Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 749 Ten Billion Dollar Investment Plan

   During the filming of Cai Lan's food show, many newspapers in London focused on one incident.

   A few days ago, under the instructions of the big boss Yang Chen, Hang Seng Bank became a company called 'Donghua Overseas Holdings Co., Ltd.'.

   This holding company, which was established by Yang Chen and several major British families, announced an investment plan of 10 billion US dollars when it was established.

   Its intention is to acquire high-quality state-owned enterprise shares launched in the second round of the UK.

   Originally, the outside world was still undecided about the second round of privatization reform in the United Kingdom, and they planned to wait and see the changes, but with Yang Chen's actions, the second round of privatization in the United Kingdom was completely detonated.

   shock, surprise

Even Mrs. Thatcher didn't expect Yang Chen to be so generous. Although the victory in the Falklands War has greatly increased her hope for re-election, there are no absolutes in the world, and the political struggle has not reached the end, and no one knows what the outcome will be. .

  If she fails to be re-elected and the Labour Party comes back to power, then this reform will inevitably fail, and all the capitalists involved in the privatization reform will face heavy losses.

   is desperate, or long-term vision.

   This point, no one knows, anyway, the major newspapers in London have different opinions on this, and can't get a unified answer.

With Yang Chen's heavy attack, the voices of several major London families, and the support of the Conservative Party headed by Mrs Thatcher, the British Aerospace Corporation, which Yang Chen was thinking of, has entered the final negotiation stage in just a few days. .

  Due to the strong financial strength of overseas venture capital holding companies, several companies that participated in the auction voluntarily withdrew consciously.

   In the eyes of others, it takes a long time for British Aerospace to achieve profitability. In addition, the government’s requirements for the proportion of R&D expenses in the military field are the most troublesome for all companies participating in the auction.

   At this time, the whole of Europe is suffering from the impact of the oil crisis, and the banking industry is also suffering from the losses caused by the Latin American debt crisis.

  Many banks, especially large banks with strong capital, hold their money bags very tightly. Even in the financial center of London, it is not easy for some companies to take large loans.

Whether    can bear the losses that the British Aerospace Corporation needs to bear next, no one is sure, we must know that since the end of World War II, the Europeans are most afraid of wars, and they are almost fascinated by wars.

   Even the high-spirited British did not think about expanding the war after winning the Falklands War.

  In the hearts of most British people, it is enough to earn face back, and the war will continue. It is they who suffer, enough people died in World War I and World War II, and no one wants a big war.

   Therefore, British military enterprises are generally faced with the situation of shrinking their clothes and dieting, and the pay is disproportionate to the return, which gives the companies participating in the auction the driving force.

   Ten billion dollars of funds is like a timely rain, so that the Conservative Party headed by Mrs. Thatcher is extremely fond of Yang Chen, the big moneymaker.

   Even though the nasty British media rarely reported bad words about Yang Chen, they were more shocked that Yang Chen possessed such wealth at such a young age.

  In a capitalist society, money represents everything. Maybe everyone knew Yang Chen before because they had heard his songs and played handheld game consoles.

   But now everyone has only one impression of Yang Chen, that is, a super rich, a young excessive super rich.

  Young, representing an infinite future.

  Wealth means having unparalleled strength.

   It is no exaggeration to say that Yang Chen's influence is no less than that of some middle-level country leaders.

   "Boss, call Manager Yuan."

   Yang Chen gestured to the photographer on the side, took off his apron, walked to the side, and picked up the phone.

   "Hey, Tianfan"

   on the other end of the phone

   Yuan Tianfan said excitedly: "Boss, the negotiation is over, 51% of British Aerospace has been acquired by us."

  Yang Chen sat on the bench, as if everything was under control, and said, "Oh, it's over so soon."

   "I didn't expect it. Originally, they insisted on it, but today I don't know what happened, and suddenly gave in."

   "For this negotiation, we only need to pay half of the funds first, and the rest can be gradually paid off in five years..."

   "Boss, there is one thing, I don't know if it's true or not. Anyway, according to what they said, it seems that the British government has the idea of ​​further selling the shares of British Aerospace."

   Yang Chen heard a move, "Do you know the specific time?"

   "I don't know about this either. This news was disclosed privately by people from the British Aerospace Corporation, saying that the British government has this intention. They are not very clear about when."

  Yang Chen tapped lightly on the bench with his fingers. With the help of several major families in the UK and the concession of the British government, he once again saw the energy mastered by those families.

Yang Chen doesn't know whether the British government has any intention of continuing to sell the British Aerospace Corporation, but he has now mastered 51% of the shares of the British Aerospace Corporation. British Aerospace Corporation to make major adjustments.

After thinking for a while, Yang Chen said: "I know about this, you don't need to worry about the British Aerospace Corporation. Next, you will continue to release to the British government. We want to acquire the idea of ​​​​a telecommunications company. I need to know more about the UK. Whether the government has the idea of ​​selling telecommunications companies will have a very big impact on our access to the British telecommunications network."

   "Okay boss, then we are next"

   "Everything is going according to plan. You are only in charge of the acquisition, and I will send someone to handle the rest."

   "Yes, boss"

   hung up the phone, and Yang Chen put the phone aside.

   Tens of billions of dollars seem to be a lot of money, but Yang Chen still feels that it is a little bit less when it is actually used.

   As a former British Empire, there are so many resources available to British companies that he covets many British companies.

   Many British companies in this era are actually multinational companies.

   Take a company that is not very prominent in the UK, but its business extends to most of the Commonwealth of Nations.

  Many British companies have broad market channels in the former British colonies, and these companies are like giants in the local area.

  Companies like Li's Voice, as long as they are well managed, are actually the most promising companies.
