We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?

In these days in London, the World Wide Web and the Daily Mirror website have been getting increasingly hot, not to mention the reaction in the stock market.

First, the share prices of Mirror Group and Reed International rose sharply, followed by a small increase in the share prices of companies that owned shares of these two companies.

Just when investors thought the market was almost stable, technology stocks exploded.

Websites require servers, and the Mirror Group spent 10 million US dollars to order a batch of servers and related equipment for subsequent Internet plans of other newspapers.

Among them, directly related listed companies such as Calendar and Far East Chip have seen increases in price. Companies such as IBM have also seen their stocks rise, and even Intel is no exception.

What Luo Nianzhong is most concerned about is the Frontier Server Company under the Far East Electronic Machinery Company.

This large server company, which has been established for nearly three years, is finally about to hit the fast track.

Cutting-edge servers, which have acquired a large amount of technology and patents from Hitachi, Texas Instruments, and RCA, have won 70% of the Mirror Group's orders. This company will rise rapidly as the Far East enters the network field.

“It seems that the World Wide Web has really taken the lead in the Internet, and even my company executives are considering whether to set up a Grosvenor Group website.

Universities and some government departments in the UK are now following up on this matter. At least in the UK it has been successful.

I heard that universities in other European countries and North America are interested in joining in, which will help them better promote themselves and also be a display of honor."

A display of honor? It's just a competition.

As the inventor of the World Wide Web, Soscolaro's Cambridge is certainly going to give the greatest support.

In just one week, Cambridge has filled its official website with a large amount of content, the most eye-catching of which are the achievements and celebrity alumni since the founding of Cambridge.

Many people learned through this official website that Cambridge is so awesome and that so and so studied here.

Cambridge’s Hall of Fame has become popular, so how can other universities sit idly by?

They are all universities with hundreds of years of history, and it seems that some of them have fewer celebrities. This also has an impact on enrollment.

Therefore, all the famous schools with a bit of history began to apply for funds to build official website plans.

“If Mr Grosvenor is asking for my opinion, my response is that it is premature.

However, not having an official website does not mean that we cannot do anything. The Grosvenor Group can definitely build a website for renting houses."

Grovner didn't understand much of this. To be honest, he only figured out the difference between the World Wide Web and the Internet in the past two days.

Luo Nianzhong also saw it and did not hide it.

"For example, I live in Wales and will be transferred to London in a few days for work. What is the first thing I should do when I arrive in London?"

"Find a house and settle down." This is part of the Grosvenor Group's business, and he is very familiar with it.

"Yes, but if there is such a website now, which allows him to find out all the houses in London and around his company, the prices and basic information of the houses in Wales, do you think I would check it out first?"

What Luo Nianzhong said was just the simplest function of the house rental website, but it made Grovner's eyes light up.

"No wonder everyone says Mr. Luo is a business genius that appears once in a century. Today I have really broadened my horizons."

"Mr. Grovner, you are too polite. Everyone has his or her own expertise. I just have a natural sensitivity in this area. Otherwise, what I would have founded now would not be the Far East Group but Far East Real Estate."

"That's really God's blessing. If you had focused on developing real estate, I would be the one who couldn't sleep now."

After Grovner finished speaking, Luo Nianzhong and he looked at each other and laughed. This is the black humor of the British.

“I agree with your proposal for cooperation with United Ports. I also have no objection to acquiring United Ports and merging it with Eurocruise.

This merger is beneficial to both parties, and I don't think the shareholders of European Cruise Line will have any objection.

Originally, I was only optimistic about the future development of United Ports Company. Now that I know Mr. Luo is also optimistic, I am even more confident.

But what I want to know is how the shares of United Ports will be calculated and who will be the majority shareholder of the new company after the merger."

"I want to have a say in the new company after the merger."

Luo Nianzhong had no way of determining how many shares the company had, as European Cruise Lines was a listed company and its size was less than one-eighth of United Ports, with a market value of around US$16 billion.

At the beginning of the year, the pound hit a record low, with one pound being exchanged for only 1.05 US dollars.

Because of the Plaza Accord, the pound has appreciated to 1 U.S. dollars, and the market value of Euro Cruises is only 1.37 billion pounds, so after the merger of the two companies, Euro Cruises' shares in the new company will not be enough.

The focus now is on the distribution of shares of United Ports, but there is also a problem. The British government requires that 40% of the shares of the privatized United Ports be kept as circulating shares, and the government also needs to retain about 10% of the shares, which means that Luo Nianzhong and the Grosvenor family will share the remaining %.

However, the Grosvenor family is the major shareholder of Euro Cruise, and the original shareholders of Euro Cruise will definitely favor the Grosvenor family in the new company, so an equal split is definitely impossible. Luo Nianzhong simply does not ask for control over the shares.

"What's the reason?" Grovner did not object first, but asked Luo Nianzhong to give him a reason to hand over control.

"Like you said, I am a business wizard, right? The new company will definitely develop better under my leadership."

Business wizard? Don't be ridiculous. This reason is very important in the minds of capitalists, but it is not that important, especially for relatively stable assets like ports.

“I can compensate the Grovners on other projects.”

This sentence finally made Grovner, who had been staring at Luo Nianzhong's answer, smile with satisfaction.

Reason? As long as the benefits are in place, that is the best reason.

"Tell me about it." Grovner made a gesture of wanting to hear more.

"Mr Grosvenor of Canary Wharf should know."

"I know. Dennis has joined forces with many people to acquire this land to build a new financial district. Some people are optimistic about it, but more people are not optimistic about this place."

At first, Luo Nianzhong wanted to use this place as a link between the Luo family and the old money in Britain, but many people were not optimistic about this place.

The reason is very simple. At that time, privatization had just begun and the future of Thatcherism was uncertain. Even now, privatization of the banking industry has not been carried out and many large banks in the UK are still state-owned.

If the banking industry remained the same and the government did not change its approach to the financial industry, the old City of London would be enough and there would be no need for a new city.

"What now?"

"Glovner smiled and said, "It seems that Mr. Luo has already taken over the land."

Now? The promotion of privatization is no longer a question of whether or not to change the banking industry, but a question of whether or not to change it.

Without foreign capital relying on state-owned banks and local banks, what is the point of large-scale privatization reform?

Isn’t the purpose of privatization to better develop the economy and make the market freer and more competitive?

Without foreign capital investment, these companies will be trapped in the British Isles.

State-owned banks? They need to deal with their losses first.

"The Grosvenor Group will take the lead." Grosvenor was tempted. Real estate was the main business of the Grosvenor family. Compared with the port, he would rather own a new financial city in England.

"No problem, but the overall plan needs to be according to my ideas."

The status of major shareholder can be given to you, but Luo Nianzhong must keep the strategic planning in his hands.

This is a world-famous brand that Luo Nianzhong wants to create, the Pangu series.

Pangu-Roppongi Hills, Pangu-New Territories Future City, and the Pangu-Canary Center in England will all become the most important landmarks of a city or a country.

In the future, there will be Pangu in the capital, Shanghai and other places. It will become the business card of large-scale high-end urban complexes. The invisible value here cannot be measured by money.

At that time, it will not be the case that Pangu will be built where the economic center is, but that wherever Pangu is built will be the economic center.

Think about the surrounding housing prices that may soar at any time. If you plan ahead, how much benefit you will get.

As for why the name Pangu was used, it’s because this old man is the world’s largest real estate developer and the entire world was created by him.

"That's a happy decision. I hope our cooperation will continue to satisfy both of us."
