I am a nobleman in England
Chapter 421
After the IPO, what does the coast company want to do in the future?
This question is the most frequently asked question by Arthur. Arthur said frankly-"Attract good talents and acquire companies."
Successfully listed, it has become a power generation company with a market value of more than one billion.As a listed company, how the coastal company continues to create value, the areas that it may invest in in the future, and the companies that it invests in and acquires are all topics of most concern to the outside world.
Buyers are mostly financial talents, corporate executives, or members of wealthy families.The UK's most high-end newspaper "Financial Times" "Focus on Arthur Bolin's listing" series of reports has previously launched four articles, from Arthur Bolin's "acquisition of coastal power plants" to the listing of the equity structure of coastal power plants.
From the analysis of the expansion of the Arthur Boleyn power empire in the "outside" to the impact of the coastal power plant listing on the power stock market, four different dimensions have made a comprehensive and multi-angle analysis of the coastal power plant before and after the listing.
As the final piece of this series of reports, they set their sights farther, focusing on Arthur Boleyn’s future development focus, and focusing on companies that may be acquired by successful financing of coastal power plants in the future. It is listed one by one.
On March 18, the Coastal Power Plant officially landed on the London Stock Exchange and successfully raised 530 million pounds, making it the most prosperous IPO in the UK in recent times.On the first day of trading, the stock price rose sharply, closing price was 7.45 pounds, and the market value was once close to 2.6 billion US dollars, almost flashing the eyes of many people.
This also made Arthur laugh all day from ear to ear, and almost his face was stiff, and he kept muttering that everyone was willing to go public. Of course, Wu Qianghe of Quanta Group also had a stiff smile. The eldest son of Muzi's family, as for those company executives, is completely crazy!
At the celebratory reception that night, Taylor Swift, wearing a white diamond-encrusted large V-neck long skirt, accompanied Arthur with a smile, and attracted everyone's attention.
However, the investors and bankers who were present quickly surrounded Arthur. While celebrating, the first question everyone asked was surprisingly similar, which was related to the future development strategy of the Coast Company.
However, Arthur, who responded with a smile, did not reveal the specific future strategic layout.He said that what he will do in the future will also depend on what kind of companions he has, and he has left a word for everyone present to be more imaginative. Future expansion will not be limited to electricity, but will also have broader industry-wide expansion. .It will focus on the deployment of renewable energy.
Acquiring the British Grid?
Arthur smiled and asked, "Will it be sold?"
According to the crazy M&A plan rumored before the listing of coastal companies, the industry generally believes that the tide of mergers and acquisitions after the listing of coastal companies will begin soon.The ambition of this young man, Arthur Bolin, does not even focus entirely on the United Kingdom, which may also include overseas markets including the United States.
At the reception, it was really impossible to be forced by some big investors. As for the whereabouts of the funds raised, Arthur explained for the first time towards the end of the reception.
"I never speak big words. The acquisition plan before the company's listing is indeed just a vision for the future, but what I can guarantee is that, trust me, everyone will hear good news recently. I will not let me support me. Disappointed!"
With Arthur's remarks, all investors present were filled with unlimited imagination.This also allowed the coastal power plant's share price to continue to be pushed up on the second day of listing.
In the conference room of the starting point investment company in the City of London, I enjoyed the infinite gentleness of Taylor Swift, who was more excited because of his success, and was so excited, and Arthur, who was refreshed in happy events, sat with a smile on his face. In the first place of the meeting room, watching all the subordinates who are also full of joy in the meeting room, as well as the representatives of the two major shareholders, Quanta Wu Qiang and Muzi family eldest son, smiled happily.
"Hehe, I believe many people will be like me, having a sleepless night happily and excitedly."
"Hahaha..."
There was laughter from everyone in the conference room.
"Well, after a few months of busy work and anxious to get angry, the company has finally successfully gone public and the funds have been raised. After being happy, we should also start the plan."
Arthur spoke with high spirits, raised his hand to the secretary beside him, and distributed a document to everyone.
"I have disclosed to you my acquisition plan. The company was busy going public at the beginning, and I did not explain it in detail. This plan is the acquisition plan we will implement next."
Arthur shook the document in the air, and then continued: "Before this, I have arranged a negotiation team to communicate and negotiate with these companies in advance. My purpose of doing this is not only to save time. , But also to stimulate our stocks with this big advantage.
To be honest, we are a newly listed electric power company. In the financial market, this kind of traditional company is inherently unable to compare with those Internet-listed companies that speculate concepts.
Regardless of our current stock price rising all the way, it is just because of new stocks and our previous intention to hype the concept of acquisition.If it takes a long time and we still fail to produce results, the stock price will immediately be beaten back to its original shape. I think all of you in this room should be very clear about this, and you should not want to see it.
Therefore, our acquisition this time is to quickly and quickly let everyone, the financial market, investors, and speculators be surprised and shocked. Only in this way can we consolidate our already blown bubbles. Only by market value can investors believe that our stock price is directly proportional to the value of the company!"
Arthur’s sonorous and powerful words, everyone present nodded in agreement, and looked at Arthur’s handsome young face with scorching eyes. The courage of the young boss and the degree of control in his heart, really It is full of emotion.
"Angela, you can introduce it to everyone--" Arthur smiled and turned to look to the third person on the left, Angela in a black professional suit said.
"Okay, boss." Angela smiled and nodded, and then nodded confidently and gracefully with all the eyes that were directed at her, then said in a clear voice: "According to the boss's intention and decision, we have successively investigated the possession of 194 MW, 54 turbine generators domestic wind farms on the Lincolnshire coast, 26 MW wind farms in Foudland Canyon in Aberdeenshire and green offshore wind power in Edinburgh.
These three wind power companies are all affiliated to Centric Group, the largest natural gas supplier in the UK. The current negotiation result with each other is that the acquisition transaction value is 423 million pounds, and the total premium of Centric Group is 115 million pounds, forming 70 million pounds. Sterling investment profit.
The existing energy purchase contract indicates that by 2024, Centric Group needs to purchase 100% of the wind power plant's power generation and 50% renewable energy license obligations. Centric Group will continue to provide the operation of its projects.Maintenance support until March 2017.
For us, the field of wind power provides relatively small, inflation-related, long-term returns, as well as risk-adjustable and attractive returns..."
Following Angela's explanation, everyone in the conference room listened carefully, and began to look through the documents in their hands for a more detailed understanding.
