Chapter 145, word-of-mouth effect
Time is rushing, William has already spent a week in London, and this trip to London, he has two main tasks.
In addition to strengthening communication between the two sides, another task is to deal with the industry in the UK, in other words, to sell the unimportant shares in hand one after another.
London's stock market is now crazy, and it's not just Ferdinand who is retreating, but many consortia are retreating.
With so much money, it's not easy to pull out of the stock market, and if you can't find a receiver, it's over.
The real world is not, tomorrow the stock market crashes, I will retreat today. If that's the case, then it's still a fart, as soon as you sell the stock market, it crashes, who took the order?
Sell hundreds of millions, or even billions of stocks at once, dream, right?
How many retail investors will have to eat?
Now the stock market in London is so crazy that the new money is only 8 million pounds a day, and once the order is sold too much, the stock market will collapse early.
Don't expect that the consortium will take over, they are not stupid, if this happens, they will only run faster!
The total market size of the London stock market is only more than 20 billion, which is the total market value of the companies listed in London, not the funds circulating on the stock market.
If it is really a smashing order, William will be able to stud the stock in his hand now, and then it will explode like the financial crisis in 1929.
Don't think that the United States is finished, the financial crisis no longer exists, this is impossible! Supply and demand in the capitalist world, because of the lack of information, overcapacity is a matter of time.
A big player like Ferdinand was destined to not wait until the end, and if it weren't for the rise of the British real estate economy, he would have retreated two years ago.
Now Ferdinand still doesn't dare to continue playing, what is the GDP of the United Kingdom? The stock market has absorbed so much money, which is very abnormal!
In fact, when the Southeast Asian colonies rebelled, the British economic crisis should have erupted, because of the war, the rubber plantations fell into the hands of the rebels, and these rubber companies should have gone bankrupt en masse.
However, this is just a normal market situation, and the bookmaker doesn't know that Southeast Asia will rebel?
In order to raise the stock price, everyone worked together to raise the price of rubber in the international market to survive this crisis.
Immediately after that, the real estate development company came out again, this is a high-quality enterprise, look at the housing prices in London, you can know that a real estate company with no profit of 70% or 80% is not a qualified real estate company!
Then it began to skyrocket all the way, anyway, the book assets of the enterprise are growing, and in the environment of housing price growth, the house in hand is the asset.
Before the development of a real estate project is completed, the price of housing prices has risen several times, and it is strange if the assets of the enterprise do not rise?
Debt, which is also growing rapidly, is gradually withdrawing capital.
From now on, William's main job is to sell about a million pounds of stock every day, and he can't just sell the same stock, but also ship it slowly separately.
In the event of a stock market turmoil, it is necessary to take immediate measures, and occasionally buy a sum of money, so as not to let the stock price fall.
The radio and newspapers are full of good news, and now the British don't ask about the weather when they meet and greet each other, and the ghost weather in London is the same in winter, there is nothing to talk about, and everyone starts to discuss stocks!
"You bought that stock today?"
"How much did you earn today?"
“……”
Buying is earning, and now seventy or eighty percent of Londoners have become stockholders, as if if you don't buy stocks, you are behind the times.
Even if it is a cold winter wax moon, even if it is full of haze, it can't stop everyone's enthusiasm for stock trading.
From 1926 to the present, the market in London has not fallen, and has soared all the way to the present.
William Jr. was already dumbfounded, and he suddenly discovered that the best money in the world is in the stock market!
Watching the stock price rise every day, he keeps selling, as if he is losing money every day, which makes him very uncomfortable.
"Vicky, you said that if you sell the stocks in your hand now, will I lose a lot, and if I sell it again after a while, will it be better?" William asked, confused
"Your Highness, this is what Your Majesty means, and all this money is Your Majesty's money, how can you feel like you're losing money?" Vicky asked rhetorically
"Okay, so much money, it has nothing to do with me, the old man is deliberately tossing me and making me feel itchy!" William said very depressedly
Isn't it? Anyone who looks at hundreds of millions of assets in their hands, but is not their own, that feeling is not very good.
Private property is sacrosanct and has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the West, even if he and Ferdinand are father and son, Ferdinand's money is not equal to his money.
With so much money, he can't use it as a big son. Like the average Bulgarian, from the age of sixteen, every penny he spends can only be earned by his own efforts.
