Chapter 149: Cast a wide net, collect more fish, and choose the best to follow

People have always been very curious about the life of the contemporary aristocracy, and they have also seen the rich and willful nature of the British aristocracy from the words reported by various media, which is one of the few aristocratic groups that have retained the legacy of the past until today.

"Everybody thinks that I still walk around in my robe and hat, gazing at my vast fields, and from time to time I shoot down a few pheasants... However, the truth is that I have to worry about the annual renovation of the castle and the sustainability of the farm, and I think every day not only to preserve the value, but also to increase the value. Because I don't want to squander my assets by accident, or even have to live by begging... ”

As a representative of the younger generation of aristocrats, Arthur's frank words in the interview attracted wide attention from British society, and at the same time, he also revealed the true corner of the mysterious life of modern aristocrats to the world.

Showing the plight of the modern so-called aristocracy makes people understand that the so-called hereditary aristocracy is only the creation of time, the privileges of the nobility are no longer so important, and the family background is no longer so important. The reality that individual talent is more important than the title.

"Glory belongs to the ancestors, and you have to walk your own way... ”

In the bedroom in Buckingham Palace, the old lady with gold-rimmed glasses is lying on the scarf, frowning slightly at the newspaper in her hand, and a bright silver tray beside her holds a delicate English breakfast.

"It's just a little bit too high-profile, and it's almost all about him these days. ”

"To be able to wake up, inherit a huge family business, bear the pressure that he shouldn't have at his age, and let himself grow rapidly while keeping the family business. It's very commendable. “

As the housekeeper of the Wang room who takes care of the old lady, he naturally knows the old lady's continuous attention to the young Earl of Boleyn, and he has been paying attention to the recent fact that the Earl of Boleyn has become a popular figure, after all, the people and things that the old lady is interested in are what he, the housekeeper, needs to pay attention to and understand.

"What is especially shocking is that he was able to become a billionaire by investing at this age, which is really a bit legendary, and his changes and achievements during this period are undoubtedly a very inspirational example, which also makes people feel that people from aristocratic families often can't endure hardships, they are content with pleasure, and they are happy and hardworking. ”

"Huh. The old lady chuckled softly, "It says that the tableware of Boleyn Castle has remained the same for hundreds of years, and the whole castle has always been maintained in a well-ordered and refined state, following the ancient etiquette. No wonder he was able to write about the aristocratic etiquette of that era in such detail, perhaps, find a chance, you should go and see... ”

"Your Majesty has such intentions, and that is the glory of the Boleyn family. As soon as he heard the old lady's words, the housekeeper of the Wang room couldn't help but light up his eyes slightly, and said with a smile.

"Huh. The old lady chuckled again, folded the newspaper in her hand, set it aside, and began to enjoy her breakfast.

At the same time, Earl Arthur, who was also eating breakfast, was naturally very happy and satisfied with the hot topics he caused and the overwhelming reports in the newspapers, and was happy that his hype was successful.

It wasn't until he turned to the financial page and saw the news that the Brown government sold the Channel Tunnel to pay off its debts, and at the same time, he realized again how little money he had spent.

Sell what you can sell, exchange assets for money – this is a big deal that Britain is busy with right now.

The UK has been under pressure from the economic crisis, and Prime Minister Gordon Brown is hesitant to cut government support, because government spending is an important means of stimulating economic recovery. It is impossible to reduce expenditure, and increasing revenue is the direction to consider. As a person who lives on votes, of course, Brown does not dare to raise taxes, so the British government has only one option if it wants to survive, smash the pot and sell iron.

The first batch of ZF assets to be sold this time includes a 33% stake in European enriched uranium, the state-run gaming company Tauter, the Dartford toll bridge across the Thames River in London, the railway connecting the Channel Tunnel between Britain and France, and the student loan company. The value of these assets is estimated at £3 billion.

And the government is also prepared to sell vacant properties in its £220 billion property when the market improves.

Beginning in 1979, the Iron Lady's privatization policy gained momentum in the decades since. From oil exploration and steel to telecommunications, energy and water supply, industries have become completely private. This marked a seismic change in British politics, a success that was of course emulated around the world.

To tell the truth, these assets in the monopoly industry, Arthur is very red-eyed, don't think that investing in gold, easily make so much money, and also understand the future trend, you can use this to play the capital game and make more money, he is very happy, and feels at ease.

On the contrary, Arthur did not want to regard capital games as his main business, but rather that industry was the foundation of long-term development.

Capital is an angel, and capital is also a devil.

Arthur can make money by understanding the general trend, but he is not God, and he can't make a lot of money every time, besides, what he remembers about the international financial market is only that, when his forward-looking advantages are used up in the future, what should he do?

Well, his personal wealth should be very considerable by then, but he can't just hold on to the money and wait for death in the future, right?

The capital game, in Arthur's eyes, is the rootless duckweed, may be brilliant for a while, but after all, it cannot be brilliant, no matter which country, under which rules, industry is shouldering the heavy responsibility of value creation, is the cornerstone of wealth creation.

At this point, Arthur is very respectful of the view of the richest man in a certain HUA, that is, "When doing business, you must remember that there must always be a product in your hand that you can make money when the sky falls." ”

To tell the truth, Arthur has always wanted to buy himself an iron job bowl after he has enough first pot of gold, so that even if the sky falls, he can lie down and make money in the industry to support his future and the future of his family.

Although there are no near-term worries, there must also be long-term concerns.

Undoubtedly, although these assets that Brown ZF wants to sell, although they may not be the most profitable assets, they are monopoly assets, gaming companies, toll bridges, undersea tunnel railways, shares of enriched uranium companies, student loan companies, which are not unthinkable transactions in previous lives?

"When the money is used, Fang hates less!"

In the study, Arthur leaned back in the boss's chair and sighed with some embarrassment, 240 million US dollars is definitely a wealth that he never dreamed of in his previous life, but now he really feels too little, and it is only more than 150 million pounds when converted into pounds.

However, it also cost £36 million to buy the Southampton club, and he, a billionaire, although very young, should have the least amount of wealth.

It seems that in the short term, he can only rely on the capital game to increase his value. In addition to continuing to bet on gold, high-quality stocks such as Amazon, Walmart, Google, and Netflix in the United States are also to be bought.

Since you can't grasp the success or failure of the details, then grasp the general trend, cast a wide net, collect more fish, and choose the best!

Thinking of this, the previous bit of arrogance and smugness caused by becoming a billionaire was completely suppressed, lit a cigar, calmed down his mood and somewhat restless thoughts, and continued to work as a keyboard worker and rush the manuscript.

is now worth a while, not when he can freely let himself go, if he doesn't get a dozen or two billion, where will he have the confidence to wave all over the world?
