Chapter 644: Moving Forward Together
In fact, now, the equity relationship between the companies owned or held by Barron is no longer as clear as it was at the beginning.
For example, Argos Retail Group is a listed company, but in addition to the public shares circulating in the secondary market, although most of its shares are still controlled by Barron's, they are still divided into the Cavendish Trust Fund. , Rich23 Capital and Caesars Fund and other multi-party holdings...
To sum it up, the shareholding structure of Argos Retail Group is already simple compared with some other companies.
SEM Group, O2 Telecom, United Energy Group, Woaw Technology, Standard Chartered-Merrill Lynch Group, LOMX Group...
Among these companies that are getting bigger and bigger, there are Cavendish Trust Fund (DS Holdings), Global Industrial Investment Fund (GIIF), Caesars Fund, British Fortune Times (BFT) Fund, Rich23 Capital, IC Capital, Western Capital, etc. Shareholders such as Africa Holdings will more or less appear on the shareholder lists of these companies.
Not to mention the shares held through some relatively hidden offshore companies.
These circumstances were also deliberately done by Barron. Otherwise, I am afraid that his name would have already occupied the top position in various wealth rankings, and it would be well known among ordinary people. When the Internet was not widely used in the beginning, Many Chinese people may know the name of Bill Gates, because he has monopolized the position of the world's richest man for many years.
And in addition to this reason, it is also to make the proportion of shares controlled by Barron in some of these companies not so conspicuous...
Of course, there are also reasons for “reasonable tax avoidance”.
Therefore, especially after the subprime mortgage crisis this time, through the form of "convertible corporate bonds" or "private placement", he injected a lot of funds in the names of BFT Fund, GII Fund, Caesar Fund, and IC Capital. In companies that have previously reduced their shareholdings and the shareholding ratio has been reduced, the process of selling high and buying low has been completed. Similarly, the shareholding ratios of various institutions in these companies look more balanced...
Moreover, Barron's itself has a dedicated team to do these things, such as "cross-shareholdings", "shadow companies", "offshore trusts"... Through these methods, Barron's has gradually disappeared behind the scenes, and has achieved a considerable number of Income is intercepted in offshore companies to achieve reasonable tax avoidance...
The reason why it seems that each rich list does not mean the real ranking is because too many families have used this method to hide behind the scenes.
After all, the current mainstream European and American rules and laws are themselves tailor-made by capital, and they will only be adjusted due to other demands.
…
"Really? It looks really good."
"It can no longer be said to be good, it is very excellent..."
Daisy said to Barron with admiration in her tone:
“I didn’t pay much attention to it before, because at the beginning, this account was still making a small loss, but just two months ago, it not only started making profits, but it has continued, and now the account’s profits have exceeded 100%. …”
What she was talking about with Barron was the account that Barron had previously entrusted to Lamy to operate.
When talking to Rami, a boy from Palestine who was adopted by Barron, he learned that he was also interested in stock investment, so Barron handed him an account with 50,000 pounds. .
In fact, Lamy only has the operating authority of this account, and this account itself belongs to DS Investment Company.
Because of this, Daisy can see all Lamy's operations and account positions on the background.
An account with a capital of fifty thousand pounds cannot be said to be inconsequential to Daisy at this time, it can also be said to be ordinary.
So basically she didn't pay special attention to this account - after all, the securities investment that needed her attention was over tens of billions.
It wasn't until one day that she suddenly remembered this matter, and when she looked at it again, she discovered this somewhat surprising operation.
The most critical point is that Lamy is only 16 years old.
However, in Barron's eyes, this matter can only be called a slight surprise, and it can only keep a small part of his attention on Lamy.
"Let's just observe occasionally for now. By the way, how is Nvidia doing?"
“After we have absorbed the stock for a period of time, although the company’s stock is still at a low level compared to last year’s stock price, the trading volume has dropped and there are not many selling orders, so the speed of our absorption has also slowed down, otherwise It’s easy to hold up the stock price.”
Barron has never given up on the idea of increasing his stake in Nvidia.
After all, he knows how important this company’s position will be in the AI wave in the future.
Just like when Nvidia's stock price reached a high before, even though Barron told Katherine Neville to sell her Nvidia shares and make a big profit...
But he did not take the opportunity to sell even one share of his Nvidia holdings.
After all, he knew that even if Nvidia's stock price would be cut in half due to the impact of the subprime mortgage crisis, the problem was that the stock price was the stock price, and the trading volume was difficult to determine.
Compared to the future market value of Nvidia, the current price, even at the highest point last year, can be called a "bargain price", so there is no need for him to bother.
Moreover, after obtaining some Nvidia shares from Vanguard Group, Barron only holds 24% of Nvidia's shares through Rich23 Capital and Caesar Fund.
Even now, taking advantage of the fact that Nvidia's stock price has fallen by more than 45% from the highest price last year, Barron continues to absorb Nvidia's shares in the secondary market through DS Investments in the name of the Cavendish Trust.
According to Daisy, she has helped the Cavendish Trust absorb about 6% of Nvidia's shares - of course, these shares are held by two offshore companies held by this trust fund.
In this way, the current Nvidia shares that Barron can control have reached 30%
"That's it for now, just keep the pace. I'll arrange for someone to talk to Nvidia about the stock issuance next."
In fact, Nvidia is now the best opportunity to expand its shareholding ratio. Later, the company will start to take off due to the success of new products.
Barron will do it in multiple ways at the same time. Not only will Barron mention the preparation to increase their capital, and Daisy will slowly absorb its stocks, but Caesar Fund is also in contact with some institutions, preparing to directly purchase their Nvidia shares.
