Chapter 465: Chapter 464 Woaw Listing
"Iraq 'may develop an atomic bomb within 45 days' is proven to be a clumsy lie by Blair"
"What has getting involved in a wrong war brought to the British people?!"
"It has been proven that the Iraq War was a wrong war. The so-called intelligence about 'weapons of mass destruction' has not been substantiated so far..."
"It is reported that in Bush's last meeting with Blair before the war, the latter strongly advocated war, which prompted Bush to make the final decision to start the war..."
"The Iraq War cost Britain a heavy price. In addition to causing significant casualties and property losses, it also made Britain a key target of international terrorist attacks. The July 7 London Underground bombings are an example..."
Immediately, British newspapers and television programs were flooded with accusations against the Prime Minister for launching and participating in the Iraq War.
This includes newspapers and TV stations under the SEM Group. It can be said that they are one of the main forces in public opinion reporting this time.
"Before the war started, our Prime Minister vowed that there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and that they could develop nuclear weapons within 45 days to threaten the civilized world. But until now, Saddam's regime has fallen, a large number of Iraqi civilians have been killed and wounded, and the entire country has fallen into chaos. This chaos has even spread to the British mainland, but we still can't see those so-called weapons of mass destruction. Where are the so-called nuclear weapons? It's like some kind of magic has been cast. All the 'weapons' on the vehicles that claim to be transporting weapons of mass destruction have turned into gold and property..."
On the ITV show, the beautiful host Jo Harriman also continued to denounce the current Prime Minister.
In Barron's eyes, the female host, who was full of justice at this moment, had a kind of private contrasting beauty with the appearance in front of him that day...
According to surveys conducted by relevant agencies, the Labour Party's support among the public has begun to drop sharply in recent times, which will definitely affect the upcoming local council elections...
Even many Labour Party candidates participating in the election of local council members have begun to stand on the side of reflecting on the war and blaming the current prime minister in order to gain more public support.
It can be said that Blair's situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse. He no longer only has to face attacks from the opposition, but there are also more and more accusations from within the Labour Party.
Even in early April, Blair's opponents took to the streets in various parts of Britain, including London, to hold rallies, holding banners and demanding the prime minister to step down. Some even burned Blair's photos on the spot...
Although the tense situation was under control of the police, once the momentum built up, protests could be heard one after another.
In his speech, Cameron, leader of the largest opposition party, the Conservative Party, publicly called on the government to investigate those responsible for falsifying intelligence to get involved in the Iraq War, and claimed that the prime minister should bear the main responsibility for the current results.
It can be said that during his tenure, he created the longest period of prosperity in Britain since World War II. He could have ended his third term in a decent manner and left his name in history for his outstanding achievements. However, this prime minister is now facing the biggest crisis of his life.
…
It is worth mentioning that before Barron got married, he had completed the procedures for placing all his properties other than the family trust fund into the Cavendish Trust Fund established in the British Virgin Islands.
All the shares previously held by DS Holdings, a subsidiary of DS Group, in companies including SEM Group, O2 Telecom, Argos Retail Group, etc., have been transferred to the holding company directly held by the Cavendish Trust.
Now these shares are only held in trust by DS Group...
The proprietary business of DS Capital, a subsidiary of DS Group, that is, the business invested by DS Capital's own funds (Barron's funds), has also become a model in which the funds belong to the Cavendish Trust Fund and are invested by DS Investment Company.
In fact, to put it bluntly, the current DS Group is just a "wealth management company" that helps other funds to be managed and invested, just like the Vanguard Group.
The ownership of the shares and wealth originally held directly by the DS Group has now been transferred to the Cavendish Trust Fund.
It's just a change of ownership.
However, in terms of company operations, there is not much difference from before, except that the transfer of funds in and out requires more procedures and tax optimization management.
After all, once the ownership of assets is transferred to a trust fund, there are many tax preferential policies that can be utilized.
On April 5, Woaw Technology was officially listed on the Nasdaq market.
In this IPO, Woaw Technology will publicly sell 588 million common shares, of which 392 million shares will be newly issued shares.
The final issue price of Woaw stock was set at $3 per share. According to information obtained by Barron, Vanguard Capital subscribed for 80 million of the 588 million common shares issued...
On the day of listing, Woaw stock opened at $3.55. Soon after the opening, its stock price rose to over $4, reaching a high of $4.35 during the trading session. It finally closed at $4.11, a 37% increase from its issue price.
Based on this closing price, Woaw Technology's market value has reached US$16.12 billion. Through this IPO, Woaw Technology will obtain US$1.176 billion in funds.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
After Woaw Technology went public, according to its equity structure, DS Group (Cavendish Trust) held 2.2 billion shares, including 200 million Class A shares, accounting for 56.1% of the shares and 69.9% of the voting rights.
After the listing, Khalid Revere, CEO of Woaw Technology, said that Woaw.com has become the world's largest social network. After the successful launch of the information flow and interactive game "Farmland", the number of Woaw users is still in a rapid growth stage.
In the future, Woaw will be more open, allowing users to experience more social fun.
And after obtaining the funds, they will also make relevant acquisitions to help the company develop in technology and revenue.
According to well-informed sources, Woaw has launched an offensive against DoubleClick, the largest Internet advertising company in the United States at the time, and has proposed a cash and stock acquisition plan of up to US$2 billion to IC Capital, the owner of the company.
Neither Khalid Revere, CEO of Woaw Technology, nor Ivanta TP, president of IC Capital, gave much response to this news, only saying that the two sides are in negotiations.
But at this time, Google could no longer bear it and joined the bidding for DoubleClick... Not only Google, but also Microsoft and Yahoo expressed interest in DoubleClick.
Then, whether DoubleClick, the largest Internet advertising provider in the United States, will be sold in the end and to whom it will be sold has become a great suspense.
