Sitting on the sofa, Kim Do-joon's expression was slightly serious, and he had been discussing what price to reduce his shares at what price.

It's not that Kim Do-joon is unwilling to reduce his shareholdings, but in the current form, if he agrees too easily, it will not be a good thing.

If you can't meet your legitimate rights and interests, Jin Daojun will not compromise so easily, as the saying goes, if you want a horse to run, you have to eat enough, you don't have enough grass, let alone let Jin Daojun sincerely hand over his shares!

"What are you thinking about, tell me about it, it's been almost an hour since just now, don't tell me, I don't have any ideas!"

Looking at the three people in the computer, they were lined up, sitting in front of them, with a sad face, they could see that they were a little embarrassed, they knew the news, and it was not very long, they really wanted to understand the international market, understand the international mergers and acquisitions, or it would take a while, where was it as urgent as Kim Do-jun requested, and said that he would come up with his opinions, and now he really had to find friends to help.

During this period of time, Walker and Han Sung-ho are both dealing with the acquisition of Harrods Department Store in London, and Kim Do-jun has agreed to hand over the full power to two people to acquire Harrods Department Store at a price of no more than 1.5 billion pounds.

All the thoughts are spent on this, how can there be time to manage anything else, and joshua is in charge of the KDJ Group. All sorts of things, big and small. As small as people management. As the CEO of the company, he is fully responsible for the management of the company.

I still have to take care of the KDJ automobile industry, and I really can't be distracted and deal with other things, and I can only say sorry for Kim Do-joon's request.

Fortunately, the company is also gradually building its own investment management team, and has now begun to look for headhunters to recruit suitable candidates. If nothing else, there will be a new person in office next year.

Kim Do-joon also understands Joshua's hard work, so he is not very harsh on him, and his eyes have been on Walker and Han Sung-ho, and now should be the most favorable time for them to come up with a plan.

Jin Daojun crossed Erlang's legs, frowned slightly, and was a little dissatisfied.

"Daojun, do you really want to sell Google's shares, is there no way?"

Han Chenghao immediately asked, and he also had a faint reluctance in his heart. It took a long time to achieve this achievement. But in just two years, he has reduced his stake by almost 10%, which is no different from persecution, which is good on the surface, but in fact, no one wants to sell their shares, because now it is far from the highest point, just halfway.

"Nonsense, if I can, I'll ask you, if you don't agree, that assistant secretary of state will come to me again, I don't want to be despised by his bodyguards!"

When he faced these people, he realized that this world, in the eyes of the American government, has no secrets at all, and even if Kim Dojun hides it well, it will be useless, and the entry and exit of large sums of money must be controlled by all sides.

No matter how mysterious it is, it will always leave clues, and in front of the most powerful country, Kim Do-joon is simply weak and ridiculous.

"And these stocks, Jason, are you going to reduce them all at the market price?"

"Hmmm! If I said yes, I will definitely do it, but I want to maximize my profits and not suffer any losses! ”

Kim so young sat next to him, he couldn't do anything, he could only help Kim Do-joon serve coffee and clean up things, he couldn't do these things, and he couldn't even understand some English, Han Sung-ho was okay, he could understand English and Korean, and as for Walker, from beginning to end, it was all in English, and he spoke it quite quickly, so he couldn't understand it even more.

Speaking of mergers and acquisitions, we have to mention Google Inc., which acquired the famous video entertainment website YouTube in 2006 for $1.65 billion worth of shares.

The deal means YouTube will become the first social video site to surpass $1 billion in transactions, when YouTube is only a year old.

And just a few years later, YouTube has now become the undisputed leader in the video space, with a value of well over $1.6 billion.

It may not be a money-making machine, but it has an enviable asset in the video space.

Further back, in 2005, Googe acquired Android, and after several years of development, the Android operating system has accounted for half of the mobile phone market, which has helped consumers enter the era of full-featured smartphones.

