Chapter 825: Cooperation or Independence

After listening to this, Jin Daojun's original chewing action slowly stopped, turned sideways, glanced at Joshua with some confusion, and immediately asked.

"What's going on in the UK, and which consortium is involved?"

Kim Do-jun's expression was slightly solemn, entering the UK is related to the layout of the entire market, as well as the future development plan, KDJ Group must fully enter the UK, if necessary, Kim Do-jun will choose to give up his Korean nationality and become a British after he has completed his military service and is loyal to the country.

Artist is his profession, entrepreneur is also his profession behind the scenes, he can't be an artist all his life, such a big industry is always handed over to others, he will not rest assured, and KDJ Group is in a period of rapid development, with Jaguar and Land Rover as a leader, open the British and European markets, and then in the layout of the entire United States, Canada, improve their sales chain and industrial layout, the final market, but placed in China, these emerging powers in Asia, their market is broad, the potential is huge, It is the ultimate goal of KDJ Motors in the future, and if it wants to turn a profit, Land Rover must enter the Chinese market as soon as possible.

Judging from the current brokerage crisis, the world, especially the developed countries in Europe and the United States, have been affected more heavily, and the scope of the impact is wider, not only affecting the consumption level of the people, even if they have money, they dare not buy large goods at will, God knows what will happen, or be cautious and rational.

But countries like China and India don't have a big impact, and the economy is already on the upswing and the demand is extensive. It has huge foreign exchange reserves. The wealthy and middle class are also growing. If you don't take advantage of this opportunity to seize the Chinese market, when the major car companies come to their senses, they won't have anything to do, and they can't drink soup and not eat meat by themselves!

Before completing these industrial layouts, the KDJ Group moved westward, which was a necessity for not only the automotive company. Own a bank, own a sports industry Arsenal team, and also want to pursue more acquisitions.

However, this point is not what Kim Do-joon says, it depends on whether the British authorities are willing to sell these public properties, such as electricity, hydropower, natural gas, communications, railways, and so on.

All of this is for the future, and a country like the UK is destined to become the center of the financial industry. It is also an ideal location for the headquarters of multinational companies.

Joshua paused, putting down his knife and fork. Only then did he reply.

"We understand that the Lee Ka Shing family from Hong Kong, through the Hutchison Whampoa company under his control, seems to be ready to enter the UK market in a big way, looking for suitable M&A opportunities, and if they are in line with us and use the UK market as a safe haven in the future, then I can guarantee that we will have a head-on confrontation with them in any acquisitions in the future!"

Hutchison is one of the world's top 500 mega companies in Fortune, of which Cheung Kong owns nearly 50% of the shares, and the rest of the shares are all over the world's major consortia, which is a rather scary company.

A large multinational corporation with a global presence, operating diversified businesses, including the largest container terminal operations in multiple markets around the world, with annual revenues of more than $40 billion, operating multiple operations in 52 countries around the world, and employing more than 240,000 people.

At present, the industrial sector of Hutchison Whampoa Group includes Hutchison Whampoa Port, Hutchison Whampoa Properties, Watsons Group, Cheung Kong Infrastructure and Hutchison Telecommunications.

The expression on Joshua's face is slightly serious, this is not a joke, nor is it a petty fight, once the confrontation is head-on, the two sides are a competition in various aspects of financial resources, ability, and intelligence, with the strength of Kim Dojun and KDJ Group, they do not have a head-on confrontation with a consortium like Hutchison Whampoa, you know, his company, the shareholder is not the only one, how many forces behind the support, the support of the government, these are inexplicable.

If Kim Do-joon only relies on him personally, if he wants to snatch food from his hands, the difficulty is obvious, and the acquisition of this matter is not only a process of spending energy, but also a comparison of patience, comparing who can drag the opponent down, and wait for the other party to give in to him.

If it's him, it's okay, there are no competitors, you can play how you want, and when it's time to bargain, you will be merciless and kill to the end.

But now someone has intervened in it, which is equivalent to erecting a flag on Kim Dojun's chassis, and it is clear that they are also going to buy various public service industries in the United Kingdom, which is really a very difficult guy to deal with!

His name, Kim Do-jun is like thunder, spanning the shopping mall for decades, experiencing thousands of ups and downs, but not falling, but growing stronger and stronger, for so many years, has been holding the throne of the richest man in Asia, even Samsung's Lee Kun-hee, was also pressed by him.

However, with Kim Do-jun's current net worth, he can completely surpass Li Ka-shing, and 20% of Google's stocks, which is a rather terrifying fortune when converted.

But this thing, can not be all realized or sold, just like the law of market value, the more you sell, the cheaper the price will be, only if your quantity is very small, slowly sell stocks, or each time is a small batch, that will not affect the stock price, to obtain the maximum profit.

