Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

Chapter 542: £22.84 million

In the next few days, George Berkeley reported to Xia Yu on the latest acquisition progress.

Facts have proved that in the face of acquisitions by absolute majority shareholders, scattered minority shareholders are basically wise not to resist.

So there is no need for five days at all. On the afternoon of the fourth day, that is, on the afternoon of January 24, the last minority shareholder sold his 2.4% stake.

So far, 100% of the shares of the Financial Times Group were acquired by Xia Yu's Bright Fund, which cost £22.84 million!

When the Pearson Group negotiated with Bright Fund, the news was faintly revealed.

After completing the transaction with the Pearson Group, the reputation of the Bright Fund gradually became louder, and some media focused on the Bright Fund.

After the wholly-owned holding was completed, the reputation of Bright Fund spread throughout the financial market, not only in the media industry, but also in the financial industry.

Just because the Financial Times Group is too special, it is the number one financial newspaper in the UK, and it also holds half of the equity of the number one financial magazine "The Economist", which has a wide range of influence in the British elite.

It even has a deep influence in the financial markets of various European countries!

Now it is this company that has changed ownership, so they can't help but look at them, and then they are investigating the sacredness of this unheard of Bright Fund.

However, Xia Yu has already dealt with the company offshore, so the legal person George Berkeley is on the surface, and Xia Yu is just one of George Berkeley’s partners.

Although Xia Yu had to actively expose some information for political aspirations, this information was only exposed to those who needed to know, and he had to be half-concealed skillfully in order to remain mysterious and prevent others from making ideas lightly.

But now, before the initiative is exposed, it is natural to hide it well and push George Berkeley out.

Of course, if others can find it, it is also the skill of others!

Therefore, George Berkeley, who completed the acquisition of the Financial Times Group in one hand, became famous in London, but Xia Yu's popularity is not too high.

...

Clyde Albert is the president of the Financial Times Group. Of course, he is a professional manager. He is only 48 years old. He is at a very young age. He was hired as the president of the Financial Times Group five years ago. The company is in his hands. The development is very good.

Originally, Clyde Albert was working diligently to manage the company these days. Unexpectedly, the news that the parent company Pearson Group was going to sell the company caused the company to panic.

Clyde Albert had to go to the parent company to inquire about the situation, but he was dumbfounded because the dust settled when the agreement was signed when he went.

But as a professional manager, he has a strong ability to accept. At the request of his new boss, George Berkeley, Clyde Albert returned to the company to stabilize the people while waiting for George Berkeley’s notice.

On the morning of January 25, he came to the door of the Guangming Fund.

Looking at the sign, Clyde Albert straightened his clothes, took a deep breath, and walked into the Bright Fund Company with a confident smile.

Then, under the guidance of the staff, I came to an office and saw the only two people in the room. One was George Berkeley, who I had met, and the other was a young yellow man sitting on the main seat. .

This unique situation surprised Clyde Albert a bit, but his mental quality was excellent and he did not show it.

"Hello, gentlemen, I am Clyde Albert, the current CEO of the Financial Times Group."

After Clyde Albert finished the introduction, he smiled and stood in place, looking directly at Xia Yu.

Xia Yu made a please gesture: "Mr. Clyde, please sit down!"

"Thank you!"

Clyde Albert bowed slightly to thank him, then sat on the stool and waited quietly.

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Xia Yu. Bright Fund is my company."

"You should know the man next to him, the president of the Bright Fund, George Berkeley."

When Xia Yu introduced himself, George Berkeley gave Clyde Albert a friendly smile.

"Hi boss!"

"Hello Mr. George!"

Hearing Xia Yu's introduction, although Clyde Albert had guessed, he was still in shock. He did not expect Xia Yu, who was one of the partners, to be the owner of Bright Fund.

"Well, don't be so restrained, because I don't want the outside world to know my identity for the time being, so I let you come here today. I have something to talk to you."

"Please tell me!"

"You can talk about the details of the company first!"

"Ok!"

"The company currently has 351 employees, of whom..."

With Clyde Albert’s talk, all the information of the Financial Times Group is open to Xia Yu, which is more comprehensive and true than the information during the investigation by the British public accounting company.

Unconsciously, following Clyde Albert's account, Xia Yu had a complete concept in his mind, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The Financial Times Group is indeed a very good company, that is, 90% of Pearson Group’s business is in the education industry, and Duke Carter Howard says hello, otherwise the Pearson Group will not necessarily sell, even if the Financial Times Group It is of little help to Pearson Group's education industry business.

But it doesn't matter how it was before, what matters is that the company is now in his hands.

After Clyde Albert finished speaking, he took a sip of tea and waited quietly for Xia Yu's order.

"Clyde, the company remains the same. Under your management, the company has developed well. Continue to manage it according to your ideas."

When Clyde Albert heard Xia Yu's words, he breathed a sigh of relief, and a happy smile appeared on his face: "Thank you, boss, for your trust!"

"Because of some special reasons, I will not come forward. The employees of the company must be a little fluctuating now. You must stabilize the company as soon as possible and eliminate unfavorable factors~www.readwn.com~Understand!"

"Next, let’s talk about the business. You may not know. I have a newspaper company in Hong Kong. It has two newspapers with a daily circulation of more than one million copies and two weekly circulations. There are more than a million magazines, and one in the financial category!"

After Xia Yu finished speaking, he looked at Clyde Albert.

Seeing him suddenly raised his head, his eyes were incredible.

Only when seeing Xia Yu's indifferent expression, Clyde Albert suppressed the shock in his heart, and at the same time gathered 12 points of attention.

The boss seems to have a deep understanding of the media industry, so the next business discussion should not be blindly directed, he must take it seriously!

Seeing that Clyde Albert was suppressed, Xia Yu was satisfied with the effect, and finally started talking about the topic.

"Clyde, the Financial Times is the largest financial newspaper in the UK. Have you ever thought about how to continue to improve the authority and influence of the newspaper in the financial industry?"
