Chapter 420: Burning Money Wildly
What does Coast want to do in the future after the IPO?
This is the question Arthur asks the most, and Arthur admits – "Attract good talent, buy companies." ”
Successfully listed, it became a power generation company with a market value of more than one billion. As a listed company, how to continue to create value for the coastal company, the areas that may be used in the future and the companies that it invests in and acquire, are all topics of most concern to the outside world.
Buyers are often financial elites, business executives, or members of wealthy families. The Financial Times, the UK's most high-end newspaper, has published four articles in its series of "Focus on Arthur Boleyn's Listing", ranging from Arthur Boleyn's entrepreneurial story of "acquiring the Coastal Power Plant" to the listing of the Coastal Power Plant's shareholding structure.
From the analysis of the expansion of the "Gaiden" Arthur Boleyn power empire to the impact of the "impact game" on the power stock market of the listing of coastal power plants, four different dimensions have made a comprehensive and multi-angle analysis of the coastal power plants before and after the listing.
As the final article in the series, they have taken a closer look, focusing on the future focus of Arthur Boleyn's efforts, and the companies that may be acquired by the successful financing of the coastal power plant in the future, and the names are listed one by one.
On March 18, Coastal Power Plant officially landed on the London Stock Exchange, successfully raising 530 million pounds, becoming the most popular IPO in the UK in recent times. On the first day of trading, the stock price soared, closing at 7.45 pounds, and the market value was close to $2.6 billion at one point, almost flashing the eyes of many people.
This also made Arthur smile all day long, almost his face stiffened, and he muttered vigorously No wonder everyone is willing to go public, of course, Wu Qiang of Quanta Group and the eldest son of the Muzi family are also smiling stiffly, as for those company executives, they are completely crazy!
At the celebration reception that night, Taylor Swift, who was wearing a white diamond-encrusted V-neck dress, accompanied Arthur intimately and attracted everyone's attention.
However, the investors and bankers who were present quickly surrounded Arthur, and while they celebrated, the first question asked was strikingly similar, that is, related to the future development strategy of the coastal company.
It's just that Arthur, who responded with a smile, did not reveal the specific strategic layout for the future. He said that what to do in the future will depend on what kind of companions, and also left a statement that made everyone present more imaginative, and the future expansion will not be limited to electricity, but will also have a wider range of industry-wide expansion. It will focus on the layout of the renewable energy field.
Acquisition of the UK Power Grid?
Arthur smiled and asked, "Will it be sold?"
According to the crazy M&A plan rumored before the listing of the coastal company, the industry generally believes that the wave of mergers and acquisitions after the listing of the coastal company will start soon. Arthur Boleyn's ambitions are not even entirely set on the UK, which may also include overseas markets such as the US.
During the reception, he was forced by some big investors to be helpless, and Arthur explained for the first time the fate of the funds raised near the end of the reception.
"I never say big things, the acquisition plan before the company's listing is indeed just a vision for the future, but I can guarantee that, believe me, everyone will hear good news recently, and I will not let down the people who support me!"
With Arthur's remarks, all the investors present were filled with unlimited imagination. This also allowed the share price of Coastal Power Plant to continue to be pushed higher on the second day of listing.
In the conference room of the starting point investment company in the City of London, last night I enjoyed the infinite gentleness of Taylor Swift, who was honored and excited because of his success, and Arthur, who was in good spirits on happy occasions, sat at the head of the conference room with a smile on his face, looking at the subordinates in the conference room who were also full of joy, as well as the representatives of the two major shareholders, Quanta Wu Qiang, and the eldest son of the Muzi family, and smiled happily.
"Hehe, I believe that many people will have a sleepless night like me. ”
"Hahaha... ”
The room was filled with laughter.
"Well, after a few months of busyness and urgency, the company has finally been successfully listed, and the funds have been raised, and after the fun, it is time for us to start the plan. ”
Arthur said in high spirits, raised his hand to the secretary on the side, and distributed a document to everyone.
"I told you before that my acquisition plan, the company was busy with the listing work, and I didn't explain it in detail, this plan is the acquisition plan we will implement next. ”
Arthur shook the document in his hand in the air, and then continued: "Before that, I have arranged a negotiation team to communicate and negotiate with these companies in advance, and my purpose in doing this is not only to save time, but also to stimulate our stock with this big benefit.
To tell the truth, we are a newly listed power company, and this kind of traditional enterprise in the financial market, there is no way to compare with those Internet listed companies that speculate on concepts.
Don't look at the current stock price all the way up, that's just because of the new shares, and the reason why we were interested in hyping the acquisition concept before. If we can't get results after a long time, the stock price will be immediately beaten back to its original shape, and I think all of you here should be very clear about this, and you should not want to see it.
Therefore, our acquisition is to make everyone, the financial market, investors, and speculators surprised and shocked quickly, and only in this way can we consolidate the market value that we have been blown into a big bubble, and can we make investors believe that our stock price is proportional to the value of the company!"
Arthur's sonorous and powerful words, said that everyone present nodded in agreement, and looked at Arthur's young handsome face with burning eyes, and was really emotional about the courage of the young boss and the degree of control over people's hearts.
"Angela, can you introduce you—" Arthur smiled and turned his head to Angela, who was third on his left, dressed in a black professional suit.
"Okay, boss. Angela smiled and nodded, then nodded confidently and gracefully and with all the eyes cast at her, she said in a clear voice: "According to the owner's intention and decision, we have successively inspected the domestic wind farm with 194 megawatts and 54 turbine generators on the coast of Lincolnshire, the 26 megawatt wind farm in Foudnd Gorge in Aberdeenshire, and the green offshore wind power in Edinburgh.
The three wind power companies, all of which are part of the UK's largest natural gas supplier, are currently negotiating with each other for a £423 million deal worth £115 million, representing a £70 million investment profit.
The existing energy procurement contracts indicate that by 2024, Centric Group will need to procure 100% of the electricity generated by wind farms and 50% of renewable energy licensing obligations, and Centric Group will continue to provide the operation of its projects. Maintenance support until March 2017.
For us, wind power is a space that offers smaller-correlated, inflation-related, long-term returns, as well as risk-adjustable, attractive returns... ”
As Angela explained, everyone in the conference room listened attentively, and began to look through the documents in their hands for a more detailed understanding.
