Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

Chapter five hundred and forty-ninth launch acquisition

In the next few days, Xia Yu took the time to visit Rongyehang Co., Ltd. and found out that Ye Huanrong was indeed the one who could become the richest Chinese in the UK in future generations. Rongyehang developed rapidly under his management.

After the inspection, at the repeated request of Ye Huanrong, Xia Yu put forward many forward-looking suggestions based on the current situation of Rongye Industry, and Ye Huanrong said on the spot that he would take it carefully.

Xia Yu believes that as long as Ye Huanrong really develops in the direction he said, the development speed of Rongye Industry will definitely go to a new level!

At the same time, the acquisition of the "Daily Telegraph" was finally completed. The purchase of the newspaper with a daily circulation of 1.6 million copies for 13 million pounds was a great value in Xia Yu's opinion!

Converted into Hong Kong dollars, it is only a little over 1.1 billion. You must know that Ming Pao, which has a daily circulation of more than 100,000 copies, is now worth more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars, and its daily circulation is more than ten times that of Ming Pao. The Daily Telegraph, the actual value multiple will only be higher, but the price it buys now is less than ten times that of Ming Pao.

It can only be said that the media in the whole of Europe is at a low point right now. If the media also broke out in the 1980s, let alone 13 million pounds, 30 million pounds may not be bought!

This deal is worth it!

If it weren't for the influence and obstacles of other factors, Xia Yu would have liked to take this opportunity to acquire all the major British newspapers and become a British media tycoon!

But this is just thinking about it now, the reality is impossible.

The "Daily Telegraph" was acquired. Xia Yu also asked George Berkeley to come forward to appease the management, and then let the company's general manager come to the Bright Fund. After a detailed discussion, the general manager went back to run the newspaper with peace of mind.

On the other hand, the acquisition team of Rolls-Royce Motors was formed, and the M\u0026A strategy and plan were also completed.

As for the acquisition consultant, considering the special background of Rolls-Royce Motor Company, after analysis by the acquisition team, Lloyds Bank, one of the four largest private banks in the UK, was finally selected as the acquisition consultant.

In fact, there were two options at the beginning, namely HSBC Holdings and Lloyds Bank. These two major banks are controlled by major ancient families in the United Kingdom, and the network behind them covers the whole of the United Kingdom.

But although Lloyds Bank ranks last among the four top private banks in the UK and is far less powerful than HSBC Holdings, HSBC Holdings has a worse background than Lloyds Bank.

The most important thing is that Xia Yu learned from Elena that the Howard family is actually one of the major shareholders of Lloyds Bank, and their shareholding ratio is in the top three.

The shareholding ratio of the Duke family, Howard, is not ranked first, which shows that the political energy behind Lloyds Bank is definitely not small.

Today, Lloyds Bank is a little less developed. Instead, it will be more dedicated to Bright Fund's acquisition of Rolls-Royce Motor Company, which will not only increase revenue, but also use this to demonstrate its strength and attract more business.

In addition to identifying the acquisition consultant as Lloyds Bank, in order to increase the success rate, the legal and tax consultants still hired the largest public accounting firm in the UK.

The acquisition team and two major consultants have formed a huge and luxurious acquisition lineup, which reflects Xia Yu's firm determination.

After preparations were made, under the order of Xia Yu, George Berkeley issued an offer to Rolls-Royce Group for the first time, and formally proposed to acquire its Rolls-Royce Motor Company.

The unprepared Rolls-Royce Group was suddenly stunned. Frank Richard, the group's executive president, was an old man after all. He directly rejected the first offer of the Bright Fund, and turned around and ordered Ren to investigate the details of the Bright Fund immediately. And the situation of the acquisition team.

After all, Rolls-Royce Group is a state-owned enterprise with a background in the British defense equipment sector.

It's easy to investigate some information in the UK, not to mention that the Bright Fund has only exposed a small part of Xia Yu's equity in addition to the offshore equity disposal, and other information is clearly displayed. Because there is no deliberate publicity, ordinary people It's hard to know, but as long as someone with strength investigates, it's basically clear.

Soon, a series of information from the Bright Fund was on the table of Frank Richard, CEO of Rolls-Royce Group.

Frank Richard is an elite specially hired by the British Defense Equipment Group to serve as the CEO of Rolls-Royce Group. logistic company.

