Chapter 203

Bristol wide Pier Hotel, penthouse.

On the terrace where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the port or the city, Arthur leans on the sofa, enjoying the cool autumn wind and the bright afternoon sunshine. On the white round table in front of him, there are lovely desserts. In the small white coffee cup, there is light heat, accompanied by pure fragrance, which makes this afternoon full of sweetness and coziness.

Lazy and elegant is the inherent unique temperament of British afternoon tea, which makes people instantly understand the reason why British people like to drink afternoon tea from their bones.

“。。。 How to put an elephant in the refrigerator

Facing her own investment and financial consultant Angela detailed about the contact process with several important managers of Bristol's coastal (natural gas) power station, Arthur, who was more and more lazy in the sunlight, suddenly interrupted Angela's report with a smile.

But his question directly let a white ol dress, a cool and cool makeup with wise eyes, showing her unique mature temperament Angela slightly stunned, full of doubt at the corner of the mouth, smiling young boss, some uncertain look at the lower body of the assistant.

Excuse me, how do you put an elephant in the refrigerator

"Oh, good." Arthur smiles and nods, looking at Angela, who is still a little confused.

“。。。。。。” Angela frowned for a moment, then shook her head suspiciously, looked at Arthur and said with some uncertainty: "sorry, boss, if it was me, I would take a picture, then open the refrigerator, put it in, close the refrigerator."

In the face of Angela's answer, Arthur can't help but look at her with appreciation. Although the correct answer is to open the refrigerator door, then put the elephant in, and finally close the refrigerator door, Angela's answer is very stable in terms of thinking ability and adaptability, which also shows her talent.

"I like your answer. The correct answer to this question is Arthur said the right answer again with a smile, and then, under Angela's thoughtful gaze, he continued: "sometimes success is so simple. After I talked to you the day before yesterday, I have been thinking about the acquisition. Since we are optimistic about the future of power plants, why should we complicate things? Why not simply buy 100% of them, 200 million pounds The difference between a pound and a 400 million pound is whether we can easily persuade the bank, instead of spending our time with the management and board of directors of the power plant, for the sake of interests! "

Anji's eyes brightened slightly, but soon shook his head and said with misgivings: "a wholly-owned acquisition will make the asset liability ratio of power plants exceed 100%. Once a certain link is in turmoil, it will directly affect the survival and development of power plants."

"Ha ha, which step of your future development plan is not gambling? Bet on the future, bet that our progress will not stop and the gold chain of gambling will not break. If we want to gamble, why not make a bigger bet? " Although Arthur smiles, his eyes are full of madness.

"Recently, I have read a lot of business books and found that almost no company's development mainly relies on internal expansion. Merger and acquisition are important strategies for enterprises to seek their own development and industry leadership. It is the countless stories of mergers and acquisitions, large and small, that have written our business history today.

Although every entrepreneur wants to expand Li and achieve his own business, the reality is cruel. It has to be said that merger and acquisition are "good shortcuts".

In fact, as long as you find the right husband's family and find a good partner, you can also fly together to achieve your dream. And if you encounter the wrong person, even the rich and powerful, you can't avoid the loss of your fortune. "

"It's just that the boss is like this. If we want to raise funds to complete the acquisition, it will be very difficult because the bank may not have the courage to give us loans at great risk." Angela said with concern.

Arthur confidently and calmly laughed, "ha ha, if my personal assets break through a new height in this period of time, and I have a lot of liquidity in my hand, do you think the bank will be afraid?

I think for a long time, before the London Olympics, we don't have to worry about the profitability of power plants. As you said in your report, according to the policy of the British government, all coal-fired power plants will be closed by 2025. The closure of coal-fired power plants will definitely lead to a serious shortage of electricity supply in the UK.

Do you think that with the current budget deficit of the British government, there is enough manpower, financial resources and time to build new gas-fired power plants?

I'm betting that there will be a shortage of energy supply in the UK in the future, and that the demand for electricity will continue to rise in the future as the population of the UK increases and the demand for transport increases. Electricity prices will continue to rise.

In this way, the power plant has become a good business. As long as we can send electricity, we can make money, and there is no pressure to repay! "

After hearing the boss's words, Angela, as an investment and financial consultant, fell into deep thought, and at the same time, she was deeply impressed by the confidence and courage of the young boss.As for Arthur, it's not that he is a man who has changed into an eel, but he suddenly thinks that with the economic recovery, the closure of coal-fired power plants and the shortage of energy supply, the asset value of power plants will definitely be higher and higher. At that time, if he can't play around, he will sell them to the next family at a high price, and covet the acquisition of Chinese capital around the world And the Chinese rich are undoubtedly the best buyers.

This industry, which was classified as a monopoly in the Chinese dynasty, is undoubtedly fatal to them. Instead of having only half of the shares in their hands at that time and being constrained by others, it is better to take all of them. At that time, we can even sell 49% of the shares at a high price to plug the previous 400 million pound hole!

Of course, he won't tell others about these ideas now, because that is the last way out, and the most cruel way is that barbarians like to do the most, enterprises listed to make money.

"If you really want to buy a wholly-owned company, then we should be ready to go public in advance. In this way, we can not only get rid of the high debt, but also have more capital and leeway to carry out the second step acquisition plan!" Angela recovers from her meditation and breaks her silence with a bright light in her eyes.

"Ha ha, there's a saying in China that heroes think alike. Let's be barbarians for a time. What's more, we don't even need any insiders. They will welcome our acquisition. After all, no one can prevent the government from selling 50% of the shares." Arthur laughed happily.

Angela also showed a brilliant smile. Although the risk of doing so would be greater, she was no stranger to this kind of Wall Street barbarian acquisition routine. She looked at the young boss with more admiration and praise.

She is basically sure that her young boss is really learning through reading various business cases. Of course, what she admires most is the courage of the young boss who is flexible in learning and bold in practice.

"I will immediately call in people to evaluate the new buyout plan, and prepare a new buyout agreement. Before implementing the buyout agreement, boss, you only need to hold a press conference..."

"Ha ha, I know, this strategy is called" the gun on the forehead. " Arthur couldn't help raising his eyebrows and laughing.

"Ha ha, that's right. After we do everything well, we can go to the board of directors. As long as we aim at the board of directors, they will not have much choice." Angela's eyes twinkled, smiling and nodding.

"Look, it's so simple now. It's as simple as putting an elephant in a refrigerator. What's more, I'd like to tell you that before I came here, I'd already talked to Bob diamond of the Bank of Barclays about my new idea. He didn't refuse. He said that he would let his subordinates evaluate it as soon as possible. I don't think it's a big problem."

"Oh, boss, you are really quick enough."

“。。。” Arthur pulled at the corners of his mouth, which was really speechless. Of course, he knew that Angela didn't mean that he was quick. After all, she had never tried.

Cough.

"Ha ha, only the correct acceleration, effective implementation in front of others."
