England 1986

Chapter 236 Meet the old friend in a foreign land?
Like the route taken by many entrepreneurs, start with a small-scale business, then establish a company, grow bigger and stronger, and finally seek to go public.

What about after the company goes public?
Soaring worth and assets?
What is going up is the value of the company. What does this have to do with the boss?
If you want money, you have to cash out, but if you cash out more, you will have fewer shares. What about the company's control?
To woo shareholders to sign various note agreements?

If it is really that simple, how did so many bankrupt listed companies come about?

Are they all poorly managed?

In the financial market, there are gains and losses, and there are peaks and troughs in life.

And there are hostile takeovers.

But for any listed company, in the stock market, those shares are not only a sharp weapon for harvesting funds, but also a slick fat.

Is Allen really short of money now?

Do not.
Allen felt that what he lacked most was a sense of security.

He always felt insecure. Although the parade in April made him think about a lot of things, he just didn't feel safe.

In addition, he experienced the scene where the old earl was harvested like leeks in the stock market, so...
Allen has always been very resistant to financial markets.

Later, he made in-depth research on the industrial operation modes of some aristocrats, and was surprised to find out.

Most of the aristocratic industries are often hidden behind, or an agent is introduced.

Anyway, what is pursued is to have one set at home and another set outside, and separate them.

This kind of management method of "small peasant thinking" is better than safety.

First of all, you don't have to worry about your competitors making trouble or stabbing you in the stock market.

Secondly, family businesses can enjoy a lot of unique treatment for nobles, but ordinary companies can't, unless they are very important industries, such as military industrial groups.

Like a listed group company, after the network becomes more and more developed in the future, competitors or invisible enemies can clearly find out all the subsidiaries under your name that are related to the group company, and then arrange targeted blow.

Allen doesn't want to do these things now, he doesn't need to do things like going public to collect money and increase his status, he doesn't need them now, those are all fake!

The cash in hand, the land at home, and the assets under your name are real!

Even if you are a rich man worth 1000 billion, what's the use of your stocks if you can't cash them out?

When a financial turmoil hits, the net worth shrinks exponentially?

It's better to follow the more traditional model of family management, and each company sends a person in charge to manage it, and they have no relationship with each other.

Just implement the simplest and rude flat management, and then Allen will expand his financial group and auditing group and monitor it on time.

His current status is aristocratic, and it is not practical for ordinary people to play that trick on him.

Like some large companies, there are many executives of all kinds, forming multiple small hills, intrigues.

When you come to him, you can't play like this anymore. You can directly assign them to manage, or promote them from among the outstanding employees.

If you do well, you can continue to do it, can't you?

If the job is not good, if it is because of incompetence, then the position will be removed.

If it is because of corruption, then kill it directly!

Simple and simple, what big company is sick, what kind of mountains are everywhere, a phone call calls people to Wales, no one can save them!

This kind of management method is very low-key, and it can also guarantee the internal promotion system, and Allen still holds the title reward in his hand.

Well done, and a knighthood reward!
Take a two-pronged approach, do what you can, and get out if you can't. There are too many talents.

Although this kind of family-owned private company may not be as good as those large listed companies in the future, it is safe. Alan can arrange his own business at will without worrying about too many external forces that are difficult to deal with.

If the product cannot compete with the other party, or if the management is not good, then he will consider himself unlucky.

This means that even if the meat is rotten, it will rot in his own pot.

With this understanding, many things will be easy to do next. Allen plans to slowly cultivate his own industry over the years. He doesn't want to make any huge profits, so he will settle down and gradually become proficient in one line of work. do it.

For example, the wool products factory at home will develop in the direction of high-quality goods and luxury goods in the future.

It doesn't matter how big the company is. In the future, several factories will have to be deeply cultivated, and they will all strive for high-quality products.

As for business, at most he can accept throwing out a company and get some partners to play with. As for deeper listings and the like, forget it, don’t play!
Therefore, with each factory as the center, he doesn't need to build some iconic buildings to highlight his style.

