Chapter 943: Multi-party cooperation
On the evening of April 9th, in the banquet hall of the Regal Hotel, there were only six tables this evening, which was quite empty compared to the entire banquet hall.
At Li Guangyu's table, there are the Duke of Westminster, the Duke of Argyle, Sumitomo Kiei, Fujiwara Yamaken, Zheng Yutong, Zheng Zhouyong, and Li Jianxi.
These are the representatives of Li Guangyu's need to form an alliance to resist the American consortium, for this cooperation with the Li family to acquire some industries in the United Kingdom, whether it is the Xiangjiang consortium or the Japanese and Korean consortiums, they are very happy in their hearts, and several cooperation with the Li consortium have allowed them to taste the sweetness, especially in the cooperation on the two iron mines in the Pilbara area, so that they have good benefits.
It is expected that by the end of next year, the Oriental Port in Western Australia and the Pidong Railway will be put into operation, and both Japan and South Korea will have a greater initiative in iron ore import prices.
Of course, these people are also very interested in Rolls-Royce, which is the engine technology they most want to get their hands on, especially the South Korean consortium, whether it is Zheng Zhouyong or his opponent Kim Woo-jung, they hope to get some automotive technology to improve the strength of their own car group.
Li Guangyu said: "Thank you very much for coming to today's party, at present, the US consortium is aggressive, manipulating the government in the US market to suppress our industry, and sniping at our development around the world, it can be said that the existence of the US consortium has seriously affected the development of our industrial globalization."
At present, the strength of all of us is still far from suppressing the American consortium, and now only by working together can we win space for the development of our industry. ”
Sumitomo Qiying, Zheng Zhouyong, Zheng Yutong and others have long known what Li Guangyu is doing when they invite them over this time, so they are not surprised by Li Guangyu's words.
In particular, the Japanese consortium used to be under great pressure to deal with the American consortium on their own, but now with the cooperation of the Lee consortium, the Xiangjiang consortium, and the Korean consortium, they are much less pressured.
Especially in the past two years, the energy of the American consortium has been dispersed by the Lee consortium, and it is impossible to focus on suppressing their enterprises at all.
At present, the U.S. market is still very anxious, and the Japanese consortium also hopes that the U.S. consortium will focus more on the British market, which may also allow their companies to have an advantage in the U.S. market.
The only thing that is not so sure here today is the British nobles, who came here today to attend the dinner, only to know that Li Guangyu actually invited so many people at the helm of the forces, especially the heads of the Japanese foundation, who came here in person, and they did not know what Li Guangyu was going to do.
Even if they are all aristocratic families for hundreds of years, their wealth is really a little incomparable to that of these people here today.
The Duke of Westminster is calmer here, he can at least compare with some families in terms of financial resources.
Sumitomo Kiei echoed and said: "The American consortium relies on the US government, thinking that it is also a superpower in the economic world, and does not tolerate the rise of any force.
The only person who can be friends with the American consortium is the docile little brother, and even some industries will be controlled by them, otherwise as long as there is still the intention of rising, it will be suppressed by the American consortium. ”
Everyone present wants to become a hegemon, no one wants to be a docile dog, and the approach of the American consortium has become a thorn in everyone's side.
Both the Japanese consortium and other forces hope to suppress the American consortium, and as long as they do not have the economic strength to be strong, no matter how large the consortium is, it will continue to decline.
Li Guangyu said: "In order to snipe at the expansion of our industry, the investment companies under the four major consortiums of Morgan, Rockefeller, First Citigroup and California are already investing in and acquiring our target companies.
They have long been informed of the acquisition of gas, electricity and water companies by American consortiums.
Therefore, the joint venture company negotiated with the Lee consortium has also been put on hold for the time being, and they must renegotiate the cooperation plan, otherwise it will be impossible for this joint venture company alone to repel the American consortium and obtain shares in these companies.
Now it seems that in order to deal with the American consortium, the Lee consortium has pulled all its powerful allies over, which is preparing to compete with the American consortium in the British market.
The Duke of Westminster knew that if he was not ready to cooperate this time, then the Lee Consortium would definitely not consider them again, and the strength of his own people was far from being comparable to that of the Japanese Consortium.
And if they join this cooperation, I'm afraid they won't be able to take the initiative, this time Li Guangyu opened such a discovery position, the investment will definitely not be small, and they don't have too much money to enter here.
As for cooperating with the American consortium, the Duke of Westminster didn't think about it at all, if it was possible, they hoped that these Eastern capitals could teach the descendants of criminals and vagrants a hard lesson here, and let them know that this was not the American market, not a place for them to do whatever they wanted.
The Duke of Westminster said: "Mr. Li, in this way, the investment will be quite large, I don't know what your plan is?"
"Mr. Duke, this time I plan to set up a joint venture company by you, Mr. Sumitomo and Mr. Zheng Zhouyong, as well as the four of us, to acquire these enterprises, as for the shares, we will come according to the strength of all parties, I plan to invest 50 billion US dollars in this investment company to acquire the industry, and the later acquisition will be provided by Sumitomo, Sakura, Tianyu, Dai-ichi Quanye and other banks to provide loans. ”
Listening to Li Guangyu's 50 billion US dollars, they put down their hearts instead, so that they would not occupy a small stake.
There is nothing wrong with bank loans in the later stages, and they know that these banks are the top banks in the Asian region, and they are very strong, and it is not a problem to provide funds to acquire these companies.
The Duke of Westminster said with a smile: "Mr. Li, gentlemen, we are very willing to cooperate with you, the hand of the American consortium is too long, I hope that this time in our domestic market can let them return home, I don't know how the shares will be divided this time?"
This is not only a problem for the Duke of Westminster, but also a concern for people such as Sumitomo Kiei and Zheng Zhouyong.
Li Guangyu said: "I personally think that Mr. Sumitomo has a 35% share, we have a 30% share in Xiangjiang, the Duke of Westminster, you have a 20% share, and Mr. Zheng Zhouyong has a 15% share, I believe this is a very reasonable distribution." ”
Sumitomo Kiei has no opinion on his side, he thought that the Li consortium would occupy the majority this time, but he didn't expect it to be their side, their six major Japanese consortia plus the Ito and Fujiwara families, 35% of the shares can already be satisfied.
Although the shares in South Korea are the least, Zheng Zhouyong and Li Jianxi have no opinion, the strength of these families in South Korea is not too strong, and the wealth is not comparable to those families in Xiangjiang, and they are very satisfied with being able to occupy 15% of the shares.
As for the Duke of Westminster, such a share was beyond their expectations, if you ask which side has the lowest strength here, it must be them, needless to say, the Japanese Foundation and the Lee Foundation, they can only look up.
The strength of the Korean consortium is far stronger than theirs, even the Xiangjiang consortium from the Xiangjiang side is also strong.
And that's it, Li Guangyu let them occupy 20% of the shares, which is much higher than the South Korean consortium, and the Xiangjiang Consortium and the Lee Consortium only occupy 30% of the shares, which is enough to see how much concession Lee Guangyu has made for this cooperation.
