I Am a Nobleman in England

For a long time, infrastructure construction in emerging markets has been a "big cheese" in the minds of investors. But in recent years, there have been many investment opportunities in countries like the UK that desperately need to replace their outdated infrastructure.

With the active participation of major sovereign wealth funds, British infrastructure is becoming more and more attractive as a very stable investment.

Although the return on infrastructure investment is low, it can provide long-term and stable income, and it is not easy for competitors to enter. This is very attractive to institutional investors whose main purpose is to invest steadily.

Since the Bristol Coastal Natural Gas Power Plant was bought by the young billionaire Earl Arthur Bolling in October this year, there have been various news and news.

The valuation of 400 million pounds is completely underestimated. Arthur Bolling picked up a bargain. The third phase of the project, which has been delayed for many years, is restarted under the new boss. What is inviting an accounting firm to audit its financial situation and is preparing to go public So, it was so lively.

As the boss Arthur Boleyn became more and more famous and became the new darling of the British media, news related to him naturally attracted much attention and pursuit.

The popularity of a press conference is often highly consistent with the corresponding news scale of the organizer. Arthur Boleyn, who has been elusive since disappearing from London, made his public appearance again, and it was a press conference that invited many media to participate. Naturally, it attracted Many media.

Before 8 o'clock in the morning, many reporters came to the lobby of the office building of the Coastal Power Plant to wait. At 9:15, the entire hall was full of media reporters who rushed over, carrying "long guns and short cannons" one by one, dragging the camera stand and waiting for the housekeeper.

A rough count has at least over 100 media reporters, many of whom are foreign reporters. There are also many Chinese media and media from Tianchao He Rijiang. As the time of the press conference approached, reporters began to enter the venue orderly along with the staff certificates.

"The degree of attention is different! Even the reporters from the gossip tabloids are here..." A reporter from China Daily sighed when he heard a reporter behind him queuing up to enter the arena.

"No way, who made his photos easy to sell? Didn't he just be elected as the "No. 1 man that British girls want to marry most" a few days ago? Ha, an economic news, so much entertainment, gossip media , is enough.”

The Chinese media reporter was heartbroken. As an expatriate reporter for a famous newspaper, he only received the assignment last night. On the way here, he just had a general look at the background of the news. He only knew that the overseas investment of Chinese companies He just regarded the new development as a normal news task, but now it seems that it is not that simple.

At that time, many cameras were set up at the press conference, and the scene was very spectacular. Many media reporters were amazed. This is not what a press conference held by a power plant should be like. The scene was too shocking.

The press conference was full of seats. Many marveled at Arthur Boleyn's news appeal.

There are still 10 minutes before the press conference, and the spacious and bright hall is full of journalists from media inside and outside the UK, exchanging pleasantries, greetings, compliments, in Chinese and English. . . Intertwined into the most normal warm-up scene of the press conference.

At 10:00 in the morning, the press conference officially began. With a well-tailored suit, the handsome Arthur appeared with an elegant smile on his face, together with Wu Qiang from Quanta Group and the eldest son of Changshi Group. On the stage, in the fast and quiet hall, the "click" sound of the camera was replaced, and the sound of the computer typing on the keyboard resonated at the same frequency.

"Good morning, welcome everyone..." The host of the press conference smiled and stood on the left side of the stage to greet the reporters present. Then, in the cadenced London voice, the host introduced Arthur , the identities of Wu Qiang and the eldest son once again caused a flash of light and a rattling shutter sound.

Immediately afterwards, Arthur, Wu Qiang and the eldest son signed a formal transaction contract under the witness of media reporters. Of course, this was all a formality. Shake hands and let the media take pictures.

Arthur stood in the middle of the two, crossed his left and right hands, and shook hands with Wu Qiang and the eldest son respectively. The three of them faced the press box with happy smiles, and let the reporters take pictures. The flash lights flickered into a vast expanse of white.

After taking the photo, Arthur smiled and signaled Wu Qiang and the eldest son to take their seats. He took the seat between the two without hesitation, and spoke into the microphone with a calm and indifferent smile on his face.

"Good morning, thank you all for coming to today's press conference. After the equity transaction of the Coastal Power Plant is completed, the assets will be held by myself, Tianchao Quanta Group and Tianchao Herijiang Changshi Group. I personally hold 100% of the shares. 70% of the shares, Quanta Group and Changshi Group each hold 15% of the shares..."

Facing hundreds of media reporters and flashing lights from time to time, Arthur didn't feel nervous at all. He kept a polite smile on his face from beginning to end, and spoke at a moderate speed, which made people listen very comfortably.

"...As we all know, the UK is the second largest in the world and the largest destination for international foreign investment in Europe. At the same time, the UK is the third most convenient country in Europe for "business convenience". In addition, the service awareness and efficiency of the UK government are well received by many Favored by investors. This is also one of the important factors for our coastal natural gas power plant to attract investors so quickly.

At the same time, the power generation business of our power plants is a very mature business with good prospects. We believe that the sale of part of the equity will accelerate the expansion of the development space of our coastal power plants.

I want to tell you the good news. Due to funding problems, the third phase of the construction project, which has been delayed for several years, has officially started, the funds have been in place, and the construction will break ground today. . .

Arthur's speech was very official, but the whole article was bragging about the excellence of the coastal power plant. Arthur even revealed the financial report and profit amount for 2009, which made the entertainment and gossip reporters in the press booth Hearing this, he couldn't laugh or cry, but the reporters on the financial page couldn't help shaking their heads and laughing, lamenting the young earl's marketing methods in their hearts.

"... Investing in railways and investing in new energy power stations will have completely different risk-benefit ratios, but in general, these infrastructure investments have a common feature, which is low risk and stable investment returns. And this Such investments also have the effect of resisting inflation.

Before choosing the investment target, we conducted detailed investigation and research, and concluded that the risk may be relatively high during the construction stage of this energy power station project, but as the project tends to be completed, the risk will also increase accordingly. the decline. Once the project is put into operation, the risk at this time is almost zero. The income is not reflected in the construction stage of the project, but it will start to increase once it is put into operation, and it will maintain a stable income all year round.

This is why we are optimistic about coastal power plants, and we are even more optimistic about its future development and earnings. . . "

As a representative of Quanta Group, Wu Qiang explained in Chinese the reasons for investing in coastal power plants, the basis and the prospect for the future.

"...The most critical thing is the rate of return and robustness of the invested project. Due to the stable rate of return of infrastructure assets, coastal natural gas power plants will not worry about finding a good buyer.

Historically, infrastructure funds, pension funds and sovereign wealth funds have all been interested in investing in UK energy infrastructure assets, such as the aforementioned potential buyers Macquarie Group, Canada Pension Plan Investment Board and Desert Sovereign Fund, etc. Investment demand has historically been strong.

This time our feldspar group was able to successfully become a shareholder of the coastal power plant amidst the competition from many competitors. I am personally very happy. is fundamental. . . "

The eldest son of the Muzi family, who was elegant and with a warm smile on his face, spoke calmly in front of hundreds of reporters.

Listening to the eldest son's words, Arthur smiled and looked at the other party. He had to say that the Muzi family chose him as the heir, and it was indeed the right choice.

The business talent cultivated and cultivated by the richest man in Muzi is indeed walking cautiously step by step according to the pace of the heir.

The market value is all fictitious, and the Muzi family came to the UK to "collect rent", they really have a certain foresight!

Because, as long as any country opens up the fields of telecommunications, energy, and infrastructure, I believe that all capitalists will definitely earn "broken blood" for these big cakes. After all, "rent collection" is the safest way to earn money!
