PS: The first to fourth are all exams before the holiday. I guess there will be two updates. Please forgive me, brothers, I will definitely make up for it after these two days. By the way, I am very unlucky today. I was caught in the cheat sheet and I guess I will fail the exam! I am depressed...

“What is the situation of the war now?”

I thought the EU would be formed at one time during negotiations, but who would have thought that at such a critical moment, the UK suddenly had a war and conflict with Argentina. Most of the UK's energy was focused on Argentina and had no intention of the EU at all. Of course, this may also be the UK's delay policy.

The reason? Who knows the specific reason? Maybe the UK feels that the formation of the EU is not conducive to the fundamental interests of the UK at this time! Or maybe he is not satisfied with the euro's proposal, after all, the pound is still firm at this time.

"There are not many dead people on both sides, mainly because of diplomacy, and they have been pushing each other. After all, Argentina's strength..."

Although James did not say it clearly, the answer was there. Can Argentina's national strength compete with Britain? It is estimated that Argentina will not be the opponent of Britain, although Britain suffered heavy losses in World War II.

"Now Mrs. Thatcher has a strong prestige. She is a strong person and has been targeting the Principal of Nord. She is not particularly friendly."

"If you are the prime minister of a big country, then I believe you won't be too friendly to joining the Principal of Nord. Let's ignore it for now. How is the progress of the forest park?"

"It has been roughly laid and the French side has communicated. They are willing to work with us to build a national forest park, but they still do not let go of some of the funds."

"Funding is not a problem. Now that citizens have money in their hands, they can participate in this project together. Smith said it right. Blindly improving welfare is not the purpose, but making citizens have money in their hands is the fundamental."

Standing in the suite of James's cabinet government office building, looking at the leisurely Nord citizens outside through the floor-to-ceiling window, Joseph answered James's questions like this.

Nord has never had his own currency. If it were not for the establishment of the EU and the euro system was proposed and the possibility of passing was very high, it is estimated that this group of cabinet members would block Joseph's door.

It was May 1982, and in half a year, Nord's GDP had surpassed last year. Although Audi's business did not improve much, other industries had grown significantly, especially the clothing industry. Since reaching a strategic partnership with several large Italian clothing manufacturers, Nord's clothing brands have reached international recognition.

Although the clothing of the Principal of Nord has always been the endorsement of luxury goods (export), in fact, many wealthy businessmen and socialites like Nord's fashion, simple and diverse styles, they have always complained about the price, believing that a new brand should not have such an outrageous price.

But after the strategic partners, several Nord clothing manufacturers agreed to cross-share shares in Italy. After jointly operating, everything was different. Inadvertently, Nord clothing industry has completed a huge cross-exhibition of the 10 billion US dollar group.

Even at this time, several Nord clothing giants were negotiating the acquisition of the Italian luxury sports car series Lamborghini, which went bankrupt a year ago. Audi also participated, but due to insufficient funds, the main direction was still from several giants in the clothing industry.

In the Forbes European Rich Rankings in 1982, several rich people from the Principality of Nord were on the list with absolute advantage. Of course, this is just a rumor, but it is indeed a fact, but the rankings are still unclear.

The open loans of Royal Nord Bank of Nord have greatly improved the industry and commerce of the Principal of Nord, especially when the government is an assistant, many Nord local companies have deep or shallow cooperation with major industry giants around the world.

"Your Highness, Audi is planning to borrow $2 billion in cash from the bank, because the amount is relatively large, Rupert wants to ask you for your opinion."

Rupert is the newly appointed Minister of Commerce, and Royal Bank is under his jurisdiction. He is also a top student in business administration at a prestigious college, and can be regarded as a typical academic official in the Principality of Nord.

"Two billion dollars? What big moves does Audi have?"

At first, Joseph was shocked. After all, Audi is still the core economic pillar of the Principal of Nord. If something happens, it will undoubtedly be a devastating disaster for the Principal of Nord. But then he thought clearly that if there is really something, it would never be delayed until today. Since that is the case, it can only be that Audi itself needs to take action.

To be honest, Joseph didn't want to see such a situation. He was willing to see domestic companies fighting hard, but Audi was no longer easy to bet than other companies!

James obviously knew this, so he seemed a little hesitant when he spoke. He refused to be reckless and gambling, but the proposal of the Audi president was very attractive, and some of the figures made even James feel impulsive.

"Audi has always been the definition of mid-to-high-end cars, but we lack the top car series. This time Audi is preparing to acquire a world-class sports car brand to establish Audi's position in the automotive industry."

"Premium sports car? Lamborghini?"

This is the brand that Joseph thought of at the first time. After all, several wealthy people in the Nord clothing industry are now negotiating this matter, but it is not. After all, Lamborghini is more likely to be acquiring it than a stake. After all, those in the Italian clothing industry are the real people who spend money.

"It was Bugatti Veyron. The Great Depression of the world economy and the Second World Class War have greatly affected the Bugatti Veyron. It is now facing bankruptcy. If nothing unexpected happens, it can buy everything from engineers to brands and technology for only 300 million US dollars. However, Bugatti Veyron now has a lot of debts owed."

Bugatti Veyron? This is a famous sports car series. Even Joseph, who was ignorant of cars in his previous life, was well-known for this name. Now Audi wants to acquire this brand?

Joseph was not overwhelmed by this name because he understood that many well-known car brands were actually very profitable, such as Rolls-Royce, Lamborghini, which the richest men in the Nord clothing industry wanted to invest in, and Bugatti Veyron.

It is difficult for a single top-class sports car to make profits. Only when the same large, medium and high-end automobile group cooperates or even merges can it achieve its maximum effect. Their main purpose is not to make money but to be famous and improve the grade of other vehicles in the group.

For example, Audi companies nowadays, although Audi series of cars have always been well received and their annual sales can almost be a miracle, if you want to make another breakthrough, it is essential to own a top sports car brand.

Audi A1 is 10,000 US dollars? Is this a bit expensive? What? The Bugatti Veyron is also under Audi. Since that's the case, then 10,000 US dollars is indeed not much.

The benefits that a top sports car brings to an automobile group are not only these, they are just a small foundation. The biggest real role is that a complete system of automobile groups has an extraordinary international status.

"In principle, I agree to this loan. Rupert will decide on the specifics, but I hope he can take this matter carefully. After all, you should be clear about Audi's position in Nord."

"I know what to do, how about the recent course? Your Highness!"

The state affairs came to an end. As Joseph's former housekeeper, James rarely teased Joseph, and Joseph's face became a little entangled and a little sad.
