Chapter 99 Investing in Funds (3/4)

Copenhagen Airport is on the island of Amahe, about 8 kilometers from Copenhagen. When the plane arrived, Isabella's father Frederick came to pick them up in person.

Of course, Wang Ye is not a state guest and does not have a guard of honor or something, but his identity cannot be underestimated. He is now one of the largest individual shareholders of the Royal Danish Fund.

Therefore, in order to show his welcome to his arrival, it is more appropriate for the prince to pick him up in person.

As soon as they met, Frederick enthusiastically embraced Wang Ye.

"Mr. Wang, welcome to the beautiful Denmark and hope you can have a wonderful time here."

From the airport to the city, you need to cross a bridge because the city is on another island.

Denmark has a small population, with more than 5 million people and a land area of ​​more than 40,000 square kilometers. It consists of hundreds of islands of all sizes. The population and cities are concentrated on the two largest islands, while the rest of the islands are sparsely populated. About 80% of the islands, even none of them are completely abandoned.

The island where the capital Copenhagen is located is Denmark's largest island - Zeland.

It is said to be the capital, but the population is only more than 500,000...

That is, the urban population of a prefecture-level city in China.

The car was walking through the street, and it was afternoon. Through the car window, Wang Ye looked at the scenery outside.

It turns out that the land is vast and sparsely populated, and there are not many people on the streets of the capital. There are almost no high-rise buildings in the entire city, all of which are two or three-story buildings. Most of them look very old and have been in the past.

Moreover, there are not many cars on the street, and most people ride bicycles. It is said that the mainland is a bicycle kingdom, but it is not correct. According to the population ratio, Denmark is the real bicycle kingdom, because per capita has 1 or 2 bicycles, and more than 80% of people ride bicycles on their daily travel.

People in China suddenly come here and feel unbelievable. Is this one of the richest Nordic countries?

I soon arrived at Amelinburg, where the Queen's family stayed.

Because Isabella's friend and also had business dealings with Frederick, naturally, Frederick's family came to entertain Wang Ye. The place where he lived was also arranged to a room not far from Isabella's bedroom.

Originally, Wang Ye thought he could see the queen, but Isabella told him that the queen had gone abroad to visit again and would not return in a few days.

He is in his seventies and still has to fly abroad frequently. It seems that being a queen is also a chore, Wang Ye shook his head repeatedly.

Dinner is typical Danish delicacies, with dark bread, fried pork balls, boiled cod with spicy and sour mustard sauce, vegetable soup, and some cookies. Of course, there is also the most famous Carlsberg beer in Denmark, which is all about dinner.

Although it is incomparable to Chinese cuisine, it is OK in Europe. After eating it, Wang Ye said that it is much more delicious than the British "Looking up at the Starry Sky"!

Today I just had a long trip. After dinner, I chatted for a while and then washed and rested.

I have to say that ancient castles like Amelinburg do look very grand outside, but when you live in it, they are definitely incomparable to high-rise mansions such as Pengcheng Bay No. 1 and Tongchen Yipin.

This kind of medieval ancient building is often hundreds of years or even hundreds of years old. It is conceivable how old it is. Even after repeated renovations, it is much different from modern buildings.

If possible, the Fredericks would probably have wanted to move out, but not. He is a prince, so of course he has to live in the palace...

After getting up the next day, I had breakfast and started doing business.

This time, I came here not only to acquire the skin care formula, but also to sign a contract with Frederick to officially acquire his royal fund. At that time, in Pengcheng, the two had just reached an agreement, and Frederick also needed to seek the opinions of the fund shareholders.

All the shareholders of the fund, actually Frederick's parents, sisters, brothers and sisters, can all agree and sign a formal contract now.

To sign a shareholding contract, of course, you need to check the foundation's investment projects and cash accounts.

Royal Fund and its companies are basically large Denmark companies, such as Carlsberg, Novel Blue Can Company, etc. Of course, they do not occupy much shares.

Carlsberg is definitely something that most people have heard of. The Carlsberg beer produced is popular all over the world and has a great influence.

As for the novel blue can, its product is actually blue can cookies, which are also best-selling products that can be seen in major supermarkets in China.

Speaking of blue can cookies, in the mainland market, it also has a competitor called "Crown Cookies". Basically, in all supermarkets, these two brands are placed together, with basically the same outer packaging, and the price is a little cheaper for Crown Cookies. They all claim to be authentic Danish cookies.

