Now they are facing a very difficult problem, with the financial resources of the Japanese consortium and the Lee consortium, it is very easy to eat the main companies, plus with the British aristocracy threading the needle in it, they will be completely blocked out of the British market.

Let them give up the acquisition in this way, several heads of the consortium in Western Europe are obviously unwilling, the British side is only the beginning of the privatization of Western European state-owned enterprises, and the climax of privatization of Western European state-owned enterprises has not yet arrived.

If they retreat easily at the first stop, they will really have to eat leftovers in the privatization process of France, Germany, Italy, Spain and other countries in the future.

And now the question is how to break the current situation, now Anglo-Asian Investment Company has no shortage of funds, no lack of contacts, and no lack of influence in society.

On the contrary, the governments of Western Europe are becoming more and more wary of American conglomerates and companies, and the European Community was established to weaken the economic, political, and military influence of the United States over Western European countries.

Under the same conditions, the British government is obviously more willing to cooperate with European and Asian capital, and their American capital is not very popular with the local government.

In particular, governments will not allow other national capital to intervene in such companies that affect the necessities of people's lives unless absolutely necessary.

In order to deal with this unfavorable situation, Dampier Worthy has some countermeasures.

He said to a few: "Since the Li consortium has attracted the cooperation of the big nobles, we can completely win over some emerging families in Britain to cooperate, I believe that they will not be willing to be lonely, once these companies are in their hands, not only economic interests, but also political capital, some British families have considerable influence in the British House of Commons, and the British are in charge of the House of Commons." ”

After thinking about Dampier Worthy's proposal for a while, several people thought it was a good idea.

With the addition of British Capital, they will be less hindered in acquiring these companies, at least they can be on the same page as the Japanese Foundation and the Lee Foundation, and the competition will be fairer to them.

If they don't join forces with British Capital, they may not have a chance this time.

Samboson Smith said: "Worthy, Charles, this time our opponent is very strong, and I hope that you can put aside our grievances, and cooperate sincerely on this acquisition, to teach the Japanese consortium and the Lee consortium a lesson, they have become more and more rampant in the past two years, and we also want to let them know that even if they are not in the US market, they are not our opponents." ”

As a senior member of the First Citigroup Consortium, he is very aware of the current form of the consortium, and the Lee Consortium is now very close to Airbus, and in the past two years, not only Hong Kong Airlines has chosen Airbus for all aircraft purchases, but even Cathay Pacific Airways.

The most worrying thing for them is that the airlines on the mainland side have also bought Airbus planes, although the number is not much, but this makes Boeing very uneasy, they know too well the future market of the mainland, once the mainland side chooses to cooperate with Airbus for a long time, then it will be a huge blow to them Boeing.

In the past, First Citi would still want to ease the relationship with the Li consortium, but now they have completely let go of such thoughts, they already know from the layout of the Li consortium that Li Guangyu will cooperate with Western Europe more, and these consortia are extremely defensive against them.

First Citi has always hoped to defeat the ambition and arrogance of the Li consortium, and let Li Guangyu know how many catties and taels he has, so that Li Guangyu will not choose to continue to fight against them, and their products can enter the Li consortium's company.

First, the top management of Citi knows very well that if the Lee consortium continues to develop like this, unless the American consortium acknowledges his strength and development and does not suppress his companies, they will never be able to become friends, and their Boeing will forever lose the market of the Lee consortium's companies.

At present, Heung Kong Airlines has aviation bases in Hong Kong, Taoyuan, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok and Vancouver to provide protection for the company's aircraft.

In January, Hong Kong Airlines became the world's fifth-largest airline, behind United Airlines, Delta Air Lines, British Air Lines and All Nippon Airways.

And he has received news that the Airbus A330, which is currently flying test, is expected to be approved for marketing by the end of this year.

This aircraft has a range of more than 10,000 kilometers, which is enough to meet the needs of Heung Kong Airlines.

In the past year or so, Xiangjiang Airlines has continued to develop new routes, the main routes are international routes, the demand for ultra-long-range aircraft is very large, has been waiting for Airbus aircraft to be listed, as long as the aircraft has been approved by the airworthiness of countries around the world, Xiangjiang Airlines will definitely place a large number of orders.

Even as the head of Citigroup Western Europe, Samberson Smith is heartbroken by this, which is a huge profit.

With the layout of Heung Kong Airlines, the initial demand for this aircraft will not be less than 50 aircraft, and the demand for improved models will definitely be more in the future.

Sambertson Smith wants to be able to crack down on the Lee consortium and the Japanese consortium, and the Morgan consortium also wants to teach them a hard lesson.

Because of the Bentley Group and a number of Japanese automobile groups, the automobile group has continued to lower the sales price of automobiles, so that the profits of the General Motors Group controlled by them have been declining for more than a year, and if this continues, the finances of the General Motors Group will be unable to make ends meet, which makes their Morgan consortium happy.

Cross Charles immediately responded: "I don't have a problem, we should also let the Japanese consortium and the Lee consortium know who is the person who is responsible for the world economy, especially the Lee consortium, a consortium that has only risen for a few years, and now it is too happy, since he doesn't want to develop in a low-key manner, then we will directly let this consortium fall apart." ”

Dampier Worthy immediately said: "Charles, don't mess around, the strength behind the Li Consortium is also not to be underestimated, there are thousands of security personnel under it, many of them are retired personnel of the mainland army and the Xiangjiang Flying Tigers, you are only afraid that you will suffer from the crazy retaliation of the Li Consortium, and now the main enemy of the Li Consortium is our American Consortium, I don't want to be unsafe at any time because of your behavior." ”

Just kidding, whoever does this will affect the top executives and family members of these American consortiums, and the Li consortium will not tell them any evidence, and they also have enough assets in their hands.

The most terrifying thing is that dozens of groups of the Li consortium have not been listed, and they are firmly in the hands of the Li family.

Samberson Smith and Rockefeller Western Europe Principal K. Smith J. Diack also immediately said: "Charles, you think like this, we don't dare to cooperate with you, if something goes wrong with Li Guangyu or the top management of the Li Foundation, don't blame us for blaming you Morgan, we don't want to be buried with you." ”

What are you kidding, Li Guangyu is not a politician, they want money and money, they want people, and they can get weapons if they want weapons, and this kind of practice will only make everyone live in fear together.
