Chapter 532 Listing Dividends (Please Subscribe!!!)
Early the next morning, Ma Wei woke up from the bed. It was raining lightly on the street, and the weather was gloomy, and there were not many pedestrians. It was the most comfortable to stay at home in this kind of weather, but Ma Wei made an appointment with other people .

After breakfast, Ma Wei left the flower street with Junia to look after the store, and mailed the letter as he passed the intersection.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, the carriage arrived at Bank Street in downtown Westminster, and got off at the gate of the Central Bank of London. Just as he took out his pocket watch to check the time, someone ran out of the bank.

"Mr. Nicholas! Here!"

Ma Wei looked up and found that it was Smith, the jeweler. With the relationship of Baron Frederick, he can be regarded as a relative of the second prince Shukri. help.

The chunky Mr. Smith ran up to Ma Wei with his belly outstretched. After greeting them, the attendant took them into the bank under an umbrella. He also brought a lawyer with a briefcase and black glasses.

The Central Bank of London in the morning was a bit deserted, and there were not many customers handling business. Smith, who had already made an appointment, found the manager on duty for the day, and issued the capital certificate and guarantor needed for the company. Because it was going to be listed, Smith prepared A large certificate of deposit was issued for 20 gold pounds.

The money is not deposited into the account, but as a proof of funds. After obtaining the certificate, it must be returned to Smith's bank account. Smith is Ma Wei's guarantor. Once the company goes bankrupt, it will It is up to him to take responsibility.

Smith was not worried about the bankruptcy of the potions company at all. He acted very relaxed from the beginning to the end, let Ma Wei sit aside and drink tea, handed him the royal warrant that he brought, and the rest was There is no need to manage Mavi, as the second prince Shukri said.

The duty manager acted quickly. After seeing the royal license, he stamped the certificate, signed his name, and opened a public account within half an hour.

With the proof of funds issued by the bank, Smith and Ma Wei rushed to Sweetin Street, where the largest stock exchange in London - the London Stock Exchange.

The London Stock Exchange, which was formally established in 1698, was formerly only an open-air market on London Trading Street. Later, the Royal Exchange, which traded government bonds, was transferred from the open-air market to indoors, and the London Stock Exchange was considered to have a prototype.

After more than 160 years of development, hundreds of companies have been listed on the London Stock Exchange, such as Barclays Bank, GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals and other well-known companies.

"When our potion company goes public, these companies won't be worth mentioning."

Smith, who was standing outside the gate of the stock exchange, looked at the white stone pillars in front of the gate of the stock exchange, and said with a smile: "By then, Nicholas, you will be the richest group of people in London."

"Everyone eats meat, without your help, Mr. Smith, how could everything go so smoothly?" Ma Wei said lightly.

Smith nodded, and asked the lawyer to take the documents to the Securities and Investment Commission across the street to go through the formalities. The company's qualifications and so on, he had done it a long time ago. With the relationship of the second prince, it is natural to give the green light, and many of them have to be reviewed. The procedures will be passed on the same day.

In order not to fall into the trap, the company procedures are complete, but the trouble of auditing is saved. Even if it is audited, the "Manstein Potion Company" with Ma Wei as the chairman and the highest equity holder will not any question.

There is no need for Ma Wei and the second prince to worry about these small details. The group of businessmen below who want to eat meat and soup will take care of it on their own initiative.

From the beginning to the end, Ma Wei just showed his face and signed his name on the document, and the rest of the issues were naturally taken care of by the lawyer.

but
Having said that, Mavi still looked through the contract carefully, so as not to cause any trouble due to contract issues in the future.

I was busy until noon, when the matter of listing was finalized, and all procedures were passed. When the stock exchange opens next Monday, the new stocks will be listed together.

Until then, there are a few 'little things' to agree on.

After going through the listing procedures, Smith invited Ma Wei to Kensington Palace in Chelsea, which is the daily residence of the second prince, today.
Many nobles gathered here, waiting for Ma Wei's arrival.

As soon as he entered the door, Ma Wei felt that the atmosphere in the living room was very serious, and countless eyes focused on him, as if he had seen a tiger and wolf that had preyed on him.

"Nicholas!" The second prince Shukri greeted him warmly: "Sit down quickly, everyone is going to discuss the investment matters before the listing of Manstein Potion Company, and they all came with funds!"

