The Queen of England asked curiously, "Earl Williams, wouldn't you mind telling us what your major investment is?"

"Of course I don't mind!" said Henry, "and my next few investments will have to be supported by the British government!"

"Please, if it makes sense, I'll help you convince the British government!" the Queen of England smiled at Henry.

"Then I'll say it one by one, first of all," Henry thought for a moment, "First of all, the British Thames Water Company, the British government put forward the policy of privatization of the water company in 1989, so I want to buy the British Thames Water Company, hoping to get the British government's consent!"

Thames Water is the third largest water company in the world, with operations concentrated in the United Kingdom and the United States. The first largest water company is the well-known Vivendi, and the second largest water company is Suez Lyon Water. To put it simply, it refers to the industrial chain composed of raw water, water supply, water conservation, drainage, sewage treatment and water recycling, and the waterworks are only a part of the water company!

If Henry wants to buy the British Thames Water Company, it is equivalent to controlling the water use of most of Britain and part of the United States, and its identity and status will be greatly improved!

Water is the source of life, and controlling the water in the UK is equivalent to controlling the lifeblood of the UK!

Henry thought to himself that even if he did not buy the British Thames Water Company, then in 2000, it would be acquired by the German RWE Group for more than 4 billion US dollars. Since the German company can buy it, it should be able to do it yourself!

Sure enough, Henry's words were heard. The Queen of England immediately said: "There should be no problem with this, but the price is ...... His Excellency Earl Williams. How much are you going to pay for Thames Water?"

"$4 billion!" Henry replied with a casual expression, as if $4 billion were a pile of waste paper.

Current purchasing power in the US dollar. $4 billion is definitely much more expensive than $4 billion in 2000, and Thames Water is still growing, so it can be inferred that the price of $4 billion is definitely far more than the market value of Thames Water!

A middle-aged man looked surprised and hurriedly whispered something in the ear of the Queen of England.

The Queen of England listened and nodded.

Henry saw the Queen of England talking to the middle-aged man, so he picked up his glass and drank slowly, waiting for them to finish talking. Henry continued.

After a while, the Queen of England said to Henry: "Your Excellency the Earl Williams, the purchase of the British Thames Water Company is not a big problem, please move on to the next investment!"

"Okay," said Henry, "and the second investment is, I want to buy the British energy company!"

In 1989, not only the water company was privatized, but also the power company was privatized. In the end, it was divided into many power generation companies. However, the transmission company is still exclusively operated by the State Grid Corporation! The British energy company that Henry wants to buy belongs to the nuclear power plant and controls 8 of the 10 operating nuclear power plants in the UK!

Thermal power generation, hydropower. The technical content of wind power or something is a bit low, so Henry wants to buy a nuclear power plant. At present, the most mainstream is still thermal power plants. But pollution is severe, and nuclear power generation is the future. It has a large power generation capacity and little air pollution. And there will be more uses for nuclear research!

Currently, UK Energy can generate 31.5% of the UK's electricity, which is a very high market capitalisation.

If you control Britain's water use and Britain's electricity consumption, both the Queen of England and the Prime Minister of Britain must pay special attention to themselves! If you "sneeze" yourself, Britain will shake!

Henry thought for a moment and added, "About $20 billion!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone was shocked and speechless, first 4 billion US dollars, now 20 billion US dollars, the company is getting bigger and bigger, and it actually wants to buy the largest nuclear energy company in the United Kingdom - British Energy Company!

Prince Andrew next to him was simply stunned at the moment, although he was from the Swedish royal family, he really didn't have much money. Henry opened his mouth and closed his mouth to tens of billions of dollars, and the $250 million he had just quoted was too cold in front of him! Although Prince Andrew knew that Henry was the richest man, he had never seen such a lavish spend!

Prince Andrew said that he was shallow in his knowledge, he had never seen such a trench, and he even suddenly had the illusion that he was not a prince, but a beggar......

At this time, the Queen of England asked, "Earl Williams, what other company are you planning to buy?"

Having controlled hydropower, the next thing is finance.

"Your Majesty, you know, I bought the Bank of Bahrain before. ”

"Yes, I know that, the money of the British royal family is still in the hands of your Bahrain Bank for investment management!" said the Queen of England.

"In order to expand the size and profitability of the Bank of Bahrain, I will buy a number of banks in the UK!" Henry said, "The acquisition of banks is based on the operation of the market, and there are many banks in the UK to choose from." But Thames Water and Energy need permission from the UK government!"

"Don't worry, Earl Williams, the British government should agree to sell both companies!"

Henry nodded, "Well, it would be best if that was the case!"

At this time, the dinner was almost finished, and after the feast, Henry was about to leave Buckingham Palace, but the Queen of England called Henry to her with a smile.

"Your Majesty, is there anything wrong?" asked Henry, observing the Queen's expression.

"What do you think of Prince Andrew?" said the Queen of England, "I mean, do you think he deserves to be Princess Ulysses?"

Henry smiled bitterly in his heart, how to answer this.

Henry was silent for a moment, glanced over, and saw that Princess Ulysses was looking not far away, although her face was as cold as ice, but her heart was sad. As soon as Henry remembered Prince Andrew's blonde hair and rough face like a lion, he immediately felt worthless for Princess Ulysses.

A flower stuck in cow dung?

Henry shook his head and said to the Queen of England: "Not worthy!"

"And who do you think is worthy?" said the Queen of England, smiling meaningfully, and staring at Henry.

Henry knew what the Queen of England meant when he looked at her expression.

"I think......" Henry's heart is a little complicated, Princess Ulysses is the most temperamental and beautiful woman Henry has ever seen, if it was an ordinary identity, Henry would have laughed a long time ago, the golden house must be a must, who told her to look so stunning! But her identity is an English princess, and Henry has to consider more factors......

To be on or not is a big question!
