Chapter 99 Equity Funds (3/4)

Copenhagen Airport is on the island of Amae, about 8 kilometers from the city of Copenhagen, and when the plane arrived, it was Isabella's father, Frederick, who personally came to pick them up.

Of course, Wang Ye is not a state guest, and he does not have a guard of honor or anything, but his status should not be underestimated, and he is now one of the largest individual shareholders of the Royal Danish Fund.

Therefore, in order to show the welcome to his arrival, it is more appropriate for the prince to pick him up in person.

As soon as they met, Frederick warmly embraced Wang Ye.

"Mr. Wang, welcome to beautiful Denmark and hope you can spend a wonderful time here. ”

To get from the airport to the city, you need to cross a bridge because the city is on another island.

Denmark has a small population of more than 5 million people and a land area of more than 40,000 square kilometers. It is made up of hundreds of islands, large and small, with populations and cities concentrated on the two largest islands, while the rest of the islands are sparsely populated. About 80% of the islands, not even a single person, are completely deserted.

The island where the capital Copenhagen is located is the largest island in Denmark - Zealand.

It is said to be the capital, but it has a population of more than 500,000......

That is, the urban population of a prefecture-level city in China.

The car was driving through the streets, and it was afternoon time. Through the car window, Wang Ye looked at the scenery outside.

Sure enough, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and there are not many people on the streets of the capital. In the whole city, there are almost no high-rise buildings, all of them are small buildings of two or three storeys. And most of them look very old, some years old.

And on the streets, there are not many cars, most of the people are bicycles. It is said that the mainland is a bicycle kingdom, but it is not true. In terms of population ratio, Denmark is the real kingdom of bicycles, because per capita has one bicycle or two, and more than 80% of the people ride bicycles every day.

People in the country will suddenly come here and feel incredulous, this is one of the richest Nordic countries?

Soon came to Amalienburg, where the Queen's family stayed.

Because she was a friend of Isabella and had business dealings with Frederick, it was natural that Frederick's family would entertain Wang Ye, and the place where she lived was also arranged to be a guest room not far from Isabella's bedroom.

Originally, Wang Ye thought that he would be able to meet the queen, but Isabella told him that the queen had gone abroad for another visit and would not return until a few days later.

is over seventy years old, and he often has to fly long distances abroad to visit, it seems that being a queen is also a chore, Wang Ye shook his head again and again.

Dinner was typical Danish food, brown bread, fried pork balls, boiled cod with hot and sour mustard, vegetable bisque, plus some cookies. And, of course, Denmark's most famous Carlsberg beer, that's all there is to dinner.

Although it can't be compared with Chinese food, but in Europe, it can be regarded as okay, after Wang Ye eats, he said that it is much more delicious than the British "looking up at the starry sky"!

Today is just after a long trip, after dinner, we chatted casually for a while and then washed up and rested.

I have to say that an ancient castle like Amalienborg does look very magnificent from the outside, but when it comes to living, it is definitely incomparable with high-rise mansions such as Pengchengwan No. 1 and Tomson Yipin.

This kind of ancient building in the Middle Ages is often hundreds or even hundreds of years old. You can imagine how old it is, even after many renovations and repairs, it is much worse than modern buildings.

If it could, it is estimated that Frederick's family would have wanted to move out for a long time, but no, he is a prince, of course he has to live in the palace......

When I woke up the next day, I had breakfast and started to get down to business.

This time, not only to buy the skincare formula, but also to sign a contract with Frederick to officially take a stake in his royal fund. At that time, in Pengcheng, the two had only reached an agreement, and Frederick still needed to consult the fund's shareholders.

All the shareholders of the fund, in fact, Frederick's parents, sisters, brothers and sisters, they all agreed, and now they can sign a formal contract.

When signing the shareholding contract, of course, it is necessary to check the investment projects and cash accounts of the foundation.

The companies in which the Royal Fund has invested are basically some large Danish companies, such as Carlsberg, Novelty Blue Can Company, etc. Of course, they don't have many shares.

Carlsberg is certainly something that most people have heard of, and the Carlsberg beer produced sells well all over the world and has a great influence.

As for the novelty blue can, its product is actually a blue can cookie, which is also a best-selling product that can be seen in major supermarkets in China.

Speaking of blue can cookies, in the mainland market, it also has a competitor called "crown cookies". Basically, in all supermarkets, these two brands are placed together, the outer packaging is basically the same, the price is crown cookies are slightly cheaper, and they both claim to be authentic Danish cookies.

