章 188: Chapter 188 Exploded
In this public opinion event, Barron once again reached a certain consensus with the Prime Minister. In the end, in addition to the CMA ending its investigation into O2 Telecom and stating that O2 Telecom's promotional activities did not constitute "malicious competition", the matter was settled. During this visit to China, the companies under his name also entered his business team.
This visit is mainly focused on business cooperation, and some cooperation agreements will be reached, including some of Barron's investments in China.
On July 22, Cavendish Hotel Group held a groundbreaking ceremony for the Devonshire Bund Hotel, which it invested 100 million pounds in Shanghai.
A new building with a similar style will be built next to the original Bund No. 2 and connected to the original old building.
It is expected that the new building will be completed within a year, and by 2005, the Devonshire Bund Hotel will be officially open for business.
The Prime Minister attended the ceremony and delivered a speech, expressing his hope to deepen trade and commerce between Britain and Scotland to achieve a win-win situation.
In addition to the investment from Cavendish Hotel Group, Argos CEO Nathan Ellington also signed a purchase order with Zhejiang Province worth a total of 100 million pounds, and will cooperate with local manufacturers to authorize the production of many Argos own-brand products.
Originally, Argos only wanted to conduct a small-scale cooperation attempt at the beginning. Although they had recognized the production capacity of many factories in Zhejiang Province during previous inspections, they still wanted to be cautious about their first cooperation.
However, this visit just happened to coincide with this one, and Barron also believed that replacing its own-brand products with "Made in China" within Argos' quality system was the "trump card" for Argos' next expansion and development, which directly led to the signing of this £100 million order.

Unlike "The traitors" produced by Summit Studio before, the new dating variety show "Love Island" produced this time has a mechanism for eliminating guests by public voting, so the filming and broadcasting are almost carried out simultaneously.
Of course, this production method will also greatly test the production capabilities of Summit Studio.
Fortunately, it looks like they are doing well so far.
This program has aired two episodes on SDTV so far and has been a huge success!
Its ratings are no less than those of "The Traitors", and it is more talked-about than it.
It can be said that after only two weeks of broadcasting, "Love Island" has become the hottest topic among young people across the UK.
You can find that no matter where you are, young people are always talking about their opinions on the guests of the variety show "Love Island", and each of the guests has their supporters, resulting in different camps.
The reason why this reality show is so popular is that the scale of the dating variety show "Love Island" is indeed beyond those of previous dating variety shows.
Let's take an example to make this clear.
The male and female guests participating in the variety show "Love Island" will be re-paired in each episode and choose their "bed partners"...
Yes, this "bed partner" means literally.
After choosing a "bed partner", the man and woman will sleep in the same bed in the same room before the next re-selection!
These young, hormonal and extremely bold people, under the ubiquitous cameras in the villa, have many very intimate actions, and some even feel... behavior after feeling it.
Of course, in the feature films broadcast by SDTV, since it is a channel broadcast to the general public, their editing is still very careful about the scale.
However, the Freeview platform also provides a paid on-demand "extended version" that contains more content, and the shots in it are very rich.
"Love Island" brings together the current audience's favorite attractions such as sunshine, swimming pools, handsome men, beautiful women, bikinis, etc., and because of the elimination mechanism of the competition, there are often dramatic plots. Naturally, it is the biggest winner of the British reality show this year - well, even though only two episodes have been aired so far, this can be confirmed.
The most intuitive data is that within a month after the broadcast of Love Island, Digital UK received more than 2 million applications for the installation or replacement of upgraded set-top boxes with on-demand functions, which is three times the number of the previous month!
You should know that the upgraded set-top boxes are not free to install, and the price is as high as 199 pounds!
This is not like an ordinary set-top box. Due to the expansion of production capacity and the reduction of costs, the deposit for the latest ordinary version of the set-top box manufactured in China has been reduced to 200 pounds - this deposit will eventually be refunded.
Digital UK's purpose is to expand the base of ordinary users as quickly as possible so that more viewers can watch TV channels on the Freeview platform.
Therefore, in the past, they focused on the production of ordinary versions of set-top boxes.
After the broadcast of "Love Island", users' demand for digital program on-demand services was greatly promoted. It was also from this time that PUMA Electronics adjusted its production and increased the proportion of upgraded set-top boxes produced in its Chinese factory.
As for Puma Electronics' original production plant in England, it has now become their main technology research and development center.
It is also necessary to maintain a certain production capacity, or number of employees, locally.
Therefore, Puma Electronics' British factory is now producing their most advanced, technologically advanced and profitable new generation products.
…
The filming of "Love Island" will take a full two months, and their "islanders" will undergo closed-door filming during this period.
However, during this period, she did not need to stay on the island all the time, and she could still return to London to reunite with Barron.
After all, the distance from Spain to England is not too far.
"My dear, returning to London from Mallorca feels like going from summer to autumn... Why, are you not happy to see me back?"
"No, I'm just so happy, baby."
When he saw Bonnie again, Barron didn't explain too much and just had a good time with her.
"Don't mess up my clothes. I have to go to the SEM building later. I need to finish editing the next episode today."
"No need to rush, baby, I'll pick you up in the evening?"
"Maybe it will be later. I can come back by myself. I want to go see my cousin after get off work. I called her the other day and she seemed to be in a bad state. I'm a little worried..."
Hearing Bonnie's words, Barron felt his eyelids twitching. He pretended to be calm and said,
"Maybe it's your illusion. I saw the Butts two days ago and she looked very good. By the way, dear, I have something to tell you..."
"What's the matter?"
Bonnie looked over at me, her eyes almost filled with tenderness...
"I love you, baby."
Bonnie's smile suddenly spread upon hearing the other's confession:
"Me too, honey."
She gave Barron a kiss.
"Is that what you wanted to say to me?"
"Well, I'll tell you when I get back tonight."
"Why are you so secretive? I'll go to the company first, dear."
