Controlling the food, clothing, shelter, and transportation of 70 million people is an exaggeration. However, Angela's series is almost completely complete, and he Arthur can indeed control the lives of some Britons.

It's just that the money needed is too big and the plan is crazy, but he is very interested, very interested.

To put it back, for Arthur, he knows very well how much he can gain by investing in gold and finance, so in the future, having a lot of money in his own hands may not be the best investment. Because only by circulating the funds will there be more benefits.

Compared with the U.S. market, the U.S. market is in a declining situation, and businessmen prefer to invest in the bottom. Investing in the UK market, you can buy at a low price and sell at a high price.

Secondly, the planning of this investment is basically a scarce infrastructure resource, with less risk, relatively stable returns, and no policy changes, so it will not be subject to too much BO movement.

Since ancient times, it has been more difficult to keep a business than to start a business.

"Bristol's Coast (Gas) Power Station... Arthur looked at the first project to be acquired in the plan, muttering the name on his lips, but his eyes were on Angela on the other side.

"Yes, Mr Boleyn, it only takes about £200 million to get fifty per cent of the shares and interests, and according to what I have learned, the main reason why the Centrica Group will sell half of the shares and interests in a coastal power plant is because of the global financial crisis. Energy prices plummeted. Companies of all sizes in the industry have been hit by cash flow and financing costs.

At the same time, the Office of the Gas and Electricity Regulatory Office conducted a market survey on energy sales in response to the rapid rise in prices. While affirming the results of market development, the survey report also sorted out all aspects of the market and believed that there were many areas for improvement.

Subsequently, the Regulatory Office issued a series of measures requiring electricity sales companies to increase the transparency of electricity tariffs, ensure that electricity tariffs reflect costs, simplify the process of changing companies, monitor the marketing practices of electricity sales companies, and report on the performance of electricity sales and power generation separately.

These two unrelated events have objectively led to a turning point in the electricity sales market. In previous years, the market was characterized by deregulation and companies enclosing the market with low margins. The pressures of the economic environment in '08 have led many electricity sales companies to adjust their strategies and focus on ensuring profit margins from this year.

On the other hand, marked by the energy market survey, there has been a significant change in the direction of market regulation. From the previous focus on establishing market frameworks and rules, it has begun to be more involved in the specific operation of the company.

Although this regulates the operation of many electricity sales companies on the one hand, it reduces the flexibility and diversity of the company's operation on the other hand. Regulatory changes mean that pricing for segments has become more difficult.

Centrica Group is willing to sell half of the shares and interests in Bristol's coastal gas plant, not only to get a part of the cash flow, but more importantly, to split the performance of the power generation department, after all, the regulatory office is involved in the specific operation of the company, and the Centrica Group is constrained.

The introduction of a third party can not only get funding, but also get rid of the entanglement with the regulatory office and avoid confrontation. ”

When Angela heard that Arthur had officially entered the topic, she immediately began to analyze it, and at the same time, she was greatly relieved, she knew that her efforts had been successful.

Sure enough, Arthur did not disappoint her, looking at the detailed description of the past and present life of British power on the Chinese document, as well as the information of the six major forces occupying the electricity market, listening to a very professional analysis, he looked up at Angela and smiled: "You were hired, so call me boss." ”

"Thank you to the owner for giving me the opportunity, thank you. Angela heard Arthur's words, her cheeks showed a look of relief and joy, suppressed the excitement in her heart, and said very gratefully.

"I admire your talent and abilities. Arthur smiled and waved his hand, and continued to get down to business disapprovingly: "In other words, for the Centrica Group, selling the power plant is a win-win situation, and I not only have to pay a huge amount of money, but also use them as a shield and entangle with the regulatory authorities?"

"Boss, that's not how the accounts are calculated. Angela also changed her serious expression at this time, and said with a more relaxed smile: "For 200 million pounds, you can get half of the equity of a power plant, become the largest shareholder, the controller, and this is the most critical step for us to successfully carry out the follow-up plan."

The power station itself is also a high-quality asset, gas power, which is a clean, low-carbon energy source. In the context of greenhouse gas emissions becoming a global focus issue, clean and low-carbon are the future development direction.

At the same time, we don't need to worry about the sale of the electricity generated, Centrica Group will eat it all, and you can sit back and receive a profit dividend.

As long as we get through the second step of the plan, it's time for me to have a headache for the Centrica Group!"

Arthur raised his eyebrows slightly, flipped through the plan in his hand, and looked at the second step of the plan, which was impressively written 'to complete the acquisition of Wales and Western Utilities', followed by an introduction to Wales and Western Utilities.

British Gas Wales and Western Utilities. The distribution network serves 7.4 million customers, covering nearly one-sixth of the UK. The target purchase price is between £600 million and £700 million...

The Centrica Group was established on the basis of the natural gas sales and trading department of British Gas after the privatization of that year.

If you really complete these two steps by then, you can really easily get rid of the constraints of Centrica Group and become the new energy upstart in the UK.

"Hehe, one ring after another, I like this plan!" Arthur looked down the more he thought about it, the brighter the smile on his face became, and he looked at Angela opposite with satisfaction and smiled.

Angela also smiled brightly and said: "This plan, there are still many details to further improve, I will gather a team as soon as possible to analyze and improve the plan, you see, are we starting to contact the Centrica Group?"

I think it's no secret that the Centrica Group is going to sell its stake in the coastal power station, and we can't be the only ones interested in it. ”

Hearing Angela's concern, Arthur nodded, the news spread, and they must not be the only ones who are interested, especially the various national funds and business giants that have taken advantage of the financial crisis to buy the bottom everywhere, as well as the Celestial Empire funds that are about to start the global buying, buying, buying and buying mode, may become their opponents.

Even if he is fortunate not to meet this time, he will meet sooner or later, and now he does not have the confidence to wrestle with those big conglomerates and compete, so the only thing he can do is to strike first.

"Yes, I won't be leaving London during this time, and I can just set up a team of advisors, and I believe that finding talent in the British investment community will not be difficult for you, right? Arthur said to Angela with a smile.

"Yes, tomorrow, I can gather some professionals to come over for an interview. Now that there is such a billionaire boss as Arthur, Angela said confidently.

"Then go and prepare, I have asked Smith Jama to rent an office unit upstairs, and let Smith take you up to see what you need in a while, tell Smith, he will arrange for someone to clean up and tidy up, and from tomorrow, you, the chief adviser of the advisory group, can officially take office!" Arthur said with a smile.

"Thank you, boss, and thank you again for giving me this opportunity. This time, Angela stood up and thanked Arthur very solemnly.

Arthur smiled and nodded, looking at the back of Angela leaving, Arthur can fully understand her mood at this moment, many people and things, only when they are at a low point, can they understand thoroughly, see the truth, and officially because of this experience, they will cherish the opportunity even more.

Arthur, who was sitting in the boss's chair, sighed, in this world, there has always been little charcoal in the snow, and after falling into the well abounds, looking at the future planning book in his hand, he couldn't help but show a wry smile.

Where did he get so much money?!

He knows his own business, and his current worth may not be enough for 200 million pounds, of course, after a while, when gold rises sharply, his worth will definitely be more than this, but now he can't take it out.

Moreover, it is a bit unwise to give up the financial investment that is sure to make money and lose money, and smash it all into the industry.

"It seems that we can only play M&A financing!" Arthur muttered to himself as he muttered to himself with a bright glint in his eyes.
