Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

"Sir Carter, according to the current international situation, Iran is acting recklessly, the Middle East has been unstable, and oil prices are expected to be higher and higher in the future. If the United Kingdom wants to recover its economy, it must get rid of its dependence on Middle East oil. The industry is about to rise again, congratulations!"

After chatting with Duke Carter Howard for a while at Rolls-Royce Motors, Xia Yu suddenly sighed with emotion.

Congrats to him because the Howard family is involved in the oil industry and holds a considerable stake in a major oil company in the British North Sea.

It can be said that the Howard family is also part of the oil interest group, and he will support the Conservative Party, in addition to his personal relationship with Margaret Thatcher, there are also factors in this aspect.

Carter Howard glanced at Xia Yu, and he could hear the hidden meaning in Xia Yu's words.

It seems that Xia Yu didn't know where he got the news that the Conservative government was about to take action against BP.

The purpose of Xia Yu's invitation to him tonight was obvious.

It is coveting the equity of British National Petroleum Corporation, and wants to achieve his goal through his line.

With preparation in his heart, Duke Carter Howard was in no hurry. He said something lightly and continued to drink tea.

"It's hard to say, most of the benefits are taken by BP, and even if the oil market expands, my earnings will not rise much."

If you want to ask others, you must have an attitude of asking for others, so Xia Yu directly pointed out: "Sir Carter, BP can only hold the advantage for more than a month at most, and when it loses the special care of the government, it will definitely not be able to compete with the old brand. oil companies."

"I know that Margaret's cabinet is going to start the privatization process of BP, and will take out a lot of equity at one time. Maybe someone like you who owns an oil company may not be interested."

"After hearing what Chancellor Geoffrey Howie said today, I'm interested in a BP stake and I've always had a big investment in the UK, and I've gone along with the competition."

"It's just that I'm not a pure British after all, and I will inevitably encounter special targets in the process of competition, so I want to ask you to do me a favor."

After speaking, Xia Yu looked at Duke Carter Howard quietly.

I saw him put down the teacup and looked at Xia Yu with a fixed gaze, as if he wanted to observe something.

For a long time, he seemed to think that Xia Yu was speaking from his heart, Duke Carter Howard did not directly refuse, but said with a light smile: "You are very aware of the situation you may face, and I can tell you clearly that if you participate in the competition , will definitely be deliberately targeted to clean up, the color is not the point, the point is that you are neither a pure British, nor have the strength of Mobil and Exxon."

"I get it, so I just need a relatively level playing field, which is in the best interest of the British people, isn't it?"

"And I only need a tiny bit of equity, and it doesn't have much impact on anyone."

Xia Yu said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Duke Carter Howard fell silent. He seemed to be considering whether to help Xia Yu.

And Xia Yu quietly waited for his reply and possible conditions.

But the result surprised Xia Yu. After thinking for a minute, Duke Carter Howard did not put forward any conditions, and agreed to help him: "You are good friends with Henry and Elena, and I will help with this. "

"But there is a more subtle way. The two of us set up an investment company. The investment company will compete in the name of the Howard family. How many shares are acquired at that time will be split internally according to the proportion of the investment company, and the investment company will be divided. The shareholding ratio will be discussed later.”

"I suggest you go to Prime Minister Margaret first. She has a good impression of you. Let her know that your competitive bargaining chip is with me, which will be more helpful to us."

Xia Yu said gratefully: "I understand, thank you for your help!"

"As I said, you are a friend of the Howard family!"

Duke Carter Howard said with a light smile.

Xia Yu smiled and agreed: "Yes, this is my honor!"

Even though he said that, Xia Yu knew in his heart that it was because his strength was enough to attract Duke Carter Howard's attention, otherwise he wouldn't be able to help even if he wanted to.

And this busyness is indeed a big effort for Duke Carter Howard. He can do nothing at all. The Howard family's face is enough to send Xia Yu in.

No one would wipe the Howard family's face for such a trivial matter, the gain outweighed the loss!

The next day, Xia Yu immediately asked George Berkeley to arrange for a cooperation plan, and at the same time collected information on BP.

After instructing this matter, Xia Yu sent an application to the British cabinet to meet with Prime Minister Margaret. I believe that Margaret will arrange a time to meet him after receiving the report.

This is the difference between capitalist countries. Capital is closely related to the government and society. It is not difficult for capitalists to meet the head of a country. Of course, the premise is that capitalists have some knowledge in their hearts and know whether they are qualified.

There is no doubt that Xia Yu is definitely qualified!

At 3:30 p.m. the next day, Xia Yu went to No. 10 Downing Street and stayed there for about ten minutes. When he came out, he looked calm, obviously in a good mood.

He had promised Margaret to invest 500 million pounds in the UK, and now he has achieved a large part, and the inflow capital that can be found exceeds 300 million pounds, which proves that Xia Yu's words count.

Therefore, Margaret was very friendly to Xia Yu and welcomed Xia Yu's desire to invest in the British oil industry.

The government obstacles were removed, and the competitive bargaining chips were also allowed to be transferred to the Howard family. Xia Yu was finally relieved.

The next step is to reach a cooperation agreement with Duke Carter Howard as soon as possible.

After a few days, the Bright Fund acquired more equity in the two companies.

Today, Bright Fund holds 58.7% of Sotheby's Auction House, an increase of 9.5% from a few days ago. Except for 1.2% of these shares, which were acquired from the market, the rest were bought from small shareholders.

The only major obstacle now is the original Sotheby’s largest shareholder, the chairman who holds 23.7% of the shares.

But this person has no room for resistance in the face of the absolute equity of Bright Fund, let alone other small shareholders.

In addition, it also owns a 33.5% stake in Eskenazy Co., Ltd., which has increased by 2.9% in a few days, and it is difficult to acquire it later.

Faced with this situation, Xia Yu knew there was no need to wait any longer, it was time to act!

"George, send someone to find the largest shareholder of Sotheby's Auction House, buy the equity in his hands, first and then soldiers, if he does not agree to sell, directly expose the equity and threaten him, if not, hold a board of directors, remove him from his position, and dilute him. equity.”

"The equity of Eskenazy Co., Ltd. was concentrated in the company's hands, and it was announced to the public to issue a takeover offer to them!"

After Xia Yu checked the situation, he immediately gave orders to George Berkeley in the studio.

The two companies use two methods.

Sotheby's auction house is to be acquired. If it can be resolved peacefully, it is best to avoid forced acquisition, which will cause the stock price to rise and spend more money.

It will only be forced unless it is compelled to do so.

As for Eskenazy Co., Ltd., Xia Yu doesn't like it, and uses it as a bargaining chip. Of course, the stock price can't fall any more, and the higher the price, the better. Therefore, it is necessary to launch an attack with great fanfare. The bigger the power, the better. Strive for more initiative.

"Okay, I'll act now!"

George Berkeley took action immediately after receiving the order.

In an hour, the equity information of Eskenazi Co., Ltd. was updated, and Bright Fund became the second largest shareholder with 33.5% of the equity, second only to the Eskenazi family with 53.8%.

And after the disclosure of the equity information, he initiated an invitation to Eskenazy Co., Ltd. as soon as possible.

The fading popularity of Eskenazy Ltd once again attracted a lot of media attention.
