In the evening of the same day, Lee Kwang-woo, Zheng Yu-tung, Sumitomo Ki-young, Iwasaki Toshiei, Mitsui Nagao, Lee Jian-hee, Kim Woo-jung, and Spencer held their first discussion at Regal Hotel Group.

This is also the first time since the establishment of Anglo-Asia Investment Company that the shareholders have sat together like this, these people have strong influence in the Asian region and the world, and only in the face of the American consortium can these forces be brought together.

At present, the company is still very well funded, and it does not need the support of major banks for the time being, but only needs the authorization of these shareholders in the negotiations.

After all, the market value of each company is tens of billions of dollars, and it is impossible to achieve an acquisition without the authorization of shareholders in this regard, and each price increase may be hundreds of millions, and Anglo-Asian Investment must obtain their consent.

Li Guangyu's goal is to first focus on the power and water companies, and after eating these two companies first, he is considering taking over other companies.

There is no need to worry about bankruptcy when acquiring these companies, while other companies may not be able to do so, and Li Guangyu hopes to be able to control a number of companies with stable profits, so that the development of the Li consortium will be stable.

At the meeting, however, the Japanese consortium advocated focusing on the British National Oil Company and British Rolls-Royce, and the Korean consortium wanted to buy British Steel in addition to these two companies.

Although the Japanese and South Korean consortia know that investing in electricity and water is low-risk and long-lasting, they prefer to solve their own domestic energy and technology problems, and oil is a strategically important material.

The oil crisis of the late 70's and early 80's seriously threatened the development of the Japanese economy, and over the years, various Japanese consortia and governments have been hoping to take the initiative in this regard.

If there is an opportunity to control oil resources, Li Guangyu will naturally be willing, but this time several major US conglomerates, especially the two top consortia of Morgan and Rockefeller, are aiming for this company, and it is extremely difficult for them to eat this company.

Li Guangyu said: "I can immediately think of everyone's own ideas, but compared with the power company and the water company, the acquisition of oil companies, Rolls-Royce companies, steel companies, etc. is much more difficult, and the American consortium is mainly focused on this, I mean first eat the power and water companies, and then concentrate on the acquisition of the British National Oil Company." ”

The people present understood what Li Guangyu meant, the American consortium of power and water companies did not care too much, they won it relatively easily, and the oil company was very favored by both sides, and when the time came, they would go all out to compete on it and eat this group as much as possible.

As for the steel companies, the Japanese consortium does not care, their technology in this is not inferior to that of the British.

Rolls-Royce has a very good stuff in it, but it's much less important than the oil companies.

Iwasaki said: "Mr. Li, I know that the main purpose of your trip to England this time is to buy electricity, water, and natural gas companies, and it doesn't matter if you can't and can't buy the best oil companies.

As for the aerospace companies, British Air Europa and Rolls-Royce, they are not in your plan at all, and these companies are a bit of a chicken rib for you.

If it weren't for the fact that the U.S. consortium wanted to snipe at the three companies you planned, I guess we wouldn't have cooperated this time. ”

Everyone here knows that Li Guangyu's main targets are the three companies of electricity, natural gas and tap water, and when he cooperated with the British aristocracy, he bought these three.

It was only when several American consortia actually negotiated the acquisition of these companies that Li Guangyu contacted them.

Li Guangyu is now advocating the acquisition of the remaining power and water companies, apparently hoping to complete his original plan, and as for the subsequent competition with the American consortium, he can snap up the best, and he does not care if the acquisition fails.

As for aerospace and aircraft engine technologies, Li Guangyu is located in Xiangjiang, he does not need them at all, and as for the overlap of Rolls-Royce sedans with his Bentley and Jaguar, he has no role.

It's just a car group, and the Jaguar engine is enough to meet the needs of various models of the Bentley Group, and the engine of Rolls-Royce does not have much effect on him.

Li Guangyu said: "Mr. Iwasaki, my original plan is indeed like that, but my current proposition has nothing to do with my previous plan, let's eat what is easy to get first, so that we can concentrate all our energy on competing with the American consortium, shouldn't this be a normal operation?"

If I hadn't sniped the American consortium out of the British market this time, I wouldn't have had to go through a lot of trouble to contact everyone, and I believe that I would have made it clear that I would only win the three companies of electricity, natural gas, and tap water, and that the American consortium would not compete fiercely with me for its own plan. ”

Earl Spencer is only now discovering that this alliance is also not peaceful, if it weren't for the existence of the American consortium, I am afraid that these forces will start to fight each other.

The major consortia are located in different places and have different interests, and Spencer feels that this kind of cooperation will not last long.

Although he has been in England for a long time, he knows the history of East Asia very well, especially the history of these three countries, and it is difficult to sort out the grievances between them.

The reason why they can still sit together now is because they have a common enemy, and once this enemy is gone, they are afraid that they will meet each other in arms and completely suppress each other.

In fact, Spencer also hopes to be able to buy electricity and water companies, and these aristocrats are buying companies that do not have too much risk and stable profits, leaving a good industry for their descendants, even if the descendants are not capable, relying on these shares is enough to enrich their lives.

As for those aerospace companies with high investment risks such as aircraft engines and other large investments, they are not their first choice.

To this end, he said: "I agree with Mr. Li's assertion that electricity and water companies are relatively easy compared to other companies, and we need to cut through the mess now and eat these two companies as soon as possible, and then consider other companies, which is the most beneficial option for us." ”

Now the situation is very strange, with the support of Spencer, Lee Guangyu has the support of half of the shares, and the Japanese consortium and the Korean consortium together are also half.

Sumitomo Kiei, who has always had a very good relationship with the Lee Foundation, said, "Everyone knows what you think, and since we are working together now, we should consider it from the other side's point of view.

Now that the U.S. consortium is focused on the major companies, it is almost impossible for us to take them down in a short period of time, so we might as well eat the power and water companies first, so that we can have more energy to compete with the other companies of the U.S. consortium. ”

With the Sumitomo consortium coming forward to take a stand, and the Mitsui family agreeing with Sumitomo Kiei's statement, all parties finally agreed to complete the acquisition of the power and water company as soon as possible.

After the meeting, Lee met with Sumitomo Kiei alone and thanked him for his support at the meeting.