Many consumers are also stupid and can’t tell the difference, but don’t be deceived.

Although the Crown Cookie is marked with a large golden label on the packaging, it turns out to be Indonesia! It’s ridiculous, it’s called the original imported from Denmark, but the origin is Indonesia.

What's even more exaggerated is that if you check it carefully, it was registered in Denmark after it was sold for a few years.

However, this is market competition. Although the means are a little inferior, there is nothing we can do. Wang Ye doesn’t care. At most, he should pay attention when buying it himself and don’t buy counterfeit goods.

In addition, when checking the foundation's assets, Wang Ye also had an unexpected discovery.

That is, the foundation also owns shares in Estee Lauder! Of course, it only accounts for a small proportion, about 0.18%. Estee Lauder's current market value is as high as 50 billion euros, and this share value is almost 100 million euros.

"Why are there Estee Lauder's shares? This company has been listed for a long time, right?" Wang Ye asked curiously.

"Oh, this is what our family invested a long time ago. At the beginning, there was still 2% of the shares, but there were many financings to expand the shares later. You know, we did not have any extra funds to continue investing, so it was diluted to the present." Frederick smiled awkwardly, and he added.

"This company was pretty good in the past few years and has paid dividends every year, but it has not been possible in the past few years, and the company has suffered losses."

Wang Ye nodded thoughtfully and temporarily put it aside. He still needs to speed up his pace. These real giants have a market value of tens of billions of euros at all times. If you want to compete with them, you cannot do without strong enough strength.

Frederick called out lawyers and notary personnel, and the two officially signed the contract. Wang Ye was transformed and was also one of the shareholders of the Royal Danish Fund.

The asset size of this fund has also expanded from 500 million euros to 750 million euros! As the valuation of USG.com continues to rise, the foundation's assets will continue to grow, which is a joy.

After this matter is done, the rest is the skin care product formula that Wang Ye is most concerned about.

Isabella has already volunteered at the welfare home today, so Frederick came to accompany Wang Ye to do this. However, it was too late today and we would have to wait tomorrow before we could go to the institute to visit the professor.

According to Frederick, the professor's name is Andrew, who works in the Department of Biology at the University of Copenhagen, focuses on the research of marine organisms, and is also an expert in drug research and development.

Wang Ye took out the small silver box and explained for a long time before Frederick remembered what it was. Frederick only knew a little about this skin care product.

Andrew and his father are old friends, and this thing is said to be an unexpected discovery when Andrew was studying a kind of deep-sea seaweed.

That time Isabella suffered a facial injury and had scars, so her grandfather called Andrew to ask which drug is more effective in removing scars.

After hearing this, Andrew sent a large box of "skin care products", and said that it was not necessary to use medicine, and this thing had better scar removal effect.

Originally, it was just used as a medicine, but after Isabella used this thing, she felt that it was also good for skin care, so she used it as a skin care product.

And she was the only one at home. Because she was worried about whether this thing would have adverse effects on the skin, Isabella's mother also called Professor Andrew to consult Professor Andrew. Professor Andrew smiled and said that there was no problem, and that it was 100% pure biological refining and had no adverse effects on the human body.

After listening to Frederick's story, Wang Ye had more questions. Since Andrew is an expert in drug research and development, this thing is so effective in removing scars, why hasn't it been developed?

This question may only be answered after meeting Professor Andrew tomorrow and asking in person.

In the evening, Isabella also came back. Because Wang Ye was here, she made an exception and did not live in a welfare home. Instead, she went there every morning and came back in the evening.

Isabella excitedly told Wang Ye about her experiences and experiences in the day, how well-behaved and cute the children in the welfare home were, how popular the meals she cooked for everyone, etc.

...

Another day passed, and on that morning, Frederick drove Wang Ye to the University of Copenhagen to visit Professor Andrew, who had called in advance to make an appointment with the professor.

It also shows that there was a friend from mainland China who wanted to ask him for some questions in person. Professor Andrew happily agreed and invited Frederick and Wang Ye to meet in his laboratory.

Although the Chinese people don’t know much about it, this school is famous in Europe and the United States.

It is the most famous comprehensive university in Denmark. It ranks first in Nordic Europe, is one of the top three in the whole of Europe, and is the top 30 top research universities in the world!

The University was founded in 1479 and is the second oldest higher education institution in Scandinavia, with a history of more than 500 years.
