Big Move

  "Do we still have 6 million pounds in our account?"

  "Because whether it is stocks or futures, we carry out leverage operations in the form of margin, so although our current total positions have reached 27 million pounds, But the margin used is not much. If the funds are used, at least more than 20 million pounds can be used..."

  Afraid that Barron was unclear, Daisy explained to him patiently:

  "But I don't recommend this, because if the funds are withdrawn, If there are too many funds, if we face an emergency that requires a margin call, then our positions will be very dangerous and there is a possibility of liquidation."

  Of course, Barron knew all of this. He thought for a moment and said to Daisy:

  "It shouldn't take so much. I'm going to make a short sale on U.S. stocks in the near future. I hope to get 10 times the leverage for this short sale plan from Barclays Bank." "

  For stocks, they generally can only give a maximum of 5 times the leverage, but it is not impossible. After all, our cooperation with them is larger than that of ordinary users. BOSS, how much funds are you prepared to use for this short sale?" "

  5 million pounds is enough."

  "That's true. It's not a big problem..."

  "Then go talk to them."

  Because DS Capital's current investments in the securities market will take at least half a year to a year if you want to see results.

  And before Barron knew it, the projects that needed to be carried out now required a lot of funds - the family trust fund couldn't come up with any money, which forced him to constantly think about what could be done in the short term. Opportunities to make profits...

  After recalling the news about the securities market during this period in his previous life, he really thought of one thing. There was a stock that was about to start plummeting recently. This was a good opportunity to short-sell and make profits.

  So Barron prepared to use this news to make some "extra money" in the past few days. According to his calculations, combined with the market value of the stock at this time, if ten times leverage was used, then 500 pounds of funds would be more appropriate. It will not have much impact on stock trends.

  "These are the information that can be found in a short period of time about "The Independent" and the current owner of this newspaper, Independent News Media Group (INM)..."

  I have to say that Yulia can indeed be called " "Workaholic", Barron even sometimes suspected that she only had work in her life. After informing her the day before yesterday to help check the matter of "The Independent", early this morning, she came to Barron's apartment and put a thick The information was handed over to him.

  "Have you had breakfast? Ms. Moore, you can eat some together. The bread I have just baked here tastes good." "

  Thank you, Your Highness, I have already eaten. You can do it yourself."

  Barron was flipping through the pages. With the information in hand, while having breakfast, Ramos came in and said to Barron:

  "Your Majesty, a lady named Laura said she has an appointment with you."

  He looked at the time on his watch and saw that it was just seven o'clock. , my new personal assistant, is still very motivated to work.

  "Let her come over, Ramos, she will be my personal assistant in the future."

  "Okay, Your Majesty the Duke."

  After Ramos left, Barron faced Yulia with a somewhat puzzled expression. nodded.

  "Ms. Moore, you should have heard just now. This Laura. Wong is my newly hired personal assistant. You may need to contact her frequently in the future."

  Following Barron's words, Yulia's eyes fell on Wang Wanting's. Looking around, she found that she was wearing a gray professional suit today without any special modifications. This made her a good impression, and the other party's gentle temperament also made Yulia relieved. She was really afraid of Barron. If you find some "sexy* thing" and take it with you, you will become the laughing stock of the aristocratic circle.

  At the same time, Wang Wanting also nodded friendly to Yulia.   

  "Laura, this Ms. Julia Moore is the manager of our family trust fund. You can communicate with her on matters related to the family industry."

  After helping the two of them introduce each other, Bao said Lun asked Wang Wanting:

  "Laura, you haven't had breakfast yet. You can come and eat together..." "

  I've already eaten, Your Highness the Duke."

  "Well, you can sit with Ms. Moore and talk about it. Get familiar with the family business as soon as possible."

  …

  The Independent was founded in 1986 by three reporters from the former Daily Telegraph.

  In the first week of its establishment, circulation reached 500,000 copies and stabilized at 330,000 copies a month later.

  But by the late 1980s, the newspaper was in dire straits due to disagreements among its founders and lack of funds.

  Since 1994, the Mirror Group and the Irish Independent News & Media PLC have jointly controlled the Independent. After 1998, INM became the sole owner of the Independent.

  It can be said that "The Independent" is currently the weakest of the four major national newspapers in Britain. Not only is its circulation declining, but also financially, the newspaper has been struggling in the quagmire.

  According to analysis, "The Independent" has suffered significant losses for several consecutive years. Last year, their losses exceeded 10 million pounds for the first time.

  It has been previously reported that INM intends to sell two newspapers with serious losses, the Independent and the Sunday Independent, so that they can get rid of these two burdens and use their funds and energy to develop other businesses.

  And it's not like no one has been in contact with INM, but because they couldn't agree on the price—mainly how to solve the huge debt that The Independent currently bears—the deal ended up being abandoned.

  "Your Highness the Duke, if you want to understand the information in the Independent, you don't want to..."

  At this time, Barron had already devoured his breakfast and was not too restrained by aristocratic etiquette in front of the two ladies. Wiping his mouth, he said leisurely to Yulia:

  "I have such an idea, but I still need to talk to the other party before making a decision." "

  But the financial situation of The Independent is very bad, and the debts borne by the other party are now , I'm afraid it will exceed 20 million pounds, and this newspaper has used many methods, but it can't get rid of continuous losses..." "

  That's why we need to talk to the other party. Don't worry, Ms. Moore, I won't act blindly. Yes. How is the investigation over at King's Cross?"

  Barron's method of shifting the topic to King's Cross was still very effective. Yulia immediately replied:

  "We have indeed discussed several plots of land. Purchase, although the land is not large, no more than 1 hectare - originally it was just scattered hotels, clubs and rental apartments, but these are already the most willing to sell, and they are far away from our gas storage The land in the tank is not far away."

  "What about the price?"

  "These are residential land with complete procedures, so the price is relatively high, but even if a premium is given, compared with land in other more prosperous areas of London, it is still At least one-third lower!"

  With this result, Barron was still very satisfied:

  "Very good, Ms. Moore, continue to follow up. I hope to be able to buy all possible plots in that area, where I am prepared to have Big move, as for funds, don't worry about this, I will solve it."

   The data during the new book period is related to the subsequent recommendations, so it is very important to follow up. I beg you not to keep it all the time. If you feel that it is okay, read it every day. It will help I would like to add some additional reading, thank you very much.