In 1971, Rolls-Royce Group began to develop a unique three-rotor RB211 engine. Due to the relatively new three-rotor technology and the lack of composite fan technology of Rolls-Royce Group, the RB211 engine was launched in a hurry. The project development cycle was delayed for too long, and eventually the financial resources of the Rolls-Royce Group could not support it. It had to be nationalized by the British government and allocated to the British Defense Equipment Group.

And Frank Richard was discovered by the British government to put out the fire at such a critical moment, and he did not disappoint the British government.

With the intervention of the government, the Rolls-Royce Group was successfully split into two companies, the automobile and aero engine companies, and the Rolls-Royce Aero Engine Company was restored to life.

But unfortunately, after being tossed for six or seven years, the Rolls-Royce Motor Company was still in a state of failure, which seriously dragged the group back. Frank Richard exhausted his means, but in the end he gave up and gave up on it.

Fortunately, the vital aero-engines were doing well under his stewardship, so even if Rolls-Royce Motor Cars underperformed, he was still trusted by the government.

In fact, it is not that he never thought of selling Rolls-Royce Motor Company to lighten the burden on the group, and then devote himself wholeheartedly to the field of aero-engines.

However, the British economy was in recession, and the auto industry needed to invest a lot of money. Rolls-Royce Motor Company was in a quagmire. No one was interested, and he had no choice.

Now that the Bright Fund has sent an offer to buy, Frank Richard is very happy to be honest.

But he didn't know the situation of the Bright Fund, and he also knew that the first offer was definitely the lowest, even if he wanted to sell the company, he would have to sell at a high price, so he decisively rejected the offer and started a psychological war.

After reading the information, Frank Richard frowned, his expression a little tangled.

Because the data shows that the Bright Fund has been offshored, and it is a Chinese from Xiangjiang who holds 20% of the shares. The analysis said that the Bright Fund may be wholly-owned by it, but it is also possible that he is only an agent on the surface. people.

This unknown background, or a part of the Hong Kong Chinese background that has already been revealed, made Frank Richard's heart sink.

Even though he has given up on Rolls-Royce Motor Company in his heart, he also knows whether the company will sell or not.

With the pride of those officials, it is too difficult for them to sell Rolls-Royce Motor Company, one of the prides of Britain, to a yellow race from the colony!

Frank Richard sighed and continued to look down.

When he saw that the acquisition advisor was Lloyds Bank, and the legal and tax advisor was a British public accountant firm, Frank Richard's eyes lit up again, and he couldn't help but say: "If Lloyds has chosen two good advisors, If the bank can fully cooperate, the probability of success should be very high.”

"and many more!"

"Elena Howard, one of the core figures of the acquisition team, turned out to be the daughter of Duke Carter Howard?!"

Seeing this information, Frank Richard was first shocked, then frowned and fell into contemplation.

Elena Howard is the daughter of Duke Carter, and she joined the Bright Foundation before graduating from college. It's fine if she doesn't join the family business, but she actually joined this company. What is the reason behind it?

A flash of light flashed in Frank Richard's mind, he quickly turned back to the front, and saw the unknown background of the Bright Fund, and a thought popped into Frank Richard's mind: "Could it be that Duke Carter Howard is behind the Bright Fund?"

"But it's not right. If Duke Carter Howard really wants to buy Rolls-Royce Motor Company and use his family business to come forward, as long as the price is right, I believe the government will definitely welcome it. There is no need to be so troublesome. "

Frank Richard frowned, he couldn't figure it out, his brain hurt, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

"Never mind, leave this issue to the top to deal with. If the Bright Fund is really Duke Carter Howard, he will definitely open up the relationship with the government."

"If you don't open up the relationship, it will prove that it is not!"

"Anyway, although I want to get rid of this burden, I only have the right to advise."

"If I really want to sell Rolls-Royce Motor Company in the end, my duty is to sell the car company as high as possible to get more money for the engine company!"

After thinking about it, Frank Richard immediately sorted out the material from beginning to end and reported it to the British Defense Equipment Group.

Soon, the British Defense Equipment Group issued an order to Frank Richard to temporarily spend with the Bright Fund, depending on the situation.

Frank Richard understood the meaning of this order, so when the Bright Fund made the second offer, he did not refuse, but chose to approach it.

But in the face of the attack of the Bright Fund's acquisition team, Frank Richard slipped like an old loach, and his attitude was always blurred, which disappointed George Berkeley and others.

Faced with this situation, George Berkeley joined two major acquisition consultants and opened an internal analysis meeting.

After the meeting, Lloyds Bank immediately mobilized people to understand the specific situation and prepared to lobby for the actual situation.
