"Knock-"

"Please come in—"

Arthur, who was looking at the stack of listing materials in his hand, looked up at Smith Jama who pushed the door in as his words fell, put down the papers, and said with a smile: "Do you have good news to tell me again?"

"Hehe, boss, you guessed it right, it's really good news... Smith Jama sat down at Arthur's outstretched hand, looked at Arthur's smiling face and continued: "I just got a call from the Financial Times, and they want to do an interview with your boss. ”

"Oh... Arthur first raised his eyebrows and sighed, then picked up the document on the table without care, stuck it on the desk a few times, shook his head and smiled after alignment: "Interview? Okay, but I really don't have anything to say." ”

The Financial Times, is a financial newspaper, founded in 1888 as a world-famous international financial media, the newspaper in London, Frankfurt, New York, Paris and other major cities and regions of the world at the same time, the subject is mainly global economic and business information, economic analysis and commentary. It is definitely a world-class authoritative financial newspaper.

Such an interview with a newspaper supposedly meant that Arthur should be happy and happy to be able to spread his name around the world, however, the truth is, Arthur really had nothing to say.

He did kill all sides in the financial market, thus becoming the youngest billionaire, but he knew his own affairs, and in the face of professional interviews in finance, he couldn't fool at all, after all, he relied on plug-ins!

"During this period, gold has hit a record high, the rise is so rapid, and the boss's desperate investment in gold has long been reported by the media, this interview, the Financial Times may just want to talk to you about the future of gold, and about your acquisition of coastal power plants. Smith Jama guessed.

“。。。 Arthur frowned slightly, and after a deep groan, he said, "In this case, you communicate with the other party first, deliberate on the interview issues, and then, you write a press release for me." There's no way, Angela is no more, I can only trouble you. ”

"Good boss, no problem. Smith Jama smiled and agreed, then asked, "So, when is the time for the interview?"

"Tomorrow morning, I'll be in Bristol tomorrow afternoon, and the review will be over in a moment, and then we can get a deal done soon and officially enter the Shore Power Plant." Arthur said with a smile.

"So fast?" asked Smith Jama with a slight pause, a little surprised.

"Both sides take what they need, and the natural progress will be faster, to be honest, if it weren't for the promotion of the Bristol Coast Power Plant, I would really like to turn off this Financial Times interview, but everything is to prepare for the listing!" Arthur smiled slightly, revealing the idea of wanting the Coast Power Plant to go public.

"Listing?!" The repeated accidents really made Smith Jama a little stunned, but thinking of this leveraged buyout, this also made him quickly understand the boss's intentions, if the power plant is successfully listed, then a few operations, maybe it can easily circle back the money and wipe out the debt.

"Going public is really the best idea, if everything is ready, you can have a successful IPO in three to six months, and the longest will not exceed nine months, as long as you go public, your assets will skyrocket. ”

"Hehe, that's secondary, I mainly want to use this as a pry board, pry the follow-up plan, there is a listed company, it is easier for me to raise capital, and it can also let the follow-up plan drive the stock price of the listed company, this is the key, I am just worried about such a high debt, whether it can be successful on the London Stock Exchange, if not, you can only choose the AIM market. Arthur frowned, a little uncertain.

AIM, also known as the Alternative Investment Market, is a UK market for companies that are not eligible for official listing on the London Stock Exchange, which are usually smaller or riskier companies.

"The scale of the coastal power plant has reached the standard, the key is to do a good job of three years of business records and sufficient operating costs, but the debt ratio is not so important, to find a strong sponsor, I think, not a big problem. Smith Jama thought for a moment and said with relief.

"I hope to increase the exposure of the coastal power plant first, in the hype of the third phase of the project, the valuation of the first speculation, I want to go public, first sell a part of the equity, select a few powerful shareholders, in addition to exchanging a part of the funds, but also increase the strength and heritage of the power plant board of directors. Arthur told Smith his ideas just to inquire about the feasibility of his ideas.

