Rebirth of England.

Chapter 644 Moving forward together
In fact, up to now, the equity relationships of the companies owned or held by Barron are no longer as clear as they were in the beginning.

For example, Argos Retail Group is a listed company. However, apart from the public shares circulating in the secondary market, although most of its shares are still controlled by Barron, they are still divided into multiple holdings such as Cavendish Trust Fund, Rich23 Capital and Caesar Fund...

All in all, the shareholding structure of Argos Retail Group is relatively simple compared to some other companies.

SEM Group, O2 Telecom, United Energy Group, Woaw Technology, Standard Chartered-Merrill Lynch, LOMX Group...

Among these companies that are getting bigger and bigger, shareholders such as Cavendish Trust (DS Holdings), Global Industrial Investment Fund (GIIF), Caesars Fund, British Fortune Times (BFT) Fund, Rich23 Capital, IC Capital, West Africa Holdings and others will more or less appear on the shareholder lists of these companies.

Not to mention the shares held through some relatively concealed offshore companies.

Barron did all this deliberately, otherwise his name would have already topped various wealth rankings and would have been known to ordinary people. When the Internet was not popular at the beginning, many Chinese people might have known the name of Bill Gates because he had monopolized the position of the world's richest man for many years.

In addition to this reason, it is also to make the proportion of shares controlled by Barron in some of these companies not so conspicuous...

Of course, there are also reasons for "reasonable tax avoidance".

Therefore, especially after the subprime mortgage crisis, he injected a lot of funds into companies that had previously reduced their holdings and whose shareholding ratios had already decreased, in the form of "convertible corporate bonds" or "targeted share issuance" under the names of BFT Fund, GII Fund, Caesar Fund, and IC Capital, thus completing the process of selling high and buying low. Similarly, it also made the shareholding ratios of various institutions in these companies look more balanced...

Moreover, Barron has a special team to do these things, "cross-holding", "shadow company", "offshore trust"... Through these methods, Barron gradually hides behind the scenes and retains a considerable part of the income in offshore companies to achieve the purpose of reasonable tax avoidance...

Why it seems that various rich lists do not mean the real ranking is because too many families have used this method to hide behind the scenes.

After all, the current mainstream rules and laws in Europe and the United States are tailor-made for capital itself, but they will be adjusted due to other demands.

……

"Really? It looks really good."

"It can't be said to be good, it's very good..."

Daisy said to Barron with admiration in her tone:

“I didn’t pay much attention to it before, because at the beginning, this account had a small loss, but just two months ago, it not only started to make a profit, but it has continued to make a profit. Now the account’s profit has exceeded 100%…”

What she talked about with Barron was the account that Barron had previously entrusted to Ramy to operate.

When Barron had talked to Rami, a Palestinian teenager adopted by Barron, he learned that he was also interested in stock investment, so he gave him an account with 50000 pounds.

In fact, Rami only has the operating authority of this account, and this account itself belongs to DS Investment Company.

That is why Daisy can see all of Rami’s operations and account holdings in the background.

An account with 50,000 pounds of funds was not insignificant to Daisy at this time, but it was commonplace. Therefore, she basically did not pay much attention to this account - after all, the securities investment that required her attention was over 10 billion.

Until one day she suddenly remembered this matter, and when she looked at it again, she found this operation somewhat surprising.

The most important point is that Rami is only 16 years old.

However, in Barron's eyes, this matter was only a little unexpected, and it only made him focus a small part on the matter of Rami.

"For now, let's just observe occasionally. By the way, how is Nvidia doing?"

“After we have been absorbing shares for a period of time, although the company’s stock price is still low compared to last year, the trading volume has dropped and there are not many sell orders. Therefore, the speed of our absorption has also slowed down. Otherwise, it is easy to prop up the stock price.”

Baron has never given up the idea of ​​increasing his stake in Nvidia.

After all, he knows how important this company will be in the future AI wave.

Just like when Nvidia’s stock price reached a high point before, even if Barron told Catherine Neville to sell her Nvidia stock and make a fortune...

But he did not take the opportunity to sell even a single share of his own shares in Nvidia.

After all, he knew that even if Nvidia's stock price would be halved due to the impact of the subprime mortgage crisis, the problem was that stock prices were stock prices and trading volume was difficult to determine.

Compared with Nvidia's future market value, the current price, even at its highest last year, can be called a bargain, so there is no need for him to make any fuss.

What's more, after acquiring some Nvidia shares from Vanguard Group, Baron only held 23% of Nvidia's shares through Rich24 Capital and Caesar Fund.

Even now, after Nvidia's stock price has fallen by more than 45% from its highest price last year, Baron continues to buy Nvidia shares in the secondary market through DS Investments in the name of the Cavendish Trust Fund.

According to Daisy, she has helped the Cavendish Trust to absorb about 6% of Nvidia's shares - of course, these shares are held through two offshore companies held by this trust.

In this way, the shares of Nvidia that Baron can currently control have reached 30%.

"That's it for now, just keep the pace. Next I'll arrange for someone to discuss the stock issuance with Nvidia."

In fact, now is the best opportunity for Nvidia to expand its shareholding ratio. After that, the company will start to take off due to the success of its new products.

Barron will proceed in multiple ways at the same time. Not only is there the increase in capital that Barron mentioned, and Daisy's slow absorption of its shares, but the Caesar Fund is also in contact with some institutions, preparing to directly purchase the Nvidia shares they hold.
