After returning to London in the afternoon, Gu Zhengsheng came to the hotel to report to Li Guangyu: "Li Sheng, this acquisition is a bit troublesome. Some American capital has taken action, especially Citigroup, Rockefeller, Morgan and the four major California consortiums.
Investment companies are eyeing a number of British companies, and if we want to easily acquire natural gas and other companies, I'm afraid it will be a lot more difficult."
Li Guangyu didn't realize that at this time, these American consortiums were still thinking of coming to get involved. It seemed that the pressure on them from the Japanese consortiums in the United States was not strong enough.
The top four consortiums in the United States are coming this time, and each of them is far more powerful than him. If these groups are eyeing these groups, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to take over these companies.
Li Guangyu asked: "Do you know which industries these groups are planning to take over?"
"Li Sheng, the Rockefeller Group and the Morgan Group are all in contact with British National Petroleum Company, the First Citigroup Group is in contact with British Aerospace Company, and the California Group is in contact with British Steel Company and British European Airways. In addition, they have
Personnel are also investigating the situation of natural gas, electricity and other companies, and we cannot rule out that they will stumble upon us in this regard."
Li Guangyu knew that American consortiums also came here to buy the bottom. If the United States did not promote the privatization of state-owned enterprises in Western Europe this time, he would not believe it.
These consortiums in the United States just want these countries to privatize. They use their abundant funds to buy lows, so that they can control the economic development of various countries and tie them firmly to their chariots.
The European Community is getting bigger and bigger now, and the establishment of the European Union is gradually advancing. This political, military, and economic integration organization is something the United States does not want to see, but the United States has no way to stop it now. For the sake of the United States in the future,
With the influence of Western Europe, they hope to control some industries in Western European countries, and it is the United States that advocates a free economic system.
Li Guangyu is very clear that the ability of French Chirac to take the stage this time is indispensable for the actions of the United States. They just do not want France to continue to nationalize operations like this. This is contrary to the strategy implemented by the United States. In order to interrupt France's current development model
, the Chirac camp that aims at privatization is naturally supported by the United States.
This time Li Guangyu will have a fight with the American consortium in England. This is not the United States. These consortiums do not have the support of the US government. Even if they have very strong funds, Li Guangyu will not be afraid of them.
Li Guangyu said: "Zhengsheng, you go learn more about this situation. At the same time, you inform Tianfan, Miss Zhao, Qi Hui, and Ziyu to contact the British government and oil companies, Rolls-Royce, and British Aerospace."
Company, British Steel and British European Airways to discuss acquisitions of these companies."
Since the American consortium wants to acquire these companies, Li Guangyu will create obstacles for them to see if these consortia are still interested in competing with them in the three companies of natural gas, tap water, and electricity.
Now that the American consortium has come over, Li Guangyu naturally needs to win over some allies. Li Guangyu believes that Japan is still very interested in oil companies. At present, he does not have the strength to challenge the American consortium alone. Now he can only unite with the Japanese consortium.
.
This time Li Guangyu not only wants to win over the Japanese consortium, but also the Korean consortium. As a country that mainly relies on imports of resources, the Korean consortium also hopes to take the initiative when it comes to oil and steel. Li Guangyu does not believe that they are interested in the British.
Some companies are not interested.
Since he wanted to play big, it was the first time that the Li Group and the American Group took the initiative to compete. Li Guangyu chose the British market as the battlefield. He wanted to see how powerful the American Group was.
When Gu Zhengsheng saw that Li Guangyu was directly pursuing the goals of several major American consortiums, he knew that this matter might not be over in a short time.
I'm afraid that the British government will be happy this time. This time, these companies are very large and cannot be swallowed up by ordinary forces. With competition from the American consortium and the Lee consortium, they can sell these companies at higher prices.
.
However, Gu Zhengsheng also knew that they had to fight back this time. The Li Group was planning to acquire natural gas, and the power companies and other major forces were quite aware of it. At this time, the American group was still investigating and contacting these companies. It was obvious that
Came for them.
If we back down again this time, I am afraid that the Lee Consortium will face such problems every time it makes an acquisition in the future. The American consortium is obviously preparing to crack down on the industrial expansion of the Lee Consortium.
Gu Zhengsheng said: "Li Sheng, I will inform Tianfan, Ziyu and the others, and we have reached an agreement with Spencer and the others on the joint venture. We occupy 40% of the shares, and a dozen of them jointly occupy 60%."
% of the company’s shares, the company’s registered capital is 10 billion pounds, and we need to contribute 4 billion pounds, which is 6.1 billion US dollars.”
Li Guangyu said: "I am going to hold a dinner party the day after tomorrow. You will send invitations to the Dukes of Westminster, Argyll, Marlborough, etc., as well as the Marquises and Earls."
Li Guangyu wants to play big this time, which requires the support of these local forces. Moreover, if he acquires some strategic British companies, having them as shareholders will make the acquisition more powerful.
For example, the British company Rolls-Royce and the British Aerospace Company are all companies of strategic significance to the British. Without British capital in them, it would be difficult for Li Guangyu to take over them.
After Gu Zhengsheng left, Li Guangyu told Gan Qin: "You contact Chen Dong in Xiangjiang early tomorrow morning and ask him to contact the major shareholders of Xiangjiang Bank and ask them if they are interested in taking some shares in the acquisition here. If they are willing,
If so, ask them to send some representatives over.
At the same time, contact Qin Jiao in Japan and ask her to visit several major Japanese consortiums and Ito, Fujiwara and other families, and ask them if they are interested in these companies in England and if they are willing to cooperate with us. The focus is on oil companies and they are willing to cooperate.
They also hope that several of their speakers can come to London.
Inform our person in charge in South Korea to also communicate with several major Korean families about cooperation in this area. If you are willing, a few people in charge can come over."
It is currently late at night in Hong Kong, Tokyo, and Seoul. Li Guangyu doesn't want to disturb these people with phone calls. He can only ask the responsible persons from various places to communicate late at night in London and in the morning over there.
This time, Li Guangyu hopes to attract some capital and allow several parties to form a strong coalition to jointly deal with the American consortium.
Although the United States is extremely powerful militarily and even has troops stationed in Japan, South Korea and other places, the consortiums of these two countries dare to fight with the American consortiums as long as they have the opportunity.
Li Guangyu attracted a group of Eastern consortiums and families this time to let the American consortium know the strength of the Eastern Consortium.
Gan Qin knew that Li Guangyu wanted to compete with the American consortium in the British market. Although the Li's consortium was still weak compared to the American consortium, in some areas, the Li's consortium already had the strength to compete with them.
Gan Qin responded: "Li Sheng, don't worry, I will personally contact Chen Sheng, Sister Jiao, and Yang Sheng after dawn over there."
