"Mr. Bolin, how is the negotiation progressing?"

"Mr. Bolin, what is your personal investment in this acquisition?"

"There are reports that after you acquire a coastal power plant, you will reduce costs through a large number of layoffs to improve short-term operating efficiency, and thus cash out on the market..." …

When Arthur finished his visit and walked out of the coastal power plant office building, he was surrounded by reporters who were squatting. Listening to various kindness or sharp questions, Arthur stopped indifferently, and looked at the reporters who were still impatient and rushing to stop after the bodyguards stopped him and said lightly.

"First of all, thank you for your concern. The negotiations went smoothly. The framework agreement has been signed and the acquisition process is progressing smoothly."

As Arthur spoke for the interview, the reporters at the scene also calmed down, listening to Arthur's answers one by one, and Arthur's mouth rose slightly and continued: "As for the question of whether the coastal power plant will be listed, I can't answer you yet. After all, the power plant has not yet been acquired. Of course, any company wants to grow and grow, it cannot be separated from the support of funds. Listing is a very good choice, but that is the future."

"Some economists believe that your acquisition is a complete speculation, a standard Wall Street barbarian, and a speculation. What you bring to the coastal power plant will only be serious debt. After the money is finished in the listing circle, you will abandon the power plant without hesitation. What do you want to respond to?"

"Haha, barbarian? Thank you for looking down on me so much." Facing the difficulties of the reporters who were constantly provoking trouble, Arthur was not angry. To be honest, in the past few days, as he announced the information about his acquisition of the coastal power plant, he has been reported on the financial pages of major media.

The names of young speculators, snakes swallow elephants, ambitious people, etc. are all pressed on their heads. Of course, it is not ruled out that someone is behind the scenes. This is the world. Even if Arthur, a young newcomer, does not make enemies, there are always some people who jump out for various purposes and want to step on them.

"In my impression, all of the so-called 'barbarians' are extremely smart and ambitious, better at and more willing to take risks. They are excellent strategists, know how to judge the situation and take advantage of the situation. They are all real business elites.

As for me, I am just a newcomer in the business world, and I am still learning everything. I’ve just started my journey!”

Arthur spoke with a calm and confident smile, which caused a "kka" camera shutter sound, "As for snakes swallowing elephants or ambitious people, I can only say that capital is barbaric, and the lion with the greatest strength is the king in the forest, which is the law of the jungle.

Similarly, the power of capital has promoted technological innovation to a certain extent and optimized resource allocation. From these processes, the world has seen a period of rapid development of world economic history, a glorious financial city, and a Wall Street that controls the lifeblood of the world's financial resources! Thank you."

After saying this, Arthur ignored the reporters who were asking questions more and more crazily. Under the escort of the bodyguards, he got into the car and turned to look at the reporters who kept slapping the window glass and shouting. Arthur just smiled slightly.

Some people say that leveraged acquisition is a capital war and a public opinion war. Arthur not only needs to easily win the coastal power plant, but also win beautifully. Through this success, he left a deep impression on the world. In addition to telling the business world that Arthur Bolin has arrived, he also wants to create a business genius character for himself.

Fame seems to be empty, not only can satisfy one's own vanity, but sometimes it can really bring benefits to oneself.

As expected, as Arthur expected, the next day, major media rushed to report his interview content. However, while Arthur looked at the controversial titles, his face was gloomy and clear, he also fully witnessed the British media's unrest and unrestrained reports, and he almost angered him to death.

"Is it a business genius or arrogance?"

"The future business giant or harms people?"

"Be careful, the young savages are starting to knock on the door!"

"A 21-year-old billionaire who has just started on the road!"

Especially the title of The Sun is undoubtedly the most hatred, "I am a billionaire, I have succeeded, and you guys are also trying to point fingers at me?" Since the first report on Arthur, the trash tabloid of The Sun has been full of hostility towards Arthur, and there are basically no normal positive reports.

Arthur really hated him, but the problem was that there was no way to deal with it, and, in England, there was no idea how many people who also hated the Sun with Arthur.

"Wait, then I will come back with revenge with capital and interest!"

Thinking of the biggest Waterloo crisis between News Corporation and Murdoch, Arthur couldn't help but squint his eyes and sneered.

