I am a nobleman in England
Chapter 229 Throw away ambition and YW, what is the meaning of life?
"Boom boom——"
"Please come in—"
Arthur, who was looking at the pile of company listing materials in his hand, looked up at Smith Jama who pushed the door as his voice fell, put down the files, smiled and said, "You have another good news to tell. Am I?"
"Hehe, boss, you guessed it, it's really good news..." Smith Jama sat down with Arthur's hand, and looked at Arthur's smiling face and continued, "I just received the " "Financial Times" call, they want to give you an interview with your boss."
"Oh..." Arthur raised his eyebrows and sighed, then picked up the files on the desk carelessly, stuck it on the desk a few times, aligning and shook his head and laughed, "Interview? Okay, but I There's really nothing to say."
The Financial Times is a financial newspaper, a world-renowned international financial media founded in 1888. The newspaper is published at the same time in major cities and regions in the world such as London, Frankfurt, New York and Paris. The subject matter is mainly global economic and commercial information. Economic analysis and commentary.It is definitely a world-class authoritative financial newspaper.
Such an interview with a newspaper, it is said that Arthur should be happy to make his name spread around the world. However, the truth is that Arthur really has nothing to say.
He is indeed the youngest billionaire in the financial market by killing all quarters. However, he knows his family affairs and faces professional interviews in finance and economics. He simply can't help it. After all, he relies on plug-ins. Right!
"During this period, gold has hit a record high and it has risen so rapidly. The boss, your desperate investment in gold, has long been reported by the media. In this interview, the Financial Times may just want to talk to you about the future of gold and about you. The acquisition of coastal power plants.” Smith Jama guessed.
"..." Arthur frowned slightly and said after hesitating, "Well, let's communicate with the other party first, and deliberate on the question of the interview, and then you write a response press release for me. No way, Angie No more pulling, I can only trouble you."
"Good boss, no problem." Smith Jama agreed with a smile, and then asked, "So, is the interview time set?"
"Tomorrow morning, tomorrow afternoon I will rush to Bristol, the audit there will be over immediately, and then soon the transaction can be concluded and officially entered the coastal power plant." Arthur said with a smile.
"So fast?" Smith Jama was slightly taken aback, and asked somewhat surprised.
"Both parties take what they need, and the progress will naturally progress faster. To be honest, if it weren't for the promotion of the Bristol Coastal Power Plant, I would really like to reject this Financial Times interview, but all prepare for the listing! Arthur smiled slightly and revealed to Smith the idea of wanting to list the coastal power plant.
"Listing?!" The repeated accidents really made Smith Jamal a little surprised, but thinking of this leveraged buyout also made him quickly understand the boss's intentions. If the power plant is successfully listed, how many operations will it do? Once, maybe you can easily circulate the money back and wipe out the debt.
"Listing is indeed the best idea. If everything is ready, you can successfully IPO in three to six months, and the longest will not exceed nine months. As long as you successfully go public, your boss will usher in a surge in your assets."
"Hehe, that’s secondary. I mainly want to use this as a prying board to leverage the follow-up plan. Having a listed company makes it easier for me to raise capital, and the follow-up plan can also drive the stock price of the listed company. This is the key. I'm just worried about such a high debt, whether it can succeed or not. If not, I can only choose the AIM market." Arthur frowned and said with some uncertainty.
AIM, also known as alternative investment market, is a market set up by the UK for companies that are not eligible to be officially listed on the London Stock Exchange. These companies are usually small or high-risk companies.
"The scale of the coastal power plant has reached the standard. The key is to have a three-year business record and sufficient operating costs. On the contrary, the debt ratio is not that important. Find a strong sponsor. I think the problem is not big." Smith Jama thought about it with relief.
"Hope, let's increase the exposure rate of the coastal power plant first, and speculate on the third phase of the project, and speculate the valuation first. Before going public, I want to sell a part of the equity and select a few strong shareholders, except for some. In addition to funding, it can also increase the strength and foundation of the power plant's board of directors." Arthur told Smith about his ideas, just to inquire about the feasibility of his ideas.
"The plan is feasible. However, the time is too short. Even if the valuation is to be speculated, it is difficult to get the other party’s approval in actual negotiations. However, as investors all over the world are enthusiastically pursuing stocks, gold, and real estate. As with oil, asset prices continue to rise, and a new bubble is brewing. In the short term, it should be no problem for coastal power plants to return to normal asset valuations."