But what makes Google happiest is that it only spent $50 million to acquire Android, which is not a little bit worse than now, and it is estimated that the current Android system is worth at least $10 billion, and Google will laugh in his dreams.

Under the uncertain situation of whether the global economy is facing a second bottom, every investment decision must become more cautious and more prudent.

Walker is very cautious in this regard, so he will not open his mouth at will, every investment is worth billions or even tens of billions of dollars, and it is impossible to decide on an investment project casually.

After thinking for a while, Kim Do-jun heard Walker's faint response.

"Jason, I received a message, I don't know if you want to hear it!"

"Say!"

"The British power grid is likely to be sold at the end of the year, or early next year, I know the news, there is already a consortium composed of Hong Kong's Li Ka Shing Group, Abu Dhabi Consortium, Canada Pension Fund, and Australia's Macquarie Group, they are all targeting the British power grid, but if you want to successfully acquire the British power grid, you have to start with EDF, they have 100% of the assets and related interests of the British power grid!"

It is no secret that Walker knew the news. Several sides of the centaurs. Has been in public relations lobbying. It is hoped that this excellent asset will be sold to their respective companies and consortia.

The impact of the economic crisis on Britain and even Europe is not as serious as that of the United States, and the subprime mortgage crisis is not popular in Europe, so the economy recovers faster, the most important point. The UK has long been a safe haven for the world's financial markets, and many large consortia and national funds have chosen to invest in the UK as a means and way to preserve their value.

After listening to this, Jin Daojun was obviously interested, leaned forward slightly, sat up straight, thought for a while, and then asked.

"Is this news accurate? Is it reliable? ”

If you really want to compete, it's not a small amount, not a few hundred million dollars to win. And since it is the national power grid, so to speak. Whoever controls the British power grid controls one-tenth of the United Kingdom, and no matter which country, it is impossible to leave electricity, and Kim Do-joon already owns Jaguar Land Rover, that is, KDJ Motor Group.

With KDJ Bank, and now it is entering Harrods, if it can be successfully acquired, it will be a formal entry into the department store industry, even the retail industry, and the luxury industry.

Now, Walker has given him an even bigger surprise, that is, the British power grid, if he can also win tap water and natural gas, Kim Do-jun will already become the king of the British behind the scenes, the real KING, not the name.

"Very reliable, the news has been confirmed, and the acquisition has begun to be secretly contacted, if we can win it this time, not only can we expand our business in the UK, but also take the opportunity to enter the European market!"

Kim Do-jun nodded after listening, the scale of this transaction is very large, but it is very tempting, just like a devil's fruit, it keeps seducing Kim Do-jun's heart, teasing, teasing, to be honest, when he heard Walker's proposal, he was already moved, this is not far from his dream.

"Don't care about anything else, give me a brief introduction to the British power grid!"

"This acquisition business, consisting of three regional networks, covers London, the South East of England, and the East, with more than 7.89 million customers, and maintains rapid growth, reaching nearly 1/4 of the UK's electricity supply, making it the largest distribution company in the entire UK!"

As soon as Walker finished speaking, Kim Do-jun already had a clear concept in his mind, if he acquired British Power, it could be said that he had a cornucopia of cash, and there would be a steady stream of cash flow to his purse.

And one thing, the world, basically all the power grid companies, are very profitable, and they have a lot of money, which is no worse than the oil giants.

"In that case, will it cause obstruction from the British antitrust regulators?"

Kim Do-jun suddenly remembered that such an acquisition must go through the regulatory department, and as a South Korean, it is really not easy to reach out and plug into the British power grid, which is related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and it takes a lot of hard work.

But if you think about it carefully, the national nature of South Korea does not seem to have much contradiction with the United Kingdom, and if the public relations are effective, this acquisition can still be completed.

At the very least, the price of this acquisition is to reach the level of satisfaction of these shareholders, and if you think about it carefully, it is really a bit of a headache, and these capitalists with a big appetite are not so easy to satisfy.