Although this news has not yet been announced, Kim Dojun himself can guess that the matter of identity will not be hidden for too long, and it is okay for ordinary people, but he can't hide his identity at all.

Kim Do-jun touched his chin, thought about it for a while, and watched the TV, but his mind didn't know where it had gone.

At this time, how can you still have the heart to watch TV, the three of them come back today, there must be a bunch of things, this is just the first one!

"Then what do you think, I'll hear it!"

Walker stood up from the carpet and shook the champagne in his hand around the couch before replying.

"In my opinion, if you have to confront them, it is better to take the initiative to contact them to see if there is any possibility of cooperation, I am Chinese." their background. It's not as simple as we think. After the return, there are only a few families that can survive and grow, which one does not have a red background behind it, otherwise it would have already collapsed! ”

No matter how powerful a company is, it can't stand up to the government, and if you really want to rectify you, it's really easy. It's not easy to find faults, a simple mistake or mistake can make you stop production for rectification or revoke your business license, without the support of the above, if you want to control such a huge enterprise, it is also a fool's dream.

Without the strong support of the government, even companies like Google, Microsoft, and Oracle would not have developed to this day.

The advent of digitalization and the computer age. It's not just the human brain that has changed. At the same time, it also allows the government to understand that only by mastering the knowledge of informatization and mastering science and technology can we truly control the future.

"Working with them? Are you sure? ”

Han Chenghao leaned back on the sofa, clasped his hands on his chest, and asked with a puzzled expression.

In his eyes, he doesn't want to cooperate with anyone at all, and monopoly is the most comfortable thing, so why live by looking at other people's faces!

But in fact, no one lives without looking at other people's faces, and who can be separated from the existence of society!

You said that the president of the United States does not need to look at the faces of others, of course he does, the Senate and the House of Representatives, so many wishes, so many wealthy families in the United States, which one does not need to look at their faces, otherwise the plan you promote will not be passed at all, and it will become a dead letter.

"Then what else! Confront them head-on, grab the acquisition with them? See who's awesome? ”

Walker raised his eyebrows and said a little defiantly.

Although the KDJ Group has no debts now, most of it relies on Kim Do-joon's personal funds to maintain the survival and development of the company, maintain normal operations, and look good, able to keep secrets and maintain a certain degree of mystery.

But at the same time, it also brings considerable disadvantages, that is, the lack of financing objects, and banks that can provide guarantees and loans for it.

Without the support of these investment banks and banking institutions, it is simply impossible to come out on top in a multi-billion-dollar acquisition.

Is it really forcing him to sell Google's stock and get a lot of cash, this is okay once, but what about the second and third time?

Now it seems that the best way is to absorb deposits from the public through banks, on the one hand, actively carry out the business of deposit and withdrawal, and on the other hand, through the sale of automobiles, loans, and return funds, so that the business of acquisition can be carried out as soon as possible.

At the same time, Kim Do-jun also has the biggest advantage, that is, he already owns Jaguar and Land Rover Motors Group, has two banks, hundreds of branches, and tens of thousands of employees, this number is really terrifying, once it is affected, it will affect tens of thousands of families.

Therefore, it is completely possible to rely on this condition to obtain enough loans from the British government, even if he is unwilling, it will not work, because it will not sit idly by and watch Kim Do-jun's enterprises ignore it, without him, what to do with so many workers, what to do if the company goes bankrupt, what to do if there is no tax, etc., etc., a series of factors, have told it that only by constantly supporting these enterprises can the entire economy be revitalized, and the enterprises will not go bankrupt and collapse, the most ideal way, Kim Do-jun can obtain loans from the government free of charge or at low interest.

The five of them continued to discuss the possibility of cooperation, this is not a joke, once decided, the future guidelines and policies need to be readjusted, whether it is cooperation or competition, the most important thing is to see Kim Do-jun's personal wishes.

After an hour-long discussion, the agenda was finally reached.

First: small acquisitions, if you can afford it independently, do not choose partners, and try to tap your own potential.

Second: pay attention to the communication with the British government, strive for sufficient taxes and bank loans, the specific amount, depending on the development needs of the enterprise, this is handed over to Han Chenghao.

Third: Kim Do-joon officially signed a letter of appointment, appointing Walker as the president and CEO of KDJ Bank, with overall responsibility for the integrated operation of the entire bank, responsible to Kim Do-joon, and supervised by Han Sung-ho.

Fourth: If there is a conflict with other consortiums on the issue of acquisition, the first point is to consider whether further acquisitions are needed, if it is really necessary, on the basis of cooperation, to jointly complete the acquisition, but there is one point, if the other party has too much appetite, it is necessary to consider how large the proportion of investment income is, otherwise it is better to choose to give up, than to get involved, in short, Kim Do-joon's idea is only one point, in the acquisition of public service services, it is not required to be 100%, but at least required to become a major shareholder, have the absolute right to speak!
