likely to be acquired.
Because Prince Walid is currently also a shareholder of this hotel, Global Industrial Investment Fund can try to cooperate with the other party three years in advance to privatize the Four Seasons Hotel, and even try to get more shares...
Barron handed both goals to GII Fund CEO Finn Hudson, which can be regarded as the other party's first test after taking office.
"Your Highness the Duke, it is a little regrettable that you can also consider our Northen Rock Bank for your latest loan... We cooperated very happily last time."
"Haha, I will definitely do it next time, as long as Northen Rock Bank can give me a corresponding loan ratio..."
"We will definitely give you the best conditions."
I met Colin Hall again. During the conversation with Barron, he also mentioned the loan made by DS Capital.
It seems that this "old friend" is really concerned about him.
It has to be said that when a person's position is higher, all he sees when looking down are smiling faces.
Just like in this banquet, everyone who saw Barron had an affectionate and even flattering smile.
Like Colin Hall, Barron didn't care at all how the expression on the other person's face would change when he turned around after seeing the smile.
"Hello, Your Highness the Duke, I have heard my daughter talk about you. I am very happy to meet you today."
"It's also a pleasure to see you here, Sir Branson."
This man with a bright smile and long gray hair is Richard Branson, the founder of the Virgin Group, and the father of Holly Branson, whom Barron had met before.
It can be said that in the UK, you can find the Virgin Group almost everywhere you look - in the UK, the awareness rate of the Virgin brand is as high as 96%, and 95% of them can name Virgin. The founder is Branson.
This is also because Richard Branson has almost become the spokesperson of the entire Virgin Group. Many of his actions have made the brand topical and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
For example, every time Virgin brand is extended, Branson will personally perform a unique show.
He once filmed a Virgin Energy commercial wearing only briefs with Pamela Anderson, the heroine of the American soap opera "Baywatch"...
He once promoted Virgin mobile phones on the streets of London with 20 almost naked models under the slogan "What you see is what you get"...
He drove a tank into Times Square in New York City to promote the Virgin Records chain's entry into the United States...
He flew to New Delhi and rode a white elephant to the Indian Parliament to address...
He once ran naked along the beach of the English Channel...
It was his outrageous actions that made his red and white Virgin brand rank first in the "Selection of the Most Famous Brands for British Men" and third in the "Selection of the Most Famous Brands for British Women".
In a 2001 BBC poll, he was rated as the second most inspiring figure, higher than Jesus.
Although Barron admires Richard Branson's passion for starting a business, of course he cannot learn from his approach.
But during the communication between the two, Barron could still feel that this was a very interesting person.
"I will have a party in a few days and I have invited many friends. I would be very honored if I could invite you, Your Highness the Duke."
It seems that Holly Branson's party-loving personality really comes from her family.
"Sure, why not?"
"Haha, then I'll wait for you to come. The dance will start soon. If I, an old guy, take up your time anymore, I'm afraid those girls can kill me with just their eyes..."
After his joke, sure enough, in the hall on one side, the lights dimmed slightly and the music sounded...
Sure enough, as Branson said, after seeing him leave, bold girls began to walk towards Barron.
Today is a gathering of London entrepreneurs. Most of the ladies present are their female dependents. From the looks of the women here, we can also see where beauty resources, like wealth, are gathered.
But Barron doesn't want to be entangled with those girls. How should I say, although quite a few of these daughters of big families also have good looks, Barron doesn't want to provoke them. He doesn't have that many now. Put your time and energy into this kind of thing.
So when Barron's eyes swept across and saw a figure, he smiled and walked towards the person...
"Catherine...oh no, Mrs. Hall, may I have the honor of dancing with you?"
Catherine, the wife of Colin Hall and the former fiancée of Barron's brother, never expected that Barron would come up to her and issue an invitation.
When she saw Barron walking in her direction, she subconsciously wanted to escape.
But although it seemed that Barron's steps were very calm, his speed was very fast. When she turned slightly sideways, Barron had already arrived in front of her and issued an invitation.
"Ba...Duke Cavendish..."
As Barron walked over, many girls also looked at Catherine, which made her polite words stay in her throat, and she finally said:
"OK."
Very gentlemanly, he held up Catherine's extended hand and brought her onto the dance floor...
"Sometimes the arrangement of fate is very wonderful, isn't it? I never imagined that one day I would call you Mrs. Hall..."
"Barron, I..."
Catherine was nearly half a head shorter than Barron. Looking from Barron's perspective, her eyes met hers and then quickly moved away. Only her voice reached her ears:
"I regret……"
"Actually, it's nothing. Everyone has their own choice. I can understand it, Mrs. Hall."
Barron still had an elegant smile on his face. As for what he was thinking in his heart, he would not show it.
In fact, when Barron came over at first, he really wanted to take advantage of this moment to ask the woman in front of him why she married Colin Hall when her "ex-fiancé" had just passed away.
But suddenly, he was no longer in the mood to find the answer. After all, no matter what, the facts were the facts, and this could not be changed.
Everyone can find various reasons for their behavior, even if that behavior hurts others.
Besides, I'm not a moral policeman, and I don't have any deep feelings for the good brother from my predecessor.
If it weren't for Colin Hall's various behaviors that really made Barron wary, he wouldn't want to waste time on such bloody things.
"Mr. Hall, return your wife to Zhao intact..."
After Barron and Catherine finished dancing, Barron saw Colin Hall standing on the side of the dance floor.
"I believe you also have a lot to reminisce about."
"Haha, indeed, but what I am more grateful for is that Mrs. Hall blocked some dance partners for me..."
Barron didn't want to waste any more time here, when he noticed some "eager" eyes.
