Chapter 908 Privatization Trend

As the special plane landed at the Paris International Airport, Li Guangyu led many senior executives of the group to Paris again after two years.

Gu Zhengsheng, who was in charge of Western European affairs, had already come here, and today he personally led the caravan from Regal Hotel to the airport to welcome Li Guangyu and others.

On the car back to the hotel, Gu Zhengsheng reported to Li Guangyu some of the current situation in Western Europe,
Gu Zhengsheng said: "Li Sheng, at present, I think England is more suitable for investment than France. It has been carrying out nationalization of private enterprises in the past few years. Although Chirac is a staunch supporter and executive of privatization. However, he is under a lot of pressure. At present, there are not many companies and groups they have proposed for privatization that are suitable for our Li's consortium.

On the contrary, in England, after Thatcher was re-elected, reforms continued to deepen. This time they took out Rolls-Royce, steel companies, water companies, and electric power companies. These are all very high-quality industry. "

Li Guangyu did not expect the privatization of England to be so ruthless. You must know that Rolls-Royce is not only an airline company, but also a car company. It is also called Rolls Royce. Its engine technology is at the top level in the world. purchasing their engines.

Although the current automobile market is generally in a downturn, especially in the luxury car market, the development of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars is currently relatively difficult, but the determination of the British government to privatize such a very important company is not ordinary.

However, Li Guangyu did not think about buying this company. He knew that no matter how much money he had, he would not be able to buy this company. The British government will only let it be controlled by the British consortium, Li Guangyu doesn't even think about it.

However, several other companies can be considered, especially the British Water Company and the British Electric Power Company. As for the steel company, Li Guangyu prefers to buy technology rather than buy a company. Now that he has iron mines in Australia, if he starts another steel company , can form an industrial chain.

He needs to think about this matter and see if this steel company is worth buying. If the technology is good, he can make an acquisition. At that time, he will form a joint venture with the mainland. The demand for steel products in the mainland will continue to rise in the future. Li Guangyu still hopes that he can enter this market,
Moreover, he has huge car production bases in various places, and his demand for steel is relatively large. With his own steel company, he can avoid some restrictions.

Li Guangyu said: "Don't think about Rolls-Royce. You ask Zhang Ziyu and Zhao Qihui to collect more information on the other three companies. After the negotiations on the French side are over, I will go to London in person and decide whether to do so at that time." acquisitions of these industries."

Seeing that Li Guangyu was interested in these companies, Gu Zhengsheng was very happy in his heart. At present, Western Europe, especially London, is the place with the most headquarters of Li's consortium besides Xiangjiang. The growing size has made the Western European market more and more important within the Li's consortium, and his own status has also been significantly improved.

Once the acquisition of these companies is completed this time, the weight of the Western European market in the Li's consortium will be even greater, not to mention surpassing Xiangjiang, and it will be no problem to rank second.

The person in charge of Xiangjiang has always been the first executive officer of the Li Consortium. Du Yuemei, who used to be the person in charge of Western Europe, was not the second or at least the third, but her qualifications were too shallow, so that she became the person in charge of the Li Consortium in Western Europe, and her ranking was still at the bottom. The importance of the Western European market cannot be highlighted at all.

He also has an in-depth understanding of the French market. It is very difficult for the Lee consortium to enter industries involving electricity, urban water supply, aviation, highway construction, and gas supply.

Even if some companies prepared by France to be privatized this time, it will be difficult for Li's consortium to take full ownership. The French government hopes that the government will have influence in these companies. They will not sell all the shares. When the time comes, the acquisition negotiations It's a very long thing.

The British side is completely different. Many of them are directly sold as a whole, and their government has never thought about retaining a small amount of equity, and they are not like France, where many important industries are controlled by the government.

Gu Zhengsheng said: "After returning to the hotel, I will contact the personnel in England. Chirac will come to the hotel at eight o'clock tonight and have a meeting with you. Now the two voices in France are equally divided. His current pressure Not small."

Li Guangyu is not too worried about this, as long as he acquires French companies within a legal framework, he is not afraid of changes in French policies in the future.

No matter how the French policy changes, it is still a capitalist country, as long as its own industry operates legally, there will be no problems.

This time, Li Guangyu first set his sights on the French TV [-] that was brought out this time, which is currently the company with the highest ratings in France.

Li Guangyu has always attached great importance to the media. Only by mastering the public opinion can he better maintain the development of his industry. This time he can give up other industries in Paris. Li Guangyu must take down this TV station.

Li Guangyu said: "At present, in other countries in Western Europe, has there been such a trend in their country? The technology of some national companies is still quite good. Our major groups have been established for too long, so we can only make up for it through acquisitions. Strengthen the competitiveness of our major groups."

In the 90s, there was a wave of privatization in Western Europe, and in the [-]s, Eastern Europe would follow suit. There are so many opportunities here, how could Li Guangyu give up such opportunities.

Especially last year, the reformers of the Soviet Union had already come to power, and Li Guangyu was waiting for the introduction of the Soviet Union's economic reforms. Once the reforms were carried out there, he would join the Soviet Union's reforms just like the American consortium, Japan, and Western European consortia. Go, even if he can't eat meat, he still wants to drink some soup.

Gu Zhengsheng responded: "Li Sheng, currently the most powerful privatization movement is England. France only started to mention it after Chirac came to power. Other regions have not had much influence, but Spain and Portugal have already joined the European Community. , which will prompt them to carry out economic reforms, and as time goes on, more and more countries in Western Europe will carry out economic reforms, but it will take some time."

Since other countries are still standing still, Li Guangyu will not think about the affairs of other countries for the time being, and he is still doing a good job in the two markets of France and England.

There will also be opportunities in the German market in the future, especially after the merger of the two Germanys, a large number of government enterprises in East Germany will be privatized, and he will see if he can get a share of the pie.

An era of rapid change is coming, Li Guangyu hopes that he can seize the opportunity in this change, expand the market of his industry, and accumulate more foundation for his consortium.

In this transformation, Eastern Europe will be a huge treasure. Not only is he eyeing it this time, but the American consortium and the Western European consortium have already placed there. It is destined to not be smooth sailing by then, Li The battle between the Chinese consortium and the American consortium will start in the Eastern European market.
