Chapter 942: The American consortium intervenes
After returning to London in the afternoon, Gu Zhengsheng came to the hotel to report to Li Guangyu: "Li Sheng, this acquisition is a little troublesome, some American capital has made a move, especially the investment companies under the four major consortiums of First Citigroup, Rockefeller, Morgan and California, which are eyeing a number of British companies, and we want to easily acquire natural gas and other companies, but I am afraid that it will add a lot of difficulty." ”
Li Guangyu didn't find that at this time, these American foundations still wanted to come over and intervene, and it seems that the Japanese consortium did not put enough pressure on them in the United States.
This time, it is still the top four consortia in the United States, and the strength of each of them is far superior to his, if these companies are eyeing these groups, I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to be able to eat these companies.
Li Guangyu asked: "Do you know what industries these groups are going to eat?"
"Li Sheng, Rockefeller's and Morgan consortium are all in contact with BP, the First Citigroup is in contact with British Aerospace, and the California consortium is in contact with British Steel and British European Airways, in addition, some of their personnel are also investigating the situation of natural gas, electricity and other companies, and it is not ruled out that they will stumble on this. ”
Li Guangyu knew that the US consortium had also come to buy the bottom, and if the United States had not been the driving force behind the privatization of state-owned enterprises in Western Europe, he would not have believed it.
These conglomerates in the United States just want these countries to privatize, and they use their abundant funds to buy the bottom, so that they can control the economic development of each country and tie each country firmly to their chariot.
The European Communist Party is getting bigger and bigger, the establishment of the European Union is already gradually advancing, this political, military, and economic integration organization is something that the United States does not want to see, but the United States has no way to stop it now, for the sake of the United States' influence in Western Europe in the future, they hope to be able to control some industries in Western European countries, and it is the United States that advocates a free economic system.
Li Guangyu knows very well that the French Chirac was able to take the stage this time, and it is indispensable for the United States to take action later, because they just don't want France to continue to nationalize its operations in this way, which is contrary to the strategy implemented by the United States, and in order to interrupt France's current development model, the Chirac camp with the goal of privatization is naturally supported by the United States.
Li Guangyu is fighting with the American consortium in Britain this time, this is not the United States, these consortiums do not have the support of the US government, even if they have very strong funds, Li Guangyu will not be afraid of them.
Li Guangyu said: "Zhengsheng, you go to learn more about this situation, and at the same time you inform Tianfan, Miss Zhao, Qi Hui, and Ziyu to contact the British government and oil companies, Rolls-Roy, British Aerospace, British Steel, and British European Airways to discuss the acquisition of these companies. ”
Since the American consortium wants to buy these companies, Li Guangyu has to add to their blockage to see if these consortiums still have the heart to compete with them in the three companies of natural gas, tap water, and electricity.
Now that the American consortium has come over, Li Guangyu naturally needs to win over some allies, and Li Guangyu believes that Japan is still very interested in oil companies, and at present he does not have the strength to single out the American consortium, so now he can only unite with the Japanese consortium.
This time, Lee Guang-woo not only wants to win over the Japanese consortium, but also the South Korean consortium is also the target of his wooing, and as a country whose main resources depend on imports, the Korean consortium also hopes to occupy the initiative in oil and steel, and Lee Guang-woo does not believe that they are not moved by some British companies.
Since he wants to play a big game, the Lee consortium and the American consortium took the initiative to compete for the first time, and Li Guangyu chose the battlefield in the British market, he wanted to see how strong the American consortium was.
When Gu Zhengsheng saw that Li Guangyu was directly facing the targets of several major American conglomerates, he knew that this time the matter would not be over in a short time.
I'm afraid that this time the British government will be happy, this time these companies are very large, not ordinary forces can eat, with the competition of the American consortium and the Lee consortium, they can sell these companies at a higher price.
However, Gu Zhengsheng also knows that this time they have to fight back, and their Li consortium is ready to buy natural gas, power companies and other big forces, and at this time, the American consortium is still investigating and contacting these companies, which is obviously aimed at them.
If we retreat this time, I am afraid that the Lee consortium will face such a problem every time it acquires in the future, and the US consortium is obviously preparing to crack down on the industrial expansion of the Lee consortium.
Gu Zhengsheng said: "Li Sheng, I will inform Tianfan and Ziyu of them, and we have reached an agreement with Spencer and their joint venture company, we occupy 40% of the shares, and more than a dozen of them jointly occupy 60% of the shares, the registered capital of the company is 10 billion pounds, and we will contribute 4 billion pounds, that is, 6.1 billion US dollars." ”
Li Guangyu said: "I am going to hold a dinner the night after tomorrow, and you will send invitations to the dukes of Westminster, Argyll, Marlborough, etc., as well as the marquis and earl. ”
Li Guangyu wants to play big this time, which is indispensable for the support of these local forces, and the acquisition of some strategic enterprises in the United Kingdom, with them as shareholders, is more powerful for the acquisition.
For example, Rolls-Royce in the United Kingdom, and British Aerospace are all companies of strategic importance to the United Kingdom, and if there is no British capital in them, it is difficult for Li Guangyu to eat them.
After Gu Zhengsheng left, Li Guangyu instructed Gan Qin: "You should contact Chen Dong in Xiangjiang early tomorrow morning, ask him to contact the major shareholders of Xiangjiang Bank, ask them if they intend to take some shares in the acquisition here, and if they are willing, let them send a few representatives."
At the same time, I contacted Qin Jiao in Japan, and asked her to visit several major Japanese consortia and Ito, Fujiwara and other families, and ask them if they are interested in these companies in the United Kingdom, and if they are willing to cooperate with us, focusing on oil companies, and if they are willing to cooperate, they also hope that they can have a few people who can come to London.
Inform our person in charge in South Korea, and also communicate with several major families in South Korea about cooperation in this regard, if you are willing, come over a few people. ”
At present, it is late at night in Xiangjiang, Tokyo, and Seoul, and Li Guangyu does not want to disturb these people by phone, so he can only ask the responsible persons of various places to communicate late at night in London and in the morning there.
This time, Lee Guangyu hopes to attract some capital to come in and form a powerful coalition with several parties to jointly deal with the American consortium.
Although the United States is extremely strong militarily and even has troops stationed in Japan, South Korea and other places, the consortiums of these two countries dare to fight with the American consortium whenever they have the opportunity.
Li Guangyu has recruited a number of Oriental consortiums and families to come over this time, so that the American consortium will know the strength of the Oriental consortium.
Gan Qin knew that Li Guangyu was going to play a game against the American consortium in the British market, although the Li consortium was still weak compared to the American consortium, but in some areas, the Li consortium already had the strength to compete with them.
Gan Qin responded: "Li Sheng, don't worry, after dawn over there, I will personally contact Chen Sheng, Sister Jiao, and Yang Sheng." ”
