The Earl of Grantham communicated with his companions with his eyes. They knew very well what the boss meant. If they didn't put up enough chips, all they could hear were false and perfunctory words.
This is normal. As an aristocratic class in a mature business society, we are deeply influenced by the concept of equivalent exchange and are not ashamed of talking about profit.
In London's Warship Street, reputable professional financial advisors charge a lot of money, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of pounds.
When it comes to investing, the world's richest man, the Boss King, sitting in front of him, is the world's top investor. He has always been known for his keen vision and accurate investment, and he is not a braggart.
Every word of his investment advice is worth thousands of dollars.
"Please wait a moment, we will be here soon."
"As you please."
Watching the nobles and their old money leaving, Wang Yaocheng took a sip of tea comfortably. With huge interests ahead of him, how could these guys endure it?
These old guys should be discussing what leverage they can use to impress themselves.
a moment later
Everyone sat down again, and as the host, it was the Earl of Grantham who was still the first to speak; "To be honest, we are not good at investment and financial management, and many people have suffered huge losses due to recklessness.
As far as I know, from Yorkshire to Notting Hill, nobles are constantly trying to make changes, and they often pay a heavy price for this, or even lose their money.
In the face of an increasingly changing world, nobles are better at running farms and wineries. My family’s holding of HSBC stocks originated from my grandfather, who worked in the Qing Customs for more than 100 years.
Now, facing the most outstanding investors in the world, we thought it was time to make a change.
The boss king should be interested in HSBC shares, and we can sell some of them appropriately..."
Wang Yaocheng interrupted him with a smile; "Please wait a moment, the small number of HSBC shares is meaningless to me, because what I am seeking is a seat on the board of directors of HSBC, which requires hundreds of millions.
It seems that this decision is difficult for you.
I have a great idea. How about holding a large personal investment philosophy briefing. Your circle of friends has a wide network and the news can be spread so that more people can attend.
My requirement is that to participate in this briefing, you must hold more than one ten thousandth of HSBC stock.
As a threshold, those who can participate must trade to me, and I can exchange cash and Nokia shares in equal amounts to share investment ideas with you freely.
There is no need for me to boast, everyone who participates will receive generous returns, and can even get clear investment projects with the potential to double their assets in a short period of time.”
"But..." Count Wattan hesitated and asked; "How can you prove that all this is worth it?"
"Because I said it." Wang Yaocheng pointed to himself proudly; "My words are worth 100 million US dollars or more, so someone will definitely come to participate."
Count Wattan opened his mouth. What you said was so reasonable and reasonable, but he was speechless.
He was too embarrassed to voice out the rest of his doubts. Seeing the expressions of deep approval on his companions' faces, he also highly recognized it in his heart.
"Okay, as you said, when will the briefing be held?"
"In ten days, I'll give everyone enough time to brew. I'm going to accompany my girlfriend to France and Italy for a trip, and I'll be back in about the same time."
"Where is the location?"
Wang Yaocheng looked at the Earl of Grantham, saw him nodding, and said knowingly: "Highclere Castle is good. The place is big enough, the environment is beautiful enough, and it can host enough participants. We will pay accordingly."
reward."
When the news came out, it immediately caused a huge response.
Wang Yaocheng, the newly crowned richest man in the world, rarely accepts exclusive interviews and rarely appears in public. World-famous financial magazines and newspapers can only look for news hot spots from his growth experience, and there is very little news material.
The most common ones are probably gossip news.
This time, Wang Yaocheng held a personal investment philosophy briefing at Highclere Castle, which was no less than a huge stone falling into a calm lake, causing huge waves and attracting widespread attention.
From the United States, Japan, Canada to Australia, from South Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore to the Middle East countries, as well as developed countries such as Germany, France and Italy, well-known Wall Street investment banks and medium and large-scale investment funds have come one after another.
This is almost a grand event in the top financial circles. The threshold for guests is one ten thousandth of HSBC stock worth more than 2 million US dollars, which still cannot stop enthusiastic investors.

Mr. Bill Gates and the famous investor Mr. Buffett came together, as well as many heads of investment departments of the world's top 500 companies. The stars gathered together and the wealth was dazzling.
The Royal Family Fund specially hired a well-known conference hosting company in London to be responsible for the entire conference preparation, beverages, meals and accommodation. For this reason, the three-day conference cost 1.4 million pounds.
Is such a high price worth it?
The answer is yes.
The day before the briefing meeting, the Royal Family Fund had screened and issued formal invitations to 630 attendees, which can be said to be a gathering of talented people.
thus
Through such a move, Royal Fund has acquired 7.16% of HSBC's equity and paid the equivalent of Nokia shares, worth up to US$1.58 billion.
Including the 2.87% equity it originally held, Royal Fund holds a total of 10.03% of HSBC's equity, proudly becoming the largest shareholder, ahead of the American BlackRock Group.
The reason for the large-scale sale of Nokia shares is to eliminate the fear of the top two shareholders on the company's board of directors. They are always worried that the Royal Fund will turn around and seize control of Nokia.
This move successfully reduced the Royal Fund's shareholding in Nokia to 6.6%, with a market value of US$5.544 billion.
From Wang Yaocheng’s heart;
The current market value of Nokia's stock is 84 billion US dollars, which is already high enough. After all, it is just an entity company in the high-tech field. Without the concept of network technology, it is impossible to rise much further.
At best, if it rises another 70 to 80 percent and reaches the top, there will be no more investment value.
As for high dividends and dividends, he doesn't like this small amount of money at all. It is a wise move to change the bird when the time is right.
Through this move, the past feud with the major shareholders who control Nokia can be settled, and the two parties can establish a more harmonious cooperative relationship. While ensuring their own seats on the board of directors, they can maximize their actual economic benefits.
Ninety percent of the mobile phone chips produced by Atlantic are supplied to Nokia. Such close cooperation is of great benefit to both parties.
The more HSBC shares, the better. The American BlackRock Group has sensed the crisis and is collecting more stocks in the market to strengthen its holding position.
If you want to join HSBC, it must be an arduous process.
It turns out that historically
As the largest shareholder of HSBC, Ping An Group has not been able to participate in the management of the bank and has been firmly shut out by Western investors. It is only a simple financial investment, which is very uneconomical.
Therefore, it is necessary to have sufficient voice, occupy at least 35% of the equity, and attract enough people acting in concert to ensure that HSBC is firmly in the pocket.
It is simply impossible to hide such a large acquisition from the world.
This personal investment philosophy briefing is a good opportunity to collect chips. A powerful institution will not be interested in one ten thousandth of HSBC's equity, so it is not troublesome to collect it.
Royal Fund uses an equal amount of cash or Nokia stock exchange, which is equivalent to attending a top-level investment briefing for free. It is worthwhile no matter how you calculate it.
When little adds up, Royal Fund is the real winner.
