Chapter 413 Before Marriage

Indeed, at this time, without the emergence of Facebook and Woaw Technology being a British company, it is really possible for MySpace to develop, at least it will be better than this company in the original time and space. develop better.

However, Barron decided to sell MySpace to News Corporation rather than let IC Capital continue to develop it, thereby basically monopolizing the entire social network track behind the scenes.

After all, doing this is like two barber shops at the entrance of a community. On the surface they are competing, but in fact they are the same boss...

For ordinary people, this kind of thing may not be possible. It's hard to know what's going on behind the scenes, but with the Industrial and Commercial Administration Bureau, it's all clear once you check it out.

Although IC Capital has nothing to do with Barron's on the surface, can it really hide it from everyone? Now Barron has no need to play this kind of "espionage" game, because once found out, not only MySpace and Woaw will get a sky-high fine for creating a monopoly, but it will even affect all the industries under Barron's name. American and even global business.

This is simply not worth the gain.

Since MySpace is for sale, the best buyer is News Corporation.

After all, the results of News Corporation’s management of MySpace in the previous life showed that handing over MySpace to them would not pose much of a threat to Woaw.

In the traditional media field, News Corporation is a strong opponent, but in the Internet industry, their management style is really "rushing for quick success" and is not suitable for the development of this industry.

It is precisely in this way that MySpace is just right as a rival to Woaw.

After SEM Group completed its merger and acquisition of ITV, the British TV station field once again formed a "three giants" pattern, namely BBC, Sky TV and ITV.

However, the current ITV has been merged with SDTV after being acquired by SEM Group, and has a new unified logo.

After the acquisition, Michael Gray, the former CEO of ITV, was also appointed as the CEO of Summit Media.

The original strategic mergers and acquisitions department also became the strategic development department. Joe Harriman was appointed as a director of the strategic development department because of his outstanding performance in the merger and acquisition of ITV.

The next task of the strategic development department is to value other businesses of SEM Group and inject them into the listed company Summit Media.

Because after Dingfeng Media was listed, now they feel more and more that because Dingfeng Media has become a listed company, the changes in its equity have caused a separation in its coordination with other businesses of the SEM Group. .

After all, the shareholders of SEM Group only hold 90% of DS Capital and 10% of Sinclair Group.

Summit Media previously occupied 20% of the outstanding shares, and after completing the merger with ITV, a large proportion of the shares fell to ITV shareholders.

Therefore, the first thing to do now is to resolve this matter and bring the SEM Group back into a whole.

Besides Summit Media, SEM Group’s main assets are three parts: Independent Newspapers, 45.9% stake in DigitalUK, and 30% stake in what was originally Giant Studio and is now called Stuart Media. .

After injecting these business valuations into Summit Media, the stock will be renamed SEM Group. In addition to the change in the name of the listed company and the change in shareholding ratio, in fact, in the company Operationally, there won’t be much change.

Well, one more thing is that the shares of DigitalUK owned by SEM Group will be merged with the shares of DigitalUK previously held by ITV and now held by Summit Entertainment after the merger. It will hold a total of 59.4% of DigitalUK's shares, which is close to the BBC's initial 46% share in DigitalUK.

But at this time, Barron no longer cares much about these things.

Because...Bonnie is pregnant.

The news was just confirmed, and Bonnie went to the best obstetrics and gynecology hospital in London for a check-up. This is not the first time that Barron has become a father. Before this, he already had two daughters, Jennifer Cavendish and Ethel Butt, and now has another child, who is in the process of becoming a father to Katherine Neighbor. In Weir's belly, the baby was about to be born in almost two months. It had been confirmed by ultrasound that it was a daughter...

But the difference was that Bon was pregnant this time. Ni Stuart is his real girlfriend.

And at Barron's current age, he is about to celebrate his 26th birthday, and it is time to consider the issue of heirs.

Although now, the inheritance of aristocratic titles does not necessarily require a male born in wedlock, only a male descendant with a blood relationship, but in contrast, how to say a child born out of wedlock, in a high-level noble like a duke? It's not always decent to say that.

So faced with this situation, Barron finally decided to hold a wedding with Bonnie Stuart in the near future.

However, the two of them already have a tacit understanding about this. It’s not that Bonnie doesn’t know that Barron has other women outside. In fact, this matter happened during the last brief “breakup” between the two. After getting back together again, it has been shown that he is accepted by her.

Even if the two people do have a deep relationship, it is impossible to say that Barron has to cut off relationships with other women after marriage.

And among those women, there are also wealthy daughters like Tamaran Ecclestone, the Hearst sisters and Ivanta. It is impossible to say that they should always be "lovers" role.

Therefore, the marriage between Barron and Bonnie Stuart was destined to not last to the end from the very beginning.

This is often an unspoken rule in upper class society. Even after divorce, it is very likely that the "ex-wife" will still live a de facto life as a couple as before.

It’s just that before this wedding, there is more than one thing that needs to be resolved...

At least Barron’s financial advisors are about to get busy.

Including his holdings in DS Capital and many companies, they all need to be disposed of to a certain extent.

Immediately, they will transfer some shares to the Devon Hill Family Trust Fund, and many shares, including DS Capital, will be held by new trust funds registered in the Weijing Islands.

So-called trust funds are a way for many wealthy people to deal with family assets to avoid high inheritance taxes and to keep assets from being divided by descendants.

Trust funds mainly have three key parties: the trustor, the manager and the beneficiary.

For example, if Barron's packages a company's shares into a trust fund, then Barron's will be the trustee of the trust fund. These shares will be managed by professional institutions after entering the trust fund. This is the administrator; and Barron leaves the property of this trust fund to his children, then his children are the beneficiaries.

The reason why he chose to register his trust fund in the British Virgin Islands this time is because it is the only place where trust funds are allowed to be registered, and the trustor, manager and beneficiary are all the same person.

That is to say, for a trust fund registered elsewhere, the manager needs to find another person or institution to manage it. However, for a trust fund registered in the British Virgin Islands, the trustee, manager and beneficiary can all be Barron himself.

What is the function of this?

Even if the property is injected into such a trust fund before marriage, the ownership and control of the property will still be owned by Barron himself, but this part of the property is already a trust fund with "public attributes". Their assets and subsequent income have nothing to do with the joint property of the couple...

Just like in the original time and space, before Da Qiangzi married his milk tea sister, he put all his JD.com shares into It was registered in a trust fund in the British Virgin Islands, and his annual salary was later set at 1 yuan.

Why did Milk Tea still need to do its best to maintain their marriage after the incident where Da Qiangzi was jumped by a beautiful fairy?

This is the reason. Do you want her to divorce and divide Da Qiangzi's annual salary of 1 yuan?
