Chapter 343

"Okay, you are an expert in action, you have the final say," Catherine was the first to agree, and the others agreed to William's request after a moment of thought.

After the discussion was completed, Richard asked people to prepare the car. After the bodyguard replied that the car was ready, Richard led everyone out of the room, and comforted the nobles and official officials who were still in fear in the cathedral.

Then quietly took the cabinet members and the personal bodyguards around them and got into three cars.

William drove his bumpy Aston Martin db9 with Catherine and old Richard who insisted on being his car.

The motorcade drove out of the cathedral, just after the corner William did not take the shortest road according to Sunday's prompt, but took everyone to drive in the opposite direction.

There is a black front drone in the sky to lead the way and investigate, and there is a car behind it to block any following cars, and shoot and blow the tires if they don't listen to the advice. It took more than an hour to drive into Downing Street after only ten minutes of walking and stopping.

Once here, nothing happened to William, and he didn't want to go into Downing Street to avoid trouble.

The car stopped in front of the guard post outside the street, turned to Catherine and Richard and said, "Okay, my task is completed, you two, the rest is up to you."

"Thank you", Richard, who was worried all the way here, finally felt relieved, and said sincerely, "William, we will remember everything you have done for England, and you can come to me for anything in the future."

"Let's deal with the current matter first and then talk about it."

Richard's words now sound very sincere, but William knows very well that as time goes by, the ghost knows whether this promise still counts,

Moreover, these current cabinet members may not be long before they will be kicked out of their current positions, so William will not keep this favor for too long, and he has even thought about how to use it.

Watching Richard and his group walk into Downing Street, William turned around and drove back to the manor.

Chapter 481 Power and grid, the beginning of monopoly

When she got home, Abigail, who was worried, was relieved when she saw that William was unharmed, but the chick was probably really scared, and she kept holding William's arm and didn't let go.

However, this also relieved William, who had been tense all morning, and dialed a video message to his mother in Oxford to report that he was safe.

Seeing her son appearing in the manor, Lina was relieved of her worries, and it was rare for Abigail to let go of William who was sticking to her side.

Before the end of the video, Lena ordered Gail to keep an eye on William from now on and not to take a step out of the manor, otherwise Gail will be driven away when Lena returns to London.

After receiving the order from the big boss, Abigail quickly nodded in agreement. After the video call ended, she looked at William with a victorious look on her face, "From now on, you have to listen to me, dear."

"Okay, okay, listen to you." Abigail, who stared and smiled, fell on the sofa, pretending to be powerless, and said, "I'm hungry, help me prepare something to eat."

"I'm not going to be fooled by you." Abigail took out her mobile phone with a smile, and pressed the number of the manor cook. After beeping for a long time, the call could not be made.

"Are you a fool?" William looked at the puzzled Abigail with a smile on his face. "Now there is a power outage in London, and the signal receiving towers are down. It's strange that the phone can go out. Don't be naughty, hurry up and cook for me." of".

"Then let's go together, you help me."

Pulling William's hand and asking him to accompany him in the small kitchen, she couldn't pull it out several times. Abigail rolled her eyes and threw herself on William's body.

"Boss, do you hate me?"

Originally, he didn't plan to go out in the afternoon, and waited until it got dark to see if the situation could save the old beauty leader Benjamin Arthur's William. He looked at Gail who was pretending to be pitiful, "Okay, okay, I promise I won't go out in the afternoon."

"Ha, if you don't go out in the afternoon, you will go out at night." Abigail is a double doctor, and she immediately saw through this word game.

Angrily, William slapped the round place behind the little girl, "If I don't go, I will starve to death."

"You bastard", Abigail touched the place where she was hit, "It hurts so much".

"I'll take a shower, and you'll make lunch, that's the deal," he stood up holding Abigail, and threatened, "I don't care about men's affairs, otherwise I won't let you get out of bed."

