Through the wealth life

Chapter 960
Li Guangyu's side is developing step by step, but Yinglun's acquisition has reached a fever pitch. The two sides have increased the purchase price time and time again, and the purchase price of many companies has reached or exceeded their expectations.

The most important thing is that when Yingya Investment Company and Yingli Investment Company competed, capital from other places also joined in, hoping to take a bite out of the privatization of England.

This time, capital from West Germany has joined in, focusing on Rolls-Royce and British National Petroleum.

In addition, Saudi Arabia and the royal family of Kuwait are not willing to be lonely. The two parties jointly bid for the British Petroleum Company, hoping to obtain this company with many technologies, so that they can transform from crude oil to products, deepen the industrial chain, and obtain more income.

The current British market is full of competition, and everyone hopes to win their favorite company, and the current British National Petroleum Company has become the focus of competition among all parties.

At this critical moment, Li Guangyu, Sumitomo Qiying, Iwasaki Toshihide, Li Jianxi, and Zheng Yutong went to London again to direct the company's acquisition issue.

In Yingya Investment Company, several shareholders listened to the company's high-level acquisition reports during this period, as well as some current situations in England.

Listening to the bids made by the two royal families of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, even Toshihide Iwasaki, who is at the helm of Mitsubishi, the second largest conglomerate in Japan, frowned. These two families do not take money as money at all.

Now the quotations for the shares held by the British National Petroleum Corporation government have exceeded the two levels above the stock market. At present, the total shares of British National Petroleum Corporation are 15 billion shares, and the unit price on the stock market is 27.6 pounds per share, and the British government controls 65% of the shares. Shares, whoever takes the shares in the government's hands will take over the company.

At present, the price quoted by Yingya Investment Company is 31.2 pounds per share to acquire the shares held by the British government. According to the situation learned by Yingya Investment Company, the latest quotation of the Saudi Investment Company jointly established by Saudi Arabia and the Kuwaiti royal family is 35 pounds per share , which means that it will take 341.25 billion pounds to eat the shares in the hands of the British government.

And at the current exchange rate between the British pound and the U.S. dollar, this has exceeded 500 billion U.S. dollars, that is, the combination of several major consortiums. Otherwise, it would be difficult for a single consortium to eat it all at once. It is very difficult not to affect the development of the consortium.

Only now did Li Guangyu realize that he had underestimated the financial resources of those local tyrants in the Middle East. In the past, he mainly focused on American consortiums, Japanese consortiums, Western European consortia, and even Chinese and Korean consortiums in Southeast Asia. There were even families and consortia in Canada, Latin America, and Australia. Note that only the Middle East is missing.

Look at this time, the investment company that the two royal families are planning to set up, bid more than 500 billion U.S. dollars without blinking an eye, which shows how strong the two royal families are.

In Li Guangyu's impression, there is nothing worth paying attention to in the Middle East except for oil, and the only thing he looks at is oil. He has never entered the oil industry before, and the enhanced version of his own business has not been developed in the Middle East, so he is very concerned about this side. The specific situation is not known.

Especially in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, the two royal families have controlled the country for hundreds of years. Although there were some twists and turns in the Saudi royal family, they quickly regained control of the country.

For hundreds of years, especially in this century, the demand for oil around the world has soared, allowing these oil-exporting countries to obtain huge profits. Both Saudi Arabia and the Kuwaiti royal family are very rich.

The acquisition of natural gas companies and water supply companies by Yingya Investment Company has cost nearly 200 billion U.S. dollars. If they want to eat Rolls-Royce, British National Petroleum Company and British Steel Company, the more than 300 billion U.S. dollars on the company's book is far from enough.

Judging from the current situation, Li Guangyu and the others need to provide at least US$500 billion in support to Yingya Investment Company.

Sumitomo Qiying said: "The British government played really well this time. They deliberately threw out such a large piece of fat for all parties to compete for. They completed their own economic reforms and obtained huge fiscal revenue. To be honest, now, Such a price has far exceeded the value of British Petroleum itself, and I hope that everyone can carefully consider before deciding whether we should continue to follow up."

Their Sumitomo consortium is not a local tyrant in the Middle East. It is not easy for them to earn money. They are all earned through painstaking efforts. Where there is countless black gold buried underground like in the Middle East, there is no need for them to rack their brains to think about how the company and the group will develop.

The price of 35 pounds has far exceeded their expectations, and Sumitomo Qiying believes that this has also exceeded the expectations of the American consortium.

The market value of the industries under the control of their consortium is indeed huge, but that is only the market value. Even if the assets under their control reach several trillion yuan, so what, this acquisition needs to be paid out in cash. It is impossible for him to make the Sumitomo consortium normal because of this acquisition. Development is disrupted.

Li Guangyu is currently not in a hurry to acquire the oil company. It is best if he can acquire it, and it doesn't matter if he can't. Now Zhang Ziyu and the British government have almost negotiated about the technology transfer of the steel company.

On his side in England, except for the acquisition of the power company, which failed to achieve his goal, he has already gained in everything else.

After Sumitomo Qiying's voice fell, he said: "Everyone, now that all forces have set their sights on this oil company, we might as well look at the reactions of the American consortium and the West German consortium. At this time, maybe we should consider the British oil company." For some other companies, we don’t need to focus only on these companies.”

Sumitomo Qiying, Li Jianxi and others all know that Li Guangyu doesn't care whether these companies can be acquired or not, and the major groups under the Li consortium are expanding frantically. , Taipei, Singapore and other places at the same time to establish Xiangyu comic theme park.

On the other side of Xiangjiang, it is announced that it will rebuild a university town, and many of its subsidiaries are involved in the development of it.

Several major real estate groups in Japan have also launched a prelude to crazy expansion, and now the Li's consortium doesn't have much thought to estimate the acquisition problem on the British side.

This time, if Sumitomo Qiying and Li Guangyu hadn't talked on the phone in person and invited Li Guangyu to come to England, Li Guangyu might not have thought of coming here.

Although the Korean consortium represented by Li Jianxi intends to take over the British Petroleum Company, but looking at such a high price and comparing the strength of their own side, they also feel that it is unnecessary to continue bidding like this.

The Saudi Investment Company’s first quotation was 35 pounds per share, which is definitely not their final quotation. If it continues like this, it is likely to be a loss-making business for Yingya Investment Company.

Saudi Arabia is different from the royal family of Kuwait. With this oil company, they can increase the value of their products. They don’t need to export crude oil on a large scale. Only by selling products can they get higher profits, so they don’t care about the higher purchase price.

Li Jianxi said: "I also think we can wait and see for a while to see how other parties respond. Although we also have a great need for oil, it is not worthwhile to send money to the British government."
