Chapter 533 Cloth Exchange

On April 15, the Britta Stock Exchange was established in Britta, the new capital of Kolo, in the West African Financial Center in the city center.

It has been more than a year and a half since the Kolo government announced the construction of a new capital in Britta. At this time, the main functional areas of Britta have begun to take shape.

Since September 2005, Kolo has announced that it will invest a total of US$10 billion to build the new capital Britta. It is expected that Britta will cover an area of ​​more than 250 square kilometers and can accommodate more than 2 million permanent residents.

Britta is mainly divided into three parts: administrative district, business district and living district. The 55-story West African Financial Center, the tallest building in Britta, is located in its core business district.

The West African Financial Center will house the headquarters of the United Bank of West Africa and West African Holdings; the West African headquarters of Standard Chartered Bank and the Britta Stock Exchange.

The Britta Stock Exchange is held by Kolo Industrial Investment Fund with 25% of the shares, West Africa Holdings with 60% of the shares, and LOMX Group (London-OMX Group) with 15% of the shares.

LOMX Group will provide technical support for the Britta Stock Exchange.

The first companies listed on the Britta Stock Exchange include Tablibo Cement Group, Ormond Candy Company and Kolo Telecom.

Tablibo Cement Group was previously held by West Africa Holdings with 60% of its shares, and Kolo Development Investment Company held 40% of its shares. At the beginning, through the use of Huaxia's loans and the purchase of equipment, it had a cement plant with a daily output of 5,000 tons in Tablibo, Coastal Province, which is currently the largest cement plant in West Africa.

And Ormond Candy Company mainly produces chocolate and some categories of candy. It was established by West Africa Holdings after acquiring a company in England and using local cocoa beans as raw materials to establish a large production base in Kolo.

It is worth mentioning that both Colo and its neighboring countries are rich in cocoa beans - the quality of cocoa beans here is better than that of South American products, so the chocolate they produce is of very good quality.

After Ormond chocolate was listed on Argos.com, it was very popular among European users.

As for Colo Telecom, it was taken over by the West African Group from the family of Nassin Dema, the previous dictator of Colo. After taking over, they also improved Colo's telecommunications infrastructure. However, due to Colo's previous economic situation, Colo Telecom still focuses on fixed-line business and only provides broadband and mobile communication services around Loti and Britta.

You know, no matter how poor a country is, there are wealthy classes. Especially with the economic development of Colo in recent years, some related industries have indeed created some wealthy people.

These people, especially some of them who have received elite education, are still very receptive to stocks, and the three companies that chose to go public in the first batch this time are all companies with very good operating conditions and considerable development potential.

Therefore, after the start of trading at the Cloth Exchange, that is, the Brita Stock Exchange, the purchase of the three stocks was still very popular.

The Cloth Exchange uses the Colo shilling, the legal currency of Colo, as the pricing, and the Brita Stock Exchange temporarily only allows Colo citizens to open accounts. It is worth mentioning that those who were able to buy the first three stocks of the Cloth Exchange at the beginning and have been holding them have received generous returns.

…

When Barron returned to the Flower of Lis Manor, he saw Fan Bingbing doing body training.

As we all know, Chinese people have the habit of "confinement". Fan Bingbing once secretly complained to Barron that Fan's mother had been stewing chicken soup, fish soup and pig's trotter soup for her confinement during this period... It caused great difficulties for her to recover her body.

In order to take care of her daughter, Fan's mother asked Fan's father to take care of the child in Yanjing, and she would stay in Los Angeles to accompany her daughter for more than a month.

Barron could understand Fan's mother's Chinese thoughts. After all, for the Chinese people's physique, this custom of the ancestors may have some truth in it. Moreover, Fan's mother was not too outrageous. After all, she had received a good modern education and would only rely on her experience as a "veteran" to ask Fan Bingbing.

Barron could only comfort Fan Bingbing and let her bear it for a while.

Anyway, there was no need to rush to recover her body. "Succession" would not start filming for nearly two months, and Fan Bingbing's role setting in it was more suitable to be a little plump, so there was no need to be too demanding on herself.

After giving birth to a pair of children, Barron also transferred a courtyard house in Yanjing to Fan Bingbing's name - he bought a total of three courtyard houses in Yanjing at that time, namely the "Little Duke's Mansion" near the Forbidden City, a "Big Duke's Mansion" with four entrances, and a courtyard house near the Summer Palace.

These courtyard houses have been renovated very well. He gave the courtyard house near the Summer Palace to Fan Bingbing, which has good privacy and can provide a more suitable residence for Fan Bingbing and his children when they live in Yanjing.

In addition, he also bought a luxury house for Fan Bingbing in Shanghai, which is located near the Bund and can directly enjoy the unbeatable river view.

"Succession" is expected to have a total of four seasons, and Fan Bingbing plays the role of "stepmother", in which she has a lot of scenes, so she can shoot this American TV series for four consecutive years - of course, this is based on the premise that the ratings of this series are good. After all, when the ratings are dismal, it is very common in American TV series to directly cut the subsequent shooting plan.

However, based on the situation in the previous life and Barron's excellent investment and production of this series of TV series, I believe it will not fall to that point.

In addition to "Succession", Barron will also set roles for Fan Bingbing in several movies in the next few years, so she will spend a considerable amount of time in the United States in a year, which is also convenient for her to be with her children here.

Even if she will take on some Chinese TV series, when the children are a little older, they will be able to accompany her to China - anyway, Barron's previous Gulfstream G450 is not often used, and when she uses this plane to travel between the United States and China, it will also be more privacy-guaranteed.

Barron's arrangements are very considerate - it can be said that except for Bonnie, Ivanta and a few others, Fan Bingbing is the woman that Barron has paid more attention to.

These efforts also make Fan Bingbing very happy. At least so far, it shows that her choice is correct.

Of course, Barron will not be too partial to one or the other. His first daughter Jennifer is already three years old.

Jennifer's birthday is April 10th. Barron happened to be in Los Angeles and celebrated his daughter's third birthday with Rebecca.

Three-year-old Jennifer has become more and more like a little princess, very cute.

It can even be said that she looks more like Barron, and although Barron does not have many opportunities to spend time with his daughter, Jennifer is very attached to Barron. Every time she sees Barron, she will happily run into his arms.

It was at this time that Barron suddenly felt that he did not want to miss too much time with his children.

Perhaps, there is a chance to gather all the children together...
