I am a nobleman in England
Chapter 151 Casting the net widely, catching more fish, choosing the best and following it
People have always been very curious about the life of contemporary aristocrats. They have also seen the wealthy and willfulness of the British aristocracy from various media reports. It is one of the few aristocratic groups that has retained the legacy of the year. Tea party, dance, There are groups of domestic servants, and even their daily lives are full of luxury. It is enviable and hateful, but at the same time, it can't help but wonder: Where does their money come from?Wouldn't it be so "willful" to go down and eat everything?
"Everyone thinks that I still wander around in a robe and a bonnet, staring at my vast fields, and from time to time I drop a few pheasants... However, the fact is that I have to worry about funding the annual castle repairs. Struggling with the sustainability of the farm, I think about not only maintaining value, but also increasing value. Because I don’t want to squander my assets carelessly, and even live by begging..."
As a representative of the younger generation of nobles, Arthur's candid words in the interview have aroused widespread concern in the British society, and at the same time revealed the true corner of the mysterious life of modern nobles to the world.
The plight of the modern so-called aristocracy is displayed, so that people can understand that the so-called hereditary aristocracy is only created by time, the privileges of the aristocracy are no longer, and the family background is no longer so important.The reality that personal talent is more important than title.
"Glory belongs to our ancestors, and we have to go our own way..."
In the bedroom in Buckingham Palace, the old lady is wearing gold glasses, lying on the wound, frowning slightly at the newspaper in her hand, and a bright silver tray on the side contains an exquisite English breakfast.
"It's just a bit too high-profile, there are almost all reports about him these days."
"Being able to wake up, inherit a huge amount of family business, bear the pressure that he shouldn't have at his age, and allow himself to grow quickly while holding the family business. It is very precious."
As the steward of the wang room who takes care of the old lady, he naturally knows the old lady's continuous attention to the young Earl Bolin. Regarding the recent time the Earl Bolin has become a popular figure, he has been keeping an eye on him. His people and things are what his butler needs to pay attention to and understand.
"It is especially shocking that he was able to become a billionaire by investment at this age. This is really a bit legendary. His changes and achievements during this time are undoubtedly a very inspirational example. People who come from aristocratic families often can't endure hardships. Their impression of being content with pleasure and having a love for rest and work has greatly changed."
"Haha." The old lady smiled softly. "It says that the tableware arrangement of Boleyn Castle has remained the same for hundreds of years, and the entire castle has always been maintained in a fine but refined state, following the ancient Etiquette. No wonder he can write the aristocratic etiquette of that era in such detail in his novels. Perhaps, if he finds an opportunity, he should go and see..."
"Your Majesty has this intention, it is the glory of the Bolin family." Upon hearing the old lady's words, the housekeeper Wang couldn't help his eyes light up and said with a smile.
"Haha." The old lady chuckled again, folded the newspaper in her hand, put it aside, and started to enjoy her breakfast.
At the same time, Earl Arthur, who was also eating breakfast, was naturally very happy and satisfied with the hot topics he aroused and the overwhelming reports in the newspaper, and he was happy for the success of his hype.
Until he turned to the financial page and saw the news about the'Brown government selling the Channel Tunnel to pay off debts', he was heartbroken, and at the same time he realized how much his money was not enough to spend.
Sell what you can sell, exchange assets for money to survive-this is a big business in the UK right now.
The British zf has been under the pressure of the economic crisis. Prime Minister Brown hesitated to cut government support because government spending is an important means of stimulating economic recovery.It is impossible to cut expenditure, increase income is to consider the direction.As a person who relies on votes, Brown certainly does not dare to increase taxes, so the British government has only one option if it wants to survive.
The first batch of zf assets to be sold this time includes a 33% stake in the European Enriched Uranium Corporation, the state-owned gaming company Taut, the Dartford Toll Bridge across the Thames in London, and the English that connects Britain and France. The railway under the Channel Tunnel, student loan companies, etc.The value of these assets is estimated at three billion pounds.
And the government is also preparing to sell idle properties in its 220 billion pounds of real estate when market conditions improve.
Beginning in 1979, the privatization policy of Iron Lady has gained momentum in the decades since then.From oil exploration, steel, to communications, energy, and water supply, each industry has completely become the private sector.This marked an earth-shaking change in British politics, and of course this success was subsequently followed by all over the world.
To be honest, Arthur was very jealous when he saw the assets of these monopolistic industries. Don’t think that you have made so much money easily by investing in gold. You also understand the general trend of the future. You can use this to play capital games and make more money. , He was very happy and felt relieved.
On the contrary, Arthur did not want to regard capital games as his main business, but rather industry is the root of rapid development.
Capital is an angel, and capital is also a devil.
Arthur can make money by understanding the general trend, but he is not a god, and it is impossible to make a big profit every time. Besides, what he remembers in the international financial market is nothing more than that, when he looks forward to the future. What happens when all the advantages are used up?
Well, his personal wealth should be very impressive by then, but he can't just hold on to his money and wait for death in the future, right?
The capital game is rootless duckweed in Arthur's eyes. It may be glorious for a while, but it will never be glorious. No matter which country or rule, industry shoulders the heavy responsibility of value creation and is the cornerstone of wealth creation.
At this point, Arthur highly praised the view of a certain HUA person's richest man, that is, "When doing business, remember that you must always have a product in your hand and you can make money when the sky falls."
To be honest, Arthur has always wanted to buy himself an iron rice bowl after he has enough first pot of gold, so that even if the sky is falling, he can lie down with a profitable industry to give his future and The family's future underpins.
Although there are no immediate worries, there must be far-sighted.
Undoubtedly, although the assets that Brown ZF wants to sell may not be the most profitable assets, they are monopoly assets. Gaming companies, toll bridges, undersea tunnel railways, shares of enriched uranium companies, student loan companies, which one is not the previous life thought A deal that you dare not think about?
"When the money is available, Fang Hate less!"
In the study, Arthur leaned back on the boss chair, sighing with emotion, saying that 240 million US dollars is definitely a wealth he dared not dream of in his previous life, but now he really feels too little, and it can only be converted into pounds. It is more than 150 million pounds.
However, the purchase of the Southampton club also cost 36 million pounds. Although he is a billionaire, he should be the least wealthy.
It seems that in the short term, I can only rely on capital games to increase my worth.In addition to continuing to bet on gold, high-quality stocks like Amazon, Wal-Mart, Google, and Netflix in the United States are also to be bought.
Since you can't grasp the success or failure of the details, then grasp the general trend, cast the net widely, catch more fish, choose the best and follow it!
Thinking of this, the previous arrogant feeling of being a billionaire was completely suppressed. I lit a cigar, calmed my mood and some restless thoughts, and continued to work as a keyboard. Novel draft.
The current value is not the time when he can freely let himself go. If he doesn't get a dozen or two billion dollars, where is the confidence to wave all over the world?
