Alan Wilson was fully dressed and sat next to Anna and said, "You want someone big to put pressure on me again? Just believe me, acquisitions now do more harm than good. Although the steel industry is a sunset industry, there are still a few years left. . And do you know why it always happens that rich people go bankrupt and jump off buildings?"
"What do you want to say?" Anna leaned towards Alan Wilson, still angry that the manned space flight could not persuade the man to help.
"Family businesses are like crabs." Alan Wilson used an analogy. "Crabs have two characteristics. First, the shell is the strongest part. Second, you cannot eat a dead crab. The reason why you cannot eat a dead crab is because you When you see a crab die, the crab has been dead for a long time. Crabs die from within, and the decline of a family business is much like a crab."
"Once everyone sees that a very rich man is no longer what he used to be, it means that the rich man has been in trouble for a long time, and it is not just what you see on the surface."
"Isn't that better? Now is the time." Anna was confused, why should she wait any longer.
"This brings me to another point. Often when rich people go bankrupt and jump off a building, it is not because they have lost all the funds on their books. Instead, they have already incurred huge debts. Why is this? Because when he encounters difficulties in his career, he will definitely Use your connections to save your career as much as possible. When you are really at your wits end, the deficit on your books is not just what you see."
"In terms of personal connections, you sisters are still not on par with Germany's Junckers. When Krupp encounters operational difficulties, he will first seek help from the old families in the Ruhr area, and then ask for government support. In the end, when there is no other way, he can take turns. Until you came forward, where were you now?"
It's not that Ellen Wilson doesn't want to help, but it's not time, and it's useless for the two sisters to worry now. It is not that simple to swallow up this kind of enterprise that is almost a symbol of old Germany.
Ana couldn't help but believe it when she heard it, but she was still not convinced, "Aren't you trying to comfort me?"
"No, I will not deceive women in my career. If I add another premise, I will never deceive Russian beauties..." Alan Wilson swore that his loyalty to Mao Mei is a lesson.
"What's so special?" Anna was a little funny and didn't know why she added such a premise.
"You don't understand!" Alan Wilson did not explain that the term Russian beauty refers to a macro-concept group rather than a narrow definition of an individual.
If you say "Russian beauty" to someone from a big country, he will nod and say that Russian women are indeed beautiful.
But if Russia is replaced by the United States, Germany, and the United Kingdom,
You will see a question mark face, just asking you where you look good.
The matter of Krupp's operating difficulties came to an end, and Anna no longer struggled with the matter. Ellen Wilson came once, and she couldn't always ask for it, so she said some things that officials were interested in, such as the conference on the prohibition of nuclear weapons. of the opening.
"That meeting was of little significance. Nuclear weapons would never be used in actual combat again. The conflict would definitely break out in the form of a conventional war." Alan Wilson showed little interest and paid no attention to the Stockholm meeting.
"I see that you are in a bad mood for playing a supporting role for Britain." Anna laughed at the lonely nobles at this time, pointing out the fact that Britain no longer has such a big weight compared to the United States and the Soviet Union.
Alan Wilson glanced sideways at Anna, curled his lips and muttered, "Do you think the United States is strong? It's not as good as the Qing Dynasty."
"What did you say?" Anna didn't hear the man's murmur clearly and asked quickly.
"It's nothing." Alan Wilson kept silent, not because he knew the mistake, but because he didn't want to bother to explain.
The widespread suspicion caused by the superpower's inability to deal with a weakling was the last straw that broke the Bretton Woods system. That's why after Reagan came to power, he continued to take military actions against smaller, weaker countries to restore countries' suspicion of the United States.
Of course, this will not have an impact on the United Kingdom. It is limited to countries like the United States and the Soviet Union that lead the world. Now it is not before World War II, and the United Kingdom no longer leads the world.
After Pamela Mountbatten returned to China, she demonstrated a busier life than her husband. The Mountbatten Group has multiple headquarters. Wherever the female president is, that is the headquarters of the Mountbatten Group.