"The plan is feasible, but the time is too short, even if the valuation is speculated, it is difficult to get the approval of the other party in the actual negotiation, but as investors around the world are feverishly chasing stocks, gold, real estate and oil, asset prices continue to rise, a new round of bubbles is beginning to brew, in the short term, coastal power plants return to normal asset valuations, it should be no problem. ”

Hearing Smith's analysis, Arthur narrowed his eyes slightly, nodded, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, "To start the construction of the third phase of the plan, if we can successfully return the asset valuation to 750 million pounds, it is enough for us!"

"This also needs a series of public opinion to promote, if you really decide to let the power plant go public, then the next year, you may be very busy, not only to preside over the restructuring of the power plant, but also to deal with various reviews and audits, and various brokers, sponsors, lawyers and public relations companies to meet and meet, but also to accept high-profile interviews with various media, publicity, you will be very, very busy, I hope you can be mentally prepared, boss. ”

Smith Jama smiled helplessly and said to Arthur, although Arthur has not experienced the cumbersomeness and busyness of this kind of listing, but just listening to some aspects of Smith, there is a bit of a headache, I have heard in my previous life, the company's listing is like Elder Tang learning from the scriptures, and he has experienced nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties before he can achieve a positive result.

Although listed in the UK, there is no need to look at character and luck. What to be cautious and low-key. But it's also more stringent. However, if you want to break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly, it is inevitable to experience pain.

"Hehe, as long as you can ring the bell, these troubles are nothing. Arthur was actually looking forward to it, whether in this life or in his previous life, where did he think that he might one day become the owner of a public company, and had unimaginable ambitions to build his own energy empire.

No wonder people say that people's YW and ambition will become bigger and bigger with power and career, from the time he first crossed over to be a rich man in the countryside, as he took advantage of the grasp of the future trend and ventured to dig the first pot of gold, his ambition began to grow uncontrollably.

Of course, this is also the reason for his anxiety and pressure that he will lose his advantage in the future, so when Angela sent him the future plan built around energy, telling him that as long as he completed this plan, he could lie down and make money rain or shine, he accepted it without hesitation.

Drought and flood to ensure harvest, trickle of water, lying down to make money, undoubtedly hit Arthur's heart, so that no matter how the future changes, he, a billionaire, will not have the risk of returning to the pre-liberation period overnight.

In particular, the coastal power plant, as the first piece of the puzzle of his energy kingdom, is undoubtedly very important, because electricity is the product that Arthur values the most and can make money when the sky falls.

Modern society, modern people, is completely inseparable from electricity, if there is no electricity, although it is not the end of the world, it will not kill you like a natural disaster, but it will bite you little by little, like an invisible lice poisonous insect gnawing.

Although the real large-scale use of electricity by human beings has not been very long, people living in modern times have never experienced the days of long periods of absence of electricity, and perhaps have never thought of being without electricity for a long time.

Seeing off Smith Jama, Arthur reclined in the boss's chair, closed his eyes, and fell into an infinite imagination of the future.

Around four o'clock in the afternoon, Arthur was packing his things and preparing to leave the company and go to the gym when Smith Jama reappeared with a folder.

"Boss, this is the list of interview questions I agreed with the Financial Times, and the answers I wrote for you... The content of the next two pages is some of the analysis and impressions I wrote based on the recent changes in the international financial market, and you can also read it in case you need it, after all, the favorite thing for these reporters to do is to carry out surprise attacks to make things difficult for the interviewees. ”

Arthur smiled and opened the folder, skimmed through it quickly, looked up at Smith and said, "Thank you, thank you for your hard work." ”

"That's what I'm supposed to do. Smith smiled.

"Hehe, look at these problems, they simply treat me as an investment predator, and let me predict the future trend of gold, tsk, it's really a little flattered, the pressure is so great, hehe... Arthur looked at some of the questions above and couldn't help but joke.

"Hehe, this question seems simple, but it is actually a trap, but the other party insists on keeping this question, and I did not refuse, since they want to use this question to cause controversy, why not satisfy them? This has a great effect on the reputation and influence of the boss in the financial world. Smith shook his head and laughed.

"It's good to guess right, but if you guess wrong, it's a joke. Arthur looked at Smith with a smile and said.

"So, the answer I wrote is to use data to speak, never give a specific number, gold will continue to rise, as for what price, only God knows!" Smith raised his eyebrows a little frivolously, and said with a smile.
