Chapter 433 Advantages

In terms of online TV programs, Barron's owns Digital UK's Freeview platform and on-demand programs, which provide services to users through the broadband access provided by O2 Telecom.

The current situation is that companies that originally provided TV content services are adding broadband networks to embrace the Internet and shift content from TV to the Internet, such as Sky TV.

Companies that were originally engaged in the telecommunications business are now preparing to launch online video platforms. For example, it is said that British Telecom (BT), the largest telecommunications company in the UK, will launch its video platform next year...

Barron still remembers that in his previous life, in 2007, the European Union required that the broadcast rights of the Premier League should no longer be exclusively authorized. Therefore, the broadcast rights of the Premier League in the UK at that time were obtained by Sky TV and BT.

It can be seen that after entering the online video platform, BT still invested a lot in it.

This private room is very large. In addition to Prince William, there are also aristocratic children including Henry Howard, the eldest son of the Duke of Norfolk, the Lennox sisters of the Duke of Richmond's family, and of course, such as Holly. There are also many members of business families with close ties to the royal family like Branson.

When Barron came over, it was already relatively late, and as the process progressed, it was obvious that William was in a state of intoxication.

Generally speaking, although there are occasional "carnival" moments like this, most of the time, due to the education he received and the responsibilities as a member of the royal family, William rarely has such moments. But today, on the one hand, he is with his friends. The club is a very private place.

On the other hand, it is also a change in role - after he graduates, he will begin to take on more and more responsibilities, and the work of the royal family is not like that of most people, who work from 9 to 5 and always have something to do after get off work. In private life, members of the royal family need to work around the clock. At any moment, they represent the image of the royal family and the image of Britain.

It does take a process to adapt to this situation.

At William's age, at this time, it is understandable that he would like to indulge occasionally and enjoy the relaxation of being drunk.

"Let's find a hotel to send them there? Kaiser, are you okay?"

William, who was originally very active, suddenly became drunk and became a little unconscious. Therefore, faced with such a situation, Holly was still a little difficult to make a decision.

After all, with William in this state, it is definitely inappropriate to send him home. It seems better to send him to a hotel to rest temporarily, but what also needs to be considered is the hotel's confidentiality measures. If tomorrow's There are reports in the newspapers that the prince is drunk and drunk, which must be a big trouble for the royal family.

"I'm okay."

At this time, Cather's face was also rosy. When she said this, she staggered slightly. Well, it was really hard to believe that she was really okay.

"I have a villa nearby. It's no problem for them to stay there for one night."

At this time, Barron spoke.

"It would be great."

Holly was immediately relieved that Barron stepped in to deal with the situation.

Like the rest of them, although their families are either rich or noble, they are still "juniors" after all, not to mention the situation of other people. Many of them are not much better. If it is Holly who handles it, it would be best The only option was to book a hotel room for William and Cather, which was still a bit inappropriate.

Barron's bodyguards were waiting in the car outside. As soon as Barron called, they came in and helped William out of the club.

As for Cather, when Barron said he would take William and the others to his villa, she had a look of hesitation on her face and opened her mouth to speak, but then she said nothing.

But at this time, although she said that she was in good condition, she still walked to the door of the club with the support of Barron's life assistant Aliya.

Because of their identities, the motorcade had stopped at the entrance of the club, and there were bodyguards keeping an eye on them separately to prevent anyone from taking secret photos.

After they got in the car, the motorcade started, and Barron took William and Cather to his mansion at The Holme in Regent's Park.

"Miss Kaiser, this is Ms. Saran Feola. She is the housekeeper of this villa. If you have any questions, just contact her directly."

After settling the "unconscious" Prince William into a bedroom suite, Barron introduced the beautiful mature woman to Cather.

"Okay, thank you, Your Highness the Duke."

Speaking of which, although Barron did not raise any objection when he proposed to bring William and her to stay in his villa, Cather still felt a lot of nervousness and apprehension.

After all, she once had an "accidental" encounter with the young Duke in front of her, but at that time, she never imagined that the young man who had a one-night stand with her would be like this. identity……

But it was so strange. After Barron arranged for the two of them very appropriately, and left with his personnel without any other expression, Kaiser felt relieved, but also had a few more thoughts. Very inexplicable...

For Barron, if judged purely by appearance, Cather is beautiful and has a good temperament, but among his women, she is not particularly outstanding...

The only thing that can tempt people may be her status as a "princess" in the future, but for now, this is not available yet...

Therefore, there is no need for Barron to treat her anything special... Even if his predecessor had an ONS intersection with her, so what?

Sure enough, shortly after the London Stock Exchange proposed to acquire the Swedish OMX Group, their competitors appeared.

The German exchange, which has lower listing fees and transaction fees and is second only to the London Stock Exchange in terms of trading volume, has issued an offer to the Swedish OMX Group. The German exchange is willing to offer cash and stocks to the Swedish OMX Group. The group is making an acquisition. According to the current stock price, their offer is around US$3.45 billion, which is slightly higher than the offer from the London Stock Exchange.

In addition to the German exchange, the Nasdaq Group has also shown interest in the Swedish OMX Group. It is said that they have sent a team to Switzerland to contact the management of the OMX Group, and are likely to prepare to invest in the OMX Group. The group makes a quotation.

Under such circumstances, the London Stock Exchange will naturally not relax.

"We will continue to track the situation of Deutsche Börse and Nasdaq Group. Your Highness, no matter what, we will beat them in quotation."

Finn Hudson, CEO of Global Industry Fund, told Barron’s:

"As far as we know, both Nasdaq Group and Deutsche Börse have experienced more or less acquisition activities in recent times. At this time, they have no advantage over us in terms of funding."
