Spencer felt that it was not without reason that the Lee Consortium could develop like this. Look at the man at the helm. He has developed such a thick skin in business at such a young age. This is because he wants others to help him after selling him.
Count money.
At the same time, he also saw that the Li Consortium really wanted to eat up these companies. He didn't believe that Li Guangyu didn't know what he and others were thinking. Now this kind of response made Spencer feel very difficult to handle.
These families also hope to swallow up these companies this time, so that there will be no big problems in the future development of their families.
Whether it is electric power companies, water companies, or natural gas companies, these are all used by citizens every day. There is basically no risk involved in investing in these companies. Even if you wait for others to grow old and your successors fail to live up to their expectations, you have shares in these companies.
He won't be impoverished, and he won't lose all his family fortune that has been built for hundreds of years.
Spencer does not want his son to be forced to sell Althorp Manor a hundred years later. This has been the property of the Spencer family for hundreds of years. If anyone sells this manor, it will be Spencer.
The sinner of the family.
So this time, he must fight for these companies, not only for the interest group he belongs to, but also for his descendants to keep this manor and the roots of the Spencer family in the future.
He said to Li Guangyu: "I admire Mr. Li's mood very much. It's just that as British nobles, we enjoy the respect of the citizens. This time it involves such a thing, so it is natural that we should bear such responsibility."
, I think I won’t bother Mr. Li with such matters as being a good logistics manager for the citizens.”
Li Guangyu was also speechless about this count. He was just using his own words and didn't even look for new excuses. Moreover, he had even better reasons for doing so.
However, Li Guangyu will not choose to give up the acquisition. He just returned empty-handed in France. He does not want to do it again in England. In that case, he will really get nothing when he comes to Western Europe this time. What will he do?
Can be willing.
Li Guangyu said: "Mr. Earl, the profitability of these companies is not high, so why do you spend a lot of investment on them? I'm afraid the gains outweigh the losses. I really came here with the intention of serving this time. You can see
Looking at our companies involved in this area in Hong Kong, they are all low-profit companies, and some are even currently operating at a loss."
Spencer doesn't believe Li Guangyu's theory. He has already monopolized many industries. Even if the profit is low and there is a market of millions of people, it is still a terrifying figure.
If he didn't make money, Li Guangyu would probably have given up talking to him long ago. He, Li Guangyu, was not a fool. Without enough profits, how could he risk offending the British aristocracy and compete with him for the acquisition rights of these companies.
Spencer didn't want to continue talking in circles with Li Guangyu, and it was getting late now. He said straight to the point: "Mr. Li, we don't speak secretly. This time the British government took out these companies, and some families and I have
We did a lot of work, but we didn't expect Mr. Li to come so quickly. This caught us a bit unexpectedly. We don't know if Mr. Li can make some concessions. We really don't want to compete with the Li Group in business.
.”
At present, there is not much competition between the Li Group and them. In terms of real estate, the Li Group has not come in at all. Minerals are developed independently without interference. In terms of tourism, the Li Group has not intervened. The aristocratic class has no influence on the Li Group.
There is no hostility.
In their homeland, the most fierce battles between the Li family and the consortium are not traditional nobles like them, but more newly emerging families, especially those financial families and business families.
The industries of these families in Xiangjiang were severely suppressed by the Li Group. Many families even gave up the Xiangjiang market directly, harboring a grudge against the Li Group.
It's a pity that the gap between them and the Li's Consortium is getting bigger and bigger now, and there's nothing they can do against the Li's Consortium, so they can only endure it.
Li Guangyu also thought seriously. Although he had strong financial resources, he could take over these companies if he was willing to spend a lot of money.
But this would really offend the entire British aristocratic class. The profits of these companies are far different from those of the groups under their own companies. It seems not worthwhile to offend many aristocratic families in England for this profit.
Now everyone is focusing on the three companies of electricity, tap water, and natural gas. As long as they win these three companies, they can collect money with peace of mind without worrying about the great impact of economic changes on them.
Li Guangyu thought for a while and then said: "In order to show respect for you and hope to make friends with you, I am willing to give up the acquisition of the natural gas company."
Spencer was very happy when he saw that Li Guangyu was willing to make concessions. Although he only gave up one company, it meant that they had room for negotiation.
To be honest, he doesn't want to be an enemy of the Li Group, as that will only cause them to suffer huge losses. Although they are confident that they can cause huge trouble to the Li Group, but in this business of killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred,
He doesn't want to do it.
We are all businessmen, and cooperation is the best choice. Fighting with each other is not what smart people should do unless it is a last resort.
Spencer smiled and said: "We also make friends with Mr. Li in good faith. We don't want Mr. Li to withdraw from the acquisition of any company. We prefer to conduct joint venture acquisitions with Mr. Li. We all know that Mr. Li has established partnerships with many forces.
established a joint venture.
I don’t know if Mr. Li is willing to establish a joint venture with us to invest in some industries in the UK or even the Commonwealth and the European Community. We don’t mind if Mr. Li arranges personnel to control this company.”
A short circuit suddenly appeared in Li Guangyu's head. Spencer's turn suddenly turned too fast. His superiors also wanted him to withdraw from this acquisition. They suddenly wanted to establish a joint venture investment company with him.
Give yourself control.
This really caught Li Guangyu a little off guard, and he was really confused about Spencer's plan.
When Li Guangyu didn't know it, Spencer had already communicated with some dukes and marquises. Li Guangyu's development was limitless. Over the years, the companies that cooperated with Li Guangyu were able to follow suit. They also want this time
Hop on the express train of development.
As long as Li Guangyu is willing to make concessions on this acquisition, then they will raise the issue of establishing a joint venture.
If Li Guangyu is too independent and doesn't take nobles like them seriously, then they can only go against the grain.
Things are obviously developing in a good direction now. Li Guangyu is a person who takes things seriously and does not ignore them just because he has strong financial resources.
And they hope that the establishment of this joint venture can develop rapidly under the leadership of Li Guangyu. Not to mention like New Asia and China Investment Company, they will be satisfied if they can invest in some companies with good development potential.
They will not follow the example of those American families in suppressing the Li Consortium. They do not have the strength to reach the top of the world, nor do they have such ambitions. Li Guangyu has created such a miracle of wealth in just a few years. If they can make good friends or even cooperate,
