Chapter 537 You will be the princess
In fact, many people have always believed that Cather's mother was the driving force behind Cather's love affair with William - although Diana was called a "common princess", it was actually a misinformation and should be translated as " The People's Princess.
This refers to Diana being close to the common people and being loved by the British people.
Diana's father, Edward Spencer, was the eighth Earl Spencer of England. Her background was not ordinary.
Cather was truly a "common princess". She was born into a middle-class family in Berkshire, England.
Kaiser's father was originally an airline flight dispatcher and later went into business, and his mother, Carol, was a flight attendant and now runs a party supplies business.
They invested heavily in allowing Cather to receive an aristocratic education from an early age. She attended St. Andrews Primary School, Marlborough School, and later studied art history at the University of St. Andrews.
It is said that Kate had already been admitted to the University of Edinburgh in England, but when she heard that Prince William would go to the University of St. Andrews, she took a year off, repeated her studies and took the exam again, and then she and William became classmates.
As for Cather's own thoughts, Barron was not prepared to explore. Perhaps she had also had the idea of resisting such an "arrangement". For example, she had other boyfriends in college, and also had sex with others. Barron...'s predecessor had an ons...
But now it seems that she still cares about becoming a princess.
"This is not the first time you have broken up. You should be familiar with many of William's practices. I can guarantee that you will become the princess and even the queen in the future, Cather."
After hearing Barron's words, Kaiser looked at him deeply:
"What do you want? What's in it for you?"
Seeing Kaiser's somewhat wary look, Barron smiled and said:
"Don't be so nervous, Cather, am I just so utilitarian in your eyes? That's really sad."
"Then why did you..."
It has to be said that at this time, although Cather did not have the noble temperament that she later had when she became a princess, she was still extremely good in both figure and appearance - otherwise it would not have been possible to tie William to her like this.
Speaking of which, when he came to this world, the first person he met was Cather, but in essence, the two people really didn't go through the process together. The "past" between him and Cather was a bit unworthy of the name.
Kaiser was keenly aware of the subtle changes in the way Barron looked at her. A woman's intuition made her a little nervous.
"Barron, you..."
As soon as she spoke, she was already pulled into Barron's arms. To Barron, her struggle was like a mantis trying to block a car...
"You must understand that William is still at a playful age. When he realizes that he needs to take on more responsibilities, he will understand that you are the most suitable candidate for marriage."
Barron said in Cather's ear:
"Now, just think of this as a holiday before you become a princess, and enjoy this moment. When you become a princess, you won't have such a relaxing moment, Cather..."
"you sure?"
"Of course, I promise you."
After Barron finished speaking, Cather immediately stopped struggling. She leaned into Barron's arms and closed her eyes...
……
"This is not a poison pill, Your Highness, it is much more noble."
The person who had afternoon tea with Barron today was Green Hammer, the current chairman of Reuters Founders AG. He took a sip of coffee and said to Barron:
"It is not used to prevent a business action, but to protect Reuters' operating principles."
Green Hammer's words were directed at the "golden equity" of Reuters Founders AG.
Green Hammer is the chairman of Reuters Founders AG.
He is a well-known Swedish entrepreneur who once served as the president of Volvo. Today, Green Hammer is more famous as the chairman of Aviva, the largest insurance company in the UK.
Barron met with him today because Reuters Founders AG was alarmed after SEM Group increased its stake in Reuters Group to 15%.
Barron hopes to persuade the trustees, represented by Green Hammer, to agree to let SEM Group complete its acquisition of Reuters Group.
Reuters Group once stated in its annual report:
"Restrictions on common share interests, as well as the special voting rights of Founders AG, can be described as anti-takeover precautions. In this sense, they prevent claims for control of the Reuters Group."
Today, Reuters, the official British news agency owned by the Reuters Group, has operations offices and 94 news bureaus in 200 cities in 197 countries around the world, providing news in 19 languages. Almost all major news media Have a Reuters news subscription.
These include CNN, the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, Yahoo.com, America Online and the British Broadcasting Corporation - SEM Group's ITV and Standard Newspaper Group are also customers of Reuters Group.
Reuters is also one of the world's three largest news agencies, including the Associated Press and AFP.
At the same time, Reuters Group is also a well-known provider of financial and economic information. The three giants currently providing financial and news information to financial institutions and brokers are Bloomberg, Reuters Group and Thomson.
Among them, Reuters occupies 23% of the market share, ranking second only to Bloomberg's 33% market share.
It is worth mentioning that in Barron's previous life, later this year, Thomson would propose to acquire Reuters and complete the merger of the two. The merged "Thomson-Reuters" group would surpass Bloomberg News and own 34% market share.
"Mr. Hammer, I very much agree with the core principles of your Reuters Group. I believe you can know that I have always been committed to the fairness and respectability of news media. For example, since SEM Group acquired "The Independent" and ITV , we have always kept this most important point in mind and have never made any false or exaggerated reports.”
Regarding Barron's words, Green Hammer did not refute anything. He also had to admit that what the British Duke said was not too exaggerated. Compared with News International Group, which is keen on attracting attention, SEM Group is already considered A very conscientious media.
Of course, this in itself is also related to the fact that Barron does not need to make money through these media. Even when he needs to use the media he controls to achieve some goals, those reports are completely true.
"And I can guarantee that after completing the acquisition of Lutou Group, you will still be given the power to supervise the operations of Reuters. My purpose of acquiring Reuters Group is actually the same as yours."
"I am very pleased to hear this, Your Royal Highness. We are committed to ensuring that Reuters Group can report impartially without any interference. If anyone can make a convincing case that they will abide by our principles on journalism and report in accordance with If we act according to these principles, we will not block his subsequent acquisitions; but if we think there is a threat, we will take immediate action.”
At the end of the meeting between the two, Green Hammer said to Barron:
"Indeed, we very much look forward to measures that will confirm your compliance with those principles of ours."