Hearing Smith’s analysis, Arthur squinted his eyes slightly, nodded, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly. “Starting the construction of the third phase of the plan, if the asset valuation can be smoothly returned to 750 million pounds, for us, Enough!"
"This also requires a series of public opinion promotion. If the boss really decides to list the power plant, you may be very busy in the next year, not only presiding over the reorganization of the power plant, but also dealing with various Review and audit, meet with various brokerages, sponsors, lawyers, and public relations companies. At the same time, you must also accept high-profile interviews with various media and conduct publicity. You will be very busy. I hope that the boss will be mentally prepared."
Smith Jama smiled helplessly and said to Arthur, although Arthur had not experienced the tedious and busy listing of this kind of listing, but just listening to some aspects of what Smith said, there was a headache. He had heard of it in the previous life, and the company’s listing was like Elder Tang learned from the scriptures and experienced nine-nine-nine-eighty-one difficulties before he could cultivate a true fruit.
Although it is listed in the UK, you don’t need to look at character or luck.What a cautious, low-key life.But it is also stricter.But if you want to break through the cocoon and become a butterfly, it is inevitable to experience pain.
"Hehe, as long as the bell strikes, these troubles are nothing." In fact, Arthur was really looking forward to it. No matter in this life or past life, where did he want to get that he might one day become the boss of a listed company, and it would be difficult to have it. Imaginary ambition, want to establish his own energy kingdom.
No wonder people say that people’s yw and ambitions will become bigger and bigger with power and career. They wanted to be a rich man in the countryside when they just crossed the road. With the use of their mastery of the future, they took the risk After a pot of gold, his ambitions began to grow uncontrollably.
Of course, this is also the reason for his anxiety and pressure that he will lose his advantage one day in the future. Therefore, when Angela sent him the future plan around energy, she told him that as long as the plan is completed , He could lie down and make money without hindrance, he accepted it without hesitation.
Drought and flood protection, long flowing water, and making money while lying down undoubtedly hit Arthur's heart. In this way, no matter how the future changes, his billionaire will never risk returning to pre-liberation overnight.
Especially the coastal power plant, as the first piece of the puzzle in his energy kingdom, is undoubtedly very important, because electricity is Arthur's most valued product that can make money when the sky falls.
Modern society, modern people, are completely inseparable from electricity. If there is no electricity, although it is not the end of the world, it will not kill you like a natural disaster, but it will bite you bit by bit as invisible. The biting of lice and poisonous insects.
Although there is no long history of real large-scale use of electric energy by human beings, people living in modern times have never experienced long periods of no electricity, and perhaps never thought about long periods of no electricity.
Sending away Smith Jama, Arthur lay down on the boss chair, closed his eyes, and fell into an infinite vision of the future.
At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Arthur packed up his things and was about to leave the company to go to the gym. Smith Jama appeared again with a folder.
"Boss, this is the list of interview questions that I agreed with the Financial Times, and the answers to the questions I wrote for you... The content of the next two pages are some analysis and thoughts written by me based on recent changes in the international financial market. Please take a look at it, in case you need it. After all, what these reporters like most is to make surprise attacks to make the interviewee difficult."
Arthur opened the folder with a smile, scanned it quickly, looked up at Smith and said, "Thank you, for your hard work."
"This is what I should do." Smith smiled.
"Hehe, look at these questions, they treat me as an investment crocodile, and they let me predict the future trend of gold. Tsk tsk, it is really flattered, the pressure is great, hehe..." Arthur looked at it. Some of the problems could not help but joked.
"Haha, this question seems simple, but it is actually a trap. However, the other party insisted on keeping this question, and I did not refuse it. Since they want to use this question to trigger controversial topics, why not satisfy them? Fame and influence have a great promotion effect." Smith shook his head and laughed.
"It's okay if you guessed it correctly. If you guessed it wrong, it would be a joke." Arthur looked at Smith dumbfoundingly.
"So, the answer I wrote is to use data to speak, never give a specific number, gold will continue to rise, as to what price it will rise to, only God knows!" Smith raised his eyebrows frivolously and said with a smile.
