Chapter 946 Benefit Distribution

"I wonder what you are talking about?"

After Barron came over, Princess Kaiser's smile faded slightly and she returned to her dignified appearance.

"We were talking about some women's things. I heard the princess said that Prince George is also very cute. We made an appointment to see the little prince in two days."

Hearing Ivanta's words, Barron suddenly realized that she and Cather both have little boys. Ivanta's son Theodore TP is slightly older than Prince George. In this regard, the two do have a lot in common. .

At this time, Prince William also came here and heard them talking about their son, Prince George. He said to Barron with a smile on his face:

"I heard that George often went to your place to play with the children. I want to thank you for taking care of them, Barron."

"Nothing, I am George's godfather, and it seems that my children also like the little prince very much, especially George, who is very fond of his younger brother with the same name..."

What Barron was talking about was his and Bonnie's eldest son, George Cavendish, who has the same name as the "Prince of Cambridge" George Alexander Louis.

It’s just that when Barron was talking about this with Prince William, Princess Kaiser’s eyes beside Prince William drifted, as if she had thought of something...

After this banquet, the relationship between Ivanta and Princess Kaiser began to become closer.

After all, although Kaiser is now the princess, the so-called "hou family is as deep as the sea", let alone the royal family...

She is still very curious about Ivanta, a strong woman with an "independent personality" who can take charge of such a huge company as IC Capital, and is willing to establish closer contact with her to broaden her network.

From Ivanta's point of view, if there is an opportunity to establish some kind of connection with the royal family, she is also willing to run it - after all, although the United States is no longer following the European trend, the royal family, especially the British royal family, In the upper class society of the United States, it still has a certain significance...it has a close relationship with the royal family, just like the luxury goods with noble blood consumed by famous ladies.

…

Before Ivanta left London, in addition to stabilizing the situation of Sky Group after IC Capital completed the acquisition, he also agreed on two things with Barron.

When she talked to Sky Group CEO Remy Darroch about merging Sky TV's online platform with DailyVedio to unify the online broadcast platform, it was actually Barron's instruction from the beginning.

In this way, in the field of global streaming media platforms, Netflix and YouTube, which will be relatively strong in the future, will also be able to compete with DailyVedio in Europe.

However, a problem that also needs to be solved is that after Sky Group's streaming media platform is merged into DailyVedio, although DailyVedio's content will be enriched and the user scale will be greatly expanded, the distribution of interests among DailyVedio's shareholders needs to be balanced. of.

Currently, DailyVedio’s shareholders include three parties, Digital Future Investment Company, SEM Group and O2 Telecom.

Previously, many of the official broadcast contents on DailyVedio came from SEM Group, which is its largest content provider, so it is inevitable that SEM Group has an interest in it.

As for O2 Telecom, in order to compete with the video service business of British Telecom (BT), its competitor in the broadband business, it also needs DailyVedio...

As for Digital Future Investment Company, as a subsidiary of Caesars Fund that focuses on venture capital investment in Internet technology, they have helped DailyVedio make many acquisitions in streaming media technology and video-related technologies over the years to enrich its technology. Strength is also an integral part of DailyVedio.

Now that Sky Group wants to merge its streaming media platform business into DailyVedio and provide content for it, it will naturally need to occupy enough shares in DailyVedio to be in the interests of Sky Group.

Otherwise, although DailyVedio has more users and a higher market share, if the shareholding ratio is not enough, it is better for Sky Group to continue to promote their own streaming media platform business.

Do you think the rise of Netflix will compress the streaming business of these single media groups in the future? How many people can see this now? However, if Sky Group feels that its interests are damaged during the current merger with DailyVedio, it will also affect IC Capital's control over them.

Therefore, these matters still need to be discussed slowly and slowly with the other three shareholders of DailyVedio. According to Barron's estimation, it is appropriate for Sky Group to eventually occupy 25%-30% of the shares in DailyVedio, and O2 Telecom , with the globalization of business, it is also acceptable to give up some shares of DailyVedio.

Another thing is about the Android company.

Prior to this, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) conducted an investigation into "unfair competition" in some services and applications within the Android system.

After this, relevant EU agencies also announced that they would investigate the Android system...

Ivanta believes that the investigation against the FTC will not pose a big threat to IC Capital and Android - because before this, last year, the FTC also had a similar investigation, but it ended up in vain. After the FTC proposed three areas that needed improvement, Android was "optimized" and was lightly let off.

This time, she is also confident that she can reach a private settlement with the FTC, and she doesn't even need to pay a fine.

But on the EU side, although the problem will not be too big, you have to know that because the EU is weak in the Internet, and the United States also likes to catch a little braid and issue huge fines to European companies, the EU often "returns the favor"...

Including Microsoft, Google, Yahoo and other American IT giants have received high-priced fines in the EU. Now Ivanta does not want to deal with the FTC in the United States, but be fined by the EU, so she hopes that Barron can come forward to coordinate.

This is also because Android is a pure "American company" on the surface, with IC capital, and has nothing to do with Barron, so the EU seems to have no scruples when it takes action.

But this situation is also what Barron does not want to see, and he will naturally use his own connections to smooth the matter.

After all, after communicating with the EU about Alstom's acquisition of Bombardier last time, Barron also contacted relevant EU institutions.

After dealing with these things, Ivanta said goodbye to Barron and returned to America on her private plane.

Before this, Barron had bought several business jets at one time, one of which was a Gulfstream G650, which was generally used by Ivanta, and it was already Ivanta's private jet.

The fuselage of this aircraft is sprayed with the "IvanCa" logo.
