Chapter 702 Spying
"Hello, Ms. Riley, I am the assistant to His Royal Highness the Duke. You can call me Ning."
It takes about an hour and a half to get to Birmingham from London. time, but the Bentley Mulsanne that Dalula was riding in was very comfortable, and she did not feel any fatigue from the journey.
Before she came, she deliberately put on her best and favorite Gucci dress, and when the car arrived in Birmingham, she touched up her makeup in the car, hoping to look the best. Come and see His Highness the Duke.
What she didn’t expect was that after arriving at the hotel, the person who greeted her was not Barron himself, but a Chinese beauty who looked very elegant in business attire.
After the other party introduced her identity, Dalula heard her say:
"His Royal Highness the Duke is meeting with the Mayor of the West Midlands, Mr. Emerson, and the Mayor of Birmingham, Mr. Hull. Later, I will come to see you. You can go to the room to have a rest first. If you need anything, you can contact us at any time. Contact me..."
"Thank you..."
After following the assistant of His Highness the Duke to the presidential suite of the hotel, Dalula looked around the luxuriously decorated room and couldn't help but ask Said:
“Does His Highness the Duke live here?”
"Yes, by the way, Ms. Riley, if you are hungry, you can ask the hotel to send some snacks..."
"No, thank you, I'll just drink some coffee."
……
“L’Oréal Group’s shares have risen by more than 50% as of today. If the acquisition of Gucci-Hermès Group If the offer can be approved, I believe that its stock will have room to continue to rise. There is still a lot of room..."
"Brother, wake up, you can no longer buy L'Oreal Group shares in the market. , every agency is holding it tightly in its hands. If it is really as slow as you, nothing can catch up..."
In this bar, several men in suits and ties who looked like professional elites were sitting together. Each of them had a wine glass in front of them. They looked like they came here to relax after get off work.
But it seemed that at this time, the two of them had a small dispute. Another slightly bald man next to them calmed the two of them and said:
"Gucci-Hermès The group’s premium for this acquisition is too high, and it is likely to be successful. It’s a pity that the Gucci-Hermès Group is not publicly listed now, otherwise I am optimistic about their future performance..."
"Actually, I think it will be from now on. It seems that the U.S. stock market has shown signs of economic recovery, and there are still many investment directions that we can pay attention to, such as the international gold price..."
"Indeed, all countries are now beginning to implement quantitative easing policies. , according to previous rules, gold prices tend to rise at this time..."
"What? Peter, are you going to try gold futures recently?"
"Haha, I was just talking casually..."
...
"Sir, this We have recently obtained the chat records of several employees in the investment department of NM Rothschild Bank, and we have sent people to break into them and will start tracking their capital flows..."
"I need news for those who can afford larger investment amounts..."
In fact, intelligence collection against the Rothschild family has already begun. This is also the result of the intelligence network established by Barron after he has provided a large amount of funds for so many years. For example, the previous bar had been acquired by them earlier through an offshore company. The reason for this was because it was a place where many NM Rothschild Bank employees drank after get off work. Their conversation here is still very valuable, especially after drinking some wine...

……
If you just look at it from the perspective of visiting, the hand-made car building process is more interesting, but that is just like Rolls-Royce and Bentley. Only car brands with this kind of "luxury" positioning can play well, and correspondingly, there will be considerable restrictions on the production of cars.
After all, "things are rare and valuable", just like a luxury brand like Hermès, if you don't use the gimmick of "handmade", why would people pay such a high price to buy your products?
However, although this kind of positioning can maintain style and earn super high profits, it will never become a giant because of the limited market size.
However, after completing his visit to Birmingham, Barron still did not mind continuing to visit the manufacturing plants of Bentley and Aston Martin in the company of Dalula.
This is also the first time that Dalula has witnessed the manufacturing process of these luxury cars that can be called works of art.
After Bentley was acquired by Barron's and returned to become an authentic "British brand", it also received strong support from the royal family. For example, the Queen's car has been changed from Rolls-Royce to Bentley's new car. Flagship Mulsanne.
And with continued marketing, its style has not fallen behind at all compared to Rolls-Royce.
After Aston Martin launched its SUV model, its sales are gradually increasing. Although it is still unable to compare with the sales of the Porsche Cayenne, after all, the Cayenne has accumulated good reputation for many years and wants to catch up as soon as it is launched. is also unrealistic.
But at least judging from the current sales, it can be guaranteed that Aston Martin's profits have increased significantly compared with before.
Furthermore, Aston Martin has just started manufacturing SUV models, and it also needs to accumulate experience in this area. I believe that as long as it keeps improving its models, this part of the business will get better and better.
"How about it? Dalula, would it be a bit boring for you girls to visit this kind of car factory?"
"I quite like it, really, actually. I am also very interested in these. When I was in school, I preferred some mechanical toys that were considered boys..."
When Dalula said this, she didn't seem to be faking it. Judging from the fact that she was able to get a doctorate in quantum physics in Barron's previous life, she was really interested in this aspect.
"So do you prefer your current career as an actor, or something else?"
"I was just curious at first. I wanted to see how far I can go..."< br>
Barron felt that Dalula was somewhat similar to Fan Bingbing in terms of personality, very straightforward.
She organized her language and continued:
"Maybe the only thing I'm looking forward to now is to try it in Hollywood. It's not that I expect to become famous, but after all, since I'm an actor, Hollywood is always a goal."
"After that What?”
“I don’t know, maybe I will go to school. I interrupted my studies because I wanted to be an actor. In fact, my grades were very good when I was in school...”
