Rebirth of England.

Chapter 944 Very Regretful
The change of ownership of Sky Group is big news in Britain.

After all, although Sky TV is not as popular as before, it is still one of its three major TV stations.

However, within the Sky Group, this change of "owner" was calmer than people imagined.

Apart from the departure of several of Murdoch's direct subordinates in the management, Sky Group's business is still progressing as usual as Remy Darroch has retained his position as CEO.

Ivanta also took this opportunity to come to London. In addition to dealing with the handover matters related to the Sky Group, he also had the opportunity to get along with Barron.

Barron stayed at Joe Harriman's apartment last night. After all, the beautiful cabinet minister of the British people has been working hard for the country's scientific and technological innovation recently, and he must express his condolences on his behalf.

It has to be said that the combined strength of Cabinet Minister Joe Harriman and supermodel Rosie Huntington is quite impressive, making Barron feel like he has met a worthy opponent.

After picking up Ivanta and getting in the car, she leaned against Barron, twitched her nose, and then smiled:

"Where are we going?"

Barron noticed the woman's movements. Well, it was useful to take a shower and change clothes in the morning. Otherwise, if she smelled the fragrance of other women, she might not be so gentle.

"Go and have a rest first, baby. I have prepared a house specially for you. You can live there for the next few days."

"Don't you want to visit your house?"

Hearing Ivanta's words, Barron realized that the woman said this on purpose...

"Where you live is our home, baby."

……

In mid-September, a team including Huaxia officials and representatives from China Railway Corporation, China Railway Construction Corporation, Huaxia Railway and other companies arrived in England. They will communicate with Amber Sheehan, CEO of First Rail Group, on the project bidding for the UK High Speed ​​Rail Line 9.

Earlier, the British First Rail Group officially announced the final route plan for the High-Speed ​​Rail Line 2 as well as the project bidding catalog and process.

It is worth mentioning that after the final route plan of the High-Speed ​​Rail Line 2 was announced, an animal protection organization in the UK claimed that the noise during the operation of the high-speed rail would disturb the animals' rest and affect their reproduction, and demanded that the high-speed rail must slow down when passing through animal habitats - according to their survey, there are a total of 2 animal habitats along the High-Speed ​​Rail Line 350...

Then, the First Rail Group of Britain invited the head of the animal protection organization that raised the protest and the animal protection expert hired by the other party to conduct an investigation on the planned route by helicopter.

Unfortunately, the leaders and experts of these animal protection organizations all died in the plane crash.

After investigation, it was found that the crash was completely accidental because the thick fog on that day affected the helicopter's flight...

So the British First Railway Group once again invited the new head of the animal protection organization to continue the investigation. The newly appointed head changed his mind and believed that the First Railway Group's technical requirements for high-speed rail ensured that the operation of high-speed trains would not disturb the animals.

In this way, the British First Railway Group finally "regrettably" gave up the effort to continue inviting the other party to conduct an investigation. Although a helicopter was lost "for no reason", it is still insured...

Moreover, compared with the so-called proposal of those brainless animal protection organizations that "trains need to slow down when passing through animal habitats", this loss can only be said to be a "drop in the bucket".

After all, according to their route planning, the route will pass through more than 350 so-called "animal habitats" of various sizes. In this case, why build a high-speed railway? They might as well just use green-skinned trains.

Previously, some so-called environmental protection organizations claimed that the exhaust gas from high-speed trains would pollute the environment. Damn, you didn’t do any research before protesting. High-speed trains use electricity, not coal? Where does the exhaust gas come from?

Barron will not tolerate such monsters at all. He is not the British government. He is spending the government budget to build the high-speed railway and is willing to waste time with these people. He is spending his own money. Whoever comes to make trouble has a grudge against him. He will not give you dignity, but help you to be decent.

And in terms of public opinion, not only the SEM Group and the Sky Group are now under his control, either overtly or covertly, but even the BBC, after the previous scandal, the former BBC president Entwistle announced his resignation, and the newly appointed president also has a good personal relationship with Barron.

As for the British government, because Cameron needs to rely on Barron's strength to advance the High-Speed ​​Rail Line 2 project as soon as possible, it can be said that the efficiency of many things has been greatly improved.

It is also worth mentioning that two MPs have resigned due to scandals caused by their attempts to help animal protection and environmental protection organizations to accuse the First Rail Group. I wonder if there are still some stubborn people who want to try again...

"We are very much looking forward to cooperating with powerful high-speed rail construction companies from all over the world. In fact, when I visited Huaxia last time, I personally took the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail and was deeply impressed. Huaxia has advanced technology and experience in high-speed rail construction and is a partner we attach great importance to."

Amber Sheehan, CEO of First Rail Group of the UK, met with the Chinese delegation and spoke highly of China's strength in high-speed rail construction. In response, China also showed great enthusiasm.

They have taken the lead in submitting their bid to the First Railway Group, and are preparing to have several Chinese engineering companies that have participated in the construction of the Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed ​​Railway undertake the construction of the entire HS2 railway line.

In addition, China's CSR and CNR will also participate in the bidding for high-speed trains and other equipment.

Unfortunately, although there is no problem in entrusting most of the construction of the high-speed rail railways and stations to the Chinese consortium, Alstom Bombardier Heavy Industries Group can be said to be determined to win the high-speed rail trains and related train systems.

Even Huaxia promised that if CSR and CSR joined, they would be able to provide larger loans - even enough to cover the entire investment in High-Speed ​​Rail Line 2.

But on the one hand, our company certainly needs to be involved in it. On the other hand, if all the bidding projects of the entire High-speed Rail Line 2 are won by China, I am afraid that neither the British government nor the European Union will be able to justify it.

In the end, some profits will still be left to local companies.

To this end, the British government has also allocated a portion of funds to subsidize local companies involved in the construction of High-Speed ​​Rail Line 2 in order to enhance their competitiveness when facing other competitors, mainly Chinese companies.

It can be said that this period was a very tense one for both the Chinese companies and other companies involved in the bidding for High-Speed ​​Rail Line 2.

Because in half a month, that is, at the end of September, the final bidding results will be officially announced.
