Chapter 400, Boleyn Castle(1/2)
Nan Yi shook his head again and continued to talk about work.
"I'm not very interested in Rolls-Royce, and it's too expensive to get it. I'm very interested in Bentley."
"But the president, Rolls-Royce may not be willing to sell Bentley. If we want to get Bentley, wouldn't we have to attack Rolls-Royce?"
"This may not be necessary. In fact, Bentley is a useless trick for Rolls-Royce. You see, there is no difference between the two brands except the brands. Bentley just copied the Rolls-Royce model."
"Chairman, you can't say that. Now Bentley's sales exceed Rolls-Royce, and it is the highest-selling among high-end car brands and one of the main sources of profits for Rolls-Royce. Rolls-Royce may not be willing to let go.
Moreover, if Bentley is acquired by others, it will become a competitor of Rolls-Royce. I think this is also something Rolls-Royce doesn't want to see.
Rolls-Royce would rather hide this brand than sell it to others. After all, Rolls-Royce has done something to hide Bentley before."
"Yeah." Nan Yi nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. Rolls-Royce will definitely not let Bentley go easily unless we are willing to pay a sky-high price. So, if you want to get Bentley, we need to save the country in a curve and also need allies. Which companies do you think are interested in Rolls-Royce?"
Masami Uedo thought for a while and said, "BMW and Volkswagen must be interested in Rolls-Royce, maybe they need to add a Fiat."
"Forget it, BMW and Volkswagen are suitable to be our allies, especially BMW. They have always been very interested in Rolls-Royce. If they have the opportunity to acquire this brand, they will definitely be willing. Then tell me, how should we win this allies?"
"President, are you going to take the test for me?"
Nan Yi shrugged and said, "Just treat it as a fun."
Masami Uedo smiled and said, "This question is not difficult at all, as long as we take the controlling stake in Rolls-Royce Aero Engine Company.
In the 1960s, Boeing found that the investment required for passenger aircraft engine research and development was too great, so they closed their engine research and development department and outsourcing the business. The one who took over this life was the engine research and development department of Rolls-Royce.
Who knows, this is a pit.
Rolls-Royce took over this job and continued to invest for more than ten years, and was heavily in debt and almost went bankrupt.
Later in 1971, the cabinet intervened and Rolls-Royce was reorganized. The company was divided into two companies, automobiles and aircraft engines.
Since then, Rolls Reus Aviation Engine Company has been independent.
The brand names of Rolls-Royce and Rolls-Royce are both rolls Royce, which is Rolls-Royce, and the Rolls-Royce brand is actually in the hands of Rolls-Royce.
As long as we can control Rolls-Royce, that is, if we master the Rolls-Royce brand, we can discuss cooperation with BMW. They will win Rolls-Royce and we will win Bentley."
Nan Yi snapped his fingers and said, "There is no problem with the idea, it can be said that it is great, but there are still a lot of troubles to actually execute it. You must first take down Catherine Boling, and then you have to establish a connection with Thatcher and Bobby Wesley."
"Isn't we here this time just for this?" Masami Uchito shrugged.
"You are right, take your time and work hard." Nan Yi leaned on the back of the chair, shook left and right a few times, and said, "Tomorrow you call Rachel and my grandmother, let the richest man Weiye and Aikang computer contact to see if they want to invest. If necessary, then let Fang Group follow up on the investment."
"President, are you optimistic about their core processor business?"
"Why do you say that?"
"In addition to the processor business, I couldn't think of anything else in Aicang's company worthy of your concern. When it comes to PC business, Aicang is not as good as Dell, which has just been established."
"Haha, that's right. I'm a little interested in Aikang's streamlined instruction set. Anyway, I won't invest too much, so just take a gamble."
Aicang Company is really nothing special, but it has an amazing processor department, which will be independent in the future and become an independent company.
This company is the famous Anmou Holdings, which is also known as arm.
Nanyi has decided that Nanshi still has to trek into the muddy waters of semiconductor chips, half out of public intention and half out of selfishness.
Nan Yi and his two continued their work talks, and they did not return to their respective rooms until almost eleven o'clock.
The next day, Nan Yi stayed at Downton Abbey until about 10 o'clock in the morning. Before he could see Wu Zaisheng coming, he went out.
I thought to myself, this grandson probably won't come here today.
Today in London, it was drizzling in the sky. When Nanyi's car arrived on the banks of the Thames, the rain in the sky stopped crying.
The Thames River was a little gray and a little dark after the rain. Nan Yi walked across the wheel with an umbrella and stepped on the ground, splashing ripples. There were not many pedestrians on the road, some people were holding umbrellas, and some had already taken them away.
Nan Yi seemed to be walking aimlessly, but his eyes looked at the river from time to time, and looked at the Tower Bridge not far away from time to time.
I walked slowly and soon walked onto the Tower Bridge in London and then walked to the center of the bridge.
In the middle of the bridge, a woman stood next to the guardrail.
With a six-four-point figure, a classical face full of high-end feel, looking at the side, a sense of toughness highlighted in the aphrodisiac; looking up, the woman turned her face just over, her water-cut pupils and pink eye makeup are gentle like a fairy, and her long golden hair is sweet and charming.
