Rebirth of England.

Chapter 684 Earl Montagu

The reason why Barron met with Brown this time was after the last round of quantitative easing policy this year. It is very likely that the British government will launch a new round of policies again in the near future.

The Bank of England began purchasing corporate bonds on March 2009, 3, launching the first round of quantitative easing of 25 billion pounds this year.

The European Central Bank also began implementing a quantitative easing monetary policy program in May, purchasing 5 billion euros of asset-backed bonds.

But it is obvious that these policies are no longer effective and a new round of economic stimulus plans is needed. Baron hopes that in this round of economic stimulus plans, more funds can be allocated to high-tech manufacturing and technology industries.

After all, although the financial industry is the pillar industry of Britain, Barron knows from his later experience that relying on it alone can only maintain the dignity of Britain, a declining empire. After all, in the financial industry, Britain is still controlled by the United States...

If, as in the previous life, the ties between Britain and America are too close, then when the American ship sinks, Britain will not be immune.

In addition, although Barron currently has sufficient funds, it is fully capable of supporting the development of his business.

But the problem is that capital will certainly choose to invest in regions with lower overall costs - the comprehensive costs include political stability, the quality of workers, and production costs. From this perspective, it is no surprise that China has become the world's factory.

It is not as simple as the demographic dividend. Otherwise, China will always use various reasons to embezzle foreign investment. If social contradictions are acute, it will be difficult to attract capital even with a demographic dividend. It will be even more difficult to replace China and become the world's factory. Well, this is what is happening in a certain Eastern country - India.

Therefore, only if the British side can provide more favorable policies and more support in some aspects, Barron will consider establishing more related industries in the UK. Otherwise, even if the construction is forced, it will eventually lose its competitiveness, and no one will do a business that loses money.

……

"Nockton Manor covers an area of ​​about 8000 acres (about 32.4 square kilometers) and is currently owned by the family trust of Earl Montagu. Their previous offer was 1.5 million pounds, but it is obviously slightly higher than the market value. Some people are interested in it, but they will never buy it at this price..."

Barron's convoy was driving on the road. At this time, he was sitting in the Bentley Mulsanne and heard Julia Moore next to him say:

"Of course, we are going to attend the banquet of Earl Edward Montagu this time, and he hopes to meet you."

"Oh?"

"In addition to Nocton Manor, the Montagu family also owns several other manors. Their family began to make extensive financial investments in the last century. It is said that they made a lot of money, so they later bought some land. But because of this, because they invested too much money, they suffered heavy losses in this subprime mortgage crisis, so they need to sell some land to raise funds..."

This is understandable. After all, people tend to have path dependence. Especially when they make a lot of money through financial investment, they tend to think that this method is on the right track. But perhaps in fact it is just accidental or simply lucky. If this is used as the main way to make a profit, it is easy to cause significant losses.

This is also what Barron has been secretly reminding himself after so many successful financial investments - even though he knows that the main reason for his success is because of the memories and experiences of his past lives, after repeated successes, the admiration and admiration of those around him can easily make people lost in it.

If he really believed so, even though there were still nearly 15 years before his rebirth, due to the influence of his rebirth and the accumulated variables, it would be easy to fail in a certain investment if he simply followed the old ways.

Therefore, Barron needs to stay sober at all times and not be swayed by his emotions.

It was like he was now investing a lot of money in industry, in addition to a certain amount of financial investment, including land investment. This time, when Yulia Moore was helping Barron find suitable land to sell, she discovered Nocton Manor and came into contact with the other party.

As for why Edward Montagu wanted to see her, Julia also answered him:
"When Earl Montagu knew that you were the one who wanted to buy Nocton Manor, he asked to meet you. I'm afraid this has something to do with your reputation in financial investment."

Knockton Manor is located in Lincolnshire, more than 100 kilometers away from London. The convoy arrived there after driving for more than an hour.

Although the main house of Nocton Manor is far smaller than Chatsworth Manor in scale, it is still quite beautiful, and it can be seen that the overall maintenance here is quite good.

"Welcome, His Royal Highness the Duke of Devonshire."

A group of people were waiting to greet Barron outside the lobby. One of them, a middle-aged man in his forties wearing a suit, came over to greet Barron after he got off the car and spoke enthusiastically.

With Julia's whispered introduction beside him, Barron knew that the other party was Earl Edward Montagu.

"Hello, Mr. Earl, it is a great honor to come to the beautiful Nocton Manor."

"This is my wife, Sophie."

"Hello, beautiful lady."

When Barron got off the car and looked over here just now, he noticed the beautiful lady next to Earl Montagu, but he thought she was Edward Montagu's daughter, but he didn't expect she was his wife.

Indeed, although Sophie Montagu was beautiful, she looked to be in her twenties, quite a bit younger than Edward Montagu.

But to be honest, this is not too surprising.

Sophie was wearing a beige dress, but what attracted people's attention was her good figure...

Well, it is comparable to a luxury sports car, with huge headlights and a high-rise tail wing, which is very ornamental.

When the other party extended her hand to Barron with a charming smile and Barron kissed her hand, he could smell a faint fragrance from her.

Unlike the slightly strong scents that many British women wore to conceal their body positions, Sophie had a light gardenia scent on her body, which made Barron take a deep breath in silence.

Next, under the guidance of the Montagu couple, Barron and Julia visited the estate.
