Actually, what is right is that the entertainment industry is a paradise for rich people, and idle people are not allowed to enter.

Anyone who can survive in the entertainment industry has two tricks on his back, either having a deep family background or a strong funding bank. Otherwise, it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry, whether it is the Celestial Empire, Hollywood, or the UK.

It was not as troublesome as expected to ask his sister Eddie and Emilia for a role. As a producer, Mashat easily agreed to Arthur's request. Of course, it was definitely not a very important main character.

To be honest, at first, Arthur did not expect things to go so smoothly, but as Arthur himself thought, his status is no longer as simple as before, not just a small writer. As a producer, Nigel Mashat would naturally not reject his small request.

What is a circle? Circles are unique "people", forming the "ecological" environment, intertwined and colorful interpersonal relationships, and the circle has a background. Most circles are backed by the magic sword of power. Anyone who is used around them, whether it is fish or shrimp, is actively created, and ultimately forms a behind-the-scenes trading "black hand" that seems simple to each other but is actually unfathomable.

How could a veteran entertainment industry person like Nigel Mashaut miss the opportunity to make friends with a billion-dollar count like Arthur? Therefore, Arthur not only helped Eddie and Emilia get roles, but also got the promise to try to set the filming venue of the TV series at Bolin Manor.

After hanging up the phone, Arthur couldn't help but smile and shook his head. Sure enough, none of the people in the entertainment industry were fools. Not only that, they knew better how to see people and be tempted by the situation.

Of course, Arthur did not dislike such people. After all, it is not easy for anyone to survive, and each has its own way. Similarly, he also needs to make friends with different people to establish his own network of relationships.

At 4:30 pm, in the warm and pleasant restaurant in the sunny outdoor private garden of Four Seasons Hotel on the Four Seasons Hotel on the Boli Avenue, wearing a blue haute couture suit, elegant and elegant Arthur sat quietly and leisurely in his seat, overlooking the charming landscape of Boli Avenue.

"Boss, Mr. Bob Diamond is here..." Angela, who was wearing a professional ol dress, suddenly whispered.

"Hmm?" Arthur said lightly, looking back at the middle-aged man who was being led here by a waiter, wearing a straight suit, a red tie, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and two followers behind him.

Arthur smiled, stood up from the sofa, walked around the dining table, greeted the person, reached out and smiled, "Good afternoon, Mr. Diamond, I am Arthur Boling, thank you very much for accepting my invitation."

"Haha, good afternoon, dear Lord Arthur Bolin, it is my honor to receive your invitation. I am very happy to know you."

Arthur was a little surprised to hear the other party's serious and formal title, but he didn't care too much. After smiling, he introduced Angela beside him, and reached out to signal to invite the other party to take a seat.

After the three of them took the seat, Arthur's intentional friendship, their sense of strangeness was quickly alleviated and the atmosphere became relaxed. It has to be said that they were very talkative and humorous with this American banker who was regarded as the "perfect manager" by Barclays' senior management. Arthur also liked the other's American way of communication, without the verbal and almost hypocritical politeness of the British.

"…This series of selected desserts is a delicious and delicious specialty snack made by the Executive Pastry Chef here draws inspiration from different areas such as the "perfume area", "British native flora area", and "Hive area". It's very good."

Arthur smiled and introduced the sandwiches, scones and jams made from high-quality ingredients produced in the herb garden on the traditional afternoon tea tray on the dining table, signaling each other to taste them.

"'When the clock rang around, everything in the world stopped for tea', haha, in the UK for so many years, afternoon tea has become the most anticipated time of my day. It can allow me to enjoy a rare spiritual pleasure in the middle of busy work." Bob Diamond smiled and said the British's favorite comment about afternoon tea, which caused Arthur and Angela to chuck knowingly.

"Indeed, the exquisite snacks, the aroma of black tea, the bright setting sun in the afternoon... Such a quiet and beautiful afternoon, sharing the little things of life with friends is so pleasant. After half a day of leisure, you can forget any troubles. In short, hightea is responsible for taking care of his fullness and lowtea is responsible for spiritual pleasure." Arthur also said with a smile.

"Haha, that's right, what you said is really incisive. Hightea is responsible for the care of fullness, lowtea is responsible for the spiritual pleasure, and for the spiritual pleasure." Bao Bo raised the black tea cup with a smile on his face to signal to Arthur. Arthur also raised the black tea cup, nodded gracefully, and tasted it together.

Before coming to Bob Diamond, Arthur had read the information. Diamond, who is now fifty years old, is definitely a sensation in the world banking industry. As an American from an investment bank, he has become Barclays' eO since 2001, successfully leading Barclays from a comprehensive bank to an investment bank.

Especially after the outbreak of the financial crisis in 2008, under his leadership, Barclays Bank not only rejected the British government's bailout, but also successfully acquired the bankrupt Lehman Brothers' American business without being supported by the British government, and thus gained a firm foothold on Wall Street.

Barclays, which has become an investment bank, is undoubtedly the most needed and easiest person to obtain strong cooperation and support from Arthur. Investment banks are originally a type of financial institution corresponding to commercial banks. They are mainly engaged in securities issuance, underwriting, trading, corporate restructuring, mergers and acquisitions, investment analysis, venture capital, project financing and other businesses. They are the main financial intermediaries in the capital market.

So when the afternoon tea was coming to an end, Arthur took the acquisition plan for the coast (natural gas) power station in Bristol from Angela. With some curious and anticipated eyes of Bob Diamond, he opened the file bag and handed the plan to the other party.

"This is a plan to acquire a coastal (natural gas) power plant in Bristol. If possible, I hope your bank can become my partner. I hope we can build a long-term, firm, mutually beneficial and close connection."

Arthur's tone did not have the slightest feeling of begging others for doing things, nor did he mean to look at others' expressions or speaking. He did not beat around the bush, but his attitude sincerely expressed his own meaning.

“Bristol coastal (gas) power station?”

Bao Bo Diamond seemed to care about Arthur's tone. In the business world, there was no relationship between who asked for whom. If there was profit to make money, he could naturally reach cooperation. Without benefits, even if the two were really good friends, Bao Bo would refuse directly and would not change because of the other party's begging.

"Bristol's coastal (natural gas) power station covers a total area of ​​28 hectares and has a total installed capacity of 2.41 million kilowatts. It is eight F-class gas-steam combined cycle generator sets with a single power of 390mw and a total asset of the power plant is 400 million pounds.

The annual power generation capacity exceeds 12 billion kilowatt-hours, the annual heating capacity is 9.35 million jiu, and the annual natural gas consumption exceeds 2 billion cubic meters. Compared with the mainstream domestic coal-fired power plants, each year can reduce nitrogen oxide emissions by nearly 6,360 tons and carbon dioxide by 6.3 million tons..."

At this time, Angela, who was standing beside her, smiled and introduced her to Bao Bo Diamond with a clear understanding of the acquisition plan, so that the other party could easily understand the acquisition plan.