Seeing Nan Yi, the woman showed surprise on her face, then smiled, stepped forward, took two steps, and when the third step was about to be taken out, she pulled her legs back, stood still, and looked at Nan Yi who was walking towards her.
"Mr. Adam, why are you in London?"
Nan Yi took off the umbrella that was very tall and handed it to the side, and the school beauty took it.
Reaching to the side, Nan Yi turned around and held the guardrail with both hands, looked at the river with his eyes, then turned to look at Catherine Bolin, "Do you think it's a coincidence that we meet here?"
Katherine nodded, "Yes, I think it's a coincidence."
"But I don't think so. In fact, I know you will come here for a while these days. Today I came here just to try whether we could meet you by chance." Nan Yi shrugged and said, "It seems that there is still some fate between us. We met you."
Nanyi knew that Catherine would come to the Thames for a while these days, but the place she stayed at was different every time, and it was even a little far apart. Nanyi came straight to the Tower Bridge in London today, and he really never thought that he could run into Catherine in one go.
"You've been following me?"
"Yes, I've been staring at you since we met Kazuna last time."
"I understand. The person who rescued me from the car last time I crashed and sent me to the hospital was yours, right?" Hearing Nan Yi sent someone to stare at her, Catherine didn't think it was offended, but instead asked calmly.
"Yes."
“What’s the reason?”
"What if I say it's because I like you?" Nan Yi laughed.
"I don't believe it. Your expression is not serious enough, and I can't feel any feeling of liking me from you."
"Then your feeling is really not good enough. At least, I still like your appearance very much."
Nan Yi's words did not touch Catherine. She just asked lightly: "Adam, since you have asked me to follow me, then you should be very clear about the situation of the Bolin family, right?"
"What are you referring to, you are secretly selling antiques, not daring to sell them to locals in London, or even to their own people?"
Nan Yi's words made Catherine's face dark. Her appearance of strength and her proud noble identity seemed to have become nothingness.
Looking at Catherine who changed her face, Nan Yi comforted her: "It is impossible for a person to be calm all his life, and it is normal to encounter some twists and turns. Since I am paying attention to you, it means that you have what I need. In order to get this thing, I will definitely pay a certain price.
You need a sum of funds, a considerable sum of funds to restore the former glory of the Bolin family, and I can provide it."
Katherine stared at Nan Yi's face and asked, "What do you want from me? Do you want me to be your wife or lover?"
"Wife, unlikely, I already have a legal wife. Lover, maybe, maybe one day we will have a good impression of each other and then come together naturally."
"So, we're just a deal?"
"Right now, right?" Nan Yi took off his coat and put it on Catherine. "It's windy, let's find a cafe to sit?"
"Do you have a car?" Catherine lifted the corner of her clothes and changed into a more comfortable position.
"certainly."
"Then you don't have to go to the cafe. I invite you to visit Bolin Castle. Do you know where?"
"Know."
Nan Yi stretched out the umbrella and pushed forward diagonally to block the wind coming from the front.
...
Greenwich, near the Royal Naval Academy, the starting point of the Earth's meridian, near the Zero Degree Meridian, Boling Castle stands here.
The convoy passed through a small river and entered the outer periphery of Bolin Castle.
After Catherine's guidance, and then passing through a stone bridge on the moat, you will enter the inner circumference of Bolin Castle, and a majestic building will come into view.
However, Nan Yi's eyes were on the short buildings and bushes beside the majestic buildings.
Whether it is the building or the bushes, it gives Nan Yi a sense of old and messy feeling. It can be seen that it has not been repaired or sorted out for a long time.
Through the stone bridge, there is a sentry on the other side of the bridge, which is also lacking in repairs and no one is left inside.
Catherine turned her head, looked at the direction where Nan Yi looked, and said quietly: "The Bolin family has empty shells left. The castle has not been repaired for two years. I really can't get a repair fee of hundreds of thousands of pounds."
Nan Yi withdrew his gaze, turned to look at Catherine, reached out to pat her back, comforted her, "Don't worry, no matter whether our cooperation can be achieved or not, I can support you in the repair fee and let you repair the Bolin Castle inside and out."
In the Eagle Kingdom, there are many families like the Bolin family. The property left by their ancestors has been squandered, except for the title of aristocrat and a castle, there is nothing else.
In recent years, many nobles have moved away from their castles and turned them into ownerless things. It is impossible to sell them. Except for a few castles that have left their names in history, the rest are simply not easy to sell.
Even the castle that can be sold for one pound is already seen on the market. It is not a scam, but a real castle. However, buying a castle requires a large amount of repair costs every year.
As long as the building is qualified to be called a castle, the annual repair cost will not be less than 50,000 pounds. It will be spent year after year, and it will increase year by year.
The castle is very fresh occasionally, but after living in it for a long time, you will know its various inconveniences.
When I get tired of staying and want to sell, I will see if there is another sucker to fill this pit. If I can't sell it, then continue to pay for the repair.
If you dare not leave, Tangning Street will send someone to talk to the homeowner.
When the car drove to the gate of the main building, a man and a woman hurriedly walked out of the building, and then stood there respectfully, watching the convoy.
The car stopped, Nanyi and Katherine got out, and Katherine took Nanyi toward a man and a woman.
"count."
Among the men and women, the man said respectfully to Catherine.
