Chapter 830 Xingyuan Mining Company
Chapter 830 Xingyuan Mining Company
On the next morning, Li Guangyu and Cao Weiqing took a few children to visit Paris.
In the past few years, since Cao Weiqing married him, he has not gone out for a trip. Li Guangyu also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to visit several Western European countries, and the whole family also traveled around to see different scenery.
Li Guangyu was in a good mood and was traveling in Paris with his family, but the British government was a little troubled.
Regarding the movements of Li Guangyu and his party in Paris, the top management in England paid close attention to them, especially Li Guangyu's meeting with Chirac, which made them feel tremendous pressure.
They are very worried that the investment focus of the Lee Consortium in Western Europe will shift from England to France, and they will suffer great losses in England, especially during this period, when England needs a lot of money to enter, and at this time the Lee Consortium suddenly invests heavily France's reluctance to choose England would be a huge blow to their ability to attract foreign capital.
On the morning of the 17th, the British Prime Minister personally invited Du Yuemei to the Prime Minister's Office to discuss some issues.
Since the acquisition of Jaguar, in the past few years, Du Yuemei and the Prime Minister of England have maintained a very good personal relationship, but when it comes to their respective interests, the two don't care how good their relationship is usually.
In the reception area of the prime minister's office, the prime minister said to Du Yuemei: "Ms. Du, we have known each other for many years, and our government has always supported the development of the industries under your Li's consortium. It is more suitable for your development."
Du Yuemei is not in a hurry now, she is very clear that the series of actions of Li Guangyu and the senior management of the consortium in Paris will make the British government feel uneasy.
Du Yuemei was also not very happy about the more than half a year of negotiations. In fact, it dragged on for so long that she didn't even have time for a honeymoon trip.
Although she didn't care much about it herself, it was still not something that made her happy.
As for the government's support for the development of the Li's consortium, this is even more nonsense. The British government's greatest support for the Li's consortium is that it did not intentionally trouble the Li's consortium.
In many industries, if the Li Family Consortium wants to enter, they have to negotiate conditions with them and meet some requirements of the British government. Only when the Li Family Consortium is present can they enter this industry.
For example, airlines a few years ago, such as the establishment of Tianyu Bank, such as the current right to issue banknotes in Hong Kong dollars.
Du Yuemei said: "Madam, our group under the Li Group has always attached great importance to the British market, and also intends to make London our key investment focus. Not long ago, our senior management was still thinking about building a Bentley Building in London to serve as our Li's Enterprise Western Europe Headquarters."
At present, many groups under the Li's consortium have their own group headquarters buildings. As the president of Bentley Group, Du Yuemei naturally hopes to build a headquarters building named after the group.
The construction of this building has been approved by Li Guangyu, and this will also become a bargaining chip for them to obtain the right to issue banknotes in Hong Kong dollars.
The Prime Minister is very clear about the situation of the Lee Consortium. Now there are many headquarters buildings under the Lee Consortium. The Oriental Building in Taipei is under construction, which belongs to the Oriental Semiconductor Group.The mainland is currently using the Pengyu Group headquarters building, and the Xingyue Building in Tokyo will also be completed, and the Xinghong Building in Los Angeles also has drawings.
There is also a similar plan in Singapore, but there is no headquarters of Li's group in Singapore, so the name of the building has not yet been determined.
Bentley Group is a very important group of Li's consortium, and Li's consortium naturally planned to establish a group headquarters.
It's just that regardless of whether the headquarters of Xiangjiang Group or other regional headquarters are ready for use or are under rapid construction, only the building of the headquarters of Bentley Group is still on the design drawings, and there is no sign of starting construction.
The Prime Minister knew the reason for this. The main reason why the construction of the Bentley Building was delayed was because of the issue of the right to issue banknotes in Hong Kong dollars. If there is no agreement on this aspect, the Bentley Building will not be put into construction.
The Prime Minister is very clear that there is not much time for this. If this continues to drag on, it will be very detrimental to the government. She needs to make a quick cut and get rid of some companies that have seriously dragged down the government's finances, so as to change the current situation.
Once the economic situation continues like this, her domestic approval rating will continue to decline, which will be very unfavorable to her.
In the next few hours, the prime minister and Du Yuemei carefully discussed some conditions. This time, the British government made a very big concession, and the sincerity of cooperation was much greater than before.
Du Yuemei also patiently negotiated with the Prime Minister, hoping to get to the bottom line of the British government.
At around six o'clock in the evening, Li Guangyu received a call from Du Yuemei, reporting to him in detail the results of today's discussions with the Prime Minister.
Li Guangyu was very happy to hear that, and he was very satisfied with the result of this discussion. It can be said that the British government is quite sincere.
Even if Li Guangyu gave up all the shares of the British Telecom Group, there would be no problem with the right to issue banknotes in Hong Kong dollars.
And Li Guangyu is going to invest one billion US dollars to build the Bentley Building, and the Bentley Group will inject one billion US dollars for acquisitions, and Hengyu Supermarket Group will enter on a large scale.
The key point is to ask Li's consortium to acquire Xingyuan Mining Company. This company is currently not profitable, with an estimated market value of 35 billion U.S. dollars and several mines in Australia.
Such a valuation is reasonable based on the amount of reserves explored. If the British government hadn't prepared a large number of privatization reforms for state-owned enterprises, the company probably wouldn't let it out.
Although it is a bit big to buy this mining company, with Li Guangyu's strength, there is no problem.
Besides, Li Guangyu knew that the price of iron ore would rise in a few years, so he won't suffer a loss in taking over this mining company now.
Li Guangyu said to Du Yuemei: "You continue to communicate with the Prime Minister to ensure that after we acquire this company, the employees of the company will not go on strike. At the same time, we have no obligation to ensure that no employee will be fired."
Now Li Guangyu was worried that the employees of the mining company would learn from those in the coal industry, and that it would be a big trouble for him to acquire this company, so he didn't want to ask for trouble.
In fact, if necessary, he would prefer to build a new energy and mineral group by himself. He knows that there are several large mines in Western Australia. When the time comes, he will recruit the Xiangjiang consortium, the Fujiwara family, the Sumitomo family, the California consortium, and the Baodao family. Entering there, with these forces, he didn't worry about what would happen there.
However, it is also beneficial to acquire this company now. Xingyuan Mining Company is registered in England, and Australia and England belong to the Commonwealth of Nations. It will be more convenient for this company to develop in Australia, which can save him a lot of trouble in this regard.
Du Yuemei immediately replied: "Li Sheng, I have already communicated with the prime minister about this, they will arrange personnel to do this work well, and they will not force us to keep all employees, but the prime minister expects us , try to keep them working in the company.”
Li Guangyu has no objection to this. After all, the company also needs these people to keep running. If I can work with peace of mind, Li Guangyu will naturally not fire the employees.
