I am a nobleman in England
Chapter 384 Arthur's Smoke Bomb
After many days, Arthur, Wu Qiang and Muzi got together again. The atmosphere between them was naturally relaxed and harmonious. Especially Wu Qiang, who warmly hosted Arthur in the capital, laughed happily when they met. A warm hug.
When seeing sister Zhilin accompanied by Arthur, Wu Qiang and Elder Muzi looked at each other knowingly and smiled. After shaking hands with the elegant and gentle sister Zhilin, Wu Qiang did not forget to tease Arthur.
"Your Excellency Arthur, I finally know where your love for the heaven comes from."
"Haha..."
Muzi laughed very cooperatively, while Arthur shook his head and laughed, not paying attention to Wu Qiang's ridicule, and helped Zhilin take off the red windbreaker outside and put it aside, wearing a black slim dress with a pair of knee-high black boots. My sister Zhilin sat down gracefully.
After Arthur and Wu Qiang and Muzi were seated together, they smiled and said: "There is no way. I went to the celestial dynasty once, and then I knew what is called a variety of styles and exotic styles. It is really charming and intoxicating. Since ba!"
"Hahaha..."
"Haha, you, you..."
Both Mr. Muzi and Wu Qiang laughed heartily. Originally, sister Zhilin, who had blinked a pair of big eyes and smiled, was a little unidentified. Seeing the smiles of the three men and the meaningful laughter, she understood. Arthur's words liked it. Ruddy Bai's cheeks turned red, and he nodded slightly, and secretly stretched out his hand and gave Arthur a hard hit.
Then she sat quietly with a very elegant smile, listening to the conversation of the three people, playing her "vase" role very peacefully. I have to say that sister Zhilin is really a very smart woman.
Regarding being qia, Arthur completely ignored him, but turned to glance at the more feminine sister Zhilin’s beautiful face, and then laughed with Wu Qiang and Muzi, "Let’s serve first, let’s Talk while eating."
Wu Qiang and Muzi nodded with a smile. To tell the truth, getting along with the earl from the veteran British noble family, Arthur, is really very relaxed and comfortable for them, without the British stereotypes. The sense of formality is like getting along with the heavenly people, and these feelings are especially remarkable for Wu Qiang.
Soon, the restaurant delivered a delicious dinner. Arthur picked up the red wine glass and Wu Qiang. The Muzi family touched the glass. After taking a sip of red wine, he started talking about business.
"The two should have received the corporate listing briefing issued by the company. Do you have any comments on this?"
Wu Qiang and the old man looked at each other. After smiling, Wu Qiang smiled and shook his head and said: "The listing of the coastal power plant is naturally a great thing that everyone is happy to see. I don’t have the slightest opinion here, and if there is any need , I am willing to cooperate fully!"
"My opinion is the same. If we can successfully go public so quickly, then we should really thank you for allowing our investment to see the benefits so soon." The old man also smiled very elegantly.
"Hehe, thank you, don’t have to, don’t talk about me behind your back, just selling your shares was too dark..."
"Haha. You still have the humor as always."
"Hehe, let alone, what you sell is really not cheap..."
This time, including sister Zhilin, all four laughed, and sister Zhilin looked at Arthur, who was confident and calm, talking and laughing, and her beautiful eyes were full of love.
"Hehe, don't worry, as long as you go public, you will make a lot of money. Inviting you two tonight is mainly for one thing. For the board of directors tomorrow, I hope you can stand on the same line as me.
As Arthur cut the beef on the plate with a knife and fork, he smiled and looked up at the opposite person and said.
"Representatives of ZF, will you attend the board of directors tomorrow?" Wu Qiang and the old man looked at each other and asked with a frown.
Both of them knew very well that Arthur was an absolute controlling shareholder. As long as he was willing, he could make his own decisions without going through them at all. Although in that case, Arthur would appear to be too strong for listed companies. In other words, there may be some negative effects.
Especially on the board of directors where the zf representative participates, if Arthur is too strong and does not care about the opinions of other shareholders, the negative impact will be even greater.
You know, although the UK's public utilities are mainly privately owned, ZF has gold stocks.
Especially for key areas such as power companies and energy companies, British ZF guarantees ZF's right to speak in core companies in the form of "golden shares", and any holdings of more than 15% need to be approved by the minister.Depending on the form of the company, some "golden shares" will always exist in the company to maintain the company's state-owned share to ensure national interests.
Unfortunately, when the Coastal Power Plant was acquired by Arthur, when zf sold its shares, it retained the gold shares. It was of no use on weekdays. However, zf will appear in major events such as equity changes, company listings, and mergers and acquisitions. .
"Yes, gold stocks, how can they not appear in such a major event as going public? I think Victor should be no stranger to this." Arthur smiled and looked at the eldest son.
You must know that since 2000, Muzi’s family has been “testing the waters” in the UK, such as developing real estate and acquiring the fourth largest telecommunications company ThreeUK at a price of 3.6 billion pounds. The telecommunications company is an important asset. Will not be missing the figure of zf.
Elder Muzi stretched out his hand and pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, smiled and nodded and said, "They have no reason to oppose the company's listing, do they?"
"Haha, even if they object, shall we not be listed?" Arthur shook his head and laughed, and continued: "What I want is everyone's joy... Wu, is that correct?"
"Hehe, very correct, your Chinese is getting better and better!" Wu Qiang smiled.
"The key to learning a language is to have a language environment. You have to speak often, practice in your daily life, and integrate into your life to make progress!" Arthur smiled and glanced at the gentle, gentle sister Zhilin. Said.
"Haha..." Wu Qiang and the eldest son shook their heads and chuckled slightly. Seriously, when they came into contact with Arthur, the British nobleman, they really felt a little weird. At the same time, they were very kind, honestly, able to live in a foreign country. It is also a blessing to find such a partner.
"By the way, Your Excellency Arthur, I saw the acquisition plan after financing from the IPO briefing. Is it serious that the ultimate goal is the plan to acquire British Electricity?"
When he heard Wu Qiang asking this question, although Grandpa Muzi didn't change his face and covered it up very well, Arthur still noticed some changes in the other party.
In this regard, Arthur had already expected it. If his memory did not deviate, Muzi's first major move after a decade of silence in the British market was the completion of the acquisition of British electricity.
But now, Arthur has thrown out his plan early. It seems that he is not afraid that others will know it. He also trumpets the sponsors and brokerages, just to let everyone know his ambitions, regardless of whether the acquisition can be completed or not. , However, the cow must be blown out first.
As for the possibility of a collision with Muzi's acquisition plan, Arthur didn't care, because he knew from the beginning that if he ran into a consortium like Muzi's, he had no hope of winning.
Seeing the reaction of the eldest son, Arthur couldn't help feeling amused, hoping that his smoke bomb could fool everyone.
As for the collision of the acquisition target, the Muzi son naturally did not care about having a small opponent like Arthur Bolin. After all, the two sides are not at the same level. If they really want to become bidding opponents, the only situation is that their Muzi family will treat Ya Se bullied to death.
To be honest, he did feel Arthur's ambition after seeing the listing briefing, and he did not expect that the other party's layout was somewhat similar to theirs.
Although Arthur can be despised in terms of funds and power, he cannot be taken lightly and ignored the courage and ability of the young earl. Therefore, the prince Muzi reported to the group board of directors after seeing the listing briefing, hoping that the board can speed up the decision-making process.
