Li Guangyu's side is developing step by step, but the acquisition of the British side has entered a white heat, and the two sides have increased the purchase price again and again, and the purchase price of many companies has reached or exceeded their expectations.

The most important thing is that when Yingya Investment Company competed with Yingli Investment Company, capital from other places also joined in, hoping to bite a piece of meat in this privatization of England.

This time West German capital has been brought in, with a focus on Rolls-Royce and Statoil.

In addition, the royal families of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait are not willing to be lonely, and the two sides jointly quote the British National Oil Company, hoping to get this company with many technologies, so that they can transform from crude oil to products, deepen the industrial chain, and obtain more benefits.

The current British market is a crowd of competitors, everyone wants to win their favorite company, and the current British national oil company has become the focus of competition for all parties.

At this critical moment, Lee Kwang-woo, Sumitomo Ki-young, Iwasaki Toshi-ei, Lee Jian-hee, and Chung Yu-tong went to London again to personally direct the company's acquisition.

Within Anglo-Asia Investment, several shareholders were briefed on the acquisition by the company, its senior management, and the current situation in England.

Listening to the bids of the two royal families of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, even Toshihide Iwasaki, who is at the helm of Mitsubishi, Japan's second largest consortium, is frowning, these two companies do not treat money as money at all.

At present, the total shares of the British National Oil Company are 1.5 billion shares, and the unit price on the stock market is 27.6 pounds per share, and the British government controls 65% of the shares.

At present, the Anglo-Asian Investment Company is quoted at a price of 31.2 pounds per share to acquire the shares in the hands of the British government, and according to the information learned by the Anglo-Asian Investment Company, the latest quotation of the Saudi Investment Company jointly established by Saudi Arabia and the Kuwaiti royal family is 35 pounds per share, which means that it will take 34.125 billion pounds to eat the shares in the hands of the British government.

At the current exchange rate between the pound and the US dollar, this has exceeded 50 billion US dollars, that is, the union of several major consortiums, otherwise it is difficult for a single consortium to eat in one bite, even if the strength of these consortiums is very large, it is very difficult to take out so much money at one time without affecting the development of the consortium.

Now Li Guangyu has only discovered that he has underestimated the financial resources of those local tyrants in the Middle East, and he used to mainly pay attention to American conglomerates, Japanese conglomerates, Western European conglomerates, and even Southeast Asian Chinese consortia and Korean consortia, and even Canadian and Latin American and Australian families and consortia have paid attention, but he has missed the Middle East.

Look at this time, the investment companies that the two royal families are preparing to set up bid more than $50 billion without blinking their eyes, which shows how strong the financial resources of these two royal families are.

In Li Guangyu's impression, there is nothing worth paying attention to in the Middle East except for oil, and the only thing he likes is oil, he has not entered the oil industry before, and the enhanced version of its own business has not been carried out in the Middle East, so he does not know the specific situation here.

Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, in particular, were two royal families that controlled the country for hundreds of years, and although there were some twists and turns in the middle of the Saudi royal family, they quickly regained control of the country.

Over the centuries, and especially in this century, the demand for oil has skyrocketed around the world, making these oil-exporting countries hugely profitable, and both Saudi Arabia and Kuwaiti royalty are very wealthy.

Anglo-Asian Investments has already spent nearly $20 billion on the acquisition of natural gas and water companies, and if they want to eat Rolls-Royce, British National Petroleum and British Steel, the more than $30 billion on the company's books will not be enough.

Judging from the current situation, Li Guangyu and his team need to provide at least $50 billion in support to Anglo-Asian Investment Company.

Sumitomo Kiying opened his mouth and said: "The British government is playing very well this time, deliberately throwing out such a big piece of fat for us to fight for, they have completed their own economic reforms and obtained huge financial revenues at the same time, to be honest, now, such a price has far exceeded the value of the British oil company itself, I hope you can carefully consider before deciding whether we want to continue to follow up." ”

Their Sumitomo Consortium is not a tycoon in the Middle East, their money is not easy to make, they are all painstakingly operated, where there are countless black gold buried in the ground like the Middle East, there is no need for them to rack their brains to think about how to develop the company and the group.

The price of £35 is far beyond their expectations, and Sumitomo Kirei believes it is also beyond the expectations of the American consortium.

The market value of the industries under the control of their consortium is indeed huge, but it is also the market value, even if the assets under their control reach trillions, this acquisition has to be taken out in cash, and it is impossible for him to interfere with the normal development of the Sumitomo consortium because of this acquisition.

Li Guangyu is not in a hurry to buy an oil company at the moment, and it doesn't matter if he can buy it best or not, and now Zhang Ziyu and the British government have almost negotiated the technology transfer of steel companies.

On the British side, except for the power company acquisition that did not achieve the goal, he has already made other gains.

After Sumitomo Qiying's voice fell, he said: "Everyone, now that all forces have set their eyes on this oil company, we might as well take a look at the reaction of the American consortium and the West German consortium first, and at this time maybe we should consider some other companies in the UK, and we don't need to focus only on these companies." ”

Sumitomo Qiying and Li Jianxi and others know that Li Guangyu doesn't care whether these companies can be acquired or not, and the major groups under the Lee consortium are expanding frantically, just a few days ago, Xiangyu Culture Group announced that it will establish Xiangyu comic theme parks in Seoul, Tokyo, Taipei, Singapore and other places at the same time.

On the Xiangjiang side, it was announced that it would build another university town, and a number of its groups were involved in the development of it.

Several major real estate groups in Japan have also launched the prelude to crazy expansion, and now the Lee consortium has not paid much attention to estimating the acquisition of the British side.

If it weren't for Sumitomo Qiying and Li Guangyu talking on the phone this time and inviting Li Guangyu to come to England before, I'm afraid that Li Guangyu wouldn't have the heart to come.

Although the South Korean consortium represented by Lee Jianxi had the intention of taking the British Oil Company, looking at such a high price, they also felt that it was unnecessary to enter the bidding in this way when comparing the strength of their own side.

Saudi Investment Corp first quoted £35 per share, which is definitely not their final offer, and it is likely to be a loss-making business for Anglo-Asian Investment Co., Ltd.

Unlike the royal families of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, with this oil company, they can increase the value of their products, and they don't need to export crude oil on a large scale to sell their products for higher profits, so they don't care about buying them at a higher price.

"I also think we can wait and see how the other parties react, although we also have a great demand for oil, but it is not cost-effective to send money to the British government," Li said. ”
