I Am a Nobleman in England

"... At present, there is a surplus of fuel in the British natural gas market, and the supply exceeds demand. The contract price of natural gas has fallen across the board. This winter, the profits of our power plants will increase significantly."

After finishing the summary, Corinna, the CEO of the power plant, gave Arthur a slight nod.

Arthur smiled and signaled the other party to continue the meeting process. He was sure that he only came with his ears this time, but to be honest, even if he was asked to speak, he couldn't tell why.

After listening for a full hour, the meeting ended. Accompanied by Corinna and Angela, Arthur returned to the office.

"Corina, what's new about the financing?"

As soon as he sat down, Arthur asked the question he was most concerned about. Before that, the news that the Bristol Coastal Natural Gas Power Plant decided to sell part of its equity to finance the third phase of the project had already been released according to his instructions. out.

Although the valuation of the power plant was much higher than when Arthur purchased it, almost to the point of desperately asking for money, several foreign funds and companies still sent invitations to negotiate.

The consortium led by the Pension Plan Investment Committee of Maple Leaf Country, the Quanta Group of China, and the Feldstone Group controlled by He Rijiang's Muzi family, which surprised Arthur, are all very interested in this part of the coastal power plant's equity.

"The focus of the negotiation process is still about the asset valuation of the power plant. The valuation of 750 million pounds is difficult for these three companies to accept. In this regard, they think we are not sincere. The Pension Plan Investment Committee of Maple Leaf Country has suspended and our of negotiations.

At present, the negotiations with Quanta Group and Changshi Group of China are still at a stalemate, because Christmas is approaching, and the negotiations are now suspended. Corinna reported with a helpless expression.

To be honest, the current state of the negotiation cannot be blamed on the incompetence of their subordinates. The key is to meet a boss who is desperate for money, and there is too little room for them to maneuver in the negotiation. It is already very difficult for two companies to acquire, mainly because the other two companies really want to join.

Although Arthur is a little surprised that the Quanta Group of the Celestial Dynasty and the Changshi Group of the Muzi Family can persist until now, he can understand the real purpose of the other party, especially the Quanta Group. The other party is undoubtedly a drunkard.

Don’t think that most developed countries, especially those in Europe, are currently trapped in a vicious circle. Affected by the global financial crisis, they have reduced international investment, streamlined and divested international assets. It created opportunities for Tianchao enterprises to go global.

Sometimes, money may not be omnipotent, especially with the increasingly severe regional protectionism, which increases the risk factor of the investment environment. Moreover, in many cases and projects, the review of enterprises in some countries is even more important. For strict!

The reality is that there are still great obstacles to enter the markets of developed countries. Overseas direct investment really presents both challenges and opportunities.

Therefore, in order to carry out overseas acquisitions smoothly, strengthen public relations, and avoid zz-oriented accountability, in the process of mergers and acquisitions, do a good job in ZF public relations, maintain good communication with some forces and departments, and obtain support and cooperation. Sometimes, more money is more important than money.

Perhaps the coastal power plant in the hands of Arthur is indeed an excellent asset in a valuation depression, but under the circumstances of Arthur's hype and desperate money, the asset valuation of the Bristol Coastal Natural Gas Power Plant has some bubbles , and even so, these two companies still insist on becoming shareholders of the power plant,

That means that the other party is not just doing business for profit.

A stepping stone, a springboard. . .

Arthur shook his head and laughed. He really didn't care about the other party's real purpose at all. To him, as long as the other party could come up with money, it was fine. As for whether the money had other colors, he didn't care at all.

Seeing the young boss who suddenly shook his head and laughed, Corinna and Angela looked at each other, and Angela frowned slightly and persuaded: "Boss, if we really want to promote the listing of the coastal power plant as soon as possible, we really need Complete the financing as soon as possible and introduce new shareholders, and the longer the delay, the more unfavorable the changes in the external environment will be to our advantage!"

"Oh? What do you say?" Arthur raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Angela and asked.

"Under the haze of the full-blown European debt crisis, the British economy is now on the verge of recession, and at the same time it is facing the most serious deficit burden since World War II.

Moreover, dragged down by the European debt crisis, there are quite a few European countries currently trying to increase income and reduce expenditure through privatization of state-owned assets. According to my knowledge, in addition to the UK, more than a dozen countries including Greece and Spain are preparing to sell or lease state-owned assets in order to get rid of the debt burden.

Assets to be sold include state-run energy companies, airlines and subway services. In the next two years, the "big auction" of state-owned assets in Europe may experience an unprecedented tragedy.

Among them, Greece is undoubtedly the member state of the euro zone with the most "dumping goods". According to the privatization plan that Greece plans to launch next year, the country will raise about 50 billion euros through the privatization of state-owned enterprises by the end of 2015.

Privatization projects include companies, natural gas companies, railway companies, and even national defense equipment companies, mining and metallurgical companies, Greek Postal Bank, Greek Agricultural Bank, Greek Electric Power Company, Greek Vehicle Company, Greek Telecom Company, Greek International Airport and 39 regional xing airports, Piraeus Port, Thessaloniki Port, Athens Water Supply Company and more. . . "

Arthur was stunned when he heard this, he was so poor and crazy! Greece is so close to selling off the whole country!

"... If we can't complete the financing as soon as possible, some of our advantages will disappear with time and external changes, because there are too many targets to choose from!"

To be honest, Angela was also a little anxious. She didn't expect that the situation would turn into this situation. Greece was completely ready to start the big sale mode. Time is not up.

And Arthur was extremely depressed and also a little panicked at the same time. He thought his property was a hot commodity, but now he knows that the whole of Europe will become a super hypermarket in a short time. No one is interested anymore. . .

"In this way, Corinna, you immediately notify the negotiators of China's Quanta Group and He Rijiang's Changshi Group to resume negotiations tomorrow morning, with an asset valuation of 600 million pounds and 15% of each company's assets. Talk about a new plan for the share cap.

Try to initial the agreement before Christmas and tell them that we are preparing for the listing by introducing shareholders. I believe they will not refuse this opportunity to make money! "

Arthur knew that he had to make a decision at this time, and he had to race against time to pull people onto the boat.

Angela and Corinna were slightly surprised when they heard the boss's decision, but they didn't refute the boss's decision, and then heard Arthur continue: "Tell all the employees that they can use the estimated total assets of 400 million pounds Value, buying the original shares of the power plant, only 10% of the shares, this is the only benefit that my new boss can give them before the company's shareholding system reform, I hope I can grasp it!"