After talking about Gail, he went upstairs on his own, walked into the bedroom, took off his clothes and left them on the floor, and went into the bathroom to soak in water.

Lying in the oversized bathtub, stretched comfortably, closed his eyes and said to Sunday, "When will the electricity in London be restored?"

"Sir, the control computer of Barkawi's group cannot be obtained, and it is estimated that it will take at least 24 hours."

"Fk, that doesn't mean that when things are over, the share price of England Power will definitely plummet."

"No, sir, Barkawi and his team control the control system of the England Power Grid Company. The London blackout has nothing to do with your power company.

If there is nothing wrong with my program, according to my investigation, the power company is operating normally, and once the official cracks the program that Barkawi left in the mainframe of the England grid, London will be able to restore power immediately."

"Huh?" Hearing this, William opened his glasses and sat up. "You mean, England Electricity only produces electricity, not the business of delivering electricity?"

"No, sir, your description is not accurate, England Power is mainly engaged in power generation and sales.

The power transmission and distribution system is mainly operated by the England Grid, and the business scope is England and Wales.

Because electricity is difficult to store, unified management of the grid can

Adjust the power generation to avoid waste and damage to lines, generators and other equipment when generating power beyond the actual demand.

At the same time, in addition to England Power, the power group also has electric energy companies and nuclear power companies, with market shares of 42, 31 and 27 respectively.

"What is the market value of England's power grid?" William asked hurriedly.

"Based on yesterday's stock price on the New York Stock Exchange, the market value of England Grid is 2.1 billion US dollars, but I have to remind you that once you really win England Grid, according to my estimation, there is an 80% chance of facing anti-monopoly investigations."

"That's a problem," William nodded.

Unless the power company has a major stake in the state, any electricity-related business will be managed by one company, which will certainly not escape the suspicion of monopoly.

Not to mention anything else, the electric energy company and the nuclear power company absolutely do not want the England Power Company in William's hands to acquire the England grid.

If William's acquisition is really successful, it would be equivalent to being directly stuck by the neck, which is something that no company can bear.

Just as he was thinking about how to avoid monopoly, he suddenly said on Sunday, "Sir, there is one more thing to remind you that electricity trading in England still uses the generation quota mechanism, and it is not that you can generate as much electricity as you want."

"Huh?" William was not surprised but happy when he heard this, and after thinking for a while, he said excitedly, "If I reform the electricity in England and treat electricity as a commodity and release it to the market freely,

Let the public decide which company to buy electricity, so as long as my electricity price is always lower than that of the other two companies, can I avoid monopoly? "

This question made Sunday pause for a few seconds, "Sorry, sir, I can't answer you for such an ambiguous question, but according to the monopoly law, as long as you are not losing money or cutting prices without making money, it does not involve monopoly."

"Moreover, I remind you that if you can achieve a lower cost than the other two companies, even only 10% lower, then the possibility of bankruptcy of these two companies will reach 90% in a few years.

No one will buy expensive consumables such as electricity, even if it is cheap 1, some people will switch to the power company. Once these two companies go bankrupt, it will be unnecessary for you to buy the England power grid.

And once you unify electricity production in England and Wales, you're again at risk of a monopoly."

Hearing this, William was not only not angry, but laughed, "That's for the future, even if my electricity price is lower than that of other countries, the English officials may support me to go out of the three islands of England and earn money from other countries.

And don’t forget that the owner of the Devonhill family fund is my mother, and I use the fund to buy power grids, maybe I can avoid monopoly.”

Sunday paused for a few seconds before saying, "I suggest you leave these issues to attorney Anthony."

"Well, it seems that you are indeed not omnipotent."

William lay back in the bathtub, wondering if he should take advantage of the attack and the sharp drop in the share price of England Grid to buy it.

However, this does not prevent William, a black-hearted guy, from playing tricks. He closed his eyes and said to Sunday, "It will cause a lot of damage if the power is cut off for three days in London."
