Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

Even Mrs. Thatcher did not expect that Yang Chen would be so generous. Although the victory of the Falklands War increased her chances of being re-elected a lot, but there are no absolutes in the world, and the political struggle does not reach the last moment. No one knows what the result will be. .

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

Is it desperate, or long-term vision.

No one is clear about this point. Anyway, the major newspapers in London have different opinions on this, and it is impossible to 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 is thinking about, has entered the final negotiation stage in just a few days. .

Due to the strong financial resources demonstrated by overseas venture capital holding companies, several companies that originally participated in the bidding consciously withdrew.

In the eyes of others, it takes a long time for British Aerospace Corporation to achieve profitability. In addition, the government's requirements for the proportion of R&D expenses in the military field are the biggest headaches for all companies participating in the bidding.

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

Many banks, especially the large banks with strong capital, are holding tight to their money bags. Even in London, the financial center, it is not easy for some enterprises to obtain large loans.

Whether it can afford the losses that British Aerospace Corporation will need to bear next, everyone is not sure. You must know that since the end of World War II, what Europeans fear most is war, and they almost change their colors when they hear about war.

Even the British, who are now in high spirits, did not think about expanding the war after their victory in the Falklands War.

In the minds of most British people, it is enough to earn back their face, and the war will continue. It is their suffering. Enough people died in World War I and World War II, and no one wants a big war.

Therefore, the British military enterprises are generally faced with the situation of shrinking clothing and food, and the pay is not proportional to the return. This makes the companies participating in the bidding less motivated.

The tens of billions of dollars of funds, like a timely rain, made the Conservative Party headed by Mrs. Thatcher, like Yang Chen, the big money lord, to the extreme.

Even the British media, which has always been hated, rarely reported bad things about Yang Chen, and was more shocked by Yang Chen's wealth at such a young age.

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

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

Being young means having an infinite future.

Wealth represents unparalleled strength.

It is no exaggeration to say that Yang Chen's current influence is no lower than that of leaders of some medium-sized countries.

"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"

the other end of the phone

Yuan Tianfan said excitedly: "Boss, the negotiation is over, 50.00% of British Aerospace Corporation's shares have 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 also didn't expect it. Originally, they insisted on it all the time, but today they don't know what happened, and they suddenly gave in."

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

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

Yang Chen was moved when he heard it, "Do you know the exact time?"

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

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

Whether the British government has the intention to continue selling British Aerospace Corporation in the end, Yang Chen doesn't know very well, but he now has a 50.00% stake in British Aerospace Corporation. Make big adjustments.

After thinking about it, Yang Chen said: "I know about this, you don't have to worry about the British Aerospace Corporation anymore, and then you continue to release to the British government, we want to acquire the idea of ​​a telecommunications company, I need to know more about the British Aerospace Corporation. Whether the government has the idea of ​​selling the telecommunications company has a very big impact on our access to the British telecommunications network."

"Okay boss, then we're next"

"Everything is going according to plan. You only need to be responsible for the acquisition. I will send someone over to handle the rest."

"Yes, boss"

After hanging up the phone, Yang Chen casually put the phone aside.

Ten billion U.S. dollars seems like a lot, but Yang Chen still feels that it's a little less for real use.

As the former British Empire, there are so many resources that British companies can use, so many that he covets many British companies.

Many British companies in this era are actually multinational companies.

Take Li's Voice, a company that is not very eye-catching in the UK, but its business has extended to most of the Commonwealth member states.

Many British companies have extensive market channels in the former British colonies. These companies are all giants in the local area.

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

Chapter 754 Channels

Commercial trade needs a broad market support, among which channel resources are the most important.

In the former members of the Commonwealth of Nations, under the powerful rule of the British Empire, the resources owned by British companies in various regions are far beyond the reach of others.

Even after the end of World War II, British companies still supported the rapid recovery of the British economy relying on the channel resources they possessed.

Almost every British company owns many high-quality industries in various colonies. Due to the independence of the members of the Commonwealth of Nations, most of them are transferred through peaceful transfers, so many British companies have not suffered much damage.

Especially in Asia, where there are many population resources, its potential far exceeds that of other regions. The resources occupied by the British are so rich that it is unimaginable.

However, these British people did not cherish, utilize, and waste it in vain.

I don't know why, British companies seem to have a kind of pessimism, that is, as long as a region is not within the direct jurisdiction of the UK, British companies will gather power one after another.

This point can be seen from the situation of British capital in Xiangjiang. As Xiangjiang shows signs of returning, British capital has already begun to prepare to withdraw. The foundation established for decades does not seem to be distressed at all, and all warehouses are sold out. .

To be honest, with this kind of behavior, Yang Chen really doesn't understand the thinking of the British, he doesn't know how their heads grow, and they are so stupid.

Perhaps it was the glory of the past that made the British unable to see the changes in the situation, or blind self-confidence, thinking that if they left, the earth would not be able to continue to function normally.

However, in fact, in all the places where British capital evacuated, the last cheap people will only be local businessmen, who have the deep roots left by the British, as long as they are not stupid enough, they can make a lot of money.

Of course, one possibility is not ruled out, that is, they have done too many bad things, and the British are afraid of retaliation against them after the rise of the colonial powers.

In order to avoid losses and stop losses in time, I am afraid that this is the idea of ​​many British people.

Under the rule of the British Empire, British capital could be unscrupulous in the colonies, but as the British national power declined, its military strength regressed, and its hegemony was replaced by the two superpowers of the United States and the Soviet Union.

British capital has lost its backing, and it has changed from being aloof to being under the fence. No one will feel comfortable with this feeling.
