I am a nobleman in England

"... At present, the British natural gas market is experiencing fuel surplus and oversupply. Natural gas contract prices have fallen across the board. This winter, the profits of our power plants will increase significantly."

After the power plant’s CEO, Ke Linna, finished the summary, Chong Arthur nodded slightly.

Arthur smiled and motioned to the other party to continue the meeting. 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.

"Corinna, what new developments are there regarding financing?"

As soon as he sat down, Arthur asked what he was most concerned about. Prior to this, the Bristol Coastal Natural Gas Power Plant decided to sell part of its equity and carry out the third phase of the project financing. He had already released the news as he ordered. out.

Although the valuation of the power plant was much higher at the time of the acquisition, and almost reached the point where the power plant was demanding 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 Tian Dynasty, and the Feldspar Group controlled by the Muzi family of Herijiang who surprised Arthur are all very interested in this part of the equity of the coastal power plant.

"The focal issue that hinders 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. In this regard, they believe that we are not sincere. The Maple Leaf Country’s pension plan investment committee has suspended its Negotiation.

At present, the negotiations with the Quanta Group and the Feldspar Group of the Celestial Dynasty are still in a stalemate. Because Christmas is approaching, the negotiations are now in a suspended state."Corinna reported helplessly.

To be honest, the negotiation has reached the current situation. I really can’t blame them for the incompetence of their subordinates. The key is to run into a boss who is desperate for money, giving them too little room for maneuvering in the negotiation. The acquisition of two companies is already very difficult, mainly because the other two companies really want to join.

Although Arthur was a little surprised that the Quanta Group of the Celestial Dynasty and the Feldstone Group of the Muzi family were able to persist until now, he was able to understand the true purpose of the other party, especially the Quanta Group. The other party was undoubtedly a drunkard.

Don’t think that most developed countries, especially the relevant countries in Europe, are currently caught in a vicious circle. Affected by the global financial crisis, they have reduced international investment, streamlined and divested their international assets. It creates opportunities for Chinese companies to go global.

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

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

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

Perhaps the coastal power plant in Arthur’s hands is indeed a good 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 already had some bubbles. , And even so, the two companies still insist on becoming shareholders of the power plant, which shows that the other side is not only for commercial interests.

Stepping stone, springboard...

Arthur shook his head and laughed. He really didn't care about the other party's true purpose. For him, as long as the other party could come up with the money, he didn't care at all as to whether the money had other colors.

Looking at the young boss who suddenly shook their heads and laughed, Corinna and Angela looked at each other. Angela frowned and said, "Boss, if we really want to promote the listing of the coastal power plant as soon as possible, we really need to Complete the financing as soon as possible and introduce new shareholders. Moreover, the longer the time delays, the changes in the external environment will be more detrimental to our advantages!"

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

"Under the shadow of the full-scale outbreak of the European debt crisis, the British economy is currently on the verge of recession while facing the worst deficit burden since World War II.

Moreover, dragged down by the European debt crisis, many European countries are currently trying to increase income and reduce expenditure through the privatization of assets.According to my understanding, in addition to the United Kingdom, more than a dozen countries, including Greece and Spain, are preparing to sell or lease their assets to get rid of their debt burden.

The assets to be sold include Guoying Energy Company, aviation and subway service system.In the next two years, Europe's "big auction" of assets will likely experience unprecedented misery.

Among them, Greece is undoubtedly the member of the Eurozone with the most "dumping goods".According to Greece's privatization plan to be launched 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 guo yingbocai company, natural gas company, railway company, and even guo defense equipment company, mining and metallurgical company, Greek post bank, Greek agricultural bank, Greek power company, Greek vehicle company, Greek telecommunication company, Greece International Airport and 39 regional airports, Piraeus Port, Thessaloniki Port, Athens Water Supply Company, etc..."

Arthur was stunned, this is really crazy!Greece is just about packaging and selling the entire country!

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

To be honest, Angela was also a little anxious, and she did not expect that the situation would turn into this situation. Greece was completely prepared to start the big sale mode. If you want to proceed smoothly according to the original plan, do not rush. Time is not over.

And while Arthur was extremely depressed, he was also a little panicked. He originally thought that his assets were a hot commodity. Now I know that it will not be long before the whole of Europe will become a super hypermarket. This little thing of him will be true. No one is interested anymore...

"In this way, Corinna, you immediately inform the negotiators of the Quanta Group of the Celestial Kingdom and the Feldspar Group of the Herijiang Group that they will restart the negotiations tomorrow morning. The assets will be valued at 600 million pounds and 15% of each Talk about the new plan of the share cap.

Strive to initial an agreement before Christmas and tell them that we are introducing shareholders in preparation for listing. 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 was racing against time to pull people aboard.

Angela and Corinna were slightly surprised when they heard the boss’s decision, but did not refute the boss’s decision. Then they heard Arthur continue: “Tell all the employees that they can estimate their total assets of 400 million pounds. It is worth buying the original shares of the power plant, only 10% of the share, this is my new boss, before the company's shareholding system reform, the only benefit that can be given to them, I hope to grasp it!"
