Chapter 170

    Control the clothing, food, housing and transportation of 70 million people? It''s a little exaggerated. However, if Angela''s series is almost completed, he Arthur can indeed control the lives of some British people.


    It''s just that the funds needed are too large and the plan is crazy. However, he is very interested and very interested.


    In return, for Arthur, he is very clear about how much he can gain through gold and financial investment. In the future, having a lot of money in his own hands may not be the best investment. Because only the circulation of funds, there will be more income.


    Compared with the U.S. market, the British market is in a declining situation. For businessmen, they prefer to invest in the bottom. Invest in the British market, you can buy at a low price and sell at a high price.


    Secondly, the investment plan is basically scarce infrastructure resources, with less risk, stable income, and the policy will not change day and night. Therefore, it will not be affected by too much Bo.


    Since ancient times, it has been more difficult to keep a business than to start a business.


    "Bristol''s coastal (gas) power station Arthur looked at the first project to be acquired in the planning book. He said his name, but his eyes turned to Angela.


    "Yes, Mr. Boleyn, you can take 50% of the shares and interests for only 200 million pounds. According to the information I have received, the reason why Centrica group will sell half of the shares and equity of a coastal power plant is mainly due to the outbreak of the global financial crisis. Energy prices plummeted. No matter the size of the company in the industry, it has been impacted by cash flow and financing cost.


    At the same time, the natural gas and power regulatory office conducted an energy sales market survey in response to the rapid price rise. In the report of the survey, while affirming the achievements of market development, it also combs all aspects of the market, and thinks that there are many areas that need to be improved.


    Subsequently, the regulatory office issued a series of measures to require the power sales companies to improve the transparency of electricity charges, ensure that the electricity charges reflect the cost, simplify the process of replacing companies by customers, supervise the marketing behavior of power sales companies, and report the performance of power sales department and power generation department respectively.


    These two unrelated events have objectively led to a turning point in the electricity sales market. In the past few years, the market was characterized by deregulation and the company''s efforts to capture the market with low profit margins. The pressure of economic environment in 2008 has led many power companies to adjust their strategies and focus on ensuring profit margins from this year.


    On the other hand, marked by the energy market survey, the direction of market supervision has changed significantly. From the previous focus on the establishment of market framework and rules, it has become more involved in the specific operation of the company.


    On the one hand, it standardizes the operation of many power selling companies, but on the other hand, it reduces the flexibility and diversity of the company''s operation. Changes in regulation mean that it is more difficult to price segments.


    Centrica group is willing to sell half of its shares and equity in Bristol''s coastal gas power station. It not only hopes to get part of the cash flow, but also wants to separate the performance of the power generation department. After all, the regulatory office''s involvement in the specific operation of the company has left Centrica group in a bind.


    The introduction of a third party can not only obtain funds, but also get rid of the entanglement with the regulatory office and avoid conflicts. "


    Angela heard that Arthur formally entered the topic, immediately began to analyze, at the same time, her heart was greatly relieved, she knew that her efforts had been successful.


    Sure enough, Arthur didn''t let her down. Looking at the detailed introduction of the past and present life of British electric power and the information of the six major forces occupying the power market in his hands, he looked up at Angela and said with a smile: "you are employed, so call me boss."


    "Thank you, boss, for giving me a chance. Thank you." Angela heard Arthur''s words, her cheek showed a sense of relief and joy, suppressed the excitement in her heart, said very grateful.


    "I appreciate your talent and ability." Arthur waved his hand with a smile, and continued to return to the point with indifference: "that is to say, for Centrica group, the sale of power plant is a win-win good thing, and I not only have to pay a lot of money, but also give them a shield, and entangle with the regulatory authorities?"


    "Boss, that''s not what accounts for." Angela also changed her serious expression and said with a more relaxed smile: "200 million pounds, you can get half of the shares of a power plant, become the largest shareholder and controller, and this is the most critical step for us to successfully carry out the follow-up plan.


    The power station itself is also a high-quality asset. Gas power is a clean, low-carbon energy source. Under the background of greenhouse gas emissions becoming the global focus, clean and low-carbon is the future development direction.


    At the same time, we don''t need to worry about the sales of electricity. Centrica group will eat all of them, and you can collect profits and dividends.


    As long as we successfully complete the second step of the plan, I think that the headache is Centrica group! "


    Arthur raised his eyebrows slightly, flipped through his plan, and looked at the second step of the plan. It was marked with "complete the acquisition of public utility companies in Wales and the west" with "funding", followed by the introduction of public utilities companies in Wales and the West.British Gas Company Wales and Western utilities. The network serves 7.4 million customers and covers nearly one sixth of the UK. The target acquisition price is between 600 million and 700 million pounds...


    Centrica group was established on the basis of the natural gas sales and Trading Department of British gas after privatization.


    If the two-step plan is really completed by then, I can easily get rid of the constraints of Centrica group and become a new energy upstart in the UK.


    "Ha ha, one link at a time, I like this plan!" The more Arthur thought, the more brilliant the smile on his face. He looked at Angela with satisfaction and said with a smile.


    Angela also showed a brilliant smile and said, "there are still many details to be improved in this plan. I will call up a team as soon as possible to analyze and improve the plan. Do you think we have started to contact Centrica group?


    I think it''s no secret that Centrica is going to sell its stake in the coastal power station. We can''t be the only one interested in it. "


    Hearing Angela''s concerns, Arthur nodded, and the news spread. It was certain that not only the family were interested, especially the various state funds and commercial giants that were taking advantage of the financial crisis to copy the bottom everywhere, but also the Chinese capital, which was about to start the global buy buy and buy model, might become their rivals.


    Even if he was lucky not to meet him this time, he would meet sooner or later. Now he has no confidence to break hands with those big consortia, so the only thing he can do is to start first.


    "Yes, I will not leave London during this period of time. I can set up an advisory group. I believe it will not be difficult for you to find talents in the UK investment sector, will it?" Arthur said to Angela with a smile.


    "Yes, tomorrow, I can call in some professionals for an interview." Now with Arthur such a billionaire boss, Angela Pingyi said confidently.


    "Then go and prepare. I''ve asked Smith JAMA to rent an office unit upstairs. In a moment, I''ll ask Smith to show you what you need and tell Smith that he will arrange someone to tidy up. From tomorrow on, you, the chief consultant of the Advisory Group, will be officially appointed." Arthur said with a smile.


    "Thank you, boss. Thank you again for giving me this opportunity." This time, Angela stood up and solemnly saluted Arthur.


    Arthur smiles and nods and looks at Angela''s back. Arthur can fully understand her mood at this moment. Many people and things can only be understood thoroughly and see the truth when she is in a low ebb. It is also because of this experience that he will cherish the opportunity more.


    Sitting in the boss''s chair, Arthur sighed. In this world, there are always few people who can help them in time of crisis. When he looks at the future planning book in his hand, he can''t help but smile bitterly.


    Where is he going to make so much money?!


    Although he knows his own business, his current status may not add up to 200 million pounds. Of course, after a period of time, gold has soared, and his value must be more than that, but now he can''t bring it out.


    What''s more, it''s a bit unwise to give up the financial investment that can''t make a loss and hit the industry completely.


    "It seems that I can only play M & A financing!" Arthur pondered for a moment, his eyes shining bright, and said to himself.
