Chapter 203 Making money is the rule, and profit represents justice

An empire overthrown by the enemy will rise again. But if it disintegrates from within, it will be gone forever.

"Hello, Ms. Angela, I'm Corinna, the meeting is over, okay, I'll rush over right away... ”

In the living room of the hotel, Angela, dressed in a red dress, hung up the phone, held her mobile phone in her hand, and walked into the large terrace with a charming smile on her face.

"Good news?" Arthur smiled at Angela who came over and said, I have to say, her outfit made Arthur very amazing, you know, the red dress is not so easy to hold, but Angela can control it perfectly, not only can reflect the ability required as a female elite, but also so elegant, so beautiful.

After this period of contact, Arthur is very satisfied with Angela's abilities, especially such a smart beauty.

"Yes, the board is over, Corinna has rushed over, she wants to see you. Angela gracefully sat down across from Arthur and replied with a smile.

"It seems that the meeting was a good one, and it will not be too far away from completing the acquisition... Arthur picked up his coffee, took a sip in the bright sunshine, and savored the mellow aroma of the coffee.

"This time, she will come and tell us the actual economic situation of the power plant, so that we can make a more accurate share price, so that Barclays can fund us more smoothly and we can avoid doing business at a loss. Angela's eyes sparkled and she smiled.

"Oh, don't do anything illegal, this acquisition, we are completely sure, small means can be used, but if it affects the risk of acquisition, then there is no need to do it. Arthur frowned slightly, glanced at Angela lightly, and said without warning.

"Rest assured, boss, it's all within the framework of the business. Angela also replied with a serious expression, "If our acquisition of the power plant is successful, or the model of introducing new capital or going public directly, the rest is continuous copy and paste." And a bigger M&A scale means more revenue. ”

Arthur nodded slightly, he also had to admit that it was the capitalists who played a lot of money, and the entrepreneurs, known as the industrial tycoons, were still just a small diao in front of the financial predators.

The trilogy of fundraising, purchase, dismantling, restructuring, and listing is undoubtedly a magic weapon for winning with small and large profits and high profits.

About an hour later, around 11 a.m., Arthur met Corinna with two assistants, giving Arthur a little more respect for the power plant's negotiator.

Although Corinna had reached some tacit understanding with Angela before, she did not give up her professional ethics, betrayed the company's interests, and operated in the dark.

“。。。 Mr. Boleyn, this is the real economic situation of our power plant, and to be honest, the purchase price of 400 million pounds seems very high, but this price is also a serious underestimation of the true value of Bristol's coastal (gas) power station.

When Bristol's coastal (gas) power station was built, it was a £750 million investment in three phases, the first two of which had already been completed and were running well, bringing a steady stream of profits to the plant, but due to the financial crisis, the third phase of the project was not well funded, so it was shelved.

So, at this valuation, which is only a value that is in a downturn due to the general impact of the financial crisis, Bristol's coastal (gas) power station is really a very good asset. ”

Corinna's expression was serious and serious, and she introduced Arthur very frankly.

"Of course, I really recognise the Coastal Power Plant as a high-quality asset, otherwise I wouldn't have listed it as my wholly owned acquisition target. Arthur chuckled and nodded.

"Hehe, I also understand that you want your interests not to be damaged, and it is best to sell at as high a price as possible. However, Ms. Corinna, the account is not calculated like that, we don't care what the total investment scale was before, after all, there is still a phase of the project that has not been completed, and we don't care if it is in a period of low value, and to be honest, if it is not underestimated, I may not be willing to buy it.

You know, I'm not a fool as an acquirer, who wants to do it if there is no profit? That's why barbarians knock on the door, don't you say?"

In the face of such frank and sharp confession words of young Arthur, both Corinna and the other two members of the power plant negotiation team who came with her couldn't help but shake their heads slightly and smile wryly.

To tell the truth, at the purchase price of 400 million pounds, everyone knows that the value of the coastal power plant is undervalued, but the government, which cannot stand up to shaking half of the shares, is willing to sell it for 200 million pounds, so that the value of the coastal power plant is virtually fixed.

In the world of capital, making money is the rule, and profit represents justice.

Don't say what should be, what originally, for speculators, I'm sorry, I don't understand what you say!

They have a nose with a keen sense of smell, but can only smell money, and a pair of eyes that are good at discovering, but can only see money. Where there is money, there are them, and where there is them, there is war.

No wonder you can become a billionaire like a myth at such a young age, at this moment, Corinna and her two colleagues looked at Arthur with more helplessness and doubt.

The expression on Corinna's face changed several times, but finally she said as if she had made up her mind: "I'm sorry, Mr. Boleyn, although it is very presumptuous to ask this, but I still want to ask, can you be sure of the implementation of your long-term plan for the future of the coastal power plant? ”

These two questions made Angela's face on the side extremely ugly, her eyes looked at Corinna with some indifference, and she glanced at her young boss with some concern.

Arthur didn't feel unhappy because of these two presumptuous questions from the other party, just smiled indifferently and picked up the coffee cup, and after taking two sips, he put down the cup and looked at Corinna and said.

"I've heard an interesting quote about financial investors, whose relationship with the acquired company is like the relationship between Qing people. They are willing to take temporary responsibility for the acquisition of successful companies, but not forever.

They will live with her, feed and clothe her, and raise her beautifully, but they will not marry her home, and one day they will turn around and sell her, and then use the money they have earned to find a new love.

Of course, there are four no-becomes, such as stock speculation to become a shareholder, house speculation to become a landlord, pickling a girl to become a husband, and consultants to become employees. This is a stupid thing in their eyes ... ”

Saying that, Arthur also looked at Angela on the side with a smile, and Angela heard this, and when Angela heard this, she also changed from an indifferent face to a somewhat crying and laughing expression, shaking her head and laughing.

"Hehe, if I really want to learn to become a financial predator, I should really learn the ruthlessness of Wall Street, after all, this is the highest survival rule in the world of capital!

However, what I want to be is an entrepreneur who mixes in with the ranks of capitalists. I'm also going to buy companies over and over again, but the purpose of my acquisitions is to gain control so that I can run them completely and make a profit.

If the relationship between the capital tycoon and the acquisition company is compared to the qing person, then I think the relationship between me and the acquisition company is that of husband and wife, I want to marry her into the family, take my surname and take her name, run the family together, have children, and grow old together.

Even if one day I have to do a merger or reorganization, even if I agree to the merger and reorganization, I will still run the company myself. ”

Arthur looked at Corinna and her colleagues, who seemed to be greatly relieved by his words, and shook his head and smiled disapprovingly.

In fact, whether it is the other party's problem or their own ideas, it is nonsense now, once the acquisition is completed, it is not what you want, who can stop it.

After all, the world we live in is like a food chain, with both wolves and sheep, and if we keep ourselves strong, moral accusations are childish and useless. Investment is inherently an anti-human operation, and the higher the requirements for people, the greater the achievements that can be obtained.

And if you want to become strong, you must at least use reason to defeat emotions, goals to defeat YW, and diligence to defeat laziness, so that you will not become a leek.
