money trouble

Chapter 287 I want to be a charterer
After the acquisition was arranged, Wu Qian hired Weisman's lawyer team in the name of the source of happiness investment company, and there was another law firm with similar specifications.

It is said to be a law firm, but because the main business includes a series of commercial businesses such as corporate restructuring and mergers and acquisitions, there are also financial consultants in the firm, which is very comprehensive.

The small office of the Source of Happiness Investment Company was only [-] square meters. Wu Qian sat behind the desk and watched over a dozen people who were busy working.

Wu Qian originally meant to win Aston Martin first. After all, the automobile industry is his favorite industry, but for some unknown reason, Aston Martin’s board of directors suddenly decided that Aston Martin would A week later, a public equity auction will be held at the headquarters...

In terms of stocks, because of the disclosure of this information, the stock market, which had been falling continuously, suddenly fell.

It stands to reason that this is good news, and the stock should go up, but because no large car company has made it clear that it will take over the order, it has caused a lot of fog.

When the outlook is uncertain, Aston Martin is naturally not favored by the capital market. Funds have been withdrawn from the market one after another, and the stock price has plummeted. Fortunately, the protection mechanism has been triggered at a critical moment. Otherwise, it will really lose all its underwear...

The decision-makers of Aston Martin played tricks one by one, and those who didn't know thought they were undercover agents sent by the rival company to bring down the company...

Because Aston Martin will conduct public bidding for equity after a while, Wu Qian had no choice but to arrange the acquisition of Thames Water first.

In the small office, the legal advisors and financial advisors were too busy. Sitting behind the desk, the boss of Tianchao gave an order to sort out all the materials within two days, and then initiated a proposal to the largest shareholder of Thames Water, Macquarie Investment Bank. Formal acquisition invitation, IPO delivery in the capital market.

Regarding the crude working environment, these gentlemen in suits and leather shoes did not complain at all. The laptops were directly placed on their laps and started working. There were no complaints, but these consultants felt that this matter was a bit absurd and funny in their hearts.

For such a large acquisition case, let's not say that each person is assigned an assistant and arranged in a bright and tall office building, at least they should be assigned a desk.

But today's working environment is too shabby. An office of about [-] square meters, plus a bathroom, is an investment company of this size, and it is outrageously rich.

This can't help but make these consultants think of "Berkshire Hathaway", which is also a small office, and is also busy with acquisitions worth tens of billions.

If you take a picture and post it on a blog and tell your peers what they're up to, they won't believe it, they'll think these guys are daydreaming.

Because of the acquisition, Wu Qian didn't even bother to participate in the last car auction of Sotheby's autumn auction. Anyway, Sotheby's car auction didn't have heavy collectible cars. If you want to buy top-level collectibles, Still have to go to Pebble Beach in the United States.

The consultants were busy with their work. Wu Qian sat behind the desk by himself, and there was a laptop in front of him. This office would not be used often anyway. He was too lazy to decorate it luxuriously, so he just made do with it.

Wu Qian is looking at high-end office buildings and shopping malls in downtown London. Real estate is a long-lasting investment. Although the payback period may be relatively long, it is stable. If you like it, you can participate in the bidding.

It is true that you can buy, buy, buy if you have money, but if the purpose is investment, you can’t buy, buy, and buy willfully. You still need to pay more attention to strategy.

For example, an office building with an estimated value of one billion. The owner believes that the future is bright and the appreciation potential is huge. If you hold on to it, it will naturally be difficult to buy it. Even if you can persuade the owner to sell it, can you offer a cheap price?Obviously it is impossible, which violates the original intention of investment.

The real estate that Wu Qian is looking at now is the information that Barbara has collected through special channels. The price of this information is not cheap, even more expensive than the price of a salute.

Business information is a very valuable resource. Barbara usually shuttles among the crowd through various activities in the upper circles such as dance parties and receptions. Her two ears are like listeners, collecting all kinds of useful information and then sorting it out.

Among the real estate information provided by Barbara to Wu Qian, some are high-end office buildings;

For the world's largest economic center, the frequency of real estate transactions in London is very frequent. Some lands have to change owners several times within a year. It can even be said that tenants in some office buildings do not know that they have changed new owners. I changed it again...

At this moment, Wu Qian leaned on his chin with one hand and was seriously browsing a webpage, which contained information about a luxury department store.

Harrods, Harrods department store building, the most luxurious top shopping department store in the UK.

"This shopping mall seems to be very good, let's be a charter..."

Wu Qian whispered, he has a feeling for the department store terminal industry, which naturally comes from his childhood life.

After browsing the web for a while, Wu Qian turned off the computer.

clap clap!

Wu Qian clapped his hands, smiled and said to the various consultants in the room: "Let's stop here today. If you feel that time is running out, you can organize it after you get back. Everyone is off work. Weissman, remember to lock the door, I'll go first gone."

After all, Wu Qian left the office with David and Ball, coming and going in a hurry.

As soon as Wu Qian left, the office immediately exploded. These legal consultants and financial consultants didn't stop work and go home immediately. After putting down their work, they immediately surrounded Weissman in the middle.

"Weiseman, we have been old friends for more than ten years. Thank you for taking care of me. Can you tell me who this 'Wu' is from? Let us know a little more information, so we can know."

A man who was a little older than Weissman said, his face was full of gossip. He was the boss of the law firm hired later, and he was half of Weissman's teacher. I took him for a while when I entered the industry.

"Yes, Weisman, tell me, when did such a young big man come to London again."

Weissman looked at his colleagues around him, smiled helplessly on his face, and said: "Everyone, I don't know much more than you. I just accompanied Wu to register this investment company, and then he Speaking of the acquisition of Thames Water from Macquarie Investment Bank, you all know what happened next."
