I Am a Nobleman in England

How big is the power of capital?

The power of capital can be greater than people's imagination!

If you don’t give money, any organization or individual will let you work, work for a long time, and pay a huge amount of work, would you like it?

If the money is in place, is it likely that you will do many things that you are unwilling to do, dare not do, and pay a huge price?

This is the power of capital, so big that no matter how much you hate it, you have to work hard for it.

As big as the tools you use when scolding him, it is also produced for you.

It's so big that you want to kill it day and night, but you want to own it day and night.

It is so big that all zfs want to put it in a cage, but they depend on the steady stream of profits it creates. The reality is so ironic.

This is the power of capital. Although it is simple, it is enough to explain everything.

So if you really want to succeed, you have to rely on capital and lean on a big tree to enjoy the shade.

As a successful man, Arthur has long believed in this, because his success is the best embodiment of capital power.

Without a bank loan, as the first pot of gold, he really can't make a big splash so quickly, whether it's the acquisition of a coastal power plant, going public, merging a wind power plant, or future energy layout, there is no way Without the power of capital to boost.

"Boss, this is the detailed asset list of the movie theater chain. We have sorted it out. Here are the financial statements of last year and this year. The liquidation has also been completed, as well as the construction plans of the two theaters..."

After Corina's report was over, Angela took out a folder and opened it, spread out the documents on the desk in front of Arthur, and explained them one by one.

"New theater?" Arthur picked up the plan, frowned and flipped through it quickly, then shook his head and said, "Stop building new theaters, and we will make overall planning after the Odeon theaters are acquired. "

"Okay boss." Angela nodded and took the plan, folded it, put it back in the folder, and continued to take out a document and put it in front of Arthur and said: "This is a personnel appointment. The five theaters are in a state of loss, and we believe that they should adjust their personnel. There is also a candidate for the financial director..."

"Well..." Arthur picked it up with a serious face and examined it carefully. Although he said that he would not interfere too much with the work of the film studio and theater line, he would not delegate the power of personnel appointment. , especially the important appointment of the chief financial officer, it must be his own person.

Although the so-called own people are just the subordinates of his advisory group, and it has only been established for less than half a year. It is a bit ridiculous to say that they are worthy of his trust, but it is better than continuing to hire the original theaters. The CFO comes in trust.

"Okay, just adjust according to this candidate."

With that said, Arthur picked up the pen, signed his name on the document, handed it back to Angela, and said with a smile: "That's fine, let them know that changing a new boss requires more effort, otherwise , they are likely to lose their jobs!"

Angela smiled slightly, put away the personnel appointment and removal documents, then handed another folder to Arthur, and said, "This is the valuation of all the assets of the Odeon Group, I think, if the boss doesn't want to spend all the cash in his hands If so, these might be useful."

Arthur was taken aback for a moment, looked at the smiling Angela, and suddenly patted his forehead,

Then he smiled happily, "You mean leveraged buyout?"

"Yes, the Odeon Group itself has more than 500 million in debt, but with your current credit, boss, it is not a problem to find a bank to support you in a leveraged buyout of it. With the theater chain's profitability in good condition, as long as the capital chain Continuously, there will be no insolvency situation, and then it will be enough to use the profits to repay the loan slowly." Angela said with a smile.

"Hehe, this is indeed a good way, but the debts on my body will increase again..." Arthur couldn't help but laugh, but anyway, if there are too many debts, he will not worry, and if there are too many lice, he will not bite. His personal financial situation is good, and he always likes to add icing on the cake, and the bank that makes trouble will not turn against him.

"Debt is inevitable and not terrible. The key is to be sustainable." Angela said with a smile, and then gave Arthur, a young boss, a detailed analysis of the interest burden and debt sustainability. From the three perspectives of interest burden, debt sustainability and main assets and liabilities, Arthur's current debt situation is safe and sustainable.

"Hehe, if that's the case, then contact Barclays and tell them that I have a good deal and I want to make it cheaper for them." Arthur smiled happily.

"hehe..."

Both Angela and Corinna, who was listening silently, couldn't help chuckling.

"Now that it's decided, let's deal with it as soon as possible, and try to finish all these things before I go to the United States, so that I can go to the United States easily. The big stage there is still waiting for me to go to the opening!" Arthur squinted slightly eyes, with a pointed smile.

In the afternoon, Arthur brought Angela and other members of the advisory team to the London headquarters building of Barclays Bank as scheduled, and met David Wright, the manager of the bank's credit department and the vice president of Barclays Bank, in the conference room.

As a good partner, after the two parties greeted each other for a while, everyone sat down, and Arthur went straight to the purpose of this appointment without delay.

"You two, the purpose of my coming this time is to ask if you would like to continue to cooperate with me?"

David Wright, the vice president of Barclays Bank, quickly reacted, looked at Arthur's handsome young face with a smile and said, "Your Excellency Bolling, do you have a new goal?"

"Hehe, that's right—" Arthur nodded and smiled at David Wright, who responded so quickly, and reached out to gesture to Angela beside him, and Angela immediately took out a stack of documents and handed them to Arthur.

"This is the list of assets of Odeon Group, I want to acquire it!" Arthur smiled and handed the information to David Wright, and continued: "According to the report released by the famous accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers, , the global entertainment and media market has reached US$1.79 trillion. In the next five years, PwC remains optimistic about whether the global media and entertainment industry will continue to be bullish.

It believes that in the next five years, the global media entertainment industry will continue to expand, but the overall growth rate may be lower than the growth rate of global GDP. However, 26 markets, including the UK, will grow faster than global GDP.

In the next ten years, the average annual compound growth rate of the global media and entertainment industry will be 4.4%, while the compound annual growth rate of emerging markets such as Asan, Nigeria, and Egypt is expected to exceed 10%. The reason is that young people Population will be a key factor driving the rapid growth of the market. Young people gravitate toward entertainment and media consumption.

Television, movies, the Internet, and streaming media are all important components of the media entertainment industry, and they are also the main driving force for a growth rate that will be higher than global GDP.

Although I don't want to admit it, the reality is that British movies are undoubtedly in name only. The British movie market has long been occupied by Hollywood, but it is precisely because of this that the British movie theaters have developed vigorously, because of the Hollywood film production factory. Support, there will be no shortage of film sources, and if you do a good job in theaters, you can get at least half of the profits.

This is a good deal. Just yesterday, I bought the movie theater chain in a flash. I came here today to hope to get your support to acquire Odeon Group, the largest theater chain in Europe. After that, I will continue to make mergers and acquisitions, so that Fulfill one of my dreams and form the world's largest cinema company! "Arthur bragged about not paying taxes, and crazily made big pies for the people of Barclays Bank.

Looking at the shocked expressions of the people at Barclays Bank, Arthur knew that he had basically succeeded.
