Wu Qian was frightened by this set of data, 12 billion pounds of investment, the larger the amount of investment, the longer the payback period.

If you invest 5,000 yuan in a snack cart and catch up with the good business, you may be able to pay back in half a month, but if you invest 12 billion pounds, it will take a long time to realize the return on cost and profit.

Of course, this is calculated as a percentage of funds, but if you look at it according to the amount of wealth, it is a different matter.

While the industry earns wealth, it is also appreciating, and the value of the stable investment industry itself is likely to rise steadily, and this part should also be counted as profit.

Through this incident, Wu Qian found that the richer he invested, the less he would lose money!

If 1 million yuan invests in a restaurant in the city, it may go bankrupt in less than two years, but if 10 billion yuan is invested in infrastructure or industries such as water and electricity overseas, as long as it keeps up with the development trajectory and there are no irresistible natural disasters, it is impossible to lose money at all, and you can make a lot of money.

"The future of the water industry is better than electricity? I don't believe it...... Nowadays, there are more and more electrical appliances, and electricity consumption is increasing year by year. ”

"On the contrary, it is water, and water conservation is advocated every day, and water resources are very tight all over the world...... Wu Qiandao, the demand for water is self-evident, and it is very profitable, but he doesn't believe it very much if it is more profitable than electricity.

"Wu, water resources are not tight at all, seawater desalination and sewage purification have already made breakthroughs in technology, but the cost is slightly higher. So I suggest that you have more laboratories that can pay more attention to the world's top universities, and invest in a few more research institutions on this kind of topic, in case there is another breakthrough in technology, once the cost is reduced, the profit is very terrifying!"

Barbara spoke very seriously.

Wu Qian also listened very carefully, and it was the first time he had heard of these common-sense questions...... It does seem to be too lonely and unheard.

"Okay, this is a copy, and I can slowly recover the scattered equity in Thames Water in the later stage, hey, no, if I buy the equity of Macquarie Group, it will already be more than 50%, and I have the absolute right to speak?" Wu Qiandao, his little mistake was made again, and he didn't want to control it himself.

Barbara didn't expect Wu Qian's ambition to be not small, she said: "Theoretically, this is the case, but there will be very strict supervision in some aspects, not that you can do whatever you want......"

Barbara didn't know what the young man sitting across from the Celestial Empire was thinking, and she kindly reminded her that water was the lifeblood of a city, and that it was not something that could be messed around.

"Wu, I suggest that even if you become the owner of Thames Water, don't change the current pattern, some of the other eleven companies don't participate in any management at all, purely take profits and dividends, wait for the company to appreciate, and some will provide very important technical support, if you forcibly buy shares, it will outweigh the losses. ”

"If you don't plan to give technical support, you only need to set up additional regulations for share changes, once the minority shareholders have increased their shareholdings, you also add funds to keep your shares unchanged, so that other minority shareholders can not shake your position and enjoy the dividends that belong to you. ”

Barbara analyzed for Wu Qian that if a huge enterprise wants to operate healthily, it needs multi-party cooperation. Of course, it doesn't mean that you can't do it alone, as long as you have enough funds, there is nothing you can't do, but many times it will not be cost-effective.

Wu Qian nodded, he is no longer a fledgling stunned boy, he knows that there are many doorways in the world of capital, and Barbara's series is very in place, and he is a very responsible investment consultant.

"Wu, if you're planning to invest overseas, it's best to register a separate company overseas, keep that in mind. Barbara said something like this.

Wu Qian looked at each other, Barbara nodded with a smile that you understand, Wu Qian seemed to understand something, and nodded.

As it went, a bus was coming from a distance towards Partridge Manor, and Cooks was already standing at the door, and Philimler was back.

Wu Qian saw a maid in uniform walking down from the bus through the window, he didn't care about those things, and continued to sit in the living room and talk to Barbara about investment, which is sometimes really addictive.

Career and money are a man's most gorgeous coat, and they are always indispensable! If we use an analogy, career is clothes, money is pants, and both are indispensable, otherwise it will be so unsightly.

"Wu, if you decide to join Thames Water, it's best to pay more attention to scientific research in desalination and sewage treatment, which is really important, and I suggest you invest in more such scientific research institutions. ”

"The cost of such a research institute is not too large, about millions of pounds a year, but if there are certain technological breakthroughs, it is definitely worth the price of the ticket. In the past, water affairs did not pay attention to high-tech, but now it is different, and we must look at this industry from the perspective of development. ”

Wu Qian listened carefully to Barbara's "lecture", during which Fei Miller came over to change the newly brewed black tea for the two, and it can be seen from the color of the tea soup that it is much more decent than the black tea boiled by David.

After chatting about the investment project of water affairs, Wu Qian stretched his waist, looked at the sky outside the window, and said, "It's not too early, Miss Barbara, I don't know if you want to stay for dinner." ”

How could there be anything unwilling, Barbara nodded naturally.

Fymüller brought back a total of eight servants, and the rest of the duties such as handymen and gardeners had not yet been hired, but at least there was no problem in maintaining the basic operation of the manor, and dinner was handled.

Just when Wu Qian invited Barbara to dinner, 8,000 kilometers away in the Celestial Empire, there was a small shock on the Internet.

Many young people have the habit of staying up late to watch dramas, and watching TV dramas or anime at night after a boring day of work is a delicious food for thought.

A young man and woman sit back to back in the apartment, looking about twenty-four or five years old, the man has hearty short hair, and the woman has long straight hair, probably having been in the workplace for a while, and the childishness on their faces is gone, showing a trace of maturity.

The short-haired man has a desktop computer in front of him, while the straight-haired woman is holding a laptop. Young people are energetic, and the nightlife generally lasts until one or two o'clock in the morning, and then they fall asleep, and the next day they go to work still full of energy.

At this time, the short-haired man is chasing a British detective-type series, and there is a take-out lunch box on the table, presumably for dinner or supper, while the straight-haired woman is watching a Japanese comic, perhaps just after taking a shower, with a mask on her face.

The plot of the British drama is extremely compact, and the short-haired man is very fascinated by it, but when the episode is changed, a pop-up prompt suddenly appears on the screen.

"At the request of the copyright owner, the film is taken off the shelves, please go to the copyright website to watch. ”

The words on the pop-up window are abrupt and eye-catching.

"What's going on?" the short-haired man froze.
