When Li Guangyu was holding a celebratory reception for the victory of the British-funded consortium, Du Yuemei's negotiations with the British Telecom Group also came to an end.

This time, because there is no trouble between the Swire group and some families, Du Yuemei does not need to repeatedly raise the price to make acquisitions.

Since the British government has taken out the telecommunications group for privatization, it proves that the current telecommunications group is only a burden of the British government, and its internal finances must be worried, and it would be good for them to take over with its market value. If it weren't for the approval of Xiangjiang Airlines, Du Yuemei would not have offered such a price.

Originally, if the British government and the telecommunications group were not greedy, they would have had hundreds of millions of extra funds in their own group, forcing Li Sheng to think about forcibly acquiring Swire Group, and the extra funds used in Swire Group would naturally have to be made up from here.

So in this price negotiation, Du Yuemei pressed the market value of the telecom group quite low, which made the senior management of the telecom group have no heart to talk to Du Yuemei, they know that Du Yuemei will definitely reduce the price this time in the renegotiation, but they didn't expect Du Yuemei to be so ruthless.

The market value given to the telecom group last time was $3.2 billion, but this time it was directly halved, and only $1.6 billion was given. It's just a joke, if he and others agree to such a price for the Li consortium to buy, they will be tantamount to treason.

In the negotiations that day, the two sides broke up in displeasure, and these high-level officials contacted Thatcher, reported the details of the negotiations, and demanded that the joint venture with the Lee consortium be stopped.

Thatcher didn't expect Du Yuemei to change so much, and she could give such a price, which is not like the performance of wanting to invest in a telecom group.

Thatcher didn't want her first important project to be born like this, so she had to contact Du Yuemei again to have a discussion with her.

At the same time, he was also quite dissatisfied with the Swire Group and those families, if they hadn't intervened, there wouldn't have been so much trouble.

Thatcher is now facing increasing pressure, the British economy is still not improving, the government budget deficit is rising, domestic inflation is rising sharply, and she now urgently needs some consortium to invest in the country to improve the domestic economy.

If it weren't for this, Du Yuemei gave such a price, Thatcher wouldn't want to talk about it, although the telecom group has some problems in development, but it has not been sold cheaply to such a point.

After Du Yuemei came to the Prime Minister's Office, in the face of Thatcher's inquiry, she calmly replied: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, after we have learned about the situation of the Telecom Group in detail, we think that the market value of the Telecom Group is not much different from what we gave, and I think the price we give is quite reasonable." However, we know that the telecom group is operating at a loss every year, and your government has to invest about $5 million a year to ensure the operation of the telecom group. ”

Thatcher said: "Ms. Du Yuemei, I know that you are quite dissatisfied with the previous negotiations, but please show a little sincerity, it is impossible for our telecom group to transfer it to you at such a low price, and please don't be rash." ”

Du Yuemei didn't want to offend the British government too much, after all, many companies in the Li consortium still wanted to make money from them, but she was not willing to pay too high a price to buy the telecom group, and the reason why she shouted such a high price this time was to bargain.

Du Yuemei said: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, our Li Group is investing to make money, not to do charity, the telecom group is quite difficult, if you want to recover the cost, it is estimated that it will take ten years." Even for such a long time, this is not necessarily, we at the Li Group do not want a lot of money to be squeezed into this, and the market value of this group, I think your appraisal agency has seriously overestimated. ”

Thatcher was a little speechless, if the telecom group makes money, where will it be your Li consortium to come over for a joint venture, I am afraid that those local families will already surround it.

However, Thatcher felt that the Li Consortium was quite optimistic about the future development of the telecommunications industry, otherwise the Li Consortium would not have invested heavily in the transformation and upgrading of the Xiangjiang Telephone Group in Xiangjiang.

Thatcher said: "Ms. Du, I will not negotiate with businessmen, our government needs to reform now, and your Li consortium has done a very good job in this regard." After the transfer of the original Jaguar company to you, it has achieved very good development. I believe that the telecom group can also develop rapidly if it is operated by you. You and our government each make a concession, we don't need you to buy at a premium, and you don't want to buy at a low price, what do you think? ”

Although this price has reached her goal, she still hopes that the British government will give some permission to the Li Group in other aspects, so that the expansion of the Li Group in Xiangjiang will be smoother.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, we at the Lee Group are very supportive of the work of the local government in any region, and we also hope that the government will not treat us differently. In particular, Heung Kong, which is the foundation of our Lee Group. We won't talk about other places, but in Xiangjiang, we hope that the government can treat our Lee Group and the British consortium equally. ”

Thatcher did not immediately reply to Du Yuemei's question, jokingly, if the Li consortium is really treated in the same way as the British-funded consortium, I am afraid that the British-funded consortium will completely disappear in Xiangjiang. Now they have some special care from the Xiangjiang government, but they have all been suppressed by the Li consortium like this, and completely losing the preferential treatment of the government is definitely a disaster for the British-funded consortium.

Thatcher said: "Ms. Du, now your Li consortium has achieved the same treatment as the British-funded consortium in many places, and the Xiangjiang government basically has no restrictions on your Li consortium, and our government has always been very supportive of the development of Chinese enterprises in Xiangjiang." ”

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, we at the Lee Group believe that the power to issue notes in Hong Kong dollars is in the hands of HSBC and Standard Chartered, which is not conducive to the stability of the Hong Kong financial market. ”

Thatcher didn't expect the Li consortium to make such an inch, just broke the monopoly of the British-funded consortium Xiangjiang Airlines market, and now she is eyeing the right to issue notes in Hong Kong dollars, she will not agree with Du Yuemei's opinion, at least in this period.

Thatcher said: "Ms. Du, you have asked too much, and your Li consortium has too many things. Sometimes it is not good for you, we in England don't care, after all, we are a capitalist country, but over there in Xiangjiang, you and your Mr. Li Guangyu still have to think more, we welcome your Li consortium to come and invest, our government will definitely protect your assets, our private property is sacrosanct. ”

Du Yuemei knew that Thatcher wanted to bury a thorn in the heart of their Li group, which would be conducive to the negotiations between their government and the mainland, but she ignored this, she believed that Li Sheng had already considered it in her heart.

Du Yuemei said: "Thank you for your concern for our Lee Group, but we have great confidence in Hong Kong, and we believe that Hong Kong will develop better and better." As long as your government can treat the British-owned consortium and the Chinese family equally, I believe that the economy of Hong Kong will only get better and better. Over the past 100 years, the British-funded foreign banks in Hong Kong have decayed, and they are no longer able to carry the banner of Hong Kong's economic development. ”

Thatcher didn't find Du Yuemei and really didn't take the Xiangjiang British-funded consortium seriously, and at the same time she was very disappointed in the several major British-funded consortia in Xiangjiang.

Thatcher said: "As for the issue of the right to issue notes in Hong Kong dollars, this is a matter of great importance, and I cannot approve it at once, but we will talk about it after we have discussed it." ”
