After the Li Group made a profit in the stock market, all aspects were blocked one after another, so that the legend of the Li Group in recent years quietly faded, and many citizens felt that the Li Group was no longer in the limelight, perhaps this would be the beginning of the Li Group from the peak to the trough.

The worldwide financial crisis and the introduction of protection policies in various countries have made some of Lee's companies face severe challenges, among which Bentley Group is the most serious.

The Lee Group, whether in Hong Kong or in the United Kingdom, is quite unsuccessful, facing the combination of the British consortium and the Singapore consortium, the successive failures of Swire Pacific and the Heung Kong Electric Group, and the acquisition of the telecommunications group in the United Kingdom is blocked, and the plan to set up an airline is still only in the plan.

Although the employees of the Lee Group are full of confidence in the group, they believe that the group will definitely develop better and better under the leadership of Li Guangyu. But they still hope that the group can fight back against the British-funded consortium and the Singapore consortium on some matters, and slap those who sing the praises of the Lee Group in the face.

Perhaps God felt the wish of the Li family's insiders, and on the evening of the 28th, Li Guangyu received a call from Du Yuemei, who reported to him in detail about today's meeting with Thatcher.

Du Yuemei has been waiting for Thatcher's reply since she left the Prime Minister's Office, and she still hopes that the airline's application will not be approved this time, otherwise the Li Group will definitely suffer greater setbacks in establishing an airline in the future.

When it was close to dinner, Du Yuemei finally waited for Thatcher's call, and the good news was that Thatcher did not refuse the Li Group's proposal to form an airline, but invited her to the Prime Minister's Office at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning for detailed talks.

Du Yuemei knows that the issue of the Li Group to set up an airline is estimated not to be too much of a problem, just to see what conditions Thatcher puts forward tomorrow, and Du Yuemei will not easily give in to interests this time.

In Thatcher's office, Du Yuemei said: "Your Excellency, it is a pleasure to receive you this time, do you have any good news to tell me today?"

Thatcher looked at the confident business elite in front of him and knew that some of his ideas could not be completed.

Thatcher said: "Ms. Du, there is indeed good news for you this time, regarding the price you gave to the market value of the telecom group of 3.2 billion US dollars, after deliberation with the senior management of the telecom group, we agreed that your Li Group will buy 50% of the shares of the telecom group for 1.6 billion US dollars. ”

Du Yuemei didn't want to accept such a high price now, she knew that it must be the British local consortium that was unwilling to take over at such a price, so Thatcher thought about selling it to herself.

Du Yuemei said: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, I am very sorry that the price we quoted was rejected by the senior management of the telecom group. After I reported to Li Sheng, our group temporarily stopped acquiring the telecom group, and the funds for the acquisition of the telecom group were also used elsewhere, so we could only do nothing. Isn't there a consortium in your country that is also competing this time? I think they will soon take over after we withdraw. ”

Thatcher was a little unsure whether Du Yuemei and the Li Group really planned to give up like this, as for the Li Group's financial problems, she would not worry about it at all, there are so many companies under the Li Group, only the Xingyue Group has a debt of 400 million US dollars, and this is still due to the joint venture relationship. If Li Guangyu is short of money, it will be very easy to borrow five or six billion dollars.

Thatcher said: "Ms. Du, our British government is very sincere in inviting you to invest in our homeland, our British market is very large, and the telecommunications group is definitely a very high-quality industry, and I hope you can consider it more." ”

Du Yuemei said: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, it's not that our Lee Group doesn't invest in your UK, but that some of your policies and behaviors make our Lee Group very uneasy. For example, this time the telecom group, why we bid first, when the other party and us have the same price, the senior management of the telecom group refused to transfer the shares to us, this is a different treatment of our investors, and our Li Group does not dare to invest in such a company. ”

Thatcher knew that although Du Yuemei was only talking about the telecom group, she was still referring to the airline, and the reason why the Li Group was considering acquiring the telecom group was to let her side notify the Hong Kong government to agree to the Li Group's application for the establishment of an airline. There is an obvious difference in treatment, why the British-funded consortium can be formed, and the Li Group is the owner.

Thatcher said: "Ms. Du, we all know some things, so don't pretend to be confused, if I approve you to form an airline, whether your group is willing to eat the shares of the telecom group." ”

Du Yuemei doesn't plan to take over the British Telecom Company at such a high price now, so she is unwilling to waste the funds of the Li Group to let the British government pick up the cheap.

Du Yuemei said: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, if your government can approve the formation of our airline without discrimination, I think our Lee Group is still very optimistic about the British market." As for the acquisition of the shares of the telecom group, I need to ask Li Sheng for instructions from the beginning, and this will need to be decided by Li Sheng, and we will definitely need to renegotiate the purchase price. ”

Thatcher immediately said: "Ms. Du, haven't you already given a valuation of 3.2 billion yuan for the acquisition? I think the price is still very appropriate, so there is no need to negotiate in this regard." ”

Thatcher really felt that he had shot himself in the foot this time, and he wanted to let the Li Group take out as much as possible to come and buy it, but he didn't expect it to become such a situation now. If the price is renegotiated, there will definitely not be such a high purchase price.

Du Yuemei said: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, how did this price come about, I think you know very well, since the telecom group refused us to buy at this price, our Li Group will naturally not negotiate at such a price, of course, if there are other groups to take over, our Li Group has no opinion, now we don't care about the problems of the telecom group, I have a lot of days in London, Bentley Group still has a lot of things to deal with, I also want to get back to Coventry as soon as possible." ”

Thatcher said: "Ms. Du, please also tell Mr. Li Guangyu that the Li Group's application to the Hong Kong government for the formation of an airline will be approved by the Hong Kong government within next week." At the same time, I ask him to consider the matter of our telecom group again, and as for the purchase price, you can communicate with the telecom group again, and this time I will issue an order to ensure the fairness of all companies participating in the competition. ”

Du Yuemei said with a smile: "Your Excellency the Prime Minister." Thank you so much, and I'm sure we Li Sheng will be very happy to get such news. As for the acquisition of the telecom group, I will also ask Li Sheng's opinion, and at the same time, I will also suggest that Li Sheng invest in the telecom group. ”

……

After listening to Du Yuemei's report again, Li Guangyu instructed her: "This time is really good news for our group, during this period of time, our Li Group has hit a wall in many things one after another, which can finally boost the morale of the group, about the matter of the telecommunications group, you continue to negotiate, after the results, I will transfer the funds to you." ”
