I Want To Be a Rich Man on Hong Kong Island

Chapter 612 [Privatization of Layout John Bull]

Inviting Moon Manor.

The British branch of the Wu family spent the weekend happily in the manor!

Wu Guangyao and Kaila have three sons and one daughter, the eldest son Wu Xianlei, the second son Wu Xianyu, the eldest daughter Wu Qianxun, and the third son Wu Xianming;

Wu Xianlei has been developing in the United States for 14 years (including studying), and has already married and established a business. He has two sons and owns two major conglomerates, Star Media and Disney. It can be said that he is a new chaebol in the United States!

Wu Xianyu is also married and has a daughter. His wife is currently suspicious for another 6 months. This time it is a son; Wu Xianyu is currently working as an assistant to the chairman of the Metro Group and will be the helm of the Metro Group in the future!

Wu Qianxun is 23 years old this year, and has a boyfriend who is the heir of a well-matched British wealthy family; although Wu Guangyao doesn't care about these things, it is very gratifying to find a well-matched man!

Wu Xianming is only 19 years old this year. It may be because he is the fourth child. Keira's requirements are not as strict as those of his two elder brothers, which makes him somewhat rebellious.

This weekend, Wu Xianlei, who is far away in the United States, also took his wife and children on a private plane and returned to London to reunite with his family.

After the weekend ended, Wu Guangyao called Wu Xianlei to the study;

"Since we have bet on Reagan, we need to consider what he can do for us after he is elected! What do you think he can do for us?" Wu Guangyao tested.

Wu Xianlei already had a plan in mind, and said without hesitation: "Buy ABC!"

"That's right, a 'media tycoon' without your own TV station, is that still called a 'media tycoon'? The reason why you invested in Reagan is mainly because you are too young, but you have enough influence in the United States; so there must be some There are few enemies hiding in the dark to hinder your growth."

As Wu Xianlei moves more and more, it is bound to cause interference from the strength of the United States;

But if there is a president as the backing, the pressure will be reduced a lot.

Wu Xianlei has accumulated a lot of political contacts in the United States over the years, and what he lacks to become a real chaebol in the United States is time, and Reagan came to power, just giving Wu Xianlei ten years to grow!

"Father said yes! But the acquisition of ABC is expected to cost 2 billion to 2.5 billion US dollars, and I want to raise funds to help my mother pay off some loans; therefore, there is a lot of financial pressure!" Wu Xianlei worried.

Wu Xianlei knew that his father's money was basically invested, and he couldn't afford such a huge amount of money;

In addition, the money in the hands of the father has to be approved by the aunt to spend such a huge amount of money.

Wu Guangyao waved his hand and said, "Just take care of your own business. I will handle the loan from your mother! Now the price of gold has climbed to 280 US dollars per ounce. According to my analysis, it will skyrocket until the end of the year. By then, I can come up with tens of billions of dollars in cash flow. So, after you go back this time, you should study carefully how to win the ABC!"

Hearing his father say tens of billions of dollars, Wu Xianlei almost exclaimed!

After calming down, Wu Xianlei said calmly: "Well, I will be ready!"

Historically, in March 1985, Metropolitan Communications acquired ABC for $3.5 billion, and the company was changed to Metropolitan ABC,

But the original name is generally still used; in 1995, Disney, the media empire in its heyday, intervened and acquired ABC TV station at a sky-high price of 19 billion US dollars.

So, the sooner you buy it, the more money you can save!

At this time, Wu Xianlei holds Disney and Star Media in his hands. The asset value of the two companies is at least 3 billion U.S. dollars, and the loan is only 1 billion U.S. dollars. He is fully capable of using the loan to acquire ABC Company;

What's more, Disney is about to go public, and it is expected that the market value will reach more than 3 billion US dollars by then, and it will be able to raise funds at that time!

"I have two points to tell you, I hope you will remember them well!" Wu Guangyao thought for a while and said again, he was really worried about his son, not because he was not capable enough, but because he was taking a detour!

Wu Xianlei quickly said seriously: "Father, please tell me, I will remember your words!"

Wu Guangyao nodded and said, "First, France should never be considered when choosing the location of Disneyland. France itself is a popular tourist attraction. Few tourists go to Disneyland for a day; moreover, the French are arrogant and unwilling to accept American culture. Invade their native land."

After Wu Guangyao finished talking about the first point, Wu Xianlei's heart skipped a beat. Someone in the company did propose to build Disneyland in Europe in the past two years, and the proposed location was in Paris;

After all, with such a rich boss, these managements also want to spend money to grow the company.