Even if you want to buy property in Huaguo, it is better to go directly to the capital to buy one in the future, and go to Shanghai.
Allen really didn't want to go there.

Like now, how good it is to cultivate the local area deeply, open a factory in a small place, slowly infiltrate the local economy, and become a rich man from the countryside.

Seeing that his young master was a little distracted, Patrice didn't continue talking with a wink, but exchanged glances with Carl, quietly waiting for Allen to think.

Until Allen came back to his senses and glanced at Patrice and said, "Is there anything else?"

"Master, Wei Dewei doesn't have much to say. He wants to invite you to meet as soon as possible. He said that he still has some private matters to discuss with you alone."

"Oh?"

Allen looked at Patrice, then at Old Carl.

Old Carl was smart this time, and quickly thought of the key point.

"Master Wei Dewei's term of office seems to be coming soon. For someone like him, he probably won't be able to make it to the end. Before returning to Xiangjiang, he will definitely have to change the governor to take the blame. Then he is so anxious to see you now."

Combined with Carl's analysis, Allen quickly thought of Weidewei's real purpose.

The old guy is in a hurry!

Seeing so many people making money on his site, I can only stare blankly. Although his term of office is still about two years, does it take time to make money?
In the first phase of Allen's last real estate plan, the dividends to Wei Dewei alone amounted to millions of pounds!
Wei Dewei, who has tasted the sweetness, has been sending letters tactfully urging Allen to start the second phase of the plan.

But Allen has been delayed by various things during this period of time.

Now people who make money are almost running away, and this old guy seems to be unable to sit still.

Let Patrice send a message to see him again.

"Oh, okay, don't reply to him now, Carl, you can arrange the itinerary, let's finish things in Australia as soon as possible, and then I will turn to Xiangjiang to meet Wei Dewei, Patrice, you go to rest first, Follow me to Sydney in a few days."

Allen arranged the next thing and waved his hand to signal that they could leave.

Sitting alone on the terrace, looking at the river view, there are no trees on the other side of the river, and within a few kilometers are areas to be developed, empty, only some weeds grow densely.

A pair of callused hands touched the roots of Alan's ears, then retracted them, and began to massage his neck.

At this movement, it seemed that Nicole was coming, and Alan leaned back and pillowed on Nicole's stomach.

"I've been waiting outside for a long time, but I didn't see you coming out. What are you thinking?"

Allen patted Nicole's hand to signal her to sit down, picked up the perfume on the table and handed it to Nicole and said, "Here is a small gift for you. Let's go to Sydney in a few days and accompany me to the banquet."

"I do not."

Nicole, who was about to refuse the gift, saw the handwriting on the perfume packaging and knew it was perfume, so she swallowed the rejection again.

He happily opened the gift and looked at it. He was not in a hurry to use it, but put the box on the coffee table and asked with concern: "Are you going to see that Governor Bill?"

"Ha, this time I'm going, it's not just to meet him, there are many people to meet."

Allen turned his head and glanced at Nicole, and said with a smile.

The evening of June 8.

The reception that was supposed to be held in Sydney was temporarily changed to Adelaide.

It made Allen a little puzzled.

If he had known this, he would have returned to Adelaide, and he wouldn't have spent so many days in Darwin.

Not far from the villa that Allen rented, Bill Hayden also temporarily rented a villa for this reception banquet.

The wine-red sixth-generation Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped slowly. Allen got out of the car first, put on a light-colored soft top hat, and then stretched out his hand very gentlemanly to hold Nicole in a white evening dress to get out of the car.

Bill Hayden stood by the car with a nervous expression on his face. After watching Alan and Nicole get off the car, he whispered: "Your Excellency. I'm very sorry. There are some unexpected events in Sydney during this time. For your sake It's safe, so I temporarily changed the address to cause you trouble."

Letting go of Nicole's hand, Allen said as he walked, "What's wrong?"

He hasn't read any newspapers recently, so what's wrong with Australia, can it still threaten his safety?
"Uh, a group of gang members from Huaguowan Province made some noise and injured many people. We also lost a policeman."

Bill Hayden explained in a low voice.