"Fortunately, the problem is not very big, because this acquisition does not involve a monopoly, and its market size does not reach the level of monopoly, at most it can only be regarded as an advantage, you don't have to worry about this aspect!"

As the rest of Walker knows, the British antitrust authorities are far more involved in ideological disputes than others.

The most important thing is that Kim Do-jun also has an advantage over them, that is, cars and banks, which have brought huge tax revenues to the UK, worker employment, consumer markets, medical care, insurance, and so on.

It seems to be a simple point, but it has affected the entire British economy, and another point, Kim Do-jun is also the second shareholder of the English Premier League team Arsenal, and he can add a big score to this acquisition for him to win the company's favor.

Kim Do-jun pressed his temples, bulging, there was some pain in his head, he thought too much at once, and countless thoughts were intertwined and swirling in his mind.

"To acquire or not to acquire, what to do? Can it be done? ”

"By the way, Jason has one more thing, once the acquisition is decided, if it is reversed at that time, it will have to pay 100 million pounds, and if the EU is against it, it will have to get rich 50 million pounds, that is to say, this is a merger that can only succeed and cannot fail!"

For the acquisition, Hong Kong's Li Chaoren hired the Royal Bank of Scotland as a transaction advisor.

Other consortia and fund companies have also chosen other banks to act as their own transaction advisors to negotiate the acquisition.

"And this rule? Isn't this a pit man? Since I promised to buy it, it must be completed by 100 percent, but the EU is against it, and I still need to pay for it, isn't it too much? ”

Kim Do-jun couldn't figure it out, what kind of rule breaking this was, it was really a dead person.

"Of course, the EU also has to take into account its own interests, as a seller to negotiate the time involved in the transaction, as well as the compensation of costs, which are carried out in accordance with EU rules and regulations!"

Whether it is legal or not, these legal systems exist there, and no one can change them, and even if Kim Do-joon feels dissatisfied, there is nothing he can do.

"So what do you mean? Brother Cheng Hao, Joshua, you can also talk about it, you can't just listen to the two of us! ”

Kim Do-jun glanced at the two people next to him, stayed there, didn't speak, didn't know and thought he was asleep.

"My opinion, first find out what the facts are, this case is too big, not we can just talk about it, my opinion, first find one or two large investment institutions to consult, by the way, hire a special acquisition group to help operate this matter, if you want to buy British electricity, do not convince these high-ranking officials, it is not too realistic at all!"

Joshua shook his head, this matter is not as simple as imagined, it is not like a department store, anyway, it is there, whoever pays the high price has a great chance of getting it.

Now, it is necessary to go through a careful and reasonable analysis and investigate the strength of the competitors, and finally know yourself and the enemy, and win all battles.

"Daojun, I have an idea, you listen to it first, don't refuse first, if you want to really enter the UK in an all-round way, do you have to consider immigration, to be honest, I'm used to staying in the UK now, if it weren't for you, I would have been ready to immigrate to the UK!"

Han Sung-ho's thoughts gave Kim Do-jun a dose of inspiration, and a light flashed in his mind in an instant, his thoughts had never been thought about before.

Immigrating to the UK sounds ethereal, but it is really necessary, if Kim Do-joon is really willing to let the KDJ Group fully occupy the LinkedIn market, it is imperative to become a British, otherwise, his future acquisitions will be more and more difficult, because his identity, unlike other countries and regions, to be honest, South Korea is not comparable to the projectile land of HK.

After listening to this, Kim Do-joon muttered a little.

"Immigration to the UK, immigration to the UK ......"

It sounds easy, but it is very difficult to do, and the biggest difficulty in front of Kim Do-joon is that he is now an artist, and he was not born abroad, but was born in Korea.

If this is the case, will the people of South Korea compare him to Yoo Seung-jun, and deliberately go to other countries to obtain citizenship in order to avoid military service?

Then the end is that he will not be allowed to step into South Korean soil for the rest of his life, and this price is not something he can afford...... (To be continued......)

PS: I'm about to go back to South Korea, and the climax is about to come
