Chapter 311: Laziness is a virtue
In short, everyone has their own agenda, and the world where only Lu Sinian is injured is achieved...
In the end, the "handsomest guy" took it all.
After dinner, several people gathered in the living room.
Several gentlemen, as well as the honorable Lord Arthur, sat by the fireplace drinking (milk) and chatting.
Su Xiaoli taught James how to draw Chinese lanterns.
It's actually quite cozy.
The show started, and several men talked about the development and reform of telecommunications business in England.
Under the influence of Britain, European countries have successively carried out reforms to privatize state-owned monopoly assets.
It is a rare occasion today that new and old friends gather together.
It took a lot of effort for Oscar to curb the widespread and indiscriminate complaints.
He picked up the wine glass and took a sip slowly: "Different from the quasi-public investment 'Temasek model', the answer given by No. 10 Downing Street is..."
“The government will retain a veto over major changes to the company only through its golden shares.”
As a local, Oscar occasionally gets involved in the family business when he's interested, so he has a better understanding of the current privatization of state-owned enterprises in the UK.
Of course, Oscar's usual style is to satirize "Number 10", the cabinet and civil servants whenever he has nothing to do.
Day after day, that bunch of people looked like they were drunk even though they didn't drink.
The time spent arguing, sabotaging each other, eating and dragging our feet is far more than the time spent doing things.
Each one of their symptoms was more serious than his.
Of course, maybe if we choose another group of people, it might be worse than the current one, yes, it must be.
Just make do with it for now.
After all, there are quite a few people from Oxford and LSE Political Science and Economics there, who have no courage at all and are far worse than Cambridge.
His alma mater produced the "Cambridge Five"...
Ahem... Although those five people's "courage" was a bit too great...
"Golden stocks..." Gu Feihan and Lu Sinian were still thinking about Oscar's words.
"How is the rights structure different from that of general preferred shares?" Gu Feihan was curious.
Even Lord Arthur meowed...
Oscar immediately became a different person, with a shrewd and sharp look in his eyes:
“Preferred stocks are a hybrid of stocks and bonds, a combination of multiple rights.”
“Golden shares are the exact opposite – the holder waives any property claim to the company and therefore cannot be used as collateral.”
“In terms of participatory rights, golden shares do not participate in the company’s daily operations and business decisions, and only retain certain special powers.”
Lu Sinian and Gu Feihan nodded calmly.
Oscar couldn't help but add, "After all, once they get involved, it'll be a mess."
—Thank God, those guys sobered up for once.
Gu Feihan and Lu Sinian looked at each other. It was obvious that there was something to be done here.
Even Su Xiaoli, who was listening quietly with her head down, looked up at Oscar.
The three people's eyes sparkled.
As soon as Oscar finished smoking, he poured himself a full glass of whiskey and returned to his lazy and stuffy state.
Although Gu Feihan had drunk quite a bit, he still expressed his analysis clearly.
"That is to say, the policy of No. 10 is completely inclined towards capital management rather than asset management, relying more on the introduction of private capital and market forces to improve corporate performance."
After saying this, he did not look at Oscar, but instead looked at Su Xiaoli, whose eyes were sparkling.
Su Xiaoli was so excited that she almost drew a wrong stroke. She gave Gu Feihan a determined look in return.
This look clearly expressed that he strongly supported Gu Feihan to join the game at this time.
There is still some tacit understanding between the two of them.
James pouted in dissatisfaction, grabbed Su Xiaoli's little hand and pressed it back on the drawing paper.
Oscar didn't care whether he was seen or not, he just nodded with satisfaction.
Putting aside the fact that this new friend spoke with an annoying "American accent", which made Oscar feel like he was speaking a foreign language, the content of his speech was quite to the point.
Just a few simple sentences point out the benefits and development trends.
It seems that he is also an expert. I wonder if there will be a chance for us to cooperate in the future.
Forget it, after all, laziness is a virtue, and he doesn't want to find things to do for himself.
But why is it that this "Han", who looks rich and noble, is just like Ed, always wanting to do something to tire himself out?
Although hard work won't lead to death, Oscar will never prove it himself.
I can only express my deep regret. I don't understand the life philosophy of these young Chinese people.
However, if the "useless people" at the top had a work attitude as hardworking and serious as these two, the environment might be completely different...
It’s over. Oscar wants to complain again.
Lu Sinian was more cautious about the information Oscar provided. If he wanted to do something specific...
He pondered for a moment, and followed Gu Feihan's logic and continued: "How can we ensure that this policy can be implemented?"
"Three points. First, the financial securities market and the large-scale capital lending market. Second, the legislative process and financial system. In addition, several supporting laws and regulations have just been introduced, including the Telecommunications Law, the Gas Law, and the Company Law...
Everything has rules and laws to follow." Oscar smiled casually.
Finally, a positive evaluation was given to "No. 10", ministers and civil servants.
Su Xiaoli's eyes sparkled more and more.
Combined with the information and legal terms I have learned in recent days...
Based on the guiding ideology of "plucking feathers from passing geese", she already had an idea and originally planned to talk to Lu Sinian during the day.
Now I am even more certain.
I guess Lu Sinian has the same idea now.
After all, since we are here, we can’t let those “fat ducks” go.
Whether it is roasted or stewed, it always has to be "cooked".
"In that case, we can arrange to find out more in the next few days. I will go with the two of them." Lu Sinian pointed at Gu Feihan and Su Xiaoli.
Oscar gave his old friend a look of disgust, as if to say "he's looking for trouble again", and snorted through his nose.
Although he thought it was interesting to work occasionally, that was just watching others work.
Unfortunately, Lu Sinian didn't receive Oscar's disgust signal, and didn't even look at him...
Oscar rolled his eyes.
At this moment, shouldn't Ed give him a fake "Give me five"? He narrowed his eyes and took a big gulp of wine to hide his embarrassment.
Then he followed Lu Sinian's gaze and caught sight of Su Xiaoli with sparkling eyes.
Let that little crybaby girl participate as well?
A woman who can only be friends with James, even if she has a pretty face, can she understand what men say? My old friend's IQ...is indeed worrying, no longer as clear as it was in college.
The conversation went on and on, and their style seemed to... go off the track, clearly adopting a British style of complaining.