This matter is too embarrassing, this Your Excellency finally came here once, and now this kind of thing happened again.

"Oh?"

Alan's heart suddenly picked up, no wonder Boss Cha told him to be more honest in the past two years, is it so chaotic outside now?

Twitching the corners of his mouth, he said, "Change it, I can't stay for a few days after the banquet."

"Ah? Your Excellency, won't you stay here for a few more days?"

Bill Hayden instinctively asked to stay, but as soon as he finished speaking, even he himself became embarrassed. He just said that this place is not safe, and now he is holding back.
Allen lowered his head slightly, glanced at Bill Hayden, but didn't answer.

Regardless of whether this place is safe or not, he has to go to Xiangjiang in a hurry. After playing for a while, it will be too late. He can't rush to go when Boss Zha arrives.

When the time comes, it will be so embarrassing.

At the entrance of the lobby of the main building of the villa, there were more than [-] well-dressed guests standing densely.

Men's tuxedo with a dark top and gray trousers.

Ladies are a bit fancy, and there are all kinds of dresses competing for splendor. Regardless of the looks of these people, these clothes look very good.

But just look at the figure and appearance
It's hard to tell the truth, these guests are basically 40 years old, or even 50 years old, old guys who are in the water.

As the crowd watched the governor bring a tall young man over, an extremely depressing buzz could not be stopped.

Among these people, some of them were the first time in their life to see the nobles of the British mainland so closely.

This noble does not refer to a lord or the like, but a real noble, a hereditary noble!
Because the behavior of the British aristocratic group is extremely low-key, so many people now have the impression of their group, except for the movies, the rest are those little noble prodigals who hang around like street urchins on a fashionable street in London every day young people.

But the one I saw today was different. She was far away, and the innate nobility rushed over her face. She was dressed in extremely low-key and simple clothes, and her walking posture was extremely calm. The governor beside him is more like a servant than this lord.

"Your Excellency, let me introduce you."

Alleviating the embarrassment, Bill Hayden, who was one step behind Alan by his side, took the initiative to see that the hall was approaching, and stepped forward to introduce the guests to Alan in order.

There are congressmen from all over the country who are close to him as the governor, and some wealthy local Australian businessmen.

There were even two academics at the end.

Anyway, those who are miscellaneous can be called the elites of Australia.

One of the old men seemed to have white hair. When he reached out to shake hands with Allen, his eyes were red and he looked extremely excited.

His reaction made Allen a little confused, isn't this a bit exaggerated?

As for?
Allen resisted embarrassment and patted him on the shoulder.

Just like that, the old man became even more excited, pursed his lips and twitched, and wanted to say something, but Alan waited for a long time and didn't hear him speak.

It was Bill Hayden who took the initiative to save the siege, and said in a low voice: "Your Excellency, this is a descendant from Wales. Their ancestors were one of your family's guards."

Ok?
And what about future generations?
Allen looked at the excited nodding old man, and only then did he figure out the origin of this.

It turned out to be the descendants of the guards sent by the Hill family to guide the work back then. Meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign land, no, this is meeting the master in a foreign land, no wonder the old man was so excited to see him.

Time was limited, and Allen asked him how he was doing. The old man was too excited to speak, so he could only go to the banquet hall first, and talk later when he had time.

Nicole held Alan's arm and looked at the Australian elites who were faintly surrounding Alan in the hall.

After being greeted at the door and entering the banquet hall, although some people want to continue to talk to the Earl, the rules are the rules, and Alan will not call them. They must try their best to show their self-cultivation and pretend to be next to others Quietly sociable.

But these people were faintly not far from Allen, and they even squinted their eyes this way when they were talking, hoping that this lord would call him, and have a few more conversations with him in the public.

In the past, although Nicole's family was considered rich, but...
No matter how rich she is, compared with these truly powerful people, her family is not enough, and now these classes that she had no access to in the past are now like a group of licking dogs, faintly surrounding the people around her. .

Even when these people looked at themselves, their gazes were so friendly, indifferent, and self-restraining, completely gone from the feeling of aloofness in the past.
