Chapter 383: Arthur's Smoke Bomb
After many days, Arthur and Wu Qiang and Muzi got together again, and the atmosphere between them was naturally relaxed and naturally harmonious, especially Wu Qiang, who had warmly entertained Arthur in the capital, as soon as the two sides met, they were a warm hug with happy laughter.
When he saw Sister Zhilin accompanying Arthur, Wu Qiang and the eldest son of Muzi both looked at each other and smiled, and after shaking hands with the elegant and gentle Sister Zhilin, Wu Qiang did not forget to tease Arthur.
"Your Excellency Arthur, I finally know where your love for the Celestial Empire comes from. ”
"Haha... ”
The eldest prince of Muzi laughed very cooperatively, while Arthur shook his head and smiled, not caring about Wu Qiang's ridicule at all, helping Sister Zhilin take off the big red windbreaker outside and put it aside, and Sister Zhilin, who was wearing a black slim dress with a pair of over-the-knee black boots, sat down elegantly.
After Arthur, Wu Qiang, and Muzi sat down together, he said with a smile: "No way, I went to the Celestial Empire once, and I knew what it means to be amorous and exotic, which is really charming, intoxicating, and can't help myself!"
"Hahaha... ”
"Haha, you, you... ”
Whether it was the eldest prince of Muzi or Wu Qiang, he laughed heartily, originally blinking a pair of big eyes, smiling, and a little unknown Sister Zhilin, seeing the smiles and meaningful laughter of the three men, only then did she understand what Arthur meant, her ruddy cheeks became slightly red, she bowed her head slightly, and secretly stretched out her hand to Qi Arthur.
Then she smiled very elegantly and sat quietly, listening to the conversation of the three people, doing her 'vase' role very calmly, I have to say that Sister Zhilin is really a very smart woman.
For being qia, Arthur ignored it at all, just turned his face with a smile and glanced at the beautiful face of Sister Zhilin, who was becoming more and more feminine, and then smiled with Wu Qiang and Muzi Prince: "Let's serve the food first, let's talk while eating." ”
Wu Qiang and Muzi nodded with a smile, to be honest, getting along with Arthur, an earl from an old British aristocratic family, is really very relaxed and comfortable for them, there is no such stereotyped and restrained feeling in Britain at all, it is like getting along with people from the Celestial Empire, and these feelings are especially significant for Wu Qiang.
Soon, the restaurant brought a delicious dinner, Arthur picked up the red wine glass and Wu Qiang, the eldest son of the Muzi family touched the glass, and after taking a sip of red wine, he began to talk about business.
"The two of you should have received the company's listing briefing, do you have any comments on this?"
Wu Qiang and the eldest prince glanced at each other, and after smiling, Wu Qiang shook his head with a smile and said: "The coastal power plant can be listed, which is naturally a great thing that everyone is happy to see, I have no opinion on my side, and if there is any need, I am willing to fully cooperate!"
"My opinion is the same, if we can go public so quickly, then we should really thank you for letting our investment pay off so quickly. The eldest prince also smiled very elegantly.
"Hehe, thank you you don't have to, don't complain about me behind your back, it was too dark to sell your shares at the beginning... ”
"Haha. You're still as humorous as ever. ”
"Hehe, don't say it, you're really not cheap... ”
This time, including Sister Zhilin, all four laughed, and Sister Zhilin looked at Arthur, who was confident and calm, talking and laughing, and her beautiful eyes were full of admiration.
"Hehe, don't worry, as long as it goes public, you will all make a lot of money, invite two of you tonight, the main thing is one thing, tomorrow's board of directors, I hope you both can stand on the same front as me. ”
Arthur said as he cut the beef on the plate with a knife and fork as he smiled and looked up at the two opposites.
"ZF's representative, will he attend the board tomorrow?" Wu Qiang and the eldest prince looked at each other and asked with a slight frown.
Both of them know very well that Arthur is an absolute controlling shareholder, and as long as he wants, he can decide on his own without going through them at all, although in that case, it will appear that Arthur is too strong, and there may be some negative effects on the listed company.
Especially on the board of directors in which ZF representatives participate, if Arthur is too strong and does not care about the opinions of other shareholders, the negative impact will be even greater.
You know, although the public utilities in the UK are mainly private, ZF has gold shares.
Especially for key areas such as power companies and energy companies, ZF in the UK guarantees ZF's voice in core enterprises in the form of "golden shares", and any shareholding of more than 15% needs to be approved by the BU minister. Depending on the form of the enterprise, some "golden shares" will always exist in the enterprise, and the state-owned share of the enterprise will be maintained to ensure the interests of the state.
Unfortunately, when Arthur bought the Coastal Power Plant, ZF retained the gold shares when he sold his shares, which was useless on weekdays, but major events such as equity changes, company listing, and company mergers and acquisitions would appear.
"Yes, gold stocks, how could they not appear in such a big event as listing, I think Victor should be familiar with this. Arthur smiled and looked at the eldest prince.
You must know that since 2000, Muzijia has been "testing the waters" in the UK, such as developing real estate, and also won the fourth largest telecommunications company ThreeUK at a price of 3.6 billion pounds.
Master Muzi stretched out his hand and pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, nodded with a light smile and said, "They have no reason to oppose the company's listing, do they?"
"Hehe, even if they oppose it, won't we go public?" Arthur shook his head and smiled, and continued, "What I want is for everyone to be happy... Wu, that's right, right?"
"Hehe, very correct, your Chinese is getting better and better!" Wu Qiang said with a smile.
"The key to learning a language is to have a language environment, to say it often, practice it in daily life, and integrate it into life to make significant progress!" Arthur smiled and glanced at the gentle sister Zhilin, who had been quiet all the time.
"Haha... Wu Qiang and the eldest prince shook their heads and chuckled, to be honest, for Arthur, a British nobleman, they really felt a little weird after contact, and at the same time, they were very cordial, to be honest, it was also a blessing to be able to find such a partner in a foreign country.
"By the way, Lord Arthur, I saw the acquisition plan after the financing from the listing briefing, and the plan that the ultimate goal is to buy British Power, are you serious?"
When he heard Wu Qiang ask this question, although the eldest prince of Muzi did not change his face and concealed it well, Arthur still noticed some changes in the other party.
In this regard, Arthur also expected that if his memory was not biased, the first big move of the Mu family after ten years of silence in the British market was the completion of the acquisition of British electricity.
And now, Arthur threw out his plan early, as if he was not afraid of others knowing about it, and bragged about the sponsors and brokers, just to let everyone know their ambitions, regardless of whether the acquisition can be completed in the end, but the bull must be blown out first.
As for the possible collision with the Muzi family's acquisition plan, Arthur didn't care, because, from the beginning, he knew that if he ran into a consortium like the Muzi family, he had no hope of winning at all.
Seeing the reaction of the eldest prince, Arthur couldn't help but feel a burst of amusement in his heart, hoping that his smoke bomb could fool everyone.
As for the collision of the acquisition target, the eldest son of Muzi naturally doesn't care about having such a small opponent as Arthur Boleyn, after all, the two sides are not at the same level, and if they really want to become bidding opponents, the only situation is that their Muzi family will bully Arthur to death.
To be honest, he did feel Arthur's ambition after seeing the listing briefing, but at the same time, he didn't expect that the other party's layout was somewhat similar to theirs.
Although he can despise Arthur in terms of funds and power, he cannot take it lightly and ignore the courage and ability of this young earl, so the eldest prince of Muzi reported to the board of directors of the group after seeing the listing briefing, hoping that the board of directors can speed up the decision-making process.