The words investment and capital made Ma Wei realize that these people are for the shares of the potion company. Although the company's registered capital is 20 gold pounds, its actual value must be more than that. Ma Wei negotiated the valuation of the company, then invested and took away the corresponding shares.

This is a private cake-dividing meeting.

After taking his seat, Ma Wei looked at the nobles puffing on their cigars, and preemptively said, "What do you guys think is the valuation of Manstein Potions Company?"

The nobles were silent for a moment. They were summoned by the second prince. Of course, they knew the future development of the potion, especially since Mavi had already produced such powerful potions as Mercury's Blood, Sleeping Toast, and Hercules' Club. The strength of the company is self-evident, and the rest is valuation.

Everyone wants to lower the price and win more shares for themselves, but the problem is that if the price is really lowered, the shares will not be enough!

Wolves have more meat and less meat.

Seeing that the nobles were silent, the second prince Shukri said with a smile: "I summoned you today because the Manstein Potion Company needed sufficient liquidity in the early days of its establishment to cope with future potion bidding. In addition, this funding will also determine the initial size of the company.”

"If the Manstein Potion Company can win the bidding, it can become the consignor of the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate, and conduct potion transactions with other churches. I think everyone knows the profits in this."

"So, I hope that everyone can work together. The real cake will appear after the bidding wins. If the bidding fails, I think everyone will be disappointed."

After the second prince finished speaking, the nobles squinted their eyes and looked at each other. After a while, someone suddenly said, "Manstein Potion Company has a very good development prospect. I think its valuation should not be lower than 200 million gold pounds."

"200 million?" Someone sneered disdainfully: "Do you know the bargaining chip offered by the third prince Andrew to Mr. Nicholas? An army purchase contract worth 2000 million gold pounds! This is enough to show the strength of the Manstein Potion Company !"

"I think 500 million is more appropriate." Someone said after listening.

"Can you bid with the first and third princes for 500 million yuan? Behind the third prince is the military, and they are very rich! If we want to win against them, we must spend enough money!"

"Then how much do you want to say? 1000 million? Can anyone here come up with a working capital of more than 10 gold pounds?"

The crowd fell silent for a while.

That voice just now was right.

They come with sincerity.

However, the amount of gold pounds in the Kingdom of Windsor is not small. Even if they scraped together all their resources, they only managed to gather around 10 gold pounds.

The nobles present here still know each other's financial resources, at least a rough figure.

10 gold pounds is already an astronomical figure. You must know that the annual income of the lowest middle class is only 300 gold pounds!

10 gold pounds, how many middle-class annual incomes are combined?
Everyone doesn't want to spend more money, but the real problem is in front of them-bidding!
The bid has to be won so they can make back their money and make more!
If you can't win the bidding, everything is empty talk!
"No matter what, if you want to win against the eldest prince and the third prince, the capital of the Manstein Potion Company must not be less than 2000 million gold pounds! This is just a purchase contract given by the third prince! We will earn more in the future many!"

"2000 million gold pounds? You are crazy!"

"Am I crazy? It's obvious that you are stupid! Manstein Potion Company will go public next Monday. As long as the marketing is in place, the stock price will definitely soar. We can secretly increase the stock price and attract those retail investors to buy. In this case, we will invest in it." Wouldn’t it be possible to earn all the money back?”

"You still say that you are not crazy? Is there a company with a valuation of 2000 million pounds in the entire London Stock Exchange? This money can buy Barclays Bank! How much does it cost to sell a share? Can retail investors afford it? "

"cough"

The second prince Shukri suddenly coughed, and the room was instantly quiet.

"Everyone, I am so happy to hear that you have valued Manstein Potion Company at 2000 million pounds. I think this price is very reasonable, and I am willing to pay 50 pounds to buy the corresponding shares."

"Many of you seem to be worrying about financial issues, and that's okay, I've prepared chips for you a long time ago."

The second prince Shukri patted his palms lightly, and several lawyers in neat suits carrying briefcases and a group of bank appraisers came out from the side room.

"You have a lot of assets in your hands, don't you?"

The second prince smiled and said:
"Be bold, take them out as collateral, I assure you, in the future, everyone will be rewarded for what they paid!"