Even if you can get financial support from your parents, it's all debt, and it's still usury, and the interest is much higher than that of the bank.
No way, this is the case for many families in continental Europe, and this is the Western education model.
At most, Feidi is a little strict with them, and when he becomes an adult, he also assigns them a lot of tasks, and he can't do it if he doesn't complete them.
Let them realize in advance that rebellion has a price, and that failure to complete the task will affect their future inheritance rights, and Ferdinand will allocate the inheritance ratio according to their performance.
For example, this time to help sell stocks, in fact, is also an experience, to test his adaptability, he has the right to choose to sell a little more, or sell a little less.
In the end, there will be a professional economic expert who will score for him, which is the result of this test.
"Your Highness, the market is about to open, what are the stocks to be sold today?" Vicky asked
William quickly took out his pen, sketched it, selected the type of stock, and also marked the share of each share.
He kept a few stocks that he thought had a lot of room to rise, and chose some junk stocks to sell.
It is a sum of money to be able to make an extra amount, although the money is not his now, and some of it will become his in the future?
After inspecting the investment environment in London, William was surprised to find that apart from the stock market and real estate, he could not see any investment industry with "money"!
Even with the spread of deindustrialization in the British Empire, the local factories in London have not decreased.
Many industries are already saturated, and if you want to get involved, it means cruel market competition, and the prospect of profit is worrying.
William was surprised to find that if this was the case in the British Empire, then an economic crisis was imminent.
At this moment, he somewhat understood his father's decision, this kind of judgment is really accurate!
They are not retail investors, they can't make the last pot of gold, and the best thing is to withdraw from the stock market and then have an economic crisis in a month or two.
The economic crisis broke out just after the evacuation, and this kind of hateful thing is not suitable for their identity. Even if you take advantage of the fire to rob afterwards, you must pay attention to your appearance and not go too far.
The capitalist world has long been connected as a whole, and once the world's largest economy has an economic crisis, then the world economic crisis will erupt.
Under normal circumstances, this time will be two or three years later, and everyone will need time to retreat from the stock market. Stocks on the surface can not be sold, but secretly they must be liquidated.
When the economic crisis breaks out, everyone will be surprised to find that the most heavy losses are actually these consortia, in fact, they have already made a lot of money.
The industries that remain on the surface are all to hide people's ears, otherwise these consortia are withdrawing their investments, and retail investors will not be stupid and waiting for death?
……
"William, are you very interested in stocks?" Prince Henry asked, confused
"No, it's just a task assigned by the old man, to sell some stocks and cash out!" William said indifferently
"Are you raising money?" Prince Henry asked in surprise
"Of course, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, the old man thinks that he must prepare a large amount of cash in his hand, and if there is an accident, he can also use the money to smash it back to the normal track!" William thought for a moment and said
It's an excuse, an excuse that can be made public, and even if someone finds out, they won't find anything wrong.
If you want to be a king, you also have to invest, if you don't have real money, just out of thin air to fool, who will support you?
Do you really think that the current affairs in North America are still unresolved, and it is all those congressmen who are arguing? How is this possible?
Even if everyone's controversy is fought again, can you vote? The minority obeys the majority, and it takes several years for such a simple thing to do?
The real situation is that the masterminds behind the scenes, led by Ferdinand, are already manipulating the politics of these countries.
Through the means of elections, the opposition was brought down and replaced with a group of "own people" who were willing to cooperate.
Now that the plan is almost complete, and the success is basically assured, it is time to move to the forefront.
"William, you are so lucky, Ferdinand the Great has made a lot of money this time!" Prince Henry said enviously and jealously
"Don't you? has invested so much, shouldn't you back down in the later stage? William asked, confused
"Of course, there is, but not as strong as yours, in this month in London, you have raised more than 50 million pounds, and it is still going on, we can't compare!" Prince Henry said helplessly
With only 50 million pounds, the British royal family is naturally not lacking, and the assets of the British royal family in the Victorian era exceeded 100 million, and after so many years, I don't know how many times it has swelled.
But it is impossible for them to come up with so much money at one time as a later expense.
This risk is too great, once it fails, it will be lost, and such a risk is beyond their ability to bear.
The money of the British royal family belongs to the entire family, not George V alone, and it is impossible to spend all of it on his son, otherwise the other family members will not agree.
