With the promise of British Prime Minister Spike Bob, Henry knew that the acquisition of Arcelor Steel Company was about to happen, and he was naturally not very happy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Once Williams Steel Company annexes Arcelor Steel Company, it will become a giant enterprise in the steel industry, beating several Japanese steel companies and Korean steel companies behind it!

Based on the relationship between Henry and Japan, if World War III breaks out in the future, Madagascar is likely to fight with Japan. The steel industry is the top priority of a country, and weakening it is tantamount to weakening the country's overall strength! At present, Japan's population is over 100 million, its economy is developed, and Madagascar, which is weak, is really not an opponent. Therefore, Henry will suppress the development of Japan as much as possible in the future.

And at this time, the outside world was full of news about Henry's acquisition of the shipyard.

The Times reported: "Recently, Henry Williams, the richest man in the world, invested seven or eight billion dollars to acquire nearly 100 British shipyards, causing a global sensation, and countless experts and analysts believe that Henry Williams's move will surely bring British shipyards back to life, and the empire on which the sun never sets a hundred years ago will be brilliant again!"

South Korea's Busan Ilbo: "Combining hundreds of shipyards in the UK into one company is unprecedentedly powerful in terms of technology and scale! This will be an unprecedented giant company, and Korean shipyards will face the most serious challenges in the future!!"

“……”

If the media knew that Henry was going to buy Arcelor Steel, they would have been shocked!

At noon, the scorching sun hung high.

Spike Bob stayed at Kensington Palace to have lunch with Henry and Lakshmi Mittal. In the meantime, discuss the acquisition of Arcelor Steel. Since Henry still had a lot of work to do, the matter was left to Lakshmi Mittal.

It's almost April, and Apple was supposed to hold a product launch event on April Fool's Day to launch the iPhone. Henry thought about it, Madagascar is about to be founded, and this news will definitely cause a sensation around the world. In order to make headlines and increase exposure, Henry decided to postpone the release of the iPhone. In between, the construction of a 4G network can be carried out first. The network is crucial to a smartphone. iPhone is targeting high-end users, and the 4G network is also targeting high-end users, so after the establishment of the 4G network, the iPhone should be more popular.

After sending off Spike Bob and Lakshmi Mittal, Henry ordered all of his telecommunications companies, as well as Cisco, Qualcomm, Lucent, Apple, and Williams Electronics, to hold an ocean video conference, in which Henry first announced that he would postpone Apple's product launch to October 1, which coincided with the global shopping carnival hosted by Nicholas International E-Commerce. Holding a product launch conference at this point will surely cause a very hot scene of iPhone sales and cause a huge sensation. People have a herd mentality, and when they see that the iPhone is so popular, of course they want to buy one. If you engage in hunger marketing at this time, you will definitely receive unexpected effects!

"The iPhone launch will be postponed to October 1, and during this period, Cisco, Qualcomm, Lucent and Williams Electronics will actively cooperate with telecom companies to build 4G networks. I hope that in the next six months, we will be able to launch 4G network services smoothly!!" Henry thought for a while and said, "At the same time, try to persuade other telecom companies to build 4G networks and make the whole 4G network cake bigger!"

"Yes!!"

"Well, then you can discuss the rest of the matter yourself!" said Henry, disconnecting from the remote video connection.

After disconnecting, it occurred to Henry that he didn't have a telecommunications company in the UK yet. As one of the very important constituent countries of the European Union, the United Kingdom has a great influence.

"Acquire a UK telecommunications company and then use that as a basis to enter the European telecommunications market!"

Henry immediately recalled what telecommunications companies were in Britain.

The UK's largest telecommunications company is owned by British Telecom (BT). In 2001, in order to relieve the financial crisis faced by the company, BT spun off its subordinate mobile phone company BT-Wireless and established an independent company called MMO2. In 2002, MMO2 officially launched the O2 brand. Then, in November 2005, Telefonica, the big tycoon in the European market, threw out piles of banknotes and bought O2 for £17.7 billion in cash at a 22% premium. O2 has also lived up to Telefónica's expectations and has been developing smoothly in the UK mobile communications market, especially in the highest-value postpaid market, which occupies half of the country, forming a relatively high-end brand image.

Henry's biggest interest now is to buy mobile companies in the telecommunications sector, including Vodafone, the largest telecommunications giant in the UK market, Orange in France, T-Mobile in Germany, O2 in the UK and Three companies established by Li Jiacheng. Among them, Orange and T-Mobile will "tie the knot" in the future and form EE Corporation. Li Jiacheng is bent on acquiring O2, once Three merges O2, it will have more than 46% of the British market, forming a monopoly!

Henry's target was naturally O2, so the next day he decided to spend $20 billion to make a purchase request to O2!

It was really a wave of unevenness, and the British media was shocked again.

The Sun: "What is the sign of a rich man? -- Just like Henry Williams, the richest man in the world, who stopped buying other businesses at the same time! We all know that these days, Henry Williams is buying British shipyards on a big spree. And just this morning, the latest news came that Henry Williams has sent an offer to British mobile communications giant O2 to buy it. Yes, that's right, Henry Williams, the richest man in the world, is going to enter the British telecommunications industry again, and then the whole of Europe. At this moment, European telecom giants, are you afraid?"

The news soon sent a terrifying hurricane through European countries. Vodafone, Telefónica, Deutsche Telekom and other European telecom giants are all in the limelight, and at this time, the company's stock price has fallen!

Henry was watching the news at the moment, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile: "It's so terrifying that I look like a demon?"

British Prime Minister Spike Bob also saw the news and learned that Henry was going to buy O2 again, and immediately called to inquire, and Henry told him that after the acquisition of O2, he would immediately start building a 4G network.

