The next morning, Lee held a high-level meeting of Lee's in London in the conference room of the Regal Hotel.

Li Guangyu specially listened to the investigation of several British companies by Yuan Tianfan, Zhao Xiaoyan, and others.

Yuan Tianfan said: "Li Sheng, this time we are afraid that it will be a little difficult for us to eat these companies alone, just one natural gas company is expected to be close to six billion pounds, and at the current exchange rate, this is nearly 10 billion US dollars, and the market value of several other companies is not much less." ”

Don't look at the funds that Li Guangyu brought over this time, it seems that there are a lot of funds, and it is not enough to eat these big companies.

Moreover, these companies are closely related to the lives of citizens, and the Labour Party is very opposed to this.

Some citizens are also worried that once these companies are privatized, it will not be conducive to price stability and will increase their cost of living in the future.

Of course, Li Guangyu knows that if he wants to eat these companies completely, it will definitely be expensive, look at Xiangjiang, which is much smaller than England, and the market value of those monopoly gas, electricity and other companies is as high as tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars, and it is understandable that such a price is here.

Although Li Guangyu also knew that the negotiators on the British side were asking for a price, Yuan Tianfan had already given an estimate, so the market value of the company would be almost at this price to be able to get it.

With his funds this time, if he does not consider loans, it is estimated that he will only have to choose two of the three major companies of electricity, water and natural gas.

Fortunately, this time the British nobles are also ready to intervene, although it is not yet certain how much stake he occupies in this joint venture company, but he does not expect it to exceed 50%, so that his funds will be enough to buy these three companies.

Li Guangyu said to the senior executives present: "You don't have to worry too much about this, I had a discussion with the Earl of Spencer last night, and some nobles on the British side are interested in cooperating with us this time, and we will jointly establish an investment company to acquire these three companies, as well as invest in the future industry of Britain." ”

Yuan Tianfan and the others knew that Li Guangyu went to Althop Manor last night, but they didn't know what Li Guangyu went to discuss.

Now listening to Li Guangyu mention, they are more happy in their hearts, these high-level officials are very aware of the influence of these big nobles in the upper echelons of Britain, and after the cooperation between the two sides this time, many problems can be solved.

These high-level executives are not like Li Guangyu, who takes the shares so tightly, they are actually more willing to list the group they lead, so that they will have a greater sense of achievement.

Now that all of them are wholly owned by Li Guangyu, their group can't even enter many rankings, and the most important problem is that their group is not a listed company.

At the same time, because the group is not listed, the market value of their group will be much undervalued, and it will not be able to reflect accurate data at all.

Moreover, this joint venture is indeed more beneficial to the Li consortium, one is to solve the current problem of insufficient funds, the second is that with these nobles to come forward, it will be easier for them to acquire, and the third is to reduce the number of auctions for this acquisition by the citizens of London, compared with these nobles, the Li consortium has always been an outsider.

Zhao Xiaoyan asked: "Li Sheng, I don't know how many shares we occupy in this joint venture company, and how much capital needs to be injected in the first batch?"

"I just reached an intention to cooperate with Spencer, as for the specific shares of the joint venture, Tianfan and you will be discussed in detail with Zhengsheng, Ziyu and their people in the next few days. ”

These things are not decided immediately, after all, there are many interests involved, and Spencer himself cannot make the decision.

Li Guangyu estimates that it is the Duke of Westminster who has the idea this time, and at present, among Spencer, only this Duke has the largest assets, with an estimated assets of tens of billions of pounds, not including his family's invisible property.

They are already quite familiar with such a joint venture company, and the current Xiangjiang Zhonghua Investment Company is running quite well, and their Li consortium does not need to spend much effort to manage, and can obtain good returns every year.

Although these benefits are not dividends and are placed in the company's continued operation, the market value has indeed increased a lot.

Yuan Tianfan said: "Li Sheng, I don't know what you plan for this company, how many shares do we occupy in it?"

Li Guangyu still needs to set the tone in this regard, otherwise they don't have a standard, and it's really difficult to negotiate with the personnel on the side of the British aristocracy.

Li Guangyu said with a smile: "There are a lot of nobles cooperating with the British side this time, there are four dukes, and there are many marquis and earls, so we can't occupy too high a share, 30%, I think such a value is more appropriate, let these families occupy 70% of the shares, and this joint venture company is also handed over to them to manage, we only need to supervise the finances." ”

Since he does not own the vast majority of the shares, Li Guangyu has no interest in controlling such a company, and his own high-level management is not enough, these nobles have a lot of elite talents, and it will be more convenient for them to manage the company in the UK.

This makes the degree really big enough, Yuan Tianfan and they know very well that before coming to England again, Li Guangyu was ready to eat all these companies, and now he only accounts for 30% of the shares of the investment company, which is equivalent to handing over the control of several companies to the British aristocracy.

And their Li consortium can only wait for dividends every year, once these nobles join forces, they have no power to resist in the investment company.

They don't believe that Li Guangyu doesn't know the situation, if this was in the past, it would never have happened.

Back then, in order to obtain an absolute controlling stake in the Xingyue Group, the Li consortium had to hold more than two-thirds of the shares, and the Fujiwara family could never have more than one-third of the shares.

The same is true for the listing of Jiayi Group, and they currently hold 70% of the shares of Jiayi Group, which is to avoid the group being unable to absolutely control it.

And now Li Guangyu is only going to invest 30% of the company's shares, which surprises them.

Gu Zhengsheng said: "Li Sheng, if we only control 30% of the shares, I am afraid that it will be quite unfavorable to us, I think this stake should be mentioned 35%, if possible, 50% to go, so that our cooperation can take the initiative if something goes wrong in the future." ”

Zhang Ziyu, Zhao Qihui, Qin Yu, Zhao Wenhua and others all expressed their support for Gu Zhengsheng's opinion, England is not Xiangjiang, these nobles are not Zheng Yutong, Li Shauji, Guo Desheng and others, they are all very good families, and the shares account for nothing, anyway, Li Guangyu is in the mentality of taking care of them.

This side is different, the Li consortium and these nobles do not have much friendship, whether they can cooperate for a long time is unknown, just in case, it is best to have more than 34% of the shares, so that the Li consortium can have a place on the board of directors of this company, so that there is not even a little room for resistance.

Li Guangyu saw that so many people supported Gu Zhengsheng's proposal, so he no longer insisted on his previous idea and agreed with Gu Zhengsheng's opinion.

He used to think that if he occupied too many aristocratic families this time, the remaining shares would not be enough for these families.

And as soon as Gu Zhengsheng said this, Li Guangyu also felt that he had to be prepared, so let Yuan Tianfan talk about it first.
