Chapter 496 Good people and good deeds
“Well, actually, Annabella, we don’t need to spend money on this public relations...”
Looking at the public relations consultant of the Barron Family Office Barron said calmly about the Chinese newspapers that Annabelle Nolan brought to him.
The newspapers in his hands include at least more than 10 kinds of Chinese newspapers. The names of most of the newspapers and magazines are familiar to Barron. If he remembers correctly, they should all belong to " Southern” media.
These media all reported some things about Barron’s previous visit to China. Well, to be honest, after reading some of the content, even Barron at this time could not help but feel a little bit Blushing, because he was really praised like a saint - one reporter even reported that he and Brown ate burgers together on the streets of New York, and there was a burst of praise...
All in all, if other people read these reports, they would probably regard him as a person with an internationalist spirit who "has escaped from vulgar taste."
"Your Highness the Duke, in fact, we have not spent any public relations expenses. Even before, our company had almost no business dealings with these newspapers..."
Ms. Nolan shrugged He shrugged and said:
< br>"With all due respect, for our 'civilized world', they have always been like this... style."
Well, if Barron encountered such a thing in his previous life, this would Reporters, I’m afraid, will only disdain...
But now that my status has changed, when I enjoy such thoughtful compliments, I can only say that it is indeed very useful.
“Well, many of their readers are the audience of our brands. Some of our brands, such as British Automobile Group and Gucci, can give them some advertising business.”
How to say it , If you bring your own dry food to promote yourself, you should also give them some bones... uh, benefits, that's right.
......
"We have noticed that DS Group is reducing its holdings in many companies. Your Highness, are you planning to make any big move?"
After visiting the Cosworth engine plant in Michigan, Barron returned to New York, where he met with Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein.
After the pleasantries, Lloyd directly raised the issues he was concerned about.
“There are indeed a series of plans, but they still need to be improved.”
Barron naturally could not tell the real reason, but after integrating the British Automobile Group, Barron There are indeed other acquisition plans, and this is not a bluff.
“I think it must be a huge plan, because with your strength, if it is a general acquisition, you do not need to be so fully prepared.”
"Haha, Mr. Blankfein, I understand what you mean. If you need a partner, believe me, Goldman Sachs Group will definitely be your first choice."
Now the cooperation between DS Group and Goldman Sachs Group can be considered relatively Closely, especially in terms of financial investment, the Zeuss Fund, their joint venture, has been developing well, with an average annual return of more than 35%, which makes Goldman Sachs very satisfied.
In some business activities and acquisitions in the United States, Barron often relies on the connections and resources of Goldman Sachs Group. Of course, Goldman Sachs Group also receives a lot of money for this, and it can be said that everyone gets what they want. Needed.
When Barron returned to his penthouse in the Woolworth Building, a pair of sisters were already waiting there, none other than the Hearst sisters.
The Hearst sisters also complained about Barron's neglect during this period, but all their complaints disappeared after learning knowledge together. It can be said that from the initial discomfort, it has become very natural by now. The ancient sage's philosophy of "when three people are walking together, there must be a teacher" has also sublimated the sentiments of the two sisters.
Speaking of which, when Barron was in Los Angeles, he really met many popular stars at some cocktail parties. Many first-line Hollywood actresses were either overt or covert about him. Many hints were made, but Barron was mostly unmoved.
It’s not that his moral character has become so noble, it’s just that with his status at this time, he doesn’t have any aura in the eyes of ordinary people when it comes to those stars. On the contrary, after getting to know him better, he knows In some circles...here, it can't be said to be unspoken rules, they are simply upright rules, which makes him no longer interested in those so-called celebrities.
After all, the tree-lined paths you yearn for are often covered with white dew every night and morning...
...
"Thank you for supporting us, Barron."
Robert Kennedy Jr. also took advantage of this time to come to New York.
After Barron signed a donation to the foundation they were related to, Robert Jr. said with satisfaction.
"This is as it should be. The friendship between our two families is unbreakable, and I also believe that you will be unstoppable in the upcoming election..."
Yes, America The midterm elections are coming soon - according to American law, their general elections are held every four years, while congressional elections are held every two years.
Therefore, one of the congressional elections will be held at the same time as the general election, and there will also be one congressional election that will be held during the current term. This congressional election is called a mid-term election.
The mid-term elections are often regarded as a bellwether for the next general election, because in essence, the congressional elections are two parties competing for control of Congress. Now that the Elephant Party is in power, then if the mid-term elections If the Elephant Party still occupies the majority in Congress, then the bills designated by George W. Bush will pass unimpeded in Congress and will be conducive to the implementation of his policies.
But if the Donkey Party occupies a majority in Congress, in the next two years, I am afraid that many of George W. Bush’s policies will be hindered in Congress. In the end, it will be difficult to perform to the satisfaction of the people. In the next election, , will also be relatively at a disadvantage.
So the midterm elections are very important.
And Barron knows that in this year’s midterm elections, the final result was that the Donkey Party defeated the Elephant Party and won a majority of seats in Congress.
And in the next general election, Guan Hai of the Donkey Party will win, so Barron will naturally increase his support for the Donkey Party from now on.
Then his friendship with the Kennedy family became unbreakable again...
In addition to matters related to the mid-term elections, this time the Kennedy family also rewarded Barron, and they once again attracted more than US$500 million in capital from some mutual funds in Massachusetts and a Boston consortium will be invested in funds under the DS Group.
Speaking of which, this is not just good for Barron. Regarding the source of these funds, it is actually a blessing. After all, these funds are in his own hands, and at least he can avoid crazy shrinkage in one or two years. .
