A well-known expert once made a report, which said that among the most promising industries in the future, the first place is the water industry.

The so-called water industry refers to water resources, sewage treatment, seawater desalination technology, etc.

Water could become another type of oil.

Such a statement is not an exaggeration. According to the Global Water Intelligence Agency, a British consultancy, the total assets under management of the Water Fund will reach a record $20 billion by December, up 53% from 12 months ago. It's no surprise that, according to Thomson Financial, the price of shares of global water utilities has risen by 150% since 2001, while the prices of global blue-chip stocks have risen by just 50%.

Scarcity begets profit. France's Suez, a well-known water company, found that its global sales increased by 11.7%, including a 20.3% increase in revenue in China.

At the China Water International Conference held last year, experts at the meeting said that seawater desalination projects, reclaimed water reuse projects, and sewage treatment projects will usher in greater and greater development opportunities, and water treatment is forming a large industry.

In Gu Changqing's view, the golden time of real estate has passed, and if Gu wants to get better development and go to the next level, he must find new industries with rich development prospects. And the water industry is undoubtedly the best choice.

Gu also established a water company a few years ago, but in recent years, China's water industry has not developed in an all-round way, and Kong Qingxiang has focused most of his energy on real estate, so this water company has also done a good job, backward technology, single service items, although it will not go bankrupt, but there is not much vitality at all.

How can such a company be competitive compared to foreign enterprises and Sino-foreign joint ventures in the market? In order to occupy a place in this huge feast, it is necessary to have extraordinary strength, capital is one thing, and technology is more important. Now that China is relatively backward in this area, it is too late to invest in developing technology, and the best way to do this is, of course, to cooperate with companies that have advanced technology.

The new sewage treatment technology developed by the British company Thaiwell Water is said to be at the leading level in the world. The company now needed capital to expand its global presence, so it was looking for the right partners around the world. How to cooperate with Thaiwell Company will not only enable Gu's to enter the international stage, but also the prospects and profits of Gu's Water in China alone are immeasurable.

Of course, the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is, what Gu Changqing can think of, how can others not think of it? With countless investment institutions and countless first-class enterprises all over the world wanting to cooperate with Thaiwell, how can Gu's, which is far inferior to those large companies in terms of scale and influence on the world stage, be recognized and favored by Thaiwell Water Company?

That's a problem.

To this end, Gu Changqing first investigated and understood the company. Soon, the assistant Li Jia presented the results of the investigation.

Li Jia is now Gu Changqing's special administrative assistant, with her own office, and has full authority to command Gu Changqing's personal assistant and secretary group. Even the department manager greeted her with a smile. The reason why Gu Changqing reuses Li Jia is not only because she is a partner who grew up with her, but also because Li Jia is very helpful in official affairs, and basically there is almost no mistake in the things that are explained to her, which makes Gu Changqing very trusting and relieved.

"Thaiwell is not a public company." Li Jia reported the findings, "The company's chairman Wilson. Thaiwell is a man of control and is fearful that his water company will be bought and sold for fear of being acquired and his control will be affected, so his water company has grown to such a large size, but has refused to go public. ”

At this point, Gu Changqing can understand that some Western capital countries are very strict in the supervision of the financial environment, and the equity of the largest shareholder of a listed company shall not exceed 45, so as to avoid the situation that one person has a monopoly and affects the interests of other shareholders. In China, however, there is no such rule.

There are both advantages and disadvantages of going public on business. Listing can raise funds for enterprises in a short period of time, but at the same time, it is also subject to public supervision, and its financial status is also exposed to opponents, which is easy to be exposed to mergers and acquisitions.

Thaiwell didn't go public, so if he wanted to get funding, he had to send a message like this and ask for cooperation.

"Because of this conservative style, the company has not developed very quickly, but Mr. Taiwell has always attached importance to the development and updating of technology, so the company also has a place in the water industry in his country. This time, they were looking for partners to secure funding to expand their market presence in their home country with new technologies and expand their business globally. ”

Gu Changqing asked, "Can you investigate which companies are liaising with Teville?" ”

Li Jia smiled: "I knew you would care about this, so I have already found a British information company to do a detailed investigation." At present, there are many companies in contact with Thaiwell, most of which are international private equity funds, as well as some large enterprises interested in getting involved in the water industry, and some water investment companies, and several large water companies in China are also negotiating with them. Speaking of this, Li Jia smiled and said, "Even the Hua Ya of the Huang Prince's family is also our competitor."

Gu Changqing didn't feel strange when he heard this, now the water market is a tempting cake, who doesn't want to go up and get a piece of the company if there is ambition and strength?

