British 1986

Like many entrepreneurs, they start with a small business, then establish a company, make it bigger and stronger, and finally seek to go public.

What about after the company goes public?

Net worth and assets skyrocketed?

What’s going up is the company’s value. What does this have to do with the boss?

If you want money, you have to cash out, but if you cash out too much, you will have fewer shares. What about the control of the company?

Winning shareholders to sign various memo agreements?

If it's really that simple, how did so many bankrupt listed companies come about?

Is it all poor management?

In the financial market, there are gains and losses, and there are peaks and troughs in life.

And there are hostile takeovers.

For listed companies, in the stock market, those shares are not only a tool for harvesting funds, but also a slick of fat.

Is Allen really short of money now?

No.

Allen feels that what he lacks most is a sense of security.

He always felt that he was insecure. Although the escort inspection event in April made him understand a lot of things, he just didn't feel safe.

In addition, he has experienced the old count being harvested like leeks in the stock market, so...

Allen has always been very resistant to financial markets.

Later, he conducted an in-depth study of the industrial operation models of some nobles and was surprised to find out.

Most of the nobles' properties are often hidden behind the scenes, or they use an agent.

Anyway, the principle is to keep one thing at home and another outside, and keep them separate.

This kind of management method, which is more "small farmer thinking", is more reliable than anything else.

First of all, there is no need to worry about competitors causing trouble or stabbing you in the stock market.

Secondly, family businesses can enjoy many benefits unique to aristocrats, but ordinary companies cannot, unless they are very important industries, such as military industrial groups.

For example, for listed group companies, when the Internet becomes more and more developed in the future, competitors or invisible enemies can clearly find out all the subsidiaries under your name that are related to the group company, and then arrange targeted targets. of blow.

Allen doesn't want to engage in these things now, such as going public to make money and increase his social status. He doesn't need it now. Those are all false!

The cash in hand, the land at home, and the assets in your name are real!

Even if you are a rich man worth 100 billion, if you can't cash out your stocks, what's the use?

A financial crisis hits and your net worth shrinks exponentially?

It is better to follow the more traditional model and run it as a family, with each company sending responsible persons to manage it, and there is no superior-subordinate relationship between them.

Just implement the simplest and crudest flat management. When the time comes, Allen will expand his financial team and audit team to monitor on time.

His current status is that of a nobleman, so it is a little impractical for ordinary people to play that trick on him.

Like some large companies, there are many executives of all kinds, forming multiple small hills, and they are all scheming.

When you get to him, you can no longer play like this. You can directly assign managers to them, or promote them from outstanding employees.

If you're doing well, keep doing it. If you're not doing well?

If the job is not done well because of incompetence, then the position should be removed.

If it is because of corruption, then kill him directly!

It's simple, it's a disease of big companies, there are so many mountains, and if you call someone to Wales, no one can save them!

This kind of management method is very low-key and can also ensure the internal promotion system. Moreover, Allen also has a killer weapon like title reward in his hand.

Well done, there will be a knighthood reward!

A two-pronged approach, if you can do it, do it, if you can't, get out. There will be more talents.

Although this kind of family-style private company may not be as good as those large listed companies in the future, it is safe. Allen can arrange his own industry at will without worrying about too many external forces that are difficult to deal with.

If the product cannot compete with the other party's, or if the management is not good, then he will consider himself unlucky.

This means that even if the meat is rotten, it will rot in his own pot.

With this understanding, many things will be easier to do next. Allen plans to slowly deepen his own industry over the years. He does not want to make huge profits, so he will settle down and gradually become proficient in one industry. Do it.

For example, the wool products factory at home will develop into high-quality products and luxury goods in the future.

It doesn’t matter how big the company is. After several factories, we will have to work hard and strive for high-quality products.

When it comes to business, the most he can accept is to throw out a company and get some partners to play together. As for going public further, forget it, no fun!

Therefore, with each factory as the center, he does not need to build any iconic building to highlight his strength.

Even if you want to buy a property in China, it is better to go directly to the capital to buy one and go to Shanghai.

Allen really didn't want to go over there.

