Rebirth of England.

Chapter 946 Distribution of Benefits
"I wonder what you guys are talking about?"

After Barron came over, Princess Cather's smile faded slightly and she returned to her dignified demeanor.

"We were talking about some women's things. The princess said Prince George is very cute. We have made an appointment to visit the little prince in a couple of days."

After hearing Ivanta's words, Barron suddenly realized that she and Cather both had little boys. Ivanta's son Theodore TP was slightly older than Prince George, so the two of them did have a lot of common topics in this regard.

At this time, Prince William also came over and heard them talking about their son Prince George. He said to Barron with a smile on his face:
"I heard that George often came to your place to play with the children, and thanked you for taking care of them, Barron."

"Nothing, I'm George's godfather, and it seems that my children also like the little prince very much, especially George, who likes his brother with the same name very much..."

Barron was talking about his and Bonnie's eldest son, George Cavendish, who shares the same name as "Prince of Cambridge", George Alexander Louis.

However, when Barron was talking to Prince William about this, Princess Cather, who was beside Prince William, looked away, as if she was thinking of something...

After this banquet, the relationship between Ivanta and Princess Cather began to become closer.

After all, although Cather is now a princess, as the saying goes, "the family of a noble is as deep as the sea", let alone the royal family...

She was very curious about Ivanta, a strong woman with an independent personality who was able to run such a huge company as IC Capital, and was willing to establish closer ties with her to expand her network.

From Ivanta's perspective, if there is an opportunity to establish some kind of connection with the royal family, she is willing to pursue it - after all, although America is no longer in the era of following European trends, the royal family, especially the British royal family, still has a certain significance in American upper class society... Having a close relationship with the royal family is like the luxury goods of noble blood consumed by those socialites and ladies.

……

Before Ivanta left London, in addition to stabilizing the situation of Sky Group after IC Capital completed the acquisition, he also agreed on two things with Barron.

When she first spoke to Sky Group CEO Remi Darroch about merging Sky TV's online platform with DailyVedio to unify the online broadcasting platform, it was actually Barron who initially suggested this.

In this way, in the field of global streaming media platforms, Netflix and YouTube, which will be relatively strong in the future, DailyVedio will be able to compete with them in Europe.

However, another problem that needs to be solved is that after the Sky Group's streaming platform is integrated into DailyVedio, the content of DailyVedio will certainly become richer and the user base will be greatly expanded, but the distribution of interests among DailyVedio's shareholders needs to be balanced.

DailyVedio's current shareholders include three parties: Digital Future Investments, SEM Group and O2 Telecom.

Previously, many of the official broadcast contents on DailyVedio came from SEM Group, which is its largest content provider, so it is inevitable that SEM Group has interests in it.

O2 Telecom also needs DailyVedio to compete with the video service business of BT, its broadband competitor.

As for Digital Future Investments, as a subsidiary of Caesars Fund that mainly invests in Internet technology, they have helped DailyVedio make many acquisitions in streaming media and video-related technologies over the years to enrich its technical strength, and are also an indispensable part of DailyVedio. Now that Sky Group wants to merge its streaming platform business into DailyVedio and provide it with content, it naturally needs to hold enough shares in DailyVedio to be in the interests of Sky Group.

Otherwise, although DailyVedio has more users and a higher market share, if the shareholding ratio is not sufficient, it would be better for Sky Group to continue to promote their own streaming platform business.

You said that the rise of Netflix in the future will squeeze the streaming business of these single media groups? How many people can see this now? But if Sky Group feels that its interests are damaged in the current merger with DailyVedio, it will also affect IC Capital's control over them.

Therefore, these matters still need to be discussed and negotiated slowly with the other three shareholders of DailyVedio. According to Barron's prediction, it will be appropriate for Sky Group to hold 25%-30% of the shares in DailyVedio in the end, and it is also acceptable for O2 Telecom to give up some of its shares in DailyVedio as its business globalizes.

Another thing is about Android.

Prior to this, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) of the United States investigated "unfair competition" of some services and applications within the Android system.

After that, the relevant EU agencies also announced that they would investigate the Android system...

Ivanta believes that the investigation against the FTC will not pose much of a threat to IC Capital and Android - because before this, last year, the FTC had also conducted a similar investigation, but it ultimately came to nothing. After the FTC proposed three areas for improvement and Android made "optimizations", it was easily let off.

She is also confident that she can reach a private settlement with the FTC for this investigation, and she may not even have to pay a fine.

But on the EU side, although the problem is not too big, you have to know that because the EU is weak in the Internet, and the United States also likes to catch a little braid and issue huge fines to European companies, the EU often "returns the favor"...

American IT giants including Microsoft, Google, and Yahoo have all received high fines from the EU. Now Ivanta does not want to deal with the FTC in the United States, but is still issued a fine by the EU, so she hopes that Barron can come forward to coordinate.

This is also because Android is apparently a pure "American company" with IC capital and has nothing to do with Barron, so when the EU takes action, it seems to have no scruples.

But this is not the situation Barron wants to see, so he will naturally use his connections to resolve the matter.

After all, after the last communication with the EU on Alstom's acquisition of Bombardier, Barron also contacted relevant EU agencies.

After dealing with these matters, Ivanta said goodbye to Barron and returned to the United States on her private plane.

Before this, Barron had purchased several business jets at one time, one of which was a Gulfstream G650, which was usually used by Ivanta and was considered Ivanta's private jet.

The fuselage of this aircraft is painted with the "IvanCa" logo.