The eight immortals crossed the sea to show their magical powers

Gu Changqing looked at Li Jia's investigation data and said with a smile: "It seems that no matter which company it is, it is not comparable to our Gu family."

Even Huaya, Gu's is much inferior to it. Huaya started later than Gu's, but the rapid development and rapid expansion are really staggering. Gu Changqing knew that Huang Tao's contribution to the development of Huaya was indispensable. This man really deserves to be called a business wizard.

As for the means he used...... Who cares? People have always looked only at the results and not at the process.

Li Jia raised her eyebrows, "That's true, in terms of strength and influence, we can't compare to others, especially we have almost no qualifications in the water industry, I'm afraid we can't get into Mr. Tevil's eyes at all."

Then, she smiled slightly, as if she had a bamboo in her chest, "But I know that once you have made up your mind to do something, how can these difficulties stop you?" Like in the United States a few years ago, you didn't get agency for Wentz under a lot of powerful opponents? ”

Gu Changqing heard her mention this matter, the door of memory opened, those sweet years, the beautiful scenery of Princeton, she and him thought of ways together for the goal, worked together, when she was discouraged, he encouraged her, when she wanted to give up, he helped her, when she was in danger, he waited by her side and stood up......

Gu Changqing's mind flashed bits and pieces of that time, and his heart was sore for a while.

.

"Changqing, Changqing." It wasn't until Li Jia saw that her expression was different and called out loud that she pulled Gu Changqing back from her memories.

"Changqing, why did you suddenly start to stay?" Li Jiaqi said.

Gu Changqing flipped through the information in her hand to hide the confusion of her thoughts, and after a while, she raised her head and looked at Li Jia and smiled: "It's nothing, I just remembered the past." ”

She said softly, "It wasn't my credit to be able to get the agency for Wentz last time...... This time, there will be no one to help me so selflessly, I can only rely on myself. ”

Gu Changqing looked at the information for a while, and then said, "Why is there so little personal information about Mr. Tevil?" ”

"Private information?" Li Jia was stunned, "There are some, his personal information, and family members have mentioned it." Need more detail? ”

Gu Changqing nodded and smiled: "Yes, try to be as detailed as possible, the information says that Mr. Tevil's wife is disabled, and the relationship between the two is very good." I need more information about her wife, and it would be better if there was a process of their relationship."

"Will this help us with our plans?" Li Jia was a little puzzled, and then thought that Gu Changqing might have seen that the two had a good relationship and wanted to take his wife's route. "Her wife does not manage the affairs of the company, and even if Mr. Tare Well's relationship with her wife is good, I don't think he will listen to her wife on major matters of the company."

"I know these, don't worry about them for now, just try your best to help me find out, maybe it can come in handy in the future" Gu Changqing turned the chair and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the scenery outside the window, her mind suddenly brightened, she smiled slightly, "Mr. Tair is obviously a person with an extremely strong personality, he can have such a good relationship with his wife, it can be seen that he is also a person who values feelings, such a person, to impress him, I don't know if it is useful if the interests alone are not enough, but any possibility, any opportunity, I need to try and I don't want to give up."

Li Jia looked at her full of confidence, as if nothing could stump her, and her heart suddenly swelled with infinite confidence and courage.

Maybe this is Gu Changqing's charm, turning the impossible into a possibility, it is not a difficult task for her, but a process of conquest.

"I know what to do," Li Jia said with a smile.

Because the matter has not yet been resolved, Gu Changqing has not informed the board of directors for the time being, and she wants to wait until the matter has a certain eyebrow, and then discuss the financing plan with the board of directors, so that it will be easier to succeed. And the matter was exposed too early, who knows if Kong Qingxiang will take this opportunity to make trouble behind his back? It was a rare opportunity, and she didn't want anything to happen to him.

In the first step of the consultation, Gu Changqing first made a detailed information. About Gu's growth, about Gu's strength, and Gu's future development direction. In the information, she introduced the Red Star Plastic Factory, the Red Star Plastic Factory through the company's investment, updated the technology and machinery, this year up and down, the company is getting better and better, today's sales increased by 70 over the same period last year, is planning to go public financing, expand production. The results are very beautiful.

Gu Changqing just wanted Mr. Wilson to understand that although Gu's strength may not be as good as those first-class companies, his heart to do things well, to develop, and to make progress will not be inferior to any company. Gu's vitality and combat effectiveness are like the morning sun, shining brightly and sharp. It is definitely a partner who can forge ahead
