Chapter 302: Crazy Revenge
Chapter 302: Crazy Revenge
……
Colchester, a small town located less than fifty kilometres from London and on the seafront. There aren't too many people in the town, and most of them are workers working in nearby factories. Eighty percent of them are employees of Teesside Power Plant.
"Boss, we're here!"
Guo Shouyun nodded. After sending Molly Bevan to London, he arrived here with Rebecca Mark and her team, who had arrived in advance.
The Teesside Power Plant, which generates nearly 2,000 megawatts of electricity and accounts for 4% of the UK's electricity generation, was the destination of his trip.
"That's Teesside?"
Guo Shouyun pointed to the huge industrial area in the distance.
"Yes!"
"Let's go, go over and have a look!"
"Boss, why don't you wait until next time. After the fire at the Teesside power plant, it was not repaired because of a dispute over compensation. So, it's a terrible situation inside right now. It can be dangerous!"
Jolen Best, head of Enron at the Teesside Power Plant. Of course, with Enron's merger with Pacific Corporation, his current position has not changed, but his immediate boss has been replaced by Rebecca Mack.
Looking at the power plant, which was surrounded by a cordon and had been completely burned black, Guo Shouyun nodded and did not force his way in.
"Then let's take a look outside!" "Rebecca, how are the negotiations with Bnemen Chemical Industries?"
"Still talking!"
Guo Shouyun's footsteps stopped, "The other party's asking price is very high?"
"Yes! Bnemen wants us to pay another $800 million in compensation along with another $150 million in accident damages!"
"$800 million? The original investment in the entire Teesside power plant was only $1.3 billion! Even if the depreciation of the equipment is not considered, it is impossible for the 50 percent stake to exceed $700 million, and we have to bear all the compensation, are we stupid?" Guo Shouyun said coldly.
"Now the whole world knows that the boss made a fortune on gold speculation. That's why they shouted such an exaggerated asking price!"
"What about the Bank of Scotland and the Batlló Fund?"
"Their terms are relatively reasonable, but without Bnemen's consent, we can only get a 50% stake at most, and we can't get control of the power plant at all!"
Guo Shouyun nodded, "This is really a headache. Is there any good way to do it?"
"There is no good way to do it except to continue to negotiate and find opportunities!"
"Then let's continue to talk and see who can outperform who in the end!"
When Enron was struggling at the end, it had already sold its original stake in the Teesside Power Plant, and now Anping Company only had 28% of the stake in the Teesside Power Plant. If we talk about losses, it is definitely that Bneimen, as a major shareholder, has suffered more losses.
"Yes!"
"Have you talked to Vidiwang about the water business in Azurikos?"
"I talked about it, but I still got a response. After a pause, "Boss, the British water management department has issued us a rectification notice again, allowing us to improve the aging equipment in Azuricos in time." Otherwise, they're going to be fined!"
After listening, Guo Shouyun's face showed a headache.
Azuricos' municipal water business spans nearly half of the UK's cities, and it would cost at least $2 billion to retrofit all of its facilities.
With such a huge amount of money, it is no wonder that Enron ignored it.
"Boss, I think we should pay for it. Equipment renovation can not only improve the efficiency of use, improve the standard of clean drinking water, deepen the service level, but also reduce maintenance expenses and increase the company's assets. ”
Guo Shouyun is not a fool, he knows in his heart that this investment will be beneficial to the future of the company, but he is not as concerned about the water business of Azuricos as Rebecca Mark, and even has the idea of selling it. But looking at the current form, it will not work without equipment transformation. Otherwise, once the ticket comes down, it will be him who suffers. As for the negotiations with Vivendi, it is not yet known when the results will actually be achieved.
"If you invest now, you can sell it for a good price in the future. In general, it is not a loss. It's just that the funds that were originally intended to be placed in Anping's capital balance were misappropriated, and the capital chain became tighter. ”
"Rebecca, I agree to the $2 billion investment in equipment transformation. But you also need to help Paul Turner of Phoenix Capital and try to sell other companies that are not part of our business as soon as possible. ”
"Yes!"
"By the way, now that we're here in the UK, we're doing it. Then don't drag Brazil, let's change it together!"
"Understood!"
"Brazil is a big market and a place we can't miss. Therefore, in addition to business matters, you should also pay more attention to any changes at the government level. ”
Rebecca Mark nodded. With her qualifications and status, she naturally understands the importance of intelligence.
"Is there any progress on the Indian side?"
"We are contacting the Tata Group, but we haven't received an accurate reply yet!"
"What about pipeline projects in Colombia and Bolivia?"
"The pipeline project in Colombia has been built, but the pipelines that we expose in the suburbs are constantly threatened by guerrillas and have high wear and tear to repair. In addition, the distribution of Colombian natural gas is in the hands of the Santos family's Betanco gas company, which charges us a high commission, and the rest of the profits are difficult to compensate. ”
"Didn't we originally cooperate with the Colombian Energy Group, how did we become this Santos family now?" Guo Shouyun frowned.
