Through the wealth life

Chapter 403 Angry Thatcher

Thatcher was very angry after negotiating with the Shuaiya family and the heads of several local families. When he asked them if they were willing to acquire 16% of the shares of the telecom group at a price of US$50 billion, these big families began to shirk I got up and said I would go back and think about it.

Just kidding, the British economy is already in crisis, and their family business is not doing well. How can they get $16 billion in cash.This time, they just hope that the Li Group will shed more blood on this acquisition, and they have no plans to take over this group.

The telecommunications group also understands clearly that it is not enough to buy shares this time. If they want to operate well, they need to invest a sum of money in it, and it is not enough if they are less. They estimate that at least 3 million US dollars will be invested in it, which is enough to make They balk at it.

It is also impossible for the Shihuaiya family to slow down the Swire Group for a Xiangjiang subsidiary company, and they do not have the strength to take over the shares of the Telecom Group.

Thatcher said angrily: "Since you have no plans to acquire, why did you enter into the competition of the Telecom Group. Now that the Li Group has given up its plan to acquire the Telecom Group, you will take over here."

The heads of several big families quit on the spot, and one of them said: "Your Excellency, you can't buy and sell by force. The price we offer is never higher than that of the Li Group. No matter how we arrange it, we shouldn't We bought it."

"Didn't you ask the telecom group to consider that you are Chinese? Didn't you say that the acquisition by the Li Group would pose a threat to our national information security? Now that you are asked to acquire, why are you pushing back and forth?" Thatcher said.

Facing Thatcher who was full of anger, these few did not reply immediately. They knew that replying at this time would only add fuel to the fire, unless they were willing to eat the telecom group.

If the big families are really interested, they still have the ability to take over the shares of the Telecom Group, but they are not optimistic about the short-term profits of the Telecom Group, and they don't want to put huge amounts of money on this group.

Thatcher knew that if these people did not accept the Telecom Group, she would have nothing to do with them. After all, none of them had signed a contract, and they were just discussing intentions. Group, forcing the Li Group to raise the purchase price again and again.

Obviously, Li's Group no longer intends to play with everyone. These people really think Li's Group is a fool.Now Du Yuemei is obviously going to turn the tables. Li's Group, a telecommunications group, doesn't want it anymore. It's up to the airline to decide whether to approve or not. Li's Group has an indifferent attitude.

The key point is that she received the news that Li's Group is already the second largest shareholder of Swire Pacific, which means that among Cathay Pacific Airways, Li's Group can also earn a lot of income.

In terms of shares, Li's Group, Swire Group, and HSBC are the three major shareholders of Cathay Pacific. It is really possible that Li's Group no longer thinks about establishing an airline.

Du Yuemei flipped the table, and if these arguing people didn't take over the telecom group, her plan would be aborted, which would be a huge blow to the government she led.

Seeing that none of them made a sound, Thatcher said again: "What kind of behavior are you doing? If someone buys it, it will threaten our national security. You want to intervene. Now that they don't buy it, you don't want to take it over. You put What is our government doing?"

Jeff Shuaiya said: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, we are also doing this for the good of the country. Think about it, if the Li Group controls the Telecom Group, how can our country's information security be guaranteed? I think the Telecom Group is so important It is better for the government to continue to hold the enterprises, so that citizens can rest assured."

Thatcher became even angrier when she heard this. Isn't this the theory of the Labor Party?If you operate in this way, what else should you reform, and watch the British economy gradually sinking.And even if the telecommunications group is privatized, the government will supervise it. Could it really allow the Li Group to do whatever it wants.

Thatcher said: "Don't find those reasons to deal with me. These words were heard a lot when I was running for prime minister. These words are useless to me. I will continue to promote the privatization of public enterprises and promote the vitality of the British economy. , to drive the development of the British economy. Now let’s ask whether you will take over the telecom group.”

After thinking about it for a while, the big families are still unwilling to take over the telecom group. They have so much cash to invest in other industries casually, which is better than the telecom group.

Thatcher said: "Your behavior has seriously disrupted our economic market. I don't want you to appear in the process of privatizing local state-owned enterprises in the future. Our government will directly disqualify you from acquiring them."

These big families panicked immediately after hearing this. The government has many companies they are optimistic about. They hope to get a share of the pie in the future, but they are not willing to ruin it because of this.

One of the head of the family said: "Your Excellency, in terms of business, we are not the ones who violated the regulations. This is a problem with the senior management of the telecom group. Our bid has never been higher than that of the Li consortium, but the senior management is unwilling to deal with us. Li's consortium, waiting for the Li's consortium to raise prices, this is a typical violation of business ethics."

What can Thatcher say, she herself hopes that the price offered by the Li's consortium will be as high as possible. The senior executives of the telecom group have the same idea as her, so this situation occurs.

It's just that she didn't expect Du Yuemei to turn the tables and give up. She thought that the Li's consortium was determined to win the airline, and it didn't matter if they spent a little more money. Besides, they should be more anxious when they encountered obstacles in acquiring Cathay Pacific.The result was exactly the opposite of what I thought. The Li Group clearly told the British government this time that they didn't plan to continue playing. The airline would build it if it could, and forget it if it couldn't.

This time, not only these big families messed up, but also Thatcher.The failure of the privatization of the telecom group this time is very unfavorable to her future reforms, especially in the introduction of foreign capital.

Li's consortium's negotiations with the Telecom Group are not kept secret, there are many news reports, if Li's does not buy, and these big families do not take over the flowers.The feeling given to foreign capital is that these big families were arranged by the British government to raise the purchase price, and who would want to invest in them in England, which would be a great blow to the government's credibility.

Thatcher didn't say anything more to these family heads, and asked the staff to send them away, while she herself was thinking about how to deal with the next problem.

Now that the British economy has come to the point where it has to be reformed, many state-owned enterprises have become the burden of the government, and the government needs to invest funds every year to maintain their operation, which has brought considerable pressure on the government's finances.

The Jaguar test has achieved quite good results. Nowadays, the car matching companies in Coventry City rely on the Bentley Group, and they all have good performance, which has benefited the economic development of Coventry City. At that time, she was awarded a lifetime honorary title by the City of Coventry in recognition of her contribution to the City of Coventry by leading the Bentley Group.
