Chapter 170
Money means the right to choose. Money is not omnipotent, but with more money, you can have more choices.
The two properties of the big star Nicholas Cage were leaking. Arthur did want to pick them up, but the funds in his hands were already stretched and seemed to be able to use investment funds, which made him sigh again.
Not enough money to spend!
And this feeling is not just the personal feelings of Arthur himself, a billionaire.
Where did the money you earned with hard work be spent? Of course it is not about eating, drinking and having fun. In fact, the wealth of the rich is basically used to invest. Although they are already rich super rich, 70% of billionaires in the world still have the feeling of "not enough money to spend" and have financing needs.
It’s not that these billionaires are insatiable, but that if you want to consider it from a business perspective and an investment perspective, it should be said that money will never be enough to spend.
At this time, Arthur sat in the conference room with a calm expression, quietly watching his subordinates and representatives of Barclays Bank in a very stubborn negotiation, and his only purpose was to use the best conditions to get a lot of money from the bank.
Although the financial crisis seems to have signs of ending, Rong Ran suffered a lot for British financial institutions. This includes the British "century-old Barclays". Although his life was hanging on the line, he did not accept the help of the British government and survived the difficulties through private financing, the stock price continued to fall, which also highlighted that its "hard days" were far from over.
Barclays attaches great importance to establishing a cooperative relationship with Arthur Bolin, a new billionaire. Arthur Bolin's rise is no secret in the banking industry.
It is precisely because of this that these banks have a strong interest in Arthur. As long as a high-quality young billionaire customer does not die in the middle, the future will be absolutely limitless. They are willing to invest in each other at the beginning and lay a solid foundation for future cooperation.
Arthur can also clearly feel the kindness shown by the banks he has come into contact with in the past two days. Not only does the loan terms give him a very favorable discount, but they also say that they can give a personal credit loan limit that is not only different from Arthur.
Previously, the highest personal credit loan limit was the Royal Bank of Scotland, which had the largest deposits in Arthur's private account, with 20 million pounds. In other words, Arthur could borrow 20 million pounds from the Royal Bank of Scotland without any collateral.
While this made Arthur happy, he also lamented the great benefits that wealth and fame brought to him.
This will alleviate his embarrassing situation of shortage of funds. What he did not expect was that at the end of the negotiation meeting, Barclays also told him that Barclays had increased his personal credit loan amount to 40 million pounds.
To be honest, Arthur was still very surprised and was deeply moved by Barclays' courage. It was not until he heard the explanation from his chief investment management consultant Angela in the car back to the company that he suddenly realized.
"Boss, you have 57,900 ounces of spot gold in your hand!"
Well, with the current gold rise, the batch of gold in his hand is indeed the biggest credit basis, and it can be understood that the generosity of these banks is determined.
"Angela, which bank should we choose to take out a loan?" Arthur looked at the documents of several banks in his hand and compared the conditions, and did not forget to ask his consultant.
"I think Barclays is the most suitable." Angela said without hesitation.
"Haha, what's the reason?" Arthur turned his head and looked at Angela with a smile.
"With the company as the main body, the conditions given by these banks are actually similar, because they mainly regard your personal strength as your boss, so it is not difficult for us to choose. I think that for this loan, the most important thing is to find a long-term, capable and sincere partner to prepare for the next acquisition plan.
The reason why these banks choose to increase your personal credit loan amount is actually because they want to win over you, a high-quality customer, and to share a piece of cake from your career in the future."
Angela's mouth curled up slightly, her beautiful eyes shining with a shrewd light, and she analyzed and explained to Arthur. "Please choose Barclays, mainly the only commercial bank that avoided government intervention in the financial crisis. It is not only one of the largest financial banks in the UK, but also has branches in many other countries. It is a multinational bank with a huge impact. Its business scope covers more than 60 countries, including all financial centers.
You need to achieve great business success without the help behind the bank, which is a fact.”
After hearing this, Arthur narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded silently. To be honest, he still has many concerns about high debt and high turnover. Through this period of self-study, he is no longer a novice who doesn’t know any financial knowledge. He knows that this is undoubtedly like walking a tightrope. Although it is a shortcut, it is very dangerous. If you accidentally fall to pieces.
However, Angela is indeed right. If he wants to make a difference in business, he really cannot do without relying on a strong bank. For him, a newcomer in the business world, he really doesn’t have much influence or appeal. So, the next acquisition plan can only be raised through banks. If you want to raise funds through issuing bonds to the market, you will undoubtedly be overestimating your ability. How can investors buy the account of a newcomer?
"That's it. I'll meet with the president of Barclays for a chat. Since I have to deal with each other for a long time, I'll manage each other's relationships well. Everyone benefits each other. They will help me raise funds and I will help them make money!"
Arthur is not a hesitant person either. Since there are not many choices, there is no need to worry about it.
Angela, who was sitting beside her, smiled on her pretty face, and admired her beautiful eyes, as she admired her young boss for doing things so decisively.
In the investment company, Arthur asked Smith to inform Jama and asked him to meet him in the office.
Soon, Smith and Jama rushed over. When Arthur saw him coming, he signaled the other party to sit down and asked, "How are the situations of the US stocks I bought?"
"It's not bad, especially Apple's stock, which makes a lot of profits. According to reports, Apple's upcoming financial report is expected to be read beyond Wall Street's expectations. Apple has been going well recently. CEO Jobs has returned to take over the power, and the stock price has increased by more than double, just one step away from the highest record. It has made profits exceeding expectations for two consecutive years." Smith Jama reported with a smile.
Angela, who was sitting beside her, also spoke at this time: "However, the financial report must be impressive to continue to raise its already high stock price. After all, investors have become accustomed to Apple exceeding Wall Street's expectations in the past two years.
It is understood that Apple sold 6.9 million Ai Chuang mobile phones in the same period last year. Wall Street expects sales to be 7.5 million units this season. In September, Apple announced that Ai Chuang has sold nearly 30 million units so far. According to some analysts' conversion, the sales so far in the season are 3.5 million units, which means that the company still has to step up its efforts to surpass the performance of the same period last year.
If it fails to meet expectations, there may be some boom."
As Arthur's chief investment management consultant, Angela naturally has fully understood Arthur's assets. For every investment in Arthur, she must understand and analyze and research.
"It's true, but I'm optimistic about Apple's stock. If crazy sales continue to be eye-catching and the strong demand for Apple computers in the near future will not decline, then Apple's stock price will continue to rise in the next few months!"
