Money means choice. Money is not everything, but the more money you have, the more options you have.

Big star Nicolas Cage's two properties are a big leak, Arthur really wants to pick them up, however, the funds in his hands are already stretched, and it seems that he can only use investment funds, which also makes him sigh again.

There is not enough money to spend!

And this feeling is not limited to Arthur's own personal feelings as a billionaire.

Where is all the hard-earned money spent? Of course, it's not food, drink, and merrymaking, in fact, the wealth of the rich is basically invested. Despite being a super-rich man with a lot of money, seventy percent of the world's billionaires still have a "feeling that they don't have enough money to spend" and have financing needs.

It's not that these billionaires are insatiable, but if you want to think about it from a business point of view, from an investment point of view, it should be said that money is never enough to spend.

At this time, Arthur sat indifferently in the conference room, quietly watching his subordinates and representatives of Barclays Bank engage in very stubborn negotiations, and the only purpose was to get a large sum of money from the bank on the most favorable terms.

While the financial crisis seems to be showing signs of an end, it has been suffering greatly for the UK's financial institutions. This includes the UK's "century-old number" - Barclays Bank. Although his life was hanging by a thread, he did not accept the help of the British government and persevered through private financing to survive the difficulties, but all along. However, the stock price continued to fall, which also highlighted that its "hard days" were far from over.

Barclays Bank attaches great importance to the establishment of a partnership with Arthur Boleyn, a new billionaire, and Arthur Boleyn's rise is no secret in the banking industry.

It is precisely because of this that these banks have developed a strong interest in Arthur, a high-quality young billionaire customer, as long as they do not die in the middle, the future is absolutely limitless, and they are willing to invest in each other at the beginning to lay the foundation for future cooperation.

And Arthur can also clearly feel the kindness shown to him by the banks he has contacted in the past two days, not only giving him very favorable loan terms, but also saying that they can give Arthur the upper limit of personal credit loans.

Previously, the highest limit on this personal line of credit was the Royal Bank of Scotland, which had the largest deposit in Arthur's personal account, at £20 million. In other words, Arthur could have borrowed £20 million from the Royal Bank of Scotland without any collateral for his man and name alone.

This made Arthur happy, but also lamented the great benefits that wealth and fame had brought him.

In this way, he could alleviate the embarrassing situation of lack of funds, but what he did not expect was that Barclays, at the end of the negotiation meeting, also told him that Barclays had increased his personal credit limit to 40 million pounds.

To be honest, Arthur was still very surprised, and he was also very emotional about the courage of Barclays Bank, until he heard the explanation of Angela, his chief investment and financial consultant, in the car returning to the company.

"Boss, you have 57,900 ounces of spot gold in your hands!"

Well, with the current rally in gold, the gold in his hand is indeed the largest credit base, and it is understandable that the generosity of these banks has decided.

"Angela, which bank do you think we should choose for a loan?" Arthur looked at the documents of several banks in his hand, comparing the conditions, and did not forget to ask his advisor.

"I think Barclays, the most suitable. Angela said without hesitation.

"Hehe, why?" asked Arthur, turning his head to look at Angela with a smile.

"With the company as the main body of the real estate mortgage loan to the bank, the conditions given by these banks are actually similar, because they see the main boss of your personal strength, so we are not difficult to choose, I think, this time the loan, our main thing is to find a long-term, strong, sincere partner, for the next acquisition plan.

The reason why these banks choose to increase your personal line of credit one by one is actually to win over you, a high-quality customer, so that they can get a piece of the cake from your business in the future. ”

The corners of Angela's mouth turned up slightly, and a pair of beautiful eyes flashed with shrewdness, explaining to Arthur. "Barclays was chosen mainly because it was the only commercial bank that avoided government intervention in the financial crisis, and it was not only one of the largest financial banks in the UK, but it also had branches in many other countries, and it was a multinational bank with great influence. The business covers more than 60 countries, including all financial centers.

It's a fact that you can't achieve great success in business without the help of a bank. ”

After listening to Arthur, he narrowed his eyes slightly, nodded silently, to be honest, he still has many concerns about high debt and high turnover, through this period of self-study, he is no longer a novice who does not understand any financial common sense, he knows that this is undoubtedly like walking a tightrope. It's a shortcut, but it's dangerous, and if you're not careful, you'll fall to pieces.

However, Angela is indeed not wrong, he wants to make a difference in business, it is really inseparable from the backing of a strong bank, for him, a newcomer in the business world, there is really not much influence and appeal, then, the next acquisition plan, can only be financed through the bank, want to issue bonds to the market financing, that is undoubtedly beyond his means, how can investors buy him a newcomer's account.

"That's it, I'll ask the president of Barclays to meet and talk, since we have to deal with each other for a long time, let's manage the relationship with each other, everyone is mutually beneficial, they help me raise money, I help them make money!"

Arthur wasn't a hesitant person either, and since he didn't have many options, there was no need to dwell on it.

Angela, who was sitting on the side, had a smile on her pretty face, and her beautiful eyes were full of appreciation, admiring that she was a young boss who was so decisive.

In Returning Investment, Arthur had Smith Jama informed and asked him to come to the office to see him.

Soon, Smith Jama rushed over, and when Arthur saw him coming, he motioned for the other party to sit down, and asked, "How is the situation with the US stocks bought?"

"Not bad, especially Apple stock, which is very profitable. According to reports, Apple's upcoming earnings report is expected to exceed Wall Street's expectations, and Apple has been doing well recently, with CEO Steve Jobs returning to power, and its stock price has more than doubled, just one step away from the highest record, and has made profits that exceeded expectations for two consecutive years. Smith Jama reported with a smile.

Angela, who was sitting on the side, also said at this time: "However, the earnings report must be impressive in order to continue to pull up its already high stock price, after all, investors have become accustomed to Apple exceeding Wall Street expectations in the past two years."

It is understood that Apple sold 6.9 million crazy mobile phones in the same period last year, Wall Street expects to sell 7.5 million units this quarter, in September, Apple has announced that it has sold nearly 30 million units so far, and some analysts have converted that the sales so far in the quarter are 3.5 million units, which means that the company has to step up its efforts to surpass the performance of the same period last year.

If it can't meet expectations, there may be some BO moves. ”

As the chief consultant of Arthur's investment and financial management, Angela naturally has all the knowledge of Arthur's assets, and for every investment of Arthur, she must be the consultant to understand and analyze the research.

"That's true, but I'm optimistic about Apple stock, and if sales continue to shine and the recent strong demand for Apple computers doesn't decline, then Apple's stock price will be higher in the coming months!"

Smith Jama glanced at Angela with a smile, then looked at the boss and said very optimistically.