Wu Xianlei nodded quickly, expressing that he would strictly implement his father's opinion!

"Second, after ABC gets it, the first task is to make up for the speed of news response, and it must be at the same level as CBS, NBC and other companies; the second is a TV program that I thought of. This program is very simple, called "" Who wants to be a millionaire, the rules of the program are extremely simple, as long as you answer 15 questions correctly in a row, you can win a grand prize of 1 million pounds......."

Wu Xianlei listened very carefully, for fear of missing a word!

"Father, you are a genius! I'm sure, with these two tricks you taught me, I have more confidence in ABC's business!"

Wu Guangyao nodded. These are the experiences of later generations. Although he only talked about it, its effect is already very huge!

"Okay! Go to bed!"

It was getting late, Wu Guangyao asked Wu Xianlei to accompany his wife and children!

Wu Xianlei came to Wu Guangyao's desk, Wu Guangyao knew what he meant, got up and hugged his son!

"Father, I will not let you down!"

"Well, go! Don't let your wife and son down, you are almost 30 years old!"

Wu Xianlei's wife Kelly is a good daughter-in-law, she respects Wu Guangyao very much and takes care of her family very much;

Therefore, Wu Guangyao often indoctrinates his son to manage his family well!

 …

Monday, Metro Building.

The London branch of the Wu family formally formed the acquisition team, some were transferred from the 'Guangyao Family Office', some were transferred from the Metro Group, and Kaila Law Firm also took on the legal and accounting tasks for this time;

In addition to the acquisition team, Lloyds Bank was also selected as the acquisition advisor.

After the team was formed, the acquisition offer was not issued immediately, but the car company was established and the management team of the car company was found;

According to Wu Guangyao's vision, the established automobile company is equivalent to a head office, not an auto alliance company;

If it is the Automobile Alliance, then the voice of the British Wu family will be weakened, and this alliance will not change the status quo of the British auto industry;

There are lessons learned from previous lives:

In the 1960s, the British government came forward to promote MG, Rover, Jaguar, Triumph, MINI, Land Rover and other automobile companies to form an alliance "British Leyland Company". The company covers cars, trucks, buses, commercial vehicles, sports cars, SUVs, special vehicles and other businesses, as well as about 35 brands, but this Leyland company was later known as the last glory of British cars.

However, the huge scale also makes the management too complicated. The 35 brands all think that they are the boss of subdivided models, and no one is convinced;

Under the intensification of internal conflicts, Leland was on the verge of bankruptcy and was nationalized by the British government in 1975;

After nationalization, the British government provided a lot of policy and financial support for Leyland, but due to its own poor internal environment, this behemoth still failed to achieve profitability.

In the mid-to-late 1980s, the British government finally privatized Leyland, and many sub-brands were sold out.

Therefore, the Wu family will never want any alliance company, but a real head office that manages famous British car brands!

There is no problem with the technology of the British automobile industry, and it can even be said to be very good;

It can be seen from the fact that the world's auto brands have come to the UK to open branches and R\u0026D centers, these auto companies have come to the UK to learn from their teachers;

Even in the 21st century, the British automobile industry is still quite strong;

The car brand has been sold, but the UK is still an important production place and R\u0026D center for auto parts in the world.

 …

Thatcher has been in power for two months, and the ruling plan has basically been drawn up;

After receiving Keira's appointment, Thatcher immediately arranged a meeting.

Because they met in Downing Street, the two were very formal, and both sides had escorts.

After some greetings, the two sides sat down to have a formal conversation;

"Prime Minister Thatcher, as far as I know, the current government intends to fully develop the financial industry and has carried out dematerialized industrial operations."

Keira's straightforward words surprised Thatcher a little!

I also feel in my heart that this "good sister" of mine became famous in the UK much earlier than myself. When I was the spokesperson of the Conservative Party, she was already the richest woman in the UK, and the British pride of taking the British retail industry to the world!

At that time, I might not have been jealous of her, and it also gave birth to my goal of becoming a political strong woman!

Now that he has become the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, he can finally overwhelm her!

"Ms. Keira, what you said is too general. The government's policy is a complicated issue!" Naturally, Thatcher would not betray the government with all his heart and soul!

Keira smiled and said: "Maybe, but the general policy should be like this! I came to the Prime Minister this time to take on the responsibility of revitalizing the British auto industry and hope to get the support of the government! This is my plan. Hope to get the Prime Minister's guidance!"

Keira handed over a not-so-thick document with full confidence in her eyes!

