Chapter 542： ?22.84 million (1/2)

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!”
