"In this case, let's count the Thomson family as a share! I don't know what the investment scale of this acquisition will be? If each family's investment does not exceed 2 billion pounds, then our Thomson family can still afford it. !¡±
"I don't need so many! This time I only have one target brand that I like, but it has to be divided into two parts. That is the Rolls-Royce brand that was administratively divided into two parts by the British government! I wonder if Sir Thomson is satisfied with this brand?"
Old Thomson was not surprised that Zhao Zhenbei chose the Rolls-Royce brand, because this brand is indeed a famous brand in the British and even the world's automobile manufacturing industry. However, poor management led to the decline of this brand. That¡¯s all.
"Two Mr. Zhaos! I have a question. Part of the Rolls-Royce Aircraft Engine Company seems to be under the control of the British government. The government still takes over 35% of its shares and wants to acquire Rolls-Royce Aircraft. For an engine company, it¡¯s not enough just to have enough funds! With Hong Kong Star Investment¡¯s Hong Kong background, I¡¯m afraid the British government won¡¯t sell the 35% shares!¡±
Zhao Zhenbei looked calm and was not intimidated by the difficulties presented by Old Thomson: "Sir Thomson is right! So our mission at Hong Kong Star Investment is to acquire enough aircraft engine company shares from the stock market. , of course, we use different accounts to purchase separately, and it will never exceed the 3% warning line! This way the British government is unlikely to notice!"
"As for the 35% of the shares held by the British government, it will be left to the Thomson family and the Morrison family to operate. The British government has always hoped that someone can take over the hot potato of the Aircraft Engine Company. You just came forward to say so. understand their wishes!¡±
"Today, the aircraft engine shares still controlled by Rolls and Royce, two famous families, add up to less than 20%. It would be best if they could be acquired. It doesn't matter if they can't be acquired. As long as they can be acquired, It would be great if the government takes over the 35%, and with the circulating stocks on the market, it will be very easy to achieve a controlling stake!"
¡°The Rolls-Royce Motor Cars part is relatively easy, because since Rolls-Royce Motor Cars was acquired by Vickers in 1980, the operating conditions of the entire Rolls-Royce Motor Cars have not been very good, and Vickers has With the intention of selling it, as long as the Thomson family and the Morrison family come forward, I believe there is a great chance that we can take it over from the Vickers Company!"
"The entire acquisition plan is expected to use about 5 billion pounds of funds. Among them, the aircraft engine company has a market value of 4.5 billion, and it is expected to spend 3.6 to 4 billion pounds to acquire 80% of the shares. For the automobile company, after Vickers takes back the Bentley brand, The market value is estimated to be only about 300 million pounds. If we offer 350 million pounds, I think Vickers Company will sell it!"
"After the acquisition is completed, the shares held by the three of us will be distributed according to 4:3:3. Our Hong Kong Star Investment will get 40% of the shares, and the Thomson family and the Morrison family will share the remaining 60%! The proportion of investment by the three of us is also It will be distributed according to the proportion of shareholdings!"
The acquisition plan proposed by Zhao Zhenbei is undoubtedly in line with Old Thomson's wishes. As the most powerful of the three cooperations, Hong Kong Star Investment should take 40% of the shares. At the same time, in order to prevent Hong Kong Star Investment from becoming the dominant player , the shares held by the Thomson family and the Morrison family combined reached 60%, far exceeding the majority of 51%.
"I think this plan is very reasonable. I can agree to it on behalf of the Thomson family. As long as there are no problems with George Morrison, we can start the acquisition plan immediately! But I have a problem. None of the three parties we cooperate with have Having been involved in the automobile manufacturing industry, how can we introduce the most advanced automobile production technology after completing the acquisition?"
Zhao Zhenbei and Zhao Zhennan both laughed after hearing Old Thomson's question. It wasn't until Old Thomson looked at the two of them with puzzled eyes that Zhao Zhennan reluctantly stopped laughing and explained to Old Thomson. .
"Sir Thomson doesn't need to worry about this. I just came back from the United States. Last week, our Hong Kong Star Investment just spent more than 30 billion US dollars to acquire several listed companies in the United States, including General Motors. It fully acquired the Houston Aircraft Manufacturing Company and the German Opel car brand."
"These two companies, plus the Rolls-Royce Aircraft Engine Company and Rolls-Royce Motor Cars that we are about to acquire, can just form a complete aircraft and automobile manufacturing group company! No technical issues are a problem anymore! And by the way, it also solved part of the aircraft engine company¡¯s sales!¡±
The big consortium takes action??It is no small matter that Hong Kong Star Investment has been involved in a series of business investment cases over the past year, which has attracted the attention of countries in Europe and the United States. In particular, those conglomerates that have controlled the political economy of the United States have raised their level of attention to Hong Kong Star Investment. Reached the highest five-star level.
These large conglomerates that are interested in Hong Kong Star Investment include almost the top 20 financial groups in the United States. When it comes to how they view Hong Kong Star Investment, these powerful consortiums are divided into three interest groups with completely different attitudes. .
The interest group headed by First Citigroup, which is mainly composed of directors of Citigroup, believed that outstanding emerging families like Hong Kong Star Investment should be roped in to join their ranks, so they brought Hong Kong Star Investment into Citicorp, and Let Hong Kong Star Investment become the fourth largest shareholder of Citigroup.
Interest groups headed by the Morgan consortium believe that Hong Kong Star Investment actually made its fortune after making huge profits during the U.S. stock market crash. Its rise has greatly damaged the interests of their American conglomerates, so it should To curb the development of Hong Kong Star Investment from all aspects.
In addition to these two attitudes, there is also a more powerful interest group that remains neutral, that is, the Jewish consortium headed by the Rothschild family. This is the most powerful interest group among the three consortiums. The total assets under its control reached US$5 trillion by the end of 1987.
Among them, the Rothschild family controls no less than three trillion US dollars in assets, which is almost equivalent to one-fifth of the total wealth of the United States in 1987.
The total assets controlled by the other two interest groups are far different from that of this neutral consortium interest group. They are only on par with the assets controlled by the Rothschild family, which only reaches 3 trillion. It's just the level of the U.S. dollar. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
