Chapter 284 Investment Starts from Sparrow Company

"Oh!"

Wu Qian exclaimed, and said: "I still have two Aston Martins, a DB11 and a Vulcan, what? Aston Martin is going to go bankrupt? No way, I remember last year he The house sold very well, and it just turned a profit!"

Wu Qian likes the Aston Martin brand very much, otherwise he would not have obtained the root of all evil system. After that, he bought Aston Martin's DB11 for the first time. Unexpectedly, the company had financial problems in a blink of an eye. .

Barbara shook her head slightly, and said with a smile: "Wu, you remember wrongly. Aston Martin made a profit the year before. It turned profitable for the first time in seven years since 2010, and then the board of directors was in high spirits, wanting to replicate Ferrari's successful model , so in 2018 we put in all our efforts to get listed.”

"As a result, 1.36 million pounds were spent on the listing. I was expecting a wave of surges to bring abundant capital for development. I never thought that the capital market gave Aston Martin a head-on blow. In about half a year, the stock price was almost cut in half. , fell by more than 40.00%, and the current market value is about 30 billion pounds, which is terrible."

"Ferrari, on the other hand, has grown by 2015% since its listing in 220 and has a market value of more than [-] billion pounds. It is definitely a model of success, but this kind of success cannot be replicated at all."

Although Barbara is British, her own country's industry is not good enough. She will not show any favoritism when she talks about these things, and she is very rational, at least much more rational than David when talking about Manchester United.

Standing in the moonlight, Wu Qian frowned and looked into the distance, secretly thinking that his company’s choice not to go public was simply too right. The capital market is really not a place for jokes. There will be no capital to patronize, and the ending will be dismal.

"It's really... so miserable." Wu Qian couldn't express the emotions in his heart with appropriate words, and the helm of Aston Martin was too unreliable. , I was thinking of going to the capital market to collect money, but now I am dumbfounded, the steps are too big to be ridiculous.

"Then according to the current situation, how about I buy Aston Martin?" Wu Qian asked.

"Wu, there is a Chinese idiom called 'adult beauty'. If you really plan to buy Aston Martin now, it is 'adult beauty'. Aston Martin is short of money and is insane..."

The top mass-produced ultra-luxury car brands, such as Rolls-Royce, Bugatti, Bentley, Maserati, Ferrari, and Lamborghini, have been operating at a loss all year round. It just so happens that they may make a little profit one year, which is not enough to fill the hole.

Don’t be afraid of losing money. These brands have powerful financial backers who unconditionally support them. They are not afraid of losing money at all. The purpose of their existence is not to make money for the company, but to improve the overall image of the car companies they belong to.

The Aston Martin brand does not know what is going on, and its fate is extremely ill-fated. It has gone bankrupt 7 times since its birth, but whenever Aston Martin, which is full of British aristocratic atmosphere, is in desperation, there will be noble people standing Come out and give me a hand.

Aston Martin’s last powerful financial backer was Ford. During the time under the Ford company, Aston Martin lived a very prosperous life, but in the end, Ford was still in 2007 because of the overall profitability of the company. The low price of 9 million knives sold Aston Martin ruthlessly to an Englishman.

Aston Martin, who has been wandering abroad for many years, returned to his hometown.

Today, Mercedes-Benz Daimler and F1 Red Bull Racing have a small share in Aston Martin, but they are not used for investment, but for technical exchanges and exchanges, and jointly develop vehicles. What a big help to Aston Martin.

"Go to register an investment company tomorrow, and proceed slowly with the rest, Barbara, please sort out and give me information on various real estate properties in London, those that are currently listed for sale, or that are intended to be sold."

Wu Qian looked at the clouds bordered by silver lines in the sky, and he was full of expectations for the future. This world is so interesting!

A football club, a stable water company, and an automobile industry that I love, are enough for me to enjoy for a long time. As for real estate, if I like it, I can buy one or two, and it will be a lot of fun to be a charterer.

Walking in the moonlight, the three of them went back home after walking for a while, the night is always so beautiful!

Wu Qian decided to set off a salute with Barbara to celebrate his move into the Partridge Manor, but the salute should not be too much, two to three rings is appropriate, too many would be unsightly.

The procedure of setting off the salute is very cumbersome, and it is enough to fill thousands of words, so it is omitted here.

The next morning, after breakfast, Wu Qian paid off Barbara's business information service fee, and also paid her a generous tip.

"Wu, I hope there is a chance to meet again, goodbye." Barbara kissed both sides of Wu Qian's cheek with a faint smile, and then stepped onto the Lexus LC500, but the posture of stepping into the car was a bit awkward.

After closing the car door, turning on the ignition and driving away, there seemed to be a trail of flames burning between the lawns.

Standing at the entrance of the villa, Wu Qian looked at the LC500 going away. He secretly thought that women in different cultures have completely different attitudes towards things. He didn't miss anything too much. He turned to Cooks and said, "Cooks, get the car ready!" , let's go too."

Wu Qian has a lot of things to do today, the first thing is to register a company.

In fact, if Wu Qian does not set up an investment company to make acquisitions directly, it is not impossible, but relatively speaking, there will be a lot of trouble, because his nationality has not changed, but it will be much more convenient if he registers an investment company in the UK and then invests , the related procedures will also be simplified.

If someone who is not familiar with the process handles government-related business in the UK, it is absolutely necessary to hire a lawyer. Under the professional guidance of a lawyer, all procedures become much simpler, otherwise it will be exhausting to run back and forth.

In Weissman Law Firm, Weissman is preparing materials for Wu Qian’s registered company. Weissman, who is less than 40 years old, has used his excellent business legal knowledge to work hard in London for more than ten years and opened his own company. A small law firm, with five or six employees, mainly undertakes commercial business.

The process of registering a company is not cumbersome for Weissman. First, Wu Qian was asked to rent an office in an office building, and it took a total of more than an hour to get it done.

Company name: Source of Happiness Investment Company, registered capital: 5 pounds.

There are too many sparrow companies like this, and many people will start such companies overseas, and then carry out various manipulations, such as exporting to domestic sales, and emigrating with their own wages. Weissman is not surprised.
