Rebirth of England.

"Well, actually, Annabelle, we don't need to spend money on all this PR..."

Barron said lightly while looking through some Chinese newspapers brought to him by Annabelle Nolan, the public relations consultant of the Barron Family Office.

The newspapers in his hands include at least 10 types of Chinese newspapers. The names of most of the newspapers and magazines are familiar to Barron. If he remembers correctly, they should all be "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 couldn't help but blush a little, because it was really... He praised himself like a saint - one reporter even reported on the incident of him and Brown eating hamburgers 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, 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 and said:

"With all due respect, to our 'civilized world', they have always been like this... style."

Well, if Barron encountered such a thing in his previous life, such a reporter would probably just 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."

After all, 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.

"It is true that there are currently a series of plans, but they still need to be improved."

Of course, Barron couldn't tell the real reason, but after integrating the British Automobile Group, he did have other acquisition plans, and this was 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 is relatively close, especially in terms of financial investment. Their joint venture Zeuss Fund has been developing well, with an average annual return of more than 35%, which makes Goldman Sachs Group 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 need.

When Barron returned to his Woolworth Tower penthouse, 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 made many hints to him, either overtly or covertly. But Barron was mostly unmoved.

It's not that his moral character has become so noble, it's just that with his current status, he doesn't have any aura in the eyes of ordinary people when it comes to those celebrities. Instead, after getting to know them better, he knows some people in the circle... Here, it can't be said to be unspoken rules, it is simply an aboveboard rule, 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.

Robert Jr. said with satisfaction after Barron signed a donation to the foundation they were related to.

"This is what 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's 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 are still held by the Elephant Party, the Congress will still be occupied by the Elephant Party. If there is a majority, then the bills designated by George W. Bush will pass unimpeded in Congress and 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 achieve a performance that satisfies the people. In the next election, it will be relatively difficult. Said to be 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 gave Barron a return. They once again attracted more than 5 million US dollars from some mutual funds in Massachusetts and Boston consortia, which will be invested in DS Group. among the funds.

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 hands, and at least he can avoid crazy shrinkage in a year or two.