However, no matter what, being able to be reported by many media is a good thing for Arthur, and controversy is undoubtedly the topic and can keep people discussing and paying attention.

Perhaps some people say that such a high exposure rate is too high-profile?

However, for the West, the lower you are, the less capable you appear, don’t make friends with you, and dare not do business. But the more you can speak, the more you can brag, and the higher your profession, the more they will feel that you can do it, dare to do business with you, and are willing to play with you!

Of course, high-profile will definitely come at a price, so Arthur has always adhered to high-profile work and low-key life. After all, Arthur also knew that one word said by the ancients could bring prosperity to the country and one word was enough to ruin the country.

The high-profile image of an entrepreneur and his outstanding words and deeds can indeed play a good role in promoting and enhancing your own business. However, everything must be stopped at the right time, otherwise it will be counterproductive.

So, after Arthur handed over the subsequent acquisition work to Angela, he took a plane to London and left Bristol.

When Arriving in London and leaving Heathrow Airport, Arthur met the reporters and paparazzi squatting in the airport again. After another chaos, he got into the car under the escort of the bodyguard and got rid of the entanglement.

He also had to sigh that this is the price of high profile and becoming famous.

However, the benefits are also obvious. When he arrived at the City's investment company and was listening to Smith Jama's report, he received a call from Barclays CEO Bob Diamond, which was about the acquisition of the coastal power plant. Barclays decided to take over and they would raise funds for Arthur's sole acquisition.

And this is undoubtedly the good news that Arthur hopes to hear the most!

"Haha, Barclays Bank has agreed to raise funds for the acquisition of the coastal power plant, so that the last trouble will be completely solved." After hanging up the phone, Arthur smiled happily and told Smith Jama, who was sitting opposite him.

"Boss, congratulations." After hearing this good news, Smith and Jama also congratulated with joy.

"Haha, to be honest, I thought Barclays would hesitate for a long time, but I didn't expect to give me a reply so soon." Arthur smiled and expressed his unexpected feeling.

"... Perhaps it is because of today's American financial report and a rumor from the Financial City a few days ago, it may be the key to making Barclays make up his mind." Hearing the boss's surprise, Smith and Jama first frowned slightly, pondered for a while, and then said with some speculation.

"Oh? What reports and rumors?" Arthur asked after being curious.

"The rumors are that the Bank of England may announce the expansion of the money supply to 225 billion pounds the day after tomorrow. Bloomberg also conducted an investigation of 60 economists based on this rumors, of which 48 economists expect the Bank of England to announce on the fifth day to expand the loose currency scale again by 50 billion pounds.

Although doing so may put the UK at risk of overstimulating the economy, an asset bubble may occur, and the pound may depreciate, it will be too late to react until the impact of policy measures is fully revealed.

I think, facing the 50 billion pounds that other banks may suddenly have increased, Barclays may be worried that we will find partners again. After all, it is no secret that you are going to acquire a coastal power plant now.

If they have conducted in-depth investigations and understanding of the coastal power plants, they will definitely know that this is a high-quality project with a profit opportunity far outweighing the risks for their banks. Then, it will be not difficult to understand their decision!" The more Smith Jama said, the more obvious the smile on his face.

"So that's it." Arthur also nodded with a smile. Barclays, the only bank that refused to fund the British government to rescue this financial crisis, still had nothing to do with the 50 billion pounds this time. And other banks that suddenly had a lot of extra money in their hands would undoubtedly try every means to mobilize these funds. In this way, if Barclays did not respond to it for a long time, they might really go to other banks to cooperate.

"If this is the case, then the rumor can basically be confirmed to be the facts. Otherwise, Barclays would not be so nervous and so happy. In this way, we can also use this news to do something."

Smith Jama's eyes turned extremely bright at Arthur, and she said with a smile: "Boss, the ten million pounds left in your hand can be used to operate and trade forex futures."

"Haha..." Arthur shook his head and laughed, "I'll give you all 15 million pounds. I'll leave more than one million pounds for emergency response. Now, I'm a billionaire, I really have no money."

"Haha." Smith Jama chuckled at Arthur's self-deprecating jokes, and admired his boss's determination and courage.
