Li Guangyu was not in the mood to pay attention to the thoughts of these female senior executives of the consortium. In the small conference room of the Regal Hotel, several major shareholders of Yingya Investment Company gathered together again to discuss the acquisition of Ying Lun.
The power company acquisition negotiations have been going on for so many days, and the current purchase price offered by both parties is much higher than the actual price of British Electric Power Company.
Now some members of the Japanese consortium and the Korean consortium have disagreed to continue the acquisition of the power company. Such an inflated acquisition price is not cost-effective in their view, and it is not a wise move to continue spending money on this company and the American consortium.
Although this attack on the American consortium was purposeful, they absolutely did not want to send money to the British government, and they were not willing to engage in a loss-making business.
In the conference room, Toshihide Iwasaki, the head of the Mitsubishi Group, said: "Mr. Li, the current purchase price of the electric power company has far exceeded its actual market value and also exceeded our plan. I don't think we need to continue to negotiate with the United States on this."
The consortium is fighting to the death, and if we continue like this, we are just sending money to the British government. We are all businessmen, so we should be more sensible."
Kim Woo-jung, the representative of the Korean consortium, also said: "The current price is already 1.5 times the market value of the British Electric Power Company. This is definitely not a normal acquisition price. The reason why the American consortium offered such a high price, I think they are looking at it."
It is certain that Mr. Li must take over this company and deliberately consume us in it. I think we should give up decisively and let the American consortium reap the consequences."
Regardless of whether the Japanese consortium or the Korean consortium are most interested in oil companies, steel companies, Rolls-Royce, and electric power companies, they would have given up long ago if Li Guangyu had not insisted on the acquisition.
The price is so high now, and they don't know when it will end. They are obviously unwilling to continue like this. Although the American consortium is their opponent, they will only compete if it is profitable. These families will not continue to know that they are losing money.
Compete with American conglomerates.
Li Guangyu knew that now he had to make concessions, otherwise this cooperation alliance would probably break up.
Not only are the Korean consortium and Japanese consortium unwilling to continue fighting with the American consortium over the power company, but even the British aristocrats represented by Spencer are obviously unwilling to acquire the British Power Company at such a high price.
The American consortium is really rich. It actually paid such a high price to a company that it doesn't care about. It really isn't afraid of losing money.
Li Guangyu said: "I agree with you. Yingya Investment Company has withdrawn from the competition for the acquisition of British Electric Power Company. Since they want this company, then give it to them. I hope that in the British National Petroleum Company and British Steel
As a company, we should not retreat any further."
Everyone present was very happy to hear that Li Guangyu no longer insisted on acquiring the British Electric Power Company. At this time, they were not willing to make the relationship with the Li Group too tense. The American Group was strong, and only by uniting could they hope to compete.
.
As for the oil companies and steel companies, they will naturally not give up, especially the oil companies. The Japanese consortium, which has been affected by the oil crisis, will not let go of this opportunity this time. With this company, they have advantages in this regard.
given a certain amount of initiative.
They will definitely fight to the end with the American consortium on this, and will never let the American consortium control the channels of world oil resources.
Sumitomo Qiying said with a smile: "Thank you Mr. Li for your profound righteousness. Please rest assured that our Sumitomo family will support the acquisition of these two companies to the end. We, Sumitomo Bank, are willing to provide financial support."
The Sumitomo family is the least willing to have a stalemate with Li Guangyu. The current strength of the Li Group is very terrifying. Even if the Sumitomo Group and the Li Group face off, there is no telling who will lose or win.
At present, there is a big enemy of the American consortium. If they have internal fighting, it will only make the American consortium take advantage of them, which will not benefit them at all.
Li Guangyu will definitely become their biggest enemy in the future, but this does not prevent them from joining forces to fight against the American consortium now, nor does it prevent them from cooperating to make money. The future will be discussed in the future. Even if there will be fierce competition in some industries between the two parties in the future, it will not prevent them from cooperating with each other to make money.
The companies they work with continue to grow.
Just like them and the American consortium, cooperation is cooperation and competition is competition. When there are common interests, even enemies will sit together and develop together.
The Mitsui Consortium is the most slippery in this regard. Toyota continues to squeeze the market of American automobile companies in the U.S. market. At the same time, it establishes a joint automobile company with General Motors Group of the United States to develop new models and produce Toyota series cars.
The essence of the major consortiums is still businessmen, and the pursuit of interests is fundamental. The reason why the American consortium is suppressing the Japanese consortium and the Lee Consortium now is mainly because the rise of these two parties has harmed their interests. If Li Guangyu's group had their shares
, I'm afraid there will be no such thing.
Li Guangyu said: "The American consortium really thought that we would be stupid enough to fight them to the end. Since they want to dig a hole, then we will let them fill it themselves.
We are now in the same boat, and we hope that everyone can work together so that after the European consortium becomes low-key and hidden, no force will confront them.
If we are used to being overlords, we don’t want to see the rise of forces like us. If we want to develop globally, we need to break the current situation. The Asian economy is developing at a high speed. Now is a good time for us to rise. I hope we don’t
There is internal strife within oneself.”
If the East had not been constantly fighting among itself, how could the West have suppressed it, and how could the center of the world have shifted to the West?
Due to some reasons, private consortia mainly focus on South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, among which Japan, South Korea and Hong Kong are the strongest.
Especially because of Li Guangyu's rebirth, the family wealth in Xiangjiang is much higher than in his previous life. The current Xiangjiang consortium is definitely not weaker than the Korean consortium.
As long as the three conglomerates have not had their backbone broken by the American consortium and are not willing to pick up some scraps behind the United States, the three parties can certainly compete with the American consortium together.
Li Jianxi said: "Mr. Li, we at Samsung have always been willing to maintain friendly cooperation with everyone and jointly deal with the threats to us from the West, especially some American consortiums. We are separated by a strip of water and have similar cultures. These are all favorable factors for our mutual cooperation."
Currently, South Korea is the weakest side. Li Jianxi does not want there to be internal strife in this cooperative alliance. Now these groups are not at the same level as the Japanese consortium and the Lee consortium.
Mitsui Nagao said with a smile: "We all belong to Eastern civilization, and we are all in the same boat. We don't want big competition among several parties. The American consortium is our common enemy. We have been suffering from the American consortium and the government in the past twenty years.
There were various suppressions and restrictions, but we never gave in.
Now more forces are rising in Asia, and we are very happy. As long as we in East Asia can unite as one, I believe that the American consortium will also decline."
The scene was quite beautiful. Everyone seemed to be in a life-or-death relationship, and loved each other like a family. All parties knew in their hearts that if the other party had the opportunity, they would not mind stabbing themselves in the back. Historical grudges and national grudges destined the three parties to be unable to cooperate for a long time.
