0279 I'm going to be a charter officer
When the acquisition was arranged, Wu Qian hired a team of lawyers from Wiseman in the name of Happy Source Investment Company, as well as another law firm with similar specifications.
It is said that it is a law firm, but because the main business includes a series of commercial businesses such as corporate restructuring and mergers and acquisitions, there are also financial consultants in the firm, which is considered very comprehensively.
The small office of Happy Source Investment Company is only forty square meters, and Wu Qian sits behind the desk, looking at the more than ten people who are busy working.
Originally, Wu Qian meant to take Aston Martin first, after all, the automotive industry is his favorite industry, but for some reason, Aston Martin's board of directors suddenly decided that Aston Martin would hold a public equity bid at the headquarters a week later......
In terms of stocks, because of the disclosure of this information, the original market that had been falling suddenly fell.
It stands to reason that this is good news, and the stock should rise, but because no large car company has made it clear that it will take over, it has led to a lot of fog.
When the outlook was uncertain, Aston Martin was naturally not favored by the capital market, and the funds were withdrawn from the market, and the stock price fell......
Aston Martin's decision-makers are playing chess step by step, and those who don't know think that the opposite company has sent an undercover agent to bring down the company......
Because Aston Martin will conduct a public bid for its shares after a while, Wu Qian had to arrange a takeover of Thames Water first.
In the cramped office, the legal advisers and financial advisers were too busy, and the boss of the Celestial Dynasty, who was sitting behind the desk, gave instructions to sort out all the information within two days, and then launched a formal acquisition offer to Macquarie Investment Bank, the largest shareholder of Thames Water, to close the IPO in the capital market.
For the humble working environment, these gentlemen in suits and leather shoes did not complain at all, and the laptop was directly placed on their laps and dried, but these consultants felt that this matter was a bit absurd and funny.
For such a large acquisition, not to mention that each person is equipped with an assistant to arrange a bright and tall office building, it is better to assign a table to each person.
But today's working environment is too shabby, with an office of almost 40 square meters, plus a bathroom, an investment company of this scale, and it is outrageously rich.
This can't help but make these consultants think of "Berkshire Hathaway", which is also a small office, and it is also busy with billions of acquisitions.
If you take a photo and post it to a blog and tell your peers what they're up to, they won't believe it and will think they're daydreaming.
Because of the acquisition, Wu Qian didn't bother to participate in the last car auction of Sotheby's autumn auction, anyway, there are no blockbuster collectible vehicles at Sotheby's car auction, and if you want to buy a top collection, you still have to go to Pebble Beach in the United States.
The consultants were busy with things, Wu Qian sat behind his desk, and he also had a laptop in front of him, this office would not be used often anyway, he was too lazy to decorate it luxuriously, just make do.
Wu Qian will be looking at high-end office buildings and shopping malls in the city of London, real estate is a long-term investment, although the return cycle may be relatively long, but it is better to be stable, if you like it, you can participate in the bidding.
It is true that if you have money, you can buy and buy, but if it is said that it is for the purpose of investment, you can't buy and buy at will, and you still have to pay attention to a little strategy.
For example, if an office building is valued at one billion yuan, the owner thinks that the prospect is very good, and the room for appreciation is huge, and if he does not let go, it will naturally be difficult to buy, even if he can say that the holder can sell it, can he offer it at a cheap price? Obviously, it is impossible, and this is contrary to the original intention of investment.
The real estate that Wu Qian is looking at now is the information that Barbara has collected through special channels, and the price of this information is not cheap, it is more expensive than the price of a salute.
Business information is a very valuable resource, and Barbara usually shuttles through various balls, drinking parties and other activities in the upper circle, shuttling through the crowd, and her two ears are like listening devices, collecting all kinds of useful information, and then sorting it out.
Among the real estate information provided by Barbara for Wu Qian, some are high-end office buildings, some are townhouse commercial houses, and some are commercial department stores, all of which have different business models and different profit points.
For the world's largest economic center, the frequency of real estate transactions in London is very frequent, and some plots of land have to change owners several times within a year, and it can even be said that some tenants in office buildings do not know that they have changed owners, and they change again......
At this time, Wu Qian was carefully browsing a web page with one hand on his chin, and the web page was the information of a luxury department store.
Harrods, Harrods, the UK's most luxurious shopping department store.
"This mall seems to be very good, let's be a charter company......"
Wu Qian muttered quietly, he has a feeling for the department store terminal industry, which naturally comes from his life when he was a child.
After browsing the web for a while, Wu Qian turned off the computer.
Smack!
Wu Qian clapped his hands, and said with a smile to the various consultants in the room: "Let's get here today, if you feel that you are in a hurry, you will tidy up after you go back, and everyone will get off work." Wiseman, remember to lock the door, I'll go first. ”
After that, Wu Qian left the office with David and Bauer, coming and going in a hurry.
As soon as Wu Qian left, the office immediately exploded, and these legal and financial advisors did not immediately call it a day and go home, and immediately surrounded Weisman in the middle after putting down the work at hand.
"Weisman, we have been old friends for more than ten years, thank you for taking care of me, can you reveal what this 'Wu' is, let us know a little more information, and we can know better. ”
A man who was a little older than Wisman said, his face was full of gossip, he was the owner of the law firm he hired later, he was half of Wisman's teacher, and he took Wisman for a while when he first entered the industry.
"Yes, Westman, tell me when such a young man has come to London again. ”
Westman looked at his peers around him, smiled helplessly on his face, and said: "Everyone, I don't know much more than you, I accompanied Wu to register this investment company before, and then he said that he wanted to buy the shares of Thames Water in the hands of Macquarie Investment Bank, and you all know the rest of the matter." ”
