In fact, what I said is quite right. The entertainment industry is a paradise for the rich, and idlers are not allowed to enter.

Anyone who can survive in the entertainment industry has two brushes on their backs. Either they have a deep family background or a strong capital bank, otherwise it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry, whether it is the Celestial Kingdom, Hollywood, or the United Kingdom. .

Asking for a role for his sisters Eddie and Emilia was not as troublesome as imagined. As a producer, Marshat easily agreed to Arthur's request. Of course, it was certainly not a very important one. Roles.

To be honest, at first, Arthur did not expect things to go so smoothly. However, just as Arthur himself thought, his status is no longer what it used to be. It is not just as simple as a small writer, as a producer. Germa Shat naturally would not refuse his small request.

What is a circle? A circle is a unique "person", and the "ecological" environment formed by it is crisscrossed with colorful interpersonal relationships, and the circle has a background. Most circles rely on the magic sword of power, but everyone around them, whether it is fish or shrimp, actively builds them, and ultimately constitutes a seemingly simple, but unfathomable behind-the-scenes trading "black hand". .

How can a senior entertainer like Nigel Marshat miss the opportunity to make friends with a billionaire earl like Arthur? Therefore, Arthur not only helped Eddie and Emilia get roles, but also I got the promise that I would try my best to set the shooting location of the TV series in Bolin Manor.

Hanging up the phone, Arthur couldn't help but shook his head with a smile. Sure enough, none of the people in the entertainment circle were fools. Not only that, they knew more about watching people order food and getting in the way.

Of course, Arthur was not disgusted with such people, after all, it was not easy for anyone to survive, and each had his own way. Similarly, he also needs to make friends with different people to build his own network of relationships.

At 4:30 in the afternoon, in the cozy and pleasant restaurant in the sunny outdoor private garden of the Four Seasons Hotel Park Lane, a blue high-definition suit, elegant and personable Arthur sits quietly and leisurely. Above, overlooking the charming landscape of Baili Avenue.

"Boss, Mr. Bob Diamond is here..." Angela, who was sitting next to Arthur in a professional OL skirt, suddenly reminded in a low voice.

"Huh?" Arthur said softly, looking back at the middle-aged man who was being led by a waiter to walk here, wearing a straight suit, matching a red tie, and a pair of gold glasses, followed by two Bob Diamond, CEO of Barclays Bank, who is an entourage.

With a smile on his face, Arthur stood up from the sofa, walked around the dining table, greeted the people, stretched out his hand and smiled: "Good afternoon, Mr. Diamond, this is Arthur Bolin, thank you very much for accepting my invitation."

"Haha, good afternoon, distinguished Lord Arthur Bolin, it is my honor to receive your invitation. I am very happy to meet you."

Hearing the serious and formal address of the other party, Arthur was a little surprised, but he didn't care too much. After introducing Angela to the other side with a smile, he stretched out his hand to invite him to take a seat.

After the three of them were seated, Arthur's intentional friendship quickly eased the strangeness of each other, and the atmosphere became relaxed. I have to say that with this American banker, who is regarded by the top of Barclays Bank as the "perfect manager", he is very talkative and humorous, and Arthur also likes the other party's American way of communication very much. Almost hypocritically polite.

"... This series of selected desserts is made by the executive pastry chefs from Chelsea Herb Garden's "Perfume Area", "British Native Plant Area", "Apiary Area" and other areas inspired by the delicious and delicious dishes. Special dim sum. Very good."

Arthur smiled and introduced Bob Diamond to the sandwiches, scones and jams made with the high-quality ingredients produced in the herbal garden on the traditional afternoon tea tray on the dining table, and motioned him to taste.

"'When the clock rings around, everything in the world stops for tea in an instant.' Hehe, after so many years in the UK, afternoon tea has become the most anticipated time of my day. It allows me to enjoy the busy work. A rare spiritual pleasure." Bob Diamond smiled and said one of the British favorite comments about afternoon tea, which caused Arthur and Angela to chuckle knowingly.

"Indeed, the delicate snacks, the aroma of black tea, the bright setting sun in the afternoon... Such a quiet and beautiful afternoon, sharing the bits of life with friends in a quiet and beautiful afternoon, it is really enjoyable. Stealing half a day of leisure, so much trouble. It can be forgotten. In short, hightea is responsible for satiety and lowtea is responsible for mental pleasure.” Arthur also said with a smile.

"Haha, that's right, what your Excellency said is so incisive. Hightea is responsible for filling, lowtea is responsible for spiritual pleasure, for spiritual pleasure -" Bob raised his red tea cup and gestured to Arthur with a smile, and Arthur also lifted it. He picked up the black tea cup, nodded gracefully, and tasted them together.

Bobo Diamond’s information, Arthur had already read it before coming. Diamond, now fifty, is definitely a man of the world banking industry. As an American from an investment bank background, he has become the CEO of Barclays Bank since 2001. Successfully led Barclays Bank from a comprehensive bank to an investment bank.

Especially after the outbreak of the financial crisis in 2008, under his leadership, Barclays Bank not only rejected the bailout of the British government, but also successfully acquired the bankrupted bank without the support of the British government under his leadership and various efforts. Based on this, Lehman Brothers' US business has established a firm foothold on Wall Street.

Barclays Bank, which has become an investment bank, is undoubtedly the most needed and the easiest for Arthur to obtain a strong partner and backing. Investment banks are originally a type of financial institution corresponding to commercial banks, mainly engaged in securities issuance, underwriting, and trading. Non-bank financial institutions engaged in business restructuring, mergers and acquisitions, investment analysis, venture capital, project financing, etc., are the main financial intermediaries in the capital market.

So when the afternoon tea came to an end, Arthur took over the acquisition plan for Bristol’s coastal (natural gas) power station from Angela. Under Bob Diamond’s somewhat curious and expectant gaze, he opened the file bag and handed the plan. To each other.

"This is a plan for the acquisition of Bristol's coastal (natural gas) power station. If possible, I hope your bank can become my partner. I hope that we can establish long-term, firm, and mutually beneficial close relationships. ."

Arthur's tone did not have the slightest feeling of begging and begging, and he didn't have to look at other people's faces and the meaning of speaking. There was no obliviousness, but a sincere attitude that directly expressed his meaning.

"Bristol's coastal (natural gas) power station?"

Bob Diamond doesn’t seem to care about Arthur’s tone~lightnovelpub.net~In the business world, there is no relationship between who asks whoever is. If there is interest to earn, cooperation will naturally be reached. If there is no interest, even if two people Really a good friend, Bob will also refuse directly, and will not change because of the other's begging.

"The coastal (natural gas) power station in Bristol has a total area of ​​28 hectares and a total installed capacity of 2.41 million kilowatts. It is composed of eight F-class gas-steam combined cycle generating units with a single set of 390MW. The total assets of the power plant are 400 million pounds.

The annual power generation capacity exceeds 12 billion kWh, the annual heating capacity is 9.35 million GJ, and the annual consumption of natural gas exceeds 2 billion cubic meters. Compared with the domestic mainstream coal-fired power plants, it can reduce nitrogen oxide emissions by nearly 6,360 tons and carbon dioxide by 6.3 million tons. . . "

At this time, Angela on the side, under Arthur's eyes, smiled and introduced to Bob Diamond, so that the other party can easily understand the acquisition plan.

Bob Diamond raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at the data in the plan, and compared what Angela said, it was not bad, and he was not focusing on the plan, but slightly condensed his eyebrows. Listen carefully to Angela's explanation of the entire plan.
