British 1986

In the conference room of the side hall on the first floor of the manor, Hu Te walked to Allen with a well-dressed middle-aged man.

"Master. This is Matthias Walter. You don't see Matthias often. He has made a lot of contributions to the family's financial work over the years."

Hu Te pointed at the middle man and introduced him, and Allen nodded.

He had a certain impression that this person was the family's financial assistant and investment advisor, but most of the time he dealt directly with Hu Te.

There is no outside situation where a large family can control large amounts of money. What Mattia has done more in recent years is to repair holes in the old count's factories.

The Hill family's industries are basically real industries with very low profitability, and their risk resistance is relatively average, but compared with some future Internet companies, their risk resistance is much higher.

but.

No matter how high your risk resistance is, it’s useless if you don’t make money.

After selling the land and having money, Matthias and his small team began to complete the finishing work on Allen's inheritance tax matters.

In the past, I gave up some small, non-performing assets when it was time to give them up, just sold them to the bank, and I was not prepared to redeem them, so I did whatever I wanted.

It saves money to redeem it, but it looks half-dead. When the time comes, it is better to save it than to sell it.

This can help get rid of some shabby industries, and even the workers in these industries can be thrown to the banks for help.

The Earl's family doesn't have any food left. Whether they live or die is none of Allen's business from now on!

Mattia sat next to Huth, took the information handed over by the deputy, and handed it to Huth one by one. This is the information on some of the remaining factories in the family.

Seeing Huth reviewing the materials, Allen asked Matthias casually: "In these years, you have been traveling around, have you ever been to China?"

"Huh? Do you want to travel there?"

Mattia was a little cautious when he heard Allen's question.

"No, I'm more curious about their investment, factory and other environment. Do you have any knowledge about it?"

"this"

Mattia frowned, thought for a long time, and then said in an uncertain tone: "I have never been there, but I have heard others talk about their investment environment there, so I have a little understanding of it. , but you need to judge for yourself whether it is accurate or not.”

"Um."

Allen nodded, showing a very interested look, and motioned for Matthias to continue.

"In recent years, they have opened up to the outside world and welcomed external funds. It is said that the requirements for share ownership are relatively strict. Other policies are pretty good. The labor costs are said to be very low, but the infrastructure is very poor. If you want to go there, For investment, it is best to choose places with relatively convenient transportation such as coastal cities.”

After Mattia said this, Allen compared it with his own memory and found that the situation should be quite similar.

Sighing slightly, seeing Hu Te still checking the information, Allen stood up and said, "You can read it first. If you have any questions, call me. I'm tired, so I'm going to rest for a while."

Huth quickly stood up, took Mattia and his deputy with him, saluted and watched Allen walk out of the conference hall.

When he owed a large sum of money, Allen maintained the same attitude towards his family's factories.

Now I see that the money has almost been repaid, and I have some spare money.

Then the future of these factories needs to be carefully considered and planned.

Some factories are not suitable for making big moves. These factories play a certain stabilizing role in the local area.

This kind of factory must be maintained.

But for example, the radio factory at home can be changed.

The radio sounds very backward and not a high-tech gadget.

But radios are a rare product with longevity on the market.

Let alone now, even in five, ten, or even twenty or thirty years, radios will still be marketable!

Moreover, the profit is not small!

Based on the current costs in the factory, there is a profit from selling radios. What if this industry is cut off and all production lines are moved abroad?

for example

Transferred to China.

Even if there are no upgrades in production technology or product types, the profits of the entire factory can be doubled or tripled at least!

This is not about harvesting wool, this is the demographic dividend of this era!

If you set up a factory there, labor costs are low, various policies are good, even if the various infrastructures are not good, even if the final freight is included, the profit will be much higher than if you produce and sell directly here in Great Britain!

Moreover, at this time point, foreign companies investing in China

Yes, but not many. With Allen's current status, there is a high probability that he will not only gain favors, but also be taken care of with various more favorable conditions!

It would not be a big problem to test the waters with a radio factory now. If such an operation is feasible, then Allen can take advantage of the financial crisis in the United States at the end of the year to clean up some production lines and ship them directly to China.

Buy a production line at a lower price, install it in China, and produce goods at a lower labor cost. This time, profits will increase, and you can also add some pillar industries to yourself.

after all

Selling land is a one-and-done deal. Even though he is switching his left hand for his right hand, Allen is not willing to keep doing this. He still wants to develop his career!

As I walked, I thought, now there is only one biggest problem left.

Allen has no acquaintances in China except Xiangjiang!

In a place where people and sophistication make things easier to do, but without acquaintances, he felt a little unsure.

You need to find a way to find a good relationship first, so that you can invest better!

Not far from the south side of London Park Square, this is 49 Portland Street.

It has a white base, brown walls, and a black attic on top. It covers a small area, only about 800 square meters in total.

But the total construction area of ​​several floors combined is enough.

There is an iconic bronze statue of a knight diagonally opposite the door.

This is the Chinese Embassy in Britain, which has been upgraded to ambassadorial level for more than ten years.

In addition to this embassy, ​​China also has a Manchester consulate in the UK that was established only last year.

As to why Wales doesn't.

There are few people in Wales, and there are basically no outsiders.

"Counsellor Wang, here is a letter for you. You'd better read it now."

The young man pushed open the office and saw the owner, Commercial Counselor Director Wang!

The position of Commercial Counselor is not a standard feature of the embassy. Some embassies have it, while others do not. It depends on whether the country is rich or not, and whether it has opened a certain scale of business activities.

"oh?"

Counselor Wang pushed up his glasses and put down the newspaper. It was a little strange. It was not surprising that there was a letter, but the secretary specifically emphasized that he should read it now, which was a little strange.

When he took the envelope and looked at it, Counselor Wang felt a little dizzy, and sure enough.

The appearance of the envelope is very delicate. It simply states who the recipient is. There is no stamp or any mailing address, but there is a big family crest logo on the envelope!