When Spike Bob heard that Henry was going to build a 4G network in the UK to promote the development of the British network, he was overjoyed and expressed his support for Henry's acquisition of O2.

The parent company of O2 has a debt of up to one or two billion US dollars, and in the previous life, it sold O2 to Telefónica, and in this life, it can naturally be sold to Henry.

Faced with the temptation of $20 billion, BT Group agreed directly to Henry's acquisition of O2 without saying a word.

On March 29, the two parties officially signed the contract.

After taking O2, Henry immediately instructed O2 to prepare for the construction of a 4G network.

Since O2 has always taken the route of the mid-to-high-end prepaid market, it cannot give up at the low end. At the time of Henry's acquisition of O2, O2 was in talks with Tesco, the UK's largest retailer, to form Tesco-Mobile in the mobile virtual operator (MVNO) market, focusing on the low-end prepaid market.

Traditional mobile operators are basic operators, such as China Telecom, China Mobile, and China Unicom. In fact, mobile virtual operators are operators who carry out business by sharing all or part of the network resources of basic operators.

Since the mobile virtual operator has helped the basic operator to open up the market, this is mutually beneficial. However, there is a premise, that is: mobile virtual operators cannot steal the users of basic operators. Therefore, in general, the user positioning of mobile virtual operators is different from that of basic operators.

As a basic operator, O2 is positioned in the mid-to-high-end market, and as a mobile virtual operator, Tesco-Mobile is positioned in the low-end market.

tesco-mobile has been very successful in its previous life and is considered one of the success stories by the global mobile virtual operator industry. O2 shares its own network resources, while Tesco uses its own online and offline channels to sell. But the problem now is that Henry also has retail enterprises in the UK, and Amazon, eBay and Alibaba basically monopolize the UK e-commerce market.

So, Henry called Paul Adams, the current CEO of O2, and said: "The cooperation between O2 and Tesco has been cancelled, and the fertilizer will not flow to outsiders, and I will arrange for Nicolas International E-Commerce Group to cooperate with O2 to establish Nicolas-Mobile!"

"Okay, I see!" Paul Adams nodded.

Inspired by this, Henry couldn't help but think that when the traditional basic operator model encountered a bottleneck, perhaps this new mobile virtual operator model could break the bottleneck and open up a larger market!

On April 1, Henry left England for South Africa. South Africa is one of the world's five largest mineral countries, bordering Madagascar, and the purpose of Henry's visit is self-evident, naturally to obtain South Africa's mineral resources.

Just as Henry was on his way to South Africa by plane, news came from Europe that Williams Steel and Arcelor Steel had reached a merger intention, and as long as the EU approved it, the merger plan could be completed!

As soon as the news broke, there was a global uproar.

"What's going on with this? The world's two steel giants are actually going to merge......

"yes, if this merger passes, Williams Steel will definitely blow up the sky!!"

"Warge, Henry Williams, is this the rhythm of the Earth's acquisition? It's only been a few days since I came to England, first the shipyards, then the telecommunications companies, then the steel companies. Made, I have never served anyone since I was a child, but today, I have to say to Henry Williams, 'Lao Tzu has served'!!"

"Hehe......"

At noon on the same day, the BBC reported in more detail: "Lakshmi Mittal, CEO of Williams Steel, had been in London a week earlier, and then had secret contacts with Arcelor Steel. According to an interview with this TV station, Williams Steel proposed to merge Arcelor Steel Company for $30 billion and 30% of the shares, of which Williams Steel Company borrowed a total of $20 billion from five banks or financial institutions: Bank of America, Standard Chartered Bank, Royal Bank of Scotland, Prestige Capital, and Blackstone Group!"

After reading the BBC report, netizens commented: "Damn, these banks and financial institutions are all Henry Williams' property, and the amount of funds under their control all adds up to tens of trillions of dollars, and it is not a matter of Henry Williams to borrow a loan!!

"Well, yes, it's easy. But if we go to the bank for a loan, it will become 'Shu Road is difficult, it is difficult to go to the sky'!"

"I'm so depressed, why do I suddenly have a feeling that the gap between the rich and the poor is getting wider and wider!"

"****, see the reality clearly, this is society!"

“……”

It would take another hour or two for Henry's private jet to arrive at South Africa's capital airport, but the airport was already crowded. South African President Gary Tennison, who manages a huge country, usually manages every day, but as soon as he heard that Henry was coming to South Africa, he immediately postponed all other work arrangements and came to the airport to wait for Henry's arrival!!

And after this trip to South Africa, Henry will go to Madagascar to complete the great cause of nationhood.

At the moment, he was on the phone with Karina.

"My dear, I'm about to arrive in South Africa, stay here for a few days, and then head straight to Madagascar. I fear that the U.S. government might hurt you when I founded the country. Of course, with my current strength and influence in the United States and even the world, they don't dare to do anything to you. However, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens. So, to be on the safe side, you'd better prepare and leave tomorrow for Madagascar!!"

"Okay, I understand!

"Don't worry, I'll be careful, we'll see you in Madagascar!"

After Henry had finished explaining what had happened, he hung up.

On April 3, at 3 p.m. South African time, Henry arrived at the airport of the South African capital.

The door of the private jet slowly opened, and Henry's bodyguard came out first, and Henry came out right behind. At this time, a symphony orchestra of dozens of people not far away began to play the highest standard music that South Africa can only have when welcoming presidents of various countries. After Henry stepped off the plane, a cute little Lori came over with flowers and wanted to present flowers to Henry.

On both sides of the road were schoolchildren holding flowers, shouting, "Warm welcome to Mr. Williams to South Africa!"

"Don't make it so grand, I'm just saying that I'm going to invest in South Africa......"

At this time, Henry saw South African President Gary Tennison walking over with a smile on his face......