Like now, it would be great to dig deep into the local area, open a factory in a small place, slowly penetrate the local economy, and become a rich country man.

Seeing that his young master was a little distracted, Patrice did not continue speaking with a wink. Instead, he looked at each other and waited for Allen to think quietly.

Until Allen came back to his senses, looked at Patrice and said, "Is there anything else?"

"Well, young master, Wei Dewei doesn't have much to say. He wants to invite you to meet as soon as possible. He said that he still has some private matters that he wants to discuss with you alone."

"oh?"

Allen looked at Patrice and then at Old Karl.

Old Karl was smarter this time and quickly thought of the key point.

"Young Master Wei Dewei's term of office seems to be coming soon. People like him will probably not be able to make it to the end. Before returning Xiangjiang, there will definitely be another governor to take the blame. So he is so anxious to see you now."

Combined with Old Karl's analysis, Allen quickly thought of Weidwei's real purpose.

The old guy is anxious!

Seeing so many people trying to make money on his territory, he could only stare. Although he still has about two years left in office, shouldn't it take time to make money?

In the first phase of Allen's last real estate plan, the dividends given to Wei Dewei alone were millions of pounds!

Wei Dewei, who had tasted the sweetness, kept sending letters to tactfully urge Allen to start the second phase of the plan.

But Allen has been delayed due to various things during this period of time.

Nowadays, people who make money are almost running away, and this old guy seems to be unable to sit still.

And asked Patrice to bring a message to see him.

"Okay, there's no need to reply to him now. Karl, go ahead and arrange your trip. Let's finish things as soon as possible in Australia. Then I'll go to Xiangjiang to meet Wei Dewei. Patrice, you go and rest first. Come with me to Sydney in a few days.”

Allen arranged the next thing and waved his hand to indicate that they could leave.

Sitting alone on the terrace, looking at the river view, there are no woods on the other side of the river. There are areas to be developed within a few kilometers. It is empty, with only some wild grass growing densely.

A pair of slightly calloused hands touched the base of Allen's ears, then moved back and began to massage his neck.

This movement indicated that Nicole was coming. Allen leaned back and rested his head on Nicole's belly.

"I've been waiting outside for a long time, but you haven't come out yet. What are you thinking about?"

Allen patted Nicole's hand and motioned her to sit down, picked up the perfume on the table and handed it to Nicole: "I'll give you a small gift. Let's go to Sydney in a few days and accompany me to the banquet."

"I don't."

Nicole, who was about to refuse the gift, saw the writing on the perfume package and knew it was perfume, so she swallowed her refusal.

He opened the gift happily and looked at it. He was not in a hurry to use it. Instead, he put the box on the coffee table and asked with concern: "Are you going to see that Governor Bill?"

"Ha, if you go this time, it's not just about meeting him. There are many people you want to meet."

Allen turned to look at Nicole and said with a smile.

On the evening of August 27th.

The reception banquet that was supposed to be held in Sydney was temporarily moved to Adelaide.

Allen was a little confused.

If he had known this, he would have returned to Adelaide long ago, and he would not have spent so many days in Darwin.

Not far from the villa that Allen rented, Bill Hayden also temporarily rented a villa specifically for this reception banquet.

The burgundy sixth-generation Rolls-Royce Phantom parked slowly. Allen got out of the car first, put on his light-colored soft top hat, and then very gentlemanly stretched out his hand to take Nicole, who was wearing a white evening dress, out of the car.

Bill Hayden stood by the car with an uneasy look on his face. After watching Allen and Nicole get out of the car, he whispered: "Sir, I'm very sorry. There are some emergencies in Sydney during this time. For your sake, It’s safe, so I changed my address temporarily to cause trouble for you.”

Letting go of Nicole's hand, Allen said as he walked: "What's wrong?"

He hasn't read any newspapers recently. What's going on in Australia? Can it still threaten his safety?

"Well, it was a group of gang members from Huaguowan Province. They made some noise and injured many people. We also lost a policeman."

Bill Hayden explained quietly.

This is so embarrassing. Your Excellency has finally done this once, and now something like this happens again.

"oh?"

