I Am a Nobleman in England

Someone once said that all the listed companies in a certain country are scams and misappropriating companies. It is precisely because they do not have solid innovative technology and excellent product quality strength, so they need to go public to collect money. This is the only way they can make a profit.

Of course, this kind of view is somewhat extreme, biased, and too one-sided. After all, this situation is not unique to some countries. This situation exists in all countries in the world and is common.

A good company goes public more for the purpose of developing and expanding its own business. But for a poor company, the listing is more for the purpose of collecting money. Of course, there is another kind that Niu Shisan exaggerated during the entrepreneurial stage. He spent too much money and had too many creditors. There is no way but to rely on the listing. Misappropriating money to get rid of the trap or continue to fool around and spend more money, and then the capital chain is broken, breaking the road to go to foreign countries to build cars. . . . . .

In fact, the current good companies are basically some companies that are very profitable themselves. They are not short of money at all. Even if they are short of money, with their high-quality assets, there are many other ways of financing. borrowed. There is no need to go public at all. Going public is actually a very troublesome thing. In the future, the operation of the company will be announced to the public.

To be honest, in fact, the stock price of a listed company itself reflects investors' expectations for the future development of the relevant listed company, and the future cannot be fully seen from the current revenue indicators of the listed company, and there is still a considerable part that needs to be determined. Descriptions of listed companies, while providing reference for investors, these descriptions also provide space for many listed companies to "fool" investors, making many hypes where the concept is greater than the substance.

And these flickers are the most powerful weapon to trigger price speculation and hype, and blind investors' eyes.

And these companies or stocks with various concepts can be sought after in the short term, and the market value or stock price rises. Even if the stock price bubble finally bursts, it is only investors who pay the bill in the end.

Of course, Arthur would not act like that to ruin his character. He only fooled those sponsors, brokers and distributors so that they could set a higher price for the listing price of the coastal power plant and a little more gold.

Financing is only a means of an enterprise. The core goal of an enterprise is to obtain profits through value creation, not to create income through financing. It is as if the goal of success in life is to realize personal value rather than just getting promoted and getting rich. There are many ways to regard means as the purpose The detours of people in the process of struggle are the same for enterprises.

"... Listing means that we have the money to expand the scale and acquire... If we don't want to be eaten in the industry, we can only follow the listing.

. . . If you want to ask me, what am I most concerned about? Two points, the first is how to use money to attract top talents, and the second is how to acquire excellent companies.

"

After the meeting, Arthur returned to the hotel with a stack of listing documents in his arms, and Arthur, who quickly looked through them, received the first batch of sponsors in the conference room of the coastal power plant the next morning. The indifference of his face, the slightly raised corners of his mouth and bright eyes revealed incomparable confidence and composure, his tone was neither humble nor overbearing, and the momentum he displayed seemed to be telling the person sitting opposite him that if he missed Arthur Boleyn, he would be their loss!

Needless to say, these sponsors and brokerages like the routines of people like Arthur the most!

For companies seeking to go public, these sponsors and brokerages should not only look at the real profitability of the company, but also be optimistic about the company's layout of the entire industrial chain, and the future development direction is also critical.

It has been said that in the field of investment, whether you invest in a track or a player, you must lay out a track and select players on the track. Therefore, any investment founder is very important. Including making an angel investment, in addition to business prospects, the most important thing is people.

These sponsors and securities companies are not simply looking at the performance of the company preparing for the IPO, but the personality of the boss and the leader of the company is more critical.

"According to the future plan in your company's prospectus, this listing is for financing, expansion and mergers and acquisitions. We would like to know your target company and acquisition plan. If it can be disclosed."

Hearing the sponsor's request, Arthur didn't seem surprised, nor did he refuse. To be honest, even if they didn't ask, Arthur would guide them to ask this question. How do they cooperate.

"Of course, there is nothing that cannot be disclosed, Corinna—" As he said, Arthur turned his head and looked at CEO Corinna, and nodded at her with a smile.

And Corinna, the CEO, did not hesitate, and handed over the plan that should be confidential to determine the future layout of the company to the sponsor, which surprised the representatives of the sponsor sitting across the conference table. It takes further communication and understanding before we can see these things.

Although it seems a bit too easy, it can also be seen from another aspect that the opponent is confident and not afraid that these future plans will be spread.

The sponsors thought so, opened the future development planning book and looked at it. At the beginning, when they saw the acquisition targets one by one, they could still nod their heads very calmly. They felt that Arthur was a young boss with plans and ambitions, but When they saw the ultimate acquisition target on the last page, the sponsors were not calm.

"...Your Excellency Arthur, are you sure this is not a joke, what is the ultimate goal?"

"British Power Grid. That's right, is there a problem?" Arthur looked at the sponsor's astonished expression, smiled lightly and looked into the other's eyes, said in a very positive tone, and asked some playfully.

"British Power Grid... can't complete the acquisition without several billion pounds. Your plan, but depending on your company's power, the probability of success is undoubtedly very low, and it may even be reverse acquired by the other party. . . ”

The other party almost said that Arthur and the others were delusional and bragging that they would not pay taxes. After all, in their view, a power plant worth only a few hundred million pounds, wanting to acquire a behemoth like the British power grid is a complete joke. Because the elephant will trample the snake to death when the snake just shows its thoughts!

"Hehe, the British power grid provides electricity to a quarter of the UK's population, including about 8.25 million users in London, southeast and eastern England."

Arthur shook his head and chuckled briefly about the data of the British Grid, and then continued: "Of course I know that we are insignificant to the British Grid, but we didn't think about buying it from the beginning. .

Aren't the previous mergers and acquisitions just preparing for the final ultimate goal? Whether it's those four wind plants, or another natural gas plant, it's our preparation to grow ourselves.

When we have completed all the previous work, you say, what is the probability of our success in acquiring the British power grid? How high will our stock price be when we complete mergers and acquisitions time after time, succeed time after time, and become bigger and bigger?

At that time, will it be easy for us to issue bonds? In the case of extremely sufficient funds, will the French be tempted by the purchase price we offer?

And, everyone, I don’t know if you have noticed, but with the deepening debt crisis in European countries, the voice of Brexit is spreading in various countries again, and the voice of Brexit in the UK seems to be very loud, you say France Will people worry that one day, Brexit will make EDF, a giant that controls at least one-third of the UK's electricity distribution market, the lives of at least 100 million Britons? "

Seeing the sponsors shaking their heads and laughing as he mentioned the possibility of Brexit, Arthur smiled slightly and continued: "Perhaps you all think what I said is a little funny and unbelievable, but believe me, everything is possible.

In a word, this is my layout for the British electricity market. I am very optimistic about the electricity market. Its scarcity not only has stable performance and guaranteed returns, but also has extremely low risks. It also has national endorsement, which can continuously generate safe and lasting electricity. stable income.

Even if the ultimate goal cannot be achieved in the end, as long as the previous plan is completed, we can also become the most important electricity supplier in the UK, and even control the ex-factory price of electricity.

My ambition has been revealed to you, now is the time for you to make a decision! "