My man has already figured out how his good sister is governing, and then prescribes the right medicine. The British government is absolutely willing to see him take over the mess in the automotive field.

Hearing that Keira was interested in the automobile field, Thatcher felt a little embarrassed;

If the good sisters are interested in petroleum, electric power, steel and other fields, I can provide some help;

But in the automotive field, I have some worries, the man behind the good sister!

Thatcher accepted the plan blankly. Although he was worried, he was also curious about what the plan would look like. Keira dared to talk about reviving the British automobile industry.

At this glance, it was out of control, and I was completely immersed in the plan!

Total investment not less than 2 billion US dollars.....

While maintaining the high-end automobile market, take out some brands to sink into the low-end field; for example, Land Rover, Jaguar, MINI...

Land Rover focuses on the field of off-road vehicles, Jaguar focuses on the field of bridge cars, station wagons, and sports cars, and MINI focuses on the field of mini cars and women's cars. …

Market channel expansion plan.......

The final promise: the new car company will never move out of the UK, and regard the UK as its base camp and headquarters, and increase a large number of British jobs.

Thatcher read the entire plan and said, "It seems that you have put in a lot of effort, and you really like to develop the British auto industry!"

Keira nodded seriously, and said, "This is another challenge for me, and I'm ready for it!"

In the end, although Thatcher did not express his position, Keira knew that the new prime minister was already moved!

I am afraid that there is no country whose leader will not be tempted. In a declining field, there are actually capitalists from the country investing a lot of money;

Most importantly, there is a seemingly perfect plan!

Keira knew that, according to her man, during Thatcher’s administration, Britain would go all out to develop the financial industry and carry out dematerialized industrial operations; and the automobile industry, as a master of the real economy, would be replaced by this session of the British government. The government regards it as a burden. Without the involvement of the Wu family, the entire British car brand will be destroyed!

As an Englishman, Keira is undoubtedly unwilling to see this phenomenon!

And his man has already planned a path for himself: first take Rolls-Royce, so that he has two car brands-Rolls-Royce and Bentley; It is possible to win MG, Rover, Jaguar, Triumph, MINI, Land Rover and other automobile companies; the last is to become a shareholder or alliance of auto parts companies, not limited to the UK, such as Magna in Canada.

With such a large investment, Kaila was also a little worried about the funding issue. Wu Guangyao just said lightly at that time: "I can give you 5 billion US dollars to play with!"

After finishing speaking, Kaila held Wu Guangyao's arm tightly and asked how much gold/oil would earn this time;

Wu Guangyao stretched out five fingers, causing Kayla to almost bite her tongue!

50 billion dollars!

It's crazy!

 …

Back home, Wu Guangyao asked Kaila about what happened in detail;

"I think she must have agreed and will help me in this regard!" Keira said confidently.

Wu Guangyao nodded and said: "If you disagree, it also shows that this prime minister is not a blessing to you British people. In fact, even if I personally come to buy the British auto industry, it will be beneficial to the British; you must know that the current world China's auto market is basically monopolized by Japan, Germany, and the United States, how much interest do you British have in this regard!"

Keira nodded, obviously agreeing with this point of view!

To put it simply, referring to Lenovo Group, the world's business circles generally believe that Japan does not know how much light it has taken in these years;

Because none of them are time-travelers, they don’t know that these belong to Japan’s brilliance, but they think it is the brilliance brought to Japan by Lenovo Group!

The outside world generally believes that the overall defeat of American Electric is related to the "Ten Days Meeting" led by Lenovo;

In addition, Lenovo Group does have too many contemporary products, which make countries envious!

"I think it is no problem for the family office to invest 30% of the new company's shares!" Keira said.

Although I really want to get all the shares, so that I can get more property for the four children;

But Kaila also knows that only by paying for this big family can she satisfy her man!

"Well, I will do as you say!" Wu Guangyao said with satisfaction in his heart.

This time, Wu Guangyao intends to give Kaila 3 billion US dollars of funds for him to seize shares in the privatization of the UK;

Of course, I also hope that the 'Guangyao Family Office' can also obtain some shares to increase the foundation of the family office.

Then, Wu Guangyao gave Kaila specific instructions to grab shares in those fields, such as telecommunications, electric power, radio, BP...

It doesn't need much, just 3% of the shares in each field will do!

"There is a company that you need to buy more shares from, that is Great East Telegraph and Telegraph in the United Kingdom! This company is related to my telecommunications layout in Hong Kong, so try to increase your influence!"

"kindness!"