Many consumers are also stupid and can't tell the difference, but don't be deceived.

Although the packaging of crown cookies is marked with the words "original imported" with a large golden label, if you look at its place of origin, it turns out to be Indonesia!

What's even more exaggerated is that if you check it carefully, its trademark was registered in Denmark after it was sold for a few years.

But this is market competition, although the means are inferior, but there is no way, Wang Ye can't control it, at most pay attention when you buy it, don't buy copycats.

In addition, when looking at the foundation's assets, Wang Ye made an unexpected discovery.

And that's that the Foundation also owns a stake in The Estée Lauder Companies, of course, a very small percentage, about 0.18 percent. The Estee Lauder Companies now has a market value of up to 50 billion euros, and the market value of this share is almost 100 million euros.

"Why do you still have a stake in Estee Lauder? This company has been listed for a long time, right?" asked Wang Ye curiously.

"Oh, this is what our family bought a stake in a long time ago, and it had a 2% stake at the beginning, but it has been financed many times since then. You know, we didn't have the extra money to keep putting into it, so it was diluted so much as it is now. Frederick smiled awkwardly and added.

"This company, a few years ago, was not bad, and there were dividends every year, but it has not worked in recent years, and the company has lost money. ”

Wang Ye nodded thoughtfully and put the matter aside for the time being. I still have to speed up the pace, these real giants, the market value of the company is tens of billions of euros at every turn, if you want to compete with them, you can't do it without strong enough strength.

Frederick called a lawyer and a notary, and the two formally signed the contract, and Wang Ye became one of the shareholders of the Royal Danish Fund.

And the asset size of this fund has also expanded from 500 million euros to 750 million euros! As the valuation of Meigo.com continues to rise, the assets of the fund will continue to grow, which can be described as a great joy.

After this is done, the rest is the skin care product formula that Wang Ye is most concerned about.

Isabella has already gone to the welfare home to volunteer today, and Frederick will accompany Wang Ye to do this, but it is getting late today, and she will not be able to visit the professor at the institute until tomorrow.

According to Frederick, the professor's name is Andrew, who works in the biology department of the University of Copenhagen, focuses on the study of marine biology, and is also an expert in drug development.

Wang Ye took out the small silver box and explained it for a long time before Frederick remembered what it was. Frederick also knows only a little about this skincare product.

Andrew and his father are old friends, and it is said that this thing was discovered by accident when Andrew was researching a deep-sea seaweed.

When Isabella had a facial injury and a scar, her grandfather called Andrew to ask him which medication was more effective in removing the scar.

After Andrew heard this, he sent a large box of that "skin care product", and said that there was no need for medication, and this thing had a better effect on scar removal.

Originally, it was only used as a medicine, but after Isabella used this thing, she felt that it was also good for skin care, so she used it as a skin care product.

And in fact, she is the only one at home, because she is worried about whether this thing has an adverse effect on the skin, Isabella's mother also specially called Professor Andrew to consult. Professor Andrew smiled and said that there is no problem, it is 100% pure biological extraction, and there is no adverse effect on the human body.

After listening to Frederick's story, Wang Ye had more questions in his heart, since Andrew is an expert in drug research and development, why hasn't this thing been developed because it has such a good effect on removing scars.

This question may only be answered tomorrow when I meet Professor Andrew in person and ask for advice.

In the evening, Isabella also returned. Because Wang Ye was here, she also made an exception and did not live in the welfare home, but went over every morning and came back in the evening.

Isabella excitedly told Wang Ye what she had seen in the day, how well-behaved and cute the children in the welfare home were, how popular she was in cooking for everyone, and so on.

……

Another day passed, and this morning, Frederick drove Wang Ye to the University of Copenhagen to visit Professor Andrew, who had already made an appointment with the professor by phone in advance.

It also shows that there is a friend from Chinese mainland who wants to ask him some questions in person. Professor Andrew happily agreed, inviting Frederick and Wang Ye to meet in his lab.

Although the University of Copenhagen does not know much about it, this school is well-known in Europe and the United States.

It is the most famous comprehensive university in Denmark. Ranked first in Northern Europe, the top three in the whole of Europe, and the top 30 top research universities in the world!

Founded in 1479, the university is the second oldest institution of higher education in Scandinavia, with a history of more than 500 years.

From being open to celebrities at the beginning, it has developed into a world-renowned public university with comprehensive disciplines integrating education and scientific research.
