At ten o'clock in the evening Tokyo time and one o'clock in the afternoon London time, after receiving the notice of the shareholder resolution here, Yingya Company immediately held a high-level meeting to make key arrangements for the acquisition of the power company and water company, striving to complete the two acquisitions within a week.
Companies ate it.
At the same time, people were also arranged to keep a close eye on companies such as British National Petroleum Company, Rolls-Royce Company, and British Steel Company, which were the focus of the American consortium, to prevent these companies from being acquired by Yingli Corporation during this period.
There is naturally no shortage of voices opposing the privatization of state-owned enterprises in the UK. However, the Conservative Party has stabilized the domestic situation after being in power for so many years. Although there are some noises, it does not affect the progress of the government's sale of state-owned assets.
In the office of British Prime Minister Thatcher, another meeting was held on the current disposal of state-owned assets.
The Secretary of Commerce who was responsible for the disposal reported: "Prime Minister, this time due to the competition between Asian consortiums and American consortiums, the price of each of our companies is much higher than previously expected. For example, the natural gas company acquired by Anglo-Asian Company is more than
Our expected price was nearly a billion pounds too high."
The faces of both Thatcher and those present were full of joy. This time, these two huge forces competed with each other, and their industries could obtain a lot of financial income from the British government.
This is just a natural gas company. The oil company between the two parties will definitely bring amazing profits to the government. You must know that the current market value of British National Petroleum Company is as high as more than 23.2 billion pounds. As long as the two parties pay a premium of one percentage point, then
That's hundreds of millions of pounds.
Obviously, these two major forces will not let go of this company easily. The government's shares may be priced at a premium of not just one percentage point, but a premium of 20% or even 30%. If the competition between the two parties intensifies, there is a chance of a 50% premium.
Thatcher said with a smile: "You must stabilize the situation. In the two major companies of electricity and water supply, you can favor Yingya Investment Company. In other companies, you must run business affairs. Enterprises involving people's livelihood should be left to the Li Group and others."
With good control, they have no political demands and are real businessmen.
The American consortium has political links here, and we cannot allow companies that are fundamentally related to the production and life of citizens to be controlled by the American consortium."
Electricity, water power and natural gas companies have a great influence, and the Lee consortium controls these, which has huge benefits for both the British government and the Conservative Party. They naturally know how to make choices.
This is the largest privatization of state-owned enterprises in British history. If all these companies can be sold, it is expected to increase the British fiscal revenue by hundreds of billions of pounds, and at the same time free the government finances from the embarrassing situation of blood transfusions for these enterprises.
With such a huge amount of funds, the British government can better implement policies, and I believe that the domestic economy that has fallen into sluggishness can be completely reversed.
The Secretary of Commerce said: "These days, many media and citizens are criticizing our sale of the natural gas company. Important members of the Labor Party are even accusing us of harming the interests of the country and making the people of the country pay for our lack of economic development.
At the same time, strikes have occurred in some companies, and we need to resolve these as soon as possible, otherwise it will be very detrimental to us over time."
Thatcher was naturally aware of some voices from the outside world, but she did not care about them. As long as the economic vitality was stimulated and the domestic unemployment rate could be reduced, she believed that these voices would naturally disappear.
Those people are just shouting slogans, and they don't look at how much financial subsidies the government has to provide every year to stabilize the development of these companies. These companies have become a cancer for the government. If they are not removed, how can the government develop?
Thatcher said: "You must control the propaganda work. We will not compromise with those individuals who were instigated by the Labor Party to go on strike. We once survived the coal industry strike for a year. Now this
Ordering people to go on strike is irrelevant. Those in the Labor Party can do nothing except organize workers and trade unions to strike."
The Iron Lady Thatcher really looked down on this trick played by the Labor Party and thought that she could compromise herself in this way. The Labor Party was too naive.
She firmly believes that only by unswervingly implementing her own economic reforms can Britain get out of the current development quagmire. This has been confirmed by the development of the former Bentley Group, British Telecom Group and later Xingyuan Mining Company.
After the sale of these companies, they not only no longer need government subsidies, but can also increase a large amount of tax revenue for the government every year. As long as half of the sold companies can achieve this effect, the development of Britain will no longer be a problem.
The Minister of Industry said: "Prime Minister, there is nothing wrong with other industries. However, regarding Rolls-Royce and aerospace companies, the military is more opposed. They believe that this is related to the strategic security of the steward, and it is not recommended to transfer these two companies."
The company is for sale, and the European Community does not want us to sell Rolls-Royce to an American consortium."
Rolls-Royce, one of the world's top aerospace engine companies, currently not only provides engines for Rolls-Royce cars, but also provides engines for British military aircraft and Airbus. Whether it is the British military or Airbus,
Hopefully this company will be controlled by an American consortium.
Thatcher said: "Don't be in a hurry to sell Rolls-Royce for the time being. Let's wait and see what happens later. At the same time, contact the European Community. If they don't want this company to be controlled by an American consortium, please ask
They also joined in, and now that we have taken the company out, there is no way we can take it back."
Now that the sales of these state-owned assets have far exceeded expectations, it doesn't matter if the government continues to maintain Rolls-Royce. Moreover, Airbus's long-range aircraft to be launched next year will use this company's engines. She knows about the Lee Consortium.
The order is not small, and maybe this company will make a lot of money by then.
Thinking about this, Thatcher hoped that Li Guangyu could take over British European Airlines. In this case, Xiangjiang Airlines would increase its fleet significantly and Airbus would have more orders, thus Rolls-Royce
The company's orders will also be more.
Although this airline currently does not have many aircraft, it has three main airport bases and is also the top three airports in the UK. With Li Guangyu's courage, if he takes over this airline, hundreds of airports will be added immediately.
Routes and hundreds of aircraft ordered.
Thatcher had a good idea, but unfortunately Li Guangyu doesn't have much funds now. Even if he wanted to take over the airline, he doesn't have the financial resources.
At present, Li Guangyu's Xiangjiang Air Transport Group has aviation bases in five cities: Xiangjiang, Taoyuan, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, and Vancouver, with more than 200 routes, 150 civil aviation passenger aircraft, and 30 cargo aircraft.
Now what restricts the expansion of Xiangjiang Airlines is not the routes and funds, but the long-range aircraft of Airbus. Due to the deterioration of the relationship between the Lee Group and the American consortium, even if the Boeing 747 can fully meet the needs of Xiangjiang Airlines, the expansion has been suspended.
, waiting for the products from Airbus to come out.
After next year, Li Guangyu will no longer be short of funds, and the airline will expand rapidly again by then.
