Chapter 477 The most beautiful princess
Accompanying Barron and Bonnie to visit the Borromeo Islands is Isabella. She is the eldest sister of the four Borromeo sisters. She just married Italian oil tycoon Ugo last year - their family's business. Comes from the family of Ugo's mother, and Ugo's mother is the national inspector of the Italian Red Cross and the only woman in Italy with the rank of general. This can also show the power of this family in Italy.
The Borromeo family's business involves finance, real estate and hotels. They have also invested more than 100 million euros in the DS Group's Athena Fund, which can be considered a cooperative relationship with Barron's.
"Your Highness, Madam, this is my sister Beatrice. She is currently in college."
"Hello, Miss Merrily Borromeo."
When inviting Barron and Bonnie to dinner, Isabella also introduced her sister Beatrice Borromeo to them.
Barron also heard about this youngest daughter of the Borromeo family in his previous life. Among the four daughters of the Borromeo family, she is half-brother to the other three sisters - related The story of their father jumping back and forth between the two women is actually quite bloody, so I won’t go into it here.
But leaving aside the matters of the parents' generation, the relationship between these children's generation is quite good.
Just like Beatrice's mother, she was born in an Italian textile family. Her uncle is now the president and chief designer of the luxury brand Valentino. When Beatrice's eldest sister Isabella appeared in the reporter's camera, she What I wear the most is Valentino’s clothing.
In addition, in the original time and space, Beatrice later married the Prince of Monaco and was also known as the most beautiful princess...
Now Beatrice is just 21 years old and has just studied at Bocconi University in Italy - she should not have met the prince yet.
"I wonder what major Miss Beatrice is studying now?"
Bonnie was very friendly and looked for topics of conversation with Beatrice.
Beatrice also responded:
"I'm currently studying law and economics, and I'm going to get these two degrees..."
She glanced at Barron with her beautiful eyes, and then smiled at Bonnie:
"Duchess, I studied in London before university. At that time, I liked the program you hosted very much. In fact, I am also very interested in journalism. I plan to work in this field if I have the opportunity in the future. I can continue to learn.”
"Thank you. If you have the chance to come to London again, you must come to my home. I think we will have a lot of topics to talk about."
It seems that Bonnie gets along well with the ladies, but that's normal. After all, in addition to her stunning beauty, she is also very approachable.
In addition, Barron also knew that what Beatrice just said was not a lie. In his previous life, after receiving a degree from Bocconi University, the youngest daughter of the Borromeo family went to Columbia University in the United States. , got a master's degree in journalism...
…
"Mr. Brown, I know you have just taken office recently and are very busy, but you also need to balance work and rest..."
After visiting the Borromeo Islands, Barron was invited to a dinner by Silvio Berlusconi, the current Prime Minister of Italy, who heard that he was in Italy, and then returned to London.
It is worth mentioning that at Berlusconi’s banquet, Barron also met an old friend, Berlusconi’s daughter Barbara Berlusconi. At the earliest time, Barron and Bonnie went there for the first time. When I went to Italy, I met her in Sicily, when Barbara was only 19 years old.
In addition, it is said that as Italy's longest-serving prime minister, Berlusconi... prefers to hold some kind of party. Fortunately, this time Barron came with his wife Bonnie, so he did not see the old man. Bei's bold side...
But in addition to being the Prime Minister of Italy, Bayern is also the richest man in Italy. He also owns AC Milan, runs a TV station, etc. There is no shortage of topics between him and Barron.
Now, after returning to London, Barron met Brown in Neverland, who had been in office for nearly a month - Brown is different now. After all, he has just taken office and has a lot of busy things to do. He can meet Barron in Neverland. There are far less opportunities to get together than there used to be. ,
But as Barron said, even if you are busy at work, you still need to "balance work and rest."
"I read in the newspaper that your Caesar Fund is planning to acquire Aston Martin, Jaguar and Land Rover?"
"I have this idea..."
After receiving the Caesars Fund's intention to acquire the company, it was no surprise that Ford did not waste this opportunity. This matter soon appeared in media reports and became hot news for a while.
After all, from last year to now, Caesar Fund has been buying and buying, and has bought many companies. Now it has set its sights on Ford. Such an automobile giant that is still ranked third in the world in terms of sales will attract everyone's attention. of curiosity.
Although Ford also has the idea of selling Aston Martin, Caesars Fund also wants to acquire Jaguar and Land Rover. Although they are still hesitant about this, it does not prevent them from using the news to speculate. Attract more suitors for Aston Martin and drive up prices.
In this regard, Barron said to Brown calmly:
"However, the future seems unclear at the moment. Ford has not given a satisfactory answer, and even if it is only Aston Martin, their asking price is far higher than we expected."
Before becoming Prime Minister, Brown had been serving as Chancellor of the Exchequer. Now that he has just taken office, he hopes to achieve something.
No wonder he cares about this matter. After all, the car brands Barron is planning to acquire from Ford were once British car brands. If he can really bring these brands back to England, at least to some extent, Can boost public morale.
"If the acquisition can really be completed, our government will also support you, Barron."
Barron was waiting for Brown's words. He nodded and said:
"If we can get support from the government, it will also be a good thing for the development of the British automobile industry. After all, our automobile industry once led the world, but now, almost all of it has been acquired by foreign companies. This will have a negative impact on our manufacturing industry." It is a very fatal blow to the industry, so too many jobs will be lost.”
When he talked about this, Brown also looked a little embarrassed...
There are many British car brands, such as Bentley acquired by Volkswagen, Rolls-Royce and MINI acquired by BMW, Aston Martin, Jaguar and Land Rover acquired by Ford...
Even the two brands that originally belonged to Rover Motors, Roewe and MG, were respectively bought by SAIC and Nanjing Automobile, the Chinese car companies that were not strong in the automobile industry at this time...
It can be said that there are not many car brands left in the UK. This is also something that makes the British feel disgraced.
If Barron can really buy back Ford's three British brands, it must be something worthy of support - Brown also hopes to boost the British manufacturing industry, otherwise those former industrial cities can only sell diplomas. Consider it a pillar industry.
