The Queen of England asked curiously: "Earl Williams, do you mind telling us, what is your major investment?"

"Of course I don't mind!" Henry said, "Speaking of which, my next few investments must be supported by the British government!"

"Please tell me, if it is reasonable, I will help you persuade the British government!" The Queen of England expressed her favor to Henry and smiled slightly.

"Then I will talk about one thing one by one. First of all," Henry thought about it. "First of all, the British Thames Water Company. The British government proposed the privatization policy of the water company in 1989, so I want to buy The British Thames Water Company hopes to get the consent of the British government!"

The British Thames Water Company is the third largest water company in the world, and its business is mainly concentrated in the United Kingdom and the United States. The first largest water company is the well-known Vivendi, and the second largest water company is the Suez Lyon Water Group. What does the water company do? To put it simply, it refers to the industrial chain consisting of raw water, water supply, water saving, drainage, sewage treatment and water resource recycling. The water plant is only a part of the water company!

Henry wants to buy the British Thames Water Company, which is equivalent to controlling most of the water in the UK and parts of the United States, and his identity and status will be greatly improved!

Water is the source of life, and controlling water in Britain is equivalent to controlling the lifeblood of Britain!

Henry thought to himself that even if he did not buy the British Thames Water Company, it would have to be acquired by the German RWE Group for more than US$4 billion in 2000. Since the German company can buy it, so can it!

Sure enough, upon hearing Henry's words, the Queen of England immediately said: "This should be no problem, but the price... Your Excellency Earl Williams, how much do you plan to pay for the British Thames Water Company?"

"4 billion dollars!" Henry responded casually, as if 4 billion dollars were like a pile of waste paper.

With the current purchasing power of the U.S. dollar, US$4 billion is definitely much more expensive than the US$4 billion in 2000, and the British Thames Water Company is still developing, so it can be inferred. The price of US$4 billion definitely far exceeds the market value of Thames Water in the UK!

A middle-aged man was surprised and quickly said something in the ear of the Queen of England.

After hearing this, the Queen of England nodded.

When Henry saw the Queen of England talking with the middle-aged man, he picked up the wine glass. Drinking slowly, Henry will continue talking when they finish talking.

After a while, the Queen of England said to Henry: "Your Excellency, Earl Williams, there is no big problem with the purchase of Thames Water. Please go on to the next investment!"

"Okay," Henry said, "The second investment is, I want to buy the British energy company!"

In 1989, not only the water company was privatized and reorganized, but the power company was also privatized and reorganized, and finally divided into many power generation companies. However, the transmission company is still exclusively operated by the State Grid Corporation! The British energy company that Henry wants to buy belongs to nuclear power plants and controls 8 of the 10 operating nuclear power plants in the UK!

Thermal power, hydropower. The technical content of wind power is a bit low, so Henry wants to buy a nuclear power plant. At present, the most mainstream is naturally thermal power plants, but the pollution is serious, and nuclear power generation is the future trend. The power generation is large, the air pollution is small, and the research on nuclear energy will be more useful!

At present, the electricity generated by the British energy company can provide 31.5% of the electricity used in the UK, and the market value is very high.

Controlled water use in the UK. After controlling the electricity consumption in the UK, whether it is the Queen of England or the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, they have to pay special attention to themselves! Sneeze yourself. Britain has to be shaken!

Henry thought for a while and added: "Probably bid 20 billion US dollars!"

As soon as the voice fell, everyone was shocked and speechless. First it was US$4 billion, and now it is US$20 billion. The company is buying more and more. It actually wants to buy the largest nuclear energy company in the UK-British Energy!

Prince Andrew next to him was stunned at the moment. Although he was born in the Swedish royal family, he did not have much money. But Henry opened his mouth and shut his mouth. It was tens of billions of dollars. The 250 million dollars he had just reported before him was really shameful! Although Prince Andrew knew that Henry was the richest man, he had never seen such a big spender!

Prince Andrew said that he had little knowledge and had never seen such a trench before! He even suddenly had an illusion that he felt that he was not a prince, but a beggar...

At this time, the Queen of England asked: "Earl Williams, what other company do you plan to acquire?"

After controlling hydropower, the next step is naturally finance.

"Your Majesty, you know, I bought Bahrain Bank before."

"Yes, I know that the money of the British royal family will be handed over to the Bank of Bahrain for investment management!" said the Queen of England.

"In order to expand the scale and profitability of the Bank of Bahrain, I will acquire a number of banks in the UK!" Henry said, "The acquisition of banks can be done in accordance with market operations. There are many banks in the UK to choose from. British energy companies need permission from the British government!"

"Don't worry, Earl Williams, the British government should agree to sell the two companies!"

Henry nodded, "Well, it would be best if it were this way!"

At this time, the dinner was almost finished. After the banquet, Henry was about to leave Buckingham Palace, but the Queen of England called Henry to her side with a smile.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?" Henry asked, observing the expression of the Queen of England.

"What do you think of Prince Andrew?" The Queen of England smiled. "I mean, do you think he deserves Princess Ulysses?"

Henry smiled bitterly in his heart, what is the answer?

Henry was silent for a moment ~www.readwn.com~ glanced around, and saw Princess Ulysses not far away looking here, although her face was frosty, her heart was sad. When Henry thought of Prince Andrew's blond and rugged face like a lion, he immediately felt worthless for Princess Ulysses.

A flower on the cow dung?

Henry shook his head and said to the Queen of England: "Not good enough!"

"Then who do you think is worthy?" The Queen of England smiled deeply and looked at Henry.

Henry saw the expression of the Queen of England and knew what she meant.

"I think..." Henry was a bit complicated. Princess Ulysses was the most temperamental and beautiful woman Henry had ever seen. If she had a normal status, Henry would have laughed at it. Jinwu Cangjiao or something must be necessary. , Who told her to look so beautiful! But her identity is the British princess, Henry had to consider more factors...

It's really a big problem whether it's going up or not!
