On the night when the Saudi royal family and Kuwait teamed up to take over the British National Oil Company, Li Guangyu, Sumitomo Kiriying and others held negotiations again.
The most important oil company has been taken over by the Saudi Investment Company, while the steel company Li Guangyu and the Japanese consortium are not interested. The only one worth looking forward to now is Rolls-Royce. But now it seems that the West German consortium has already
They regard it as something in their pocket, and the price is quite high, and they are determined to win it. It is estimated that they and the American consortium are accompanying them.
This time, Li Guangyu and the American consortium were greatly disappointed. Instead, the core of the competition was taken away by other forces. The purpose of sniping at the opponent's acquisition was achieved, but as a result, he gained little.
Whether this action is worth it or not, it is hard to say who will gain and who will lose. Anyway, the two sides have been completely at loggerheads in the past few years. The British side is just the beginning. In the privatization process in Western Europe and even Eastern Europe in the future, both sides will continue to do so.
There is fierce competition in multiple countries and regions.
Li Guangyu said: "Everyone, I'm afraid this acquisition will come to an end. The dust of the oil company has settled. There are no companies worthy of our attention at present. It is impossible for us and the American consortium to acquire Rolls-Royce."
Once acquired, this company involves the core security of the European Community. Airbus engines are provided by this company, and the Western European consortium will not allow external forces to acquire it."
Iwasaki Toshihide was very disappointed. This time they only won the natural gas company and water company that he did not value, but the oil company he hoped to win did not.
If he had known that this was the case, he would not have come to London to waste time. He would not have gained any benefit, but it would have delayed his handling of the Mitsubishi Consortium's affairs.
He said: "In this case, we will suspend acquisitions and the company's funds will go into the stock market to acquire shares of listed companies with good potential in the London market."
Sumitomo Qiying naturally has no objection to this. The Sumitomo Foundation has no interest in other companies. It is best to do this now. In terms of steel technology, the companies under the Sumitomo Foundation are no worse than the British Steel Company.
This time, as long as we can attack the American consortium, as long as we limit the power of the American consortium to the American market, as time goes by, the power of the American consortium will become increasingly declining.
If given a chance, Japan's major conglomerates are absolutely unwilling to have the United States station troops in their country. As long as they defeat the Japanese consortium economically, they can take more initiative. If one day the Japanese consortium can occupy the U.S. market, they will be able to influence it.
The U.S. Congress asked the U.S. government to withdraw its troops from Japan.
Li Jianxi saw that both the Japanese consortium and the Lee consortium had given up on the acquisition, and he agreed with Li Guangyu's opinion.
At present, among the three parties, only their Korean consortium is the weakest. If they want to truly be on an equal footing with these two parties, their Korean companies still need to focus on development. Li Jianxi believes that in the future, their Korean consortium will have the strength to compete with the Japanese consortium and the Xiangjiang consortium.
Higher or lower.
Sumitomo Qiying said with a smile: "Mr. Li, I heard from domestic reports that you are recruiting technicians for the steel company. It seems that Mr. Li is preparing to establish his own steel company. I wonder what your plans are?"
Li Guangyu knew that his actions could not be hidden from others, and he himself had no intention of hiding them from others.
He said: "I have acquired a lot of technology from British Steel Company. I plan to build a steel plant in Dongfang Port and enter the steel industry."
The Li Group is really powerful. When others acquire a company, they secretly get the technology. As long as they have talents in this field, the Li Group will soon be able to establish a huge steel company.
The Li Group has no shortage of mineral resources in Australia. Even if we do not count the two giant iron ore mines they cooperate with, Marandu and Xinyigeji, which have a stock of more than one billion tons, the iron ore reserves held by their Xingyuan Group exceed
200 million tons were produced, which was enough for the development of the Lee Consortium Steel Company.
And based on Li Guangyu's actions, I'm afraid most of the workers working in this company will be Chinese. As for how Li Guangyu gets people there, Sumitomo Qiying and others are not worried about Li Guangyu at all.
Sumitomo Qiying knew that it was impossible for them to prevent Li Guangyu from entering the steel industry. From Li Guangyu's actions, it can be seen that Li Guangyu had never thought about seeking technical support from them, and directly sought technical support from British Steel Company.
When purchasing technology, conflicts arise in communication between different parties.
He doesn't care about anything else right now. There is no trace of Li Guangyu Steel Company yet. Their company's equipment is a huge order, and Sumitomo Qiying doesn't want to lose it.
He said to Li Guangyu: "Mr. Li, your steel company's equipment has not been ordered yet. I wonder if you have considered our Sumitomo-owned companies. Please rest assured that we will definitely provide you with the highest quality products."
Li Guangyu is not considering this issue now. He will only start to consider these issues after Gu Zhengsheng goes to Perth, the capital of Western Australia, to register the group and then establishes a company in Oriental Port.
Li Guangyu responded: "We have maintained good cooperation with the Sumitomo family for many years. After the establishment of the company there, we will give priority to Sumitomo's products. We also hope that Mr. Sumitomo can give more assistance to our steel company. After all, I
Just a layman on this."
"Mr. Li was joking. The Li Group's current development was all developed by you. Whether it was the clothing industry or the video game industry at the beginning, as well as the cultural media industry, the real estate industry, and even the financial industry, you have
Nothing is wrong, so far, we don’t know what we don’t know about Mr. Li,” Iwasaki Toshihide said.
There was a thick stack of information about Li Guangyu in Iwasaki Toshihide's hands. He really didn't know what else Li Guangyu didn't understand.
Li Guangyu is setting the development direction of all groups under the Li Group, and each group is developing very fast.
In the stock market, Li Guangyu is even known as the god of stocks. As long as he takes action, he will never fail.
In 1982, the Sanhe Consortium invested billions of dollars in Li Guangyu, so much so that now the Sanhe Consortium is raising the threat theory of the Lee Consortium, believing that if they continue to allow the Lee Consortium to develop, it will have a huge impact on them in the future.
The threat may even cause them to suffer heavy losses.
Li Guangyu said with a smile: "Mr. Iwasaki, you are so complimentary. I am a little smart, plus I have been lucky in the past few years, and with you attracting the firepower of American consortiums, my industry can develop steadily.
As for the group's affairs, they are all managed by the major presidents, and I rarely interfere with them. It's not like you don't know my diploma."
Li Guangyu does not want the Japanese consortium to regard him as a strong threat yet. Currently, the Japanese consortium is mainly supporting the American consortium. Once these two companies join forces to suppress him, it is estimated that the development of the Li Consortium will be greatly affected.
The main reason now is that the Korean consortium is too weak. If the Korean consortium rises, it will be able to contain the Japanese consortium to a certain extent, and their tripartite relationship will be more stable.
No matter how fast the Li Group develops, it is impossible to suppress the major Japanese consortiums on its own. Moreover, there are American consortiums watching eagerly. Once the three of them are in civil strife, they will all be suppressed by the American consortium.
