On April 15, the Britta Stock Exchange was established in the West Africa Financial Center in the city center of Britta, the new capital of Colo.
It has been more than a year and a half since the Colo government announced the construction of a new capital in Britta. At this time, the main functional areas of Britta have begun to take shape.
Since September 2005, Colo announced that it would invest a total of 10 billion US dollars to build the new capital of Britta. It is expected that Britta will cover an area of more than 250 square kilometers and can accommodate more than 2 million permanent residents.
Britta is mainly divided into three parts: administrative district, business district and living district. The 55-story West Africa Financial Center, the tallest building in Britta, is located in its core business district. The
West Africa Financial Center will house the headquarters of the United Bank of West Africa and West Africa Holdings; the West Africa headquarters of Standard Chartered Bank and the Britta Stock Exchange.
The Britta Stock Exchange is held by Kolo Industrial Investment Fund with a 25% stake, West Africa Holdings with a 60% stake, and LOMX Group (London-OMX Group) with a 15% stake.
LOMX Group will provide technical support for the Britta Stock Exchange.
The first companies listed on the Britta Stock Exchange include Tablibo Cement Group, Ormond Confectionery Company and Kolo Telecom.
Tablibo Cement Group was previously held by West Africa Holdings with a 60% stake, and Kolo Development Investment Company with a 40% stake. Initially, through the use of Huaxia's loans and the purchase of equipment, it had a cement plant with a daily output of 5,000 tons in Tablibo, Maritime Province, which is currently the largest cement plant in West Africa.
Ormond Confectionery Company mainly produces chocolate and some categories of candy. It was established by West Africa Holdings after acquiring a company in England and using local cocoa beans as raw materials to establish a large production base in Kolo.
It is worth mentioning that both Colo and its neighboring countries are rich in cocoa beans. The quality of cocoa beans here is better than that of South American products. Therefore, the chocolate they produce is of very good quality.
After being listed on Argos.com, Ormond chocolate is very popular among European users.
As for Colo Telecom, it was taken over by the West African Group from the family of Nassin Dema, the previous dictator of Colo. After taking over, they also improved Colo's telecommunications infrastructure. However, due to Colo's previous economic situation, Colo Telecom still focuses on fixed-line business and only provides broadband and mobile communication services around Loti and Brita.
You know, no matter how poor a country is, there are wealthy classes. Especially with the economic development of Colo in recent years, some related industries have indeed created some wealthy people.
These people, especially some of them who have received elite education, are still very receptive to stocks. Moreover, the three companies that chose to go public in the first batch this time are all companies with very good operating conditions and considerable development potential.
Therefore, after the start of trading on the Cloth Exchange, that is, the Britta Stock Exchange, the purchase of the three stocks was still very popular.
The Cloth Exchange uses the Colo shilling, the legal currency of Colo, as the pricing, and the Britta Stock Exchange temporarily only allows Colo citizens to open accounts. It is worth mentioning that those who were able to buy the first three stocks of the Cloth Exchange and hold them all the time have received generous returns.
...
When Barron returned to the Flower of Lis Manor, he saw Fan Bingbing doing body training.
As we all know, Chinese people have the habit of "confinement". Fan Bingbing once secretly complained to Barron that in order to give her confinement, Fan's mother had been stewing chicken soup, fish soup and pig's trotter soup herself during this period... It caused great difficulties for her to recover her body.
In order to take care of her daughter, Fan's mother asked Fan's father to take care of the child in Yanjing, and she would stay in Los Angeles to accompany her daughter for more than a month. Barron could understand Fan Bingbing's Chinese thoughts. After all, for the Chinese people's physique, this custom of the ancestors may have some truth in it. Moreover, Fan Bingbing's mother was not too outrageous. After all, she had received a good modern education and would only rely on her experience as a "veteran" to ask Fan Bingbing.
Barron could only comfort Fan Bingbing and let her bear it for a while.
Anyway, there was no need to rush to recover her body. The filming of "Succession" would not start for nearly two months, and Fan Bingbing's role setting in it was more suitable for a slightly plump one, so there was no need to be too demanding on herself.
After giving birth to a pair of children, Barron also transferred a courtyard house in Yanjing to Fan Bingbing's name. He bought a total of three courtyard houses in Yanjing at that time, namely the "Little Duke's Mansion" near the Forbidden City, a "Big Duke's Mansion" with four entrances, and a courtyard house near the Summer Palace.
These courtyards have been renovated very well. He gave the courtyard near the Summer Palace to Fan Bingbing. The privacy there is good, so Fan Bingbing can have a more suitable residence when he lives in Yanjing with his children.
In addition, he also bought a luxury house for Fan Bingbing in Shanghai, located near the Bund, where he can directly enjoy the unbeatable river view.
"Succession" is expected to have a total of four seasons, and Fan Bingbing plays the role of "stepmother" in which there are many scenes, so she can shoot this American drama for four consecutive years-of course, this is the premise that the ratings of this series are good. After all, when the ratings are bleak, it is very common in American dramas to directly cut off the subsequent shooting plans.
However, according to the situation in the previous life and Barron's excellent investment and production of this series of TV series, I believe it will not fall to that point.
In addition to "Succession", Barron will also set a few movie roles for Fan Bingbing in the next few years, so she will spend a considerable amount of time in the United States in a year, which is also convenient for her to be with her children here.
Even if she will take on some Chinese TV dramas, when the child is a little older, she will be able to accompany her to China - anyway, Barron's previous Gulfstream G450 is not used very often, and when she uses this plane to travel between the United States and China, it will also be more private.
Barron's arrangements are still very considerate - it can be said that except for Bonnie, Ivanta and a few others, Fan Bingbing is already one of Barron's women that he cares about more.
These intentions also make Fan Bingbing very happy, at least so far, it shows that her choice is correct.
Of course, Barron will not be too partial to one over the other. His first daughter Jennifer is already three years old.
Jennifer's birthday is April 10th. Barron happened to be in Los Angeles and celebrated his daughter's third birthday with Rebecca.
Three-year-old Jennifer has become more and more like a little princess, very cute.
It can even be said that she looks more like Barron, and although Barron does not have many opportunities to spend time with his daughter, Jennifer is very attached to Barron. Every time she sees Barron, she will happily run into his arms.
It was at this time that Barron suddenly felt that he did not want to miss too much time with his children.
Perhaps, there is a chance to bring all the children together...
