"Feng Yu, would you like to come to Xiangjiang? I want to discuss something with you. Tianlai's novel WWW.'⒉3TXT.COM"
Li Ren personally called Feng Yu and asked Feng Yu to come over. It's not that Li Ren maintains his own identity, but that Li Ren has been in poor health recently and is no longer allowed to travel long distances. Now he basically doesn't leave Xiangjiang.
Since Li Ren said something happened, it must not be a trivial matter. Feng Yu happened to be free, so he arranged a plane and flew to Xiangjiang.
At Li Ren's house, Feng Yu found that Li Zeju was also there. Li Ren planned to retire and was gradually pushing his eldest son to the forefront. It's just that other shareholders are not at ease with Li Zeju, thinking that he is too young, so the position of president can be given to him, but the position of chairman is not enough.
Especially during the financial crisis in the second half of last year, the stock prices of listed companies were declining. Although Li Ren's assets have not shrunk as a whole, the book assets of other shareholders have shrunk a lot.
They are worried that if Li Ren retires at this time, the company's stock price will be at a low point for a long time, which will be very detrimental to the company's development.
Li Ren is also thinking about how to support his eldest son in his last journey so that he can enjoy his retirement life with peace of mind. Although he does not have much work as the chairman and is not very tiring, he still has to make way for his son.
Even if he retires, he can still help his son, so that when he is really seriously ill and unable to work in the future, his son's succession will be more unstable.
"Feng Yu, I heard that you are teaming up with Kirilenko to acquire Lituo Group, right?"
"Yes, Kirilenko believes that Lituo Group has great potential, and the global demand for minerals will grow in the future. This is a good investment, and I agree with it." The whole world now knows this. Now, there is no need for Feng Yu to hide it.
"The acquisition negotiations are not going very smoothly, are they? I heard that Andy Rothschild is working on your matter. Did you invite his family to be the middleman?"
The Li people are very powerful in the UK. If he wants to know some news, he can find it easily.
Feng Yu nodded: "Lituo Group involves many countries, especially the attitudes in Europe, so we invited the Rothschild family, hoping to reduce this resistance."
If Feng Yu goes to negotiate, he is confident that the price can be negotiated, but it will not be easy to obtain approval from relevant organizations such as the European Union and Australia.
This is not one of those small companies, but a multinational group company, and it is the third largest mining group in the world at this time. The influence is huge, and it will be very difficult to successfully acquire it.
"I know that Lituo Group has shares in Huaxia Aluminum. You have already done the work here, right? I happen to have a good relationship with a director of Lituo Group. I can help you convince him to agree to transfer Sell the shares to you and try to convince others."
Li Ren took the initiative to help? Feng Yu didn't think that his relationship with Li Ren was so good. This should be an exchange of interests. Next, Li Ren would definitely have conditions.
Sure enough, Li Ren continued: "I plan to make a series of important investments in the UK next, and I need strong partners. I hope you can support me."
If Feng Yu's support is needed, this sentence is also very clear. Li Ren must hold a controlling stake, and Feng Yu will only be a shareholder at most.
He knew that most of Feng Yu's industries were owned by controlling parties. There were some investors, but most of them were cooperating with the Chinese government and were not suitable for holding shares.
He didn't know whether Feng Yu could agree to this request. If Feng Yu didn't agree, then he would have to find other partners. There were still many wealthy businessmen in Xiangjiang who were willing to cooperate with Li Ren.
It's just that the return period for this cooperative investment may be relatively long, and some people are unwilling to do so because they think the return of capital is too slow. Those people's eyes could not see the profound meaning of Li Ren's move.
The return cycle is long, but the best thing is safety. He can guarantee that this investment will not lose money. Now, the UK is in the midst of an economic crisis caused by the financial crisis and is in urgent need of foreign capital injection. Investment at this time can actually be regarded as bargain hunting.
Those companies in his hands will only appreciate in value, not depreciate, so the investment will not be a loss. But the investment amount is relatively high, and many people are hesitant.
"I don't know what kind of investment you are talking about. If I am interested, cooperation is not impossible, and it is no problem for you to hold a controlling stake."
"My Changhe Infrastructure will naturally invest in some infrastructure, such as power supply, water supply, pipeline gas supply, etc. Hutchison Whampoa mainly does ports, retail and so on. I plan to invest in transportation such as ports, railways and airports. If communications If I can get it, I plan to increase my investment in telecommunications."
As early as the millennium, Li Ren invested in the telecommunications business in the UK. The business was doing well. The profits were not high, but they did make money.
Sure enough, Li still has great ambitions and wants to invest in so many industries. However, these industries have all been done by Li people, both in Xiangjiang and other Southeast Asian countries, so they can be regarded as rich in experience.
"Uncle Li, you want to invest in so many industries, and the amount of planned investment is not low, right? So you plan to reduce your investment in the mainland and focus on the British market?"
"Not only that, but also the Australian market and the Canadian market. I also plan to increase investment in Nanyang and Malaysia, mainly related to real estate and ports. Investment in the mainland will indeed decrease, which I have already communicated. It is not expected that there will be any increase in investment in the future. Less than £30 billion, I mean my money."
Feng Yu understood that Li Ren said that he had communicated with him, which meant he had said hello to his superiors.
There is inevitably some worry from above. It is true that Li is from Xiangjiang, but Li Zeju is Canadian. Moreover, Li Ren's companies are all registered in the Cayman Islands and Bermuda Islands. It is said to be for tax avoidance, but it also reduces China's influence on them.
But what many people don't know is that Li Ren's eldest grandson, Li Zeju's only son, is from Xiangjiang. This enterprise will eventually be passed into the hands of the people of Xiangjiang.
Before Li Zeju returned to Hong Kong, he had dual nationality. However, after returning to China, China did not allow him to retain dual nationality. Li Zeju gave up his Hong Kong citizenship in order to do business better.
Under the rule of the same British Queen, it will be much easier to approve mergers, acquisitions and investments of many companies. And Li Ren also made it clear that he is Chinese and his roots are here. The best proof is that he refused the title of dukedom from the Queen of England.
In fact, the Li people's massive investment in the UK is also related to the above. After all, the Li people are still Chinese. Such large-scale economic investments are also in people's livelihood infrastructure, and their influence on the UK will become great in the future.
Li Ren's companies have to invest 30 billion pounds, and they have to find others to form a consortium, so the amount of investment he actually plans to invest will definitely be higher. Even a rich man like Li Ren cannot come up with such a large amount of funds alone. .
"I wonder if Uncle Li wants me to invest in your company or form a joint venture?" Feng Yu asked in detail. This is related to issues of interest and power. If he were simply to be an idle shareholder, Feng Yu would definitely not do it.
