Chapter 197
"Boom boom boom"
The next morning, the vague noise came, causing Arthur to walk to the floor-to-ceiling window and look into the distance.
More than a dozen RVs and trucks were parked in an open area of the manor, and a group of people were busy building a blue and white super greenhouse. Wherever the circus performed, they would support the greenhouse, becoming a landscape symbolizing their strength.
The circus invited this time is a wonderful and weird circus called the Horror Circus. The circus is composed of strange and weird people from all over the world with unique skills, including visual illusions masters, hairy "werewolf", "rubber man" who has genetic mutations and is a lucky person, and a singer who is born with cartilage magic...
Since the last century, European aristocrats have had the tradition of watching circuses such as dwarfs and disabled people performing circuses, but this kind of performance is almost extinct in modern times.
To what the leader of this circus said, the horror circus is a big family formed for people like them, where they will not be discriminated against because of strange things.
However, to be honest, although Arthur did not discriminate against these strange monsters, he also felt a bit heavy. However, after meeting all the members who came here this time, Arthur had to sigh that the horror circus was indeed well deserved, but it was full of fright and fear. It was definitely the most suitable program for Halloween parties, and it was definitely worth the ticket price.
On the contrary, Eddie and Emilia were full of interest in this circus. They not only communicated with the members of the circus, but also exclaimed from time to time.
With the arrival of the circus, the entire Bolin Manor was completely broken and became extremely lively and busy.
The media reports made the people of all the surrounding towns and villages know about the carnival party prepared by Bolin Manor for Halloween. Not only did it attract many media reports, but even the investment in the 100 stalls prepared by the housekeeper Paul was completed in a blink of an eye. There were also many calls to consult. The housekeeper Paul even wanted to expand the number of stalls again.
Seeing this Halloween carnival party getting bigger and bigger, Arthur really didn't know whether to cry or laugh. In the end, before Halloween eve arrived, many people who watched the fun began to gather in Bolin Manor. Curious people had to invite police to enter the venue in advance to maintain public order.

"...Paul, I regret it a little." In the study, Arthur looked at the circus area in the distance of the manor, which was crowded with people and bustling, and said to Paul, who was a little amused and laughed.
"Ahem, sorry, lord, I didn't expect that people would be so enthusiastic about the first opening of Bolin Manor. However, lord, this Halloween carnival has earned £100,000. After deducting the invitation fee and security management fee of the horror circus, we still have a surplus of £30,000.
The horror circus will stay for three days, and the box office of these three days belongs to us. In the morning, I also received calls from many companies. They intend to set up billboards and promote them at the carnival. They will send people to negotiate in the afternoon and get a few advertising fees at that time."
"..." Hearing the report from the butler Paul, Arthur was speechless. No wonder he couldn't see his figure all day. Arthur couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, "I didn't expect it to be so profitable!"
"The main thing is novelty and curiosity. Whether it is the opening of our manor or the horror circus, under the hype of the media, the people around us were all driven. In fact, even the horror circus did not expect that so many viewers would buy tickets to watch the show. Captain Haze said half-seriously and half-jokingly that he regretted being booked by us, but he didn't expect the box office to be so popular.
After three days of performance, every show is full, we will definitely make a big profit after deducting the cost of the venue. This is also an unintentional cultivation, but we have reaped abundant fruits." The butler Paul smiled and reported.
"Okay, there are two days left, you are fully responsible." Although Arthur's wealth will not take any action on this little money, he is still very happy that he can be self-sufficient and have such a great influence.
"Okay, lord." The housekeeper Paul replied with a smile.
When the butler Paul left, Arthur looked at the lively scene in the distance and smiled slightly. When he first came here, didn’t he just want to open up the manor to develop it?
Thinking about it now, I was unintentionally planting willows and willows. Anyway, he would not spend too much time living in the castle for a long time in the future. After all, if he wants to start a career, London is where he should stay.
International metropolis are the basis for the future prosperity of the world.
Thinking of his career, Arthur's face changed slightly and his brows frowned slightly. The acquisition negotiation team, led by Angela, had already contacted and started preliminary negotiations with the board of directors of the Coast (Natural Gas) Power Station in Bristol.
Regarding the acquisition, the board of directors of Bristol's coastal (natural gas) power stations did not show any rejection or even welcome it, which was exactly in line with Angela's original understanding and the situation when she introduced her to Arthur.
However, things are not that simple, because the other party thought that it would sell 50% of the equity, but the acquirer could only get dividends, but could not interfere with the management and operation rights of the power plant, and existed only as an investor.
Not to mention Arthur, even Angela, who planned a completed business empire for Arthur, could not agree to such a request. Not only did she directly reject the other party's negotiating team's "ridiculous and rude" request, but she also threatened the other party's negotiating team on the spot to invite an acquisition.
Although Arthur may spend more money on this way, it is undoubtedly a threat to disaster for the power plant management team to form a negotiation team.
Because once Angela sends an official letter to invite the acquisition of the coastal (natural gas) power station in Bristol, the management of the power plant must inform each shareholder of the acquisition details. The British government, which is eager to sell its shares in the power plant and raise funds to alleviate the fiscal deficit, is definitely a great news.
Once Arthur invites the acquisition successfully, and wins a majority stake and becomes the major shareholder and actual owner of the power plant, then these management teams who have little thoughts and do not want to let go of management will face a major purge from the new boss.
This situation is undoubtedly a situation where both sides suffer losses, and it is also a situation that no one wants to see.
After all, Arthur's money was not caused by the strong wind. If 200 million yuan can be done, spending one pound more is a loss. Moreover, it is really a stalemate with the current management. Even if the acquisition is successful and the disobedient ones will be kicked away, it will also cause a temporary turmoil in the power plant, which will undoubtedly affect the operation of the power plant and cause unnecessary losses.
"...So at present, the negotiations are still in a stalemate. What the management of the coast (natural gas) power station in Bristol is that once you take over, some of their jobs will not be secured, which is the biggest focus difficulty. Mobile::
But we cannot give them a positive promise. After all, no one knows what will happen in the future. We cannot put ourselves in shackles. Human rights must not be used for transactions. Otherwise, even if we successfully acquire, it will be difficult for us to completely control the power plant!"
Listening to Angela's explanation and analysis on the phone, Arthur nodded deeply, pondered for a while and said, "You are right. Since you have become a major shareholder, I naturally hope to complete control of the power plant, management rights, operation rights, personnel rights, financial control rights, etc., all of which must be grasped. They are just my employees!
To be honest, I hate what they are doing now, which is beyond the scope of their management personnel's authority, and they actually threaten investors and shareholders. I definitely won't use such people!
In this way, Angela you can contact management privately and make a promise to them alone. Within a year, I will not touch them. As long as they have the ability, they will not touch them in the future. Of course, if they do not have the ability, I can only apologize.
Also, to dismantle them from the inside, let them ‘recommend’ the person who takes the lead, I think this unstable factor is the object we must cut off. I hate the people below, even if they have the ability, can’t put their own position right, and want to get something that does not belong to him, I will never use it!"