The current main job of the female president is to sell the stocks she bought after the Cuban Missile Crisis, but she doesn't necessarily have to cash them out. She wants to see if there are any other investment bonds that can serve as a store of value.
David, the project manager in charge of North American business, was pointing out some current bonds to the female president, "The bond amount is US$500 million, with a coupon of 9.25%. It has ten years, and the opening price is US$20. Income. The rate is 9.4 percent.”
Even in the best of times, David's sales enthusiasm is very high. Now that he had 500 million US dollars to sell, he was so excited that he didn't know where to go. However, what he said makes sense.
If the yield on the new bonds does fall to 9.25 per cent on Canadian bonds, that means the selling price will drop from 9.25 per cent. For any investor, buying the bonds quickly at the original offer price will make a substantial profit.
Of course, if a bond issuance fails, U.S. investment banks will have to lower the sale price until the yield on the bond is high enough to attract buyers.
"The cycle is too long, not worth investing in." Pamela Mountbatten was unmoved. She was not interested in the ten-year cycle and felt it was not reliable. If the debt market behaves like this, it would be better to invest in industry.
After thinking for a while, Pamela Mountbatten did not refuse directly. "If this bond can be packaged and resold to other countries that have strong confidence in the United States, it will be worth a try."
After thinking for a short time, the female president came up with an idea. She liked the deal. It's true that the market is very weak right now, but with no new bonds being issued since then, it feels like investors are holding on to cash waiting to buy the right bond.
This new bond may well be what they were looking for, and its yield is clearly attractive. That's a higher yield than any other European bond of similar grade, and prices will always rebound sooner or later.
The more bonds you sell, the more money you get. Anyway, at least you can make some money. The real test is to wait until the price is quoted after inquiry. If there are still tens of millions of bonds to be sold, they will come right back and offer a cheap price.
In that case, you have to try to get rid of the bonds you bought. If all the bonds had actually been sold, buyers would have come up with various excuses and quoted high prices.
Alan Wilson knew nothing about the bond market, but after he learned about his wife's plan, he had no other thoughts except a deep conscience. Later generations of Wall Street would dare to package and sell Argentine bonds that were like junk. Her wife was already conscientious enough. Well, at least it’s just a matter of calculating interest rates, and it’s a proper national entrepreneur.
"How about issuing through the Hong Kong Exchange? It can also be considered as raising funds." Pamela Mountbatten thought of the financial center in the Far East and asked her husband if it was feasible.
"That's a good idea." Alan Wilson said with approval, "We should make good use of our status as a financial center."
"Sometimes when I think about it, sooner or later this financial center will be handed over to someone else, and I can't help but feel sad." Pamela Mountbatten sighed quietly, feeling sad for the future of Hong Kong. "Will we be able to continue to use Hong Kong to help Britain in the future? Profit?"
"It's not impossible, but dear, you have to know that in a country with a long history, the capital is everything and everything revolves around the capital." Alan Wilson answered bluntly, "I would like to make it clearer. As long as the capital gives an order, if it says it's yours, it's yours. If it says it's not yours, it's not yours. It's okay to use Xiangjiang to make a small profit, but if you think too much, Xiangjiang is not very important."
Within the scope of a certain big country, other than the imperial capital, no city is qualified to say how important it is, not even the demon capital.
Magic City is just a city supported by geographical advantages and policies. Although the people of Magic City don't think so, it can't change the fact. The fact is that the magical capital of the world can never do without the support of the imperial capital.
However, it does not hurt to use the Hong Kong exchange to issue some bonds to raise funds. Alan Wilson can understand that the Mountbatten Group, which has just facilitated the sale of British and Soviet grain, deserves this.
Although the group does not lack funds based on Pamela Mountbatten's net worth, this is a different matter.
"We need to discuss this matter with the four major families. The local gangsters must also share some points." Pamela Mountbatten looked ugly, but she had no choice.
Alan Wilson almost couldn't help but laugh out loud. He remembered a sentence, my money! They share two million, and I share one million! Do you still want me to thank them? chaptere
