Chapter 962: The Glad British Government

At 10 p.m. Tokyo time and 1 p.m. London time, after receiving the notice of the shareholders' resolution here, Yingya immediately held a high-level meeting to make key arrangements for the acquisition of the power company and the water company, and strive to eat the two companies within a week.

At the same time, it also arranged for people to keep a close eye on the companies that the United States consortium focused on, such as British National Oil Company, Rolls-Royce Company, and British Steel Company, to avoid these companies being acquired by Yingli during this period.

Naturally, there will be no shortage of voices opposing the privatization of state-owned enterprises on the British side, but the Conservative Party has stabilized the domestic situation after so many years in power, although there are some noises, which do not affect the progress of the government's sale of state-owned assets.

In the office of British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, another meeting was held on the current disposal of state-owned assets.

The Secretary of State for Commerce, who was in charge of the disposal, reported: "Prime Minister, this time due to the competition between Asian consortiums and American consortiums, the prices of each of our companies are much higher than previously expected, such as the Anglo-Asian company's acquisition of the gas company, which is almost a billion pounds higher than we expected. ”

Both Thatcher and the people present were full of joy on their faces, this time with these two huge forces competing with each other, their industries were able to obtain a lot of capital income from the British government.

This is just a natural gas company, on the two sides of the oil company, it will definitely be able to bring amazing profits to the government, you must know that the current market value of the British National Oil Company is as high as more than 23.2 billion pounds, as long as the two sides pay a percentage point more premium, that is hundreds of millions of pounds.

And these two forces obviously will not easily let go of this company, not to mention a premium of one percentage point in the hands of the government, that is, a premium of 20% or even 30%, if the competition between the two sides is fierce, 50% of the chance.

Thatcher said with a smile: "You must stabilize the situation, in the two major companies of electricity and tap water, you can be more biased towards the Yingya Investment Company, in other companies you must be business-oriented, and the enterprises involving people's livelihood are better controlled by the Li consortium, they have no political demands, and they are a real businessman."

However, the US consortium has political ties, and we cannot allow the US consortium to control companies that are fundamentally related to the production and life of citizens. ”

The electricity, water and gas companies have a lot of influence, and the Lee consortium has a huge advantage in controlling them, which is of great benefit to both the British government and their Conservative Party, and they naturally know how to choose.

This is the largest privatization of state-owned enterprises in the UK's history, and if all of these companies can be sold, it is expected that the British treasury will increase its revenue by hundreds of billions of pounds, and at the same time free the government treasury from the embarrassing situation of blood transfusion to these companies.

With such a large amount of money, the British government can better govern, and I believe that the country's weakened economy can be completely reversed.

The business secretary said: "There is a lot of criticism from the media and the public these days about our sale of the gas company. The important members of the Labour Party are even accusing us of harming the interests of the country, of making the whole country pay for our lack of economic development, and at the same time there are strikes in individual companies, which need to be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise it will be very unfavorable to us after a long time. ”

Thatcher was aware of some of the voices from the outside world, but she didn't care about them, as long as the economic vitality was stimulated and the unemployment rate in the country could be reduced, she believed that these voices would naturally disappear.

Those people just shout slogans, and they don't look at how much money the government has to subsidize every year in order to stabilize the development of these enterprises, these companies have become a cancer of the government, and if they are not removed, how can the government develop.

Thatcher said: "You have to control the propaganda work, and we must not compromise with those who have been tempted by the Labour Party to strike, because we have survived the strike in the coal industry for a year, and now the strike is not a matter of any problem." No one in the Labour Party can do anything but organise strikes of workers and trade unions. ”

Thatcher, the Iron Lady, really looked down on the Labour Party's game, thinking that in this way she would be able to compromise herself, and the Labour Party was too naΓ―ve.

She firmly believes that only by unswervingly implementing its own economic reforms can Britain get out of the current development quagmire, whether it is the former Bentley Group, the British Telecom Group and later the Xingyuan Mining Company.

After the sale of these companies, not only do they no longer need government subsidies, but they can also increase the government's tax revenue every year, as long as half of the sold companies can achieve this effect, the development of Britain is no longer a problem.

The Secretary of Industry said: "Prime Minister, there are no other industries, but the military is more opposed to Rolls-Royce and Aerospace, they think that it is related to the strategic security of the housekeeper, and it is not recommended to sell these two companies, and the European Community does not want us to sell Rolls-Royce to the American consortium." ”

Rolls-Royce, one of the world's top aero engine companies, currently provides engines not only for Rolls-Royce cars, but also for British military aircraft and Airbus, neither the British military nor Airbus wants this company to be controlled by an American consortium.

Thatcher said: "Don't rush to sell Rolls-Royce for the time being, see what happens later, you also contact the European Community, if they don't want this company to be controlled by the American consortium, ask them to join in, now that we have taken out the company, it is impossible to take it back." ”

Now the sales of these state-owned assets far exceed expectations, and it doesn't matter if the Rolls-Royce government continues to keep them, and the long-range aircraft that Airbus will launch next year are the engines used by this company, and she knows that the Li consortium has a lot of orders, and maybe the company will make a lot of money at that time.

Thinking of this, Thatcher hoped that Li Guangyu could eat British European Airlines, so that the number of Hong Kong Airlines planes would increase significantly, and there would be more orders from Airbus, and there would be more orders from Rolls-Royce.

At present, although this airline does not have many aircraft, but this company has three major airport bases, and it is also the top three airports in the United Kingdom.

Thatcher thought it was very good, but unfortunately Li Guangyu didn't have much money now, even if he had the heart to eat the airline, he didn't have that financial resources.

At present, Li Guangyu's Heung Kong Air Transport Group has aviation bases in Xiangjiang, Taoyuan, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok and Vancouver, with more than 200 routes, 150 civil passenger planes and 30 cargo planes.

Due to the deterioration of the relationship between the Lee consortium and the American consortium, even if the Boeing 747 can fully meet the needs of the Hong Kong Airlines, the expansion has been suspended and the products on the Airbus side have been postponed.

After next year, Lee will no longer be short of funds, and the airline will expand rapidly again.