This is different for the Bulgarian royal family, the assets of the Kohali family have long been divided, and all the money is Ferdinand's own. No matter how much it is spent, no one can point fingers.
Otherwise, Boris would not have been able to go with 10,000 Janissaries to Finland to be king, and this cost was not low.
Do you know that Ferdinand still has four young sons waiting for him? For the sake of fairness, the latter four sons should also be treated in the same way, which is equivalent to the Bulgarian royal family having to independently support 50,000 private soldiers.
This amount of money is enough to impress any royal family in Europe. If you add in the investment, it's a huge amount of money, enough to bankrupt 50 percent of the world's national finances.
Well, this is not a problem, it can only be said that the countries of the world are too poor now, and the vast majority of countries have less than 10 million pounds of fiscal revenue every year.
"Henry is almost enough, I don't believe you don't have a small coffer, London is so easy to make money, how can you be poor?" William said with a laugh
"It's really easy to make money, but it's also easy to lose money. The stock market is changing, it's okay to get a little money, but if the number is large, you must use the power of the royal family.
I have limited resources at my disposal, and I can't toss around on this very often!
By the way, since you know that the stock market is easy to make money, why don't you make it yourself?
With the strength of Bulgaria, there is no problem at all in building a financial center in South-Eastern Europe, and you actually gave the opportunity to Vienna? Prince Henry asked, confused
"Henry, are you kidding? Playing finance in Bulgaria, are you sure it's not a dream?
This is against the Constitution, how can our royal family take the lead in violating the Constitution? William feigned surprise
"What? You have such a strange constitution, don't your domestic capitalists want to raise money in the story? Prince Henry asked, confused
"You're not wrong, they really don't want to raise money in the capital market! For them, the most important thing is to pass on the industry in their hands, and the shares can never be sold!
I still remember that eight years ago, the government proposed to open up the stock market, and then it was sprayed with blood by members of Congress, and then the congressmen were angry and added this article to the constitution.
At that time, it was supported by the entire Bulgarian population, and nothing has changed even now!
The stock market crash 30 years ago pitted the Bulgarian people, and they have not recovered until now, they reject any virtual economy!
In their opinion, whoever dares to say that the stock market is open is a liar! William replied with a smile
"It's a conservative country, but you're making a lot of money!" Henry said enviously
What does it mean to be conservative?
There are so many meanings in this. But for a royal family, a conservative country is far more comfortable than an open country.
Obviously a positive word here, Bulgaria is very conservative in many ways, but it is not far behind! Whether it is science and technology, or economy, it has come to the forefront of the world.
This system has been proven to work!
So to put it another way, this is the simplicity of the people's customs and the high quality of everyone's moral cultivation.
It is also true that the whole world knows that the moral cultivation of the Bulgarians is the highest, which is embodied in the moral cultivation of the capitalists.
Maybe it's because it's a habit to become natural, even if they go abroad, they still value integrity, which makes the people who work with them very reassuring.
Even overseas factories never arbitrarily deduct or default on wages, and they should pay a lot of overtime pay, and they do things in full accordance with the contract.
Under the support of the majority of peers, every time the workers go on strike, the workers of these factories are embarrassed to join in the fun.
It's hard for the average person to understand, why is that? But William is clear, this is the reputation that everyone deliberately operates.
On the surface, it seems that in this way, a lot of money is made less, but in fact it is the opposite.
All things being equal, everyone is always willing to cooperate with the Bulgarian capitalists, because it means guaranteeing.
The same goes for the goods sold on the market, many people think that the quality of Bulgarian products is better, and the reason is that their capitalists are disciplined and do not make them shoddy.
This secret can't be hidden from the real smart people. But the problem is that knowing is knowing, but everyone can't learn.
Unless you can change the people of a country and make them all become well-behaved, then you can play this business model.
Otherwise, if you are a business playing like this, then just wait for it to be finished!
If it weren't for Ferdinand himself wearing a bunch of vests, bringing a wave of rhythm, and purging a bunch of unruly people in advance, the rest would be law-abiding "smart people", and this kind of reputation would not have been able to operate.
Oh, and it looks like there's not much left. After all, there are not many companies that can go abroad, and large enterprises still pay attention to their corporate image, and it is impossible to easily smash their own brands.