Juan Manuel Santos, the head of the Santos family, is the current Colombian Minister of Defense and a die-hard supporter of Colombian President Álvaro Urivi. And this Álvaro is a hardcore rightist, so after he came to power this year, he immediately transformed many state-owned companies that originally belonged to Colombia into private ownership, among which the Santos family, the Quartas family and other powerful factions benefited the most!"
Guo Shouyun rubbed his sideburns, and the intricacies of the situation in Colombia made him feel a headache. At the same time, he is also aware that the political risks of investing in these economically underdeveloped countries and the lack of government authority far outweigh the economic risks.
"Let's talk to the head of the Santos family, and if they continue to have high school fees, then sell our pipeline. Even if I lose a sum of money temporarily, I don't want to be exploited like a fool. And Colombia isn't a must-have market!"
Guo Shouyun is well aware of his current disadvantages and advantages. Although he has money and a sufficient career, the weakness of his shallow roots is still difficult to compensate. In countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and China, where the rule of law is perfect, you can also rely on money to leverage capital to balance those big families. But in Colombia, where strength is everything, he doesn't have much capital to subdue these local snakes.
Instead of spending energy and money in this kind of place, it is better to focus on tapping supermarkets such as the United States and China. When he has devoted himself to development for a few years and his strength and influence have really reached their peak, it will not be too late to come back and clean up the old mountains and rivers.
"Understood!" Rebecca Mark nodded.
He didn't ask about the Bolivian pipeline project next. Because this project has just started, it is in the stage of spending money.
After talking to Rebecca Mark about the company, it was almost noon. Remembering the lunch with his wife, Guo Shouyun briefly explained to Rebecca, then turned around and drove towards the city of London with his bodyguard.
York Street Art Gallery, London.
This is where the exhibition of young people's paintings held by Gagosian is held. It was also a coincidence that when Guo Shouyun pushed the car door and walked out, he happened to meet Molly Bevan, who came out with several female painters.
"Molly...?"
Looking at the waving lover, Molly Bevan's face showed joy, "Bruce!"
Looking at his lover who was walking towards him, Guo Shouyun raised his leg and prepared to meet him. But before he could step out of his left foot, he was overwhelmed by the force from behind. Before he could figure out what was happening, the crisp sound of gunfire suddenly rang in his ears.
Looking at the small earthen pillar that was close at hand, hit by bullets, inexplicable fear suddenly clenched his heart. For the first time in his life, he felt that death was so close to him.
"Damn it, Molly!"
Thinking of his lover, Guo Shouyun hurriedly looked up, but the next scene instantly emptied all his thoughts.
I saw a black Volvo sedan crashing like a crazy bull towards Molly Bevan, who was about to run towards him.
"Molly, get out of the way!!"
Looking at her lover who was yelling at her with a hideous expression, Molly Bevan, who was already stunned by the car that was crazy and crashed into her, subconsciously threw herself to the side.
"Boom...!"
The sound of the impact and the flying shadow occupied all of Guo Shouyun's mind in an instant. Cold, endlessly cold, pierced his heart.
"Molly...!!"
shouted hoarsely, Guo Shouyun was like an angry beast, 'Teng' overturned the bodyguard pressing on him, ran to his lover with all his might, and fell to the ground with a 'bang'. But looking at the blood all over the ground, I don't know how to do it.
"Call an ambulance!"
Guo Shouyun, who had regained some of his senses a little, shouted.
"Yes!"
The bodyguard who followed answered the call.
At this time, the red-eyed Guo Shouyun snatched the gun in the bodyguard's hand, walked to the side and hit the Volvo sedan that stopped by the steel street lamp on the side of the road, and shot wildly at the driver's seat, even if the bullet was missed, it didn't stop.
"Boss, he's dead!"
The bodyguard next to him cautioned.
Guo Shouyun, who was panting, stopped.
"Boss, the ambulance is coming!"
Because the hospital was very close to the place of the incident, the ambulance came very quickly.
At this time, Guo Shouyun didn't care about anything else, and after throwing the gun to the bodyguard, he ran towards Molly. The rest of the bodyguards also hurriedly followed. Of course, in order to maintain the scene and wait for the police to come, one of the four bodyguards was also left.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Molly was quickly wheeled into the emergency room.
After Guo Shouyun, who was standing outside the door, calmed down a little, the captain of the bodyguard came up and said carefully: "Boss, the murderer is Oliver Balin!"
"I know!" Guo Shouyun's tone was as cold as ice. In fact, when Oliver Balin drove towards Molly, he had already seen the other person's appearance through the front window. At that time, in retaliation, the bastard also wiped his neck at him.
"Use all the energy we can. I want to know how he got to England, and how to find out where Molly and I are, and if Molly has a three-year-old and a two-short, I'll bury them all!"
Looking at the murderous aura on the boss's face, the bodyguard captain shuddered in his heart, "Yes, I'll do it immediately!"
"Also, call your headquarters, I need more garrisons. Especially here in England, I want them to increase the guard of Bevan Manor to 200 in an hour, and I will pay whatever it takes!"
"Yes! I'll call right away!"
"Go ahead!"
Looking at the back of the bodyguard captain in a hurry, Guo Shouyun took a deep breath. Now his mind is very chaotic, and he can't think of any better way than to strengthen the garrison!
