“。。。 With the current oversupply and oversupply of fuel in the UK gas market, and the contract price of natural gas has fallen across the board, the profits of our power plants will increase significantly this winter. ”

After the CEO of the power plant, Corinna, finished summarizing, and nodded slightly to Arthur.

Arthur smiled and motioned for the other party to continue the meeting, he was sure that he had only come with ears this time, but to be honest, even if he was asked to speak, he would not be able to tell a reason.

After listening for a full hour, the meeting ended, and Arthur, accompanied by Corinna and Angela, returned to his office.

"Corinna, what's new about financing?"

As soon as he sat down, Arthur asked him about the question he was most concerned about, before that, the news that the Bristol Coast Gas Power Plant had decided to sell part of its stake to the outside world and carry out the financing of the third phase of the project had already been released as he ordered.

Although the valuation of the power plant is much higher than when Arthur bought it, almost to the point of desperate money, several foreign funds and companies still send offers for negotiations.

The consortium led by the Maple Leaf Nation's pension plan investment committee, the Celestial Empire's Quanta Group, and the Feldspar Group, which is controlled by the Muzi family of Herijiang, much to Arthur's surprise, are all interested in this part of the Coastal Power Plant.

"The key issue that has hampered the negotiation process is the valuation of the power plant's assets, the valuation of 750 million pounds, which is difficult for all three to accept, and they believe that we are not sincere, and the Maple Leaf Pension Plan Investment Committee has suspended negotiations with us.

At present, the negotiations with the Celestial Empire's Quanta Group and Feldspar Group are still deadlocked, because it is close to Christmas, and the negotiations are now on hold. Corinna reported helplessly.

Seriously, the current situation of the negotiation can't be blamed on the incompetence of their subordinates, the key is to meet a boss who wants money to die, and the room for maneuver in the negotiation is too small, and it is not easy to leave two acquisition companies, mainly because the other two companies really want to join.

Although Arthur was a little surprised that the Celestial Empire's Quanta Group and the Muzi family's Feldspar Group were able to hold on to the present, he was also able to understand the true purpose of the other party, especially the Quanta Group, the other party was undoubtedly a drunkard.

Don't think that most developed countries, especially the relevant countries in Europe, are currently caught in a vicious circle, affected by the global financial crisis, have reduced international investment, streamlined and stripped international assets, and really think that this is creating an opportunity for Celestial Empire enterprises to go global.

Sometimes, money is not necessarily everything, especially with the increasing protection of the region, which increases the risk factor of the investment environment, and, in many cases and projects, the scrutiny of enterprises in some countries is more stringent!

The reality is that there are still significant barriers to entering the markets of developed countries, and there are both challenges and opportunities for foreign direct investment.

Therefore, in order to carry out overseas acquisitions smoothly, strengthen public relations, avoid ZZ blame, do a good job in ZF public relations in the process of mergers and acquisitions, maintain good communication with some forces and departments, and obtain support and cooperation, sometimes, it is more important than more money.

Perhaps Arthur's coastal power plant is indeed a good asset in a valuation depression, but Arthur's speculation and desperate demand for money have caused some bubbles in the asset valuation of the Bristol Coast gas power plant, and even so, the two companies still insist on becoming shareholders of the power plant, which means that the other party is not just for commercial interests.

Stepping stones, springboards...

Arthur shook his head and smiled, he really didn't care about the other party's true purpose at all, for him, as long as the other party could come up with the money, as for whether the money had other colors, he didn't care at all.

Looking at the young boss who suddenly shook his head and smiled, Corinna and Angela glanced at each other, Angela frowned slightly and said: "Boss, if we really want to promote the listing of the coastal power plant as soon as possible, we really need to complete the financing as soon as possible and introduce new shareholders, and the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable the external environment will be for our advantage!"

"Oh, what do you say?" asked Arthur, raising an eyebrow slightly, looking at Angela.

"The UK economy is on the brink of recession and faces the worst deficit burden since World War II.

Moreover, dragged down by the European debt crisis, there are currently quite a few European countries that are trying to increase revenue and reduce expenditure through privatization of state-owned assets. As far as I know, in addition to the UK, more than a dozen countries, including Greece and Spain, are preparing to sell or lease their assets to get out of their debt burdens.

The assets to be sold include the Guoying Energy Company, the aviation and metro service systems. In the next two years, there will be an unprecedented 'big auction' of assets in Europe.

Among them, Greece is undoubtedly the eurozone member with the most "dumping". Greece will raise about 50 billion euros by the end of 2015 through the privatization of state-owned enterprises, according to the privatization plan to be launched next year.

The privatization projects include the GUO Yingbo CAI Company, the Gas Company, the Railway Company, and even the GUO Defense Equipment Company, the Mining and Metallurgical Corporation, the Hellenic Post Bank, the Hellenic Agricultural Bank, the Hellenic Electricity Company, the Hellenic Vehicle Company, the Hellenic Telecommunications Company, the Hellenic International Airport and 39 regional airports, the Port of Piraeus, the Port of Thessaloniki, the Athens Water Company, etc. ”

Arthur was dumbfounded, this is really poor and crazy! Greece is almost selling the whole country!

“。。。 If we don't get the financing done sooner, some of our strengths will be lost over time and externally, because there are so many targets to choose from!"

To be honest, Angela was also a little anxious, she didn't expect that the situation would become like this, Greece was completely ready to start the fire sale mode, and if she wanted to go smoothly according to the original plan, it would not be possible if she was not in a hurry.

And Arthur was extremely depressed and a little panicked at the same time, he originally thought that his assets were a hot commodity, but now he knows that it won't be long before the whole of Europe will become a hypermarket, and his little thing will really be of no one interest at that time...

"So, Corinna, you immediately inform the negotiators of the Celestial Empire's Quanta Group and Herijiang's Feldspar Group that negotiations will begin tomorrow morning to negotiate a new plan with an asset valuation of 600 million pounds and a cap of 15 percent of each company's shares.

Trying to initialle the agreement before Christmas, telling them that we are preparing for the IPO by bringing in shareholders, and I am sure they will not turn down this opportunity to make money!"

Arthur knew that he had to make a decision, and that he was racing against time to get people on board.

Angela and Corinna were slightly shocked when they heard the boss's decision, but they did not refute the boss's decision, and then heard Arthur continue: "Tell all the employees that they can buy the original shares of the power plant at a valuation of 400 million pounds in total assets, only ten percent of the shares, this is the only benefit that my new boss can give them before the company's shareholding reform, I hope to grasp it!"