Allen suddenly thought, no wonder Boss Cha asked him to be more honest in the past two years. Is it so chaotic outside now?

He twitched his lips and said, "Just change it. After the banquet, I won't be able to stay for a few days."

"Ah? Your Excellency, won't you stay here for a few more days?"

Bill Hayden instinctively opened his mouth to hold back, but as soon as he finished speaking, even he became embarrassed. He had just said that it was not safe here, and now he was holding back, this...

Allen lowered his head slightly, glanced at Bill Hayden, and didn't answer.

Regardless of whether it was safe or not, he had to go to Xiangjiang in a hurry. If he played for a while, it would be too late. He couldn't rush to go when Boss Cha arrived.

How embarrassing it would be if we actually met.

At the entrance to the lobby of the main building of the villa, there were about twenty guests in costumes standing densely packed.

Men wear a dark tuxedo jacket and gray trousers.

The ladies are a bit more fancy, with all kinds of colorful dresses. Putting aside the looks of these people, these clothes just look good.

But just look at the figure and appearance

It's hard to tell the truth. These guests are basically forty or even fifty years old, old guys.

As the crowd watched the Governor bring a tall young man over, an extremely depressing buzz could not stop.

Some of these people saw the British nobles at such a close distance for the first time in their lives.

This nobleman does not refer to a lord or the like, but a real nobleman, a hereditary nobleman!

Because the British aristocracy behaves in such a low-key manner, many people's impression of this group now, except in movies, is that of the prodigal sons of the little aristocrats who hang out like street kids on a fashionable street in London every day. young people.

But the person I saw today was different. From a distance, the innate nobility came to my face. He was dressed in extremely low-key and simple clothes, and even his walking posture was extremely calm. He followed The governor next to him is more like a servant than this Excellency.

"Your Excellency, let me introduce you."

After relieving the embarrassment and accompanying Allen all the way, Bill Hayden, who took the initiative to stay one step behind Allen, saw that he was approaching the hall, and took the initiative to step forward and start introducing guests to Allen in order.

There are parliamentarians from various places who are close to him as the governor, as well as some wealthy local Australian businessmen.

There were even two academics at the end.

Anyway, all the miscellaneous people can be called Australia's local elite.

One of the old men looked like his hair was white. When he reached out to shake Allen's hand, his eyes were red and he looked extremely excited.

His reaction left Allen a little confused. Is this a bit exaggerated?

As for that?

Allen suppressed his embarrassment and patted his shoulder.

Just like that, the old man became even more excited. He pursed his lips and twitched his face, wanting to say something, but Allen waited for a long time and didn't hear him speak.

It was Bill Hayden who took the initiative to relieve the siege and said in a low voice: "Your Excellency, this is a descendant who came from Wales. Their ancestor was one of your family's guards."

Um?

Is there any way for future generations to mix it up?

Allen looked at the old man who nodded excitedly, and then he understood the origin of this.

It turned out to be the descendant of the guard who was sent from the Hill family to guide the work. Meeting an old friend in a foreign land, no, this is meeting the master in a foreign land. No wonder the old man was so excited to see him.

Time was limited, so Allen asked him a few questions about his health. The old man was so excited that he couldn't speak clearly, so he had to go to the banquet hall first and wait until he had time to chat later.

Nicole held Allen's arm and looked at the Australian elites vaguely surrounding Allen in the hall.

After greeting them at the door, they entered the banquet hall. Although some people wanted to continue to come and talk to the Earl, the rules were the rules. Allen would not call them. They had to work hard to show their self-cultivation and pretend to be with others. Socializing in a low voice.

But these people were not far away from Allen. They even squinted their eyes in this direction as they spoke, hoping that the Excellency would call them and have a few words with them in public.

In the past, although Nicole's family was considered wealthy,...

No matter how rich she is, compared with these truly powerful people, her family is not impressive enough. Now these classes that she had no contact with in the past are now like a group of licking dogs, vaguely surrounding the people around her. .

Even when these people looked at me, the looks they cast were so friendly, indifferent, and cultivated, completely losing the condescending feeling of the past.
